About the Corvette LS1 Engine Swap

The LS1 powered the C5 Corvette and set the standard for modern GM small-blocks. The 4L60E four-speed automatic was the factory pairing in many GM cars and trucks, so it bolts directly to the LS1 and is supported by a huge range of parts and tuning tools. Together they make a practical, comfortable drivetrain with plenty of performance for cruising and street use.

A Corvette LS1 engine swap is a smart choice for builders who want proven power without the cost of a new crate engine and transmission.

Planning Your Swap

• Choose motor mounts, an oil pan and headers that suit your chassis.
• Arrange a tune that controls both the engine and the 4L60E shift points.
• Confirm the transmission crossmember, cooler lines and driveshaft length.

Installation Tips

Change the transmission fluid and filter, replace the rear main seal and inspect the torque converter before installation. Bleed the cooling system and check fluid levels after the first drive.
