      Cheaper just to build another factory motor , and make it bullet proof.

    I just acquired an LS aluminum 5.3 I'm considering slapping turbos on and doing this with a 3000gt. Always wanted to do it. Thanks for the videos

    great video friend! i have a 95 sl that i've owned for 10 years and finally spun a bearing, so im also going to do an LS swap. i've got the front subframe from a 70 camaro and the lr4 from a 2007 cargo van. plan is to drop the entire stock front sub, engine and trans all at once, clean out the engine bay and cut the camaro front sub into the car and go from there. should be fun!

    Yess!!! Been daydreaming about a 5.7 Hemi Stealth for a while. Carbureted, dual quads, all motor. I have an engineless 92RT/TT thats been sitting around for a while. I already have its twin, but all together and running, so now its time for somthing crazy!! Its tempting to look at the relatively rare 5.7 AWD Hemi cars as a donor and use everything, but the added weight makes it no faster without engine mods, so maybe straight RWD is the way to go.... We'll see!!

    Hey your videos have been a huge help. I have a ls2 swapped 3000gt. Got everything running and driving, but ackerman and bump steer is impossible to figure out. Recently got a low profile oil pan to move the steering rack back more, but struggling to find a good way to connect it to the steering knuckles. Any chance you can show the steering knuckles design and bump steer joint connections? Also how you are going about measuring ackerman and bumpsteer? Any steering advice would be greatly appreciated!!

      Getting the steering to work is biggest crisis for me as far as building a v8 Stealth. Im gonna be lurking in your comments and replies LOL!!!

    • @mdoe8
      @mdoe8  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Steering took me forever to get right. I’ll go over that in a future video, but you can also check out older videos to see what I did. Was able to get parallel Ackerman (latest setup ha the ability for positive) and have zero bumpsteer.

    I'm thinking a 3.6l pentastar with a nag1 transmission and a 3.90 rear diff and me personally I would upgrade the brakes as well, like another thing I wonder is, would I be able to use the AWD crap that the car with a supercharged V6 which can produce 650hp if done right there's this one guy boosted luckey he did it with a challenger pretty badass too

      Might help. There is still a small “bell housing” off the engine in a c5 setup, might work though.

      Doable, but would be quite a bit more work. A lot more difficult and a lot more complex.

  • @alexomarwright
    @alexomarwright ปีที่แล้ว

    What is your current solution to the steering? I know you had gone through a few iterations. I have a 95 sl that I want to put a 6.2 in. I have looked at getting a vr4 rear subframe but haven't found one and realize the mounts aren't the same on the sl. I was considering a 2018 and up mustang 5.0 irs to swap into the rear. If you have an sl what would be your recommendations for the rear? Could you use the vr4 spindle assembly on the sl rear? I'm gonna try and replicate your subframe for the engine, been staring at your pictures on 3si. I can get my hands on a millermax 161 but will probably get a primeweld 180 mig welder for this prioject or a harborfreight titanium mig welder.

    • @mdoe8
      @mdoe8  ปีที่แล้ว

      There are some great write ups on how to put a vr4 rear on fwd models. Search around on 3si, great info there.
      Steering I’ll be going over, but it’s hard to explain the mounting. I’m using a power steering rack from a 2008 mustang and it’s tied to the factory Corvette pump.

    • @alexomarwright
      @alexomarwright ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@mdoe8 if I could find a complete rear vr4 subframe I would definitely go that route. might be able to get a stripped vr4 if it has the subframe minus the diff it might be worth me getting and using a Ford 8.8 or something in place if the mitsubishi diff if I can't find one.

      @@mdoe8 lol love the humor. Thanks for not only going through with the build but documenting and providing a recipe for others to follow suit. These cars are really cool but unless you have a VR4 model they suck in NA V6 FWD configuration. They're a nice looking car still today and deserving of a powerplant upgrade if not already a built VR4
