How you guys doing im new on this forum so i have a ? for you guys.
it is worth to make the swap from 6.0 (lq9) to a 6.2 (l92) or is better to throw a cam, stall, injector, etc. in my 6.0
if is worth it what do I need to make the swap workable?
thanks for your help.

 

What are your power goals? How much are you wanting to spend? What is your current setup? What vehicle do you have? What are your future plans if any?

If you can answer some of these questions for us we can help you out.

Unless the 6.2 was modified I cant imagine it would be worth the time and effort to do the swap.

 

i would total swap to 6.2 more displacement and its a aluminum block its a better swap all the way around.

 

My power goals are 600 650 awdhp, im running tbss intake, 90mm tb, lt's headers, no cats, shift kit, vette servo, e-fans, 160 t-stat, and is a 03 silverado ss

 

my bad i want 450 to 500 awdhp

 

i would stick with the 6.0 you can always make a 408 out of it latter and reuse all your parts.

 

Hard to justify an engine swap for only 0.2l, or 10 cubic inches, that's only 1 1/4" per cylinder. Sure the block is lighter, but we are talking a truck here, plus iron block does better under boost. Unless talking LSA or LS9 blocks.

Maybe if you got a killer deal on an LS3/L92.

No. Just mod the LQ9.

 

i would do a 6.2 top end, so L92 heads and intake. Swap a cam in as well it'll be a torque monster

 

No replacement for displacement.
