WHICH LS ENGINE TO CHOOSE FOR YOUR SWAP!

In this video I do my best to give you a general idea of which route to go for your LS swaps engine.

There are many more technical factors as to each engine when you talk about internals but this video is not that specific. So, if you have any questions for that it's best to ask google.

Hope this video helps!

I knew this was getting serious when the glasses are on. Dude this is gold.

Tire Kickers and Time Wasters will ruin your business. I would charge them a $100 consultation fee for 60 minutes of your life. If they want less then it’s $2 a minute. You would be amazed how direct people will get when they know the clock is running like a Taxi meter! If they actually go through with the swap with you then that money is applied to their balance. If they aren’t willing to part with $100 (or less) to save themselves $1000’s in headaches then it’s a waste of your time.

Gen IV is the way to There are plenty of 4.8, 6.0 and 6.2 that dont have the DOD and no VVT. Just change the single bolt cam out for the 3 bolt cam and always of course install ls7 lifters. Plus the MAF sensors are better design on gen IVs.

Gen 5 L8T with a ported injection conversion and a gen4 ecu will get you basically a 400 cubic inch LS/LT hybrid with no DOD to deal with. It is a 6.6 liter iron block and ready for boost. You can run holly terminator x with this setup.

I appreciate the hell out of this video.good job dude

I am working on my first swap. Ls3/4L80. 03' Crown Vic Police Interceptor. The only reason i am doing a Gen4 is a found a Ls3 block for $500 and I already have crank and Gen4 rods and pretty much everything else. I just need to pickup a set of square ports as soon as i get the money. My block is in the machine shop right now.

Doing my 1st LS swap, 74 Nova. Think I have a great base for my N/A build. 05 LQ9, gen 4 rods and floating flat top piston. Going BTR stage 4 cam, Victor Jr intake, ATM 750 E85 carb with 799 heads. Thinking it will pull a little better than the stock LM1-155hp 350.😂

[intheshoptv]

There are quite a few GEN 4 engines that dont have AFM/DOD that make good power stock.

01 and 02 Denali 6.0 came drive by wire, possibly the Caddys also. Only the top models in 01 and 02.

I'm sorry I didn't hear a word you said. I'm going to have to start over and watch the whole video again. I couldn't get over the sexy glasses. I may need a minute to myself before I watch this again.

I have a 2003 6.0/4L80 with 72, 000 miles on them, came out of a box truck and it’s still DBC, I kept the ecu from it, I am looking to put it in my 1971 Oldsmobile delta 88, until I came across your videos I thought my only option was the Holley terminator, now you say buy a cheap harness, is that all I need to make the engine and trans work with its original ecu, or do I have to buy an ecu with VATS delete? I fully intend (now that I’ve learned from your videos) to run it exactly like you are in your car, any information would be great, I want to do my swap asap so I need to know exactly what I need to make it work on the electronic side of things, mounts and all that I can figure out myself, best and easiest fuel pump recommendations as well? Thank you in advance, I’m new to this, it will be my first LS swap ever

I have a 2015 camaro SS, 6.2 liter, Manuel 6 speed this is my first Chevy and I love it, but which motor would I need to put it in, It’s not running rn I have no clue what’s wrong but if I wanted to swap it with the same motor which one would it be

This is a different way of trying to explain GM V8 engines but can be pretty confusing the LSs are aluminum performance blocks LS1, 2, 4, 6, 3, 7, 9. 1997-2017 then Vortec engines (mostly cast iron blocks LR4, L33, LM4, LM7, LQ4, LQ9 made at the same time but for mostly trucks SUVs now the LT engines are all Direct injection and the next line of High performance engines for GM LT1, LT4, LT5, LT2, and the LT6 which is DOHC and Flat plane crank so it will be completely different form GMs typical engines. Also along with the LT was 5.3 and 6.2 ecotec with active fuel management and Direct injection

Temple? Dude... my Mom, Sister, and Bro-in-Law live there. So did I before I joined the Army in 07. Lots of memories from that town. It's growing so big, and I don't even recognize some of it now.

[charger]

Thanks for all the great info. I’m new to this ls stuff. My 14 yo son picked up a 2001 Camaro and we want to put in a 6.0 with a 4l80.I’m currently looking for a drive by cable 6.0 from a 2wd 2500 or 3500. I planned on trying to find a whole truck so I can scavenge the motor, trans, harness and ECU. Does this sound right?? What would you suggest. Thanks again man! Tons of great info for the newbie like myself.

[phillipduran]

First time checking you out. Where do you work out of?
Want to know what year 6.0 or 6.2 I can replace my 09 5.3 with, not wanting alotta mods, just tryna get about 380 hp.for my daily driver. Trans is a rebuilt 6l80. And I'm willing to pay for ur advise.

[Enjoytheinbetween]

Dailey driver, do you prefer aluminum or steel ls block?

[danielk]

So I have a 2007.5 Silverado 1500 with a 5.3. What will I need to install a 6.0 and what year should I get the 6.0 from? I've found 2 6.0's with less than 90K miles and I think one is out of an 2009 and the other a 2011. I know nothing about this stuff and I don't do any work on my truck other than oil changes since I'm disabled but my son said he'd install the engine for me if I get the parts. I know I'll have to find someone to program the computers and we don't have that stuff.

[bigchief]

I have am L59 I believe? E85 engine from 03 z71 burb. What's difference between this and a standard 03 5.3?
