What makes a swap kit from BRP great is that you can go to their site and by choosing components through a series of easy-to-follow menus you can build a complete swap kit to your liking. Case in point, we are going to be LS swapping our ’96 Chevy Caprice very soon, and we went through the BRP LS Swap Kit Builder to assemble a package that includes everything we need. To get the process started we selected the 1991-1996 B-Body LS category.

Moving along, the builder system has you choose the engine mounts and crossmember next, again we chose the 1991-1996 B-Body Conversion Kit and selected that ’96 Caprice. The next choice offered is red or black bushings followed by selecting the type of transmission you will be using and choosing a transmission adapter if your application requires one. Keeping things simple, we selected the 4L80E and no adapter.

As you can see, a BRP Hot Rods LS swap kit can be as complete as you want it to be. The packages are easily customizable to include as much or as little as you like.

With the engine and transmission mounting solutions taken care of, the next options available are for various components, including oil pans, headers, and accessory drive systems. BRP gives the option to pick and choose which accessories you will be running. For instance, those not running A/C can select that you only need the drive system to run the power steering and the alternator. Once all of the engine options have been selected, we need a way to control it, and BRP offers many solutions. You can choose from a variety of Gen 3 24x ECM, TCM, and harness packages or Gen 4 58x ECM, TCM, and harness packages.
