Too Afraid to Ask

An LS swap means putting a Chevy or GMC LS engine into a car that didn’t originally have it. It’s a common way to make the car stronger and easier to fix.

Technical Definition

An LS swap is a popular automotive modification where the engine from a Chevrolet or GMC vehicle (the small-block LS series) is installed into a different car that originally had another engine. This swap often provides more power, better reliability, and easier maintenance than the stock engine.
