You might be a backyard garage mechanic by your own claim but there's something you should know. It's awesome watching you so often take the time to get things done well. The trial and error you have to push through just helps regular Joe's like me to remember that mistakes will be made but they don't have to be final result. Thanks for filming so much of what you do. It's informative, inspiring, and fun to watch. Thanks Taylor 👍

It’s not even that expensive. You could easily run a stock bottom end at this power or more. Turbos $500. Huron speed makes a full kit for $2500. Decapped injectors. DW pump. And you’re off to the races. Watch Matt Happel’s “don’t bs me” series. It’s a little dated so would probably recommend doing a Holley now vs stock ecu but still. Super budget.

We bought a wrecked Escalade from the auction and used everything drivetrain related. We sold everything else and the swap was basically free. It'll cost a bit to turbo it but if you can get a donor for the swap it'll make it easier/cheaper. Of course the s10 thinks it's an Escalade now but it works.

That's so funny. Just rebuilt my Suburban 6.0 and I did nearly the same thing. I swapped right and left heads when reassembling and had to pull that plug and install on the "right" head. Doubly funny - after installing the engine, I pulled it out again (another story), pulled the heads, and then inadvertantly swapped them again - so I had to swap that plug a second time.

If you haven't figured out fans yet it looks like you have room for the oem 2005-2007 dual e fan setup. You can pick up the factory style connectors pretty easy and wire your own relay setup to the terminator so you don't need the whole harness. Since your thinking daily and maybe drag and drive having fans that you can pick up at any parts store or junkyard or same day from Amazon comes in clutch.

Just some good info to have is, try to stay away from aftermarket fans. Buy e fans out of a 05-11 Silverado Tahoe Yukon etc and they will bolt right into the core support. Buy the connectors and wire factory fans in yourself. They cool great and at the right play they cost around 60-80 bucks. Just wanted to be helpful but I’m sure your gonna go with mishi fans or something. Mishi also makes a radiator and e fans for 99-06 trucks as well so. Yeah love the video man keep on keepin on
