Astro / Safari
Ls conversion kit 

DETAILED INSTUCTIONS
These instructions are part of a live and updating document. We will continue to improve the instructions for this kit through this link!​
Components: 
  • The "Motor Mounts" are specifically made for the Astro/Safari to optimize the mounting location of the GEN III and GEN IV LS Motor.  
  • The "Coil Pack Relocation Kit" was made because existing coil pack location interfered with the Astro/Safari “Doghouse”
  • The "AC Relocation Bracket" is only needed because no existing AC relocation lets the OEM AC Compressor fit into the Astro/Safari after conversion. 
Fitment: 
This kit can be installed in a 1996-2005, AWD, Chevrolet Astro / GMC Safari without requiring any modification of the engine oil pan, providing comfortable clearance for the front differential. No major modifications were made to the frame or the body of the Astro/Safari as well.

We are currently exploring the compatibility with 1st Generation Astro/Safari Vans from 1986-1994

Summary: 

​The contents of this kit not only include the components but list out all of the required tools, and steps needed to swap a Gen III or Gen IV LS-based V8 engine into your van.  Engine swaps often require some customization and troubleshooting due to variations in vehicle years, engines, and transmissions. We encourage your feedback and aim to compile a list of confirmed setups that work.

JOURNEYS OFF ROAD SPOTLIGHT

We have been having fun with the Pacifica lately and we just wanted to spotlight these amazing vehicles. This van is the only AWD alternative to the Toyota Sienna. Even the FWD Grand Caravans that we have had over the years are great vehicles!
