Default Wrapped up lq4!

Well me and a few good friends did the install of a 6.0 lq4 today in my truck! From start to finish(eating dinner/breakfast, chasing tools, getting gasket) it took us a total of 7 hours and a few minutes....even tuned!
The motor is a lq4 6.0 with ls6 cam and yellow springs!


This is the pulling of the 42,000 mile 5.3 for the 26k 6.0


Out with the old and in with the new!


And now the aftermath of just a lil bit more power!!

Hopefully you got rid of the those garbage manifolds. These 6.0 pick up huge with headers.
