SynopsisIntroduced in 1997, the GM LS engine has become the dominant V-8 engine in GM vehicles and a top-selling high-performance crate engine. GM has released a wide range of Gen III and IV LS engines that deliver spectacular efficiency and performance. These compact, lightweight, cutting-edge pushrod V-8 engines have become affordable and readily obtainable from a variety of sources. In the process, the LS engine has become the most popular V-8 engine to swap into many American and foreign muscle cars, sports cars, trucks, and passenger cars. To select the best engine for an LS engine swap, you need to carefully consider the application. Veteran author and LS engine swap master Jefferson Bryant reveals all the criteria to consider when choosing an LS engine for a swap project. You are guided through selecting or fabricating motor mounts for the project. Positioning the LS engine in the engine compartment and packaging its equipment is a crucial part of the swap process, which is comprehensively covered. As part of the installation, you need to choose a transmission crossmember that fits the engine and vehicle as well as selecting an oil pan that has the correct profile for the crossmember with adequate ground clearance. Often the brake booster, steering shaft, accessory pulleys, and the exhaust system present clearance challenges, so this book offers you the best options and solutions. In addition, adapting the computer-control system to the wiring harness and vehicle is a crucial aspect for completing the installation, which is thoroughly detailed. As an all-new edition of the original top-selling title, LS Swaps: How to Swap GM LS Engines into Almost Anything covers the right way to do a spectrum of swaps. So, pick up this guide, select your ride, and get started on your next exciting project., Introduced in 1997, the GM LS engine has become the dominant V-8 engine in GM vehicles and a top-selling high-performance crate engine.

    LS Swap Details

    Very well written and illustrated book. Excellent details about the covered subject. Good examples of the process and applications in various vehicles. Although product names and sources were listed, it would have been quite informative had (current) component & system pricing been included.

  • Top critical review

    Great reference guide

    the "Updated Edition" is still out of date. i should have realized that before i purchased it. What drew me in was the C2 Corvette on the cover as that is what i am working on and expected to be more in depth. It did have some information but not anymore that couldn't be found on the net. It is still a great reference guide.

  • Useless

    This book could not be anymore usless ... its a lot of color pics of someone doing there own project .... no wiring diagrams or hardly anything on the harnesses, no part numbers or where to get stock parts to fit let alone aftermarket parts. Don't waste your time or money. you will get more info on the LS blogs
