LX9 been produced from 2004 to 2007 so if yours is coming out of a 2008 it should be a LZ4 with VVT
What i don't understand is why go true all the cost of buying the engine doing the swap & re-use the same heads? (that you're gona fix anyways?)
I mean would easier & probably cheaper to just fix/change the valve seals
Last thing did you see the engine running before you bought it?
Or least see the car that was coming from the see if the mileage is the real deal?
There is no way i would buy a engine from the scarp yard if i didn't see it running first , no way! in hell i would , even with a 3 months on used engine , imagine put the engine in & find out that you got to take out to get exchange for another one , what a waste of time
Just saying...

Got mine from a junkyard with 25k on it....runs PERFECT. Nothing wrong with getting them from there. Good luck with the swap....take your time and make sure you did everything right.

Good luck with that....i thought it would only take us a weekend too....ended up taking 3 weeks....but thats cause we could only work on it 3 days a week....and we both are VERY meticulous....plus we ran into a few snags.

better designed engine, better cylinder heads better intake, more power.
i had to reorder the crank trigger kit through milzys, i went through mpracing, tried to call them for 2 days with no response to email or voice mails, so i canceled that order and went with milzys i hope to get the parts before sat but if not it will happen next weekend

is there a sticky somewhere for this (maybe on one of the GAGT sites)?
may wanna look into this, if it can be concealed as a 3.4L - and improves brake specific fuel consumption
