In order to search for non-thermal X-ray emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) supernova remnants (SNRs) N103B and N132D, we are analyzing Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer-S (ACIS-S)/High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) observations of these SNRs. These images are compared to radio observations made at the wavelengths of 3.5 cm and 6 cm using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We have extracted ACIS-S spectra from X-ray luminous regions in each SNR which also possess strong radio emission. The spectra have been fit using the models VPSHOCK and SRCUT in order to fit the thermal and non-thermal components to the X-ray emission, respectively. Additional radio observations of these SNRs made at a wavelength of 20 cm can help constrain parameters of the SRCUT fit, namely the integrated flux density and the spectral index. Preliminary spectral fits to these regions are presented.
