Mix and match parts for your LS engine to maximize power on a budget! With its debut in 1997, the General Motors LS-series engine arguably became the most popular V-8 engine in the world. It was first offered in Corvettes and then migrated to the entire General Motors lineup (where V-8s were offered), and millions have been manufactured. These engines are compact, powerful, and abundantly available through salvage yards and crate-engine programs. Due to being manufactured for more than 20 years, many versions of the LS-engine platform exist, including more than 30 variants. Many parts are interchangeable, but some are not. In LS Engine Parts Interchange: 1997-2020, veteran LS-engine authors Joseph Potak and Jefferson Bryant present a wealth of knowledge regarding which parts work well together and which parts do not. Parts that are covered include engine blocks, rotating assemblies, cylinder heads, camshafts and the valvetrain, oiling systems, intake manifolds, electronic engine controls, and more. Which cam works best for your application? Perhaps you are interested in building a stroker with factory parts. Can you retrofit the free-flowing Gen IV heads onto a Gen III block? This book covers each of these topics. If you would like to extract more horsepower using all factory parts, if you want to plan for a swap, or if you simply want to know more about the entire LS engine family, this book is a vital resource.…

After nearly 20 years of production, the GM LS series engine is wildly popular today. Not only have these engines proven to be durable and reliable but they are also a fantastic platform for modification and for swapping in older chassis. With millions of used engines in salvage yards, the available number of cores or assembled engines for a reasonable price has never been higher.
While General Motors has updated the platform repeatedly over the last two decades, usually a good thing, the sheer number of changes has created an environment that it is really confusing to the average hobbyist. With these engines being very modern, the concept of what fits with what is beyond the scope for most without some serious help. In LS Engine Parts Interchange: 1997-Present, LS author and expert Joseph Potak talks you through the myriad of options when looking at this complex platform.
Text covers engine blocks, crankshafts and rotating assemblies, cylinder heads and valvetrain for both cathedral port and rectangular port heads, camshafts and componentry including VVT technology, oiling systems, induction and injection, electronics and engine controls, superchargers, external engine accessories, and more. Before jumping into a swap, selecting a salvage yard motor, choosing a crate motor, converting Gen III heads to Gen IV, or swapping any components for performance improvements, make sure you have this book handy. It will prove to be a valuable resource for years to come.
