Aside from the other magical things you do to cars, I have to give props to the extra TLC you put in when you sync up random things you do in the shop to the music beats.
Caleb, never use brake cleaner as a pre weld cleaner, if it pools up and you end up burning it, it will create toxic fumes that can give you permanent damage or kill you. There are many horror stories about it, google 'brake cleaner and welding'. Stay safe man! Your work is great.
I agree he should bring it back. I’ll wait until this series is done.. every TH-camr is doing or has done an LS swap in something.. the civic build was pretty dope
i love that he gives this whole speech ab how it isnt that important to have everything exact and important and then he’s like “welp im gonna go do exactly that”
@@JM-nd3ps yes. That’s the easiest way to install and remove an ls in any sort of unibody car. Hell thats how it’s meant to be done from the factory on corvettes, camaro’s, firebirds etc...
Anyone else notice how dirty his hands were when he said "I gotta think" and poked himself in the side of the head? Only to see the black spot on the side of his head in the next shot? Made me laugh a bit. Love that you left it in, no gains without getting dirty for sure! Love the new build!!!!
I want to race my sleeper against yours! I'm currently building an lsa swapped caprice wagon and I'm local so it would be awesome to meet up and have some fun at the track.
Best 10$ I've ever spent. Been watching you since the forza days and its actually so cool seeing you build your own stuff. And you're also the reason I love miatas lol
pro tip : you can even tilt your engine by a few degrees if you really need to (talking about crank axis tilt). On top of adjusting the left rigth position and the other tilt Neat build, hope you fix the rust
A good solution for the garbage disposal would be to setup a second can with anything that's not general junk and fills up the can fast. Like for example packaging that's not plastic. Straight into the other bin. I've managed to reduce my trips overall with 3 bags. Plastics, paper, and a stouter bag inside my actual can with everything else.
@@pieterjancousserier9900 depends on the setup. The one Taylor ray used on his miata wasn’t THAT expensive all things considered, and there’s almost always someone trying to sell an ls7 setup
hey Gingiuim, just a small trick on welding, idk what size tungsten you are using but as long as you have 3/32 tungsten you can run more amps than most welders can do. i work at a job shop use 3/32 2% thoriated tungsten (red) and ive ran 250 amps on AC and DC for a few minutes without stopping at all and the tungsten was fine, and with the 2% thoriated you can weld basically any metal with it, but it will not weld as good on certain metals that other types of tungsten can.
probably the hundredth person to suggest this but if you have the budget and are willing to sacrifice cargo space you could run a dry sump system, gaining more clearance under the engine.
It's be super cool in the final product if you had a switch or a lever that could redirect the exhaust through either some mufflers for the sleeper aspect, or through a straight pipe for performance!
I actually made the same mistake of welding with a brake clean soked towle on the same bench at work. I was in absolute panic when it happend while my co worker and boss was dying laughing when i tried to put the fire out😂 now i always check for flamible items around the place im welding😅
@@YelloEye true. i suppose for the youtubes its a good way to do it. but its painful trying to watch him build a oil pan when holley makes one that drops right in.
"okay guys, I decided it was too hard to put the LS in the front, so we're mounting it in the back and we're mating it to this Lamborghini Gallardo manual transmission provided by eBay" I lost it when he said that
The standard 4 cylinder sway bar won't work well with the V8 as it's too thin and has the wrong shape...but the V6 drop sway bar WILL work with V8 applications. There's a couple of places to source them. 1 place (STS Machining) makes the thicker V8 compatible sway bars and the V8 bolt-in motor mounts.
Def watch the Taylor Ray video "Top 5 MUST-DO Mods To Make An LS Engine Reliable. " Could save you a lot of money in the future. :D P.S. I have been going through all of these exact problems with my swap. I ended up dropping the subframe an inch as well as unbolting it for install and removal. Such is life.
Funny you say this is the hard part, I personally feel the exact opposite. Wiring, plumbing, and everything else takes so much longer than getting the engine mounted.
You should use some spare wheel rims and widen then ;) would look cool with those yellow labels that say ”dont drive on this wheel for a long period of time”
Looking good! That motor is so huge after being used to seeing Miata motors haha. Also please do be careful working under a motor that's just on a hoist, I don't know if that's normal procedure or not as I guess it's kind of hard not to, but would hate to hear of an accident where the hoist or strap failed while you're under it.
Caleb i know this was just some simple small fire. But please invest some money in a few fire extinguishers. You will be so happy you've bought them when you needed them. Small investment. Big result.

I ain’t no engine pan scientist myself but I would think that adding back the volume you took away from the oil pan seems like the right thing to do
Aside from the other magical things you do to cars, I have to give props to the extra TLC you put in when you sync up random things you do in the shop to the music beats.
Holley 302-2 Style pan. Off-brand replica's available cheaper on ebay for 200 or so. Just installed one on my LS Miata
👌🏽
Works mint. I have one on my turbo ls Volvo 240...
i’ve never been happier to see a volvo thumbnail on my phone

He would lol
And "NEARLY DIED IN AN HURRICANE TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH! *RISKY*"
I believe in that too 😅
im so sick of his content its literally just for views now
I thought I was the only one who hated TJ
YO GINGIUM AFTER THIS BUILD BRING BACK THE CIVIC. EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES MAN. BRING IT BACK 🤞🤞👍👍
I agree he should bring it back. I’ll wait until this series is done.. every TH-camr is doing or has done an LS swap in something.. the civic build was pretty dope
Everyone in TH-cam is doing a Honda build. They are boring
Yeah I think he should start working on the Lexus vip build
Lex needs a 2.3 whipple.
I think he gave up on civic. And throw away whole car.
i love that he gives this whole speech ab how it isnt that important to have everything exact and important and then he’s like “welp im gonna go do exactly that”
STS Machining makes a lovely subframe and mount set up that would work perfectly in this situation
You should put on a roof rack and some boxes and luggage on there for the extra sleeper look
Also, Install the engine and trans in from the bottom, already installed on the subframe.
No

This is the only channel I get anxious for anymore.
Im here since the days of molly and that black stock miata that turned into the rally miata, Im amazed of how far you've come man
Loving the build, can’t wait to see how it turns out
I couldn't see you at the beginning, I was so confused 😂😂😂
Genuinly didnt even see you in the intro until I looked real hard
Don’t ever use brake clean when your welding, the gas it creates will kill you
Best 10$ I've ever spent. Been watching you since the forza days and its actually so cool seeing you build your own stuff. And you're also the reason I love miatas lol
Yea I'm into fitness, fitting this whole Ls into my volvo
pro tip : you can even tilt your engine by a few degrees if you really need to (talking about crank axis tilt). On top of adjusting the left rigth position and the other tilt
Neat build, hope you fix the rust
That's gonna be so sick when it's finished man ! I admire your patience, it's never a straight line when modifying and working on vehicles.
Gingi is the type of guy to make a sleeper and post it on youtube
Oh no maybe you'll have to do a dry sump like a racecar. Shucks ;D
A good solution for the garbage disposal would be to setup a second can with anything that's not general junk and fills up the can fast. Like for example packaging that's not plastic. Straight into the other bin. I've managed to reduce my trips overall with 3 bags. Plastics, paper, and a stouter bag inside my actual can with everything else.
Shop towel fire crew here, I was welding above a small trash can, so I started a trash fire.
Great work man you smashed those motor mounts
man starts to think at 5:00 *leaves black dot on head for the rest of the vid*
We need this reviewed by RCR when finished. The only thing left it needs to be is B R O W N .
lol i have to binge watch this journey lol , such a damn good job with that custom axel
Literally my dream build
This things gonna be sick
This is my favorite project yet
Dry sump would be the way to go in this situation
Stupid expensive

Sleeper build finally 🔥 i wont skip ads if it’s Gingium.
Dry sump with auxiliary oil pump. That way you get more clearance with the pan and then you can mount the oil reservoir and pump elsewhere.
“I’m going to......... weld the oil pan up :D!”
“ I messed up :(“
YES. These videos make my day dude.🤘
I’m thinking of putting a built 5.0 in my 1992 Volvo 240 wagon I really appreciate you making the video on putting the 8.8 rear in
After he finishes he can go to the LSfest
West coast: volvo
Midwest and east coast: vALvO
Hammertime! Always surprising to see how stock a hammer-job on the transmission tunnel looks after a coat of paint.
"Huh...why is my welding helmet not getting light?... Sh*t! What's on fire??!"
No. I have never had that conversation with myself. I promise.
dang dude i remember watching you when you used to play forza and just started working on the miatas and it’s awesome to see how far you’ve come!
We long need longer videos. Keep up the work bro!
YOU MUST HAVE SWEED GENES! AWWESSOME! LOVE THAT BRICK! LOOKS LIKE MINE MINUS 550 HP. IM IMPRESSED
I’m glad I got my hands on a 240 wagon b4 u started. This build is going to raise the value of it 🤣

Sway bars acan be relocated with a universal blade type one if it’s in the way or needs upgraded with the extra weight of the v8.

I laughed so hard about the paper towel fire cause I've done that before and I know the struggle!

I feel like this is one that has been thought about by everybody at least i have is a sick build
We need this car to be done soon it will be damn fire!
Love the vids best car channel out there
I buy jeep leaf spring polly bushing kits for my engine mounts! Cheap and nice to have in my shop stock
That's a bunch of progress made!
btw happy thanksgiving!
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
I see a volvo sleeper build. I like.
Yet another awesome video! Thank you!
Talk to Taylor ray. He will probably help you with a dry sump setup and I think that will be the answer to everything.
it's been a long time since i see the last smallville
Great video
Get some texas speed prc heads for that build it would look much cleaner on the top and .maybe a holly intake ?
sts maching makes all the parts needed for this swap. complete drop in.
But then it'd be a 2 episode "I installed a bolton LS kit into my Volvo!" instead of a series.

maybe get 2 garbage containers? this build is amazing cant wait to see what it turns out to be
Dude. YOU. HAVE. A. DRILL. PRESS.
Do a sump setup in the trunk so you can get a different pan that will fit. Ask Taylor Ray
you should look at dry sump options
Dry sump maybe
You might have to go with a dry-sump oil pan like Tyler Ray did in his Miata.
The brake cleaner rag thing don't worry we've all done it
Funny you say this is the hard part, I personally feel the exact opposite. Wiring, plumbing, and everything else takes so much longer than getting the engine mounted.
What happened to the Gameium channel?? I’m tryna see some Forza content
Maybe it'll make a comeback some time. I'm just too busy to post on it!

Ever thought of a dry sump? Then build a tank for the oil and locate it somewhere else?
That is just what drysump is. But of you don't need it why install it
Caleb i know this was just some simple small fire. But please invest some money in a few fire extinguishers. You will be so happy you've bought them when you needed them. Small investment. Big result.
Also you should probably stick a cam and some stiffer valve springs in your engine
You can aways space out the subframe and mounting to give u some more space
Invest in a engine load leveler. It will make your life a little easier.
I think in an engine bolts are the most important part lol.
Do a rear sump oil system that will take care of all your issues.
Dry sump
Most liking have to extend that transmission hump to get the clearance. With your skills should be easy
Just became a Patreon. its nice
Glad you're enjoying it!
you should built a tiny go cart meant for taking out the trash

Go for a moroso oil pan gingium
Pillow to protect the pan 😂
