well i decided to sell all my modular stuff and now i have a 6.0 longblock sitting in my shop waiting for me to build to drop in (LSX). with close to the same combo i'm putting together a guy on ls1tech ran consistent 10.4s all motor in a heavy catfish. i will probably run a th400 for simplicitys sake but would like to run a t56. also need to put together a rear axle, 4.10s or 4.30s, 31 splines, spool, c-clip elims, girdle, welded tubes and probably bracing. and suprisingly this will still be a street car. let the bashing begin.

iron block lq4 6.0 gonna shave the heads to bump the compression, arp rod bolts, thinner headgaskets, decent sized cam, edelbrock single plane manifold, holley 750 dp, longtubes with x pipe, probably a plate system as well. gonna run my stock k member for now until i can get an upgrade.

You can make the stock k member work pretty easy. The guy I know just made a bracket and it works fine. Also, I think he used an ls1 intake manifold because the lq4 intake manifold was designed for drive by wire throttle.
Here's a couple pics of his setup before it was complete

heard HORRIBLE things about edelbrock intakes for lsx cars.... FAST intake or go home.... heard those edelbrocks heat soak like a ****... if you cant afford a FAST, get a ls6 to hold you over until you can...

maybe your thinkin of the fuel injected manifolds? i'll be running a carbureted one shouldn't have any problems with heat soak.
