LS Swap into 60-98 GM Trucks

The LS Swap into 60-98 GM Trucks is a comprehensive 160-page technical guide designed for enthusiasts and professional mechanics undertaking one of the most popular engine conversion projects in the automotive aftermarket. This S-A BOOKS publication serves as the definitive reference for anyone planning to transplant LS or LT series engines into classic and second-generation Chevrolet and GMC trucks spanning four decades of production. Whether you're restoring a vintage C10 or upgrading a square-body GMT400, this manual provides the knowledge needed to execute a successful swap that dramatically improves horsepower, reliability, and drivability.

This paperback resource covers critical technical ground that separates successful builds from problematic installations. The guide addresses engine bay modifications, structural considerations, and the engineering principles behind LS platform integration into older truck chassis. Detailed sections outline wiring harness adaptation, fuel system integration, cooling system requirements, and transmission selection—each element essential to converting carbureted or first-generation fuel-injected powerplants into modern, reliable LS or LT motors. The 160-page format delivers information-dense content without unnecessary filler, respecting both your time and budget.

Mechanics and DIY builders benefit most from this guide when tackling trucks manufactured between 1960 and 1998, a range encompassing first-generation C10s through GMT400 platforms. The manual proves invaluable whether upgrading a single-cab work truck, resurrecting a neglected family heirloom, or building a high-performance street machine. Real-world installation notes, compatibility matrices, and troubleshooting insights drawn from successful builds ensure you understand not just what to do, but why each step matters. This is essential reference material for anyone serious about maximizing modern engine performance in classic GM truck frames.
