Default LS Swap

Has anyone LS swapped a 2018 Silverado? If so, what would I need to do to make it work effectively?

Possibly so depending on the year of engine and pickup. The LT1 is the Gen. 5 6.2 liter, used in the 2014 C7 Corvette. Is that what you are going to use?

The LT1 6.2 liter engine is all-aluminum and use Active Fuel Management (AFM) and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). Can your GMT-K2 ECM use all that? I don't know
for sure. It uses direct fuel injection tech, or GDI, which shoots fuel directly into the combustion chamber instead of the intake runner. What motor is in the pickup
now? It will have to mate up with the transmission as well, so there is that.
