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.

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???
