An LS swap is a type of engine swap using any form factor of General Motors's LS V8 engine series. [1] [2] Motor Trend noted in 2020 that "the Chevy LS V-8 engine has become the de facto engine swap suggestion for anyone seeking to add power to their existing platform" due to the engine's relatively compact size and light weight.

The police package (9C1) B-body cars featured a First Gear Block Out (FGBO) Plate on the transmission housing to prevent drivetrain damage. The shift point for first to second gear is about 43 MPH (69 km/h) while second to third gear shift point is about 83 MPH (134 km/h) assuming a 3.08:1 differential and a 5,500 RPM engine speed limit.
Weighing 1,350 lb (610 kg), with a 525–550 hp (391–410 kW) iron block and head engine positioned near the car's polar moment of inertia for responsive turn pivoting, a Hewland 5-speed magnesium transaxle, and 10 in (254.0 mm) wide 13 in (330.2 mm) front/20 in (508.0 mm) wide 15 in (381.0 mm) rear magnesium wheels, it produced incredibly ...
The "LS" nomenclature originally came from the Regular Production Option (RPO) code LS1, assigned to the first engine in the Gen III engine series. The LS nickname has since been used to refer generally to all Gen III and IV engines, [14] but that practice can be misleading, since not all engine RPO codes in those generations begin with LS. [15]
The 2.2l S10/Sonoma had the starter located in the same position as front wheel drive cars. A rear wheel drive bellhousing is displayed at right, and the integrated front wheel drive bellhousing is displayed at the lower right (in this case, as a part of the GM 6T70 Transmission). GM 60-Degree 2.8/3.1/3.4/3.5/3.9 L V6 (also used by AMC) Buick ...
The 8L 90 is the first 8-speed automatic transmission built by General Motors. It debut in 2014 and is designed for use in longitudinal engine applications, either attached to the front-located engine [3] with a standard bell housing or mounted in the rear of the car adjacent to the differential (as in the Corvette). It features a hydraulic ...
The TH400 was phased out for the 1980 models, when the A-727 replaced the TH-400 as the only automatic transmission option for both the SJ Wagoneer/Cherokee wagons and the J-10/J-20 trucks. Internally similar to the Chrysler A-727, the case was one-piece, cast with an AMC pattern bellhousing (not interchangeable with a Chrysler pattern A-727).
The change most likely occurred during the 1990 model run with early 1990 models receiving 21-spline transmission and later models receiving 23-spline. If swapping transmissions in 1990 model year vehicles either swap the transfer case as well or make sure to check spline count.
