Just a suggestion: If you use a low pressure pump and run it into a 1-gallon sump tank with the high pressure pump, it's really easy to change your fuel pumps if you ever have trouble.
changing a 2001 4.8 to a 5.3 engine in a Silverado
Yeah most people have no idea how well having a fuel surge tank up front works.
Or you can cut an access hatch in your trunk and just access it there.
Best tutorial on TH-cam. Thank you.
Love the channel and the content you guys put out keep up the good work!
Love the HOT air intake
Love the vid much love
The best part about an LS Swap is the hurt feeling when I lift the hood of my old Ford.
Fuck yeah brother. My 1960 f100 loves its 5.3! And the purists hate it. But ford made so Chevy can shake it!
@@kylecunningham46 uhh def wrong lmao please take an old 454 against a 6.0ls
@@kylecunningham46 ford has a few good options yes, but way over priced.
I could bolt in a barra, but I'm only gaining fuel economy, I'd like to also improve the weight and balance of the car
Was anyone else offended by the welds on those headers?
I welded for the first time last weekend and my welds were better than that....
You're lucky that 100 shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake
*made in china*
Alec Mittman that and the MAF sensor port looked like a 5 year old got ahold of the welder well it was made in China so it probably was a 5 year old
Exactly
Holley recently came out with a water pump that has the mounting points made into it for the accessories, a one piece unit.
thats a 56 chevy not a 55...
3madeamps #3 in nc was gonna say something but y'all beat me to it
3madeamps #3 in nc I was going to say the same thing its a 56
I think they did that on purpose to get comments?
3madeamps #3 in nc GOTTEM!
56 not a 55.
Around 04:05 you mention 2-3 different ways to configure a fuel delivery system, specifically the fuel pump and last mention the external fuel pump but only show one picture/item that being the external fuel pump... Are we to assume that the easiest and most hassle free method of resolving this issue is indeed the aftermarket external fuel pump in builds where the other two options aren't easier? Maybe a good rule of thumb being to go with an external and check if other easier options are available, and make sense, later?
Just drop in a 383 Stroker with carb, one wire to the distributor, one gas line and fire it up.
And save yourself about 5 grand.
@@mikemcorky5418 true... but this is a gateway for alot of other possibilities.
Is that reliable over time?
Yeah and then realize when you want cylinder heads that flow well it will cost you the price of a LS swap. Of when you want to fuel injection it, it'll cost you the less than a LS swap
I want to drop an LS engine into my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. This page is helpful in guiding me!
Any suggestions!!
Completely off topic but what's the wheel and tire size on that Bel-Air because it looks sick and would like to use it on my own
Yea ! The engine computer harness is about 1500 dollars . the harness going to the transmission is another 1000
Will the trans adapter work with a 2004R? I assume it would?
I was inspired to get a second job if I am using this model to do a swap.
Building a 84 cutlass, does a 6l80e fit or is a 4l80e better? Which one would you use?
That sbc 350 is still the poor boy go to couple wires and done
Question , I want to put a 5.3 vortech into a SN 98 , what do I need to change ? Please I need help
I would like to be considered for a ls swap for my 03 infiniti g35 any sponser out there
Yeah, spend $2164 on the MSD setup instead of a few hundred for a custom harness, or $0 and strip the harness yourself.
Aj Johnson just redid my harness literally a few hours ago. Took me about 16 hours including 6hours of just reading what pins to take ouf and different guides. At least now I know about my engine and harness
Will that help with a swap on a range Rover p38?
What is the Company and Part number # for LS to TH400 adapter Ring Not shown in Video ??????
A 55 have curved signal lights 56 and 47 have square signal lights
"just like this 55" clearly a 56
Its a 55 modded 56 clone recently read an article on it
Brb gonna go ls swap my 04 sentra
What is the link for chevy perfomance for that ecu adapter?
Do y'all have a kit for a third gen camaro
This guy sounds like he's definitely seen one up close
I have yukon Gt 95 i want to swap engine to 5.3 how much cost ???
Hey that’s a cool color what’s the color code I wanna paint my car that same color
Can some email the list of part rat needed to do a 1986 caprice classic lax swap
why does the inlet and outlet on the rad have to be on the same side? surely you could just run a longer line?
Not up North or in California, it's against the law mane...
All of this is 7000 dollars
I wanted to make a quick question I am wanting to swap out my 5.3 silverado engine and putting it in a s10 or a Mustang but that is besides the point I am wanting to know if it is possible to put a cummins engine into my 2000 silverado please answer back
Anything is possible with money and determination. Easy? Maybe not. Possible? Sure.
Julio Bafillo look up deboss here on youtube, he specializes in cummins swaps into different vehicles.
I think there's a Silverado on here with a Cummings
Give me and engine and trans for my caprice!
Im looking into LS swapping my 1998 Buick Century with an LS4. from the looks of things headers might be an issue, does anyone know of a company that makes a set of headers that might be compatible with what i'm trying to do? or would I have to get them custom built at an exhaust shop?
1998 Buick Century? That's a retard project unless you use the front wheel drive transaxle out of a 2006-2009 Impala ss. Get another piece of crap that's rear wheel drive and save yourself the hassle. Converting the Buick to rear wheel drive would be an insane and unjustifiable amount of work and fabrication.
@@johnq.citizen8076 Damn, I can tell you're a real asshole. If you have something helpful or constructive to say, I'm all ears, otherwise you can fuck off and let me enjoy my car and project in peace. She'll be the ultimate sleeper when she's done
None of this looks budget friendly
Its all unnecessary
fuzzy wuzzy honestly if you can’t afford this shit, you can’t afford a LS....
M Barilla why do you say that sir.
morris montgomery because he’s probably the guy who bring $500 less than what the motor is listed for on a bargain find motor. Then uses all old or wrong parts just cause it’s cheap which causes more work and more head ache down the line.
Than doing it right the first time by buying the proper modernsupporting mods for this modern motor like he should.
I tell people al the time, just because it works doesn’t mean it’s right. Do it right the first time.
But there will also be those guys who use fuel pumps from a 87 truck for a 2010 motor and wonder why it blew up from a lean condition 5 years later. Or hack their wire harness and leave shit grounding out instead of pulling or buying the proper new built harness.
@@mrmidnight32 ok bro
Nice. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
OMG! The 80s called and want their drum machine back.
You almost lost me when you called that 56 a 55.
Any recommendations for a 3rd gen 92 Chevy camaro manual transmission
T5 t56 tko500 or 600 would all be nice options
ORRRR, or you can just stay with the old small block Chevy for about 1/4 to 1/2 the price and still make about the same power. But if you got 15K to spend for all this stuff, I recommend a big block chevy. It will make more power then either of them without even trying.
Reliability is key though. I love older carbureted 350's and 454's built them all my life. Of course you can make a ton more power for the money but you lose that in reliability. I'd drop a BBC in something I may drive on the weekends or something but I'd swap a ls in a heartbeat for a daily. Imo
And the most important part is where is it making the hp in the power band. Horses to horses LS will win every time
Cheap and easy to add a single turbo to the LS with very little modification to what you've already done for the LS swap and make a guaranteed 500 whp for less than it will cost to build a BBC making the same power with the same reliability.
I love BBCs too but the LS is an amazing platform for cheap reliable power.
Want to attach a 6L90E automatic transmission to my 2007 Corvette engine and put in a older vehicle!! What all will I have to do to make it work properly?? Shifting automatically , ETC?? Can the ECM be reprogrammed to work with the new mating transmission and what will I have to use with the transmission?
Bobby Brown look into wiring diagrams, and figure out what pins control the tramsmission. You'll need some kind of custom tuning program like HP tuners
Bobby Brown contact just Chevy trucks in lebanon maine. they have stand alone transmission harnesses for that kind of thing. along with stand along engine management.
Bobby Brown you can look them up on TH-cam also.
Nice plugs for chevy performance. $15k worth of ls goodies.
james griffin yeah, this was nothing more than a thinly disguised infomercial
I drove a 8 year old 55 Bellaire to high school.
Hi I have a 2006 LS1 6.0 motor I converted to carburetor I added a 622 lift cam headers and Emma's d but I am getting misfire through the carburetor blowing out can you help me please
Me too it miss fires
I got mine from my buddy’s 92 Camero rs that he totaled around the time they had it re-built with a big bore and a 700r4 transmission
He sold it to me for 500 w/transmission no bs but it miss fires
It wants to haul ass but that’s stopping me
where can I get a 6.0 LS1 ?
S.I. Thug no where there’s no such thing
@@drakedawg313 what gets me that these dudes out here don't know what they are talking about truck motors are not 5.7 and lsx are large bore non production performance blocks I love my 5.3 swap fuelie will soon add a blower to it hope to get a ls3 or an lt in the soon future but thank you for the answer because these clowns couldn't lol 6.0 ls1
HOW DO I ODER THE WHOLE SET I WANT IT FOR MY MAZDA RX 8
Pagiwa nicholas RX-8 will be a good swap :-)
We have a guy here in Oklahoma who did one
I saw and talked to this guy who did the LS RX8 and it was a pleasure to see the attention to detail and all the custom built/made from the drive shaft, radiator, adapters for all sorts of things, different trans, rear end, and shifter. honestly I don't remember exactly everything he told me but the body and interior was the only thing left factory. it was the best sleeper their in my opinion. purple RX8 ls1 swap
Most guys out there don't have the funds to call or order what they need ? Most guys will use what ever they can get on the dirt cheap. Which more of a headache but less money . If it was me ? Built not bought. Js
I'm new to this kind of stuff. so can you LS swap any car? like a 2001 s4 1.8T Quattro?
OnyxFox 09 yes as long as the engine bay has enough space but even then you can modify the engine bay but make sure you get it checked out by an engineer
@@denis7738 alright thanks
Ive got one i a 1984 vw rabbit, so yeah it can go anywhere
i just want to know the color of that '56
Yep, definitely a 56 Chevy...not a 55 👎
Song?
How hard would it be to put an ls1 in a 99 dakota
Beau Patterson it would be very pointless. Funk a dakota
When using a 700r4 behind an ls how do you account for the tv cable?
don't, 700r4 will snap if nor rebuilt
The MultiChannel 87 /
This is why I stay off forums, I’m not asking for an opinion on whether or not I should use this transmission I know how much torque and horsepower it can handle I just need info regarding the tv cable.
Bow tie overdrive sells a bracket part#tvezls1br it will only fit drive by cable throttle body.. 700r4 should handle the power
i used all the truck engine parts why buy parts when U got a welder!!!
Opening song??
the drive pulleys and ac pump are nothing like whats installed in the car on the video.
Joseph Bednarik that's okay it's about the engine not the specific application in that car.
I want to do an LS4 swap on my Lancer GTS but I don't even know if that's possible
The gm muscle car swap pan is junk, unless you have stock height truck I wouldn't use it for any car it's a hummer pan which the sump hangs too low ....... stick with a holley 302-2 or -3
God those headers are trash did you see the flanges
That Atomic kit is no longer available!
Hi can I use LS engine for my 1999 mitsubishi pajero ?
LS Swap the world!!!!!!!!! lol
1956 Chevrolet
I can get a ls and do the swap with 3-4k this stuff in the vid worth bout 15k domes just unnecessary there plenty of cheaper genders with deals though.
So how much is this whole kit?
Mr. G probably about 4k
Too much
Did anyone else see the rust before the collector on the headers? LOL
The products you show would cost more than most projects entire cars value. $20,000?? Maybe more?
i did my entire swap for less then probably any product in this video.
How thow
@@wannabem334 do your homework. There are many things that can be bypassed by purchasing an LS with all the accessories, computer, and wiring harness from the original vehicle.
pdgeman hmu I wanna pick your brain lol I wanna do one but I'm still on the fence about it for a lot of reasons but money being a big one if you can explain some stuff I sure would appreciate it hmu on messenger even I'm not hard to find you have my name if you have the time thanks
How? I would like to know as well. I am swapping a 6 liter into a 94 caprice.
I’m on the same boat I wanna do an ls swap on my 99 regal with an ls4
That’s a 56 friend
“I think ill drop a coyote instead of an LS” -No one
😂 👌🏻
except for ford NPCs
0:36 Pretty sure that's a '56 Chevy.
How does this video not have more down votes?
It cost 3200 just to get an ls in a gbody that’s with out motor or trans damm
Wait but the 12 year olds on the forum told me it drops right in after I buy it from the junk yard for $500.
New engine and transmission mounts, VATS delete on factory ECU, repin factory harness and cut out the unnecessary stuff, swap in factory dual fan radiator, add factory drive by wire pedal, Walbro fuel pump from EBay, then turn key and drive. All but the mounts and fuel pump can be sourced from a wrecking yard, and you can even use a fuel pump from there if you're really stingy on cash.
If you can't handle a simple, and cheap, swap like this maybe you should refrain from bashing those that know how to, can and *have*.
Randel Clawson you missed my joke entirely 🤣
Just cut everything out. I take the 2003-2007 5.3 an 6.0 engine transmission and all hardware. I literally cut the truck off of the motor and transmission
It's actually a 1956 Chevrolet
hmmmm any car...yeah... nope. i tried. cant find any for my 91 beretta...
Qyrelazi Tv
LS engines are everywhere, get crate motor or a junkyard motor and start figuring out how to wedge it in. Just because the is not a kit for your car does not mean you can't.
Damn it’s a 56 Chevy! At least try to know what the hell your working on! Smh
Isn’t that a ‘56?
That 55 Chevy is a 1956.
It’s a 56 bud
That's a 56 not a 55 which makes me question everything you said
Ls swap essentials : Money
Why does it sound like your asking questions!!
56 Chevy not a 55 but ok

We've only scratched the surface here.. No shit

This is a 1956 chevy not a 55.
