Jesse is an awesome guy. He took time from his busy schedule last year to answer my emails and set me up with steering / suspension items for my 67.
Thank you, I’m always happy to help.
I could pick that transmission guy's brain for hours. You can tell that guy has some knowledge and a passion.
So true! That’s why we’re working with him. The support will be there even after install
Thank you! We love what we do!!
I will take more of these long form videos. Love hanging in the garage. Im here for it!
TAZZY!!!
Level 7 is hands down my favorite shop you go to. Dude is so humble and has a wealth of knowledge!!
The whole time I'm watching this video I'm researching about the trans swap. This is an absolute game changer.
I think so
That was outstanding for that dude bringing and his wealth of knowledge on the NISSAN 6 speed transmission!
KUDO'S my friend!
Respectfully, Seth
Thank you!
The quality of your videos are head and shoulders above most TH-cam channels. I’m really enjoying the collaboration with Level 7. My 2 favorite channels. I feel bad about the comment I made on your first video with the obs. You set me straight and I apologize. Keep up the great work
No worries from me, man! Thanks for the support and kind words. 👊🏼
How does this channel have less that 100k subscribers? The content and editing has the quality of a full production tv show that you would see on velocity or any other television networks.
Haha working on making it more consistent and maybe that’ll help. Tell ya friends! Thanks for the kind words
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS my buddies that are into trucks already watch and have ubt merch
Sick setup for the OBS or anything else for that matter. Love the ingenuity that LOJ has provided to support Hot Rodders with proven and readily available parts that won’t break the bank. Great episode.
Thank you! I agree - LOJ is giving us options and I’m down with that.
Thank you! We're a small company and love helping the niche markets out!
Wow!! I was fully aware of all the CD00xx options but completely unaware of the frontier unit. Great information on a very cool option for retrofits
Just traded my Nova for an LS Swapped OBS Chevy. Back in the truck life. Thanks for the Motivation. Will be ordering some new UBT gear soon.
Gonna be a blast of a truck! I know from experience the LQ9 are scarce. I have been saving the 6.0L's from the salvage yards for yrs the LQ4 is more available. I sell them running. I probably have sold over 50 of them in the past few yrs.
Dang guys you need a (question - answer) session so cool can't wait to see how it evolves.
Coming soon
Awesome setup with the LS Engine and the Nissan manual transmission, great cost saving episode, thanks! I’m from Hull, Georgia and can’t wait to see what Brownie is capable of! Keep at it and I enjoyed this episode and that transmission guy in my book is Mr. Transmission from now on.
Haha, thank you
A proper build shop in Marion. I never thought I would see the day.
Haha. We have been here since 2012.
Finishing uo the video now but the transmission guy had a mannerisms lime someone I've watched.toon me a few minutes to figure it out but life uncontained on TH-cam is who he reminded me of(not a bad thing).Great information and great content like always
The episode I’ve been waiting for. The trans is gonna make this truck so much more fun
I sure hope so!
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Oh you know so!
Happy for you! Well deserved. I just scored a 2003 6.0. With 4l60e 4x4. $800. 🤷🏿. From a friend. With ALL the swap parts pulled from donor. I’ll probably sit on it for 3 years and then clean it. 😂
Yes sir!! That is gonna be a nasty setup in the OBS
Thanks brother!
Can’t wait to see this motor and transmission going into the truck it’s looking like it’s going to be amazing Robbie!!! Great job as usual!!!
Thanks for watching! Pretty dang excited
That's just one more reason the OBS is gonna be so cool!
I’m so stoked!
Are you sure that's a budget build because that's a wicked-looking setup 😎🕺💃🌭🍔
Budget 6 speed trans only lol
Killer video with tons of info! Love the content guys!
That's identical to my first truck love what yall got going on so sick
Man Robbie you make the best videos brother. I really enjoy your build content.
Thanks so much man! Tell ya friends
Thanks guys ! I'm doing an OBS 5.3 turbo deal for the street . I'll be doing this swap for sure !
Great video. Never thought about Nissan trans bolted to a LS or LT motor.
Well done gentlemen.. well done 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for watching!
Awesome episode, I know all about LOJ Conversions… awesome company but didn’t know about that new LQ4 based crate engine, really great stuff here!
you think buying a crate engine doesnt make sense until you entirly build a junkyard motor and then look at the final bill.
This is a great solution cause like Jesse said, you dont waste money tossing out the old injectors, intake manifold, cam, oil pan, heads etc.
It’s true
Hey Guys I’m just a pup in this square body world. I have an 84 C10 that I have been look to go manual. Not a lot of info out on this until now. Thanks for all of the info.
I think the 6.0 crate is great for a guy with a decent income who can afford the extra cost of convince. I'm tempted, but if I can save a few thousand and do the leg work instead I'll have to go that route. But I really like this combo a lot and this truck is going to be killer!
Gonna try to get one of those trans before the prices triple!
haha good move
Jesse, great video. I really enjoy your content. Your motor in Brownie is actually the look that i want in my 81 square body. Would love to see you make a video with the part numbers for that motor
Looking forward to seeing this build in person at some point. It's going to turn out really well! Cheers Sir!
You and me both!
That is a very cool setup
Very interesting video! Had no idea about Nissan transmissions. Sounds like a great option. The LS is cool too.
Thanks for watching!
I will say, the best choice I made was putting an Tremec in my truck. It sure sucked to figure out all the extra little things that went with it, but, was worth it in the end!
Going to be a sweet ride..
Love the combo and knowledge. Great video dudes!
This was a great video! LOJ fantastic overview. I have found a Nissan MT and picking it up next week. Crossing my fingers this works...
Someone hit the lottery or what? Truck is going to be sweet. 👍
lol lots of partner deals in there but still takes money
Nice when someone else’s is paying for your projects fr fr, all their lacking is someone to build their motors, and supercharge this biach
I wish I knew how to send u a pic. I bought a sweet 1995 W/T 1500 one owner originally paint ( garage kept and in amazing shape) that just rolled 100k miles. Super nice truck and so happy I finally found a unmolested truck
Shoot me an email unitedbytrucks@gmail.com
Hell yeah. So stoked for this.
What was that liquid you were putting on the injectors? Sorry if I missed it.
I think it was just an O-Ring lubricant.
Great video guys, that setup is awesome. I have an actual CD009 from a 2006 350Z thst I'm putting in my 66 GMC. I looked at doing the truck version, but couldn't find any at the time. If @lojconversion could figure out an adapter for the 4wd ones, that would be incredible, plenty of those up my way in VT. 🤙💯🇺🇲
I have some ideas... we'll see if I can some up with anything useful, haha
I agree I’m looking for a 2wheel drive Manual and can NOT find any but there’s a bunch of 4x4 transmission
Next level content here....love it!
😎🫸🫷😎
Thanks for watching!
That's gonna be fun...
Curious on the transmission for the future updates. I enjoy the easy servicing of universal parts that the others swap options come with; like the creativity though. I’m a squarebody guy, name pitch for someone’s build- “OBStacle” tag me if you use it? Haven’t seen it used anywhere. Love the channel.
Hey Robbie, do you not have a name for the truck yet? (If you do, I haven't heard it.) I'm thinking you got a NISMO Trans in an OBS truck
NISMOB
just thinking out loud
Hey Steve, if you see this, my name Rey owner of Rey’s auto 🚘 I’ve been amazed with your products all they way back 7 years ago when Matt at sloppy mechanics used your products for his ls swapped g35 .
I have a awd rsx k24 turbo build & a 1963 amc rambler both that would love to run your products please let me be a certified test mule I would more than gladly use either one of those vehicles or get a completely different one with a different engine to run your products. Hopefully you see this thank you very much. Love this video as well.
Very cool!
So jacked!
Awesome brother's
That crank shaft will get ya😂
Cool video. I am doing my first swap. Ls3/6L90E in a 03'Crown Vic Police Interceptor. N/A. Burnouts and ice cream lol. Maybe a track visit or 2 lol.
Very cool! Keep us posted on that
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS will do thank you
How big is this trans compared to a 4l80e? Asking because would love to swap one of these into my gbody
What holley setup is that, the Stealth but I thought it had injectors in the throttle body, not mpfi?
22:22 Nice bookends. 😉
Dewalt edition
That motor is twice what it would cost to build it. I know, because i just did one.
$4000 in a 6.0 bored to a 6.2. Forged flat top pistons, ls3 heads, much bigger cam, and the l92 intake.
Nissan 6 speed Very Interesting
Whatcha bringing to Battle In Bama?
Will this trans work for a sbc engine like mississippi mudd? Does he offer and adapter for the sbc?
Yep he actually mentions that near end
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS thanks brother, i missed that part. Good luck with the obs build. Cant wait to see her rip 😎
I just looked on LOJ's site to see just how "budget" this trans really is. But I don't see a turnkey transmission listed? (Just all the various parts to support it.)
That’s correct. Trans has to be sourced separately - either new or used. Stephen talks about how to do that in video
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Can you give us viewers that have never heard of this conversion before a rough idea of what it might cost us to replicate what you're showing us w/o partnership discounts? $4K, $8K? More?
@@SaneCayne if new trans, closer to $4k with adapter, clutch etc. if used, way less.
That's correct, we do not sell the transmissions themselves, just all the parts to support them. We can certainly help you find one though, just shoot us an email.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Well that's actually not entirely unreasonable. I might even say "budget" is appropriate in this case considering the usual lofty numbers we've been hearing in 2024 for go-fast parts.
What years from Nissan frontiers will I need the transmission from?
‘05-‘21 v6 2wd frontier
Are you doing much chassis stiffening on this build boys?
absolutely. TinWorks chassis stiffener is going in this one. That will be in the suspension episode. We even have some new suspension upgrades coming
Pretty jealous of how much space you have in your shop 😂
Surprised you arent leaving the knock sensors to keep that monitor the engine when autocrossing.
You don’t want to trust knock with an aftermarket ECU like Holley. Every good tuner we have used has said the same thing. Set the timing safe and run good fuel.
@level7motorsports thanks for the reply. Does the same apply for the stock ecu? I ran without for years with no issue and decided to toss some in this year with a different tune(swapped from cheap aluminum intake to a tbss).
@@PEDR0SKI No, all factory ECU's are great with knock. I will say more so the newer stuff then the older x24 ECU's.
My definition of budget is 2k for motor and 1k for transmission 😂😂even that’s a tough one
I am curious why you did not go with a ZF transmission and have paddles.
So many options but i wanted a manual 6 speed in the floor for feel, nostalgia, performance
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS I am building a 454 from a 95 c2500 for my 90 OBS, same reason. I already have a S/C'd LS in my '70 240z so I want the OG sound and feel.... I appreciate the videos. You're keeping me going on my projects....
What is the accessory drive system that you put on the front?
Holley mid-mount drive
Bro WHAT!? I live in Marion Illinois! Where the hell is this shop at??
This place is only 12 minutes from my house! How have I never known this. This is crazy, I've gotta see this truck! Marion is my hometown, lived here for 26 years! I've got a lifted '98 that I've put over $25K, I'd love to get you opinion on it! Looking forward to seeing you at the LMC Truck show!!
rhey need an adapter for an old school sbc
They can make one. Just takes a little more work up front before ordering. Hit up LoJ - they’ll get you taken care of.
does that nissan trans have the same short crappy gear ratio's as the cd009? oohh it does i asked to soon... who would put a ls swap... and a 6 speed trans... and keep stock rear gear... and hope you have a good cluch style diff... highly unlikely... i would stick with a t56....thats not really ment to be a neutral safety switch... that is a switch to kick off the criuse control if you hit neutral... who would want to fumble with trying to get the shifter back into neutral if you stall... 🤔
🤙👍
Sick build fellas, but for the love of God would you stop calling that a budget 6 speed, it's like the ar5 once you're done buying all the adapter parts you're thousands in the hole along with the price of the transmission
Half the price of a T56 Magnum all-in is budget in the 6 speed world.
When the next video of f this build dropping?
Probably in the next few weeks. Been going through a pretty extensive move but we’re filming back on the truck this week.
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😡
You mentioned the NV3500. That’s not even a serious option for any power. I have a 92 Silverado, nv3500, decent 350 small block. They don’t last forever. I imagine that behind any serious power it would destroy and nv3500.
Agree 100%, the point was more that while the NV3500, TKO, and other older 4 and 5 speed transmissions are direct bolt-on to the LS and other engines, they're not as good as the Frontier trans.
It's pure comedy that the title of the video has the word "budget" in it. How much do you have in just that motor alone? Lmfao
Budget is for the 6 speed swap. Not the crate motor. Lol motor is $6600 retail.
YOU cant say Budget and GM performance crate in the same sentence haha
Haha referring to the trans only and relative to a T56 magnum
Ok I tried, just can't do it, to much talking, just build the truck, I don't mean to be rude 🙄
Kinda was, especially when it’s free content. New things take a little education.
NOTHING COMING OUT OF HOLLEY IS "BUDGET"!!
I was only referring to the transmission set-up
@UNITEDBYTRUCKS
And thank you for your videos! I had been picking up AR-5's when I'd see them. But they are still a "truck" transmission. What gear ratios are the Nissan ones? Maybe do a video on pulling one from a pull-a-part to show what it takes toremoveit(?)
Lol "budget" build with all the sponsors 17k kit for normal guy
Only the trans is the budget 6 speed option - never said anything else was budget
budget ... then shows tens of thousands of dollars of parts
The trans set-up is the “budget” part of this - not the engine/parts for it
What year Nissan truck did he say to look for?

The wife has no respect for my guy
Dude you have no idea. I’m sure you’re just messing around, but Shawn (Jesse’s wife) is THE BACKBONE for us all. This was on a Friday night then into Saturday. She was absolutely taking care of us. She also runs Level 7. Like runs it.
