The LQ4 swap? He bought me lunch i think??

 

Ha well the motor was the most expensive but you can get a 6.0 lq4 for about 2g's down here with fair miles! As far as the swap goes ummm that is on my tab with nonnie and a few other friends who are smarter than I am! it was mostly plug and play other than the tune and some gaskets for the water pump and oil! I can't wait for the track to see what kinda times i have!
I went from a 60 punch tonight with a 07 tbss with a tune magnaflow exhaust, and cia!
I pulled him a half a car and he started comming back up after i shifted into third at 5600 rpm! But that is nonnies fault haha! it dies in third cause i got a ton of power left over! but we didnt get to go from a stop or 30 but it seems pretty close!

 

looks good mang.... shoulda done headers while it was out though


I coulda gotten you alot better deal on a motor... I can get lq4 with decent milage for like 1-1500$

 

That is not what i paid that is on average what people sell them for here! I paid a lot less than you could have scored me one for though! It was just for example cause someone asked about what it would cost to do the swap! I did the swap with everything less than i could have bought a motor for! But thanks for looking out i might have some friends that are intrested in doing the swap ill send them your way to buy their motors!

 

yeah bud...I was hoping you didnt spend that much

 

Nice job!!!

I don't know how much Nonnie's told you about mine but we need to run 'em ill be coming that way sooner or later I'm sure

 

Sure we can run winner gets 100 bucks! oh can i drive your truck? haha, yea man come hang with us we can play and i can take my whoopin like a man!

 

i paid $2k for my LQ4.. haha i was in a pinch... but it didnt have many miles on it.

 

I spent $1900 on the LQ9 swap. $1200 for the motor and 700 for the install.

 

My LQ9 falls on it's f'n face after the 2-3 shift. I have 3.42 gears and from a 50-60 punch or so up until the shift at around 95mph, it pulls like an animal. I think Charlie has my shift point around 55-5600. It just falls on it's face around 38-3900 in 3rd
