lq9 vs 350 weight difference

[92terminator]

The LQ9 will be lighter.

are you 100% sure?? ive had people say the opposite,
im just trying to find out like that i know what new drop springs to put in there cause im gonna be replacing all the underside bushings and a-arm bushings ( cause they are squeeking) and id like to remove the coils once

the way i see it, is the 5.7L has more metal than a 6.0 would... and the lq9 has aluminum heads i think..

My 6.0 was definitly lighter than my tbi 350 that I used to have, partly due to the aluminum heads.

The heads, intake and block are all lighter than the older small blocks.

thanks guys, does anyone think my front nitro shocks could have gone bad for sitting for so many years?? is there a way to check them ??

Its not exactly a perfect test, but it kinda works. Push down on each corner (one at a time) of the truck as hard as you can, and release. If it bounces more than once or twice, you more than likely have bad shocks.
