Engine differences

Post by RaceRunner »

From what I understand:

The 6L LQ9 cast iron 6 bolt block is rated to 345 Hp at 5200 Rpm, 380Ib of torque at 4000 Rpm with max Rpm of 5600. GM Part No:191562262.

The 6.0L LS2 cast aluminium 6 bolt block is rated to 400 Hp at 6000 Rpm, and 400 Ib torque at 4400 Rpm with max Rpm of 6000. Gm Part No:19156261.

The 6.0L L98 cast aluminum 6 bolt block is rated to 440 Hp at 6200 Rpm, and 404Ib of torque at 5000 Rpm with max Rpm of 6000. Gm Part No:17802134.

You may also want to log onto the GM Performance website: http://www.gmperformanceparts.com/home.jsp and type in the part numbers I gave you which will assist you with your querie.

The local Holden dealer here is selling new 6 Lt crate motors for $6600 excluding the starter, computer, loom and alt.
Is that good

Crate engines

Post by RaceRunner »

That price sounds good, however you need to allow for all of the accessories to go onto the engine, you'll soon be up for at least an extra several thousand $$$$ if you incorporate the original ecu, wiring harness etc. I have installed a new Gen IV 550 Hp LS7 into my GU Patrol and I know how much F***king aroung there is.

You can quite easily source all the components you need, recommended to use new stuff, however you'll need to combine a decent auto transmission with your chosen V8. There's another 3 to 5,000 $$$$ already, and not to mention engine mounts and engineering. OOHHH its reminding me of my finished project (thank god its over)!!

Good luck with your project.

Cheers,
