Being an oldie and stuck in the small block era, I found lots of good info in this book. The specs in the back covers all the models, although the layout in this section is a bit modern and confusing for me. There are some examples of LSs into various cars, I can understand that a Chev into a Jag or Beema would be cheaper, I still believe the V12 would be pure. I think some space taken up with engine mounts is wasted as there are so many kits available, I would like to see a bit more in induction details, I guess that would be another book! All round a good purchase for my car library. A nice detail was the inclusion of our Aussie Holden Comodes/Monaros in the applications, Saab and Hummers too!

There are step by step pictures and illustrations, making for a valuable source of information. Overall, a very good reference material.

I have ben a fan for the ls1 5.7 ever since it debuet in the 1997 vet.The power and fuel economy is just exelant.Im a chevy man and have done a few engine swaps of my own.mostly olds to chevy sb and yanking out v6s and popping in v8.But now i want to play with the mordern stuff.This book is a good guide for the average person getting in to swaping but for others they may fell that they left some important more informive things out, like in-depthly cutting apart and modifing an existing wiring harness from a average f-boby to give us an idea on how to make it simple like on some forums.don't get me wrong this book talks about computers, pin outs and tell u what the computer controls.I rated this book 4 stars, its good info but not perfect. there are some mispelled words throughout,but very informivive. expecially on motor mounts,oil pans,fuel systems,belt drives and popular aplications.Im intending on swaping an ls engine into a older gm car, like a monte carlo,malibu,or older 2nd,3rd gen comero and wan't to stick with fuel injection and a mordern overdrive or 6 speed manual.This book also does a good job on ID ing the engines,so u can find a used engine trans combo off ebay or a local wreking yard.

I enjoyed reading this book a lot.The author is very knowledgeable on the subject. The book covers all the diverse aspects of the LS1 swap and presents the information in a very organized fashion. I could tell from reading that the author has done many swaps himself. I particularly liked the many great color photos, everything that was explained in the text was also shown on color pictures. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in LS1 swaps.
