Re: LS Information

So I have done both 3 and 4th gen LS swaps. Current project is a 80 Camaro with a 2012 6.2 with a 4L60E swap. Small cam headers. Runs great.
The 4th gen LS engines are 58 tooth crank gear. That means you need a ECM for engine control and a TCM for 4L60E trans control. Not really an issue. My 80 runs great.
But and there always is one I would buy a "core" gen 3 6.0 and do a mild rebuild. The 3 gen engines have a 24 tooth crank gear. That means you need one ECM for engine and trans control. Keep the original heads or upgrade to L92 heads. Small cam and headers and you will have an easy 400-420 rwhp that will be super easy to tune. 2800 billet stall converter. 3.73 gears.
Built 4L60E.
Aftermarket harness from one of the suppliers on this site or LS1tech.com. I like and use Speartech and Howell.
