well if I am going to do it once I would rather wait and save more money and go with a 6.0 and have more power than I know what to do with it.
as for trans I would like to go with a TH400 w/ a manual valvebody

why not go 5.3?

6.0=more power

8.1?
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
touche salesman, touche...
why not go with the LQ4 for half the price and 20 less hp, it can easily be made up with a cam swap and car intake, or even the 5.3 with an LS6 cam and car intake ill make a good 350hp and can be done for under $1000. Also remember the TH400 requires a spacer or custom TC to work with an LS motor.

yeah after some more research I will probably go with the LQ4 and spend the money on a cam and intake.
still need to do more research

looks like you just need a spacer

looks like an lq4 w/ cam and headers should make 450 hp w/ a good tune and spin 6000 rpm

but it's a vortec, flem!

that will take a set of L92 heads as well. From all the build ups ive read, L92 heads, ls6 hot cam or equvalent, car intake and a proper tune should make between 460-500 depending on cam. The only difference between in the LQ4 and the LQ9 are forged pistons and less then a point of compression. The only issue i see with those motors are how fast they rev and requiring 2500 to 2800 stall

Not half, not some, but all my cash...
'Cause if she don't,
I'm gonna put my foot in her ass.
i have never seen that they had forged pistons? u sure? just about zero oem motors come with forged pistons due to the loose cold piston/bore requirements. much less a motor that has had wicked bad piston slap issues in the past
All of the vortec rods I have seen at the shop have been powdered metal fwiw
i might be wrong, but i thought one difference is that one of them has forged something, maybe it is the crank. Either way for a mild build up the LQ4 is more than stout enough to handle the power he is looking for.
