LS and LT engine swaps and Mods

A great restoration is more than just a shiny paint job. It’s about taking an old vehicle and making it drive, stop, and feel like a modern one. The goal of a modern restoration is to keep the "old school" look but get rid of the "old school" problems. We specialize in transforming classic GM trucks and cars into powerful, reliable machines. Whether you want to drag race, go off-roading, or just have a dependable daily cruiser, we provide the parts and expertise to modernize every inch of your vehicle. Our performance division specializes in custom mods, taking the timeless look of a vintage vehicle and giving it the power, reliability, and safety of a brand-new engine. We focus on LS and LT engine swaps, which are the most popular ways to get fuel-injected power and "turn-key" reliability into your project.

To make the engine run perfectly with a simple handheld screen. Includes the "brain" (ECU) and the wiring harness for the engine, control your automatic transmission (like a 4L60E or 4L80E) and for Gen-5 LT engines (like the L83 or L86).

Dakota Digital RTX Series Gauges $600 – $1,800

They look exactly like the original gauges from a '64 Impala or a 70s C10, but they have hidden digital screens that tell you everything your LS engine is doing.

Dakota Digital VHX Series Gauges $400 – $1,100

A more modern look with glowing needles and backlit faces. A great "mid-range" option for a custom truck.

Vintage Air Ice-Cold A/C Gen IV / Gen V SureFit Kits $1,100 – $2,500

This is the only way to get modern A/C in a classic. It’s a full kit that replaces your old heater with a high-powered unit that fits perfectly behind your original dash.

Whether you want to drag race, go off-roading, or just have a dependable daily cruiser, we provide the parts and expertise to modernize every inch of your vehicle.

1. The "Big Swap" (LS & LT Engines)

We are experts in taking modern V8 engines from newer trucks and putting them into classic frames.

  • Modern Reliability: These engines start instantly, get better gas mileage, and don't leak like old motors.

  • The "Brain" (Holley Terminator X): We use Holley computers to run the engine. It replaces the messy factory wires with one clean harness and a small screen that lets you tune the engine without needing a mechanic.

  • Matched Transmissions: We pair these engines with modern 6-speed or 8-speed transmissions so you can cruise at highway speeds at low RPMs.

2. Complete Kits We Sell (The "Shopping List")

If you are doing the swap yourself, we sell the exact kits you need, so you don't have to guess which parts fit.

  • The "Fitment" Kit: Includes engine mounts, transmission crossmembers, and a low-profile Holley oil pan. This ensures the engine sits perfectly in your frame.

  • The "Fuel System" Kit: A brand-new gas tank made for fuel injection, plus high-pressure fuel lines and filters.

  • The "Cooling" Kit: Large aluminum radiators with electric fans to keep your new high-power engine from overheating.

  • The "Front Drive" Kit: Holley brackets that move your Alternator, Power Steering, and A/C pump to the top of the engine so they don't hit your frame.

  • The "Exhaust" Kit: Specialized headers and pipes made to curve around your old steering box and frame rails.

3. Suspension & Chassis (The "Ride")

We make sure your vehicle handles the new power safely.

  • For Trucks: We sell Lift Kits (1 to 8 inches) for an aggressive off-road look and C-Notch kits for those who want to "slam" their truck low to the ground.

  • For Cars (Impala/Chevelle): We sell Coil-over kits that let you adjust how high the car sits and how stiff the ride feels.

  • Handling: We add larger "Sway Bars" and modern "Control Arms" so your classic car doesn't lean or "float" around corners.

4. Safety & Comfort (Brakes & A/C)

  • Disc Brake Conversions: We sell complete kits (rotors, calipers, and power boosters) to replace old drum brakes. This is the #1 safety upgrade for any classic.

  • Modern A/C (Vintage Air): We sell kits that put modern air conditioning inside your classic dash. It uses your original knobs but blows ice-cold air.

  • Digital Dash Kits: We sell screens that fit into your original dashboard holes to give you digital readouts of speed, temperature, and fuel.

5. Finishing Touches

  • Custom Shifters: Floor-mounted shifters that work perfectly with modern automatic transmissions.

  • LED Lighting: Brighter headlights and taillights that look stock but let you see much further at night.

  • Deep Cleaning & Polish: Once the mechanical work is done, we offer full-body polishing, underbody degreasing, and interior deep-cleans to make the project look brand new.
