That 60 Pontiac has a cool body style. After doing a few LS swaps in old GM vehicles I have found that it is a money saver (& safer to drive) to go ahead and upgrade the front suspension, steering & brakes first and do away with the heavy stock cross member. I've also noticed the older the vehicle the more work & $ is required, but I hate vehicles with plastic interior.
Was curious on how the process was & you made it simple and very intresting. Just purchased a 68 impala and will definitely be swapping it out ! Nice car & Great video #2thumbsup
Great video! I heard the truck harmonic balancer works with the LS 1 waterpump. Do you notice any difference from using truck truck harmonic balancer from the Camaro?
Nice work car looks sick, can’t wait to see how it comes out. If I ever decide to move away from Honda’s and onto muscle I know what channel to go to. Stay safe brother✌🏼
What did you use for the gas pedal on this dbc swap? I'm doing a 63 impala & curious to know the gas pedal you used take take cable go thru the firewall
Fellow 🇨🇦 here...I have a question steve..love this Vid..putting a LS6 swap in my 60 X Frame wagon... I'm buying some red fuel rail covers BUT can not find the factory push pins that go on the coil packs(5 of them) what do you use???? Also I have most of the c5 stuff like you....can I use a truck idler pulley???? Cant seem to get a straight answer.
Thanks for quick response..I'm copying you and using c5 accesorys.. although Alternator going to cost more than I planned...🤷♂️ I'm in Victoria and have tried 2 GM dealerships and NO one can figure out push pins or part number... I'll check Rock for tensioner.. I'm using ls6 manny also..
Camped many a time with kids in "Gordon bay" 😀.. yes alternators same but decided to use original c5 accessory bracket...reasonably priced.. but I gather the clocking on the Vette alternator bolt holes is Vette specific...so might have shot myself in the foot..lol.
Awesome video Steven… I have a question Steven I’m a doing a swap ( ls2 gto engine ) on 68 Pontiac Catalina but I’m have a lot finding the right frame mount, which fram mount do you think is the perfect for my swap and oil pan as well. Thanks I would really really appreciate the help.
hello brother, I'm just wondering are there any engines you could recommend for a 1983 ford Capri? I want to do an engine swap but I don't want anything too powerful like an LS, preferably something to give anywhere from 160-190 hp, maybe low 200s. I was considering an m52 from the E36 but i feel that could be a little heavy for a capri
@@tunertorquetv you do realize no matter what you throw on a vortec it's still a vortec. So before you go crying out advice DO actual research sincerely, Somebody who's done this swap once🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@tunertorquetv don't be mad because yall take truck 5.3s and aren't allowed to call the BLOCK which is CAST IORN and not ALUMUNUM like the actual LS blcocks have🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 try again homie. You can't lie to a real mechanic. Go ahead and get caught in your feelings🤡
I bought a 2008 charger rt and I want to put a vette motor or something dependable should I just put a srt motor if I can get my hands on it or just build a 350 383 stick what would you do valve seals go on 5.7 smh any advice

Those jump packs are made by JNC and can be found for around $150. That one looks to be the JNC4000.

Am looking forward too a old school build
Great job.would love to do that to my 1988 Cadillac Brougham D elagance
Same. Once the current engine blows up it’ll probably get a 6.2 LS shoved down its throat.

Nice video! 👍🏻
Did you use a 4l60e with this swap and if you did, did the stock oil dipstick fit good or did you have to do any modifications?
Great job 👏
