It provides guidance for selecting compatible parts, fitting components, and assembling an LS engine, supported by factory specifications such as torque values and bearing clearances. A worked example, “Project LS2,” illustrates key build steps, while coverage spans core engine components including blocks, cylinder heads, bore and stroke combinations, rotating assembly parts, balancing, cylinder head reconditioning, EFI upgrades, and camshafts. The scope covers engine build procedures rather than vehicle installation or in-depth tuning.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":30,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/technology/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/building-the-chevy-ls-engine-rebuilding-and-performance-modifications/663753/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/building-the-chevy-ls-engine-rebuilding-and-performance-modifications/663753.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"RuangKosong","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does the book focus on when building an LS engine?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The book focuses on selecting parts, fitting components, and assembling an LS engine from a performance standpoint, primarily using LS2 as the main example.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What example engine does the author build and reference throughout the book?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The author builds a specific LS2 as an example and refers to it as “Project LS2” throughout the book.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Does the book include in-depth tuning or vehicle installation?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"No. It deals strictly with the engine build and does not cover in-depth tuning or installation into a vehicle.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},663753,1793231127,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":29,"category_name":30,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":19,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":129,"read_time":144},962090883219,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","BUILDING THE CHEVY LS ENGINE  \nRebuilding and Performance Modifications  \nMike Mavrigian  \nHPBooks  \nBUILDING THE CHEVY LS ENGINE  \nRebuilding and Performance Modifications  \nMike Mavrigian  \nHPBooks  \nHPBooks  \nPublished by the Penguin Group  \nPenguin Group (USA) Inc.  \n375 Hudson Street, New York, New York 10014, USA  \nPenguin Group (Canada), 90 Eglinton Avenue East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario M4P 2Y3, Canada (a division of Pearson Penguin Canada Inc.)  \nPenguin Books Ltd., 80 Strand, London WC2R 0RL, England  \nPenguin Group Ireland, 25 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, Ireland (a division of Penguin Books Ltd.)
