GM LS-Series Engines is the ultimate guide to installing the LSX in your GM muscle car, with clear, illustrated instruction on everything from fabrication and installation of motor mounts to wiring, fuel system, and driveline considerations.
In GM LS-Series Engines: The Complete Swap Manual, expert Joseph Potak walks you through all the steps involved in installing an LS engine into any vehicle, from concept to completion.
Variants of GM’s groundbreaking family of LS engines are installed in everything from the company’s most mundane panel vans to its earth-shaking Corvette ZR1. First underhood in the 1997 Corvette, the LS1, and its successors have proven powerful, reliable, and amazingly fuel efficient. Since that time, more than a dozen variants have been produced, ranging from bulletproof, iron-block 4.8-liter workhorses to the supercharged 7.0-liter LS7.
Performance enthusiasts have embraced this remarkable V-8, and it has quickly become a favorite for engine swaps. Why? Because the versatile engine offers fantastic power, a compact design, and light weight, and it responds very well to performance modifications. The key to this performance is a sophisticated electronics package that can intimidate even the most adventurous hot rodder.
In GM LS-Series Engines: The Complete Swap Manual, professional LS-series engine specialist and technician Joseph Potak details all the considerations involved in performing this swap into any vehicle. With clear instructions, color photos, diagrams, and specification tables, Potak guides you through:
Mounting your new engine
Configuring the EFI system
Designing fuel and exhaust systems
Sourcing the correct accessories for your application
Transmission, torque converters, and clutches
Performance upgrades and power-adders
Troubleshooting, should problems arise
This is the ultimate guide to installing an LS in your project car.
