I was given a few books before i started my first time LS swap. Im on probably my 6th one now and even before starting those books made me laugh a few times. Mine just recommended certain products and basically said “you need this to make it work” basically dont bother thinking or trying to make anything because its not possible. For example they said to buy a certain automatic fan switch with a thermocouple to run the electric fans.....i guess there were not aware that ANY of the gm ecu’s have the capability of turning a fan relay on at whatever temp you tell it to via tuning software. Oil pans were a few other funny stories also. Im a well seasoned creative builder for the most part and while reading the books i had I almost feel like some of the info would make people take a more expensive route or be scared or put off on doing a certain swap for fear of complexity. Let me tell you something.....these things are dead simple. If you can swap over a SBC/BBC into something where it wasn’t stock than you are qualified to do the same with a LS. It does help if someone thats done one is available to question, but its honestly easy. I have also been online and picked up LOTS of great info on simple tips and tricks that helped a lot. Just have a open mind while doing research. Thats my 2cents.
****if anyone needs help on one of these feel free to message me. I can steer you in the right direction if i dont have the exact solution to the problem.
