Way too expensive of a swap.

Going to a Radix style with a 6.0L will pretty much be about as low maintenance as you have currently and if you put a decent trans behind it you should be as trouble free as 500hp can be. Turbo's are very nice but are often alot of work.

 

I've heard that a LQ4 6.0L would be better with boost. The compression ratio in the LQ4 is apparently different then a LQ9? I'm a noob when it comes to engines and internals, could someone please explain why it is better? and what else is different with these two engines.

Another question about the trans,
How are the rebuilt ones compared to a new ones?
If I was to get the 4L80e rebuilt, about how much will it run me?

Thanks again for you help guys

 

nice truck bro.... lose the V-Rod IMO , its a porsche with harley's name on it... although it does look pretty sick matchin the truck

times X1,000,000 on the 6.0+RADIX+4L80E

 

You're crazy, that is the most badass V-twin I've ever ridden. Why is it bad that the engine was designed by Porsche? In any case it's a plus, Germans know what the hell they are talking about when it comes to engineering. It is tons better than any of those air-cooled monsters!

 

The higher compression of the LQ9 will allow you to make make the same power with less boost. Less boost = less heat

 

Turbo or supercharger you will want a built tranny, preferably 4l80e. enless you like doing tranny swaps
