Overview

In this illustrated guide, an LS-series expert takes you step-by-step through the process of installing GM’s high-power engines in any automobile.

First underhood in the 1997 Corvette, GM’s LS engines 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. Among performance enthusiasts, these remarkable V-8 engines have become a favorite for engine swaps, owing to their fantastic power, compact design, and modification possibilities.

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
