Question: is a lq9 a ls motor?
Answer: The LQ9 is a 6.0L Gen. 3 small block engine used in GM trucks between 2002 and 2007. ... Mechanically similar, General Motors' LS and LS-based Vortec engines wound up on almost every branch of the GM family tree: Chevy, Pontiac, GMC, Cadillac, Buick—heck, even Saab, Hummer, and Isuzu got some LS love.
