I have a 1979 chevy transvan which is a g30 dually with a 5.7L th350 trans and im getting ready to do this exact thing. So happy to have found such a similar project. I'm considering a 5.3 with a rv cam and a 4l80, haven't decided fully. It'll be towing my race car though.
I subscribed to your channel to keep abreast of part two. I know how hard it is doing this stuff so I won't push. I like some of your other vids, but for me, THIS is the one!
Thanks for subscribing!! This project is currently on the back burner while we are looking for a new house! Once we move we will be diving right back into this project!
@@zillamaker much appreciated! That’s the main goal, one with a workshop/building and then we can really get rolling on this project! Our 2 car garage isn’t cutting it anymore
That thing is sick being a non extended chassis. I own a 77 gmc mini jimmy 350 t400 411 rear seems decent enough on power. I was thinking efi and gear vendor cause the bruce jenner is strong. I'm gonna rebuild everything else before i dive into the mechanical's. I would like to see this thing progress!! Good luck!!
Thanks! Much appreciated! We are kinda doing the opposite, starting with all the mechanical stuff then focusing on making it into something you could live/travel in! This thing sat for over 7 years before we got it so everything needs gone through
Rome wasn’t built in a day! We are slowly working on the swap, nothing major going on with it right now. Will make bigger progress with n the summer months and upload more videos then!
@@BackroadsStreetcars exactly! I’m thinking of building the motor to for forced induction and to utilize a small turbo for those times when a little extra acceleration is necessary. 😉
I'm wondering when pt2 is going to be released. I'm doing an LS swap on a 1981 Chevy G30 RV much like the on in this video. I'm taking a 6.0ltr from a Mitz.Box Truck. There are so many things to work out. I have just about everything from the donor except accelerator pedal,steering column & the piping from exhaust manifold to massive muffler. Not sure if the gas tank will fit,but I'll find out tomorrow. Maybe I'll shoot some video & throw it up. Could help someone out,who knows? Good luck with the project. It's a tough one,for certain.

Awesome, sounds like a fun project ahead of you!

Man looking good!!
Appreciate it! It’s got a ways to go!
Doing research thinking about swapping my G30
What motor mounts, transmission mount and manifolds that you use

Doing research for my 84 g30 350 really wanna bag it and go diesel
Sweeeeet!
Thanks!!
how did you find the right engine for the swap ?
Any LS based engine will work! Ours it from a 2006 Chevy 3500 van.
Did you have to add anything to pass emissions?
Zero emissions requirements where I live so nope!
@@BackroadsStreetcars thats cool
Badass! Any update on this? I have a similar rig
Thanks! No major updates currently, slowly stick piling parts for the project!
just waiting on the swap to happen, wondering how well it will fit. got myself a 89 g30 22ft RV wouldnt mind a plus up on power and better mpg lol

You going with a LQ9?
It’s an LQ4 Block! Going to be doing Heads/Cam/Intake swap and refreshing the bottom end!
@@BackroadsStreetcars nice! Thinking of doing the same with my 1975 Argosy 20’ Motorhome.
@@Chevy2Man definitely a good route to go, more power, better fuel economy and there’s LS parts in every junkyard across the country haha!

@@Chevy2Man that’d be a ton of fun!!
When the Second part ?
Still working on it!

Part 2 is a bit of the way out still and in the works. Slowly making progress on the Motorhome swap but will speed up come summer!
Would you sell this? As is.
I don’t think we could let it go. We’ve got big plans for it and I haven’t found another one quite like it.
If you were to sell it, what would be a asking price?
@@OXCFilms I’d have to think about it, if we let it go I’d wanna sell everything with it like all 6.0L stuff and 4l80e.
Wanna do mine next?
Haha I can hardly keep up with my own personal projects!
