just a quick video I made to help answer questions I am frequently asked about the swap a performed, this video was done in one take so be gentle lol. hope it helps.
Was the black/white wire just stubbed out of the connector? Im doing a swap and my black/white wire is running all the way to fuse block. Its a V6 2001 firebird.
Looking at my receipt from 2012 (which I somehow found lol) the motor retailed for $3,554.44 and I paid $2,978.13 Can't find them that cheap anymore lol
Wish I found your channel earlier! Watch my latest vid, my shop ran a different fuel feedline setup. I think your system works better than mine cause I have warmstart issues caused by steambubble build up, I think.
I did upgrade the fuel pump and the line with the green cap is a EVAP line. Also within the last 2 weeks got around to replacing the v6 fuel lines with v8 lines. So everything is now correct
My question is …If I put a 5.3 vortec pickup engine in my Firebird & change all the stuff that’s needed to fit f-body (like alternator,power steering ,water pump ,brackets etc.) What wire harness should I get ?
Would also need f body oil pan and balancer I believe as well. I'd go with a factory harness, custom gets pricey. I had parts from a donor when I did mine. Lots of options to wire the motor tho
@@evanhall19I’m doing the same thing with a 5.3 in a 99 firebird .. should I get the factory Ls1 harness and also the Ecm ? Any help would be greatly appreciated sir .. thank you 🙏🏼
@EricAtkinsonMusic after a quick search most people had a ton of issues trying to use anything other than a factory harness, as a truck harness has the PCM on the other side of engine bay. I would also find the correct pcm for the car as well. Less hassle, unless you have HP tuners to adjust a truck pcm to work in the firebird
@@evanhall19 so I’ll just get me an ls1 99 trans am harness and pcm and go that route..I have all the fbody parts adapters brackets and stuff and I’m not sure what size transmission is in mine ..it’s got a super big pan but will I have to change the transmission as well .. also that injection 2 wire is already hooked up on mine for some reason
Well about that lol, your gonna have to add a pin. I went the lazy way and just jammed the fuse down over the wire. One side of the injector 2 fuse location is hot (mine was)

Those are some damn good tips.Appreciate it 🤘🤘🤘

I actually have no idea where that black white wire goes to fusebox. I just followed someone else's tortorial. It just worked lol
So I have a 2000 firebird with the v6 how do you wire the L’s into that car ?
There is only one wire to add to make it run. Ls wiring harness plugs right into the v6 body harness
Were LS1 crate engines that cheap in 2012?
2-3 times that now.
A decent mileage 5.3 is probably the more affordable option nowadays.
Nice swap!

I have not had any start up issues with my fuel system set up. only need to change mine to AN fittings to be safer
Yours is clean BTW.
two questions.
1) did you upgrade the fuel pump?
2) where does the fuel line with the green cap go?
I did upgrade the fuel pump and the line with the green cap is a EVAP line. Also within the last 2 weeks got around to replacing the v6 fuel lines with v8 lines. So everything is now correct
@@evanhall19 thank you for the reply.
What wiring harness did you use?
It's just a stock 99-02 camaro/Trans Am engine/transmission harness, they plug right into the v6 body harness

@@evanhall19 yes I had to get the f body oil pan too. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

How did you get the cruise control module to wire up?
Never hooked it back up..... I do miss it!
@evanhall17 ahh that's about where I'm at
@@williamkosarek780 I still got the wiring tied up in front of the fans for the electric throttle body.
Ok so I’m trying to hook up the inj-2 fuse where did u draw power from? My fuse block is empty on both sides
Well about that lol, your gonna have to add a pin. I went the lazy way and just jammed the fuse down over the wire. One side of the injector 2 fuse location is hot (mine was)
@XenoSeven86 now that you've asked me this question, my install is now bothering me..... guess I'll order a pin to install into the fuse block lol
@@evanhall19 I just went to a pick n pull and grabbed one off a Tahoe. But yeah think it’s called Multi-Pak idk the number 150/250?
