Thank You...That is what it was out of. I believe they made an alum block 5.3L for the vmax also, not sure about the heads the used on it.

i will let yall know when i go get it......:rock:
What all is involved in making this thing low compression? Just heads and pistons? Looking for a motor to build and this one seems like a good deal!
I'll take a Bud Light for the finders fee:beer2::D...I hope it works out and yes let me know when you get it.
I think the compression is around 10.3 to 1. CNC port the L92 heads to 75cc chambers and that should put you in the upper 9 to 1 CR.
i got the alum one..... picking it up on monday.. they still have a cast iron one for the same price.... if anyone wants it
I don't care what you say, but there has never been--and never will be an Aluminum 6.0L with am RPO of "LQ9."
The all aluminum 5.3L you speak of is the L33. It was used in the 03 SSR and ex cab 4WD trucks. It is considered the 5.3L HO. There was also another type of aluminum 5.3L, called the LM4. Its output was the same as the LM7, and it was found in the extended length versions of the Envoy and Trailblazer.
Do you see a pattern? Even though the LM4 is dimensionally the same, has the same output, and has the same parts as the LM7, GM had to change the RPO on the motor solely because of the aluminum block.
So, with that said, there is no RPO for an aluminum block LQ9. The motor you guys are talking about is the L76--like I said before. This motor is the Gen IV version of the Gen III LQ9.
And I win...as usual. Jurt, Ricky...you both have just been PWNED!!!!!!
