I did an LQ9 6.0 swap from a slightly cammed and fuel injected 350 with 60909 Edelbrock heads. The Edelbrock EZ Street fuel injection was a nightmare and never ran right...so no good example to compare performance from.....but the swap did produce a very smooth running truck with plenty of power from a rock-solid stock engine....(and a $4k paperweight unless I can sell the heads and cam\intake)

I paid about $2.5k for the swap with all the necessary hardware and tune, and $1800 for the motor with 74k on the clock
