You might think about making the upper rad support removable. It will make taking it in and out really easy
Also you might look at wilwood peddle assembly where you can put 2 brake cylinders and a clutch cylinder on a hanging peddles and adjustable brake bias. It would mount inside the car freeing up the engine compartment
degreaser aint cheap. But oven cleaner is ;)
Don't forget to replace the stock flywheel with an aftermarket aluminum one
Guys please replace the wheels of Engine trolly. I hate to see you guys working so hard while you can simply replace those bad wheels.
Looks like christmas morning. Everyone running around exited.
Now that's what I call Kleeeeeen. That looks like a pretty good fit to me. Nice to see everyone joining in and giving you a hand when needed.
Roll on the next episode!!!. Cheers, Bob in the UK.
Leave the engine back, there’s a bracket to relocate the shifter forward. Better for weight transfer.
Definitely
For the back panel inside the car (former backseat) use a contouring fabric so you don't loose the lines...
Make sure you upgrade your oil pump , stock ones are known to fail on constant high rpms and for drifting applications your going to be there all the time . Better be safe then sorry.
I used a Porsche 944 brake booster in my E30,smaller diameter and bolts straight in.
This channel is about to blow up. The quality and the content is progressing every video!
It looks like it and I sure hope so. Ben (and his brothers/dad) deserves it!
What do you mean "is about to" ?
Cleaning tips.
There are degreasers and expensive cleaners for automotive use but you can use cheap household cleaners to sometimes better effect.
Oven cleaner for baked on grease and oil.
Automatic dishwasher powder for general grease and grime around an engine bay (this stuff eats alloy)
Toilet cleaner to remove corrosion on alloy and steel ( some are better on steel others on alloy depending on type of acid in them)
Or white vinegar.
Oven cleaner is amazing!
It comes to mind that you guys are fearless. Definately fun to watch!
when stabbing that engine/trans combo in, try jacking the back of the car up high, makes it so much easier. Interesting build.
Check out Taylor Ray’s channel on RUclips, he put an LS in a Miata and used a shifter that mounts much closer in towards the motor to get it closer to the factory shifter hole inside the cab.
2 of my favourite thing joined together. Ls and e30 😍😍looking forward to the finished product. 👍
When your doing your motor make sure if your changing cam ,by al means do lifters.make sure you pull oil pan and replace the o ring seals on oil. Pickup this is important,cause if bad allows leak down on motor,small part causes big money.just take your time.😎😎👍👍
There’s a lot of love for the LS and they are so popular because it’s a lot of power right on the box in a small, confined package. The LS fits almost anywhere.
wow i love your cinematic style. not many re-builders think of video and filming quality like you
Awesome yeah the engine mount should be easy to make but just mok it up first, as might need the sump to see where it sits, plus as someone said there is a kit to shift the grear stick , but you need those things to see where they go
Best car channel. No hard sell of merch at the beginning. No crazy arm waving at the camera. Just gets to work and keeps it cool.
Don’t know who your talking about haha. I notice he doesn’t flip every tool in the air as well......
How about not having most of the tools before builds and going back and forth to the shops
Great choice of engine LS2 are very popular here in Australia light weight and can make alot of power completely mental with a turbo 👍
this build is going well, LS fits nice, shorten all the linkages on the shifter, or just make new ones.
Coming along nicely guys, can't wait for the engine to fire up.
Next Episode: Modifying engine hoist wheels to roll on concrete.
😂😂😂
That's gold mate
Please actually do it
@@strinati They could also use a proper engine tilt device. It's pretty dangerous lifting up the engine like that.
Exactly what came to my mind. 👌😂
You need to clean out the yard .You and mark put up your own shop .. Enjoy seeing pop all so. Please keep the videos coming
For an easier install, you should try to use the lift to remove the front subframe an install the engine lowering the car into it with the subframe, that way is more easy and it actually fits.
A few people, including me, think that's a good idea.
You need some better wheels on that engine hoist. You gonna shake an engine off that someday lol
Upgrade oil pump and get rid displacement on demand so swap lifters and cam. They make a DOD delete kit and thats what you need.Great swap. This will be awesome
This was one casual video, loved it. The old man coming in...
These young men are impressive. The friendly little interaction with the old guy shows they were raised well.
@@babysingstheblues 👍
Jeremy told you no lies- the Tremec TR 6060 is a bullet proof box- easily capable of more horsepower than anyone needs on the street. Your plan with the shifter sounds very doable. I'll be here to see it happen!
Look at where the brake master cylinder/booster is supposed to sit, and don't forget about header and exhaust pathway and clearance.
This is going to be a little monster with the LS in it!
Appreciating your videos more and more, great job guys. 👍
E85 in the background... V10 swap ? 😍
Nice project, I look forward to see the Mustang's project continue.
I recommend replacing the oil pump, there is an actuator that varies the oil pressure that always goes bad and it's part of the pump. I also recommend deleting the variable displacement system. The lifters sometimes stay collapsed.
Looking good. Remember the stand subframe? I would buy one before you try to make it. Money well spent.
Nice going there that bimmer is looking good cant wait to see it done, like always stay safe in the shop, bmw will look shape with some nice rims.
if you jack up the rear of the car, the engine will go in easier. just my .02
Also take it off the jack stands
Your cammed LS E30 vs Motorhead's Turbo 4 banger, would love to see some quarter mile runs and some laptimes of both the builds when they are finished. Cheers man ✌️
Way too many safety issues in your shop V !
Steel toe shoes bud !
A proper quality engine hoist and lift chains. Man you gotta save yourself from injuries !
Ecological too.
I was thinking the same thing when he was kerning on the engine hoist. My back was hurting just watching
Gotta get some good casters for the engine hoist...but anyway you doing good bro. Very talented group of guys in that shop.
Great job with perfect guys by the way you can cut a shifter steak and weld other one and guide it to the original position
Get an engine chain before you loose your toes !! Lower center of gravity helps so keep the engine close to the ground while moving the cherry picker around . Did you see him wipe the grease on the clean transmission 😂
Great engine! Just make sure you delete the active fuel management (displacement on demand) bullshit because it'll eat lifters and cams! Congrats on your new 6.0l!
I love the unscripted moment with Gerry. "You're gonna be famous!"
I am torn. Seeing this clean old BMW made we want to see it stock. But it is fun to watch engine swaps. I have seen many SB Ford & Chevys transplanted into many Euro and Japanese cars including Jaguars. Not sure I would do it......but it certainly worked out well for Carroll Shelby. 😉
Everything else being the same, it would have cost about the same rebuilding that tired old 100 hp 1.8L four as this LS swap will cost. The LS swap is a way better value.
@@houseofno Exactly. Only arm chair commenters hate LS swaps. No one who actually builds hates using them.
Great to see that you young blokes have found out how good German car engineering is, they make bloody good cars and they are durable.
The Sergio Garcia ?
Who else noticed the mouse pointer ⬆️ above that guy's head at 7:15? 😀
BTW, the engine turned out sparkling clean 💫
Dang hawk eyes
Good spot, if you slow the video down though it’s actually a huge fly!!
flying bug
I saw it !😀
@@SkipHDP i think your right 👍
VTUNED FTW!! Excited for this build and the mustang
What a nice behavior helping people even paying them little cash to ease their lives.
We do this also in my beloved IRAN.
Lovely old man looks like my lovely dady.
God bless.....💜💜
The engine in that wrecker sounds sweet
You can find instruction in dioing this swap and on the firewall and shifter than cutting it up it's a hurst anyway. Popular conversion on Ford Mustangs.
J&J to the rescue! They're awesome
put the booster in and the steering shaft before final design location on engine mount , test fit with shorty header kit
It looks really cool setting in there.
Nothing like dropping the crank on the rack!!
Nice project, I wish you could find an LS engine with less mileage. I can't wait to see some dyno numbers.
Whidebody would fit great❤️
@vtuned you should do a head gasket seal replacement while you got the engine apart.
Thats a nice engine. Would be good if you'd go for wide body for that LS swapped BMW.
This car is literally gonna be brand new, an who doesn’t like an LS ? 👀🔥
L76 is a 6.0 Litre LS engine. They were also fitted to the Australian built Commodores. We also got the L98 and the L77.
6:43 I love that dude VTUNED
Damn, I hope you're gonna rebuild that Z4 for us on here!!!#!
There is always a OG like that... Been in the hood since forever and everyone be taking care of them
Yes sir he used to work with us stays working harder then some of these younger folks these days
@@Vtuned just wait till these youngsters have little youngsters! Game over for the world lol
great team work among the brothers
Trust that engine strap just as much as a fart after eating Taco Bell...
Its a seat belt.
Its built to carry a 400 pound fatass at 3g. It'll be fine
You guys are always kicking ass on the wild side!
Love watching this come together.
Another RUclips LS swap.... 🥱 the only saving grace for this project car is Vtuned will find a way to make it different.
Just for your info. The Aussie built Commodores with the LS Engine used a front sump in the earlier series and they are a straight bolt on fit to the later LS engines.
Take a shot every time he says “so”.
Love these vids!
...or "nice."
God dam that is going to scream,NICE
looking pretty cool swap buddy. like that hoodie too!!
Terrific building
You DO NOT want to move the engine forward. If anything, you want to move it back more (but I realize you may not want to cut the car up that much).
There are shifter mod kits, and complete shifter kits, that move the shifter forward or back several inches.
What a nice guy, was gonna give jerry 2 dollars.
I would have never taught of doing that with the flatbed 👍🏾👍🏾
i would get all the brackets and figure out where your mounting your accessories on the front and radiator placement so you know how far forward to move the engine and then build your mounts , which there are several companies making in expensive universal mount kits out there. then check out stock exhausts you will get better clearance fitments with just as good or better perfotmance with a little dremell pollishing welds and casting flanges on the insides. , also there some really good dry sump pan systems out there which helps for bottom clearances good luck and lean on jeremy hes a wealth of reat knoweldge on the LS series engines
Vtuned said make that engine shine
Enjoying this build.
You should definitely paint the motor and transmission but different colors. It would look really nice and will standout
Take a look at the Sikky LS kit.
BMW The Power of Dream. 💪💪🙂
The mustang is looking sick dude I can't wait to see the car on the road😍
Awesome work brother👍🏻💯
no bullshit just work, love it
Check the driver side valve cover real good.
Do the lifters and cam FOR SURE. I bought my gto with a cam in it and it lost a lifter and ruined the cam
Agreed, being it's a newer gen 6.0 it'll have D.O.D or active engine management Texas Speed will sell a cam lifter and D.O.D delete kit.
Very good 👍
IDK, but you and the Motorheads need to get some new wheels and casters on that hoist, and maybe a tilting sling to help the installs. KOKO!
You can get a new bracket to relocate the shifter. Just measure the size you need. But your pretty skilled enough to shorten the old one. And be careful not to smack the crank since the pan is off.
I've got no experience on these massive jobs at all, but I'm thinking that moving the engine forward a little bit, will help with the clearing issues for both the headers, the shifter and brake booster, without modifying a lot what you have right there. Also, on the other hand, you might get lucky enough to get a nice driveshaft without the need of creating a custom one as well, which help to cut some costs all the way around, imho.
Actually the engine should be moved as far BACK as possible not forward for center of gravity. You want the powertrain close to the center of the car, not balancing over the front axle.
@@houseofno That is correct, I agree 100%. I mentioned that as VTuned was planning to not mod the body that much as well. On the other hand, he did mention that he's planning to do a manual transmission conversion later on. If that's the case, then he might not run into these clearance issues anymore.
Engine should be "almost" touching the firewall.
New equipment needed. Good project. Buy the motor mounts.
oven cleaner cleans engines really well.
Dont cut the shifter linkage... Just push the engine forward till its lined up you have plenty of room... The offset the engine mounts back a smidge easy peasy
I think you should do an overhaul on your engine stand because it looks like you were struggling a little bit 🤷♂️😎
You should be able to top mount that shifter into the top middle like people do in the Chevy obsC1500 silverado when they go for a t56 swap
You can make two corn hole games from that shipping create!
Patiently waiting for the next episode.. Good job vTuned garage!!
Отличный выбор
I think cleaning the engine and transmission would have been a good job for your visitor.
