4" crank and pistons for the LQ4 ??? I think I'm going to pull the trigger and buy an LQ4 that I found at a local salvage yard. I'm wanting to install L92 heads with an L76 intake and a cam of a yet to be determined spec. Can I buy a bare L76 intake and use the LQ4 fuel rails, TB, etc?
Anyway, I want to also go with a 4" crank for a nice balanced 402ci.
What GM crank/rods/pistons are the people using who are building 4" stroke 6.0L's? I don't think I want to machine the heads but I'm looking for the highest cr that I can get away with on CA 91 octane. I'll be tuning the engine myself as I've been doing it for years now on pre-LS gm engines.
I'm trying to get all the part numbers together so I can get a final price before ordering everything.
Thanks!

IMHO I think you would be better off buying a 408 shortblock from one of the sponsors. ~$3500 By the time you buy the motor from the salvage yard, buy crank, rods, and pistons you are already over $3K and that is not including new bearings and machine work..
