The phrase refers to a collection of components designed to facilitate the replacement of the original engine in a 2001 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck with a General Motors LS series engine. This engine family, known for its performance and relative ease of installation, provides a significant power and performance upgrade over the S10’s factory engine options. An example would include items such as engine mounts, wiring harnesses, and cooling system adapters necessary for the conversion.
Undertaking such a modification offers considerable enhancements in horsepower and torque, modernizing the vehicle’s performance capabilities. Historically, this type of modification became popular due to the S10’s robust chassis and the readily available, relatively affordable LS engines. The outcome is often a classic truck with significantly improved power and driveability, appealing to enthusiasts seeking a blend of vintage aesthetics and modern performance.
