Dang, I went over 1,000 posts and wasn't even prepared for it........whew! I barely even felt it!

Shush is right behind you and we all are feeling it ; )
 
Two in the Little Rock paper today. I know nothing about them but might be worth checking out...

97 Lexus LX450, 185k miles, $5,900 - 501-346-9673

95 FZJ80, 179k miles, $5,950 - 501-723-4386
 
5.3 is the motor I was telling you guys about last night that are so cheap and easy to swap. Very, good motor. It won't win any races but it is a great motor. 300HP in stock form. All the 1/2 ton Chevy's have them unless they have the HD packages.

Marco (Rover67, used to live in Memphis) put one of those in his 60 with an H55. The thing ran strong. It was hard to get back in my truck for the drive home. Definitely on my wish list.
 
I had a 6.0 LQ4 in my last Twisted Customs buggy. I got it for $1200 with 24,000 miles on it.

I have the computer flashed and the harness done with headers and free flow air box this motor was 390HP and ran perfect.

It is a little "tall" top to bottom than an LS-1/2/3 and an LSX (5.3) as the intake is very tall and the oil pan is deep. I am sure it is not as tall as the stock straight 6 but I have not measured.

The oil pan is an easy, easy swap for an LS pan which gets you some room and if you must, you can put an LS intake on it. My thought is if you have to go to the problem of swapping the intake you are getting into LS2 costs at acquisition. The LQ4 is Iron Block and aluminum heads.

Step up to an LS-2 and you get 6.0 liters with aluminum block and heads. Those generally cost $1000-1500 more than Iron block motors. The price to weight advantage would not be worth the $$ in my opinion on an 80 series swap.

Damn it son!
You must of cut and pasted that off one of Pat's Pirate threads.:D
 
Yeah and the real sweet part is to back it behind a 4l60e 2wd and toybox to splitcase and no marks adapters needed and you got stupid low for about $800 more than marks.
