ls1 vs. lq4

[will_oh]

well iwent down to my local salvage yard and got some prices, and for the same price i can get a '02 f-body ls1 with 89k or a '04 2500 lq4 with 54k. what should i be saving money for?

LS1 would have higher compression and be about 100 pounds lighter! So i would go LS1 if it were me.

Maybe you can look around a bit more for a lower mileage LS1? Is it just me or does $3,200 seem a bit high?

LQ4, not only for the extra displacement, but the iron block that can be bored and stroked if you ever desire.

I would do the LS1, but you can't go wrong with either one. Go here it is just down the road from you in Adkins. High Perfomance Salvage, inc.

I go with the lq4 for the stronger block, bore stroke options, also it has big enough bores to accept l92 top end if you want, I got mine with 48000 mi and a 4l80e , harness, computer, and all accessories for 1900 shipped to a local drop off, it came from aaa truck and van parts in ft worth texas.. even though the heads on the ls1 give more compression the top end on the truck is better all around.

for $3500 I got a 70k mile 5.7 LS1 and T56, PCM, harness.

Got my lq4 for 1450$. I say get an lq4 but shop around some and try to find a better deal, the things are everywhere and you should be able to find what you want for half the price.

LQ4 no replacement for displacement
