i was thinking about building a 408 but not sure yet.
I might just drop in the LQ9 and get a H/C package.

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.

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.
