Trans-Dapt Swap-In-A-Box Kits: One Box Makes Your Engine Swap Easier
Back in the olden days, doing most engine swaps required a lot of work before you even turned a wrench. You had to determine if the engine would fit in your vehicle, then source parts and hope they would all work together. It’s a different world today. Trans-Dapt got together with Hedman Headers and Hamburger’s Performance Products to engineer Swap-In-A-Box kits that make engine swaps easy-peasy. Each kit includes these parts:
• Hamburger’s engine swap oil pan and pickup
• Hedman swap headers depending on application
• Trans-Dapt motor mounts and pads
• Required gaskets and hardware
Many kits also include a transmission crossmember and mount pad for an automatic or manual transmission. The biggest choice you’ll have to make is which headers you want—shorty, mid-length, or full-length; steel, stainless steel, silver or black ceramic-coated; primary diameter—the whole nine yards.
Summit Racing has Trans-Dapt Swap-In-A-Box Complete Engine Swap Kits for GM LS, small block Chevy, and small block Ford engines. There are 75 kits for LS engine swaps alone, and 38(!) kits for plopping a 1955-2000 small block Chevy in a Chevy or GMC S-series truck based on engine year, transmission, and header choice. Sheesh, that’s a lot.
