I bought it for $2500 interior is flawless...
clear title...
has a blown motor (busted rod and piston) everything is there from front to rear.


i just so happen to have a 2006 LQ4 with 42k miles,that will be receiving new springs,a baby cam new timing chain,and a 4200 stall converter from Performance Torque Converters of Texas http://www.greatconverters.com/.
i wont rebuild the 4l60as,just because i have a t350 sitting in the shop with a converter as well.
new 255 walbro pump and a hot wire kit for the pump as well,ebay headers,B&M trans cooler,new energy suspension inserts,and all new exhaust
this bish should run and sound GOOD.
for the time being i will be running the stock Ls1 intake,for the simple fact that every damn time a LS6 intake comes available its freaking GONE.. quick
thanks

Nice buy, to run that 2006 LQ4 you will need a converter box for the reluctor wheel

pulled the motor and it has a busted rod and it poked a small hole in the side of the block and a big hole in the bottom of the pan,no big deal though, i will just set it to the side a repair it later.
the 6.0 (Lq4)is completed with new springs and cam,headers,ls1 intake etc etc,nothing special.
i know i know, mill the heads and blah blah but it is a low mileage motor and i didnt want to break it open,hell i didnt even pull the starter off of it.
tomorrow im going to clean up the bay and tunnel tad bit. then when i lower the k member i am going to pressure wash it again and make it look good and clean.

well i got the motor in and wired up,tomorrow i will install the trans and swap out the fuel pump and wire up the hot wire kit for the fuel pump,install radiator and fans etc etc.
i guess im slow.
i feel i should have gotten more done to day ,like getting it up and running,but that will be tomorrow.
oh well

If you're still looking for a ls6 intake, I have one for sale in the texas classifieds along with some other stuff.

Nice find!!!! We just picked up a 2000 Z28 with 150k miles for 3k, Good motor and trans, just needed a good cleanup.

Thanks
Well the car has 83k miles, and the interior is extremely clean so is the exterior.
^^^
as far as the Ls6 intake,right now isnt good timing for me,thanks though.

Would have finished to day but I screwed up and didn't check converter to flex plate bolt holes...
I left the 4l80 flexplate on the motor, and I have a 4l60 converter. Bolt holes are different.
Damn it.......

damn what a pain in the ***.
you would think i was rebuilding a tinker toy set....
got the flexplate put in,thanks to KYLE at THOMPSON MOTORSPORTS for hooking me up with one at a damn good price..
that KYLE guy is a straight up dude...... "GREAT GUY" cannot say enough about him.
anyone thats has any bad dealings with him has issues with everyone anyways.
i guess my arms and hands are just to big.
i put in new poly mounts and the motor mounts dont allow the transmission to drop down enough to get my hands and arm in to those tight places
i got extensions swivels etc etc.....
still a pain in the ***.
quick connect clips on the transmission lines, HOLY ****.....
anyways i got it all put together.
just gotta get THE MUFFLER KING https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=128217 to finish off my exhaust......
thanks

What city do you live in, just curious? And DAMN, I wish I had seen this thread before, I would have loved to come out and help you with this, I've been busting my ***** trying to find someone doing an LQ4/9 swap into an Fbody, I want to do one myself, but I don't know anybody in the DFW who knows anything about engines, and I've never done it before either and want to learn as much as possible

*sigh*

Damn this car put up a good fight.
Water pump leaked.
Injectors that I got leaked.
Down by the intake/bung area.
The rails and injectors, I pulled them bitches out along with the professional products rails(pp rails was not the issue). So i put the stock rail back on with green tops and all is well now.
She sounds like an open header bracket car. Lol......
