2004 LQ9 4000 miles
ARP rod bolts
WCCH Heads
futral f-11
8.1 marine injectors
hardened pushrods
etc
vid---> http://media.putfile.com/LQ9-vid-166
the swap went alot easier than I expected.
I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it.
just make sure you label everything and take good notes
just got the part throttle tuning down yesterday
so I havent been WOT yet
but the 50% throttle feels about like the 5.3 did at full
so far I am extremely pleased to say the least
WOT tuning and
track times coming soon
special thanks to
Richard at WCCH
the guys over at AS&M
David at Futral
and Chuck atFLT
(correction...I called it flp in the vid but its now finish line transmission FLT)

Wow! That really makes me want to do the swap in my Z71! Where did you get the engine? I'm looking for an LQ4, though, to use my Radix. Just the long block? I really like the stealth of the factory wheels, and tires. Can't wait to hear/see more!

thanks,
I got it off EBay
complete pullout for 560
it was in a small garage fire and really the only thing hurt on it was the fan
everything else cleaned up with a rag
I figured It was in worse shape but I checked it all out
and was shocked
