I love my Quick Jacks. I used them to remove the transmission on my 1967 Dodge Charger. All I had to do was remove one of the front tires to get the front of the case to have enough clearance. There are RUclips videos on how to modify them for easier rolling. Great episode as always.
When you remove a hood on this style of truck you just have to remove lh and rh cowl covers. The hinge bolt and nut is accessible. Remove spring bolt at hood plate and remove pivot bolt for hood. When you reinstall hood it is still lined up, as long that you reassemble the fenders in original place.
It's cool that regardless of the value of the parts being put to use, it's all still bolt-on, showing how far something could be taken without needing to invest in fab tooling or have the know-how for fab work.
When I remove a hood or another body panels I drill 1/8th holes near the mounting bolts Then use rivets or drill bits for alignment during reassemble to align the part The holes are invisible when the hood is closed or door or trunk or fender Works pissa and don't need extra help if you're alone
This build is pretty cool. It's great that you're doing from the stand point of being a bolt on build. Oh yes, the intercooler/burnout video is so rad.
I was going to take a break today but watching this video got me itching to go back out and work on the car.. its hot, its humid, its outside and in the sun but I am still going to wrench for a couple hours at least. Currently working on pulling the stock exhaust to put a 3" turbo back, boost gauge, AEM Wideband, Boost controller, some smog deletes and replace a few bushing on my 87 Conquest.
Thanks Mike, at 71 it's too late for me but through you and Joe I can keep my dream alive........ kind of... it's interesting it's understandable, it's a good time and actually fun... Let the good times roll✌
Remembering when your neighbor was bummed out about the truck when he saw the truck outside, now the rolling chassis, good thing he didnt hear about the hammers sawall comment.😅
Dropped front subframe and exhaust, and replaced turbos and did a transmission swap to manual 6 speed on my '08 BMW 535xi using Quick Jacks. Easy clearance and very stable. Highly recommend if you don't have space for a full lift.
So, I still have my 92’ OBS with a 4.3 and manual, 23 years later. Funny, not so funny story, I had a bunch of my money saved up for my first car. Odd job growing up, saving, usual story… I made the dumb decision, one day after school, to go shot for shot with a bottle of gut rot, and I wound up in the hospital later that day. I woke up in a hospital bed with my father asking me if I wanted another drink, with a cigar in hand. Needless to say, parents had me pay that $4,500 hospital bill with my car money I had saved up for, for so long. The $800 W/T long bed was what I could afford after that dumbass endeavor. Still have it though. Replaced every brake line, replaced entire fuel system from tank up to rebuilding the TBI. Taught me a ton. Still have it this many years later. Still is our family’s workhorse. I can go turn the key right now. Always wanted to slam it since day one, and was giving more thought to it when your Ridetech video dropped. Serendipity? I’m also an artist aside from a wrench, and want to do a cool hand painted door piece. Showcase some skills and have a cool cruiser. I don’t need your low mile 4.3, I just wanted to share my personal OBS story. Figured you’d all get a kick out of it.
That would be sick with a cow Hood ? Help the motor run cooler. Think about it. , enjoying this project , we have two Obs , a 94 Silverado , Black regular cab , we going to do an LS with twin turbos , and the other one is a 454 SS , both lowered , they both have 4 inch NPD Hood , looks cool and runs cooler 👍👍👍👍
I have used a 1/8 drill bit to make panels fit back perfectly and it works perfectly every single time and it isn’t a huge eyesore by doing it this way.
Mike, I think you’re awesome! A friend of mine recently introduced me to motortrend tv…(I live under a rock lol). I binged all your shows. Love it! I especially enjoyed the monster truck episode! & I know you’re a mini truck guy… I learned to drive in my old mans ‘81 Toyota hilux 5sp. Still the most forgiving Gearbox I’ve ever driven to this day. You’re the man Mike!😎
All the gauges will work for the swap very easy to wire them up. 98 Camaro 3 pin temp sender, one wire goes to gauge, ls oil pressure sender cut sensor wire on ls harness and send it to the gauge wire, speedo output from ECM to the passenger side under dash wire in the truck coming from the DRAC module.
2010 entire cooling module for the 10,000 cfm fans and the correct ls rad ,and it will accept all of the newer gmt800 and gmt900 seats are bolt in swaps 21+ with a kit will fit too but if you are building it im sure it will be great even if it isn't dual buckets for all the married men who want momma to get a little closer 😂
Cant wait to see this awesome ride and hang with you and the Bling crew! I am sooooo looking forward to this. I cant tell ya how cool this is, how excited I am, and what this means to me. Thought I would NEVER get to the SEMA show and definitely didnt think I would ever get to drive a super car. VERY much appreciated! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Def. keep the stock hood.... NO COWL HOOD!!! This things gonna be killer... I just picked up a '98 Silverado W/T with a blown up 4.3 with 102k miles... Looks like yours but not in as good of condition... So i'm diggin' this build... :)
Hitting the concrete planter at the track had to be able to make the car better than ever since it had been so bent but I can't wait until the caddy is done so it can win drag week and he'll be in the same class of ppl as rod savory and Larry Larson to win in multiple vehicles ! Finnegan for president 🎉
On hood refitment, drill holes thru the hinges into the hood to line it up again( stolen from hot rod magazine years ago). And screw the bolts back into the hood ( or what ever else you’re working on and don’t want to lose the bolts)
I’m glade you are going with a PDS blower, I was kinda bummed when I seen that intake and sandwich cooler on there thinking you were putting a centrifugal style supercharger on it. Not that centrifugal blowers aren’t cool, I just think PDS blowers cooler and make better noises without having to always listen to a bunch of ideal racket!
The 6L90 is what came in my 2013 chevy 2500hd with the 6.0l. Ive put 250k on my truck and it still shifts like it did when i got it. I could just imagine what a stage 4 built one will do! 👌💪🇺🇲
Maybe from Dakota digital you can find one for the gmc. And maybe the dude from YEAH BUDDY GARAGE hé has a sick obs chevy pick-up dually. And that one has a very nice oem looking gauge cluster.
I am doing the same thing you are doing to the same truck and actually the same color but a C-2500 and a SBC 350 that is turbocharged and 5-speed. The motor has billet main caps w/ balanced rotating assembly and big flow aluminum heads with smaller chambers. Run's all the factory computer and gauges so the gauges all work and the ECM is tunable via the EBL Flash II's USB port that is added to the factory computer!
Better for the hood fitment. Drill a couple small holes through the hinge into the hood and tap them or run a sheetmetal screw into them. It will realign perfectly. Self tappers work but they can be shitty and snap.
What did you do to the '55! I know you wanted to go faster but the straight axle was part of what makes the car iconic. Still a cool car but without the straight axle but . . . well it's just not the cool gasser it was.
I love the TBI in my old suburban. Simple system. Easy to fix. Very rarely do I ever have a problem. Usually it's the ignition module because GM. That's about it. I realize this truck had the first gen vortec, but still..
I really wonder how much actual work this fuggin guy really does, also always gotta love the whole (watch me buy all this sh!t to have put on this truck) 😂
Hay Finnegan! My gpa bought this same truck brand new in 96 well 97 really it was the only truck leftover on the lot. (Pops a frugal man). His truck now has over 225zxx Man if anyone deserved a sweet low mile motor it would be my pops! You don't need that ol 4.3 please 😢
Following this one. Not that I have an OBS, or $25k for an engine, or $7k for a transmission, but still, this is inspiring me to get out and wrench on my junk (car...not the "other" junk).
I have a 1998 gmc sonoma that stopped running out of nowhere. I've replaced the distributor plugs wires and map sensor and cleaned the spider injectors. This was my dream truck, and I can't figure out why it won't start. It has great spark fuel and compression. The codes only say o2 sensors and misfires beforeIdid all that work. I don't know what the codes say now.That drive train would be nice, but no money, anyway. I love your videos. Keep up the great work.
I have my uncle that has a 78 k20 that needs a motor and trans. I had a 77 k20 my dad gave to me when I was 19 that unfortunately I sold due to being an alcoholic and losing everything but my family. I have now been sober for 10+ years and my uncle gave me the truck so someday I could restore like my fathers truck. The truck is just sitting waiting to be restored just can’t afford right due recently having major back surgery 2/14/24 so my plans are still to restore it someday hopefully. I watch all your videos and would be freaking awesome to say I have Finnagens engine and trans in my 78 k20 project. 😊
Foam block out of a couch cushion on the roof of the vehicle works great as a place to store the hood. The foam won’t slide and the thickness keeps the painted parts far away from one another.
The starter situation and the entire time you guys took to remove the engine and front clip made me wanna jump in and help I just changed an engine in one of these trucks in 8 hours (waiting for parts)
Finnegan, I'm curious to know of the numerous LS swap headers for the GMT400. For 2wd, Hedman, and schoenfeld is the only long tube manufacturer. No stainless options. The link to the long block actually brings you to the short block.
Pick me up for SEMA. You won’t need to pay for a hotel or travel since I’m here and I’ll take you to my favorite steak house, complete with sketchy back alley behind the bar 😂
I wish your merch was included in that Bling Sauce contest, because I would rather support you than just another detail product. I don’t dislike them or their products or anything. I would rather order a shirt, a hoodie, or a hat from Finigans Garage anytime. Something I could use every day.
Hard to believe these trucks came with the V6. Had a 93 with a 4.3 in it. It’s pretty rare to find these OBS trucks that’s as clean as this one with that low mileage.
Quick jacks are the best things to have if you dont have space for a real lift. I use them on my 03 Silverado and pulled the trans out many times. The only thing is you cant get the trans out on the trans jack cause the lift doesnt go high enough. Just slide it off

Working on clean trucks / cars is a different level of appreciation.
It must be nice lol . I can not get away from starting with rust buckets lol
Joe, GOD bless you. I felt your pain crawling around the engine hoist under the truck from my recliner while watching this
I still can't get over that you found such a low mileage work truck in such exceptional like new condition! Loving the build!!
Glad to see the OBS back on the channel
Those obs trucks are a beauty. Kinda like a streamlined box body. Truck in great shape
When you remove a hood on this style of truck you just have to remove lh and rh cowl covers. The hinge bolt and nut is accessible. Remove spring bolt at hood plate and remove pivot bolt for hood. When you reinstall hood it is still lined up, as long that you reassemble the fenders in original place.
It's cool that regardless of the value of the parts being put to use, it's all still bolt-on, showing how far something could be taken without needing to invest in fab tooling or have the know-how for fab work.
When I remove a hood or another body panels I drill 1/8th holes near the mounting bolts
Then use rivets or drill bits for alignment during reassemble to align the part
The holes are invisible when the hood is closed or door or trunk or fender
Works pissa and don't need extra help if you're alone
I commented that, I use Cleco Pins.
Good tip! Just call 'em "speed holes".😂
This build is pretty cool. It's great that you're doing from the stand point of being a bolt on build.
Oh yes, the intercooler/burnout video is so rad.
That's a awesome looking truck and that big Ole motor is going to be great. Can't wait to see the finished product
That is going to be one awesome truck!! It started out great and is only getting better!
I was going to take a break today but watching this video got me itching to go back out and work on the car.. its hot, its humid, its outside and in the sun but I am still going to wrench for a couple hours at least. Currently working on pulling the stock exhaust to put a 3" turbo back, boost gauge, AEM Wideband, Boost controller, some smog deletes and replace a few bushing on my 87 Conquest.
Pretty kewl so far. I ls swapped a lq4 into a 94 s10 SS. That was a tight fit used a kit that had several different manufacturers components.
Man!, that truck is like a brand new one, even the chassis!
Thanks Mike, at 71 it's too late for me but through you and Joe I can keep my dream alive........ kind of... it's interesting it's understandable, it's a good time and actually fun... Let the good times roll✌

Full blown grandpa spec. All it needs now is a two tone spray job.
@@ToeJammer-ge2zs I need me a two tone.

That Bling stuff is really good stuff. I got the free 3 piece sample kit shipped also free and love the stuff. 😊
Nice!!! I am doing a Ls3/6L90E going into a 03'Crown Vic Police Interceptor.
I bought a pair of QuickJacks 3 years ago and it is some of the best money I've ever spent!
I drill two 1/8 in holes on each side and use Cleco Pins for lining hood hinges back up.

It’s crazy that everything you guys are tearing apart, has probably never been touched since that truck left the factory
Looking forward to this awsum build.💯👍
I bet Tony would have loved that drivetrain for his syclone.

Did I miss the episode where you explain where Joe came from? Seems like a very humble and genuine guy.
Ya, I may have missed it too, seems like he just appeared. I like him. Not the typical RUclipsr energy. I mean that as a compliment.
I believe he's an old friend from California. They used to do a lot of boat racing stuff together

Awesome episode 👏🏾
Such a clean truck to build, going to be sick when all done!
11:40 when the AB drops, that BOLT will be there. (colorized speech of GM's CEO during the meeting).
For hood alignment, rather than using a scribe or marker that won't come off, use painters tape.
I was just checking th TV listings channel. PBS is showing a miniseries called "Roadkill on Masterpiece." How to to and very very. 😂

Truck in going to be sweet
Hard to believe these trucks came with the V6. Had a 93 with a 4.3 in it.
It’s pretty rare to find these OBS trucks that’s as clean as this one with that low mileage.
To me, this is like a "Mini Muscle Truck" but with more expensive bits on it. 😁
This thing makes more power then all 3 muscle trucks combined
Lol , the positions you get in when trying to fix or remove a part..lolol
So much for the budget build
Also, a NNBS 07.5-13 Silverado radiator will work as well with little to no mods. It’ll have trans and engine cooler integral then.
Thanks for sharing.
Quick jacks are the best things to have if you dont have space for a real lift. I use them on my 03 Silverado and pulled the trans out many times. The only thing is you cant get the trans out on the trans jack cause the lift doesnt go high enough. Just slide it off
"Hurry! We gotta go to SEMA! Pretend it runs" 😂
As for. The power train. Currently only use i have for it would be reviving a cavalier racecar on rwd chassis, possibly a burnout car.
Last years winners seemed like great guys.
