GM LS Engine Hardware Finishing Kit 01-13

The GM LS Engine Hardware Finishing Kit 01-13 from DURA-BOND is a complete fastener and trim assembly designed specifically for LS engine builds and restorations covering 2001–2013 model years. This kit exists to streamline the finishing stages of LS swaps and performance builds, eliminating the need to source hardware piecemeal across multiple suppliers. Whether you're completing a street rod swap, a modern crate engine installation, or a full engine bay restoration, this kit delivers the correct fasteners, brackets, and hardware needed to achieve a factory-correct or show-quality appearance.

DURA-BOND hardware kits are engineered to OEM specifications and include grade-rated bolts, studs, clips, and trim pieces that match the appearance and function of genuine GM components. The kit's compact footprint—measuring 2.65 × 2.65 × 5.4 inches and weighing only 0.27 lbs—packages everything efficiently without sacrificing completeness. Each fastener is sized and finished to ensure proper clamp load on critical engine components, corrosion resistance in under-hood environments, and visual consistency across the engine bay. The hardware composition follows GM's original material standards, meaning you'll achieve authentic fitment and durability equivalent to factory-original installations.

This kit is essential for LS engine enthusiasts, professional swap shops, and restoration specialists working with 2001–2013 GM LS powerplants in trucks, vehicles, and non-original platforms. Installation requires standard metric and SAE tools; the included documentation references OEM torque specifications and bolt patterns for LS1, LS2, LS3, and truck-based variants. Mechanics appreciate this kit because it reduces build time, eliminates guesswork during final assembly stages, and ensures that every fastener meets GM's original load and corrosion ratings. Compatibility spans all third-gen LS platforms including Corvette, Camaro, Silverado, and Tahoe applications, making it a universal choice for serious builds.
