Default lq4 block in c5
I am thinking about buying buying a LQ4 with forged components to put into my 1998 c5 automatic. Besides a few extensions for the knock and map sensors would I need anything else to drop into my car?

I don't understand why people would want to put an iron block in their C5.
Are you planning a big HP build or something like that?

around 13 psi, 2 bar, d1sc. Blower cam and 225/64 heads.

Do you have another suggestion. I was told the lq4 is the most effective cost solution for forged short block.

I retract my previous statement now. I'm not sure if HKE is still in business but they would be an awesome choice to consider.

These guys and choices are pretty awesome too.
