LT changing to an LS

**mysticZ** · 01-16-2011, 06:38 AM

I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here but I didn't see it. I am buying a salvage 02 SS to change everything over on my 95 Z. Anyone done or know if there are any future headachs coming my way.

You will need the PCM from the '02 to run everything. GMHTP has featured some LS swaps exactly like you have planned -- you may want to check their site for back articles. I know there are vendors that make the engine mounts and other adapters that you need to run the gauges and such. As I recall, you need to clearance the k-member just a bit but the overall swap appears to be fairly straightforward.

I will have the whole car to pull parts from. I hope every thing matches up. Thanks for the info about the articles.

There are also a couple of nice books out there on LS swaps. You should be able to find a few on Amazon, maybe even one that includes details on the swap you are performing.
