Not bashing the LT at all but it’s got some big shoes to fill. I’m not a jeep guy by any means so idk about integration issues with LS swaps with them but I’d think that’s on the installer. The power, proven reliability, affordability , availability, aftermarket support and so much more is still in the LS’s favor.

This perfect been waiting for bugs to get worked out of LS

I acquired an L8T brand new from the factory that had fallen off its crate and the intake was damaged, so they stored it and eventually forgot to write a report and the engine basically became the dealerships. My younger brother notified me and a few months later I now have the thing sitting on a stand in my garage. Chevy factory warranty included. Now I must find a newer jeep to install it into. Thinking gladiator on one ton axles

Ah ok, glad I found this, now I understand my son a bit more. He has a 2020 Rubicon, it was a recovered jeep, no motor, trans, wheels, suspension, interior... He eventually went with a truck as a donor for his motor, and completed it last year as his senior year and 4th and final year of auto shop, and welding class, project. He also bought an older Ram, that had cab damage, and swapped a c30 crew cab onto it, shortened the frame, he started fabbing a utility tray before summer, in april...and it hasnt been touched since hahaha. His auto shops teacher? Hes old school yes, but his son was an engineer at dodge, was at srt if I remember correctly. He then went to Toyota, and now works for a fire arms mfr. But he and his son had been doing swaps of newer 5.7 6.4 and 6.2s into different things. His son, that engineer helped my son swap a 6.2 from a jeep trackhawk into his 57 belair, that belonged to my mother since new. Its awd. I dont understand the engineering to well but I love it! Hes broken it down after taking it on hot rod power tour, finally going to get it painted and cleaned up! He has a base model jeep gladiator he bought as a theft recovery again, he wants to do a cummins swap in, and monster tires. He has a uhaul truck he wants to cummins, and build a tinyhouse tow rig for use for events and such. He wants to make a lighter and stronger box before he grads from college, so thats a while away. He has a miata with an ls1, that isnt complete... an older 2dr jeep that belonged to my other son, he swapped a 22R-E from a toyota? Into, because it was free at his pt job at our county wrecker. He sent me your way to watch videos! Glad I did as I said! Man, all you guys do wild stuff! Here I am happy with my '23 Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo, bone stock for our ranch property. And my stock sport s hahaha! My 72 challenger I got in high school, doesnt run, been thinking of doing something weird like maybe 4x4 that bastard, freak my sons out? I dunno. I wish there was a regular cab jeep truck, with a longer and slightly wider bed, maybe fold down and removeable? I was dragged up to overland expo a couple months ago, and I saw the danged weirded jeep, a regular carb, shorty with only a utility basket tray, very small. My young son the budding frankenstein builder said "dad, just buy a 2 dr jeep and I can hack it up for you, give me the new hijet for labor!" hahaha that sneaky little shit.... Hes also looking for a 3500 reg cab utl truck, no bed, he wants to build his own AEV style truck, he sold all his harley bastard bikes, and his hondas and yamahas this past summer. Only bikes he has left are a stock 48 sportster, a crf300, a trail 125, and his older sisters R1. His 91 mustang took a dump, and hes swapping a 5.7 from a challenger rt into it hahaha, and he wants to do a hellcat swap into his 74c10 step side thats dead and cobwebbing in MY workshop...my tractor and other stuff are outside hahaha... Hopefully see you guys next year at OLX! Now that I got to see what you guys do!

Make sure to install an air/oil separator that drains the oil back to the crankcase after it's been separated because you'll get excessive carbon buildup from the crankcase ventilation on the backside of the intake valves and ports. For truck engines, the torque band should be down low not up at 4100.

@RadDadisRad

Love the mark dice music!😎

As an additional option: GM's relatively new 4.3l LV1 and LV3 V6's are space-conscious alternatives that are seriously worth considering. The new LV1/LV3 have ditched the architecture of the previous generations and gone straight to LT-based architecture. Out of the box, you're getting a 3.921" bore x 3.622" stroke (should sound VERY familiar for those that know LS1 dimensions), 285HP (5300 rpm) and 305 lb-ft (3900 rpm), and Scoggin Dickey Performance Center has already produced aftermarket cam grinds to sell to the market. Making this engine nearly bulletproof is relatively simple since the piston/con rod dimensions near exactly mirror original LS1 interrnal dimensions, meaning that sourcing bottom end parts (if you want) wouldn't be that hard to do. Has the same deck height as the LT's (9.025") which is also near exactly the same. TL;DR: Gm's new era 4.3l V6 offers just as much if not more power than the 4.8l V8 it replaces, and utilizes a lot of LS1 internal dimensions. Lots of untapped performance to be had there.

@OndreaS123

I'm also interested in the LV1 for swaps, I hope more support comes around for them. some things I think would help reliability would be 1) a balance shaft eliminator, 2) a standard oil pump paired with oil pans, (eliminates the variable volume solenoid to simplify it ) & 3) a port injection intake. what's not to like? 100 lbs lighter than an aluminum LS and almost the same power as a stock 4.8

I think I've heard tat the Lt engine has something like 300Lb/ft of torque from 1000rpm just what you want for rock crawling (like a diesel engine) where you want slow speed and good torque tand then they have the 6.6L i think it should make like 370Lb/ft @ 1000rpm (this is almost the torque of an unmodified Ls engine at maybe 4000rpm) very impressive for me

Lighter than a hemi. Torque lower and smoother in the power band. Easier cooling. Lower cost. Seems like once the computer interface is solved, the Chevy is the obvious choice. What's the catch?

Great Video! So LT swap for the Gladiator? Is it as compatible as with the JK platform?

This is great, but I already have a vehicle fleet that uses the 6L90 transmision paired with the 6.0 vortec LY6 (basically, an LS based small block engine for HD trucks and SUVs). I love that drivetrain for being reliable as hell and having all the LS based aftermarket support already well stablished. So... does anybody knows a company that makes a good kit to be able to run that drivetrain in a JL or JT jeep? Im planning to add those 2 vehicles to my "fleet" and get them the LY6 with the 6L90 as soon as their drivetrain fails (either transmission or engine). Cuz I plan to keep every single one of those vehicles forever.

I'm just not seeing a benefit to an LS swap any more. A few years ago they were cheap and you could find lots of low mile engines. Now a used LS with 100k is $2500+ here in New England, not much less than an LT. Add in the cost of freshening up the LS and it comes out to the same cost as a low mileage LT. I'm no GM fan but these engines have proven themselves, far more than any of the Hemis. While the LT won't increase fuel mileage for everyday driving much, it should be a lot better when we tow our small camper with our JK. The 14-15mpg we get every day running 38s is pretty impressive, but the 8-10mpg with the camper really hurts. Economy isn't my main reason for doing a swap- power to turn the tires and pull the camper better is- but a little increase in MPG would be a nice benefit.

Put a 2.7l tt from the f150 in it, light with tons of power

I would tend to agree that the LT will be the new standard Chevy swap. But the LS is still easy to find for cheap. The 8L80 though should be the standard auto trans used in chevy swap. forget anything else save for the T56 ofcourse.
