SO I HAVE A 1995 C1500 CHEVY WITH THE SBC 350 AND NON VORTEC SO TBI AND MY FRIENDS BEEN TRYING TO GET ME TO SWAP IT BUT, ! IS EXPENSIVE, 2 I LOVE MY 350 RUNS LIKE A DREAMS AND ITS GOT SOME TORQUE, SHOULD I JUST KEEP MY 350 ?

I detect a whole lotta jealousy here! You know as well as everyone that a LS will slap a hairlip on a gen 1!!! 😂😂😂

Stupidest video on TH-cam!! My 1,200.00 5.3L LS makes 600hp! Just because you dont know how to setup a LS don't trash it! I will run your Gen one of any size with a 4.8 LS anyday!

Listen man you just confirmed everything I argue with my buddies about on a daily basis, I respect the LS world but I will never turn my back on a sbc!! Power to the dollar and reliability you can’t beat em!!! And guess what?? I’m a foxbody 5.0 fan but I’m serious thinking about putting a 350 4 bolt main from like a 98 vortec motor in my Fox 😂

Just for all the LS’ers…#SRH Project 900 #23degreebadass

The ONLY problem I have with a traditional SBC OVER the LS is the fact youre not coming CLOSE to the performance capabilities of a STOCK iron block 4.8/5.3/6.0 without a Dart Little M or such aftermarket aluminum block to make a MASSIVE cubic in. Stroker small block and thats not CHEAP! There's not a SINGLE Stock bottom end 2 bolt main 400, 4 bolt main or otherwise SBC that's EVER reached 1400 HP......the iron block Vortecs have.......not having to spend 2500 dollars on a stroker kit or forged rotating assembly is a GOD SEND for building an engine. Camshaft and Turbo kit and you can reach any sub 1400 HP level you want with a 6.0....YES it will make passes. YES everything breaks all racecars do. YES your SBC can make 600 HP or 800 HP but with as few parts and as little money spent? Not gonna happen.....you can run a carb on an LS too..... it's called the SUCCESSOR for a REASON! the fact it has 6 bolt mains is already the main reason it sticks out above the rest of the competition.

Absolutely true.ls is the most media shoved down ur throat engine.why because they want u spending more money on it.

Make a point. But driveable a issue also with chain slop using a dizzy hall affect sensor to run spark ...also old trans eat power unless go to stick...thought about alot of this ...those old blocks don't have lifter issues but a boosted engine always better ..ls or 350 or any engine

What did you put in them?

Great video....thanks for the kudos. I am glad I had an positive affect on your interests!!

I was watching these guys with 500 more hp than I had back in the day run less than my 10.83 at 127 mph NA cars

Just found your channel because of others, and im already loving your channel. Keep up the good work!!!

Congratulations, man!!

Keep it up! I love the comment of the blazer “0-60…. maybe” 😂😂

Congrats buddy! 1k is only the beginning, not the end!

We have a 88 Silverado that came with a tbi 350 i swapped it out with a smaller 4.8 with a mild cam. Picked up almost 2 seconds in 1/8 mile. I think this guy is drunk.

Great truck but gotta get rid of those v8 badges

Great video... subscribed from both of my channels! I just left the small block s10 comment!

I just built a small block S10 on a shoe string budget... Got the truck for doing some work on a 53 Buick so no money in the truck itself... Ended up with a 305 small block out of a 24 foot Bayliner so it's a factory 230 HP engine... turbo 200 metric 3 speed auto for free since it sat on a barn floor for 25 years... Quadrajet came out of my buddy's scrap dumpster... So for gaskets, mounts, HEI distributor... Facebook marketplace shopping for the headers and Hurst shifter setup as bare bones missing covers and knob, shift cable and yoke to extend the driveshaft another inch and u-joints I and exhaust made from parts store bends and Amazon cheap flowmasters.... All in I was at just over $1500 bucks.... If I did an LS swap I would have had that just in parts and a msd controller without any other stuff... And now that it's setup for a classic small block... If I want to go up to a 327 or a 350 or even a 400... It's as easy as unbolt and bolt back in.... Gotta love a classic small block! Good video man!

I grew up building gen 1 small blocks and they are great engines. The future definitely belongs to the LS engine like em or not. I'm a BBC guy myself..if you're going to worry about cost of swapping or building engines you need another hobby.

LS only makes total sense if youre on a tight budget and want the best engine for the least amount of money. However most of them i see are crazy aftermarket block builds with stroker cranks. People have been building sbc's like that for decades and making north of 1500hp so if you have to spend 3 grand on an lsx block you could buy a Dart block sbc for less and start there. Point being if youre spending 10 grand on aftermarket parts the platform doesnt matter anyway just choose what fits best in the car.

He is speaking the truth...but he sounds like...one to many beers...

$300 engine million dollars in getting in

Dang good looking truck

Manifold video 👍🏽

It's the DARK truth........😂

Mashed Potatoes ! Yum

i got a 98 and im lookin too change them ball joints soon. They make a godawful sound whenever i turn the damn thing

Cool truck, have a 01 manual transmission v10, super clean

Green question but I need help. I have a LC9 which is a 2007 5.3 L I’m gonna put a sloppy mechanic stage two camshaft in as well as LS7 lifters and 1218 springs in 799 ported heads. I’m kind of leaning towards using stock ls1 pushrods but if I was to upgrade them, what would you recommend? Also, I’m considering on changing the pistons would you recommend changing piston rods as well? If so, do you recommend any of that are as strong or lighter my goal is 500 crank N/A.

Not even a Chevy fan but this was an excellent honest video. I hate when someone says they got an LS because they are so reliable, how many small block Chevys do you see broken down on the side of the road, thats nonsense.

You're likely not gonna make 450hp with THAT 350 you described. Btw....i just made 548whp with a 5.7 LS.

I have a 2022 Challenger RT 5.7 AUTOMATIC. I have people in parking lots say how cool my car looks ,some come up to my window while driving thru the parking lot and comment how good it looks. The car gets compliments stick or automatic.

Well I’m glad someone finally noticed the new Charger EV is a good looking body with classic Charger looks and lines.

I think the ls is a poor engine made cheap and blow up always an old school SBC is the best engine ever made on the planet and still remains at no1 they are reliable dependable and parts are way cheaper and you can get all the hp ya want with that dependability and reliability . never will the SBC old school lose the no1 spot as it has 80 years of all the above . Small block Chevy forever .

I like them both, I have a 4.8 in a jeep and pops has a 65 Malibu ss 327,I do all the engine work, love them both

Yamaha, I'm thinking because they always has the headlights of to the side

Love the video and agree with you but depends on what junkyard engine your getting, an 05-06 5.3 H.O. L33 has 330hp stock aluminum block and comes with 799 heads which are the same as ls6 243 heads you can watch a TH-cam video on how to port them, install a no springs required BTR camshaft build your own engine mount plates for like 20 bucks and butcher a wire harness together and have a 450hp + ls swap for less than 1500 bucks

Niiiccceee 👍

I like Ford and Chevy. And I don't go with a platform just because I'm that guy. I put the engine based on what's going to be best for the vehicle and what I want to do with it. I've got a 91 GMC Sonoma. Going to put a 5.7 Vortec LT1. Got it out of a 96 suburban. Good engine. Just a little bit down on compression on cylinder #1. Got it for $200. Going to do all the usual stuff. 30 over. Forged pistons and rods. Lunati bootlegger cam. Some nice heads. Air gap intake. Street strip carb. Simple. Cheap. Going to pound off like a muffukker. Plus. Cammed out small blocks sound cooler than an LS. But if I have a Corvette. LS is the obvious choice. If it's a Japanese mini truck and want to do a v8 swap. Obvious choice is a small block Ford. Because it's narrow. Distributor is in the front. Blah blah blah Ford stuff. Everyone would be better off if they forgot about all the brand loyalty BS. And just put whatever engine is the most logical choice for what they want to do. Weigh your options logically instead letting the brand/platform loyal bs make their decisions for them.

Gorgeous truck, brother. Happy trails!

How about lt being a 6 bolt main and even used out the junk yard holding together up to 1500 hp

Iam pulling tanker too. I have 9400I. Never had any major problems- most companies am applying for require 5 years or newer truck. Really thinking of the HX.

I have a 84 4runner. Obviously it didn’t come with either. But, I chose a LS to start off with. Butttt, then I changed it to a vortec 350. The reason why I switched, is because of the simplicity of a sbc. The minimal electronics to get it running. When I’m out in the desert, I don’t want a computer or an ignition box keeping me from running. A 35$ HEI distributor is all I need.

Could you move it to one of the other positions where one of the cables have slack and then undo whichever terminal that does not require a nut to connect additional cable to the bus bar and stuff a rag under it?

I like em all, grew up on Gen 1-2 SBC and now messing a little with the LS Gen 3-4 engines. But I have to say junk yard LS swap is cheaper. We just swapped a 3rd Gen Camaro. We got a 5.3 for $600 with harness, ECM, accessories and all. We reworked the harness so the stock 5.3 ECM could get 12 volt power from the battery and a switched ignition source (old HEI wire). $50 ICT SBC to LS swap motor mount brackets. We did cam and springs for $600 and mail order tune for $300. We used the stock intake (which flows really good), fuel rails, injectors, and even the stock truck exhaust manifolds, etc... Runs low 12s in the 1/4. Car already had a TH350 in it so that made things easier. Good thing about it, if it ever blows up, go get another $300-500 5.3 and just swap it out. Them LS motors already have heads on them that flow like a SBC aftermarket head, I do not think you are aware of how well those stock LS heads flow. So basically we did this swap, with a cam, for less than the price of your heads.

It can be disconnected without take out the battery but the bad battery at the end of the connection and tape up the positive easy and simple

Some people are idiots!

For real got an international school bus with this same issue super annoying

Another biased video for engine fanboys. Build whatever you want for your ride and build it for you. Who cares if the dude next to you likes it or not. Nothing sounds like a high reved SBC or BBC, but you can't argue realistically about the pros of a LS buid (not junkyard, a build)
