    LS swap info

    Hello

    I am a big block guy, but looking at a '65 GTO that I would like to install a LS engine into. Any help pointing me into the proper direction would be greatly appreciated

    thank you, Sam

    Welcome to the site, Sam. I'm sure one of our members will be able to help you out with the info you're looking for. We have several that have done LS swaps into classics.

    Belated welcome! It's getting pretty easy these days to drop an LS into most anything. There is great aftermarket support for specific parts such as engine controllers, wiring harnesses, transmission adapters, engine mounts, and so forth. A 6.0 sourced from a truck is a solid foundation - you just have to beware of DOD and AFM is those would be of concern to you.

    Stuff that makes a swap infinitely more complex.

    I have found that many of the specialty aftermarket vendors for a certain model are the best ones to go to -- so, whether it be Classic Industries, National Parts Depot, or some other vendor, they probably all have what you are seeking. You can also check Summit and Jegs as they are stocking LS swap parts these days as well.

    Bones this question would be best answered if it was in the General Help section. It would get more views.

    I would suggest reaching out to FirebirdJones. He has put some LS motors in older vehicles.
