LS6 or LQ4 Well I'm doing a motor build on the SS
I picked up a LS6 block for dirt cheap and I was told that it has 8K TOTAL on the motor, looks great.
I have both front and rear cover, and a stock 5.3 crank, and some 5.3 heads.
My question is, should I just go ahead a look for a LQ4 block or build the LS6?

If you already have the ls6 block, I don't see why you would change now.
My opinion though is that if starting from scratch the 6L block is the way to go since GM performance has shifted to 4" and bigger bore.

Verdad Gallardo That is all thats done to mine right now P&P, had the spring seats enlarged to 1.55, when I get them pulled I am gonna take the stock 2.00 vavles out of my 317 casting and have them fit into the 5.3 heads.
