    "You can do the whole swap from the junkyard for less than $1000 but not if you're going to be a wiener about using parts from the junkyard." I love this sentiment. Thanks JR for the laugh and info as always.

    Very impressive, as always… Every setback I have had on my LS project has been because I did something that you cautioned against lol.. But the end result will still be an inexpensive truck because of you and your advice. Thanks for all the great content!

    Can we get a T-shirt with “if it spins it wins” and “go do burnouts” on it? You’ve pretty much convinced me to drop one of these engines in my 68 Mustang. Would fit better than anything Ford has out there.

    I can understand that the LS content is getting tiresome for you, on the same hand, that's what brought me here. I enjoy all your content. Especially now your diesel content. I really love your low buck approach

    Agree completely. Just finished a '88 S10 with a '04 LM7 and a Turbo 700r4. Got just the long block for a "C" note, a rough Edelbrock carb manifold off Ebay for $200, mounted a rebuilt Holley 650 TA I had, and a MSD 6LS box. One of the few new pieces I bought. Installed a pressure regulator with return to the stock lines and cut off the factory exhaust manifold outlets, tucked, reclocked and welded them back in place. Fabbed up a 2.25" into 3" wye pipe with a single welded Summit 3" muffler ($40). F Body fan and radiator from the yard and was rolling for just over $1200. The stock rear is holding up just fine with a Yukon cover and the fun factor is off the scale. Marketplace is great for wheels and tires cheap and I sold the complete V6 engine and trans for $500. I know I had more fun doing that then my LS1 swapped and chopped '68 C10 with long tubes, cam and a complete Fitech Ultimate LS kit on it. I did the whole S10 for much less than the price of the Fitech kit alone.
