Ls3

I am thinking of buying a LS and a tr6060 out of a low mile camaro 2014 for my project. Is there anything to look out for or to make sure I get or do to get this engine swap done in my car. Never had a efi hot rod so I am very green at this will be a lot of learning to make this happen. Please any and all advice welcome.

Just be aware that supercharged builds cost considerably more than NA builds. Been there, done that…

No super charge engine for me.

Try to get everything from the car. Radiator, fuel pump, throttle pedal, brake master and booster oh and definitely get the ECM and engine wire harness. I’d also get the headers and O2 sensors both sets. The part out place most likely won’t charge you anymore since all this stuff is junk but if you can use it and don’t have to buy it, it’ll save you bunch of money in the long run. Also get all the accessories alternator, AC compressor, power steering pump etc and the whole front drive. Again you won’t know what will and won’t work/fit until you get the engine in there. Also it’s much cheaper to buy a relocation kit rather than a whole front drive kit with accessories.

Also look into vaporworx for fuel controller it’s well worth it than buying an aftermarket pump that’s running at 100% all the time and spending money on return lines.

Not say you shouldn't buy the engine and trans but keep in mind the shifter doesn't mount directly to the trans. And if I understand correctly the drive shaft yoke is not a slip yoke style.

The LSA engine you mentioned in your original post is supercharged.

It’s going in a Willy’s truck. I did not figure most would even care. It will have a tube chassis on under it so it really just a cool street rod.

So people could offer feedback on oil pans, mounts, accessory drives and such....
