Still looking. Let me know.


Thanks

 

whats the main differences between the two?

 

The Lq9 has a cast iron block, hypereutectic flat top pistons, 317 heads, 10:1 compression, better rods.
The Lq4 has an aluminum block, cast dished pistons, 317 heads, 9.41:1 compression, cheaper.

 

Buy my fully forged motor complete

 

How much are you looking to spend?

 

i believe lq4s are also iron not aluminum

 

Lq4 and lq9 share the same parts number only diff being rods and pistons. Lq9 having alittle higher compression. Only thing I would look for is getting as new of a block as possible sine I believe 02 and belies crank is 1/4 inch shorter and you have to use shims to line the tranny parts up (ninetres can elaborate more ) if u wan u can buy a bare block from the dealership cheap as he'll and swap over your crank and all covers for a 370 block. I would just upgrade the rods and pistons since u have it open anyways. If your trying to save money and **** you may wanna call some of the speedshops as all the labor and parts will run about the same as a shortblock would cost you. Just thinking for you as I'll need someone to race .

 

My bad, I stand corrected.
They are the same iron block.

 

damn well in that case ill look for a full rotating lq9 for my next build! pm me if you got anything local.


so the 370 is what a 6.2?

 

The 99-half of 00 was the .40 longer crank that will not work behind the T56, so pay attention if you want to run a T56.

The one you want is flush with the seal for the 6 speed.

 

Be safe and hope you get back soon buddy.

Im sure my car will still be slow by then but you'll get your race

 

imma run train on that snail when he gets back on bottle. plus hes lucky i didnt have our camcorder on when we raced last time, /troll

 

TTT

Still looking

 

What are you looking to spend? I have a 2005 lq4 with 22k miles on it. Short block only.
