LQ4 + 200-4R + Turbo(s) Build on a budget

Guessing that a regular 2004r converter can be used with it.

Next problem TV cable.. someone has to have an adapter for that. I guess first step is to convert to cable driven Throttle body then add the TVC contraption.

Suggestions and opinions welcomed.

The TCI 399753 works nicely for an LS engine to 200-4R adapter. It includes the proper crank extension/adapter.
I'd contact Lokar for the TV cable.

Seems that this motor has the crank sticking out the back just like the older SBCs.
So from the little bit of research i did a 2004R should work with just this http://www.speedwaymotors.com/GM-TH350-TH400-LS-Crank-Converter-Sleeve-Adapter,64394.html

You won't even need the pilot extension, as long as you have the original flexplate. You just have to re drill the OE 6.0L flexplate for the 10.75" bolt circle.

correct ,he doesnt need the extension but a bushing to center the converter would be advised

I wonder if all of the iron head hardware would bolt right in?

Might as well make this my LQ4 build thread.
This is going in my
1968 Chevelle it currently has an LC2 with a 200-4R with a 12 bolt 3.42 rear gears.
The plan is to keep the 200 (for now at least) make rear gear change (not main topic for now)
And boost the LQ4.

The engine is a 1999 LQ4 with iron heads.
first thing i want to do is change over to aluminum heads (there goes the budget) looked on ebay and found some OE 317 aluminums for real cheap just not sure at what i am looking at since i am LS ignorant.
Any info advice and suggestions are welcomed
Thanks

Thinking about starting with these as the previous linked set are rough casting and in need of a good amount of machining

Also from of my research the 317 aren't a bad choice -- decent flow and lower compression.

Actually, the 6.0L crank has the correct 1.805" ID already...so no bushing is needed. ...and since the 1999-2000 cranks are 0.400" longer than stock, it's a perfect fit.

thanks , didnt take notice of the pilot when it came apart

Neat build. My buddy has a 68 chevelle with an LQ4 and a procharger with a 6 speed behind it. Here we are

just found this on ls1tech.com
"Used our electronic shipping scale, all blocks are standard deck height with main caps in place except for Dart Billet which is raised deck:
6.0L Iron.......216#
this mofo is heavy

Heads are in

A few broken bolts -- doesn't matter heads are getting replaced anyways.
