The ultimate Ls swap guide. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bKiSdbl9rbO2g3U.html

4 min into the video, I like the way you take your time to explain ---- I do the same when talking to customers about their repair nice job man

Thanks for the information man. That's the most valuable thing around

If you use a griffon radiator, you don’t need to cut the core support. It fits perfect in the opening with 1/4” truck cap mounting foam. GRI-1-25271-X Nice build 👍

I love the header recommendation. I've never seen that before, except with Jeep 4.0 manifolds. Jeep does it to keep the manifold, which is really a header, from cracking due to thermal expansion. I also laughed when the trucker flipped you off right as you were filming him.

Lovin my 2003 S10 with A 4.3L V6 With Cold Air Intake & 1” Raised Intake & A Positive Rear End, Its Got Some Jump Power To Take on A Toyota Tundra off the Line thru the 1/4 Mile Say Hello Tundra to you Maker Your Just too Heavy To Jump the Gun, Your Big I’m a Baby But Gone Byby💪🏾

Thank very much I have all those issues now i know what I need to do thanks man u just made my day god bless u Keep it up theres more people that have the same issues but thanks for sharing your knowledge

I’m going to be starting a l33 swap…. So I’m subscribed!

Use a Corvette front runner setup on the front of the motor makes life way easier and you can keep the radiator in the stock location.

That is funny, I just read your hat in this vid. Springfield, KY I came from Springfield, MA

Your truck is awesome I'm bout to start a lsx swap on a 91 4x4 s10 any tips and advise are greatly appreciated

I would like to do that swap in a Blazer and keep the 4X4 drive and suspension for street rod not drags. Pretty darn nice truck there. Great Tips, Dennis in Virginia

If you do the motor and transmission together jack the rear of the vehicle up a couple feet then you don’t have to mess with cab mounts it will go right in

Appreciate you doing this for us, quite a few good time saving tips!

i used my truck oil pan,notched the belly,works fine does stick down a lil farther,and i used the flowtech long tubes 1 7/8 went on pretty easy but they do wrap around the frame,but 450.00 vs 8,9,or 1200.00 lol works for me

Thank you buddy my trucks coming along pretty good right now im working on it as I type this out lol. Pulling the drive shaft then soon the motor

Middle finger was my favorite part lol

Bet it’s loads of fun can’t wait til I do it to mine

Fti. converters and TRANSMISSION s deland Florida..the best people and equipment for you ever!!

Just bought 1994 s10 with v6 vortec.saving for 540 hp ls gonna take me around a year to complete the build but can't wait for finished produck

Do you know you can put a pry bar in that water pump neck and turn it. It's just a steel pipe that's Pressed in and with enough force you can clock it any direction you want without cutting it

Awesome info, thanks! I’m having issues clearing the firewall I’ll probably have to prop up the cab some like you said, thanks again!

Thanks for sharing the info! ✌

Gen IV truck water pumps are already a virtual spout so you don't have to cut it, just fyi.

Awesome info

Great tips Bro!

Thanks for your knowledge 👍

THANKS BIG GUY!

6.0 cam swap: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6x6iad_ypPSkWg.html

Thanks man

I think that you accidentally inverted the header part number Headman shows that header as 45906. Killer video by the way

I love this truck and I'm planning on a s10 project street/strip. I haven't decided if I want to do an old sbc or a ls swap. I'm not sure if you did a video on what it costs roughly for a ls swap + parts that would be awesome if you could or would. I fully understand if you don't want to put all your info out there or mods. But I'm just looking for a rough guess. I found a nice chassis with no engine or trans so less work for me.

I got a 2000 s10. Woth a 2.2. Everybody smokes me but. Im gonna do an 4.8 swap on it. But i was woundering did you use the same 4.6 computer or did you buy the plug and play wireing oh and the motor mounts ??? Plz let me knw so i can prepare

Good information.

Nice tips

Great video. Thanks

Great information project 94 SS 6.0 is about to get underway this weekend I only need to find a 3k stall converter yet

#LS=LOVESPEED

I have a red s10 with the same wheels still a 4.3 I haven't had it that long I'm just driving it and fixing small issues

Good tips all….

Great video and info... Question for ya what motor mounts and trans cross member you using?

What yall think a late 90's model s10 with a clean 5.3 swap is worth? Everything works

I have a 1996 short bed stock rear suspension minus the overload spring with soon to be caltracs…what size slick can I install on a 15x8 wheel with ? Backspacing factory wheel looks like 4.5” backspace and appears I could move it in more…brand of slick recommend also, for weekend track visits only …thinking Hoosier or MT maybe 28-9.5-15 ? Thanks

Just subbed 👍 do you ever plan on doing the terminator x in the truck?

what's the best headers for a 1st gen s-10

Thanks sir for sharing your aggravation

I have a 2002 S10 ZQ8 X-cab ready to do this swap... #1 Why did you go with a modified Ford 8.8 instead of using a 8.6 S10 ZQ8 rear? #2 Ive heard S10 Blazer gas tanks can be used behind the Diff w/ the Spare tire carrier removed...You know anything?? #3 Do you think there is enough room to retain the condenser in front of the radiator with the way you moved it forward? #4 Ive watched your vids several times each..and hang on every word..because ive been intersted for several years in doing this swap. But everyone seems to cut their frames and crush the firewall to stuff it in..Dont wanna tear up my Baby! #5 Congrats on making to the 10s..

Heat rises... you want the water going over not under your intake.....

My 1998 base model s10 came factory with the none ac heater box

Im getting ready to start a 02 xtreme blazer build, my boss has a bb settin the corner of the shop. Thinkin about maybe trying something with it and a glide to back it up. Any ideas on how it might fit

Do you do the 2.2 the same way as far as wiring as the 4.3 I got a 2.2 5 speed wanting to convert it to a 5.3 with a 350th trans with a 3000 stall easiest Way to wire it with out the transmission wires and will it work with out hooking them up to program the motor

I’m using the ctsv pan but complete crossmember is cut out and chromoly tube welded across, and I was wonder if you could shed some light on driver side fuse panel n stuff mines all there still n want it all gone what needs to be done any help would be appreciated but it’s a 2001 tho.

GREAT VIDEO MAN & I have a 93 s10 with a sbc thinking about going with this 5.3 ls I got how much think it will cost to cut my driveshaft

Im not a car guy but I really want to get in this, I have a stock 95 2.2L 5 speed if I were to put an LS motor in it would I need to upgrade the trans and rear differential?

Is the firewall openings the same between an AC truck and a non-AC truck? In other words, does the firewall have to be modified to install a non-AC heater box?

Where did you get your hood? I'm building a 2002 GMC Sonoma extended cab flare side any info would be appreciated thank you for your time.

According to your hat you're in Springfield KY? I'm in Springfield TN. Do you have a shop that does swaps? I'm currently shopping around for someone to do my swap. I've got an 89 S10 with a 350 TBI currently and want to LS swap. A car accident has taken my ability to do a lot of labor intensive work on my own... I already have the budget, just need a shop that knows what they're doing and would like the job.

I am really considering building an s10 but as a student in school I would daily drive this, would this setup last a decent amount of time or should I just wait and settle for a boring reliable car/truck.

Good job bro on the video did you still have to cut the cross member using the muscle car oil pan

More ls swap s10 builds

I have a 98 Sonoma ls swapped. I’m looking for a wider set of wheels and tires for the rear. What size wheels and tires are you running ?

I wish I could find those headers I’m in the middle of the same swap and I’m debating on headman 45900 or flowtech has some long tubes out too.

I have a 2002 s10 2200 engine can i use the wiring harness from a 2007 chevy 5.3 van

Mines next

Currently building a L33 5.3 out of a 2007 Buick Rainier and using a Hanburger's oil pan. The factory dipstick goes into the oil pan, the new pan doesn't allow this and I'll have to use the hole in the block. Do you think the stock dip stick will work and give me the correct oil level? Or is there a better aftermarket dipstick?

Are you going to the no prep race next saturday?

So does the stock transmission in these bolt right up to the 5.3/6.0?? I’ve got a 2.2L 5 speed manual 98. Very curious about it cuz I can get an LM7 or and old 6.0 for pretty damn cheap. I know the 2.2L’s are pretty much just an LS cut in half so very curious on the bell housing/clutch situation! Maybe I’ll do this swap over the winter if the 5 speed will bolt up

Coil springs I got a 97 4banger, do i need v6 spring?

Hey when you installed your nitrous did you tee into your primary fuel line or did you run a dedicated fuel supply

I have a 02 LS 6.0 going in to an 89 s10 chassis. The problem I’m running into is that the power steering pulley is hitting the gear box. Any recommendations?

GM muscle car pan = Hummer H3 pan.

Good 👍job

Did just the opposite on mine I put the stock 4 cyl. Out of the s10 into my 2005 4wd ext cab long bed silverado dually with a work box and welder rig on the back, i get away with this using a 2 speed power glide . I'm running 25s in the quarter mile and get nearly 22 mpg, well worth the power loss.

Once you drill and tap the waterpump for coolant line, where do you run it if I don't run a heater core in my S10?

Which engine mount setup did you use to fit the muscle car pan without a frame notch?

Would this all work for a 92 s10 blazer?

When using the muscle car pan do you still have to cut the main cross member under the oil pan

Did you have to do anything to the transmission tunnel when you put it in?

How do you get the tbss intake to fit in there? I have one but it doesn’t clear the heater core lines

How did you wire the fuel pump

There's stainless s10 ls swap headers on eBay for $99 and they are awesome i run then I'll NEVER pay $600 for headers

Which motor mounts re you using?

Did you still have two Notch crossmember for oil pan?

What front coil springs did you use or can you use stock

Did you notch your frame to fit the oil pan?

Will 5.3 bolt to my stock blazer tranny?? 5.3 is 2001 and blazer is 2002

Does this apply for 1987 short bed single cab s10?

Soo i can't have a/c if I ls swap my blazer

Anyone find that oil pan?? I didn't see it on the jege website

What's the manufacturer of that hood? I want one...

What long tube headers are you using

96 s10 4x4 what would it cost to swap?

😂😂😂

What are you using for tuning?

If you don't want to get your hands dirty. I would say it's super expensive for the average guy. Separates the men from the boys

are you the owner of the xanax s10?

Got a Instagram?

Yea you had a hot air intake in that picture. A lot of people make that mistake and think it looks cool. Take out a perfectly working factory cold air intake and put those gay conical filters right in the heat
