Impala, Caprice, Camaro, & Chevelle LS Engine Swap Performance Intakes From Spectre
- Sep 29, 2015
The first generation of Chevrolet small-block engines began with the 1955 Chevrolet 265 cubic inch V8 offered in the Corvette and Bel Air. That original Chevy small-block engine has become retroactively referred to as the Generation I small-block, as it is distinctly different from subsequent Generation II LT, Generation III/IV LS, and the most current Generation V LT/EcoTec3 engines. The third generation Chevrolet small block LS engine was first introduced for 1997 in the first year C5 Corvette. Although, the LS1 engine shared little in common with its predecessors, both the Gen III and subsequent Gen IV LS engine has become an increasingly popular option for muscle car enthusiasts looking for a lighter, more powerful, and more modern power plant.
It almost goes without saying that a Gen III/IV LS engine swap into a classic mid-1960’s to early 1970’s Chevrolet muscle car or pickup truck is going to require some amount of custom fabrication and adaptation. One obstacle that will need to be overcome for an LS engine swap is that in the 1960’s, up through the 1980’s, cars and trucks were carbureted and the air cleaner assembly sat directly on top of the engine. This means that figuring out how to supply a modern fuel-injected LS engine with plenty of cool airflow is going to be a little trickier once it’s dropped into a car without the proper provisions. Luckily Spectre Performance has an easy solution for classic Chevrolet muscle car owners looking for modern LS engine power.
