    I just got a 66 camino back in April, i fucking love it, it needs some ascetic bits still the chrome around the windows (all of them😢) and the piece that goes right behind the front bumper and i might swap out the seats, for some reason the guy i bought it from put caddy seats and steering system, btw what is the sound deadening stuff like i got the concept but what material so i can add that

    This swap took maybe 4 weeks. 3 weeks of that was waiting for parts to come in + the driveshaft being built. This was my 2nd LS swap so i was able to at least get a good parts list together before starting it. But still had to wait on a few things

    @@kasotty Glad this video is some use to you! And yeah all these guys spending 10k + calling their swaps budget builds 🤣. On the forums people will say its inpossible to do a swap under 5k and have it be reliable. This is as reliable as the suburban that the engine came out of. Thanks for watching
