LS Bullnose
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2013
80-86 F series and Bronco Gauges, and their features.
checking out the gauges in LS bullnose for those of you who are wondering about them.
let me start by saying I forgot about the pair of autometer gauges near the column. a wideband O2 and a fuel pressure gauge.

LS Swapped F-150. 1 year later, she's still a ripper!

I took the bullnose out, after a year of running and driving, here are my thoughts on the swap, and a video of it running around. Enjoy.
I LS SWAPPED MY 1985 F-150

A rundown of some of the special parts and things I had to do to LS swap my F-150. More detailed videos ahead. 4l80E 2wd conversion th-cam.com/video/rf6nwQMmVz0/w-d-xo.html LS brake booster to 6an fitting www.amazon.com/dp/B07DWHDDKB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Oil cooler to oil port adapter for oil pressure guage www.amazon.com/dp/B00LV4IJSY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Po...
Use a fuel pump setup from the 4.9L F150, plus a Corvette fuel filter/regulator. Pressures are compatible, because Ford ran the rail pressure at 60psi to keep the fuel from boiling in the rails. This gets you on the road with factory parts, so fixing it on the road is easier and faster.
Nice build you hook up the gauges with the ls sensors?
Nice. What hose you use to you radiator I am doing a swap to on my 79 ford
What headers you use
Speed engineering
What headers you use
Nice! I have a 89 f150 LS swapped with a 5.3! Don’t see too many swapped fords. What brand is your gauge cluster?
New vintage usa. I have a video on them
Very helpful information. Thanks for the video. Did you not use a Holley terminator like a lot of these other guys to get this thing running ?
I used the stock ecm.
How did you link the gauges?
The new vintage gauges link together. It's how they are made
Super nice build man! need the electrical video
Been contemplating dropping a ls 6.0 in a 2008 f350. Im sure tying into the ford wiring will be a job
Im not sure on that specific truck. But you could always get the diagrams and start picking until you get it. Guys Cummins swap those all the time. Probably some good info out there.
Looser
What Transmission?
4l80e
Did you run air conditioning?
Not yet. I will though
Was it pretty simple to fit and what mounting brackets you use ? I got a 1980 f100 looking to do ls swap
i just bought some universals and welded them to the cross member
What did you use to center engine? , how much would you say you cut on motor mount tabs? I'm doung this swap on my 86 bullnose with 5.3 4l60e. I keep coming back to your video 😊😊
What you used for trans mount?
A tape measure and level to center it. I cut the entire stock frame tower and mounts out and started over. Trans mount is the stock cross member moved back a tiny bit with a spacer on it.
Man I just picked up an 84 f150 exact same truck you got and I was gonna do everything you've done with yours so far haha. I just don't know what engine I wanna swap it with but your videos have been making me lean towards the ls swaps
Would it have been much easier to swap it with a 351 windsor? I have an 85 f150 with an I6 that I wanna swap with something I can get atleast 400hp out of. I'm thinking the windsor would be better but not sure.
Sure it would be easier. But only because you can reuse your transmission, well and a carburator. Still need different frame towers and motor mounts. The ls can handle significantly more power than the Windsor. So for me the ls is the way to go. Not only that, I've never seen a stock Windsor bottom end rev to 7000. I rev the 6.0 to 7k with no issues
Amigo, me podrías compartir fotos del motor completo y de los soportes para ver más a detalle
Sure, I'm out of town, but when I get back home I will
love the exhaust. it sounds great. thanks for more ls swap content
Thank you for these videos! I’m getting ready to do an ls swap on mine. price on gauges may be a little steep for me tho😅
How hard was it to work the Ford A/C system w/the LS?
It's on the to do list still!
Where's the babies mom jess
Right now she's in bed. Haha
Hey do you have a list or a receipt somewhere of what it cost you and every single part you had to buy for this swap?
I might have a list. I will look
Interested as well
What gauges? And do u have a longer vid?? I wanna hear it more
What gauges are those?
New vintage usa
sounds great
Hey man great video I will reference this more times than I can count! I am in way deep on a 85 f250 turbo ls swap. I’m running a terminator x max to run the engine and trans but I bought the truck with a blown 460 that was already pulled. Harness is still intact but I’m curious if you know of a main power wire that supplies power to everything in the cab. I cant seem to locate it? Traced from the fuse box but I guess I was expecting to see a large gauge wire going to battery and all I’m seeing max running into cab is 10 gauge or so ? Any help appreciated sick build man!
Why no coyote swap? Ecoboost swap?
LS is very simple and makes good power. Plus way cheaper
I have put more badass Chevrolet V8s in Fords than my co-workers have even gotten a Ford running I don't think any of them have actually gotten one running?
The 5/8"-18 o ring 6an fitting is for the ls power steering pump right
What fitting did you use for the gear box to run -6an thanks
It's the last link in the video description.
@LS Bullnose Ok thanks man appreciate it
@@LSbullnose so -6an to 1/2"-20 inverted flare
@@bradleydunford725 no prob. Best of luck!
@@bradleydunford725 so, it's been a bit since I've been into it. But If I remember right, one of those fittings is mega long, where it holds part of the trans online. So I do not know if you can use just a regular ole fitting
So happy to see a fellow 6.0 LS swapped bullnose, thought I was alone!
I'm not alone anymore? I thought I was too
I’m next. What’s the budget on this swap?
What engine mounts did you use?
Wish I'd have found this months ago. You said it, man....finding the right parts is a time and money killer.
Big time
Truck looks and sounds great. I'm in the middle of an LS2 into 1979 F350 Supercab swap, and used the Autofab motor and tranny brackets. Outstanding product and service there. Appreciate your walk through, and follow up.
Glad you found some value in my ramblings
*That's a really cool build. I have a 1987 F150. I really would like to do this with my truck. I appreciate the content you have put up. This is some good stuff for bull and brick-related swaps* Dexterous X
I'm glad you like it. I've been working out of town, or I would do some more vids, but just don't have the time!
Nice
Thanks
Never said how much it all costed at the end ??
Hey buddy I know you removed the old motor mounts with the one hole but did you also remover the other bracket from the crossmember would you be avale to send me some close ups on the motor mounts doing a bullnose right now thanks bud
I cut everything off the stock cross member that ford put on there. I did reuse the cross member, but I welded a plate over the large hole on the driver's side, then just added those motor mounts that I have listed in the description. I'd send you pics, but I'm out of town working at the moment so I don't have access to the truck.
What did you do for the transmission shift linkage?
I used a sidewinder shifter and it comes with the cable
Sweet truck. I’m 15 and just bought my first truck, 1986 F150. Im doing an Ls lq4 6.0 swap just like you did, also with the 4l80e transmission. What did you use for transmission mounts and crossmember?
I used the stock cross member, but I had to move it. Then I built a small spacer that bolts to the trans and then to the top of the stock trans mount to raise the 4l80e up a bit
Ok cool. I heard from your other video that you used speedway engineering headers. Did you use long tube headers? Thanks
@@carder761 they are Speed Engineering. Yes they are long tube
Ok, thanks
Sorry to bother you again. I have a few more questions. In your last video in the description you said there is a company that makes motor mounts for ls swaps in these bullnose trucks. I could not find that company, do you happen to know the name of the company? Also when you said you used the stock crossmember you mean you used the one in the ford not the donor, right? Thank you
On the drive shaft do you have a part number on the u joint/ yolk from shaft to diff. Connection id like to try and use gm shaft vs getting one made to much $$
i do not have that part number, but i called East Coast Gear supply and they hooked it right up
Where you get your gage clister from? Im working on a 86 bullnose swap
That is from New Vintage USA
@@LSbullnoseeverything still working fine on you cluster buddy??
Badass truck man
Thank you
I own both Fords and Chevys and approve of this combination. 1980s engines were horribly underpowered due to emissions regs and have fecal fuel economy. As for yer fingers, get into modern thin cut-resistant work gloves. They're cheap, lots cheaper than flesh and work very well. Best style are coated so oil stays on the outside.
What master cylinder do you used. I need change to the break pedal I got f150 1990 whit crown victoria front swap an ls1 us my goal, thank you
Stock one
any updates? maybe some running and driving videos just for the heck of it? Really wanting to do this swap on my bronco
I need to get it back together. Tore apart for tc upgrades!
Very sweet video man, lots of great info. My swap will start soon I'll be watching a few more times to make i don't miss out on stuff
Think I can email you about how you wired it up with the truck harness yo engine harness
Oh man, its been a minute. I should probably make a video. But yeah, if you send me your email, ill hit u up
@@LSbullnose or the video would work better lol I been following waiting for the video
How did you mount the engine and Transmission? I am buying a Ford Rollback 1990 and need to know how to mount the engine and transmission so they're level.
I made my own mounts. I believe i show them in the video. I also used the stock trans crossmember and built a spacer for it to raise the trans up. Had to move the crossmember. Pretty easy to level it. Hold it with engine hoist. Make sure truck is level then just use a level on the engine. Tack in your 2 front mounts. Set it down with the trans on a jack and repeat leveling to desired position front to rear. Doesnt have to be perfect. But pinion and yoke angle matters. Have to get that the same
Do a battery relocation kit. Make a box in the corner of your bed.
I definately want to keep the bed looking good. Probably remount the battery to other side of engine bay and build and airbox. Have to worry about making sure the super charger fits first and figure out where to relocate the intake prior to worrying about battery.
