Man, I just got through this maybe two months ago. I went the painless route. I’m a much bigger wuss than you. I feel like I could build my own harness after experiencing that build. I enjoy watching this build. I a currently putting an lt1 gen 2 in my c3. Maybe only two steps ahead of you. It helps to watch someone doing the same thing.

I'd rather have a '70 440 Six-Pack Challenger than either of them, personally.

I think that new models made in china😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

truck manifold makes the most toruqe

You talk sooooo much. WTF. What is the point? If you are going to make a video, do something people can learn from, not to show what you should not do from watching what I do.

great fan setup! overheating should not be an issue!

Finally caught up on the last two vids. All your projects required some custom fab but man this one 😅 great work tho

Give me the classics any day over the new

It appears to me that you are chassis grounding that amp. You can avoid that by running rubber spacers/graumets mounting that amp to any metal will chassis ground it & fry it. That is why most secure them to a wooden box. Run rubber graumets on both sides to avoid any metal contact to the electronics.

Doing all this when companies like ICT billet exist that specialize in swap solutions

Shade tree DIY

I had the same problem with a 6.0. However, I purchased a OEM steel hood (mine is a 83 one year plastic hood camaro) and installed DIY heat extractors that allowed me the space I needed. Now I have the clearance, good looking / functioning heat extractors, and a conversation piece at car shows.

Well done, now u have a real good looking car.

Get yourself an electric DA/orbital sander and some 80 grit discs. When you fab something like that fuse box bracket you can DA the raw bracket and it will give it a more "manufactured look plus it will take paint very well.

Love it!!!!

whats next after the big 3 engine swaps.? maybe euro?

Nice video. I'm enjoying your progress and taking the "get er done" approach and not spend $ on every aftermarket part to get your engine to fit

Side note on the power steering, way back when I did mine, I was able to take off then OEM fitting from my dodge power steering pump and replace the one on the LS pump with it. I did it not to reduce pump pressure(I didnt even know that was a thing 😂) but so that I could reuse my stock power steering hoses.

#superglue 👌

Man your doing a good job. It's coming along nicely 👌🏾

Definitely would've kept the AC. Corvettes are like driving a sauna, even a convertible~

You rock pal! You practically stole a rust free C3 Corvette Convertible then you stole an LS equipped SUV & swapping the drivetrain? Oh yeah. My new hero!

Those pins are meant to come out the back of the connector.

All those pins come out of those connectors through the back.

I have a question about swapping a ford explorer 5.0 and transmission into my 1976 ford f150. I’m new to this but I’m a seasoned mechanic so my question is this, if I pull the engine/transmission with ALL OF THE WIRING INCLUDING FUSE BOXES AND COMPUTERS can’t I just transplant all of that into my old truck and get it running? I’m not worried about transmission to driveshaft or engine mounts or headers or exhaust. I’m talking about taking EVERYTHING out with wiring and installing into my 1976 f150. It seemed to me that it should be able to run in this configuration. Same accessories, cooling system, etc. am I missing something here? Nothing different. Same everything transplanted into my old truck. Fuel system included. Why wouldn’t it run on the stock computers or will it? Thanks 🙏 for your reply sir. I’ve already swapped my 68 stang onto a 2005 chassis so metal work is not a problem. HELP ME PLEASE!!!! 😂❤

What a STEAL!

Love it

I NOTCIE THE BUCKET SEATS IN THE BACKGROUND WILL YOU SELL THEM?

why use the 4.8? you may end up dissapointed at the power it produces. 5.3 would have been better. the price is the same for both

Spptv channel shows a very nice alternator mount using the original bracket

Love the honesty in the build

The funny, soft connection in the wire is a fusible link, it can be replaced with a maxi fuse

The 70 all day, every day

Do you think the water pump welding you did is watertight? Sick build yet again, man! Looking forward to the rest!

I enjoy your content, I watch you last two projects. Great work very helpful

Exactly what not to do!,adapters exist for this situation.

Great find!!! Hope you got the tires/rims he took off🎉❤

nice breakdown of the costs. do you happen to have a list of the part numbers and where you purchased the parts? I know this video was a few years old but the costs you paid I can't seem to even find anything that cheap for them and im looking at summit and even amazon

I've been using that same fuse block on my LS swap for 4 years, great box but the connectors it comes with are not great with constant higher amperage loads. I ordered heavier connectors for the fuel pump and electric fans, after the first ones burned up. Eventually soldered the crimps as well to make it the best it could be, no issues since. The connectors are Sumi ATC 12-14 Female for the Fuses and AMP 1012 Locking TP / AMP 1214 Locking TP for the relay blocks. I got them from CycleTerminal

from what I've watched, a portal band would be a great addition. I picked up a Milwaukee for $115 recently

I like the water pump mods where you put the elbows in! Very nice! I need to do that!

New subscriber, been watching you since you swapped out the engine in the Mustang... I gotta say, you definitely know your way around an automobile.💯👍🏿... I'm in my late 50's and have been fooling around with cars since the 1980's. Don't see to many young guys with your knowledge. Where did you pick up your skill?

now tell me that fiat isn't based on a 'Cuda.

I have been watching your channel for a while now. You give out such a positive energy and that honest vibe. Love the channel and the awesomeness you put out. Thanks ❤

Are all your relays fused in that relay box you were setting up? Good progress on the Vette, I like the heater hose setup, if you have the part numbers of those fittings I can use them on my sons car also

An LS1 waterpump out of a 4th gen f body and .75” spacers would have made life ALOT easier….but good work either way!!

Dude not for nothing but...... You're a safety third kinda guy. I appreciate what you're doing and wish I could do the same. While watching you work I was like "Might as well hold the blade with your hand while cutting threw the WD" . You're a pucker factor fo-sho.

Been loving this series! Just bought a 5.3 today to swap my c3

Love watching your videos thanks for sharing them

Old school guys trying to build 300hp for cheap or just get a modern engine from the junkyard for cheap or free with stock 300hp. Lmao
