Will an 01 LQ4 bolt up to my 4l60e? I have gotten mixed ideas whether it was 2001 or 2002 where the LQ4's mated with the 60e's. Please tell.


EDIT*** And if it does NOT fit, is there anything I can do within reason to get it to?

 

mine was supposed to be an 02 lq4 and it bolted up to mine

 

yea, i know the 2002's are definitely supposed to but somewhere i read that the 01's only did with the 80's....this motor is such a good deal i HOPE it fits.

 

My 01 lq4 IS bolted to my 00gmc 4l60e with the 00 4.8 flywheel.

 

just the 99-00 dont fit but a good indicator is the heads. if they are iron then it is an older motor and if they are aluminum then it is a newer motor and should fit. that is unless someone swaped the heads on ya. if you can look at the motor you can just look at the crank flange and see if it is flush or if it sticks out a ways, like 3/8" or so.

 

like parish said, no 99-00's go for 01+

 

If you have a 99-00 motor that's going into an 02 how do you make it fit. If there's a flange that's sticking out, can you grind it off, or is there a different fly wheel?

 

that's the best news I have heard in a long time....It's a short block so I am going off this guys word about the year but i'll look at the flange. thanks everyone

 

I didn't want to hijack the thread so I started another one
