Al One thing to note, he talks about the Air-Fuel-Management system (AFM), it’s not correct. AFM stands for Active Fuel Management, sometimes known as DOD or displacement on demand or cylinder de-activation.
Just did a LS3 Erod swap on my 1990 Fj62 Landcruiser retaining the H55F 5speed manual. Absolutely love it. 4.10 gears and 35s. It gets 16mpg. Not bad for that heavyweight. It passes California Emissions. Definitely the way to go in a 1995 and older vehicle.👍
@@stevewyatt3339 Only $8400? Those 6.2's are nice though. My buddy has most of what he needs to rebuild one that he got for free. Didnt blow gaskets or spin a bearing.
6:30 My 96 4x4 Tahoe with the old school Vortec 5.7 had 270k miles and was burning a lot of gas. Mpg had dropped from 14.5 mix driving to 12 mpg. I was reading online about an old timing chain could cause an old engine to burn gas. This made sense because my engine was a little raw at low speed but would run like a boss at higher rpm. When I change the timing chain. I had to advance the cam slightly to install the gear. The engine ran smoother at low rpm and the 14.5 mpg came back after the second fill up. This is when I realized how much vvt matter.
VVT is why DOHC engines suck when it comes to reliability. The VVT solenoids and cam phasers are the last to get oil, get the weakest oil pressure, and are the first to form sludge deposits. That's why Ford has struggled with DOHC V6 and V8 reliability for decades. Even Toyota has struggled with VVT reliability in high output V8's. The VVT system on a pushrod V8 is very close to the oil pump by comparison. Hence why pushrod engines don't have the major problems DOHC engines have.
@@hochhaul Wrong. vvt is the reason Ford DOHC 302 cuin v8 make 1.52 hp/cuin. If the OHV Corvette 6.2 aka 376 cuin v8 made 1.52 hp/cuin. It would make 571 hp. Wrong. Sludge come from people who don't change their oil and or let the engine run low on oil. Wrong. GM OHV engine oil pump sit on the front of the crankshaft just like Ford. GM do have problem with vvt it just to owner are stupid and ride around with the light on thinking they need an o2 sensor.
@@blackericdenice Sorry but you have no idea what you're talking about. Also, who cares how much HP per liter an engine makes. The GM v8 could be 10 liters and make the same HP. As long as it gets better fuel economy and is more compact than the 5.0 Coyote, I'm ok with that. Ps Ford's but and solenoids are the last in line to get oil and are at the top of the engine. The LS and Gen V GM v8's have a VVT system but it's down low and simpler in design. Sinple is good especially when you're offroad.
@@hochhaul When ever someone tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about. They are not old enough to drive. People don't buy V8 Mustangs looking for mpg. That more compact bs is what GM say to their customers to take their mind off the fact that. A much smaller engine is making as much hp as their larger old design engine. Just like GM has a turbo engine in their full size truck. They always end up doing what Ford has already done.
I think you mean "active" fuel management, as in cylinder deactivation. I would hope all motors have air/fuel management, 😆. Lots of good info, you know a lot about the LS/LT motors. Thanks for the video.
Yes technically it's active fuel management your right. They use to call it dod or displacement on demand. Then we have Chrysler MDS and all the other manufacturers nomenclature it gets confusing but basically it's all about cylinder deactivation.
Unbelievable tutorial. You Sir are one very smart individual. I have a new vette with the LT1 and have learned so much from you, i am trying to figure out how to keep dirty side crankcase fumes from getting into the intake to help keep the intake valves and system cleaner. If you ever get a chance to speak on this I would be very great full. thank you.
Man these dudes thought of everything!!! Great job fellas! If I need an all in one solution for a jeep in the future, I am definitely recommending you guys. LT kit FTW though for the superior cooling and higher compression.
You are great describing those engines, If these engines has an ecu that can shut-off half of the cylinders and reduce injector pressure, those engines would be an amazing everyday driving in a car plus insane powerful output engines
Putting a 5.3 in my XJ mated to the original 5 speed was the best modification I've done. No oil leaks, better reliability, much better fuel economy and obviously way more power. All that and it gained no weight in the front end over the old 4.0
Thank you WranglerJKLS for the excellent and thorough information. Making Jeeps great again. I wonder if the mpg are improving a little with the LS swaps? Anyone have real experience?
There are a lot of variables when it comes to mpg, weight, altitude, drag.... but my usual answer is whatever your getting with the V6 you should get 1-3 mpg better with the V8. The V8 having more cubic inches is less stressed and works less, especially in a heavy JK. We see more dramatic gains in heavy JK's with 40's because the V8 can stay closed loop running off the O2's turning lower rpm's where a V6 would rev up and go into performance enrichment. With some alcohol in our gas the stoich point is about 14.2:1 where open loop is closer to 12:1 AFR.
I had a LT1 and 4L60E out of an interceptor Caprice that I got slightly deeper into than planned. After reworking the engine and completely upgrading the trans and pumpkin, It would leave 6 inch stripes going into gear, and still roast tires if the pedal was dropped going 60. Only down-side was the local law noticed, and it got expensive, extremely quickly.
It's as if GM's small block engineers design their engines with the understanding that they aren't just designing an engine for a GM vehicle, they're designing an engine that will eventually end up in dozens of other non-GM vehicles. Changes between generations are small enough to not break compatibility completely. No segmented aftermarket where you need to know which plant the engine was assembled in, the date it was assembled on, the guy that put it together, etc (I'm looking at you Ford). These engine are like Lego blocks. You build whatever you need or can afford.
hochhaul yep... been a stout big block gear head... but these are starting to creep into my view... my current big block has 520 ft lbs at 2800rpm, cubic inches!! But.... DANG!!
@@ruscoleman1741 considering the millions upon millions of vehicles on the road powered by these engines, the rust belt and wrecks are going to make a lot of these available for swaps
Hey mr. tech. knowledge guy, nice explanatory of newer engine electronic, & component internal working overview of both engines on the many difference's things a mechanic that's ase certified should know working on newer and updated engine's! nice explanation........
i think GM confuses people with the LT1 designation. there is the LT-1 from the early 1970's, basically a "hot" factory 350, then there is the gen II small block LT1 which is a redesign of the 350 (actually i real strong engine, i have a 1996 camaro Z28 and i actually like that engine), and then there is the current LT1. very confusing.
Yup, I thought this video was going to be a comparison between the gen II LT and the LS platform until about 8 minutes in and I still didn't see a 90s era LT1/LT4 like I was looking for.
Oh, one other thing or question. When these swaps are done, how hard is the vehicle inspection process. What does the computer think it is? What engine management software is being used.
Depends on your inspection process, what jurisdiction are you in? We follow USEPA engine change guidelines and are working with the BAR and CARB in California for 50 state compliance. The powertrain(including transmission) run GM modules, operating systems and calibrations as required by the USEPA. The vehicle can be diagnosed like the GM donor vehicle using GM tools and software. There is no hybriding or hacking of the OS like with some swaps. The powertrain runs a GM engine and transmission not a Chrysler transmission and the harnesses are GM not hand built hot rod type. We maintain the redundancy and failure modes of the donor powertrain.
I like the wand you use. Is that from the very famous show? How much is the magical properties in the wand as far as you using the wand on that engine ?
Forgot the 5.3L 327 and 4.8L 283 brought them back for there geometry has less friction on cylinder walls and crank ,that equals higher rpm with less vibration.
So is the ecotech (the core block) (not including anything else) a block that has been previously used? I keep asking what the difference is and no one will tell me anything besides the vvt and di. Like the core block, has it been used before?
I wouldn't mind having a LT4 for my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubion. Love GM engines I know they are reliable, and I think I'd get better gas mileage on the v8 than the V6 PentaStar I get around 13 mpg on a good day.
I’m confused about you mentioning if the engine has “air fuel management” don’t all fuel injected engines have an air fuel management system? I think you’re referring to the DOD system? What is that sensor for? What does it do?
Bob Quattrini Your opinion is in the minority. I don't own a vehicle with either the LS or LT engines. But from those I know that have them, they keep running just fine despite hard use. The only person I know who had trouble frequently revved his at 5500+ RPM for prolonged periods when towing a 10,000 pound trailer up several thousand feet elevation gains. The towing wasn't the problem. But his insistence on maintaining 65 to 70 mph while climbing was. This forced the transmission to downshift a couple of gears to bring the engine to max RPM and max horsepower. Eventually, one of his lifters failed. After the lifter was replaced, it has run fine for 2 years now.
GM's pushrod engine is popular because it is CHEAP. The disadvantages are that with one cam, you cannot have separate valve timing for the intake and exhaust valves, and the combustion chambers are wedge-shaped versus hemispherical, like a Hemi or a DOHC setup.
first, its a great explanation. wish there would be more of those. I have the LS3 GenIV. I think the LT run cooler due to improved cooling and a huge effect of the Direct Injection
How do you link up the GM ecm to the chrysler bcm? Or is this not necessary? What about stock pedals, can they wire up to GM ecm? What about transfer cases, stock or upgraded?
These are the truck and SUV can you show the LS and LT4 car engines cause I am pretty sure that the car engines don't have all those sensors you pointed out
Is there an a/c mount like you have lower left side but for a L96 motor. I have an L96 in my humvee but the motor had to be shifted to passenger side slightly. No room for a/c compressor. Left side mount would be perfect.
So.... does this engine have a timing chain and gears? Like the older sbc motors had? Or is the camshaft free of the crankshaft and totally controlled by the phaser?...
There is a hell of a lot of information here! Thumbs up for the presentation! Some questions: In swapping to an LS or LT engine, does the transfer case need to be upgraded and if so, to what? (e.g. NP 205, NP 208 ) What axle is recommended (e.g. Dana 60)? What was the first year that the LT engine used direct injection?
They jacked the compression up to the point they had to lower it with variable cam timing and ignition to get it to run on pump gas. Doesn't this defeat the purpose?
I understand you are talking about the lt platform, but my lnf 4cyl is direct injection and boy you should see the valves. I used to see oil in the inlet of the turbo and thought it was a leaving seal, I was wrong. Installed a catch can and weekly its have several ounces in it.

These are the truck and SUV can you show the LS and LT4 car engines cause I am pretty sure that the car engines don't have all those sensors you pointed out
Is there an a/c mount like you have lower left side but for a L96 motor. I have an L96 in my humvee but the motor had to be shifted to passenger side slightly. No room for a/c compressor. Left side mount would be perfect.
What’s your contact information or maybe a website?
So.... does this engine have a timing chain and gears?
Like the older sbc motors had?
Or is the camshaft free of the crankshaft and totally controlled by the phaser?...
Best part "400 ftlbs off idle" delicious!!
Is there an "ejaculation catch canister" for the LT yet??
There is a hell of a lot of information here! Thumbs up for the presentation! Some questions:
In swapping to an LS or LT engine, does the transfer case need to be upgraded and if so, to what? (e.g. NP 205, NP 208 )
What axle is recommended (e.g. Dana 60)?
What was the first year that the LT engine used direct injection?
The LT Gen V engines (DI only LS V8's) are found in 2014+ GM vehicles. The trucks used the L83 5.3, L86 6.2 and LV3 4.3 V6. The cars used the LT1 6.2.
They jacked the compression up to the point they had to lower it with variable cam timing and ignition to get it to run on pump gas. Doesn't this defeat the purpose?
I'm a Ford coyote guy, here to learn about the competition.
Not a 2 stage oil pump. That is a Oil Control Valve that regulates a continuously Variable Vane Oil pump.
Very good info and video.
What trans and transfer case are yall using?
I understand you are talking about the lt platform, but my lnf 4cyl is direct injection and boy you should see the valves. I used to see oil in the inlet of the turbo and thought it was a leaving seal, I was wrong. Installed a catch can and weekly its have several ounces in it.
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY this guy knows his shit.
Infomercial for their parts.
Damn so much good info!
That lt1 looks different than the lt1 off my 94 impala, after they the same?
what is the different between l92 and l94 and what is the past? and please cab you but the differents by points ?
