I Bought the Cheapest LS Swapped Muscle Car on the Internet! It's SO TERRIBLE!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2024
- While doing my regular browsing of Marketplace I came across a very modestly priced 1979 Firebird that had been LS swapped. After talking to the owner, I knew it was a bit off a cobbled up project but after some cleaning it really isn't that bad. If you'd like to own the car as shown in this video it can be yours for $5,500. As always, thanks for watching!

Wow well Mortske, I couldn’t finish this one. No I wasnt entertained, actually I was disappointed in your presentation. It was minute after minute of you trying to make the previous owner look like a hack mechanic and fool. First off you need to remember MANY people out there dont have the deep pockets,resources, and knowledge you have. I’m not condoning sketchy builds or dangerous operation. But it seems your direction and purpose here was to humiliate the person(s) who put it together. I would have expected you to show ideas and how to run numbers to identify the LS series engine and the performance level it is. Also swap ideas and options, THAT I would have found entertaining. This was not a good video from you, remember your the same guy who reuses head gaskets and mix matches parts to make unsafe junk run up and down the road, that could be very dangerous to the public to which you share the roads you drive on. Then you make an entire video to showcase a lesser quality build thats not up to your standards. Yes many things are wrong and questionable, but what if these people were watching YOUR videos to learn?? I know many many people who started out doing what they could with what they had and over time it gets better with bigger budgets and more knowledge some of which they get from videos on the TH-cam……Dude seriously not a fan of this video, you have more class than this Mortske cmon.
Well since our previous pinner bowed out you get to provide today’s entertainment. May the odds ever be in your favor!
I agree with the last comment. You have more class than him, Mortske 😂
You must be who he bought it from!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What you are saying is you are offended on behalf of the builder of the car. Do you think that is necessary?
The hackery on this car is damn near artistic, I'm betting the builder thought the alternator thru the hood was cool because he could tell folks it's a turbo...all this build needs is a gas powered leaf blower zip tied to the hood for a forced air induction!!
Remember as long as you're having fun it doesn't matter how the dude got it done lol 😂😂
It does if it's unsafe and I'm trying to drive it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really like this channel.what more do you need.dawgs, cars Sammies good times. Is it limited slip .🤓✌️🪘👽🍺
I be afraid of that rubber glove for a gromet one peice of glove sucked in no telling what it will clog up
This rig makes my stuff look like it’s a Pebble Beach build.
When you wire the fans to key power, they will generate power when you shut the car off and they wind down. That’s why the engine doesn’t shut off right away. It’s trying to run on the power generated by the fans.
Another great episode!! I was thoroughly entertained!!
AND…I commented too soon. Should have known you’d figure it out.
It’s an impromptu hybrid!!
That exact thing happened with my Mopar. I couldn't turn it off!
Oh I’m impressed with this one. She runs pretty damn good for all the half ass butchery. Definitely worth the parts. Imagine building and boosting that thing. Could be an epic burnout car!
I guess you could call it the Fireturd 💩 🤷♂️
More like the "firehazard"
@@dustinwilson1981 lmao
Fireturd for the win
Perfect for going to taco bell
@@g.sanders6916 it's even purple matches the building 💀😈
Duff went from enjoying the scenery to being slightly concerned for his life real quick.
I was seeing that to, it doesn't seem to be very often that Duff tucks tail on a ride either.
About 1:58 It was hilarious.
It was the way his daddy was driving.
The thing that I really enjoy about the xxxtra long mortske videos, is I can start watching on Monday, and with how many times I gotta stop to help the kids/wife, I get to continue enjoying the video all through the week so I don't get bored in my "free" time!
this car epitomizes "crude, but effective" (mostly crude) in that it actually starts and moves (barely) under its own power. Yeah there are a TON of areas for improvement (pre Mortske) but, still it actually started and ran.... which is higher class than the usual "stuff" that Mort tries to get cobbled together enough to run as well as this did right at the start..... that said, the dude that built it seriously needs to up his game for round 2
I generally hate it when guys rag on someone else's work, we all have different abilities, and wrenching is wrenching in my book. HOWEVER, this is awesome! And, actually learning a bit of what not to do and why. Good stuff Mortske! "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!" Bwahahahaha
Glad you got an education today!
Excellent point on that TTotD. My old man was doing some welding. We ended up having lunch at the shop that day - and good thing! "Anybody smell smoke?" One of the benches in the back of the shop was smoldering and by the time I came in one leg was in flames. Scrambled for the hose and put it out. No damage, but it definitely makes you think about what could've happened.
I'd say, take it all apart and start over. It could be a good car if you take time. And I know if anyone can do it, you can. We all have faith in you.
I agree with this. It is not a terrible car if it is disassembled and redone in a correct manner. My non-expert opinion would be to take it down to "frame-off" and do this rare
vehicle justice by creating a very nice resto mod out of it. But, since you do not seem to like Trans Am....I would say, just pass it on. Sadly, it's potential will never be realized.
It did not turn out half bad. Just goes to show how a little work can go along way.
they had the hard work done
Please give Matt the time he deserves , I could listen to him for until the end of time. Thanks for the podcasts guys. I’d love to hear his thoughts on extending compounding cycles with with water
Lucky winner
This whole engine is like one big temporary repair kind of repair to get you home on!
Great to see you have some fun, and not have to lose the shop to make her run! Duff was not really enjoying the donuts, but he probably likes eating them. Thanks for entertaining us and the effort that it takes!
The oil catch cans are useful on modern direct injection turbo engines. This mitigates the build up of coking deposits on the back side of the intake valves by filtering the blow by gases through the catch can first which are then recirculated into the intake runner. Deposits to the back side of the intake valves from the recirculated crank case gases is a major issue with direct injection gasoline engines.
This has got to be one of the best Mortske episodes, haven't laughed this much in a while😂.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another great Mortske Monday! Thanks Chin for the editing work! 🐾🍺
no amount of editing can polish the turd that this car is/was
My grandad uses a couple rubber snakes to keep birds from flying into the shop when the doors are open. Set em on the ground near the open shop doors and it keeps them scared away, he's done this at all his shops my whole life and I've never seen a bird fly into his shop. Kinda like little shop scarecrows.
This makes my LS swap look like a masterpiece. Mine is just a truck motor with the truck oil pan and intake in a 1988 cadillac. A/C is also a pretty easy to do
Based on the swap job and your description of its smell I would call it the Turd Bird 😂
haha
I’m down with TurdBird or as above, FireTurd. It’s definitely a hot deuce of a rig. And definitely not solid. 🤢
Maybe Holy aka "Holey" Bird.
@@americanpatriot3638ya I was supposed to go to a wedding there this weekend! Send us an email with the info! Thanks!
I was leaning towards Ponti-HACK
Dude had his step mother hand it off to you and the car looked exactly how I thought it would after hearing that.
It would be so cool to use the LS in another project,and restore this back to stock with an old school carberated big block, 400 V-8
That's what I was thinking!
Remember the real Pontiac motor not the junk 403 Oldsmobile was only with a 4 speed. The Oldsmobile had a 200 R4 which isn't good for a big block
I've done a few of these swaps and it will fit fine without hacking the hood, even with the truck oil pan and intake. My wife daily's a 1978 bird that I swapped 4 to 5 years ago
Good to know!
That truck oil pan would be hangin' LOW tho, first decent speed bump or railroad track jump you're knocking the bottom out of it... I mocked mine up with the truck pan and it sits in there fine but pan was a good 2-3 inches below the crossmember. ASKING to be cruched.
I've got a 79 transam I'm planning on putting an LS in. I've read and seen alot of pictures on the forums, I never knew how high that engine sets in the bay till this side view in the video.
I'd like to retain the shaker (obviously custom fitted to hood). I know theres always the big cowl 454 hood for these but I'd reather not. Maybe I'd have more room up top the LS with a carburetor and its intake manifold..😁
Also pretty sure I've seen a aftermarket fbody oil pan for these swaps.
@@motov8-garage832 In the vid the previous guy has it sitting WAY higher than needed to help clear that low AF oil pan. a proper setup with the f body or swap oil pan would have it quite a bit lower.
@@MortskeRepair Good name would be ziptie bandit
A mortski don’t ever change, so what do you want to you do a great job nobody’s perfect I love your show keep pushing on
In the words of Scott at Cold War Motors "It's rare and no one cares.." All kidding aside, if course you had to buy this thing.. Could be very fun cruiser for the summer.. Thanks for the episode!
He’s a witty guy
The challenge: Can a car be built using nothing but things Mortske hates?
Definitely
@@MortskeRepair THEN DO IT SIR MORTICUS!!
Cragars?!
easy peasy
A ford?
Love the content I live in Florida appreciate you mortske been a mechanic for 25 years recently found out that I have an autoimmune disease that I was born with a knock me out of work fighting for disability it's nice to watch your videos pastime in life
Hey mate, thanks
It’s a shame that was a nice ass car at one time. Too bad people have hacked it up and destroyed it
But in all fairness these cars weren't that great from the factory....well as far as squeaks, rattles, handling, and performance anyways. The screaming chicken decal was ugly to but the 9 year me liked it back in 1979.
@@richardbaumgart2454 hey hey be nice. They may not have been the fastest cars stock , but you just can’t beat driving around with the t-tops off . In all fairness they can be made to go fast you just have to really strengthen 5he frame and do some o5her work just like any other car of the era
@@icantsaywhat yeah I had a '71 Camaro RS that I had running mid 11's but it was 100% solid, no rust, and no frame connectors! Living life on the edge lol...didn't handle...didn't stop, it looked nice.
Probably some young person learning the mechanics and hacking, some people shouldn't paint or do mechanics!
Camaro's firebirds Trans Am that share the same chassis and body Style as Trans-Am, it's just a more luxurious Firebird. all share the same chassis and body still first year of Camaro 67, first year of Firebird 67 , they're literally the same for decades. Great Pony cars!.
Good shop safety tips, I have had a 76 C10 since the early 90's and have touched just about every mechanical aspect. Chasing a fuel gauge electrical issue I had never been into the engine bay wire harness, and wow I found some sketchy stuff that reminds me of that T/A. First thing I did was unhook the battery until I go over the rest of the wiring, surprised I haven't had other issues.
Mine was grounding issues. Hope helps good luck
@@ronaldrey8474 My gauge and sending unit tested good, ran a jumper wire from sending unit to gauge and worked fine. That's when I opened up the wire harness from firewall running behind the engine. Which gave me some surprise sketchy wiring issues from previous owner, twisted and taped wire connections and butt connectors with wire pulled out(fuel gauge) to sending unit.
Speaking of convertibles, I love it when it is like 40 degrees out and there is always that guy who has to drive around with the top down and all the windows rolled up. I think it is funny as hell.
Great video Mortske! Just my two cents on what to do with it if no one buys it, turn Mojo loose on making some better motor mounts, fix some of the piddly stuff, put some license plates in the floor and just drive the snot out of it.
Most things to look for on a LS swapped vehicle is the Fuel system verify the tanks using the proper PSI pump and runs a filter before the pump... Look for the transmission electrical harness too. f they bypassed it you have to plugin the OBD port and verify it has been disabled along with the checking its RPM Limiter I am bettin he has the Limiter set prob to its default still... Hence the reason its surges and revs Up & Down sparatically under heavy acceleration... Always check the electrical grounds.. Verify it has at least 2 gauge min on all of the cables... As you said one neg to the battery to the engine one small one to a steel inner fender of back to firewall an engine ground from head or intake to firewall too... You dont always need engine to frame ground too unless it is running a aftermarket ECU & ignition kit.. Edelbrocks Etc... Last thing I would check is to make sure they haven't tinkered with injectors and if they have it will need to have the ECU flashed for more PSI and possibly Fuel flow GPM's.... Make very sure the ECU is gettin a tach signal so it knows when it has to hit its shift points and knows its rev limiter limits... I have done a few LS swaps in different vehicles over the yrs & wanted to pass that on to ya Mortske Man... Take er easy.... "Cracks open a sammch"
Just wanted to drop you a line and say I love your channel / love what you do! I have watched just about every one of your videos, and most of them more than once. There are a lot of people doing what you do, but only you and Derek are, in my opinion, truly entertaining. It's all about the personality of the "guy" that make the videos worth watching. Please keep up the good work and please don't change. Sincerely, Don
Wow, thank you!
Brent's been getting so much love since the fire ❤ Edit: The little old lady across the street from me has a silver 77-78 Firebird. Base model, no spoiler, 305 Chevy. I think it's been repainted and just a nice driver. Probably still worth a bit, especially since she rarely drives it. I've thought about making a video talking to her about it, but it would probably suck lol.
Ah, the old Jim Rockford tribute car trick. Now available in silver!
I would take the LS for another car and then throw the original 350 or 400 back in it with the factory wiring harness. Since it is a bit rare might be nice to restore it back to stock. Could be worth a bit to the right buyer.
The money you would spend restoring this thing, you could buy a completed one, and a beater for winter.
This car is gone bud, unless the owner had sentimental value there’s no point restoring it
@@MrZenapher That maybe so. If there was someone with the skills and desire to save it, it might be possible. Then again it might not. The cost to replace the missing parts needed to restore it may indeed be too high. Just thought it might be worth a more in depth evaluation. But, you may be right.
Honestly just removing the AC and bs wiring improved things drastically lol. This is pretty cool. These sorts of projects require patience. Lots of folks don't have it.
Mortske Monday
love the history video's
Lucky winner
I'm happy enough with the video I just wanted to mention it looks like a number 12 wire but spliced to a number 14 but yes you would still use the 1210 connector. They're awful big I think for thicker insulation wire. Lot of times I want something clean and I will trim 5strands off a number 12 wire and use it in a 14/16 butt splice
Glad to hear it, will do!
You could probably have done a much shorter show on what was done right on this thing. I'm going to call it The Purple People Killer.
oh for sure!
I recently acquired a 64 fairlane and immediately re-did the electrical under the hood - I found 171 zip ties under the hood. I used split nylon wiring loom wrapped with heat/abrasion resistant tape, and have just six zip ties now.
There's holes in the floor. First priority, put new wheels on it. Truly a man of my own heart😄
Very true!
I like it, if only that purple paint would shine up! Great video as usual Mortske keep up the good work, funny when you give it some beans and duff looks at you like really.
Finally! I spotted that trans am next to your shop a few videos ago. I’ve been waiting for it. Never mind what the jerk before me said. We watch your show Mortske, to hear what YOU think. Keep doing what you do man. 👍👍🙂
As far as the helpers on only one side.. I know Mopar used to put an extra leaf on one side to help with wheel hop/axle wrap. So, maybe that was the intention
I recall the silver anniversary trans ams were very desirable back when they were just nice used cars.
Man that thing is a hot mess, love watching you knock out the issues one by one! And I am learning a bunch thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Oh I can absolutely see why he didn't want to be there when you picked it up. What a piece of work.
Bahaha
Call it the "Purple Heart" It has been through many battles and still has war wounds. Can it be restored to good health . . hmmm, maybe it should be parts donor. Good video! I found it very entertaining and insightful.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'd have some fun with it then when the right frame & body comes along yank the motor & drivetrain out swap it over the front end too ! You got a great deal at $3500.
Name the car "Studio 54". It's everything about the 70's.
"no kisses, that's for the ladies." Forget the slingshot, that is full on mullet-mode ENGAGED. The Purple Dragon is kicking a55 and taking names...
That is the worst Flaming Duck I’ve ever seen, definitely a parts car, great video Mortske
Glad to hear it, will do
BTW the strap on the dash is called a 4-barrel strap😮 because when you hear the four-barrel kick in you hold on😮😊

Ah, Mr. Mortske, another excellent show! At least now you have a lot of extra wires 😂. I have a name for your new acquisition, "Purple Parts Eater".
Keep churning out the quality programming we all know and love.
21:07 a guy who used to do sub work for us doing fire alarm systems. Would use white masking tape on everything. He would disagree its not for electrical. Lol😂
I owned two 1979 10th anniversaries. Sold both in eBay. 😢 I wish I could afford one again. I've done a LS1 in a 86 Trans Am I also sold on eBay. As soon as i saw it with the front wheels, the Trans Am fenders, wheel flares, and the interior door panels - I had flash backs. Note this wasn't a "ram air" car. The 6.6L came factory with the shaker hood. And I'm doing a 5.3 in my 87 Trans Am now. This is so awesome to see. Mortske please sell me this on the low 🥹 I just want the body.
Could be yours!
I know I don’t know much about mechanics but, it amazes me that you got that torch that close to the engine without catching something on fire , it being that close to gaseous vapors and all…
Nahhhhh
It's name is the Bandit Breaker, because there is no way Bandit could survive in that lol
Glad to hear it, will do!
Mort, the Right Thing To Do is, sell this heap to Derek at Vice Grip Garage, so that he can make two MORE amusing videos, fixing everything wrong with it!
Hey buddy I had a 77 98 olds with a 350 V8 and 400 Turbo and it was Baby Blue. I love that old car and it had cruise control
The Purple Nurple. Smoked the tires. Totally diggin it!!
Like the safety tip. Lost my shop in 19 to a battery charger. No torch or welding. Went inside to grab lunch 50 feet away and came back and it was rolling.
They scare me
Duff went into survival mode for the donuts ! Ole zip tie is a ripper !!
From someone who doesn't know, what's wrong with flux core welding? I bought the cheap spark box flux core welder from the Hobo Freight to give my first shot of melting two pieces of steel together, actually worked out pretty decent for my first attempt at welding
You’ll have to do your own research
Mortske Repair Friend i would like to see you save this rare Pontiac Trans Am, with the LS Swap, and fix her up the right way ,she would be a cool Project when done right 💪💪😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍
Good safety Talk--along with a good watch. Dont be afraid to smile a little more.
About 40 years ago I found a 69 mgc that had the interior burnt out of it and sitting in the wrecking yard for 15 years, I dropped a Buick V6 and a turbo 350 with a stage 2 shift kit into it. Found out I had to have the rear axle shafts turn down to add Flex because I kept ripping the splines off the shaft and blowing up the spider gears, that's why you can't find any more of those parts because I use them all. I had found a four-barrel Quadrajet intake laying on the ground in the wrecking yard and build a two and a quarter inch wraparound exhaust system so I wouldn't have to cut into the car itself . For the drive shaft I used a double Cardinal U-joint out of a station wagon, shortened it and build a adapter plate to bolt on to the rear end itself so I didn't have to worry about the angle of the shaft. All this to say I'm sure we all have ghosts in our closet .
Awesome
The 1980 turbocharged v8 Indy pace car firebirds also had front and rear disc brakes. A friend of mine in high school had one for a couple years.
You should call it Zippy, after all those neatly trimmed zip ties😅
I love the guy that put this swap together!
For a minute I thought I was watching Vice grip garage 😂👍
I'm liking that Little Build. I'm with you put some floor pans in it hell put that hood back on it that was the best part I'd probably throw some square tubing in there enough to where I could open it up stepping it up a little bit maybe put some round bar around it so it'll hold in shape looks like it needed some outer rockers on it I find me a couple used seats those new seat covers over the front same color just fix the odds and ends on it that's a nice little car something fun for the weekends maybe a car show
I was waiting for the hood to be thrown lololol

This ppd uh revival, needs his own channel with Duff supervision!!!!
Keep that 79 trans am it is the boss I'm telling you I had a 77 it was off the chart I bought it brand new in August of '76 Love that car and it was just like yours with the LS but I had the 400 6.6
thanks
Hey mate, thanks
Man , thats is definitely a 10th anniversary TransAm with the WS6 suspension . It is too bad the original 403 is gone but it has a ton of potential , and by the way , those are T Tops not a moonroof and its NOT a ram air car , it had a shaker hood scoop that was originally non functional
Glad to hear it, will do!
Hey Mortske: Not your worst buy of Muscle cars and it'll eun and drive with some success and it's Duff approved... From the home of PB Blaster and Permatex... Cleveland, Ohio,,,, Worth a few sammitches,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Hey mate, thanks
That oil pan looks like an LH8 Hummer H3 unit. Those are shorter than the factory truck pans and are commonly used in GMT400 or squarebody swaps. The bell housing on the H3 trans is different than other 4L60s, hence the mismatched oil pan bolt.
Interesting
You said it best CHOP IT UP ! If not it could be a NICE build! 10th anniversary! 👍🏽 ive had my 88 10th anniversary RX-7, for 25 YEARS! 1 of 1500 ! 700 in usa , on registry page and other sites ,guess down to like 300-400 left as of 2022... Yes this is Entertaining for sure!!!😅

Those front tires, the Firestone Wilderness A/T, likely in 235/75r15, were discontinued in the mid '00s as a part of the largest tire recall ever with the Ford Explorer.
That look in Duff’s eyes! I’m in danger! 😂
no doubt
The whole thing is like a bad trip so I would call it the purple microdot 😂
Gives me so much hope for the all original 85 t/a I just wasted 3k on.
Good luck
If the car needs a name, how about The Fire Bandit? Those helpers on the left side springs are probably there to prevent the springs from flexing during acceleration.
Put in a factory ws6 rear 4pt roll bar flea bay or something with have a take out if you're looking to paint the se package was that original turbo 301 car I believe they are factory turbo wheels great project

I have owned my 78 Trans Am since 1991 and back in my teens I had a glorious Mullet hanging out the T Tops. 😂
Very nice
I believe those wheels are prism, I have 2 sets of them 15x8 and 15x10, I have them under a Jeep XJ, they are popular for BMWs here in Iceland.
I use them for burnouts and I think that shitbird would make an awesome tireshredder with dual sushi slicers
Lucky winner
Lmao thanks for bringing the mullet back out 🤣
Always a pleasure
When you're at work and can only listen! 😊
The catch can is to remove the oil from the PCV system before going back into the intake. It has nothing to do with keeping it off the track, there is no reason it would go there in the first place.
You could always call it the Turkey Buzzard 😂
Glad to hear it, will do
Enjoyed your video. I bought a new "79 Trans Am with the 403 Olds. Nocturne blue with T-tops. Great car. Wish I still had it.
sweet
That was a Silver Anniversary ! Csn tell by the embroidered eagles on the doors and seats, and the way it is !
I love seeing u having fun and enjoying ur self driving fast please do another episode with this car.this was my favorite episode great content mortske
100% right bud. That was the first thing I thought of seeing that wiring. 🔥 don’t want problems because of someone else’s stupidity..
Good tip on torch safety! Did a lot of work in local paper mills years ago, There was no 'hot work done in the last 1/2 hr before shift end. Fire prevention! Also had a man on fire watch for obvious reasons.
Heck ya
Darn it the spider jump scare got me again
