- We drove this thing in our shop with a wheezy 170HP 318 and a 4 speed manual and its going back home to the customer with a 6.0 LS backed by a 4L80E controlled by a P01 PCM on flex fuel! We turned this truck around from a bone stock Dodge D150 to a slammed truck with a nice rowdy powerplant. I have had my hand in a lot of different builds over the years and this one has been on of my favorites!

Alright that’s it. Your video was by far the best to watch and motivate me to LS swap my 86 w250! They look so good in that engine bay.
Thanks dude! This LS swap brought that D150’to the next level. It’s an absolute blast to rip around in!
That was an awesome job dude
My wife's grandfather gave me his truck. Definitely thinking about this swap.
NIIICE!!! I've started a ls swap on a 90 dodge d150 yesterday, and it's my first ls swap. This video was some added motivation to not get discouraged. Awesome job man it looks great!!
Thanks dude!! Definitely don’t get discouraged, just get chipping away at it and before you know it you’ll be doing Smokey LS powered burnouts!
Awesome job.
were u got the motor mounts
Really enjoyed watching this video brother, definitely want to swap my 86 ram charger. I have to ask what motor mounts did you go with?
Great job! I’m currently doing something similar. Which digital dash did you use?
Did you have to get different motor mounts
I have a 1989 dodge truck with a v6 and I want to do a ls swap could you let me know what I have to do with the electrical side of things to get it to work
How did you do the fuel system? Like as far as the pump? Did you use stock fuel tank?
What motor mounts did you use
What headers did you use?
WE LOVE THIS PROJECT WHERE WE CAN BUY THE ENGINE MOUNTS
Thanks for the kind words!! I started with LS swap mounts for the engine side for an S10 and made my own plates for the truck frame side out of plate.
Hey man I have a 90 d150 with the 3.9l auto. Looking to do this same thing. Was wondering about the price on this swap
What motor mounts?
Y my transmission won't shift did the same swap can't go ova 40mph😢😢
Do you guys make and sell those motor mounts and transmission mounts? I have a 82 d150 w slant six a looking to add a 5.3 to it with a 4l60 but not good at fabricating.
Motors mounts is something I made out of plate and an S10 LS swap kit. Transmission crossmember was a little more involved but nothing too crazy at all.
Hey I got a 89 d150 with 318 that I'm gunna lq4 swap, what suggestions do you have to help me out? What trans did you use cuz I see you kept d150 steering column and stuff
The truck was originally a 5 speed manual. I blocked off the shifter hole in the floor and mounted a floor mounted shifter for the 4L80E auto.
I have a 85 dodge ls that I built if you don't mind me asking what kind of dash is that and where do I find it
Those are Autometer Invision gauges. I modified the stock gauge bezel and made a couple of close out panels from an old blow molded case to make it fit and look nice. Pretty nice setup!
Wanna sale me a set of them motor mounts 😂
What wheels are on there? And how did you fit the hub on the front?
I think those are 2020 stock Ram wheels with a 1 inch spacer. Same 5x5 bolt pattern they’ve always used!
You lost me when you got rid of the man pedal
What throttle ceble and braket did you use also what shifter
If I remember right it was a throttle cable from a 99-02 Silverado with a NNBS intake throttle cable bracket and the shift is a B&M floor shifter
I like your video
We're you located?
What headers did you use
I’m not 100% on that as they were used, but they looked awful similar to Silverado headers.
That is bad a$$ I got a 1983 d150 and would love to do that to my truck.
What's the cost ?
Thanks bud! Its one of the funnest trucks I’ve driven!!
LS swapping a dodge is as ridiculous as it gets. I’ve done several LS into old C10s and other GM. I’ve done the Hemi swap in several Mopars. 5 yrs ago it was a pain. Now it’s just as easy and costs the same. Unless it’s a LS3 or better the Hemi starts out with 40-75 more hp. And it bolts up to your existing transmission unless you start with a slant six.
Shoot I’m on the hunt for another D150 to LS swap. Sure, the hemi makes decent power but they still aren’t quite as efficient as the LS, IMO. I’ve never seen a ready to drop in $500 hemi. Hemi camshafts tend to run more than $300. Why would I want to buy 16 spark plugs? I’d also be a little leery putting any kind of boost to a SBE hemi. Semi valid point on the transmission, but I’m willing the bet the 4L80E behind that LS is going to shift WAY faster and hold up a lot longer than the 4 speed that was originally in this pickup. Sorry bud, GM just does it better.
A very poor video on a very great subject. Hopefully,someone better qualified will cover this subject with a LOT more planning and the ability to speak in complete sentences.
Maybe you should do it!
You should put the 318 in a Camaro
🤷🏼♂️couldn’t be much worse than the 305s they came with 😂
