Automotive enthusiasts who've followed hot-rodding trends over the last decade know that GM's LS-series engine is the most popular swap on the market. Similar to the first-generation small-block Chevy engines that were swapped into Model A Fords back in the day, these swaps are arguably just as popular. While kits and the aftermarket help with the logistics and the placement of hardware (such as motor mounts, oil pans, and headers), the area that remains a mystery to most is how to wire and electronically control your swapped LS project. In "LS Gen III Engine Wiring Systems: 1997-2007" from SA Design, expert Mike Noonan helps demystify the entire complicated process. Extensively covered are terms and tools of the trade, advice on quality connections, detailed coverage of all the engine control modules offered, drive-by-wire systems, harness connectors, and cruise-control systems. Also covered in-depth are air-conditioning systems, cooling-system fan operation, transmission interfaces and connectivity, and control-module programming (tuning) for standalone operation. Featuring wiring diagrams and computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) artwork—as well as an appendix with real-world projects and examples—this 192-page guide covers all the bases. Whether you're performing a simple swap that utilizes only the basics, a more complex project with all the bells and whistles, or simply want a working knowledge of how these systems work, the guide will be a valuable resource for years to come. It contains 267 color photos and 80 wiring diagrams.

The modern Hemi Gen III 5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L, and Hellcat engines produce amazing amounts of horsepower and torque, and current electronic engine controls produce exceptional reliability and respectable fuel economy.

Specifically, Hemi engines can be easily installed in classic A-Body, B-Body, and E-Body Mopar muscle cars. SA Design's New Hemi Engine Swaps: How to Swap 5.7, 6.1, 6.4 and Hellcat Engines into Almost Anything expertly guides you through each crucial step of the engine-swap process, so that the swap can be completed on a budget and with minimum hassle. Selecting the right adapter plates and motor mounts for a specific project car is essential, as is choosing or fabricating a transmission crossmember. Mopar stalwart and engine-swapping expert Joe Hinds explains how to select and adapt these components. He also explains how to integrate the engine wiring harness to the chassis wiring harness and install the EFI system componentry, including the electric fuel pump, high-pressure lines, fuel filters, and other parts. In addition, you are shown how to install drive-by-wire pedals and how to upgrade springs, shocks, and sway bars for a fully sorted high-performance Hemi. All parts adapting and retrofitting is thoroughly covered. The modern Hemi engine is lighter, stronger, and offers far better drivability and performance than older Mopar V8 engines. You don't want to waste time, and you want the best performance for your dollar. Using this book, filled with detailed instructions and over 400 full-color photos, you can confidently swap this engine into any classic Mopar or muscle car.

All too often, when an enthusiast builds a high performance engine, swaps a more powerful engine into a car, or mounts sticky tires, the driveline components simply can't handle the added torque and fail. In addition, the differential, axles, and driveline parts have a limited life span under the power of a high performance engine. Also, the proper gear ratios need to be selected and installed for maximum performance on the street, strip, or track. The performance of the driveshaft, differential, axle, and other driveline components needs to match the performance level of a particular engine so that maximum efficiency, longevity, and reliability can be realized. SA Design's High-Performance Differentials, Axles & Drivelines covers everything you need to know about selecting the most desirable gear ratio, rebuilding differentials and other driveline components, and most importantly, matching the correct driveline components to engine power output. Learn how to set up a limited-slip differential, install high performance axle shafts, swap out differential gears, and select the best available products for the driveline. This book covers the Chevy 12-bolt, Ford 8.8 in., Dana units, and many other popular high performance axles and rear-ends. In addition, it explains rear differential basics, rear differential housings, and rebuilding open rear, limited-slip, and factory differentials. Ring and pinion gears, axle housings, axle shafts, driveshafts, and U-joints are also covered.
