Thinking about swapping an LS engine into an early Camaro or Nova?

It’s not exactly like fitting the proverbial square peg into a round hole, but you will need to have some special parts to ensure proper clearance and maintain the right driveline angle. Luckily, LS swaps have become popular enough that Holley and Hooker have developed a lot of the parts you’ll need to make your swap happen—engine swap headers, LS swap transmission crossmembers, oil pans, and more. Even better, they’ve created a special compatibility chart to show you all the key components you’ll need to put a modern LS in your old school muscle car.

The chart below (click to enlarge) will take the guesswork and time out of searching for LS swap components individually. It even breaks down the components based on the specific engine going into your vehicle.

We call it Quick Tech for a reason.

Happy swapping!
