We walk you through the 5.3 LS install into Travis' '99 Tahoe. This video will explain what parts we used (LIST BELOW), the main steps we took and the outcome. It is almost like these trucks were made specifically to LS swap as it is fairly easy to do and fit well.

That is a beautiful engine bay and the whole looks as if (the LS) factory made for the OBS trucks. Surprisingly still lots of room around the engine in the bay; but too bad there was no room for the AC compressor. Have you since decided how you will re-install the AC compressor or have you made a video on that install? Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

@AZProPerformance 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! We ended up using the Dirty Dingo high mount and worked out great! The low ones dont work, as the frame doesn't;t allow it, unless you notch and box it in A LOT. For us, we just didn't;t see it worth all the work and thought the high mount still looked good and did the job well for this build.

If your doner has anywhere near 100k+ I'd go ahead and do rear main as well while it's out. Timing cover seal and etc usually don't go bad as soon but they're easier to change in the vehicle than the rear main obviously.
