Are LS Swaps Easy?
That’s a question we get all the time — and the answer is: it depends.
If you’re working on a Chevy Silverado like the one we’ve got in the shop today, the answer is yes — LS swaps are actually pretty easy. These trucks were built with LS engines in mind. Sure, some Silverados come with V6s from the factory, but with just a few changes — motor mounts, a couple of exhaust manifolds, a new computer and wiring harness — you can drop an LS right in without too much trouble.
That’s why we love working on Silverados. They’re practically made for it.
Now, when it comes to other vehicles, things can get a bit more involved. Depending on the platform, you might need some fabrication work, custom wiring, and fuel system upgrades to make everything run smoothly. Every swap is a little different — and that’s where experience really matters.
I'm Dale, and here at Auto Plex Auto Service, LS swaps are what we do — day in, day out. Whether it's a simple bolt-in job or a full custom build, we've got you covered.
Thanks for stopping by.
