GM LS-Series Engines: The Complete Swap Manual (Motorbooks Workshop)

Lots of pictures.

This is a really good rundown of the basics of swapping an LS into your vehicle. What engines to look for if scouting salvage yards, transmission possibilities, fuel delivery, etc. As others have mentioned in reviews, it isn't going to be a 100% how-to guide, but that's understandable considering the possibilities for LS swap combinations. It's the best $14.99 I've spent for my LS project!

Great reference for LS swap.

The book is very thorough. It includes sections on every aspect of the project. If you haven't purchased an engine then this book has a detailed explanation of the different options and merits of each with loads of pics. Each section has a number of hints or recommendations to help you alleviate the common problems. The author definitely has a good handle on these projects. It didn't answer all of my questions, but I am ready to put my 2011 LS-3 in my 69 camaro. Yee Haaa.

This is by far the best book on the market for someone doing an LS Engine conversion.As a matter of fact my husband has just about everyone one the market because he is doing an LS376/480 crate motor into a 1987 Buick T-Type with a built 4L70E and Ford 9"rear. This book is printed on the best paper with HUNDREDS of full color shots. The book was written by Author Joseph Potak and believe me he has to be the best out there. He is an impartial Author because he lists ALL the vendors that sell LS Engine parts. Believe me this book is a MUST HAVE for your library.To top it off Amazon has the best price. List price is $24.95 and thru AMAZON.COM I paid $16.49 with free shipping because I had ordered more than $25.00 in items that had qualified for free shipping. How can you beat that price? Don't even hesitate on getting this book. Author Joe Potak and Amazon.com are the BEST. My husband reads this every time he goes into his "Library". I believe that the Author is a member of the LS1Tech.com forums. If any LS1Tech.com members are reading this, get this book, you won't be sorry.

I am working on a 55 chevy truck and was wondering whether to go with the newer style engine or stay with an older style 350. I think this book does a very good job of explaining what needs to be considered when you are thinking of doing this kind of swap. This book did a very good job of taking me from not knowing much about the new style of ls motors to being able to understand what I need to do to go with an ls engine if I choose to do so. I am still in the info gathering stage and this was a very good first step.

Great

This has been a great comprehensive manual for an LS swap into my 73 Monte Carlo. This has been the single best source for information that I have come across yet. Makes it easy and interesting to learn about the differences in the LS platform motors and how to make power on a budget. Lots of interchangeability information and parts sources listed. Worth its' weight in gold!

No me gusto el libro, no tiene nada de la información que dice en la descripción, En la descripción dice que te muestra desde como fabricar un soporte hasta la fabricación de un arnés de cables para la instalación en un carro viejo. No tiene nada de información importante

A very informative book!

book has just about all the info on LS, thankyou

Great book. Answers a lot of questions. A bit short on harness modification and reprogramming but that subject is covered quite extensively on the internet. It would require a huge book to cover it. Gives a good incentive to install an LS engine in my 52 Cadillac.

ok
