Before any hate comments, I went through 4 built 351 Cleveland's over the years and I just wanted something reliable with fuel injection.

I would've loved a FGT motor but that's way out of my price range, and I couldn't pass up on a deal for a low mileage LQ9 and so the swap began, probably the easiest LS swap in a non LS car actually lol.

If anyone is going to FL2K14 I'll be there with it so check it out!

Specs-

'06 LQ9 6.0 completely stock bottom end

Texas Speed Tsunami Cam

PRC dual valve springs

PRC titanium retainers

PRC hardened pushrods

Professional Products Polished LS6 style typhoon intake

Stock 317 cathedral port heads

Corvette water pump and alternator

Full custom exhaust

Stock CTS-V injectors from a '09 V

Custom made wiring harness

90mm DBW TB

90mm MAF

STOCK ZF Transaxle

LS7 style clutch

1000hp Axles

Car was tuned by Jeremy Formato of fasterproms in Tampa, FL and made mid 400's at the wheels.

Car weighs just under 3,000lbs with me in it. I'm hoping for a mid 11 sec pass, this is by no means a drag car, just a nicely built cruiser that can stretch it's legs every now and then.

Should of just added EFI to the 351C thats what I did.

Except the last 351c I pulled out of it had 3 spun bearings and the cost of a rebuild and converting to EFI would've been double than what this swap cost me.

It'll be going turbo after winter anyways, I've got a custom hot side kit already made. I've got way more potential with the LS than the Cleveland ever had, and if it pops I won't have to kill myself trying to hunt down another clever that doesn't cost an arm and a leg lol

Sounds GREAT!

I still would have gone with a fuel injected Windsor before using a Chevy motor. But, your car sure sounds healthy, so enjoy that monster!
