- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ต.ค. 2015
- some footage i found on my gopro that i recorded a few months ago and forgot about. nothing spectacular but just some easy driving then some nice WOT action at the end.
This has to have been the most satisfying 3rd gen firebird video ever.
Not really. Not when you own one and take pride and care of it and see one driving with the "service engine soon" 😓
@@austinhood The service engine light comes up when you remove the factory tbi/tpi harness and ecu from the car. Only thing you can do about it is remove the bulb. This happens on all carb swaps, ls swaps(regardless of FI or carb). Obviously, the car isn't completely done since there's no headliner.
@@austinhood bruh stfu
@@RareRS you drive a 4th generation 🤣🤮🤮
@@chaplaincrabtree6881 then he should've done that. 🥱🤷♂️
She sounds beautiful! I plan on doing the T56 swap on my 89 Camaro as well. I wasn't even in the car with you and I was smiling the whole video! More interior view rides?!?!?!
Yes there are a few more videos on my page of interior and exterior driving of this car. I also have some of my other thirdgen also.
it starts after the damn Honda Pilot min 6:00... nice ending! had me cheesing.
Awesome build buddy! Sounds mean 😈 I have a 91 RS which I did a super budget swap LT1/T5 I put in a 9 bolt posi disc axle, all z28 sway bar's, subframe connectors, all poly bushings throughout, have a set of C6 corvette brakes I'm gonna install soon too, these cars are a joy to drive!
im i the only one who was nervous about the water bottle falling hahahahaha
Im just glad I'm not the only one with service engine soon light on
Final destination
This video is better than listening to the radio. Love it
Thank you. Hopefully try to make a few more this summer with the new exhaust system.
Love the car and the sweet sweet sounds!
I'm 35 and I'm into these 3rd gen camaros. I rather drive one of these with a LS swap then a hellca, that 6:24 I was like 😍
Sounds awesome , I can’t wait now !!
This is why I love t-tops, looks like a jet fighter cockpit
Car sounds badass brotha ! Great build !
maaaan that was a nice ride! felt like I was cruising witcha lol. nice 5.3!!!!
Holy Crap!Love the pulls at the end Awesome!The car sounds great!That exhaust sounds mean.
Thanks the car is a blast lol
+screaming86 Do you have any pics or videos of the outside?
+Jason Phillips there are a few other videos on here of the car with the GoPro on the outside of the car. But I do not have any videos showing the whole car like driving away or anything. I have a bunch of clips and pictures on my IG of both of my thirdgens though. screaming86
+screaming86 Cool thanks Ill hit you up on IG.I just cant get over the sound of the exhaust. 5.3 is whats going in my Camaro and I want it to sound just like this.I like that popping noise coming off the RPM's.too cool!
Sounds awesome. I have a '91 vert. 😎
Just wow! Beautiful sound
Thank you! I need to dig this car out and get it going again.
This sounds so sweet
I love thirdgens more than life itself
Sounds awesome...
Sounds so good can't wait to swap mine
Love the video. I have had a LS1 4L60E 89 Camaro for a couple years and just this summer I swapped to a t56. This video makes me what to get my go pro out and cruise around.
89chevycamaro well do it man!
Please do
Sounds really good
God I miss my Iroc ... Nice car dude 🤘
I’m almost done with my swap and this makes me so excited
They are a ton of fun. I plan to make some new videos. I just “revived” the car from a two year nap.
That’s a mean sounding firebird, This makes me want want a third gen with a ls even more.
They are a good time. I’d like to ls swap my c10 next
I bet you feel like such a badass driving it
That thing sounds good man, nice piece.
Thanks!
Sounds good 👍🏻
Damn that looks fun
awesome
I love this I have a completely restored 91 RS with the all original 305 and I'm fighting myself to not take it out and LS swap it 🤣🤣🤣
Do it lmao
@@gabe22313 I didn't I went with a 400 horsepower crate motor
Thank you
she sounds goooooooooooooooodd
This car sounds heavenly & I'm a former Shelby gt350 owner.
Charles henson haha thanks!
@@screaming86 you're very welcome
Make more vids your cars are is sick
I like a lot
Man I have so much build ideas and each one iam like ok is it for track,weekend, restore, daily, daily and track😭😭😭 Iam gonna start with maybe a ws6 5.3 swap but daily driver 4l80e shift kit no shift kit or t-56 the tracks and weekend projects will be th400 hopefully I start working soon and start some projects for content but school has been in the equation jr year 😭
I have a 92 firebird and I'm looking to LS1 swapping it!!! What problems should I look out for???
How much power is this putting down at the rear wheels?
Did you have to modify anything for the T56 swap?
Holy shit 6:40 shit got real felt like I was in the car getting my 87 tomorrow found a 5.3 ls out a 2004 avalanche guess ima go head n get that to while I’m at it #convinced
Will be the best thing you ever do to the car. I need to dig this thing back out and make more videos!
@@screaming86 Def is I literally just got it uploading my First review w/ exhaust sound video check it out
seems like a perfect balance of chassis and power here. it wouldn't be as much fun with a big turbo or something.
1flynlow definitely wanting a little more power but yes with my area boosting the car would make it not as fun IMO.
what are your plans for "a little" more power? lol. Already sounds pretty healthy for NA.
1flynlow ideally I want to put an aluminum block engine in eventually ls2/ls3 with h/c and leave it at that. The current setup does run really well but the suspension needs a lot of work to make it hook.
I've spent a lot of time and money building my 85 V6 for boost but there's no doubt I should have went this route.
Best sounding 3rd gen i have ever herd.Looks like a lot of fun to drive. What exhaust are you running?Still single into a dual out muffler or did u change everything .
stephenjray1988 it's a single in/out setup that I built. Has 1 3/4" longtubes 3" collectors 3" y pipe to a single 4" exhaust in the stock location with a Dyno max race bullet and a single tail pipe out the back.
I hear that rear end begging for mercy
vfl rockytop don't worry, the stock 10 bolt would've grenaded by now
This video is awesome, makes me want to 6spd swap my 92....
You should
@@screaming86 that certainly will happen....because of this when my current 700r4 blows, a 6spd will be in the works! Thanks for the Video!
I want to t56 swap my 92 z28
Of your 71126 views, i'm like 100 of them! :D
Lmao well thank you! I’ll eventually get some more footage of this thing.
at 8:21 had to do what the sign said haha that thing sounds mean as hell wow
What all did you do to the motor cam,valves etc. also what kind of exhaust do you have I'm building my iroc I would like it to sound and perform just like this
What rear end are you running? I just bought a 92 Firebird and I’m trying to put a 5.3 LS swap in it and I know I need the T 56 but I’m trying to figure out if I have to switch the rear end out or will the stock through and work
figure it out? I blew my t5 and want to go the same route
Did an ls1 midplate and bell housing work for this swap? Any special type of pilot bearing?
Yes. However the trans itself is from a ls1 car too. I believe the bellhousing and trans came from a 2001 camaro.
I know this is an old video but I have a t56 now and I noticed how hard it is to get into first sometimes which I saw happen to you in the video and how hard it is to get it in reverse. Just wondering if you knew how to improve that.
Could be the clutch slave needing bled more or shimmed. I suspect mine needs shimmed I just have never messed with it.
Also what state are you in? The scenery is beautiful. It looks like a great place to go on a nice drive.
Mitchell Williams Virginia
I know this is an old video UT you say you are in Williams VA. Where exactly is that? I noticed you crossed Hwy 11 at one point on your drive. This Hwy parallels I81 though Virginia and I couldn't find a Williams anywhere near Hwy 11. I live near Hwy 11 in Knoxville TN and was just wondering.
Did the T56 bolt right up to the 5.3, or did you have to modify / change things?
Also is it a LT T56 or an LS T56?
Thanks
Smitty's channel its a Ls t56 no modifications for it to bolt up.
@@screaming86 thanks; I have heard from a few ppl that you have to change the input or output shaft, etc. because most all 5.3's were truck motors with automatics
Smitty's channel the only ones that would be different are the early iron headed 6.0 truck engines. They had a longer crankshaft. I’m using a centerforce dfx ls1 style
Clutch 01 t56 bolted to a 2001 5.3
@@screaming86 thank you
What kinda cam do you have in it? It sounds amazing 😱
It’s the old GM Hot Cam
What transmission you use and what did you have to do to get it to match up to the 5.3. Another youtuber said he used an 01 Silverado lm7 with a t56 out of a 2002 camaro but I’m not finding that t56 only 97 at the latest.
Rico Washington the engine is a 01 lm7 5.3 the transmission is a 00 or 01 t56 from a 4th gen fbody. You will need a 98-02 fbody t56 for a direct bolt up. Yes they had a t56 in the 93-97 fbody but the front plate bellhousing and I put shaft is different. The GTO mn12 t56 will work with the 98-02 fbody bellhousing and tailhousing and shifter
screaming86 thank you a lot that really helps. I’m pricing parts now and found a manual 86’ camaro for $650 a 05 lm7 for $450 just couldn’t figure the trans out
Nice car. You seem to be super itchy though.
That One Guy
Looks like he had a mosquito bite on his arm.
Sweet ride. Can I ask who's mufflers you are using and what your power level is?
Dynomax race bullet 4” inlet and outlet. I believe the case is 12”. Car made 333whp/340wtq with a rich tuneup and 100° air temps.
4"? Is that why it sounds like a big tin can?
How were you able to get your speedometer to work? I have an 87 firebird and i did a 383 swap and t56 swap but was never able to get the speedometer working again.
martin F just say fuck it and use gps lol
There is a “cable X” box you can buy to get it to work. Mine is wired in like factory.
awesome , but i gotta ask what's that light on the dash? oil pressure? lol
MrJohn613 no clue it’s some wiring issue I believe. Ses light staying on but hook up HPT and no codes thrown or saved. I’m also still having issues with turn signals not working correctly. Think I have a messed up ground somewhere.
@@screaming86 yes i was also recently considering grounds, after swapping the engine. from factory the harness and engine both have ground straps but i threw the old v6 body-to-engine ground strap away. my first 85 had a bad ground in the tail light harness, the reverse lights and even the tail lights would flash with the signals lol. its funny how a lack of connection causes things to illuminate but yeah bad grounds to funny things, especially if in the dash / cluster
what vehicle did you get your electric fans from?
Original single fan that came in the car.
What compression ratio is she running ? And timing ? She sounds really healthy
Stock LM7 so 9:5.1 and I’m wanting to say I’m around 26-27° total
if you don't mind my asking, how much does a swap like this cost. I would like very much to have a car like this but I'm 18 and have an extremely limited budget.
Well I bought all my stuff a little here and there and used a lot of used stuff and good deals on things. I think I have just shy of $4000 in my swap with t56 good clutch tick master cyl long tubes full 4" exhaust cam kit engine and everything to make it work in the car and run. It can be done much cheaper or more expensive depending on what you want. It would be cheaper to buy a donor 4th gen for 3-6k then part it out.
I just got a 89 firebird roller was a 2.8 with auto, wondering how hard it would be to put a 96 camaro lt1/t56 in!
Pretty easy just need to swap to the v8 mounts for a thirdgen. The wiring will be the hardest part but there are plenty of write ups.
Nice car man!! what all is done to the engine? H/C/I? and what exhaust set up do you have?? it sounds fantastic man!!!
Just a stock low compression 2001 5.3 from a Silverado baby cam ls1 Intake has longtubes into a 3" mandrel bent y pipe to a single 4" exhaust over the axle to a dynomax bullet with a single tail pipe out the back. The car is getting more compression cam and CNC heads soon...
it sounds fantastic man!! I cant get enough!
+screaming86 does it have a stock rear end?? and what gears are you running?
She fukkin rips man. I'm just finishing up a stock 5.3 t56 swap in a 240 Volvo and this ride got me all pumped up! Got some lame vids on my chan too... How much does yr car weigh?
Mr Reviews it all around 3200 without me in it.
Awesome video lv it that car runs man what exhaust you running
David Koon racing innovation 1 3/4 longtubes 3” collectors 3” hand made mandrel bent y pipe single 4” exhaust up and over the axle and put the back with a dynomax race bullet. I fabed the system.
@@screaming86 nice job man im starting my swap very soon 91 formula friebird t top 6.0. Swap 6sp thks try run ur set up on it
David Koon awesome! I really want a 91/92 formula lol. I wouldn’t trade this car for one but I would let my Z03 Z28 go for the right one.
whats under hood? I had an 89 formula 350tpi. man that car was a beast
haha I just read vid title. its 530am and I'm just waking up. sweet sounding car bro
Your 350tpi must not of been stock,mine was a 💩
What type of fuel do you put in? Just the normal 87 or 92
I normally do 93
How’d you make the t56 work with the 5.3?
Using a ls fbody t56 it bolts right up using ls FBody clutch and flywheel assembly. Since the 4.8-6.0 are all ls based engines it’s all pretty easily swapped around.
Does he ever make it out of 4th gear? This is a 6 speed correct?
Gleo Runyon 3rd yes the car has a 6 speed also. The posted speed limits In he areas driven are a max of 55 only in a couple of spots during this video. At the time the trans had a bent shift fork for 5/6 and 5th gear would not work. 6th would have lugged the car around below 60mph
How much was the total cost of this build cause I'm planning on swapping a 5.3 into a iroc z convertible
Kool Kid wanting to say I have around 3500-4K in it. My initial swap with a th350 in the car was around $2300
screaming86 is this around 300hp if so you think that’s plenty for a street car? And is it carbed or F.I?
What mods have you done to the engine?
Colton cam only
where did you mount the computer at
8:19 You look nervous...
WHAT SUSPENSION SETUP DO YOU GOT ON THAT THING??
MrOldcountry mostly stock. Eibach sportlines spohn lca in the rear founders Panhard bar relocation. Has Sfc built by me.
What exhaust do you have on this beast?
Has a single 4” out the back with a bullet muffler
how did you get your gauges working?
Pocket built harness. Everything is tied into the car like it came that way.
What steering wheel is that?
Stock wheel that came in the car
Can we get a 10 hour version of this?
David Racing just keep replaying it
David Racing just subbed. I’ll check out your videos 👌🏼
screaming86 thanks man! I appreciate that
What ECM do you used? Or from? Is it the factory one?
LevelUpLiving its a 411 pcm
@@screaming86 okay I'm getting the 5.3 from a 2001 Silverado. And getting the lt1 t56. Now are you using the stock 3rd gen clutch and pedals or 4th gens.
LevelUpLiving I am using 3rd gen pedals and a tick master cyl for a 4th gen. Need to modify the pin on the pedal for this. You will need a ls based t56 or be prepared to spend good money converting the lt1 style t56 to work. I’m using a centerforce DFX clutch for a ls car
not a fan of the exhaust note. i hate when it rattle at higher rpm. nice build! doing a LQ4/T56 in my 85 SC. also going to have Racing innovation long tube but hoping to do a dual 2.5 or single 3"
PO yeah this is racing innovation longtubes 3" y to a single 4" out the back with a dynomax bullet. I built he bigger exhaust to support forced induction setup later.
if youre still active on here i have some questions about this swap, im doing something similar to my dakota. thanks
Joe M no problem what’s up
@@screaming86 im looking at an iron block 5.3 probably out of a silverado, ive read some pre historic forums that say any f body t56 will bolt right up, is that what you found in your case? also what clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel did you use? for that ive found most people just buy an ls1 clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel.
Joe M yes this is a 01 LM7 5.3 with a 2000 fbody t56. Using a Jegs Ls1 flywheel and a centerforce DFX clutch. You could use the fbody flywheel and clutch kit though.
screaming86 good deal, i really appreciate the help. I’m sure I’ll have more questions down the road. I’m deployed right now so I have a few months before I start working on it. The 5.3 is gonna get a TSP cam and ported heads
Joe M awesome. The ls7 clutch is a very good inexpensive clutch to run also.
sounds great, what exhaust u running
Racing Innovations 1 3/4 stainless longtubes custom 3" mandrel bent y pipe to a single 4" exhaust with a dynomax bullet in the stock location that I built.
+screaming86 best I've heard nice job man
Man that exhaust is raspy
My favorite parts at 6:15 7:16 7:40 8:23
I have a bunch of gopro footage I took last fall from a cruise with some other f body’s I’ll try to get them up.

That rides pretty hard do you have all solid mounts
ThefatItalian66 X i do not
screaming86 rides horrible what’s wrong with it and the exhaust sounds like crap
Lowering springs
Is that an as aftermarket steering wheel?
Roger Ramsey no it is the OG steering wheel that came with the car.
Where's the mullet lol...thing sounds amazing...
what intake manifold are you running to fit that engine under the stock hood?
It has an ls1 fbody intake manifold. Most stock intake will fit. Even the truck intakes with a little bit of trimming.
anybody know if the gen 3 t56 be used ???
Carolina Hustle what do you mean? This one is from a 01ish z28
Did you have to do emmisions for this?
No I do not
+screaming86 okay thanks
+Knivesandstuff4 cool car by the way awesome exhasut
what exhaust? sounds nice i wanna do the same swap on a 91 lincoln mark 7 lol
Single 4” with dynomax race bullet. Racing innovation longtube headers
6 speed manual
Do you have working gauges?
Chris P yes I do
How did you get the Speedo to wirk?
Chris P the factory buffer box is bypassed and there is a pin from the ls pcm that wires straight to the factory speedo.
Yea you do .. Do you have a seat belt?
Yes
+screaming86 OK
