Join Nolan Sykes as he breaks down why the LS V8 is the top choice for hot-rodders, drifters, and mad scientists all over the world. It’s an inside look at what makes the LS such a good engine, and some of the craziest LS swaps around.
WheelHouse answers all the questions about the automotive world you never thought to ask. Nolan Sykes looks at the history, sociology and psychology behind the cars you love, and the features you might overlook.

Ive seen your grandma at the track
See ya on Nürburgring

Lmfao
I forgot to update u guys,i just switched her breathing from Manuel to automatic
My buddy passed away and his family sold me his 94 Buick roadmaster station wagon. I'm gonna throw in a LS 6.0L and boost it, cause it was always his dream
Rest in peace brother.
@@MCrelationz thanks brother
Hope u are able to ignite his dreams!!!
That's so sweet! Your such a good guy
I appreciate the comments you guys. I think I'll be picking it up next weekend and gotta swap the transmission cause he apparently blew it up doing a burnout lol. I'm gonna daily it for a year and then I'll do the drivetrain swap

"the only limit is your own creativity" And my countries laws against swapping engines into cars they weren't designed for.
Germany? Switzerland? Who's so strict?
@@HUNKragor Switzerland. its even hard to convert a stock e30 318i to a 325i, if you wanna do it legal. i spent almost 6 months talking to bmw to get all the papers i needed for the registration in switzerland
It's only illegal if you get caught.
@@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342 you can say what you want, but he is spitting straight facts
Well in Czechia you can not even swap exahust. Tuning is just as illegal as drugs and rape to people who rule this country 😂
My buddy has an ls swapped civic. Calls it the “civette”
Why the V8 is combined with FWD?
Linda Gaffar he swapped it to RWD also
Oow, nice
So its a Ls with a civic wrapped around it
He did what
"Who doesn't love the sound of a V8?"
"Who doesn't want that power in their car?"
My mother.
Ahhhhh… So shes another boosted 1JZ/2JZ fan too is she? Lol, kidding bro,
Just give she V6
Just get her a Honda Civic and glass pack that shit. She’ll have some gas mileage and serious hearing issues after Driving it for so long.

Funny story.
Back in the late 90s, my dad worked for a company called Matrix Tooling and they were given a new job.
They had done work for GM Powertrain and they were their primary customer. But they were given a new job. Make the tooling for this new V8 that GM is making. He was in charge of making this tooling which was then sent up to Ontario to the St. Catherine propulsion plant where the LS1 was made. He’s super proud that he got do some work on the LS1 and has a Sunset Orange 02 Camaro SS in our garage that he ordered back in 02.

JDM BOIS: no I'm not!
EDM BOIS: oooohhh reliable RX7

Imma EDM fanboi!
ls swappimg small sports cars is just stupid. It makes car more twitchy and front heavy. If you want to go straight, sure, why not. If you want to turn, better find something lighter.
But your ls will never compare to the 2jz with 2 cars that have 5 second quarters
I still like ls tho just saying
@@gameboyterrorysta6307 you would be surprised to see what suspension and tires can to to make up for the weight differential. Many complained of added weight installing the 2GR in MR2s but it turns out one of the world's best mountain racers is a 2GR MR2. Look it up.

im kinda a dodge fanboy but I do have to say the only thing that makes the 5.7L hemi better than the Ls6 6.0L is that you can call it a hemi and hemi sounds cool... yeah, thats about it :(
UMG i used to love dodge but they are really heavy

Damn
Muscle cars swap them for power. Drifters for Torque and less Lag. Delorean, because their stock engine was complete shit.
Simple & Clean swap torque with power
True
Simple & Clean yes
Delorean was going to put in a much more powerful engine that was going to make the car faster than most ferraris of the time, but then they went bankrupt.
@@goldenfloof5469 that engine was designed by delorean, so no.. that engine was meant to be in it, pile of shit it is too.

Lol. As we speak a 5.3 is being shoehorned into my 94 pretaco. (How he's cramming it in there I don't know. I suspect Dark Magic)
Do it. I dropped a LS1 & T56 into my 92 single cab hilux. Was so much fun
@@DRendle13 I am so stoked. Any advice on traction? An Lsd is a no-brainer, but there's just *so* many other options to consider. Caltracs, slappers, ladder bars, Helwig springs, roadmasters, traction bars, 4-link...
In regards to your point on getting the smaller displacement engine for a turbo build; Sound reasoning, however in the case of the LS, the 4.8 and the 5.3 actually use the exact same block. The change in displacement for a lot of these engines comes from piston type, stroke, etc. The blocks are the exact same. =)
do a video explaining the difference between LS1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9
Most of those you mentioned don't exist lol
that's why i didnt include LS5 and LS8 because i know those arent a thing.
LS1 was in the C5
LS2 was in the SSR truck thing
LS3 was in the C6
LS4 was in the impala SS
LS6 was in the C5 Z06
LS7 was in the C6 Z06
LS9 was in the C6 ZR1 (supercharged)
LSA was in the CTS-V (supercharged)
Oscar Thorpe The LS2 was also in the early C6 Corvettes and 05 and 06 GTOs.
Also, the LSX engine. It was used in one Corvette model, not sure which one, and in the HSV W427
M Barilla All those exist.....
Saw a video on an LS Yugo the other day. I"d have to say that's my favorite LS swap after a Delorean
Delorean because my inner child wants that car to be fast
Yugo because I just love the absurdity of it.

I'm one of the OG LS240 guys. Swapped my s13.5 over 13 years ago before there were swap kits or parts & everything had to be fabricated. Still have it & love it so much that all my rides are LS powered - C5 vette & L92 Escalade.
I didn’t have the time or skill to ls swap something so I went out and bought a 99 FRC C5, and well she’s a lot of fun
A 4.8 has the exact same cylinder wall thickness as a 5.3.
The crank has a shorter stroke.
THANK YOU! Was making sure it was on here before i posted this
Lol, I had to make sure someone said it before I said it.
And a longer rod I think.
If you look at the 4.8 or the 5.3 numbers both numbers are on the same Block I have too Of them And they say 4.8 and on top at 5.3 lol
I swear! I was into the video and everything but was like woah, hangout a minute lmao. Same bore, less stroke.
Ls swap a go kart. It might be faster than the koeneggseigg one:1 because it would have a better power to weight ratio. Oh, and then you supercharge it. It would be the most american go-kart.
How could it be faster if it has no grip, or if it has wheels the size of a Koneseggseigg one:1
0 to 60 at the speed of death!
I think you missed why they named it one:1
Or Australian we love superchargers. ;)
It's not faster if it won't hook.

Thank you for actually mentioning the LS4. Great engine, overlooked by most.
I want one in my mk5 gti
The LQ4 and LQ9 are probably the best 2 LS based engines to swap you are able to bore the cylinders more than aluminum blocks due to the cylinder sleeves the aluminum block contain. Plus the C.I block is great for boost. LQ4 any GM 6.0 in the heavy-duty truck line up 02 through 07 1/2. Lq9 any Vortec max I.e 03 through 06 escalade SS Silverado H2 or Denali.
I graduated HS in 85. I still have the truck from my cruzing days. It’s a 1960 Chevy fleet side. I LS swapped a 4.8 into it. Just got it running last week see my channel for first start.

Ignas V ever heard of the LS4?
6:14 Dude, the 4.8 and the 5.3 have the exact same block, the only difference is the stroke, so the 4.8 has no additional "meat on its bones" over the 5.3. Same wall thickness on both!
So i can put a turbo on my 07 impala ss and fuckin send her.
this is true.

CarNutz change that b series to a k series and your list couldn't be more perfect
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
Yeah. Fuck a b-series, and the only 4 pot with a 4 in the name you need to know about is the 4g63. Who cares if you can rev to 12,000 if you still only make 150 whp. I dunno what it is with toyota guys and 5 valve heads that make shit for power.
torque? who cares?
4A-GE FTW. reliable. and with a turboupgrade still reliable😂😂
Nice video. I have a 79 Jeep Cherokee chier, LS4.8, And I love it, best decisition I ever made!
thank you for sharing this video amazing story
An interesting point that he missed is that the ECU (PCM) is basically a standalone computer. Most newer engine computers need a host of things only present in their original vehicle. Any tuner can make an LS computer run in any vehicle (or no vehicle at all) in a matter of minutes.
My first, and probably greatest swap, which predated the LS engine by a few years was a '73 Datsun 620 with a '70 350. Reverse pattern, manual valve body 400tt. It was scary quick. Blew the stock rear after about 1000 miles, and put in a 9". Might have to do one with an LS one of these days.
Back in the day they used to put the old-school small block into everything
Back in your day cars died at 100,000 miles.
I put an LS1 and trans from a 2002 SS Camaro and Getrag limited slip differential from a CTS Caddy into my '97 NA Miata. Love it. Nothing like 350 hp in a 2300 lb car. I have to make an edit; Upgrading with a BTR "stage 1" cam and the proper supporting mods for 400+ hrsprs is an even mo bettah experience!
LS swapped a vegan.
At least it works now, but it tells everyone.
LGBT vegan driving LS RX7
Is he now muscular?
That's to much meat for a vegan
Alex Grigoryev you swap a LS in your RX7 so it reliable but you buy a RX7 if your Lan-Evo IX is too reliable
Reliable power with strong aftermarket support is a winning combo
Joe Gardner until your transmissions shits on its self that is
I have the 5.3 ls in my 03 Silverado best motor I've ever had. Almost 200000 miles same coil packs only changed plugs once. Lots of power after tune headers and cold air intake. Engine restore is really good for the famous cold start knock. After my upgrades the truck has alot of bottom end torque.
Another thing that doesn’t get mentioned is that the hardware and the electronics to actually run the engine are super accessible, thanks to GM and now Holley. GM has what they call a “run kit” that they will sell you over the counter just so you can do your engine swap and now Holley has got on board and made fuel injection nearly fool proof. I just wish other manufacturers would take the hint and make their equipment more “hot rod friendly”. Looking at you Dodge and Ford.
I did an LS Swap. I sold my 97 LT1 Trans Am and swapped the money plus a little extra change for the 2000 LS1 Trans Am I just bought. This is the sweetest and easiest stock LS swap you can make!
So basically traditional engineering is why it's so good
He said they re-engineered it for better airflow so it's hardly traditional
Also the cross bolted main caps make it a very solid block to get big power out of. Some getting up to 900 HP on the stock crank and rods.
Traditional engineering and copying fords best engine designs over the last 50 years.. heck the ls even has Cleveland firing order
pejjiz dumb comment. LS os just alumimum 350 basically. ford copied magnetic ride and needed gm to help develop 10 spd trans.
@@vidalbolton2373 the ls block is just a ford modular but with a cam in it. just as it has 351windsor firing order and windsor oiling system even the combustion chambers are copied from the 390hp/427 fe. adapt a distributor into it and check which distributor you use oh yeah thats right a ford small block one..
Damn this help me out so much thx man.
Great video, LSA Swapped 92 Camaro 3rd Gen FTW!
The best part about an LS Swap is all of the hurt feelings when I lift the hood of my old Ford.
Then why not just buy a Chevy and put an LS in it?
@@travisriedel6315 maybe you like the look of old Fords but want a cheap engine to run it.
It’s a shameful place to be. Ford guys don’t like it. And Chevy guys are like, Why didn’t you just buy a Chevy.
nah, its just fucking boring. those arent hurt feelings, its just a let down.
I think it cool, Why spend twice the money to build a ford engine when you can get the power and reliability for half the price.
If I had the money I would totally buy a Jeep give it a Jurassic Park Jeep paint job and put an LS motor in it, that would be hilarious LoL
And have a bullhorn playing the jurassic park theme song while you run 9s down the track lol
hardy har har....
we share the same dreams
I already have
Yes. Make it happen 😂
Had an LS swapped 91 foxbody GT w/ Cast iron 5.3L, ls6 heads, LSA blower and a 6L80 auto. Daily driver. Lol the guy who has it now did the 03/04 cobra IRS, fully tubed the front, roll caged it and runs it as a daily/ track car/road racer on the weekends! Wish I never sold it 😓
Make a video on your trans am, I just bought an 83 model and would love to possibly get some ideas and admire it :)
On a long enough timeline...
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST
... everything gets a LS.
RCR!!!
Supreme Snake
Yes.
The LS swap is the best LS swap.
The year is 20xx all cars now run on LS engines and the only difference is what meaningless badge it wears
There are only 2 cars I hate seeing ls swaped, the rx-7 and the datsun 240z.
Add every other rotary as well as GTR's and Supras on this, and you have what i think should never be LS-Swapped.
At this point I think every LS swapped RX 7 is purely to piss off people who like rotary. And its completely justified.
My brother has a LS powered RX7 and 240Z , beat that
They cant, their rotary powered cars are broken and getting the engine pulled out for the 4th time.
Aspra upgrading the RX7 original motor is most likely to make you go broke
Nolan, congratulations! You are a lot more interesting than you were last year at this time! I am now able to stay interested in what you have to say! XD Keep up the good work!
First off, love your videos. Second, if you’re going to talk about LS is besides power, weight, and overall size, you have to mention just simple ease of maintenance and upgrades. The fact that the LS has an insane amount of aftermarket catalogs, as well as every gasket is made out of a metal rubber composite, and all six bolt mains, means that anything you have to do to the motor is super simple! Just changing plugs and wires is way easier than any sbc before it.
Keep it up and luv your videos!!
VORTEC'S KICKIN IN YO
Burnt Feridgerator and it actually kicks in lol
LS9 going into my 2013 CTS Premium. Next level from the 3.6l LFX that sits in her now. Got a couple of years to go for that to get done.
My grandpa has a bunch of hot rod cars, and he’s super particular about everything on them. They are as close to factory spec as you’ll find. National level awards, etc. He has a ‘55 Chevy sedan, which is 100% perfect, except for the engine. Instead of the stock one from 1955, he put a LS2 engine under the hood, cranking the old, little hot rod to 400+ WHP. One of the craziest builds I’ve ever seen.
LS swaps will never be played out. Just like JZ swaps
I'm saving money to do swap for LS in my Chevy Blazer. The V6 is all right but the V8 is even better :)
I have a Lexus IS200 with a cammed, manual LS1. I have had turbo’s my whole life going to N/A V8 I have to admit I am enjoying the change!

Brap Brap Brap Stutututu
Brop Brop Brop Brop broooooooo stutututututututu.
No...
Nah but it'd be cool tho
i disagree with the size. it all comes down to cost. there is plenty of engines out there that are the same size and can make loads of power but nothing is cheaper to buy and build than a chevy. thats why sbc swaps were so popular till the LS came out.
In Europe we use a VAG 1.8T for swaps, 1800ccm and turbo/supercharger and more....
Because is cheaper than LS, sorry but "no replacement for displacement" in Europe is a shot in foot
Ford coyote is cheaper and makes similar power, but it's a less common swap because it's a bigger engine. Size IS a big consideration in swaps. A lot of cars simply can't easily fit a dohc v8
thats not a good comparison. better comparison is the ford small block, its the same size and can make the same power its just more expensive. even a chrysler small block is the same size but it cost more to build and swap. they dont make near the amount of swap parts as they do for chevys. its really cost 1st, size 2nd.
ford small block and ls are no where near relevantly close in cost to build. it takes about 3 to 4 times the money to build a 347 ford compared to a 347 chevy.
zach miller a coyote is NOT cheaper than an ls/vortec

The reason why LS is used a lot in swaps is because it’s cheap power that can be found everywhere, they came in a lot of cars/trucks that are now in junk yards.
Would love to see more on that gti that thing is insane!🤤
You ain’t really a car guy until you LS swapped a Smart Fortwo

Sounds like you're ready to die lmao
I have a 5.3L Vortec V8 and it has an Aluminum block. It’s in an 01 Chevy Tahoe from factory.
Done an LS2 swap on a 2 seater z32 300zx. Also done a big single 2j. Doing another 2j swap atm on another slicktop 👍
