lq9 questions
with college and no steady job, time has become a serious issue now, so i dont want the added time with a big block swap in my car...for now atleast...so i'm back to the basic ls1 or lq9 swap idea. within the next 3 months i will have the swap ready...i dont want an ls1 because every (factory) 98-02 fbody v8 has one. my questions about the lq9 are 1)would it bolt up to a t56 fbody tranny? 2)what motor mounts and k member would i use? would an ls1 k member and mounts work or will the ones from the truck work? 3) oil pan, would an fbody oil pan swap over? 4) intake, would swapping an ls6 intake work to make it fit under the hood? 5) wiring and computer, would the trucks wiring work or would an ls1 wiring harness work with that, or would i need a custom one? 6) the computer, with wanting a 6 speed transmission, would the ls1 computer work if it was tuned for the 6.0? 7) what if any of the accessories would have to be relocated that anyone knows of? 8) any other things i should know or be aware of with the lq9 swap? sorry for the long post, but any help is appreciated!

LS1 computer can easily be tuned for use with the 6.0 LQ9. Quote:

LS1 block is about 80 pounds lighter. Makes a decent difference. I kept my A/C off because of that. The LQ9 block is basicly an iron LS1/LS2. Some sensor locations are different though between the LS1 and LS2 though. I also say that pretty loosely.

1)radiator, will the stock ls1 radiator work? 2)springs, will they need upgraded from the stock ls1's? since the engine is heavier than an ls1. 3)fuel pump, will an ls1 fuel pump work or will i need a better one? i'm sure i'll come up with more, but those will work for now
