What NOT to do - LS Swap Engine Mount Part 1 - 51 Chevy Hot Rod Truck

Loading a 5.3L LS Engine from a 2002 Suburban into a 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Truck with a 1996 Chevy S10 Frame. I'll show how I installed the motor, then in Part 2 how I moved it backward.

My concern is when you cut a chunk out of the frame you should have used thicker steel when boxing the hole back in . Hope it does not crack and break.

[@TrentsOvertimeGarage]

Valid concern, thicker could be better, but we're at least replacing with equivalent thickness, if not slightly thicker.

Nice job getting it to fit, my guess is it probably takes 4 or 5 swaps to get things down, lol, at least you did it once already, like the fab work on the K member, your cheating with the plasma cutter, ha ha
