God memories

motorweek and Johnathon davis are underrated legends

I miss doing that with my dad when I was a kid.

L35 Engine, fyi drive trains/accessories are parasitic power loss.

True. Just having a modern ecu would change the final number significantly.

@@gregbrightwell662 There is another episode where they swap an LT1 into an S10, they are excited about 330hp lol.

@@carguy3028 lol! I build clutches for a living, if a v8 isn't hitting 500hp, its stock!

@@carguy3028 the truck is light, 330 is plenty. Most cant handle 180 as is.

they hid the metal shavings in the oil pan too

This episode is very old.

Yeah... they also did the whole install 9 minutes....They have 21 minutes of footage in a 30 minute episode, of course they cleared the shavings out of the pan.

Looks like DOS, not Win3.1 or it could be DOS app running on 3.1

Man your not lying today was a year since my oldman passed and moved up to bossing around the man upstairs and turning those poor angels in to tool and parts runners man im sure jealous and would love to be yelled at just one more time for getting the wrong tool that he specifically asked for but I wasn't listing. Lol sorry for rambling but your comment reminded me how me and my old man did exactly what you and yours did thanks for great reminder. RIP OLDMAN I MISS YOU SO MUCH

Lost my dad 3 weeks ago. I got his truck now, looking at videos about the 4.3 vortec when i saw these comments, breaks me down. I wish u guys the best, anyone else seeing this, tell your dad u love him, dont matter if uve never told him, do it, youll regret it when hes gone and u cant say it.

Better off with ls4

@@Southized people constantly say that. no one wants to cram an overly hyped engine into their truck. its funny because I fuel injected my SBC 350 with a harness from a junkyard and a little bit of tuning with some free software and I constantly see people on the forum that I got the tuning software from begging if someone can tune their supercharged ls3, Only one or 2 people reply. but when I ask if someone can help tun my 350 I get tons of people replying

@@lt.schlechtnacht9414 this comment was 2 years old, this guy is talking about putting a v8 into a chevy cobalt. It is much easier to take a ls4 front wheel drive v8 from a impala ss and put it a cobalt than do a whole new rwd frame for a 350 small block cobalt.

@@Southized ohh yeah jut ls sawp it at this point i thought you where going to other route "just ls sawp it bro"

Are you a gae guy? I mean a good guy? My bad

Ok so a SBC V6 isnt worth it? What about 500 HP from SuperChevy on the L35?

That was also the first pull, more timing can probably give it 100 or so

That Vortech supercharger kit can definitely put out more horsepower than 60 just needs to be tuned and adjusted

Funny thing is that truck is supposed to have 190hp stock 🤔

@@scootersonlyrepair6773 The engine was at 190 not at the tire.

@Jack Russelle Lewis the one that actually matters

Back when the show was interesting and the trucks they worked on looked better then what's made today imo.

I mean there is room there for alot more power with some cooling more boost and additional tuning. Also a 60 horse gain on this engine would be like a 40% gain that is pretty decent for a pushrod 90s v6.

this might be one of the dumbest comments on youtube

When small trucks were affordable. Nowadays if you add a few options you can pretty much buy a half ton.

@@bmstylee yes sir very true

1st gens were cool, the 2nd gens were trash

@@LetsGoBrandon-FJB I’ve had a few s10s

@@bmstylee Yeah but then you lose that's small truck coolness. Granted nothing comes with that small truck coolness anymore anyway

I had a 1999 model 4.3 w/5spd like that one. I never put it on the track. My brother had a '99 chev 1500, two wheel drive, regular cab, automatic, 4.8. The s10 would pull him about 1/2 a truck length in 2nd and 3rd gear and stay there til they topped out.

Remote mount

You gonna be running 20 lbs. Of boost and 30 degrees of timing?????

I do computer sims on the engine platform and with a 2 or 3 inch diameter turbo fan set you can generate well over 100hp as long as the exhaust is changed with a 3 or 4 inch pipe set and you gotta cut the catalytic converter for airflow. It can be done but it isn't easy

Broken record.

I helped my friend build a v8 s10 n it's not as cheap as you'd think. Little things add up quickly lol

@@sicsam1 if you start with a V6 and choose a small block over an LS, all you need is the computer with a couple extra wires, headers, oil pan, and mounts because the 4.3 is a 350 that's missing 2 cylinders. Sure you can make it nice and it adds up but that supercharger kit is around 5 grand. That's more than the last two cars I bought combined. Besides, 5 grand on a V8 is way better spent than 5 grand on a V6. My .02

@@marcus3128 you don't say... you either need a tbi or vortec 4.3. Just depends on the year, Done that too but we did it with 89 4 cyl truck as a base.

@@marcus3128 that’s a ridiculous price for that supercharger kit can get a small block 350 ready to be dropped in four no more than four grand I am getting ready to do that to my S 10 not the supercharger kit neither putting the 350 in and with the extra thousand I saved could possibly go out and get a supercharger for the 350

I bet a z28 driveline would have possibly costed more money at that time lt1 was still pretty new. The supercharger has alot more room for growth with cooling and more boost. It isn't locked at that number.

That was also before he laughed every other word, too.

NASCAR heads for a 4.3 Vortec? Where do I find them?

It couldn't have been much. Truck is obviously a 98 or newer and this episode aired January of 2000 so probably new or damn close to it

@@Matp345 I don't think they made the S-10 SS after 1998 as the Xtreme took it's spot.

The Vortech kit for the 4.3 was discontinued many years ago

There’s probably not many left up north, due to excessive rust. I own a 97 s10 4.3 which was is Michigan and Wisconsin for more than 5 years before making it back to Kentucky. I’m dealing with rust problems now, just trying to keep it running for a few more years. I definitely don’t even see as much of them as I did say 5 years ago.

Or what a 6 cylinder could be capable of today.

@@bmstylee Or what the K24 is capable of, I mean shit a drag racing snow mobile would go faster than this truck

@@williamsanders468 after rewatching 60 to the tires with no proper ecu tuning or exhaust upgrade isn't that bad.

@@bmstylee Yeah what’s bad is it’s supercharged with 200 horsepower

@@williamsanders468 what can be done now is amazing. My dad grew up in the hay day of the muscle car and they could never dreamed how easy it is to make power like modern cars can. I mean 800hp is almost boring after seeing the Hellcat or Gale Banks making almost 1100hp on Duramax.

How'd you get 300 without boost?

@@Diesel257 A little after a while getting my Safari the engine blew so I put in a new 4.3 but a newer 4.3 from power torque and that engine had 300hp, and I also rebuilt the transmission now that they were both already out

@@hectoraranda8097 was it an LV3 ecotec based on gen V architecture? They are rated at 285. Power Torque I assume your talking about remanufacters engines and outlets to places like orielly's etc. The early 4.3 from them would be a stock reman.

Agreed..even when the episode originally aired 21 years ago,a v8 swap would have still made more sense.all that work,all the money to almost hit 200hp lol..

@@CELTIC-PRIDE-1979 yea a sbc from any junk yard w a decent carb n cam can't help but make like 270

@@LAKESHARPER still be more cost effective to do all of that than the price of a pro charger...

To put it into real perspective, it only gains 60 hp. The K&N type air cleaner is good for 10 of those ponies. So you are only getting 50 hp from the vortech. I don't get it. Why would anyone do that? That kit is probably over $4k. For 5 grand to can do a complete LS swap including all the shit needed from donor truck to make it CA legal.

Got mine last year. Here's my comment😂

Amen to that! I still get the shakes out of front wheel drives. I'm 67yr

😂😂😂😂

Yeah this show was Krunk back in the day

I drive a 94 s10 and I got my license in 2018

You could do that in 2000? Funny didn't know those existed then. Think before you speak.

About 180 to the wheels but considering they didn't tune it the kit did alright if they had they would have gotten alot more to the wheels

No, the 4.3 V6 made 180hp/245tq stock.

Right where I get it from

It was discontinued many years ago

190 at the flywheel not at the wheels

2000

Your better off just getting a syclone clone kit off ebay

Unless you have some sort of forced Induction or you're spraying that 5.3 it 100% is NOT putting out 475 at the tires

@@yourmom-pi6jq I said about lol didn't say what side of that it's on!

You're over shooting by atleast 100hp at 475 ....

@@yourmom-pi6jq maybe to the wheels buy flywheel is Atleast 475, the same cam with stock pistons and intake and exhaust manifolds puts out 450 according to summit, and I've got flat tops with underdrive balancer, holley intake, a bunch of shit I spent too much money on

Not back in 2000 when it was filmed.

Not to the rear tires though

190 crank not wheel
