I'm Awesome
Well I think doing the LQ4/LQ9 swap is better than a built 350 that is carbbed. I have been reading a lot of threads on this forum and ls1tech and other sites. I still have a couple questions though. I will be putting this into my 1998 chevy ECSB.
Engine Questions:
1. Which engine is better LQ4 or LQ9 for a fast street car that will be towing stuff sometimes?
2. Is there a certain year engine I should be looking for?
3. How much hp/torque am I looking at if I put a set of headers and a cam in it?
4. What MPG am I looking at with this motor?
5. What brand headers should I use?
6. I have read about stand a lone wiring harnesses, what is the benefit of using them?
7. Is there anybody in Florida that can tune my motor like MJE does?
8. People say they swap to a TBSS 6.0 intake, what is the benefit of this?
Transmission Questions:
9. Will a 4l60E handle 450 hp from the motor?
10. Or will a 4l80E be the way to go?
Other Questions:
11. People say you have to change the fuel pump out to a vortec style pump from a later year truck. Is it a drop in pump, or what is the difference?
12. Will my AC bolt right up to this unit or what would I need to do?
13. Are the dirty dingo motor mounts the way to go?
14. Is my truck right now, Drive by wire?
