LINK IS AT THE BOTTOM.

So with Chevy's end of research on the LS series, I thought it would post this up. I'm still reading it my self, but thought it would be a good discussion. whats some of your' views on the future of the LS engine that seems to be dominating a big part of the car industry right now. Changes in price, aftermarket production, possible new platform swaps for some people soon?

Maybe we can get lsx swaps for cheap now! since its an outdatted technology

I like how they are going back to the LT designation. Rednecks will be massively confused in years to come.

If this means older gens will be cheaper, Im gonna be excited

tapdeznutz · 11-02-2012, 12:24 PM

I would say if these engines get cheaper i would look into this v8 swap, i mean i would get same gas mileage as my tired KA24E with tons more power. I'm in for updates.

i found out the cheapest way for me too go where i live due too hardly any wrecked vettes,gtos,camaro's, but a gmc envoy has a aluminum 5.3 there about $900, where as a truck iron block 5.3 is $600 but still thats cheap! in my opinion the only way too go if your doing a swap and have a little cash too work with. you cant beat nearly 30mpg and 400hp my ka gets maybe 22 on the highway and 17 in town and its slowwww.

A 5.3L is not exactly cheaper.

The Oil Pan, Intake, exhaust and accessories are utterly worthless in 99.9% of applications. These items will add up to $1000 easily.

The 5.3L makes a great core, and will take boost like no tomorrow, but it's not the smoking gun for a cheap swap. You'll also still need to source a T56 or TKO, both options are also not cheap.

I think it's great. I look forward to the 100 dollar engine days at Harry's Race Pull it Parts, 5.3's are a dime a dozen!
