When i did my swap, i had 3 things i needed to have. Please be truthful with yourself and tell us what you want. You can swap an LS for $2500 into an s10, or you can spend $21,000 on the swap. If youre planning on going 250mph and 7s in the quarter mile, you might want to be in the 1500 hp range.īut, until we get more info from you, it's all just guessing.Īlso, power steering, ari conditioing, power windows, lifted, lowered, budget swap, endless funds swap, stock parts, race parts, there is so much to discuss. If youre going slalom/track racing, you might want to be in the 500 hp range. and ANY LS base engine you can find that fits your budget will work. What your goals are, what youre endstate is.įor example, if youre not going over 85mph and want to row through the gears every month to the local car show, then you only need 300 hp. Thanks for any input, any help is greatly appreciated!Ĭlick to expand.The issue is you didnt tell us how you want to drive this thing. I am just looking for advice/reassurance from individuals who have done this or those with more knowledge than myself. Second, what are some recommendations on reusing the stock transmission? I assume it's too old and weak to handle any real power? Research points me to the AR5 or T56 unless the stock unit is an option. I'm also not against a 6.0 or 5.7, but once again, which is best? Or is it a non-issue because they all bolt up the same way and can utilize the same harness, accessories, etc. I read a post where a guy here used the 元3 however, they seem hard to come by. So, one would assume one of those is better for a swap than others. I'm leaning towards a 5.3 but, which 5.3? The research I've done tells me there are multiple 5.3's from different vehicles spanning many years. Currently, the truck has a 2.8 and a 5-speed manual (I believe it's a T5). I have searched the inter-webs and this forum multiple times and haven't really seen the answers I'm looking for. I'm beginning my LS swap on a 92 I just picked up, and I'm looking for advice on which engine and manual transmission to purchase.
