Working on an LS engine swap project and tired of the hassle of maneuvering heavy real engines for test fitting? This SoloSwap™ Chevy LS mock-up engine is the perfect solution. Weighing in at just 18 pounds for the short block, you can lift it in and out of your vehicle by yourself - no engine hoist required. Imagine being able to test fit your intake manifolds, headers, oil pans, and all other components without the back-breaking effort of dealing with a 400+ pound engine block.
Unlike cheap foam mock-up blocks that often fail when thread inserts pull out of the foam core, this mock-up engine is constructed from heavy-duty 12 gauge steel. This robust design ensures it will last through countless assembly and disassembly cycles, making it a smart long-term investment for any LS engine builder or mechanic. The precision construction accurately replicates all Gen 3 and Gen 4 LS block dimensions, ensuring perfect fitment every time.
Whether you're working with an LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, LSA, or any Vortec truck engine (4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, or 6.2L), this mock-up block has you covered. The short block version accepts all factory and aftermarket LS cylinder heads, giving you maximum flexibility for your specific project. This means you can use it to mock up virtually any LS engine configuration, from car applications to truck swaps.
Installation is straightforward thanks to compatibility with all LS engine bolt-on components. Positioning or fabricating engine mounts becomes a breeze when you're not fighting with a heavy engine. Plus, it ships and stores flat, with simple assembly/disassembly steps that make it easy to transport and store when not in use. This thoughtful design ensures you can focus on what matters - getting your LS swap project done right.
