Yes, that is correct.. 99-later 00 had them..

 

Sucks gettin old dont it

 

does. forgot all about those early models

 

im pretty sure the iron heads wouldnt make the swap any more difficult... just heavier.... the crank on the other hand.. prob...... i wonder if you could just shave it down?? and maybe a rethread

 

the crank that is

 

the only reason he mentioned the heads is because the ones with iron heads are the ones with a longer crank. There's a few threads on what to do to make it work but I don't wana look for them right now.

 

So any certain year lq4 i should look for? May just buy a block and start from scratch. Truck has a procharger right now and I want to keep that on as well. I can just have the ecu tuned for the larger engine and injectors once those are installed as well. So i need a flywheel from a 4.8 ???

 

any flexplate will work with a normal lq4. Id just look for a lq4 and not piece one together..

 

Yah, find a complete one and go with it.. Pref a 05 or later as it has the LS2 internals and is a bit stronger then the older years, not that they are not capable of holding or making hp.. A 4.8- 5.3 flex plate will work...

 

i wouldnt even worry about swapping in a 6.0 with iron heads lol
