Looking for opinions on which LS crate motors are the easiest/best swaps for NBS trucks? Taking into consideration electronics, harness adapters, extenders, converters from 58x to 24x reluctor wheels, knock sensor relocation and so on. Which ones can be done reasonably easy, all the way to difficult swaps and what it will take to make them work correctly. I'm new to the LS world and looking to soak up some info. Thanks in advance.

Just get you a lq9 6.0 and call it good. No need for adapters/relocating and reluctor wheel conversions

There is so many "Crate Motors" it would be impossible to say which is the best one.

A 6.0 is going to have the most power and torque. So as long as it's set up for a 24X it would pretty much be a bolt in swap.

I have an Lq9 in there now and looking to do something a little different. I quess I'm wondering more about the ls3,ls7 maybe lsa.?.? Your right there are a lot of different crate motors to elaborate on them all. I should have worded that better. So it looks like between the Gen 3,4,5 it's the lq4,lq9,ls2,ls3,ls7 and the LSA. Like I said, just looking to learn some good information from knowledgable people here.

i recently finished up a ls3 upgrade to my existing lq9. havent dyno it yet, just recently got it running at an idle. i put a custome grind comp cam, ported ls3 heads, ls3 intake, yank 3000 stall. I am hoping for 450

Swap heads and intake onto your LQ9 and you have an iron LS3...

Awesome please let me know how it worked out, gotta share dyno #s also!!! I am probably going to go this same route with my build so I'm very interested in yours. Keep me posted. 👍🏼

Yes I'm pretty sure that the direction in going to go. I lucked out and picked up a complete brand new L92 intake manifold from a new crate motor so I'm going to go with square port heads. Iv decided to build a 370 with the forged Pistons, l92 intake manifold, 90mm TB, 42# injectors, custom Pat G cam, and a set of TFS GenX 255 heads milled to 64cc. I'm hoping to make 450whp. Most people I talk to say It should make that pretty easy or more.
