Ok, I kinda saw it mentioned once, but want to be sure. What kind of vehicles do I need to be looking under the hood for to get a 6.0 engine? I have pull a part here, and any V8 engine is like 125 bucks or something close to that. Talk about a cheap drag motor! Thanks for the help.

You'll be looking for something like a 2000+ fullsize GM truck or van.

Easy enough. I'm pretty sure they have a few of those there. Now, as for the lq4 to lq9 engine, has anyone come up with a way to identify them without pulling the transmission yet? Would love to get my hands on a 9.

I believe the LQ9 is the high performance version that was in Escalades/Denalis/Silverado SS. You may also be able to get a 6.0 from a GTO but I'm sure they'll want an arm & a leg since it's "from a GTO".

No worries on that. This place has flat rate pricing. All the same price for a V8 engine, whether its a 350 from the 70's or if its a 2009. To them, a V8 is a V8...Thanks for the info!

Did you have any clearance issues with the power steering pump and gear box? What was the solution! I am doing a LQ9 swap and the pulley is hitting the steering box???

no i didn't, u running a manual box? a manual style s-10 box wouldn't clear on my car, the stock power steering one did though so I went back with it....

So did you set it back 1"
