Still loving my LS swap! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Houston Ben · 09-29-2017, 10:26 PM

Just wanted to say, I am still happy I did the LS swap. I love driving it cruising at 80 and still being able to get on it and go! Haven't been on here in a while due to work and school, but driving it today just put a smile on my face!

rctrooper1 · 09-30-2017, 12:59 AM

Lovin’ mine too!

**Clyde65** · 09-30-2017, 11:56 AM

Did mine in 2009 and am still enjoying!!

Rich84 · 09-30-2017, 12:27 PM

1325 miles since my 6.0 swap..it's awesome. More power then I need and better fuel economy then the TPI 5.0 liter I had. I do want to upgrade the brakes though..

Indian113 · 09-30-2017, 12:40 PM

I have put almost 30,000 miles on my S10 since I put the 5.3 in it. Thinking Real Strong on putting one in my 64 before the 350 dies!

**mongocanfly** · 09-30-2017, 01:17 PM

got about 10k on my 6.0 swap..no regrets..

BR3W CITY · 09-30-2017, 03:57 PM

Over 5 years, 4 configurations, and like 16-17k miles. Still killen 'em

Houston Ben · 09-30-2017, 09:43 PM

Rich84, I need to upgrade mine as well. 6.0 would have been nice but wasn't in the cards. I do have a buddy who's Denali caught fire on the inside that has a 6.2 in it that I am seeing if the insurance will let him buy back...

ls1nova71 · 10-01-2017, 01:48 PM

I still love all of mine too. Got about 30k on the Rusty '71swb and still going strong, but I drive my '33 more. It just hit the 100k mark about a month ago, has a 2001 LS1/4l60e in it.

**mongocanfly** · 10-01-2017, 02:17 PM

^^^^that 33 is nice^^^^

I didn't mean to hijack the thread, but since it's your thread I guess it's alright? Anyway, here's a few pics for you. I had to pull these pics off FB and just realized they are old, before the cruise control was added.

72MARIO · 10-03-2017, 09:17 PM

I remember that feeling the first time out in the suburban Still have it at the top of the mountain a year later I don't know how many miles but it's been on 2 big road trips. The first the day after completing the swap them towing the camper to PA..
I think it's the First LS swapped 68 suburban to the top of Mt. Washington

**Advanced Design** · 10-03-2017, 09:38 PM

I like both of mine, just don't drive them enough.

suburban99 · 10-03-2017, 11:50 PM

Mine runs excellent just have to get the suspension sorted out...too rough for me.
Thumbs up every time I drive it. Loving' it!

BR3W CITY · 10-01-2017, 03:42 PM

Dude I remember the thread on Ls1Tech when that 33 project started. People either loved or hated it, and I still think its rad AF.

Rich84 · 10-04-2017, 11:30 AM

Went on my longest trip yet..About 175 miles of country roads with 2 new Corvettes and a 2017 Camaro SS. They told me that the only reason they let my old jalopy go with them was because I have a LS..LOL

Houston Ben · 10-04-2017, 09:06 PM
