- - LS swap forum? (https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=410556)

There are quite a few LS engine swaps going on. There are a few in the 60-66 section, a few in the 67-72 section, and a few more in the 73+ section. I know many don't venture out of their year group much, myself included. I think if we had a dedicated LS swap section it would be easier for those considering the swap to find information. I have a decent LS swap thread and I still see a few questions that could be easily answered in that thread.

I know there is enough similarity in these swaps that they could all be lumped together?

So what does everyone think?

Re: LS swap forum?

That works for me as well....!:hot:

Re: LS swap forum?

Is there any reason why LSx topic cant be discussed in the Engine & Drivetrain forum?

Probably not (doesn't seem to be working that way now though?) Maybe a sub forum in the engine & drivetrain forum?

Re: LS swap forum?

A Sub Forum in the Engine/Drivetrain forum would be nice. I have been reading as many of the 67-72 build threads that I can about swaps and it just takes a bit more time to sift through them all. Even if guys linked to their build pages in the LS Swap subforum it would save a lot of time for those who are not very good at using the Search tool.

Re: LS swap forum?

I would like a subforum for ls engines in engine/drivetrain.

Re: LS swap forum?

I like that idea most other boards have this since its becoming so popular.

Re: LS swap forum?

I know i would need it...for my swap..whenever that happens

Re: LS swap forum?

I guess the idea isn't going anywhere :(

I even PMed a bunch of people and they all like the idea, none posted in this thread? I tried helping you all out! MY LS is in and running so.......

Re: LS swap forum?

I think its a great idea. LS threads are spread out all over the board.

Re: LS swap forum?

start by linking all the ls threads here. If you all link me all the ls threads, I can work with you. If I have to search years of threads to find them to create an area.. it will be a while. We have to many open projects right now.

Re: LS swap forum?

I think an LS swap area would be awesome!:metal:

Sorry, I am mildly slow with computer things, so I don't know how to post links. :whine::(

Re: LS swap forum?

I like the idea of a sub-forum. I would even volunteer to be a mod for that area too, along with Thealien of course! :D

If I get a chance I can start copying links from the 73-87 section.

Great idea Mark! I like the idea of an all LS swap forum. Seems like it would work.

BTW, congrats on getting your running. Didn't realize you were that close. I guess you didn't need any more parts;)

Re: LS swap forum?

A sub forum would be a great idea and very helpful.

Re: LS swap forum?

I'm sure there are more posts than that. The amount here would warrant a FAQ thread, or sticky post, but not a dedicated forum.

Re: LS swap forum?

Where have I been?!?! I just now saw this...the day that they created the sub forum! :lol:

Glad to see it happened.

Re: LS swap forum?

Just noticed this. Kewl a LS swap forum, I'm there!!!!

Re: LS swap forum?

even though it would be cool to have an LSX forum i think a well writen (truck specific) thread would be better, IE

Engine Mounts
then list all the mount out there with links and possibly pics.

Headers
Then list all the headers with links and pics

Wiring
links to those that do it based on the options they provide.
links to pinouts and wireing diagrams.
then maybe a how to

Transmission mounts
Transmission lengths
then links to those that make em.

yall get the picture this would help with not having to search through every build thread looking for that one sentence that answers your question.

Re: LS swap forum?

Don't forget oil pans :)

I'm not sure if the oil pans have to be changed as often the case with many cars. Here is a link about oil pan info
