Wake Your LS Up with Elgin’s Sloppy Mechanics Performance Camshafts
The LS engine family is arguably the most popular engine family on the planet these days. You’ll find these compact pushrod V8 engines in everything from hot rods and muscle cars to classic trucks and more! Their swapability into just about anything, their simplicity, and large source of original applications means the LS engine family is easy on the project budget and that there are numerous upgrades and performance parts available for them.
Many of the LS engine donor sources are GM truck applications. While performance is solid from the factory, GM’s trucks are designed for work and daily chores like hauling the family. As such, GM engineers designed the LS “Vortec” engine series in these trucks for a long life at relatively low engine rpm with an emphasis on torque. Obviously, these engines will run in your LS swap project as is, but one of the best “bang for the buck” upgrades you can do to your truck LS engine before it lands on those LS swap mounts in your project is an LS cam swap to something with a little more lift and duration. Elgin’s line of Sloppy Mechanics performance LS camshafts is the hot ticket for a Chevy 5.3 cam upgrade, especially if you’re considering additional performance upgrades like gears, high stall torque converter, or even a turbo!
