How many LSx's have you owned?
Simple question, list them out!
I've had 8 of them. The worst problem I've had from the engine in any of them was a check engine light on the 98 T/A that was on when I bought it. I changed the AIR check valves in the exhaust manifold and that was it (Tranny was starting to go too....but that's not the engines fault....or maybe it is ) 99 Trans Am 01 Formula 99 Corvette FRC 05 Silverado 98 Trans Am 68 C-10 (5.3L from '05 Avalanche) 09 G8 03 Suburban The Suburban has the most miles of any of them...currently at 134k and still going strong. I sold the Corvette with ~103k on it and the 98 T/A with ~105k it. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of these engines. |

Re: How many LSx's have you owned?
Four swaps.
(1)I did a 5.3 4l60 in my 71 truck a few years ago. Had some piston slap when cold, I tried very hard to blow it up to justify installing my 6.0. Never could hurt it. (2) The 6.0 in same truck. (3) LS1 from 04 GTO with 6 speed in a 91 ppv. Bone stock only headers and k&n dynoed 347 hp. (4) ls1 from 01 trans am in a 71 firebird BTW once installed never had to turn a wrench on any of these. Only work I do to them is oil changes every 5k or upgrades here and there. |
