A lesson from Dane Bolton on How To Set Up 5.3 LS Engines
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Our friend Dane is here today to go over the 5.3 LS engine that we have in the 1955 Mercury. He got us to order a bunch of things that are needed for the engine to run seamlessly; from the ECU, plug and play wiring harness, fuel filter, fuel regulator... the whole nine yards ✅

Thanks for having me! Always fun to bounce ideas off each other and teach someone a few pointers about the ls swap! More than one way to do it but I hope I helped to break down the process a bit!
Good on you Dane 👏
I've got to tell ya you given me advice just watching you and Chad going around the engine . Every time I learn something about how to build a car watching Chad or Jim now you its great thanks I appreciate it all . Thumbs-up Dane 👍
Get them to push on with fuel system and intake setup so we can see you back there wiring it up
@@shaungreen3949 in due time, I’ll check back in next time I’m in the area!
Dane you are a cool dude very knowledgeable
Dane Bolton really seems to know his stuff. It is so amazing today to see the younger generation being so up on this electrical and computer tech. Bill
Nice to see Dane and hear all about how the engine gets wired, it appears to not be very involved. One of Chads best qualities is he’s always upbeat and willing to learn and if something doesn’t go as planned he adapts and still has a smile on his face. This channel can teach more than car building, it teaches you to have an open mind and learn for the next time too.
Jolene as always, you do a wonderful job in filming and putting it all together.
Good video! Dane seems to be very knowledgeable in the wiring of newer cars. It’s nice to see each of you willing to help each other out. That’s how it used to be with everyone.
I love when Old School Meets New School and the Knowledge passes both ways. Thanks Dane for your other brilliant ideas and great advice.
With respect, Young dog teaching old dog new tricks . Great to see Chad taking it all in. I can see the beginning of a great friendship here.
Nice to see y'all brought in a professional that has done the LS SWAP,
And I like the way Dain said he will guid Chad to do it but won't do it all. That's how you learn by doing if you make mistakes that's okay to. EVERYDAY is a school day Gene Windfild would say.
These swaps are very straight forward and can be done with aftermarket harnesses and modules, or oem used components. My last build was a 49 chevy truck and I used a 5.3/4L60E and the oem harness and PCM I bought it all for $1400, even came with the power steering, water pump and alternator.
Making the harness work was as simple as peeling off the loom and tape and eliminating circuits not being used, then retaping it. It was in great shape. Used an amber LED for the check engine light.
This build will be super cool when done!
Very interesting listening to Dane.
Obviously has a great deal of knowledge.
He can also give a very smooth and modest delivery. A nice young man.
Chad seemed to be enjoying his lesson.
Looking forward to his next visit.
😊🇬🇧😊
I love seeing old school and new school come together, you guys work well together !!
Nice also to see a smart young guy working on an old car, he seems quite knowledgeable, I forsee a future with you guys working together 😄👍
Thank You Chad and Dane. Best and simplest LS install I've ever seen. I'm always nervous of the electrical components on a car.
Fantastic! I am putting this exact motor in my 1970 F100 Ranger at this moment.
It's funny seeing Chad getting a lesson on modern technology. You can see his genuine interest, but also a funny distaste for it all at the same time. This will be fun to see his evolution into more modern fuel injection.
Like when AN fittings were brought up...LOL
Nice to have a knowledgeable guy around to help with stuff like this. Dane seems like a nice guy.
Smart young man he makes things easier to understand !
Nice that Dane is able to help out and bring his experience to the build.
its nice to have someone so young that knows how to setup everything
Love the techniques and the fact that you openly share your life lessons with us.
Keep them coming!
Always interesting watching Chad from just down the road in Scotch Village, but I think Dane has the order of the fuel pump and filter/regulator backwards, at 4:05. I've done a couple of LS swaps, and used the same filter, but it's under pressure, with the pump before it, not after. I'm sure they'll sort it out!!! I wonder if in the end Chad will say "LS's are cooler than dang"!!
Dane is a great guy to have on board when setting up the LS engine great informative video.
Nice! he knows his stuff, no hesitations! This is great, Chad is learning about engines & how to install them! He gives you suggestions,and leaves it up to you! I think you have to nickel weld cast iron! I worked at an iron foundry, and we picked up a lot of free stuff for our cars because we would melt down engine blocks, and had to take all the stuff off that wasn't cast, so if you needed a manifold, you took it before it got melted down! I'm an old school engine guy!
i'm glad you found dane-he can definitely get the LS properly plumbed and wired for elvis. it's gotta be done right, and he's the man for the job.
Fun episode to watch today guys, wiring is always scary for me, but Dane showing the simplicity of it really helps, Go team Hiltz 👍👍
Done was very helpful to those of us who are new to LS engines. Chad will have a great engine when it is all said and done
I like to see something different all the time. Although I’m probably too old to ever do an LS swap it is still very interesting. More to building a car than welding and painting! Thanks Chad and Jolene!
Awesome episode ...Dane really knows his stuff , decent fella , easy to follow and a wealth of knowledge , lucky to have his input and help , good for you folks ! I picked up some valuable things , as i have a 5.3 in my GMC Sierra , Thanks for sharing Chad and Jolene with Fina supervising as usual ! Great build with a modern twist 👌
Love how every episode is different and every day I learn something new. Thanks Chad and Jolene :)
Great video!!!! It is nice to see the younger generation involved in custom car builds.
Your new friend is a natural!! Need to keep him.Seems to really know his stuff!!
This may become useful information for a lot of peoplle.
Thank you Dane for all the useful information. Hope to see much more of you. Thanks Chad and Jolene for the great show. You make building a car easy.
Very cool episode 😎...I got this motor in my truck...gave me some good info...and yes seems pretty basic...and im not big on wiring but thanks to the chad and jolene show Dane was able to share his knowledge...thanks to you all..see ya tomorrow
I like when Chad troubleshoots with others, having friends like Dane is how we get things done! Good job guys!
I am learning a lot about the LS motor switch🤔 thank you for sharing your knowledge bad Chad !!
Really enjoy each episode, this was great information. I also appreciate you sharing your knowledge on customizing and metal fabrication, thanks Chad and Jolene!
I like how Dane exudes confidence right from the introduction. He seems to be a great addition to the community. I look forward to watching his influence spread through all the projects.
very good advice from Dane Chad but one thing I've have learned with fuel you'd alway want to have a pre fuel filter before your pump. it's just protection so your pump don't get any dirt in it. take care Chad and Jolene
I got a 74 Chevrolet square body 4 wheel drive that I'm thinking about putting an LS engineer I'm glad you have this for me to watch it will help me make up my mind
The "ECU" in this case is actually called a PCM, since it controls both the engine and transmission, so that makes it a Powertrain Control Module. If it controlled only the engine it would be called an ECM, or Engine Control Module. Those vehicles would also need a TCM, for Transmission control. :).
You got this Chad. Good help is always a great thing. Thanks for the video
Awesome. Always find myself intimidated by engines. Now I know which way to go. Thx for visiting Chad
Yes, it seems like a good idea to put the battery in the rear trunk. 👍
The power buttons could be hidden with a cover and placed in the center console under the dashboard. 😉
Greetings from Switzerland
If there were more people like Dane, Chad and Jolene who are passionate about their work and prepared to share the world would be better off. Thanks Joe
Wow very knowledgeable young man. That is so nice to see.
This was a great video. very informative and ready to see the final hook up and engine fire up.
Daily watcher, really enjoyed this episode. Dane seems very knowledgeable and keeps it simple.
Awesome for you to come out and visit Chad and explaining the engine component accessories needed with your knowledge Dane. Top Effort
Quite informative. I'm planning on building a DF Goblin and have a Chevy Cobalt donor. The wiring harness will need major modification for the Goblin and this gives an insight as to what's required.
Thanks for inviting us to your shop. The LS is all new to me.
Different work other then body and paint. Change of pace is always good. Keep up the awesome work. I'll be at this level soon enough
some of the best bits are the pondering over what and where .as your building your custom you have so much more choices .bless fina in the snow loving it haha . thanks guys as always
that was really helpful, its not so intimidating was its explained so well. ty
Good to have Dane there with you his advice is so very good he is so full of good knowledge can't wait to see it all happen
Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two
I always learn something new thank you guys!!
The time spent setting all this up now will be so much easier than when you have that nice paint and cowling all installed and than having to get it all later. Good luck and always watching.
Dane Bolton is a very impressive and knowledgeable young man. He certainly knows the LS engine.
Cant wait to see this one Dane will know his stuff,thanks chad and jolene
Very good episode. You guys hit alot of good points and covered things most RUclips builders forget to mention. 👍
WOW!... Very impressed with Dane!...Man he knows his stuff!...thanks 4 video. be kind.
great idea to get some ideas from someone with more experience dealing with LS swaps Thanks for letting us ride along
Great show man. It's nice to know that you can order what ya need for a harness. My best friend is doing the same with his truck. Now it doesn't seam so scary in getting and installing the correct harness.
As usual, your videos never disappoint!!!! Amazed at the things you do! A REAL Master Fabricator!!!!
Good to have Dane to provide some knowledge.
I love a heater and ac . I never know what the weather will bring. I pick up small cars to steal the units out of and retro fit for my projects . Just a suggestion. Great video i always wondered how hard it was to put a ls motor in and hook up everything. Great info
Love this I wish I was closer that I could come and watch what you do
Dane is a knowledgeable young lad, good to have someone like that to help out
Interesting show today, bringing the Merc some much needed updates, after all his name is Elvis. Should be exciting to hear this truck engine run and drive the Merc. I betting we all will be pleasantly surprised.
nice to have someone to help in knowledge
Keep up the great work Chad & Jolene & Dane!!!! Learning a ton from you that I am using over on my bagged '52 Chevy 3100 project I'm documenting on my channel :)
Great amount of information from Dane, a lot of items to think about
This should be very informative Thk you for being there Dane to help out Chad and Jolene
Nice to see you both talk ideas through.
Thanks for having Dane explain somethings.
Yes, have your hole behind the engine towards the left side of the engine, it will hide where it's coming through and then it splits to each side of the engine. The split is for the injectors, knock sensors, mass air flow, altenator. As you start plugging everything in the harness starts to point to where it wants to go, you got this, you do way crazier and harder stuff then running a harness. Bad Chad got this.
Hang tough Chad... Newer technology is always a bit intimidating at first glance.
Would it be worth checking out a wrecked LS body to see if there is any brackets you could use for mounting the wiring harness and computer. Might be easier than making them.
The LS platform seems like a really nice drop in and go setup, fairly easy by the sounds of it !
You always brighten up the day and make me laugh cant wait to see the finished product
It's amazing the work you do chad. It's awesome. Thanks for the video Jolene
Alot of useful info on the LS swap thank you
Ok how many times will Chad and Jolene watch this video to maje sure they get everything right. It's a great thing to be able to go back
you can get a bluetooth elm 327 adapter to plug into the obd2 connector and put a free app like torque lite on your smart phone to check what is going on with the PCM, check and clear codes etc.
This is a great learning video I've seen a lot of them but this one sinks in the mind better better learning process
Great explanation of the LS Swap.
Hello Chad, this is an excellent choice. Don't worry you and Dane can do this. you have plenty of people in your area that can help you.
Get is touch with "Halfass Kustoms". He was just talking about you, plus advising people to follow you. He does many of these conversions in his builds. He has pin out diagrams for customs projects. This guy is a good source for getting those special bits and pieces. Please contact him and get the other guys in your area to assist you and Dane.
Nice to have someone to help with knowledge of the process.
Great video guys. The hole making thing is called a knockout. Electricians use them. Before step bits were popular, we would drill a small hole, then use a 1/2 knockout, then use the 2” knockout.
this is match better than a daily soap, Just love it to see
Nice to have someone to come down and explain the system. I don't know anything about LS swaps.
Not afraid to learn something new and not afraid to show it well done Chad
use a baffled gas tank so the pump won’t get starved and lean the engine out. My ls swap has a in-tank fuel pump and it has a filter sock on it at the pick up and then the filter is after that pump next to my fuel tank. I’m using the same filter Dane showed you “corvette style”. There’s a oil pressure sensor on the back on the motor behind the intake which I’m sure you can wire a gauge to it so you don’t have to run oil into the cab through that line.
You can get a 25 ft roll of 3/8 nylon line with fitting for that particular fuel filter/regular. Cut the line to fit, push the fittings on and go. It's the same style fittings and lines car makers have been using for years. You can get it all on Amazon, eBay or rockaut. That's what I use on my budget Ls swaps..
Good tech session, explains a lot about the ls setup
Dane seems like a great asset to have for this swap!
Setting up the LS motor is much different from the older carbonated motors, having Dane come in and run through the set up was a good idea. Thanks Mark Dutka Oakville Ontario Canada
Great lesson wiring an LS in a vehicle thanks Dane,have great night,God bless.
Smart Young Man.Good Job Guys!!
If you are super tight on space, Hooker blackheart manifolds used for S10 LS swaps hug the block the tightest. I went through 3 different ones for my 50 Chevy coupe till I found those.
This should be another awesome and informative episode! Looking forward to it.
Lots of useful information here today with Dane.
