Awesome job!! I like that you make sure your work is clean and looks factory when done. Pro status!
Thank you!
Alan is going to love it!
He's very happy with it!
Thanks. Lots of folks goss over the the DBW pedal box install and cruise control is something that I've missed in my planning.
For the fuel milage comments, I've driven a LS1 (Mild Build) swapped RCSB ('99). It averaged 18 MPG if driven reasonably. I now drive a 04 RCSB that is averaging 18 MPG on a bone stock 4.3L V6. That same LS1 is on a stand ready to go into the '04. I will be surprized if the post swap MPG is down by more than 1 or 2..
Glad to help!
I didn't see the test drive, did the cruise control work? You are a genius and you do great work for people to learn from. Thank You and God Bless!
Test drive video is coming soon, been working on some other projects
wow great touch i have a 2010 4.3 and would like to go to 6.0 you in?
I can do it, shoot me an email.
I can do it, shoot me an email!
@@MohawkMotors i need your email address
You do great work 👏 i wish you were my neighbor great job
Thanks 👍
Were do u live.would you don this for a side project
Yes I do swap for customers also. Located near Frederick, MD.
V6 to v8, 👍 How much its that labor cost??? Around 2600$?
There are a lot of factors involved in the labor cost, ballpark between $3000 and $6000
I need to send my truck to you
Will have openings in the spring
Hey on a video u did a while back where u started a engine on the stand can a engine be ran that way in the veichle
yes it can, it's actually much easier in the vehicle, you just bypass the ignition and fuel pump relays, and then bypass the starter relay to crank it over and start it.
@@MohawkMotors is there any way i can contact u for u to explain this a little more excuse my ignorance
You motivated me to make a video that I've been thinking about for a long time. I'm going to put it up this saturday. Hopefully it will help you out!
I’m currently working on swapping a 2003 silverado v6 with a 6.0 out a 2007 Chevy 2500 will it work or should I get an engine that’s the same year as my truck??
You can make any of them work, it's more a question of where do you want to spend your money. If the 6.0 is from a 2007 silverado classic (cat eye headlights) then it's a pretty straight forward swap that can be done with all factory parts. If it's from the newer body style 07 silverado (1 piece headlights) it's going to take more electronic adaptation and conversion and in that case, I would look for an engine from the same body style as your 2003 silverado.
Hey so i have a v6 2005 silverado and i put a 2002 v8 in it. Can i use the 2002 harness?
Yes, you'll need the 2002 pcm as well.
Where are you located?
Near Frederick, Maryland
Do you recommend doing this? I had a friend who did this and he said the truck would over heat/caused too many problems
If you have a super clean v6 truck and are looking for more power and increased resale value, yes I would recommend it with the caveat that you need to do it right. Don't half-ass it. Get the correct parts for the engine you are swapping in, the right motor mounts, the right radiator, the right transmission cooler.
In my area, it seems like every immaculate, well maintained, rust free pickup with good paint, is a V6 truck. For me, I absolutely hate body work, so I would much rather go through the work of converting a V6 truck to V8 than trying to make an ugly truck beautiful.
@@MohawkMotors that's what everyone tells me, "just buy a truck with the V8 already in it" but my 4.3 is in very good condition and all i see is clapped out v8s for 8k. Do you think 8k would be enough for a correct swap on an 06 year model?
@@DeathhAngel1 if you can do the conversion yourself, you can probably do it for under 3k. If you are planning to hire someone else to do it, 8k will probably be about what it costs
I'm interested in doing something like this for my 08 4.3L sierra (only made those in the work truck models) do I'm curious, would I have to stick with an LS? Would I be better off swapping to a a more *stock* engine? Just looking to have more oomph when going off road and hauling my RV. The v6 is awesome but is slow from stop, and I've had to rebuild the spider injector twice 🤦♂️ nobody else really offers much info for this, all I can find is car motor swaps.
I haven't done one in the newer body style trucks like your 08 sierra but I'll give you my hypothesis based on my knowledge of that generation of trucks. You could swap it to a v8, you would need to get the engine, harness, and computer/computers from an 08 or late 07 (same body style) truck or suv. It owuld probably save you some headaches to get the entire drivetrain from the donor, engine, transmission, and transfer case if 4x4. Once the body style changed the management systems and anti theft got a bit more elaborate, they can still be swapped, but there are more differences from year to year.
How much did you charge for that swap?
I don't think it's appropriate for me to put out what he paid publicly. It was a price that we agreed was worth my time and knowledge and worth his money. If you're interested in a similar swap feel free to email me with what you're looking to do and I'll get back to you with an estimate ASAP.
Taking out a fuel efficient engine to install a fuel pig,that makes all the sence.....NOT.
I don't recall ever mentioning that the goal of this swap was miles per gallon. My customers objective was a fun to drive, powerful, unusual truck. I think we accomplished his goals and he's very happy with it, that's all that matter to me. If his goal was good fuel mileage he would have left it alone.
Adding a larger engine devalues the truck,and "fun to drive" is just wanton recklessness in this case as a VW Bug can be "fun to drive"with a much lower HP rating and a much higher mpg.😉
I think devaluing the truck depends on your audience. To someone looking for a maximum MPG commuter vehicle or an unaltered survivor, swapping the engine and transmission absolutely devalued it. To someone looking for something to go fast and do burnouts in or a street/strip truck that isn't from the 70's or 80's swapping the engine and transmission added value. Value is a personal term, what 1 person thinks is completely worthless, another may see as extremely valuable. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Sure there are lots of other ways to have fun driving also, but this was how my customer wanted to do it, and I am happy to make it happen for him.
What matters most is that the customer is happy and I'm sure he is.
Bingo!
Can you do an engine swap for me lol
If you're local, possibly
@@MohawkMotors I highly doubt I'm close to you lol
You finna Engine swap mine 😏
It's possible!
