LTX and LSXPutting LT1s, LS1s, and their variants into Third Gens is becoming more popular. This board is for those who are doing and have done the swaps so they can discuss all of their technical aspects including repairs, swap info, and performance upgrades.
Just picked up a 5.3 from a wrecked '02 Avalanche at the junkyard today. Missing coil packs, oil pan and powersteering but I'm not too worried about those considering I only paid $277 for it. Someone took the dash cluster out so I'm unsure of miles. Had the 706 heads. Can't wait to get the heads off and get it on my engine stand to get a better look.
Just bought a few LS manuals. One on how to build and one on how to swap a LSX. Thought I better be up to speed on the subject before I go out and buy one.
