{"product_id":"how-to-swap-gm-lt-series-engines-into-almost-anything","title":"How to Swap GM LT-Series Engines into Almost Anything","description":"The GM LS engine has dominated the crate and\nengine-swap market for the past 20 years, and now the\nnew LT engine has become a popular crate engine for\nswap projects as well. As essentially the next-generation\nLS, the LT features a compact footprint, lightweight\ndesign, and traditional V-8 pushrod architecture similar to\nits predecessor, so it swaps easily into many classic cars,\nhot rods, and even foreign sports cars.\n\nThe new LT1\/LT4 takes a bold step forward in technology,\nusing active fuel management, direct injection, an\nupgraded ignition system, continuous variable valve timing,\nand a wet- or dry-sump oiling system. With this advanced\ntechnology and higher performance, more engine\nswappers are using the LT platform. Swapping expert\nand longtime author Jefferson Bryant presents thorough\ninstruction for each crucial step in the LT swap process.\n\nAlthough the new LT shares the same basic engine\ndesign with the LS, almost all of the LT engine parts have\nbeen revised and updated. As a result, the mounting process\nhas changed substantially, including motor-mount\nlocation, K-member mounting process, and component\nclearance; all these aspects of the swap are comprehensively\ncovered. All other important aspects of the swap\nprocess are covered, including accessory drives and\ncooling systems, engine management systems, tuning\nsoftware, controllers, and exhaust, so you can install the\nLT in popular GM A- and F-Body platforms as well as\nalmost any other chassis. Solutions for the major swapping\nchallenges, parts compatibility, and clearance issues\nare provided.\n\nMuscle car, hot rod, truck, and sports car owners have\nembraced the new LT platform and the aftermarket has\nfollowed suit with a wide range of products to facilitate\nswap projects. This book affords comprehensive guidance\nso you can complete a swap with confidence.\n\n• First-ever book on LT swaps\n• LT engines are an evolutionary upgrade to the LS\nplatform\n• Crate engine and transmission combos are thoroughly\ncovered","brand":"CarTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32580922966087,"sku":"14493","price":26.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/14493.jpg?v=1772262011","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/bs\/products\/how-to-swap-gm-lt-series-engines-into-almost-anything","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
