Default It's coming...

Why are they taking the engine out of this perfectly driveable truck and what the hell are they going to do with it?

"LQ4" ?? ...Never heard of that!...What is it exactly? Is it in the same "family" as the "LS" series motors?

LQ4
The LQ4 is referred to as the Vortec 6000 by General Motors. The engine is 366 cubic inches in displacement, with a 101.6mm bore, a 92mm stroke, a 4.0-inch bore, and a 3.622-inch stroke. The engine features 300 to 325 horsepower and 360 to 370 pound-feet of torque, depending upon the type of engine heads. (Early models were equipped with cast-iron heads.) In 2005, GM began putting the LQ9 floating wrist pin rods in the LQ4 engines, but the company utilized dished pistons instead of flat-top pistons.

Copied from the net but you get the jist. The LQ9 is a high performance version.
These blocks can handle alot of power and are a great inexpensive platform for a hot rod.
