V6 to V8 Camaro Swap Part 2: The Engine Goes in!
Some people don’t appreciate building things from the ground up 🫡💯
White smoke usually isn’t coolant unless your using water instead of ainti freez
so i have a question, did the engine fit nicely into the engine bay without you have to cut anything
I won't to put a new 2016 motor in a z28 iroc
Need piston ring for marriage
does the rs version of this car has the same trans i want to do a l99 swap on my rs and keep it with the 6 speed auto that's in it?
Costed
11k for that motor and trans is robbery bro Nice build though
With the purchase of the v6 camaro all together u could have just bought a v8 camaro 😂
It’s about the journey, not the destination.
Sick build but damn could have bought an ss for that. But love the work! Salute to a great build
Yeah 10k I would bought an older z28 same body
you keep the v6 differential? trying to put lq4 and 4l80 in mine 😂
His face when he hit it he was so happy
how it went with the computer you also had to switch to V8 computer
Hey bro do you think I could swap a 5.3 into my v6 camaro ? If so please hit me back
Sup bro . I still got a few questions about the process of swamping the engine . Would appreciate it if you can help 🫡
What's up, feel free to ask!
C racked H eads E very V alve R attles O il L eaks E very T ime I love Chevy's
I don't know but that camaro is the ugliest car that general motors ever built
@@Sidehilld3 wtf you smokin on
Pass the blunt cuz ik you didn't type this sober
I love you!
Yes you did so now you need to put another engine 😂 just saying
I sure hope not lol
For sure replace the steering pump then listen to the engine again
Its my budget supercharger okay, stay away!
If not you Cracked a head. Liquid glass and a decent trade in.
Making the update video now. Wild process!
No you bought a Chevrolet😊😊😊😊
Average ford owner
@Beanburglar2345 what showing our taillights to camaros? Damn right bud.
Im lost
Egr valve I can't really tell unless I'm there is there oil in the coolant or vise versa
Update video coming out tn. It was in fact not the ERG valve
Was it low on coolant also looking at the plugs will tell you you cant go by the smoke its to cold right now
Plugs were all fouled so I replaced them. Also cleaned all the oil residue in the ports and intake manifold.
@ Change the pcv valve thats whats causing the oil in the intake problem you can rent a coolant pressure tester from Autozone to check the head gaskets but i dont think that was your problem you where burning off the oil
Yes
NO!
How much was the swap. I have a 2015 Camaro lt I’m trying to swap to a v8
Like $18k
@ sheesh , better off buying a new car
Doing a 2012 v6 Camaro swap to 5.3 LS engine trying to decide to keep the 6 speed auto transmission or do th350 transmission or 4l80e but what do you think anyone ?
Keeping it auto is so much easier, making it manual is so much funner!
Jersey brother! The factory audio in 5th gens suck major ass. I had the same problem with zero bass, even with the Boston Acoustics option. I did a whole rework, upgraded the door and rear deck speakers, kept the factory tweeters, 400w kicker amp. Use a FARK adaptor harness to connect everything. Use a Y-splitter off the rear RCAs to go to a mono sub amp, throw 2 skar 12s in the trunk. Keep the stock head unit, they’re not too bad. You’ll never complain about your audio again.
I love you, thank you!!!
Could have bought a cream puff low mileage Gen 5 SS for that money.
gay
Is this necesary? I just want to make a basic swap what do i need?
Honesty just an engine and some custom fab work will do the trick. Its possible to do it for under 2k
That ain’t bad tho a extra 20k is the ss price so he save 20k
Today I cleared up all my codes, so now I feel really happy with my decision.
Just saw all of your videos! Great job I recently picked up a 2011 Camaro RS for a father son project . The engine is bad and I’ve done my research. It seems like they all have problems so thinking it’s not worth rebuilding or getting a used V6 how can I shut off the vats on this V6? I have not found anything on the Internet or RUclips thanks.
I am not sure. I still have my v6 engine and trans and a ton of extra parts. If you are looking to put another v6 I would be more than happy to give you this stuff for free. I believe the PCV valve is just clogged! Just dont tell my parents thats the reason I had to v8 swap the car!
Was the subframe from the v6 the same as the v8? No need to swap subframe or mounts?
Same subframe and mounts, I replaced mine just because mine were so old but its all the same.
@@connormckenzie5648 doing a similar swap, thanks for the info!
Did the 6.2 sit any farther back in the engine compartment? Looking at the mount locations for the 3.6 and the 6.2 and looks like it will move the 6.2 back farther closer to the firewall?
It definitely moves the engine farther back.
Were you able to retain the factory BCM? Or did you have to use BCM from donor car?
I used a bcm from a donor car because I swapped it to manual as well.
i was just talking to my husband about wanting to do exactly this when i pay off my car, this makes me so excited lol
It was such a fun process and I definitely want to do it again.
How did you regulate the fuel pressure ? Did you run a return line or swap pumps ?
All v6 fuel components.
I personally would've saved $10k and put a 6.0 liter truck engine in it with a th400 trans and called it a day. Maybe that's $8k with money for a cam, intake and header's. But I'm old school. I've been toying with this idea because there are no 1st gen Camaros left for cheap. Good to see some of you young fellas carrying on a long tradition.
I was thinking about that but I wanted to keep an aluminum block and not have to swap oil pans.
@@connormckenzie5648 im doing this same thing. For the manual swap did u need to do anything to the transmission tunnel to get it to fit? Also my state requires e check were u able to get the engine light to stay out or atleast got any tips on that
Transmission tunnel stayed the same. I believe its my longtube headers causing the engine light but should be fixed once I tune the car.
You can often get the transmission free with the truck engine, so I’d do that also. Corvette servo and not worry because I’ve only ever broke one towing through hills.
So many keyboard warriors here. “wHy nOt jUsT gEt ThE v8” . Because like you said, that is content and its literally the definition of built not bought. Also if parts are available and you have the knowledge, why not do it? My friend has been a mechanic and ford tech for 8 years, and hes currently doing a coyote swap on my 2016 mustang v6. He made one RUclips short comparing the transmission bell housings on a v6 and v8, and that vid got 15k views and 321 likes!!
Exactly!
Yeah just barely cheaper than buying a 5th gen SS by maybe 2 or 3 thousand dollars but aye still a lil cheaper 👍
A win is a win
That’s the v6 to v8 swap camaro
Yes it is!
Disconnect that end link, it’ll give you enough to get it out
I refuse to let those end links win!
Some spring clmaps work womders
Its like a 20 minute drive to the store tho.
@@connormckenzie5648 buncha zip ties
I gave in and disconnected my end links when I did struts😅
I held strong and refused to give in.
good man
got to watch those hands!
Hello, "Connor McKenzie" I was analyzing your channel and saw that in your channel have some problem, That's why your channnel is not much growing and not getting much engagement, If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. If you tell I can tell these problems. Where can I tell? Here or email?
I am just making these videos for fun and to try and help people out. Thank you tho!
I absolutely love this video and I thank you for making it bc I've never had a muscle car and I'm looking at swaps.
What other kind of videos would you like me to make, I need ideas that would appeal to a large audience.
But also my 5th gen is down currently but I have this code and it won’t start in u0100 which is a lost connection to pcm code and I need help with it
Sounds simple but make sure to check all the fuses in the fuse box inside the car and the one under the hood.
Finnnallly new vid been wandering what happened to you and tha maro bro glad to see you still have it
I do apologize, I now have a full time job which takes up a lot of my time. Hopefully I will have a video about replacing the sway bar end links soon!
Did u end up fixing everything from the v8 swap
The only problem I have is my high beams and daytime running lights work but my low beams and fog lights do not. Very good chance its just a fuse.
Any recommendations for a beginner im 20 i have a 2015 Camaro LT and i want a v8 because theres so much more to work with im just beginning on cars and want to learn but i dont know where to start honestly
I highly recommend not doing any cheap mods to the car. I know it may be tempting but you will eventually hate it and have to spend a lot of money to get it back to where you started. When I started on cars I was just fixing things that was broken on my, friends and family members cars. Swapping an engine is a task and if you don't know how things on a car work you can end up stuck and feel like you threw money in a hole and lit it on fire. You will also need another car to drive as you are doing the swap as it took me about 2 months from start to finish to complete.
I’m thinking about getting one and v8 swapping in a few months if I can’t find a v8
Unless you are looking forward to pain, I don’t recommend it 😂
