On some cars like a Toyota tacoma drift truck
I would only because it's a Chevy
No I'm never doing ls swap
100% if I had the stuff to rear drive swap or a wrecked FWD LS4, I would swap into my 95 monte.
currently saving to swap my 370
I LS3 swaped my lawn mower
😂😂
Why would you do that to a Honda? 😆😆
Christopher Elrod you beat me to it
Marry me!!!!
You laugh but this has been done by a racing team.

Ls swap your pencil sharpiner
Surprised you even still have a pencil
I wanna LS swap my Tesla.
Bold 😂
I like that
Do it!!!
i can’t believe no one has
@Alexander Chohan it's also hard to make 1000+ hp on a n/a LS build, but it's been done, also, don't call me an idiot
All hail the LS. If we swapped the world with an LS we wouldn't have the Rona or wars. Just sayin
LS swaps can even end racism and world hunger
Swap out the earths core with an LS. We could have unlimited powa baby.
@@cyberwing3758 Im actually crying from you three LOL thanks for the laugh!
ls swap your child, if hes fanboying over a car you dont like sell him on ebay and buy an LS engine with the money
Redundant. Rona is war.
"So you want to manual transmission swap?"
YES
That's the real swap
This
@@superbroadcaster working on manual swapping a genesis v8 for a friend.
Heart reliability issues are pretty common in my family. When my time comes, I'll just LS-swap good ol' meaty-boi
@Maximo Moline imagine the power to weight ratio if he gets taction it be amazing!
I looked at buying an LS RX-7 a few years ago. It was slightly out of my price range though. Man, that would have been a fun way to wrap myself around a tree.
Yes, Yes, and did I mention?
*Yes*
The only thing better? A LT Swap :)
i thought so too but no. The new LT1s are expensive for everything. I have a 19 camaro ss. Direct injection is expensive. just to upgrade fuel the Lt4 fuel pump is $1200. and if you dont know how to time and shim it you could with one rotation of the cam destroy it. fuel system upgrade total is about 2300.00. before that they wont go past 500WHP. after they can handle safely 650WHP anything higher your looking for trouble. If you go gen 6 lt1 just bite the bullet buy pistons and rods lt4 fuel pump and lt4 injectors. then your safeish around 1000hp. any higher well thats a whole world of hurt.

So You Want To LS Swap Your Car?
Me: Well yes, but actually *cries in europe*
It's like EU is trying to ban anyone that likes cars.
@@ultraguy8771 right? In EU we cant just swap e36 with junkyard LS for cheap and have really good reliable drift missile. no we need go something like m52b25+turbo and just destroy reliablility. BIG SAD :(
Ultraguy87 More like filter everything
If you guys have cars like the Lexus LS400, SC400, And or the Landcruiser you can swap engine's like:
1uz-fe 4.0L V8
2uz-fe 4.7L V8
3uz-fe 4.3L V8
All 3 have proven to be reliable engines from Toyota. And if possible find a wrecked Lexus ISF, GSF, RCF, LC500 and drop the Lexus 5.0 V8 into another car
@@deandrej674 Yes you are right but they arent literally millions of them in junkyards also UZ's are like 250-290hp while bullshit LS iron derivative pulled from junkyard truck is 300-400hp with significantly more torque. But yeah UZ is kinda our LS I just wish there where more of them for cheaper.
Legend has it that the sun is LS powered...
😯😯😯
we'd all die if that was the case
When you can have a stage three cam, heads, make 460hp at the wheels and STILL get 25mpg on the highway....LS SWAP THE WORLD!
HOW
@@fyzikal5 u ever figure out how?😭
@@coleissohandsome LS swap........lol
I heard if you ls swap an rx7 you get sent to the seventh layer of Hell for your sins.
But that's how you make an RX7 reliable🤷🏿♂️
It’s so true it hurts
The 7th layer isn't so bad, you get to hang with the other NoRotors members there.
@@AJ-kx7zt only rotory ill ever own is a three rotor. Id love a r26B but screw that tuning each rotor individually is MADNESS.

It’s good if you go drifting, or if you want to make more power without blowing up your Motor so yes

V8 swapped Caymans have intrigued me for years
Its basically a homemade German Corvette
are cayman front engine? or are they rear? sorry i dont know porsche too much. If rear engine you might wanna consider a cadillac northstar V8 alittle heavier but MUCH cheaper and they were front wheel drive V8s. beef up the axles and you might have a cheap swap if your a DIY person. Just a suggestion.
@@sariahreigns3666 Cayman and Cayman S are rear engine.
@@sariahreigns3666 you Don't have to go that way, north star is quite terrible for a good old American V8, LS 4 is the best candidate because it's aluminum and also designed for fwd Cars
Can’t wait for a LS swapped mk5 Supra !!!
@Maximo Moline work on one... they are retarted. My friend who is a master tech of toyota almost quit the day he had to tear one appart for warranty. They are STUPID, turbo bolts directly to the head. intake and exhuast manifold are built into the head. the timing chain is on the back side so you need to pull engine and trans everytime you need to do ANY motor work,
Can't wait for someone to b58 swap a mk4 supra just for the shits and giggles.
I love LS swaps, it just a feat of awe to me as an enthusiast. Though I do have my own opinions in terms of specific brands and their originality but i still respect the build nonetheless.
If you want a cheap, light, powerful V8 in your car, an LS is the way to go. Personally, I would like to see a bit more unique engine swaps like a VW TDI powered Jeep or something nobody else has
My friend wanted to V10 TDI swap his Honda CRV lol
@@NuclearPineapple did he do it? I'd love to see that motor in something like that lol
Bryson Kuhn nah lol. He got an excursion with the 7.3 power stroke and that settled his large displacement diesel desire. We do need to take apart the k24 in the CRV though to replace piston rings before he can sell it
@@NuclearPineapple man those 7.3's are pretty indestructible. I really wanted to put a twin turbo setup from an Audi on my trailblazer to make the twin turbo 4.2 vortec concept car
Bryson Kuhn that sounds really cool! And yeah, he gets 20mpg too which is the same as my G35 :(
Yes.
I've been seriously considering it for my 2000 v6 camaro. The same price as headers and an electronics upgrade I could get an ls. Also no worries about the loss of friends as itll be in the same body it was made for.
Ls swap,the most hated engine by winga dinga boomers

shii if you want to go ahead
working on my first personal project. 69 C10 backhalfed, 5.3 bored to 383 twin 88 mills forged bottom end and a hood exit exhaust. ls swaps are rather easy guys. you got this.
Yeah I feel like the truck motors are a way better deal. You can go to a junkyard and find a 4.8 or 5.3 for like 500$. And if your trying to get cheap power you can't beat a cheap v8.
Yes but you might have to do some work on them junk is not always better...
Get a vortec, they are cast iron block LS engines
Plus 4.8 rev higher and both 4.8 and 5.3 iron block can hold over 25 pounds of boost
@@PhuckktheJew yeah but when you can get a motor for less than 500. The money you save makes up for it.
@@FXIIBeaver you can usually sell your current engine/trans and buy a junk yard LS + T56 and come out even or sometimes have money left over.
My brother wants to LS swap his '94 Nissan Hardbody.
Tell him to document the swap on TH-cam.
Literally just get a 1990 Chevy 1500 and lower it. It'd be pretty much the same thing
That's a truck so it actually kinda makes senss
Its worth it.
I drive hardbody and I think this is the greatest idea. Do it. And put it on TH-cam.
I just did an LS swap on my 99 Jeep Wrangler, took me about 2 weeks from removing the old 4 cylinder to having the jeep running on the LS engine
As a miata owner i have seen it done and couldnt be more jealous of the ability to do that and fish tail down the road. Goals.
Meanwhile ben K swaps his FD
Most LS Swaps are done with truck motors unless its going in say a drift car or a strict NA build
Yeah I’m seeing a lot of procharged lm7’s
@@colesmountainbiking turbo and nitrous. With lr4s and lm7s being under $350 at the salvage yard. They're normally the go to. Now granted depending on the chassis and the kind of build if your pockets are deep enough then by all means go for a car motor but for about a 30-40 hp hit to save 2 3rds of the buy in price i can live with
Iron block, because boost. 🤘😎🤘
I love this dudes energy dope video thank you!
I’m LS swapping my Rav 4 now thank you
What about so you want to Cummins swap your car. Western Champlin Cummins mustang...
So your girl want's to LS swap her special toys

Make sure she doesn't get a cam. She will leave you if she does.
His intros with the beat slowly creeping up gives me goosebumps
Thank You Very informational I Had No Idea What An LS Swap Was It Was Recommended To Me And This Was Very Helpful Seeing How I Have A Nissan And I Was Worried A GM Motor Wouldn't Fit
I've been doing hours of research trying to figure out all the parts I need to swap out just to do an ls swap on a 350z, my mind is fried and I'm still not done
I swear i'll start researching topics on TH-cam then you guys drop a video about what i'm looking for within the same week.
I'm considering an LS swap: I'm looking into the L92. Since It's going into a big truck (1965 Chevy C60 tilt cab), weight and space aren't an issue. I'm still trying to make up my mind on the various engine/transmission/rear end combinations before I pull the trigger...
Not sure if you switched your coffee for coke or something but absolutely love the energy and quickness of your delivery. Incredible video! Keep up the amazing work 💪
U guys shoud do "So You Want To 2JZ Swap Your Car"
I am a big gm fan even more a fan of the LS engine. I am also a big import fan as well. Ive been wanting to LS swap something for awhile. Im really considering swapping my is300.
I would love to LS swap my car, but I can’t LS swap my scooter
Not with that attitude
I would love to see a video featuring Pancakes, the soft boi.
I’d do it! Mainly cause, no one would argue with me or unfriend me for putting one in a 2006 Scion xB.😎
No one can unfriend you when you don't have any friends because you own a Scion xB lol
@@justFiji DUDE YOU FREAKING KILLED HIM
Akash Kannan no friends, I’d call that weight reduction modification😆😆
@@justFiji 💀💀💀
my ls swap is in a 74 chevy C10 pickup Which seems like a perfect place to put one. it is a 5.2 truck motor but still lighter than the original small block.
I watched some stuff about LS swapping a 3000gt. THAT is a lot of work my friends.
next video idea: "So you want to K-Series Swap your car?"
Yes 👍
obligatory "So You Want to JZ Swap Your Car"
you can even spill the beans on how the GE blocks are just as strong as the GTE ones
But you won't get the power for it to matter without a turbo, and the amount of work to put a turbo on a GE is well, stupid.
@@Treaxvour yeah you'd want a GTE head and likely a single turbo setup. I'd recommend against stock turbos anyway unless you have to run the factory ECU for whatever reason. GE blocks also bump your compression up a bit for those spicy E85 tunes
Shh. It's a secret.
HUSH! dont tell them, the price will rize!
@@Treaxvour if by difficult you mean super easy your right! Oh yeah so difficult to change head gasket head studs intake manifold, turbo manifold and tap a bung into your oil pan and some piping waste gate and a few other nicknaks.... yup super hard. Im only talkign about making an NA block into a turbo not the entire swap sometimes 2j is easier than ls sometimes it isnt. ive seen massive reliable safe tunes at 600WHP on 2jz swaps. Depending on the ls you MIGHT need to do much more work. Ls dont have forged pistons 2jz do. Ls1 first gen motors also have MASSIVE oil consumption issues that can be fixed by dry sump. ls3 is MUCH better but the price is alot different.
I’m in the process of ls swapping my 1st gen s10. I want to go with a aluminum block motor but they are a hell of a lot more expensive than the iron block truck motors.
Cars are forever. Long Live the Car community as a whole.
I would LS swap the shit out of everything lol
Already did and put a huge Turbo on it lol
I will forgive you for doing this over my q50-60 because this was funny as hell keep up the good content!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS IDEA DO MORE OFF THEM PLEASE
No sir she’s a metric engine
Even American companies went metric years ago now
Wondered if anyone would catch this
I’ve always wanted to ls swap a Chevy cobalt ss.
Why? To make it slower?
Kenaz Wilder why not. It would sound better and you don’t see it everyday
GUY IN A 2wd any footage?? I say do it
@@ILikeCheesesticks how the hell would it be slower? The weakest ls series engine puts out 20 more hp and 40 to 50 more tq and thats a 4.8
You could probably buy an LS for cheaper than you'd be able to sell the Cobalt SS engine for. And it would make the thing actually sound decent unlike all the fart can yellow Cobalt SS we have around here
I LS1 swapped my 1977 celica and it was the best thing I've ever done to it. And so easy too
Ooooo that sounds perfect.

I want to LS swap my Genesis coupe
There's a dude in my town who managed to get a 5.7 to fit in his Gen Coupe, but I think he sold it a while back :/
hypr _ I want to do it bad but if I swap the engine I probably need to swap the transmission and that’s extra money so idk maybe later
I’ve seen it, with a 6.0L and roots style blower, badass!
Benayak Gurung yeah that's probably true, it'd be sick though lol
@@benayakgurung7311 t56 magnum is the strongest manual transmission its what grannas used on thier world record h pattern supra. 6.99 quarter mile. if you do the swap you will almost never had a trans problem unless you cant drive like at all. ive seen and ls3 swap gen coupe and my 19 camaro ss got demoloshied by this thing. it was FAST. good luck!

I feel like yall are watching me.... I wanna swap my s197 I mustang because the 4.6 3v stinks lol :0 (before the hate I know you can make good power with the 3v its halfway a meme but kinda serious.)
Man I wanna swap my v6 s197
Do it if for no other reason than to piss off the Ford fanboys. 😁😁
@dabagel100 Dude please do this. I had a 3 valve that I either wanted to coyote swap or LS swap but I got rid of it and bought a 6th gen camaro instead. I was leaning towards the LS swap because the ls engines sound good like the 3 valve does. The coyote doesn’t sound good at all for a v8. Also you’ll make way more torque down low with the Ls.
@@shemwhitehead9517 not a fanboy, but LS in a Ford does make me cry.
The 3V is trash and I hate ford for it. If you want to keep ford heart just get the 4V or 2V. But if you are determined then get an LS.

NO

I love 2JZ stuff, sounds way better, but you can’t just ignore a superior engine that’s 1/10th the price. 1550hp on a cast-iron truck motor LY6, stock-bottom-end. A 2JZGTE or LS3 only wish they could do that. 🙏

Idk if he said this but the good thing about iron truck blocks is that theyre good for around 1000hp, aluminum blocks are good too but theyre better for moderate boost or n/a applications
these "so you want" are my favourite videos
Yup LS swapping an rx8 hopefully very soon, if I could afford or find an aluminum block LS I would love to swap that in but it isn't in the budget but nothing a set of good coilovers can't help with
The iron block variants are still lighter than a SBC, and they can be rebuilt where the aluminum ones really can’t be ( the iron sleeves can be overbored but only by .010”, otherwise they have to be replaced)
Turbo LS swapped my 90s model gmc pickup, borg warner s400 (s475) methanol 5 speed 4wd
I am currently tuning my camed LS1 in my '97 Miata and I am certain that I will be stoked with the results as it is pretty rowdy with the stock 325 hp engine from a '02 SS Camaro along with the T56 trans and a limited slip dif from a '08 CTS, she gets up and the American Eagles SCREAM! After the tune it should have somewhere around 400 hp in a 2300 lb car. Zoom-Zoom!
I'm gonna LS swap my air fryer and refrigerator...they gonna run good'er than Hell boy!💪
Yes
Edit: This is for Alex I have a 355sbc in my 280z and Im dropping a built lq9 with ls3 heads in there and a single turbo looking for around 1000hp 😂 Im wait for the small block to go though 😂
LS swapped 944s are badass!

LS swap a frs doing mine this summer 🥰🥰🥰
I agree though if you swap a working rotary for a LS I have some bit of hate for you.
