I see all the time about people posting comments saying "LS swaps are shit, they are the scum of the car enthusiast world" blah blah blah. In my case explain to me why getting more power, better MPG, loosing weight and less emmisions is worse than keeping it stock.
Don't give me the excuse "it's over done" yeah you see it everywhere but it is for a reason.

A car isn't a special snowflake art project. It's a machine that performs the function of moving you. If you actually had a car you'd understand that driving fast is fun, and when there's a lighter, extremely cheap, relatively fuel efficient, extremely comoon engine with kits that make it almost bolt it, it's retarded not to use it.

The LS is objectively the best balance of power potential, reliability, size, weight, cost and vast aftermarket support.
Subjectively you may not like it as much as another engine, but the same car with a built LS will almost always be faster.

LS engines in a GM product is fine - although GM has produced so many engines, there's plenty of other optiosn to consider. A 70's Pontiac, Olds or Buick muscle car deserves on their their proprietary big blocks. In any Firebird/Camaro, they're a good swap though.

Outside of the GM world, there's so many other options you can and should consider. Especially Mopar and Ford products don't need an LS, because they also have some viable EFI V8's available that offer the same advantages that an LS offers.

Someone did a TT L28 swap into an FD and it was hilarious

What's the point of putting the same engine in multiple different cars? Fucking boring. The LS has boring characteristics and sounds like shit and only has torque and light weight going for it. I'd never swap one, even into an older Chevy. You could swap electric motors into an car and make it faster than an ls, but that would be boring, wouldn't it? That's what everyone thinks of LS swaps.

Way more fun driving a car with the engine is was designed for.

No, it's not feasible or cost effective nor is it likely to be faster with the electric motors and battery packs available to the average consumer and its range would be pathetic.

It's in the LS family. All GM V8's after the 350 Chevy ended in the mid 90's are LS based.

If you're thinking aluminum block LS, search Craigslist and join local GM Facebook pages or clubs. LS1 is very common, LS2 is actually the rarest, LS3 is more common but is the newest so still Pricey

Revs low and has the chunkiest power delivery available. You can feel the end of each full power stroke, it feels like ass

It sounds like a truck. V8s aren't my favourite as far as noise goes in the first place, but the LS sounds awful. Sounds weirdly empty and generic.

>Only has torque and light weight
430hp isn't a lot? Readily available swap kits, standalone ECUs, huge aftermarket support for even more power, all mean nothing?

You could spend that 10-15 grand making almost any engine MUCH faster than an LS.

Okay I don't care if I'm being trolled I am compelled to say this- There is no such as a big block or small block Pontiac. Every Pontiac V8 is externally identical and based off the same block.

>>17024935
The aluminium FWD LS4 is a bitch to hook though. You're better off with any other aluminium 5.3 (L33, LH6, LC9, LH8).

>>17024947
Any 5.3, aluminium or iron, will take boost like champ though - unless you get the flat-top pistons which add some compression.

You're not saying anything- These are not technical terms. You might as well be saying "I don't like it because I don't like it."
>>
>>17024966
No. You can still get a 5.7 for about 3K, which is amazingly cheap considering how good the stock heads on those are - a big cam will make a big difference in terms of power. You're just kinda spoiled by the LS being hilariously cheap, although you're not getting a true LS for 3K, but probably a truck motor instead.

"Big block" and "small block" delineations have nothing to do with the displacement of the engine in question. Chevrolet had a big block that displaced 396 cubic inches and a small block that displaced 400 cubic inches. The designation is divorced from displacement.

The torque curve looks pretty normal to me. Are you referring to stock exhaust sound? Because modern stock exhausts a shit.
>making X engine much faster than ls
But sometimes you just want a given power level and not a monster. An LS is a fantastic update to any 60s or 70s muscle car.

And what if I told you I like electric motor swaps because they're unique and interesting? I just wouldn't do one myself.

No, I'm just not the type to lap up shit from someone talking out of their ass. You are incapable of "feeling" the end of a power stroke because a power stroke is happening thousands of times per minute. What you're more likely attempting to get at is a gearing problem where the vehicle is geared too tall so it feels like it "falls off" at the end of each gear. You might be right though, I'm not big on subtleties, especially when you're making how ignorant you are about engines known in such an unsubtle way.

To expand on this and make it really clear, having more cylinders generally makes power delivery smoother. So does DOHC. Ever driven an old triumph with a push rod 4 cylinder? You'll understand what I'm talking about if you do.

This is why rotaries have ridiculously smooth power delivery. No valve train.

>>17025470
>generally makes power delivery smoother

What is with this weasel word bullshit you keep pulling out of your ass? "Generally-" What are the exceptions then, WHY are there exceptions? If there are exceptions, why is your apparent generality something you're swearing by? All a greater number of cylinders does is bypass the inherent material weaknesses of a mechanical system that has been upsized and in extreme cases the inertia of a system (but is more a material issue.) Ferrari V12s are peaky fuckers which is why they have nasty transmissions with a shitload of gears, dual clutches and so forth- All to keep them in the upper RPMs.

Rotaries are the same way, they are incredibly peaky engines that don't make much in the way of power before 4 grand and then come on hard as hell because they're making enough boost or have adequate intake charge velocity and peak hard precisely because they don't have a valvetrain- The window of time for the intake charge to pack the combustion chamber gets smaller smaller the faster the engine spins.

The main difference between the truck and the car motors are the that the block is iron and the bolt-ons are different. They are all interchangeable and the weight penalty is minimal.

Nitpicking the difference between the engines is just pathetic since the later truck heads outflow most of the stock LS heads. All you need to fill the gap is a cam (which most people swap anyway)

Yeah, I used to try go get that across, but I stopped trying, to many boneheads here. I swapped using a truck block. Bolted on some previous accessories and everything is great, love it.
Another (albeit unrelated) ls misconception, a 6.0 will lose tq down low using ls3 (or truck rectangular port) heads instead of the stock 317. In a real world scenario it doesnt. There's slightly more tq and the power comes on much stronger 3000+.

>>17024258
No they are US Wheels I wasn't happy with the way the bassets looked on my co-workers drag t-type regal so I went with these.


Oh boy is it great to see people getting triggered here.

So a consensus:
If you put any amount of money into a motor, you could put the same into an LS and get even more power.

The sound? That's subjective so that argument doesn't count, plus ask any one how a cammed LS sounds and 99% will say "good" any cammed V8 sounds good.

If you care more about originality and keeping true to the car (say rx7) then that's fine but you'll be spending more money for less power.

At the end of the day an LS will be easier to swap than any coyote (those boat anchors are so big they barely fit under the hood of anything with out extensive mods)

Cheeper than any motor for power per dollar (I spent 3k total in mine with motor tranny, ECU, and parts to reseal the motor) and now have 300 how reliably.

My motor and trans has 180k on it and runs strong as ever.

Again you see them in everything, but there is a reason for it; easy, cheap and reliable.

Also putting a 5.3 in a Chevelle, trying to out what I want to do with the oil pan, don't want to pay $200 for a shit pan and I really don't want to pay $350 for a Holley. Thinking about just chopping the truck pan.

LS swaps are great as long as you keep them in cars made by GM

Isn't that the only reason anyone would not go with an LS anyway?
>>
>>17024621
Without a doubt the small block chevy, years of service, easy horsepower builder, cheap parts, interchangeability.. they rev great...just the best engines ever made........but these new ls motors will take the title once they have been around half as long....they are sweet. Whether turbo or nitrous set up they are beast,they can take a beating.....
>>
>>17026049
>The main difference between the truck and the car motors are the that the block is iron
Except some truck blocks are aluminium, and some car blocks are iron. The difference isn't just in the boltons, the difference is mainly in the power output and the internals. Nitpicking might be minor, but there's a significant difference between LS head flow and the Hemi. A cammed 5.7 Hemi will make more power than a similarly cammed 5.7 ''LS'', thanks to that head flow.
>>
>>17029369
VE is everything and Hemi heads have got it in spades.
>>
>>17023938
In stuff with a Ford Cleveland you can leave that motor in there, put good heads on it and get similar numbers. Plus there's EFI gear and electronic ignitions available already.

I don't mind LSes but I'm not a huge fan of the sound, which is why I don't like them too much -- but if it's your car, go right ahead, your car.

Can confirm, Windsor and Cleveland v8s make
sounds that make my balls tingle. I'm not op but I seriously considered swapping in a 351 in my Camaro before I bought my lq4.

If you are concerned about the pan just order an OEM, no need to go aftermarket because they are so common.

>>17029369

Yes, there are aluminium truck blocks but the L33 are not as common. I just checked some of the local junkyards and lower mileage iron blocks start at $300 and higher mileage L33s are starting at $600. Far cry from the HEMIs starting $700 for just short blocks while most of the LSx are complete long blocks.

Personally I prefer the iron because they take boost like fucking champions

For instance. Flat tappet motor and all.
>>
>>17029531
It's not just the L33 that's aluminium, you also have the LH6, LH8 and LC9. I personally prefer the aluminium ones because it's an easy weight savings where you need it most: over the front axle. Sure, the Hemi's are more expensive, but you get what you pay for there. They are certainly a better fit for Mopar applications.

>Personally I prefer the iron because they take boost like fucking champions
Nope. Iron or aluminium doesn't matter. What matters is that you have any 5.3 with the low compression pistons, not the flat tops. Doesn't matter if it's iron or not.

I've heard lots and lots of header systems, intakes, cams, etcetera.

Valve placement's a lot harder to edit and unless you severely, -severely- port the motors they still have that fundamental LS rasp.

Some love it, but it's not for me. The ridge-floored Cleveland heads and small port Windsors, the huge angle Hemis and porcupine rat motors are all way up the chain from the LS -- it was built for power in the midrange and that's what it sounds like.

A friend of mine owned a business that brought in about fifty million a year. He asked me what the craziest sleeper we could make was. We put a turbo LS2 in a mint 2002 Buick LeSabre that we converted to rear drive. Took us over a year, but the looks we got at the strip and red lights was worth it.
>>
>>17029918

I need pictures of this, my mother in law had a le sabre and I wanted to do the same thing until she destroyed it.

>if aluminum is your poison.
Daily reminder that it's not an LS if it isn't aluminum.

Look it up. There are several non-LS aluminum smallblocks, but your iron truck engine is not an LS
>>
>>17023938
LS swaps are common so people are bored with them, but they are an excellent engine which is why it's so commonly swapped in the first place. they aren't perfect by any means, but when you start with a strong platform that was tossed into just about any vehicle that GM made, and has a gigantic aftermarket it's going to be a popular swap.
>>
>>17023946
huh, i thought faggots liked pushing rods
>>
>>17024303
If you'd don't own one, seeing them on Instagram then yes it looks boring. But it's alot of power in a car you like and realible

Made ok power but not much else. Heavy for bigblock, not the most power, and not that many made with good HP.

Oh shit this thread is still up. He drives on the Bassetts and they're fine? They're literally the only wheel with that style available in 4 x 4.25 (going onto a foxbody), and I've been able to find shit-all about them online apart from one thread on an ancient forum just showing how they looked.

My problem with LS Swaps are those retards who take JDM and drop LSs on them.

I mean if you want a V8 powered car, why you don't buy american then? Fucking triggers me when i see a nice RX-7 but when he starts the car it's a fucking LS.
>>
>>17036129
RX7 is stupid to me, but an S-chassis not so much since those cars are just made to do dumb things to, much like foxbodies.
>>
>>17036146

True, but still, i'd rather throw a RB26DETT on a S-Body than an LS.

Imagine like if someone throws a 20B on a double-windowed '67 Corvette.

Personally I'd think that's fucking hilarious. S-chassis aren't really rare, and they're not special, why not do different things with them?
