Has anyone done a LS3 swap in a Gen3?

What horsepower gains did you receive?

I did an OU812 in 1988.

Is it really a "horsepower gain" when you change out the whole motor?

I wish we had more car threads here.
I’ve never done an LS swap, but I’ve always wanted to do one into a Jeep.

LS3s put out over 400rwhp, I think, compared to about 200 from a stock TPI motor. So you're looking at doubling your power, at a minimum.
You are almost doubling your torque as well, so you'll certainly need a different transmission. IDK what people use... T-56? Built 700-R4?
Probably need some subframe connectors or something, too, and welded-in ones at that.
Is it worthwhile? Well, it's probably as worthwhile as an engine swap gets. People are putting those LS engines into everything.
Personally I'd probably just work on the TPI, but that's just me and I don't have thousands of dollars I'm wanting to spend on a Camaro.

I did the 69 with one of the female B52s in a dream once.

LS engines are the GOAT.
Cheap to modify, Easy to work on.
Reliable as they come.

Yeah I'd like to find a 87-90 IROC with the Ls3 already installed. I got cash money

Bout to put an LS in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. 420hp 6.2 from a Denali with an 8 speed automatic.

Damn Hoss I bet she'll haul arse!
Nice!
Nice!
Posted on 1/8/20 at 10:20 pm to BayouRat15
It’s really not a light vehicle with the big bumpers, winch and 35” tires but it’ll still move with 420 horses
Posted on 1/8/20 at 10:28 pm to NorthEnd
You must ride in sloppy holes!
Posted on 1/8/20 at 10:38 pm to BayouRat15
Not really. I use it off-road for hunting only-nothing too major. Just love LS motors. The stock v6 says it has 285hp but it’s pretty weak and sounds pathetic.
