Incorrect. It is an ls motor. The 4.8, 5.3, LQ4 (low compression 6.0) LQ9 (higher compression LQ4), LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7, and even the 6 bolt block LSx Gmpp motors are ALL ls based engines

More or less true, except iron vs aluminum block. I don't remember the article, but some mag took a bone stock lq9 and fi of some sort and the motor held up fine until like 1000+ hp.
sr20 sentra?mod motor cheaper than LS? ...until you do a cam swap.
who wants to race Lemons? we were registered for last year's MSR-Houston race until it got changed to the actual 24hr race.
From what I understand, the community there has completely changed.
Hmm, good info... Not interested in joining another forum, so the education here is much appreciated. I still say a Q doesn't look like an S, lol...It is ALL true, iron or aluminum block doesn't matter. Those were just the basic designations of a few motors. I could go into extreme detail, but decided against it. And the article you are referring to used an LQ4, a lower compression 6.0 iron block, because it responds to boost a whole lot better.
sr20 sentra?
LS is a design and nickname for the Gen 3 GM small block.
yup. the first LS engine was the LS1 which debuted in the C5 Corvette in '97. All V8 gas Chevy engines to date, except the new LT1 in the C7, are LS-based. The ONLY non-LS gasser Chevy V8 in the past decade or so would be the Vortec 8100 which is based off the old BBC (pre-LS).
whether it's an LS1, LS6, LS4, LS2, LS3, or LQ4, LQ9, L92, etc., they are all considered an "LS".
Does my gmc even have a motor?
I'm sure it does. At least a starter motor and 2-4 power window motors.
Oh, almost forgot the wiper motor.
