I am the guy that bought the truck, just happened to stumble across this video. I drive it almost daily and it has been very reliable. The only thing I had to do was replace the fuel pump a few weeks ago, it happens. Its been super fun.

Man your videos helped me out a lot during my swap! Thank you. 👍👍

Your swap came out super nice! I’ve been working on swapping my ‘86 with a 5.3. Your videos have been such a good resource! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my swap as clean as yours

Its funny, the diy everything. I was just thinking that to myself on my c10 ls swap I just finished. The only help I got was with my son getting the donor motor and trans out, and my daughter helping my put the hood back on. Though, I didn't paint or do rear end work. Like you I kept the same drive shaft even though the 5.3 and 4l60e were added, it just worked since I made sure my motor mounts didn't move anything. I did dbw for the same reasons as you. Great videos and info you provide for sure!

Great information man,thanks for sharing your knowledge..

Enjoyed it! Keep the content coming!

looks great !!! super clean

Awesome build and can't beat the total cost, looks like it was installed from the factory!👍👍

Great job very nice!

Junkyard costs here in middle TN are much higher. Love the slides bro, that's hilarious!

I love how he kinda laughs under his breath when he says “if your willing to try go get some tools and give it a shot” lmaooo he knows if they gota go buy tools they probably have no business doing a engine conversion 😂😂😂

So did you utilize the stock 5.3 ac compressor and what did you use for exhaust? Stock 5.3 manifolds? Because I thought the steering shaft driver side manifold wouldn't work together.

So I know you said stock harness but would you mind explaining a bit? Like did you use the stock ecu or did you use the 5.3 ecu and either or harness, thanks

What computer did you use? Oem Tahoe ? And will it work with a manual trans?

Thank you for such an informative video. A want to do a blazer build but couldnt get a real estimate on actual swap price. Was the engine fitting difficult?

Oh i cant wait… the s10 i just bought is real nice only 147k and runs amazing first truck so once this motor goes hello 5.3 and 4l80

What year motor is this And the harness was it the s10 or Tahoe?

What you use for the driveshaft

Damn, ive got a 99 4-banger and I think the headgasket is slowly on her way out at 169k. Recent oil change revealed that the coolant hasnt completely made its way past the seal because it didnt look like a starbucks mocha frappuccino, but there is some very slight white-ish smoke coming from the exhaust and the CEL is on. I let my buddy borrow my obd scanner so I need to get that back to read the codes but no overheating yet thankfully. Definitely going to need to get one of those combustion leak testers asap to verify but at 169k im almost certain the HG is about done for, especially since the s10s are almost notorious for HG failure and even though ive never had to replace a HG I heard they were very easy on the 4 bangers. Not sure if i want to go with a swap since id be almost halfway there when I go to take the head off to replace all the gaskets.

What the name of those type of motor mount

I was just wondering did you have to get adaptor plates for your stock 4l60 to fit onto the motor like the 4l60e that normally bolts on

I am looking to do this, anyone have a link to a website for a LS and whatever else I need? How much would a shop charge to put it in?

Radiator and fans?

I'm thinking of buying a 03 s10 already converted to v8 with a 04 Tahoe 5.3 engine 6 speed manual non posi for 14,000. Is it cheaper to buy a 03 s10 for around 7k and swap for a ls7? And do you think a ls7 would fit. My thing is if I'm going to swap I'm gonna put the best motor in it.

So I know this is a crazy question but what kind of fuel mileage do you get with this build I want something with decent power for my s10 but it’s going to be my daily and want it to be efficient

Are you in ga?

Also why the Explorer rear axle

I buy a wrecked truck for $200, pull what I need then sell the rest of the part's for $700

I'd kill to have a friend that could do the swap for me 😢

Awesome build but for the love of god the 5.3 is not an LS. Almost nobody calls them by their proper name.

Bro can I just drop my truck off pay you to put ls in my s10 lol

Where did you get the mounts from and transmission cross member

Can I use my 1994 s10 ss 4l60e for the 5.3 swap
