My new favorite channel. You have so much knowledge

Nicely done 👍👍👍 yes the 1 ton trucks had hydro boost but they are very sought after by the Cummins swap guys ( ask me how I know ... because I build one lol ). Good video keep it up 👍👍👍

I love watching your LS swaps. I bought a 1980 K-30 5.7/Th400 Custom Deluxe dually ex- fire/rescue truck a few weeks ago. 35,000 original miles, a farmer friend has owned it for about 10 years and has put the majority of the miles on it using it around the farm. They had a issue with it last spring , thought it had jumped time and decided to sell it. I’ve investigated it and found it has dropped the #6 exhaust valve. Not sure what else is broken. You have inspired me to do a 6.0 LS swap on it. I’m going to start collecting parts. Thanks for your informative videos and keep them coming

Thanks for watching, good luck with your project, it sounds really cool!

Just saw your channel on my feed. I just brought home an 86 4 door dually. Had it for 2 years and finally home. Thinking of ls swap so I can have some fuel mileage

Bro you have an amazing channel, if you put out more content your Chanel would take off. I watch KZread everyday and this is one of the best channels I have found for cool car stuff.

Glad to see you back making videos! I just finished my first one and it came out great! I did it a lot like your how to do a ls swap in a weekend video but I did add in the 4l60e trans as well. You were the best source of confidence for me to do my swap! Sure it took two months lol, not 2 days but wow what a difference it is having the ls over my 350. This thing rips now lol and its bone stock. Thanks for the videos, they really help!

What ls did you do and how much did you roughly spend

@@justinpearson2768 I took the motor and trans from an 02 Silverado. So its a lm7 but everyone refers to it as an ls. I went to the junkyard and the guy had the 02 truck as his yard truck. So I knew it was a good runner. He let me take the whole thing home and take anything I wanted off it for my build. 700 bucks is what I paid him total. I did the swap to an '85 chevy truck (c10) Other costs was the new gas tank and braided steel gas lines with AN fittings and fuel pump. Add in cheap motor mounts and a cheap trans mount as well. The 5.3/4l60e ends up being the same length overall as my 350/350 so I was able to use my original driveshaft and even the shifter linkage lined up so nothing needed there. I installed shorty headers too with new pipes and mufflers too. I used the 02 stock engine side fusebox and air cleaner and more. This was a drive by wire setup so I used a modified gas pedal and the tac box for that. Pedal was free, I modified the one from the 02 truck to work in mine. So, overall, not a ton of money like some folks on these swaps. Oh, I learned a few programs like pcmhammer and tunerpro and took vats off the pcm, and made other mods to the computer to suit my needs. Stuff like shift points and more, all free. So to answer your question, I'd guess 2k all in for the swap. I still have the truck now and it runs amazing.

Love it, exactly what I wanna build for a hauler. Maybe do a small turbo kit just to bump the power up a bit.

What did you do for driveshaft?

What the part number on them motor mount i have the same truck !

Great video

I miss my 4 door 87 chevy pickup 3x3. I regret selling it because the head blew. I woulda put a 454 in it instead of the 350. It has a granny trans in it too.😢

Did you have to make and changes to the transmission cross member?

I was wondering about that booster... should have had hydra boost

If you had dual tanks how would you make it work in a ls swap?

You do a pretty good job on LS swaps 👍, do you do LS swaps for customers or only on your own vehicles? How can I get in contact with you?

I've recently acquired an f350 in need of an engine. Similar setup, 4 door and dually. How was this as far as power? I just don't want an underpowered truck. Did the weight of the truck hurt it much?

how is the mileage now compared to the old big block (I guess it had a BBC in it, right?)

Seen many Ls engines survive abuse to well over 250k-300k miles untouched internals.

When are you guys coming back???

Where did you purchase the tall motor mount adapters?

@@piratejetgarageso I am thinking about doing an ls swap on my 77 bonanza and seeing as you’ve done quite a few of these, are there any problems you’ve had with swaps later on down the road? My main reason for doing an LS Is reliability. Planning on daily driving my truck when It’s done

Hey next time take the radiator out first, it’s just easier that way

Offer not information on the swap ... pictures of motor and car .....

just another ls swap, nothing to see here

Youre devaluating that truck buy putting an overated LS small block throw away motor ypu have an ENGINE the big block that came with that truck BIG BLOCKS ARE SUPPERIOR TO A LITTLE MOTOR .

Not necessarily, 6.0 just as much torque and power than stock big blocks with benefit of increased mpg and efficiency, a lot of people will see more value there but to each their own, just enjoy these vehicles while we have them and do what you have to to do so

I own a big block they're no compassion to a 6.0 ls and I've seen plenty with over 250k miles on them so you don't know what your talking about.
