​@krustyclassicsgarage what's the length and guage of that starter wire on the car

I have a 82 el camino and im looking for an engine to get this resto going, lots of great advice, Thanks! Shout out from Fort Worth!

Super good work and informational. Shows its a way to build a budget ls and get reliability plus gas milage

Straight forward, simple and informative channel. No fake drama, dog tricks, politics, life stories, long intros and unnecessary editing. Right to the point. The only thing I disagree with Krusty is the choice of DBC over DBW. I think DBW is simpler, more flexible and is free. The DBW parts come with your junkyard pull-out. Nothing to buy or convert. Lastly, if you do a swap, ditch the Turbo 350. The 4L60E's OD and lock-up converter will give you a huge gain in MPG. Let the PCM do the shifting.

Customer already swapped this car before he brought it to me. I prefer dbc. Less hassle with no starts, don't have to have another computer in the engine bay, don't have to change the gas pedal, and GM's DBW throttle bodies arent the best but, I appreciate you watching.

Been toying with swapping a couple of my cars. This just made me want to pull the trigger. Didn’t think the wiring would be that easy!

Nice build! 😮 glad I don’t have overheating issues in my sbc 350. 🥲 LS swaps are nice! 🫡

Super sweet car always loved those cars looks good w the corvette rally’s

Thank you again for doing this video. Do you ever put cam's in and have a recommendation on which one you like for daily driving.

No leaks solid car

I can't really find how the B bodies differ from the Seville K bodies of 76-79. They look similar enough, but that could be deceiving. I do know that K's are basically stretched X's. (Nova's), so it's probably doable. I remember there was an LS Seville swap thread a few years back, but I can't find it. Anyway, that's kind of my dream swap.

Love the vids man and have you every swapped a 3rd gen Camaro?

@krustyclassicsgarage

Not yet

Will it do a burnout?

If it had a 305 in it you're probably going to need to swap the rear end. That LS will make mincemeat out of the stock one. The 12 bolt they used in the wagons will bolt straight in.

Good stuff.

Good info

Thanks!

What wires from the original body harness do I need to pin to the relay box??

Nice.. what do you charge for a swap?

I got a 1979 Buick LeSabre curious on doing a LS swap Gen 3 How much was something like that cost???

Is that a line lock on the master cylinder

I was see if you can hgive me any pointers been going with finishing my ls1 5.7 swap for a long time . I have 77 caprice with ls1 5.7 stand alone harness

What wire that you need to make the coils work

It looks like it can be done in 1984 Buick regal 👍🏼 if you can put the links to every part in , I’ll be eternally grateful 👍🏼👍🏼😂

Cant say yes for sure. But if the stock engine mounts from the cadillac will bolt to the swap plates then im 99% sure the engine will bolt in. You'd just have to look at the transmission crossmember and see if the transmission mount from the LS transmission will bolt up.

Just to be sure, you're stating those are oem factory truck exhaust manifolds that came on the Vortec truck LS based engine (i.e. 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 or 6.2) (Tahoe engine)? I ask, b/c oem exhaust manifolds on mine doesn't hug the engine like it does in this vehicle.

He’s gotta hook up his vacuum modulator on his tranny so it’ll shift like normal with out manually shifting. I used the dirty dingo adjustable plates and factory frame mounts for my 79 caprice. I got the Ls motor and turbo350 mounted in factory location and used the original drive shaft didn’t have to drill new holes for the cross member and I used a 87 grand national fuel sending unit with a walbro 255 intank fuel pump in the factory tank.

When it comes to the neutral safety switch do you bypass it or use it. If you bypass it how would you go by doing it.
