I found this to be one of the most helpful videos on LS swapping an OBS . No bs, straight to the point. Thank you for doing this!!!

You broke it down bro so I 50 year old non mechanic could decipher it. Thanks Keep the video coming

Definitely the best Ls swap video I've seen, no bs and to the point. Thanks for this!

Dam fam!! Expand my horizons!!! You answered a million question Marks I had in my head about ls swapping, thanks

Best clear LS swap video for sure. The most helpful video ever. Thanks

Great clean job on the swap! I just completed my 2nd swap as well on a 71 Chevelle (now in paint and body) as well. Since I’ve just been finishing small jobs on my first swap. Nice work! I subscribed and tuned in.🤙🏾

Ive watched a hundred of these swap info vids. You sir are built for this. Im only half way through and cant get over how good its shot and how straight to the point you are. Appreciate you.

Out of all the vids yours has been the most strait forward cant wait to ls3 swap my obs

Out of the swap stuff I’ve seen for these era trucks this was definitely the most informative. Plus including all the part numbers and other miscellaneous parts needed.

Nice work! You came up with some clean innovative solutions.

The attention to detail! Nice clean install!!! About to start my 93 and didnt even think about some stuff u pointed out. Thanks!

The radiator is from a obs C3500 heavy duty pickup truck easily found at an U pull it junkyard. Even if you don’t want a used radiator you can at least get the stock radiator mount brackets from the junkyard. But I’d just look for a 1995 Chevy C3500 radiator to buy a new one.

Appreciate you bro! I like the content and attitude and very informative. Planning on swapping a 4.3 NBS Silverado to a 6.0. I know it’s a different body styles but concept and parts needed are the same!

Awesome video. I just bought a ‘98 with a 4.3, so that’s nice to know about the motor mounts. Also, I love your whole radiator solution. Factory parts FTW!

This is badass! looks awesome and keep up the good work

I'm getting closer to doing this swap and I gotta say thanks so much for breaking this down your swap looks good thanks man

Dude. You are a life saver. What a bang up job on the swap!

Thanks for sharing your build. It looks and sounds very good. Did you use the same transmission from the 4.3? Any modifications needed to mate the transmission to the LS? Since you made this video about a year ago, can you give us an update on how the vehicle is doing and whether you use it as a daily driver? And since the build, is there anything you would change if you were to do it all over again. Great work! Thanks again.

Great summary and nice truck. Well done!

Hahaha I built a cammed 357 vortec 8mos ago with manual transmission and just bought a 6.0 yesterday. Gonna swap her out in spring. Cost less than 3k to build a 400hp engine but if you ask me I'd say go the ls route.unless you doing a blower or turbo charging it or have a drive by cable go carburetor. It'll save you some headache and possibly some $$.
