In this video I install my new replacement LT4 crate engine and I go over what it costs to do an LT4 swap.

I feel your pain and I feel your joy. I did a similar project on a semi-mental 68 c10 short box that I have had for 45 years. I didn’t save my receipts because I wanted to say I honestly didn’t know what it cost. However I think if I could turn back time I would have just bought a new Porsche and saved the rest of the money. However now that it is done grandkids have used it for weddings etc so I’m fine. You did a great job. Glad to follow along. Btw I used a 376/525 with LS9 cam and American Transmission T56 and 3:76 TrueTrack

Thanks and that sounds like a nice C10! I agree looking back if I knew it would cost this much I probably would have just bought a corvette or something. But like you mentioned now that it’s done me and my family can enjoy it so I don’t feel as bad.

Thanks for the breakdown. I had about 50k saved up to do the LT4/10L90E swap for my 70 C10, so I'm pretty sure I'm good. I already got the motor/tranny, ecm, tcm, wiring harness, fuse box, air intake. It came with several upgrades too. 103mm throttle body, griptech 2.3 pulley and a few others. I still need the pwm module, fuel pump, intercooler, etc. I got a package deal on the engine, tranny, ecm, Tcm, wiring harness, and drive accessories minus power steering pump. It has 32k miles but I got a killer deal on the whole package

Wow brother That is great!!!!!. Man after your last video I felt like vomiting. Man I was sick for you. I'm working on 6.0L LY6 swapping my 03' Crown Vic Police Interceptor 6.0L iron block with square port L92 style heads is whT a LY6 is. N/A is fine for now. Once I get the swap done and everything is how I want it then I will go down to my GM dealership and order a new LY6 crate engine. It's rated at 450 horse but will do alot better with a bigger cam. They put the LS6 cam in it so it will be improved. I'll have the dealer do the cam so I can keep the warranty. Great job on the install. It looks factory. It should have looked that good from the factory but they pump them out the door lol. Thanx for the update brother.

I was thinking about it, that 29 grand connect and cruise , mentions the extra parts, not the price, and then you have to install it , back to the drawing board for me, HAA HA , maybe the LSX B-15 with a whipple 3.0 , maybe be an easier package, however it will never be a LT4 , really nice job!!

@lt4camino
@lt4camino Жыл бұрын
That is correct. I had originally planned on using the GM LT4 engine controller kit but I payed for one and it was on back order for over 3 months... I got tired of waiting and found out about Speartech and I went with them instead. Dakota digital is definitely the way to go for gauges.

18x8 (235/40r18) on the front wheels, 20x9.5 (275/35r20) for the back wheels. It’s a fairly tight fit in the rear between the tires and frame rails but no rubbing. The front tires slightly rub on my QA1 sway bar at full steering lock but other than that no issues.
