i just picked up a 6.0 L LQ9 from a 2005 Escalade. I plan on doing a turbo motor with a 4l80e behind it which I just acquired yesterday as well.
I thought I remember reading somewhere that the factory 160amp alternator interferes with the stock gbody hood on an LQ9. Can anyone verify this?
I think I might have also read that the smaller stock alternator clears the hood because the alternator housing is smaller. What amp alternator is this? I bought my motor from the junkyard so if I need to I want to go and swap out this 160amp alt for a smaller one and anything else that will make installation go more smooth.
I’m not running an a/c compressor. Is there anything else that interferes with anything else on our cars? Thanks
