lq9 72 corvette? hi guys i am a newb on here so any help would be greatly appreciated. i have a bare 72 corvette which i was going to run a basic old school 350 in and then i came across a lq9 complete with 5,000 miles no ecm or wiring harness for $600. i know nothing of these motors other than they are iron block 6.0 litres. my questions are
1. what kind of power can u make
2. what mods are the best bang for the bucks
3. would you make it fuel injected or carb
4. are ecm and wiring harnesses hard to find
5. will a t56 bolt to it

LQ9 > Vette 1. what kind of power can u make > + - 400 stock as the stock 6.2 is like 400 + now. And that's factory tune with all the garbage on it.
2. what mods are the best bang for the bucks > More air in = more air out.
Bypass the TB coolant lines so the TB won't be heated by the coolant. Have a Speed Density tune done to eliminate the MAF. K-N air filter or equiv. Good headers and a low restrictive exhaust. LS 6 intake. Underdrive crank pulley for a few ponies.
3. would you make it fuel injected or carb > EFI
4. are ecm and wiring harnesses hard to find > No, Painless wiring for that app would be the best.
5. will a t56 bolt to it > Probably not as the 6.0 crank is suppose to stick out a little more on the back. You could swap it out with a 5.3 or 5.7 crank with a rebalance as the stroke is the same.
