requirements to install a 2005 6.0 into an f body

**maxwax** · 05-27-2009, 06:11 PM

I found a 2005 lQ9 with 29 k miles for $900.00 how much work is required to replace my LS 1 with this engine ,such as reluctor wheel,cam sensor,front accessory holes in the block front cover, etc.
is it even worth the extra work to install it over an ls1.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it should bolt right in. Did you get anymore info on the fools who fked up the car?

My ATTY advised me that it would be useless to take him to small claims court due to the fact that I would have to get him served in Carroll county and the system is so corrupt that the chief magistrate would rule in the commissioners favor, but I however came up with a great retaliation . I have a friend that owns a taxidermy shop and he is going to hate me 10 gal of expanding foam so when I pour it into the interior of his beemer, it will expand to the equivalent of a 10x10 room, it will destroy his car from the inside out.

And delete your above post since it may come back as evidence when he can't get in his car.

And as for the 6.0L block...it basicly drops right in. Use your heads (if not messed up) and intake though. Probably want the LS1 cam in there as well.
Although, if you have the motor out....cam it.

Of course, this is assuming you have the stock cam....

Yea.... your gonna wanna delete that post. Not a good idea.

The engine will drop right in pretty much. If its out and on a stand... do yourself a favor and put some ARP rod bolts and a cam in it.

Honestly I would want to get ALL of the posts below your first post deleted. Including this one as well. Ill post this for now but a certain car person locally who screwed a person i know and they got their dam BLEW out to their lake...

Hire someone to jack his SSN and drivers license number. $172, 652. 49 cents in mods sounds good!

what about the reluctor 42tooth vs the 52 tooth how do I get around that
and the cam sensor position sensor.

I think you mean, 24 tooth vs 58 tooth... and there is an adaptor for that... I believe Lingenfelter sells one. Cam sensor is going to need the extensions.

I wouldve just crammed the 6.0 in. they have the 317 head that is the same as a 243 pretty much, use your oil pan, accessories and intake and stick a used 224 in the thing. it'd haul ass.
