Nice

I'm interested in your setup? Trying to figure out my options. I already have a Daikin mini split installation at my house. It has 2 internal units and one external unit model: 2MXS24RMVJUA. Unfortunately it takes 240V ac input power. The label says "compressor motor 15.5A" so 3720W I guess. I'm assuming I'll need a 4000W+ setup to power it once I add in the power consumption of the internal units. I don't know how much power is used when it is run as a heat pump vs when it's run as an air conditioner. If I got 400W panels, how many do you think I'd need to be able to run this year round. I'm in southern CA, so generally pretty sunny year round. I'm considering a 120/240V split phase inverter to give me the option of potentially powering other 110V things as well but I'm still researchign and learning. Another question I have is, what happens when the cloud cover is such that the panels don't generate enough power. If the battery runs low will it just underpower the minisplit system or will it shut itself off? Is that bad for the minisplit system? I'm currently on the grid and am hoping to set up a DIY solar system that never feeds the grid. Is there a way that the minisplit system could automatically be switched back to grid power if my solar/battery system isn't providing enough power? Do you have any tips for me as a noob? Thanks!

I've watched this a few times a have 2 questions. Why not swap the hat from the S10 to the Silverado bucket? Are the internal connectors the same (looks like it at 2:00)? Reason 1 is that the float position to alignment tab looks wrong and at ~7:30 when you pull it out it looks like the float would be hitting the side of the tank, and 2, the seal would be a non-issue.

Has anyone done this with a 4l60E that has the external speed sensor on the tail shaft on the transmission and not the internal one?

Where did you buy the surge tank can’t find it on Amazon ?

How did you connect the harness to the engine stand?

Also why the Explorer rear axle

Thank you for such an informative video. A want to do a blazer build but couldnt get a real estimate on actual swap price. Was the engine fitting difficult?

This EFI stuff is out of my wheelhouse of expertise but I'm finally after decades thinking of messing around with this brand new EFI thing! Just kidding (I'm a shhhhh carb guy) but if you were going to try n make more power with factory parts would the flex injectors be capable of a bit more HP? I'm guessing they're larger for the ethanol? I'm one of those people that when they get interested in something I just absorb every bit of info I can do I was just wondering. Getting into boost is just so much easier with EFI and blow thru carbs are really expensive so I gotta figure this all out.

This is the best 8.8 s10 video that I have seen. Great job man!!

How you make the stand alone harness

Why do people call vortec engines an ls swap?? I dont get it. They are 2 totally difrent engines.

This rules. Can't get much more meat & potatoes than that. Respect.

wonder the cfm pull on those fans. ford windstar fans are supposed to be the best...

SOUNDED REAL GOOD.

How do you keep the metal shavings from staying inside the baffle? Wouldnt using an air hose thru the big hole keep them out?

Quick question would these harness work on a 98 tahoe as a stand alone??????

I have a 69 C10 Chevrolet truck. All things considered what engine/transmission would you recommend with a $3500 ceiling. 6.0?

Your Pull a Part must be better than mine. I grabbed the fans and harness and they charged me $65 since they sell the harness separate. Heck, while looking online they have prices for airbags but you pull a steering wheel and the air bag and they take it since they have a deal worked out with a guy that buys them locally. Heck, any sets of wheels worth having they pull for sale or if they are aluminum they yank them and sell them to the recycle place as aluminum scrap. I snagged a set of aluminum rims off a AMG they hadn't been able to get off the car and I played hell getting them pointing out what the sits says and that I would call the corporation entity and report it. Instead of the quality grading they have listed on the site they made me pay the aluminum scrap value.

I’m curious if the stock exhaust system from a single cab 5.3 Silverado will be almost identical

Can’t get the light to come on the dash for park/neutral

Excellent video

thanks for all the informations. Maybe you can ls-swap a car for me.

I appreciate this video! Great explanation.

Does the LS3 suffer from this issue as well..? I have a 2010 Chevy Camaro with a mid 2009 production date, so it probably has the pre-revised (driver’s side) valve cover if anything. My question though, is if the (older) LS3 (non-AFM/DOD) requires this? The manual/non-AFM/DOD LS3 engines don’t have the PCV routing that the L99 engines in the automatic/DOD equipped 5th gen (10-15) Camaro V8’s have. Instead of PCV routing all the way to the rear driver side valve cover, mine is simply capped off from the factory… On top of that, I was planning to swap out my stock valley cover plate and gasket for it, due to excessive oil blow-by. I noticed this issue after installing an oil catch can; where the catch can would fill up 70-75% of the way, with every ~200-250 miles of driving or so!

If I run this set up on my 03 sierra. Do I need to have it programmed for electric fans?

Save yourself some heartache and cash. Don't f___ with a junkyard engine for a LS swap. Instead, get a GM SBC crate engine w/ warranty and you'll be ahead of the game

do you think a 1998 or 99 chevy 3500 ls would be a good swap engine has 120000 miles I want to put in a 56 olds I know it ran but the brain died its be sitting for some years now or look for a different one any problems you know of using this thanks

What did you hook pin 9 into

What is the exhuast manifold you use ?

This video is gold thank you for it

Great info. Thanks.

What did you have removed from your exam other then vats

Where did you order your alignment bar from?

Awesome video, double check pushrod lengths when assembly 😉

Is anyone else's shifter stuck? Like the button won't click in to release.

I would have used a toggle switch for ignition power and a momentary push button for the starter. The switch you have will work fine though. Just personal preference.

I like to use nylon fuel line. If it's good enough for OEM it's good enough for anything I'll be doing with it

Perfect video I’ve been wanting to build one for a few weeks now

Use Rust 911, wayyyyyyy cheaper than Evaporust and wayyyy more effective. I just soaked my car fuel tank in it, no scrubbing, came out completely clean.

I only pull parts from a mangled car!!! Never mess with anything related to the engine on a complete clean car!

I'd kill to have a friend that could do the swap for me 😢

next time use your man voice not your library voice

THIS is a VERY good walk through of how to do this task! Greatly appreciate you!

The fuel gauge on my 94 5.3 swap does the same exact thing. Reads correctly sitting still but bounces some going down the road.

Are you in ga?

Has anyone used the code vin 5.3 aluminum block for ls swaps? 2005 Silverados had them

Very good video! Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for educating me, let save some $$$

Would you care to provide a part number for the carburetor kit you used?
