For anyone watching this video and trying to do the same. I did exactly what he did in the video and my starter would only spin not engage. I found a purple wire in connector x2 labeled starter solenoid crank voltage put 12v to that too and it will start
I would advise against leaving the water pump and cooling system off for run up. Without water in the system and circulating, you'd be amazed at how fast the heads heat up. It can quickly lead to damaged head gaskets, and soon after the heads and block. Yes, the engine will run without it. But temps can skyrocket in a hurry. You can have dangerous temps in well under a minute. Schools often will fire up the classroom engines that the students rebuilt without installing the cooling system. Those engines generally don't go back into daily driver status after. Leaving the cooling system off for run stand service should be reserved for demo and learning purposes. Otherwise I like most of the rest of the video. Especially your compressed air fuel system.
Found your channel in the midst of deciding which engine to swap into one of my spare cars, great breakdown and explanation. Great work man, thank you for taking the time to make this.
What headers are you running on there.? Was wondering do they fit 88 to 98. I have a 98 C1500 Chevy pickup that I'm LS swapping and I want long tubes like yours any info will help thank you so much
Good info! Many thanks. For those with a Gen IV E38 ECM (mine came from a 2010 Camaro SS), need to also connect an unswitched (hot always) 12v source to pin 20 (red/white wire) of the x1 ECM connector to power the ECM and give it memory. Also, disconnect pin 59 (yellow wire). With that wire connected, mine wouldn't stop running even after taking power away from the pink and pink/black wire, pins 19 and 47.
Great video.. did you have any issues talking to the transmission? My son needs a motor in his 93 yukon and we wanted to put in an LS. He has a new 4l60e and a stand alone TCM. Just didn’t know if it was cost effective
Don't know anything about the 6.2l. This was a 6.0l. I did have to get the VATS removed from the computer. That is part of the antithetical system that immobilizes the truck if you don't have the right keys.
GOD MUSTA BEEN WATCHIN OVER ME WHEN I WAS YOUNG. I rememebr changing carb in my truck and something was wrong, and it puked out gas all over the top of the engine. i kept working on it anyways. cant actually remeber if i succeeded just remeber all that gas everywhere and no sparks to ignite it, whew.
@@joat-man9778 not my Gen 4. Waiting for the ECM to come back. Just been prepping the car. Just decided to revisit this video. These things keep me inspired. And you did a great job.
Thank you for posting these! We vacationed at One More Time for years when I was in high school and college. I love seeing what you’ve done. It looks great! ❤️
Do you happen to know where I can get the wire diagram for the x109 plug and the fuse plug, I have a couple of wires left over and don't know what to do with them
