LQ9 under way
well i got home from work to see that my 6.0L was waiting for me. so before the storm hit i rushed to get the motor off the pallet and onto the engine stand.
after i got that done i stripped the wiring harness off the motor. took off the intake manifold and pulled the starter.
not much progress today but should be able to get the rest of the parts off tomorrow
ill have more pics up to keep you guys posted on the swap.
i also got my fast 90 in!

Are you running it with the stock heads and cam? How do they do with the ls1 style intake manifold? i know they are rated at 345hp/380 ft lbs with the truck gear. Should be a good boost in power overall

yea im running the stock 317 heads and the stock cam in the motor. it should be a decent power increase over the stock ls1. and ill be adding the fast intake to it along with some longtubes and maybe even an underdrive pulley.(not sure on the pulley yet)
but i couldnt pass on the deal that i got on the complete lq9

hey good luck man with your build.... can i ask though what the advantages to an iron block would be from the ls aluminum block... arent you adding alot of weight to the front... are you going to run LT1 springs to counter act the iron block.... just curiouse.... im an lt1 guy and dont know crap about ls's and lq's and what ever else they are callen them these days...

little update to end the day.
got the rad/fan out of the car, and removed the what appears to be an aftermarket aluminum driveshaft. looks like a gm number but didnt come up on gmparts direct. (Three Rivers 12560725)
started bolting parts to the 6.0 so i dont misplace anything lol and placed the fast on top to get an idea.
also spent a good amount of time cleaning up the LQ9 to make it look a little nicer

Thats a stock driveshaft. They all used Three rivers but have 3 different numbers 98-99 had a parts number that was discontinued but its the same shaft.

well i got a little more done today. probably the last time ill get a chance to touch the z before i leave for myrtle beach.
got the passanger exhaust manifold off. swapped valve covers to the new motor. pulled the p/s pump off and swapped the p/s bracket and alternator, and sensors to the new motor. looks like all thats left is just to drop the trans down and pull the broke ass ls1 out of there.
