This is the definitive guide on how to wire your LS Swap sponsored by ‪@SummitRacing‬ I go over every single connection and every single wire. Heck, I even show you how to wire in a different MAP sensor so it will work with an older harness. There is nothing that I do not cover in the this guide hence the long length. I hope you enjoy this video and by the end you will know exactly how to wire a LS Swap into your old hot rod. Thank you so much for watching!

An hour long?! Let’s go!!!

A nice option is a four or five terminal bus bar that you could mount to the firewall, and then connect all those power wires there and a single wire down to the starter, rather than so many terminals connected to the starter lug.

Guys this is by far the best video series on KZfaq, especially for a newbie like myself. I’ve watched every swap video there is. I finally feel like I understand enough to get started. Can’t wait to make my 88 Camaro fly!! It’s a stock 2.8L V6 👎

Great video thanks, so many ls swap how-tos will say “now wire up your swap”. This made it a lot less intimidating especially thinking of it as two separate vehicles.

Awesome video. I got one huge tip. Flat ground straps love to corrode and make huge headaches. Easy quick fix is to put shrink wrap over them to block the environment that loves to corrode them. I seen that problem way to many times to count. Some chevys have a factory strap that is on the driver side rear of block and connects to bottom firewall area. 9x out of 10 when they have a electric problem you go under and look you will see it is nice and green and crumbling apart. That is do to not being covered.

I just bridged ignition in the on position and cranking 12v together from back of the keyed ignition for ecu power up. Saves having a switch that you have to find every time.

EXCELLENT, well-detailed video, but I have a little constructive criticism: All those colored plastic crimp connectors are unsightly. A much better option asthetically is to use "naked" butt connectors and ring terminals with heat shrink tubing. I know it's more labor intensive, but makes your engine and engine compartment look MUCH better (more professional)... With so much effort to do your wiring "right," a little extra work to use naked connectors with heatshrink would be WELL worth it.. :-)

@2carpros Жыл бұрын

Great tip! I use connectors with heat shrink built right in now. They look very nice. Thanks so much for watching Scott!

For ECM hot when cranking, hot when starting.. Can't you just use ignition power from ign switch/ Maybe add a relay if you are concerned about power draw?

@2carpros Жыл бұрын

If your ign switch works that way. This one doesn't work that way. It turns all power off to the car except the starter. Then when released it cuts power to the starter and powers the rest of the car. Thanks for watching Ryan!
