even if it was an LQ9 though it's the same thing as an LS2. Well the shortblock anyways. It's basically an ironblock LS2. Throw a set of 243 (LS6 style) heads on there and you have the SAME exact motor. Matched with a decent size cam and full bolt ons with a badass tune your talking about 450hp to the wheels.
yeah just a different name just like the new L92 is a LS3
