LS Engine Swap On A Budget - Engine Mount DIY
No one said a Mercedes LS engine swap would be easy! I start the fitment process, test out the factory GTO engine mounts and see how much fabrication work I need to do to get this all to work together.
Huge shout out to Initial DIY Mods for the help and advice on this car. Check out his channel

I am swapping a Chevy LS2 into my Mercedes SLK. I've got all the steps and am detailing how much I'm spending and how I'm doing it. I'm building the world's first LS swapped Mercedes SLK, and I'm doing it as cheaply as possible.

What are you doing to ensure that it won’t be in the way of the headers, or the steering shaft?

Are you going to upload anymore videos on this or is this project finished before it even got started I’m extremely interested in this series I have a slk230 in my driveway with a blown engine an would love to do this but it would be even better if I saw someone else do it first lol

Great video buddy. Looking forward to see part 2. Im totally going to use a reciprocating saw now. What metal cutting blade were you using? 🍁👊

@revmatchtv 5 жыл бұрын

I don't remember the saw blade. It took me about 2 hours to cut through 1/4" metal. It was not quick. A plasma cutter would have been 20 minutes, but a lot more coin.

It cut through 1/4" at about 1mm per second. It was a cheap solution.

@revmatchtv Жыл бұрын

I stopped the project after I made the lower engine mount. Turns out the engine was not going to fit because the steering linkage would be where the headers would go.
