The LS Engine: A Powerhouse of Performance
Let's kick things off with the heart of the matter—the LS engine. Respected and praised by car enthusiasts, the LS engine found its origins in GM vehicles, earning widespread popularity. Its affordability and availability make it a go-to choice for engine swaps.
Why Swap in an LS Engine?
Before the LS engine era, first and second-generation Small Block Chevy (SBC) engines were often used for swaps. However, the LS engine revolutionized the game with its cost-to-horsepower ratio and performance capabilities. Interchangeable parts across various LS-style GM engines further fueled its acceptance.
The Porsche 944: A Unique Sports Car
Introduced in 1982, the Porsche 944 brought a unique twist to the sports car world with its balanced drivetrain, exceptional handling, and balanced power distribution. Autocross and track enthusiasts embraced it, but the 944 had a drawback—lackluster power from its small four-cylinder engine. The belt-driven timing setup also posed reliability issues.
How is an LS Swap the Solution?
Enter the LS engine. Inspired by the success of the LS1 engine in the Chevrolet Corvette, someone had a brilliant idea—to transplant the LS V8 engine into the Porsche 944, essentially creating a mini-Corvette. And thus, the Porsche 944 LS Swap was born.
