LS Swap Kits – Complete Engine Conversion Solutions

Swapping an LS engine into your classic GM muscle car, truck, or off-road build? Our LS swap kits eliminate the hassle of sourcing individual components by providing vehicle-specific, bolt-in solutions for Camaro, Chevelle, C10, G-Body, and more.

Each kit is designed to ensure proper fitment, drivetrain alignment, and clearance, so you can focus on the build instead of fabricating parts. Our LS swap kits include:

✔ Engine Mounts & Adapters – Precision-engineered mounts for a clean, factory-style installation.
✔ Performance Headers – Optimized for exhaust flow and chassis clearance.
✔ LS Swap Oil Pan – Designed for proper ground and crossmember clearance.

These kits are built to support a wide range of LS engines, including the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, and LSX.

✔ Vehicle-Specific Fitment – No universal parts, just direct bolt-in solutions.
✔ Proper Drivetrain Alignment – Engine mounts, oil pans, and headers are engineered as a system.
✔ No Cutting or Welding Required – Designed for easy installation with basic hand tools.

Choosing the Right LS Engine for Your Swap

The LS family includes a variety of engines suited for different budgets and performance goals. Here's a breakdown of the most common options:

LS Truck Engines: 4.8L, 5.3L, & 6.0L – Budget-Friendly Performance

These iron-block LS engines are widely available, durable, and affordable, making them a great choice for budget-conscious swaps. Pulled from Silverado, Tahoe, and Suburban models, they provide an excellent foundation for naturally aspirated or boosted applications.

  • 4.8L (LR4) – 260-300 HP, lightweight rotating assembly, ideal for turbo builds.
  • 5.3L (LM7, L59, L33) – 285-330 HP, strong aftermarket support, great balance of cost and performance.
  • 6.0L (LQ4, LQ9) – 300-370 HP, increased displacement for more torque and high-power builds.

Performance LS Car Engines: LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7 – Lightweight & High-Revving

These aluminum-block LS engines are lighter than truck-based options and feature better-flowing cylinder heads and cam profiles.

  • LS1 – 345-350 HP, the original LS, high-revving, great for street cars.
  • LS2 – 400 HP, more torque than LS1, popular in pro-touring and autocross builds.
  • LS3 – 430+ HP, excellent factory head design, ideal for modern performance applications.
  • LS6 – 405 HP, similar to LS2 but with an upgraded cam and higher revving potential.
  • LS7 – 505 HP, 7.0L displacement, dry sump oiling, built for high-performance track cars.

LSX: Maximum Power & Aftermarket Support

  • LSX Crate Engines – Reinforced block, available in 6.2L+ configurations, capable of handling 1,000+ HP with the right internals.
