Default lq4 for 600 bucks?

I just seen one on ebay and its only a little bit more money than the lts/ory combo.(not including install) would it be smart to get one now? or save it for last? since im not going FI should i wait and save for the lq9?

if its a longblock, ****** that up before someone else does, because it will go fast.

the LQ9 will be a little better with the little better compression, but for that price id get the LQ4. sure it will make more power with all the boltons but when good deals come along...

doesn't say if it is a longblock. it just says used iron block fully machined. really it doesnt say much at all about it.

I would buy a new LQ9 block from Scoggin Dicky for $695 before buying an altered block, simply because there isn't much rebuild room for future boring on these engines.

That block is standard bore. The auction doesn't specify what they call "fully machined"
