Im thinking about dropping a 6.0 in the T/A. Should i get the LQ4 or LQ9.
ive found a couple LQ4's in my area but no luck on the LQ9, the car will aslo be N/A.
Which one will be better for N/A i dont know much about these engines so i appreciate the help.

LQ9 for N/A. Why u want a 6.0 tho? What do u want out of it? What do u currently have?

I can't think of anybody that would want to drop a 6.0 in their car.

right now i just have !AIR !EGR, LT headers, LS6 intake, and borla catback.
i was thinking about building a 408 but not sure yet.
I might just drop in the LQ9 and get a H/C package.

There is no difference between the lq9 and the lq4 blocks. Difference is mainly the heads.

4bolt mains?!?! This aint no small block chevy. All LSX style motors have 6 bolt mains. Two from the side and 4 from the bottom.

guess i was told wrong, i'm new to all the LSX motors really, ive had a 2500HD for a year but never really got into performance mods since it was a truck. Guess thats why im here on the site, to learn.

the lq9 has flat pistons and the lq4 has dished pistons. for the difference in price you should get the lq4. the lq9 has a little more compression, but i got an lq4 for $1000 and it only had 9,000 miles on it.
