One other small question...

In researching I found that the LQ4 is based off of the 5.3 block. Would it be possible to bore out the 5.3 from 3.779" to 4", put yourself some flat-top pistons in it and basically have an LQ9?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for thread jacking...

Compression via different pistons. They also have different rods- and, of course, programming.

5.3 and 6.0 blocks are different. 5.3 and 4.8 are the same...
