LS Engines

[olschoolkid]

Hello everybody, I am looking for an LS engine that I can swap into my 1966 Suburban kit. What would be a good place to look?

I'd use one from the Revell '99 Silverado. There's also one in the latest generation Camaro. You can also find resin versions on ebay. But, they're almost as much as a kit would cost.

Icemancollections on Ebay sells some resin LS engines

The AMT 1970 1/2 Camaro Baldwin-Motion has an LS-7 😁

Are you asking about modern LS engines (or LT engines in the Gen6 Camaro)?  Or older LS engines which are big block.  Chevrolet has reused the engine designations more than once on different families of engines.

Generally, when someone mentions LS engines they mean the modern era LS/LT engines.  The AMT 70 1/2 B-M Camaro has a very nice Big Block engine that would certainly fit the 66 Suburban, but is a totally different vibe than the modern LS.  For that, one needs to look at Revell Gen5 Camaros for attached transmission versions, the above mentioned Chevy pickup or SSR (their Vortec engines are iron block LS), or C5 and C6 Revell Corvettes if you want to cut off the torque tube and add a transmission (or go all out with a transaxle and IRS).

That is why I asked above what engine family the OP was referencing

Randy sells the Clearly Scale engine sets, best quality resin products in my opinion.

He may have, or be getting soon the LSX engine sets, and there's a LS V12 also.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I went ahead and ordered an engine from eBay. I also ordered a Ford Coyote engine for a Shelby Mustang restomod project I have in mind.
