Let me guess, you don't think it's a swap either?
Yeah I think he said that engine had been in the car for seven or nine years. And yes why87, this is a dumb discussion. But the dumb part is that it is a discussion in the first place.

Stroked engines some consider simple, I don't. H/c cars are more involved than putting the ls6 in.....probably takes longer to.

The difference is my car wasn't really a "swap". To me a "swap" would incur wiring/mount changes and maybe even moving other essential components. Make no mistake it was a direct replacement that even ran on the stock tune for a while.
I have a termi motored notch......now that's a ****** swap

I agree to some extent. I was merely replacing a engine. Now my ls7 I will consider a swap. There is more to putting that engine in than meets the eye.

It's really...REALLY simple. The car did NOT come from the factory with the LS6, therefore it IS INDEED a swap!. It's so ridiculous how people change definitions through specifics/technicalities to suit their own definition.

ROFLMBO...seriously. This is hilarious. But in part why the 'racing' world has become so ridiculous. These discussions weren't this common 10-15 years ago.

This isn't hard...you took out an LS1 and put in an LS6. That is a swap; one for the other. If I had put a 99-04 engine in my old '98 GT, it would have been a swap. Same block, different heads/cams/intake. It doesn't matter that I wouldn't have to change the wiring or run a different tune, they are different engines.

lol People give hio **** like he put an ls9 in it. He put a VERY outdated engine in a car that COULD have had that engine. I dunno why people think/act like its a head and cam LSX.
I also get sick of the whats pump and whats not argument. I can drive 5 min and get 110 leaded fuel from a 24 hour gas station, so...thats pump gas right?

That would make it a factory LS1, as it came from the factory.

By definition a "swap" is an exchange of one thing for another. You can swap seats with someone, it's still a chair, probably identical to the one you were just sitting in, but you swapped it.
I have a swapped motor in my car. It looks just like the original, has the same physical characteristics, but everything inside the block is different. And since the original motor was physically removed, and this one was put in its place, they were "swapped."
Some people can be really dense when it comes to comprehending simple English words and their proper usage! I blame texting for the total dumbing down of America! LOL!
It was very helpful of Websters Online Dictionary to even include the exact topic of discussion!
Engine swap - An engine swap is the process of removing a car's engine and replacing it with another; this is done either because of failure, or to install a different engine - more powerful, maybe more up to date and maintainable. (references)

No it's a replacement engine. A swap entails more...at least to me. You guys can think what you want. But unless your changing mounts/wiring/moving other **** around your are replacing a engine, not "swapping" it.
you idiots act like this was the baddest "swap" on the planet.....**** it has taken more time to get the fast 102 on it properly than to change the engine.....lmao
