Test Fit Your LS Swap Quicky and Easily Without the Need for An Actual Engine.
LS engine swaps are THE thing these days. We're seeing them in everything from traditional first gen Chevy V8 applications like classic Camaros and Chevelles, to imaginative installations in Porsche 911s, the Tesla Model S, and much more. While those first gen Chevy V8 fitments are the easiest with the installation only requiring LS Engine Mount Adapters For SBC, it is still beneficial to have the LS engine in place for mocking up everything from air induction tubing to custom header fabrication, and more.
It is even more critical for those crazy one-off swaps to have a block in place to confirm driveline angle when using custom LS Engine Weld In Frame/Engine Mounts, engine placement to clear the radiator and firewall, and more. Traditionally, building something with an engine that was never meant to be installed in it would require an engine hoist, an actual engine, and a spotter or two keeping things in check while measurements were taken, parts tack welded, and so forth. It's not an easy or quick process, and it can be dangerous with a 400 plus pound engine dangling on a chain over your hands or head! Though "this is the way" may work for the Mandalorian, for us here on Earth there is a better way, and that is with the Doctor Diesel USA LS mock up engine block. Laser Cut Steel Plate for Strength, Simplicity, and Easy Storage.
Even if you have your LS engine all apart down to the bare block, that bare casting is still a couple of hundred pounds to try and roughly move into place to figure out your engine mounts, headers, and more on your project. Using replica engines to mock up your LS swap for your project is much safer and your back will thank you for your efforts.
Past mock up options included a plastic engine block or foam engine block, which, while being light and easy to maneuver, these plastic engines often did not hold up well to repeated usage or the installation of heavy components like long tube headers. This is why we designed our Doctor Diesel USA LS mock up block system from laser cut 12-gauge steel with all accessory mounting holes accessible from the back side for simple "nut and bolt" assembly of your accessories for engine mock up. No more thread inserts that work their way out of the foam engine block material or even needing the factory hardware during the mock up phase.Just grab yourself any fastener of the proper length and diameter, saving the good installation hardware for final assembly. Simply assemble the mock up pieces following the provided instructions with the fasteners included and your Doctor Diesel USA mock up engine block is ready to use in minutes. Disassemble it for storage where it will easily fit under a workbench, on a shelf or other location that a full size plastic engine block or real engine block wouldn't fit or have the weight capacity to handle ever try storing a real engine block on a plastic shelf? Our steel Doctor Diesel USA LS mock up block weighs in at just 18 pounds for the short block and 35 pounds for the long block (that's only six pounds heavier than the foam engine block version we mentioned), making it easy to handle and position all by yourself safely in the engine bay of your project. If you opt for the long block version the included 12-gauge steel cylinder heads provide mounting locations for your intake manifold, exhaust manifolds or headers, and even your valve covers.
This allows the complete mockup of an assembled and dressed engine, right down to ignition coils and more to confirm fitment, clearances, plumbing and wire routing, and so much more easily. Even if you're just using the Doctor Diesel USA short block, you can confirm fitment and engine location by mounting an LS Swap Oil Pan With Filter Mount, timing cover, water pump, and accessory brackets to our mock up block easily.Replicates All LS Engine Platforms to Mock Up Fitment of Any LS Engine. We did all the homework for you when designing our new steel Doctor Diesel USA LS mock up engine block assembly. We have provided all mounting holes to replicate the engine block and heads of all Gen III and Gen IV LS engines. Whether it is the original LS1 or you're planning for an LS6 or LS7, or perhaps you scored a Vortec series truck engine on the cheap, no matter what LS series or generation it is our Doctor Diesel USA steel mock up block system will work for your mock up needs. Due to the variances in LS platforms, there are differences in the accessory drive spacing.
There are three different spacing dimensions (measured from the front of the block) and you need to adhere to these measurements when choosing which accessory drive you are planning to use, especially if you're keeping the factory components from a used engine or a crate engine that is using stock components. Therefore, we made it easy on you by simply engraving these dimensions right on the front face of the Doctor Diesel USA mock up engine block.
Now you can quickly and easily confirm you have enough clearance to radiator cooling fans, power steering rack, fluid reservoirs, and other items commonly found at the front of the engine compartment. Note that we offer Adjustable LS Mount Brackets that can move the engine up to 3-inches total adjustment fore and aft to assist with accessory drive clearance. So, whether you plan for a sole LS swap in your home garage, or your hot rod shop is looking for an easier way to make LS swaps happen in your customer's cars, our bolt together steel Doctor Diesel USA LS mock up engine block will help you get the job done safely and quickly.
