LQ4/9 Block casting numbers? Can some one post a link or let me know the casting numbers on the Lq4/9 block for 2001+ years. On the hunt for a LQ4/9 and dont want to buy the short block with the longer rear flange if I get the Lq4. So I need a casting number(s) for the 2001+blocks...Thanks

I also know you can tell the difference in the heads, Aluminum VS iron. But I dont want some1 saying its a 2001+motor because it has the 317 heads. anyone can swap the heads and say its a 01+motor.

I don't think the block casting number will be different,it is primarily the crank and heads.

u can tell just by looking at the rear main seal/cover. if the flange sticks out about 1/2 in, its a 2000.
i prefer the long flange crank engines, the offset is correct to use a sbc trans, such as th350/400 without spacer.

If it has a flywheel and there is a spacer, it is a newer style.
