LS engine swap info

A lot of questions have been asked lately about LS engine swaps. I have done a bunch of research and wanted to share what I have found. I hope it helps some of you out. Spend some time clicking the links, I have put a lot of the time into finding this stuff.

LT1swap lots of good wiring harness info with pictures and DIY tips

LT1swap

Lots of good LS information, what are the engine differences etc

Re: LS engine swap info

Here are a few Engine sources to look at. I only have experience with Spaulding Automotive. I will elaborate more when I finally start my build thread.

SPAULDING AUTO

Here is a you tube link from one of their ads

Spaulding auto ready to run package

A couple people have bought from these guys

Schram auto

Pacific fab also does pull out and ready to run packages they also have a pretty cool 4X4 Ls crossmember I'll talk about later

Pacific Fab

Another vender that seems to have happy customers?

TNScrambler

And last but not least car part.com

Car Part.com

These are all just a reference, buyer beware and I am not recomending anyone at the moment. Ask questions, try local and good luck there are deal out there

Re: LS engine swap info

Motor mounts and adapter plates

A couple of drawings of adapter plates, you would need two of either plate. This one would move the engine forward some.

They are showing the wrong hole countersunk. The hole that should be countersunk is the one between the two 1.75 inch measurements. The point goes forward and to the top. You have to countersink the hole that ends up behind the motor mount. The two plates will be mirror images with the countersunk hole on opposite sides of the plate. This is more like most of the aftermarket adapter plates. Most of them are 5/16-3/8 while these are 1/4 inch. The slight thickness differences could change engine height. I haven't read much about anyone having any issues with any of the different thickness adapter plates.

And advance adapters. They are the only one that doesn't use the bottom bolt hole to position the motor mount? Hmmm

Advance Adapters


Now the drawings say 1/4 inch and all the rest are 5/16-3/8 which in my humble opinion will slightly change where your engine sits, higher/lower?

There are some issues with crossmembers on the 4X4 trucks causing motor mount and crossmember problems. My truck is stock height so these won't work for me but 4" plus lifted vehicles can use these from Pacific Fabrication

Re: LS engine swap info

Wiring, harnesses, and connectors

If you want to modify your own harness there is some good info at LT1swap in the first post. Here is a list of links to places that either modify your own harness or build complete new ones. After contacting a bunch of them and having some emails go unanswered I am having my harness done by a board member


68 short step
Check him out for your project

Jims performance is very knowleagable and was the most reasonable. You must call him.

Jims


SPEARTECH


Wait4me

Current performance also has fuse/relay panels connectors and will either rework your harness or build new.

In addition to currant performance here are a few places to get fuse/relay panels, connectors, pins and bulkhead connectors

Re: LS engine swap info

Transmission info and adapters

If my transmission ever needs a rebuild I am going with these guys. Check out all the pictures and attention to detail!

Finish Line Transmission build thread


Not a lot of info to post here. The harnesses can be changed from either a 4l60 to a 4l80 and the other way around. It is easier to alter a 4l80 harness for the 4l60 but both are doable. The 4l80 has 2 VSS sensors and the 4l60 has one. If you have a 4l60 harness you have to add the other VSS for the 4l80. If you have a 4l80 harness you remove the extra VSS for the 4l60. It matters which one but if you are doing your own harness you will have the pin outs. If you are having it done they should know what to do if not find someone else. In the big round connector there are a couple of wires moved between the 4l60 and 4l80.

HERE IS THE DIFFERENCES IN THE TRANSMISSION WIRING


There is a big switch on the side of the transmission. It is your park/neutral safety switch. Many people remove this and that can be done. The PCM does use that information for more than the safety and gear indicator but from what I have read it is not necessary. Here is what I have found

The PCM uses the signal to adjust idle speed based on whether the car is in gear or in park/neutral.
As soon as the PCM "sees" the car go in gear it drops the idle speed by around 100 rpm to prevent jerking going into gear, and to prevent tugging at the torque converter.

It can be considered as optional on a swap. As long as the line is left open the PCM will always assume the car is in gear, and will drop to lower rpm when the engine is started. This also causes a much quicker rpm rampdown on a cold engine start.

Some aftermarket wiring harness companies that have no clue as to how the PCM works will wire this line to ground which makes the PCM think the car is always in park or neutral. On some applications this allows some diagnostic tests to be skipped (EGR, purge, etc.) so that these items can be left off without setting a code. The problem is that the idle is too fast then, and the car wantts to pull a little when sitting still, as well as other issues.


I have a 4X4 and am keeping the NP205 transfer case in the factory location using the 4L60 transmission. Here are the aprts I needed to make this work.


4L60 to 205



Here are some of those parts being installed(bottom first page)



And here is another thread showing more of that installation


The transmission must be disassembled to install the output shaft. I did not want to move my transfer case shifter or change my almost new driveshafts so this is the route I took. There are a couple of passenger side drop transfer cases that will mate to the 4L60 but I do not have the information on what works and what doesn't. If somebody has information on what works and how they handled the shifter etc I will be happy to include it. With all that being said I may still have driveshaft/transmission pan clearance issues due to being stock height. I will update with pictures when I know.

I am also going to try to modify my stock shifter linkage to work. Some say I won't be able to shift into first? Again I will update when I know.

Here are a couple of shifter linkage solutions


Lokar shift linkage



Lokar cable shift linkage


If you need to run a mechanical speedo with a 4L60 this is one solution


Shiftworks


The fittings on these 4l60/80 transmissions are not NPT but National pipe straight thread

And use fittings like these

Re: LS engine swap info

Fuel system (any chance a mod can move this post up?)
The LS engines require 58-60 pounds pressure at the fuel rails. Older fuel rails had a regulator on the rails and there is a feed and return on these engines. On the later fuel rails there is only the feed on the rail. You need to have something like the filter regulator shown below to return the excess fuel to the tank. Some of the tanks these engines came with did this internally in the tank.

I don't know how long this will last but a decent deal on the regulator/filter and he will take offers for less I am told

Re: LS engine swap info

You are doing a great job, thank you for doing this, if I would have had that happen to me, my PC would be in the middle of the street and I with a sledge hammer hoisted high over my head ready for the explosion of PC parts all over the neighborhood, but that is me.

May I add this for cooling, I know it is from the F word car forum but this is what I am doing and it really cools my truck fast.

Re: LS engine swap info

Thank you for putting this together. At some point in time I'm sure I will be doing a LS swap, so this will come in handy.

On the motor mount adapter plates there are two drawings, is one of each needed for a swap?

One other source that I know of for wiring, connectors and a lot of other EFI related components is this one.

http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonnection/default.aspx

He does some really cool things like the 24X coil per plug conversion for older EFI engines. Just lots of cool stuff that he does.

As mentioned below and I will add to the description one puts the engine in the stock location (I believe the longer one) and the other would move the engine forward slightly. Most adapter plates look like the second picture if you click on some of the links

One other source that I know of for wiring, connectors and a lot of other EFI related components is this one. Already have that one, click terminals wire connectors in the wiring link

Re: LS engine swap info

If you want to do your own computer tuning I suggest HPtuners

You will have to have some tuning done to remove at least the VATS. I would also assume most of us doing swaps will not be running a lot of the emissions equipment, so that can be removed from the tune as well.

Once you get your engine up and running you can also edit other things like the timing and fuel curves (similar to re-jetting your carb and adjusting your distributor for the old schoolers). Additionally, if you run an electronically controlled tranny (ie 4L60E) you can change the shift parameters.

Very usefull tool. But, be careful because if you don't know what you're doing you can blow up your engine or ECM.

Also, this program allows you to monitor all of the sensors the engine is putting out, check and clear Check Engine Lights (DTCs) etc.

Re: LS engine swap info

Well umm no because I haven't figured that part out yet.

I will probably get the pro as it has a few more features.

I am also looking at EFI live which has even more features (and maybe a little harder to learn?) but is more expensive.

I just don't have the time to do all the research I need. I was originally going to go with an
AEROFORCE GAUGE
which lets you monitor most parameters and reset check engine light codes. But at $250 I figure I may as well get something I can scan/tune/data log for double or tripple that. I have not made a final decision yet. I wish someone local had one that I could watch and see it in use to help make up my mind. I am kind of a hands on kind of guy!

Re: LS engine swap info

I put together a list of all the parts I used on my 85 to get the A/C hooked up and working. Keep in mind that all the part numbers listed for things like the accumulator, condenser, etc are for my 85, but might be the same for most 81-87's. 73-80 will probably differ, so be sure to check first.

Re: LS engine swap info

On the adapter plates, if you are going to run A/C with the compressor in the stock location, the 2nd plate won't work, because the compressor and engine mount would occupy the same space.

Re: LS engine swap info

If you are using the plates and the LS's compressor, you can either use the shorter plate on the passenger side, or modify the longer plate to the same dims as the shorter one. Then either move the engine stand back about 2", or weld an extension to the back side of the stand to mount the rubber engine mount farther back.
