The cam i dont know,what ever will work with the radix.
Might try to find a 4L80 somewere around here.
I think I found a good deal on a 6.0,but whats the differance
between the LQ9 and LQ4?
All of this will have to wait till after Uncle Sam reams me out.


thanks, scott
Are you planning to stroke it? If so, Eagle is coming out with some nice inexpensive kits here soon.

If not, the stock crank is made of steel...not gonna break. Good to 700rwhp easy. The stock rods could be reused if they are balanced, resized, and fitted w/ ARP bolt. But a good set of H-beams are cheap insurance.

4L80E's have been produced since the early 1990s...1991 is when exactly. There have been revisions. 91-96; 97-98; 99+ Obviously the 99+ is going to be better...valve body, manual band, etc. It is more desireable but will cost probably a tad more.

LQ4 is the LO version; LQ9 is the HO version.
