That's a LQ4, there's really not much a difference between a LQ4 and an LQ9. just change the heads and your the same as the LQ9 and the silverado SS runs a LQ4 if you were wondering.
LQ4 block - 400$
Rotating assembly - 2300$
LS6 heads- 300$
Comp Camp Wsprings/pushrods - 900$
then all the bolt on ****, headers, intake, intake manifold, 90mm TB, big *** MAF, injectors and the tune <-- this was all about $2000 but i had things like the LS6 manifold, 90mm TB and MAF laying around. The tune was like 1000$ after everything was said and done, and the headers were edlebrock i picked up for like 400$ from summit.

500hp?! didn't you read that other post where this guy selling a 944 says slap a $186.00 ebay turbo and i/c and have 600hp! Why waste your time with a measly 500hp?
BTW Not knocking a v8 swap. I am no stranger to walking the path less traveled.
I also know from experience that $5k won't get you a properly finished/detailed/reliable car once complete. 500hp will destroy most any stock or near stock parts. Once $5k is spent on the driveline, expect another $10k on all the stuff that will break or need upgrading after some fun driving sessions. (Not trying to be a downer, but I'd hate for some newbie to read this and think he could just drop a few grand and be whooping on Lambo's all day long.) As a general rule, if you think you can do it for X$, multiply it by 2 or 3 times or even more if you plan on paying someone to do the work.
