Lq4+ls1?
I am going to pick up a complete LQ4 from a 2000 GMC truck and an 1999 LS1 with damage pistons and bad block, but everything else is in good condition, ie: crank, heads, connecting rods. The cam will be the polluter from Tick Performance, and it will be carbed. How can I Frankenstein these two motors to make the best combination without spending much money? It will be going into a 1968 Camaro with a TH400.
If this is in the wrong section, I am very sorry. I wasnt sure where to put it.

It would probably be in your best interest to use the heads and oil pan/pickup from the LS1 and use it on the LQ4. I'm assuming the LQ4 has 317 castings, which have a larger chamber than the LS1 heads. Using the LS1 heads will increase compression.
The oil pan and pickup tube is probably needed to clear in the Camaro chassis.
