Default Picked up my LQ4, first part to my build

Ive been trying to find a deal on a lq4 for awhile now and finally found one... found it on craigslist for 600 bucks so i went and picked it up yesterday... paid 440 bucks and gave him a set of gently used rims and tires that i got for free so im going to say that it was the steal of the century. This will be the first of many parts to this build thread

i am going to be selling parts off my lq4 because i am going to be putting ls3 heads and intake on it and boring the block .030 over and my question is does anyone know of pistons that will work without flycutting? im looking to get about 10.5:1 compression.... planning on using the stock crank with compstar rods

if youre gonna bore, just get you some minimal dish aftermarket pistons with valve reliefs already to avoid any ptv issues, mill heads .030 and youll be set. stock rods will do unless youre set on spending big bucks.

if you need an l92 truck intake, i got one with fuel rails and injectors and might even have a tb to go with it. outflows ls3 intake easily and it is like new. if interested, pm me or call/text me...rob (956) 802-7700
