2020 V8 Colorado ! 

The truck is a 2020 with 5000 miles, the engine and transmission are LT based and both a 2020 with 32 miles when I bought them.

@@LHTPerformance VERY nice swap choice and it really came out nice and clean!

He’s done a couple corvettes for us. He’s a good tuner.

Dr. Tune 'em all, has mad skills...

@@LHTPerformance how much did this run you? Asking because i want to possibly do a lsa swap in the future.

We built something similar on my red GMC. Looking for a bolt on quick deal so we don’t have to build one. We have a couple of other builds that need attention

also the ford 5.0 Coyote on hwy is a reliable non guzzler for its size. i get 25-29 mpg. 5.3 is such a good engine also

I’m super happy with it now.

Yes, even with the heavy wheels and tires and 87 octane it’s peppy

Lol. He is.

You ever go over the Bay Side bridge ? It’s awful and bounces everything.

I drive north over it every day I work. I really like how it’s just 1/3 of it, then it smooths out completely.

@@bigfoot286 lol. Yea.

No cherry bombs for me. Lol.

@@LHTPerformance 😅

I have a 2016 Canyon with a manual transmission that was only available with a 4-cylinder engine. I couldn't hear the engine and had to look at the Tach to know when to shift. I replaced the stock muffler with a Cherrybomb Vortex and now it sounds more aggressive.

That would be funny.

Changing mufflers and cats are not going turn a V6 into a V8. Lol. Mufflers are sound suppression devices, depending on the position it will help change the frequency, often referred to as a resonator as it’s placement helps with low frequency known as resonance. A modern factory muffler isn’t too restrictive, nor is a cat. I have quite a bit of time under my belt doing this kind of thing.

@@LHTPerformance I agree with you that those simple changes won't turn a V6 into V8, but mufflers and cats ARE restrictive, especially if you're building the engine to make more top-end power. Not restrictive under normal low RPMs, but certainly at top. If you're running a V8 with the old V6 exhaust system, it certainly is restrictive now! The resonators cancel out certain frequencies without restricting exhaust flow. But it seemed to me by your video, you were asking for suggestions to make it SOUND better, and removing muffler certainly will, while picking up a couple horses. You commented on the flat torque curve, and much of that is because your smaller V6 pipes behind a v8 has more restriction at lower rpms (where an engine isn't pushing out as much air), causing more pressure for faster velocity (better exhaust scavenging). Better exhaust scavenging at lazy rpms equates to more torque. But it becomes too restrictive when the engine is pushing out massive quantities of air at high RPMs. With my engineering experience, I find you get the best of both worlds by removing restrictions for high rpm horsepower, but keeping high exhaust velocity possible for more low end torque by not going too big on the pipe, and keeping it as hot as possible.

Adjustable exhaust dump

Current Performance makes most of the parts needed.

That will drone bug time. We’ve been building exhausts for many years but trying avoid it because of time.

They purposely persuaded a 6 Speed as the 8 speed has issues.

A muffler and resonator are essentially the same thing, just different placement.

Some of the parts were sponsored. But I would think you could do it for around $12-14k . We don’t offer the swap, but you can get the parts to do it from the links in the description.

Appreciate it have a good source for the engine and trans?

@@jamesmegyesi9476 I found a seller on eBay.

If you do the work yourself I’m guessing around $8000-$9000

The problem is, no time to build one. Lol.

The second generation Colorado came with a 4 cylinder gas motor, a Diesel 4 cylinder and the V6 3,6L.

@@LHTPerformance Was it the first generation that came with a 5 cylinder?

@@Brock_Landers Yes. George had one. 3.5L.

You are partially correct... the end of the 1st gen (one with the 5cyl) you could get an optional V8, but it was the 5.3l. Kinda rare, but I'd love to have one! I have that engine in my Envoy XL (same platform, but SUV), and it scoots. BTW, the later of the 1st gen Colorados got bigger base and mid level engine's too. The 4cyl went from 2.8 to 2.9l if I remember correctly. The 5cyl became a 3.7l with about a 20hp bump and more (much needed) torque.

It’s has a 6 speed trans from the 2020 Silverado the motor was sourced from.

@@LHTPerformancestock transmission from the Colorado or is a Silverado bro?

@@xxkaiserxx2505 Silverado . Bro

With the stock wheels 250 whp and 230 tq.

@@LHTPerformance Thanks, I bet that extra 100 lb ft of torque really wakes it up. Nice build!

@@shiftmotorsports9803 It feels great, most of the tq is right off idle too.

We had some assistance with Sponsorships as mentioned in the video so I don’t have a total cost. This isn’t our regular work and don’t have plans to offer the service at this time.

You need to budget at least $10-12k (minus labor if not doing it yourself) for a swap plus costs if you decide to mod the motor. I'm still in the middle of my swap and that will be about my total with no mods.

It’s a 6 speed

@@LHTPerformance is there a build thread?

@@christopherhill6064 ru-vid.com/group/PLIIt5903IeLNd-sZPD9QoCbp5k6CtWvqj&si=uhOErkfnjCfK_TPc

This isn’t something we offer as a service, it maybe on option in the future.

Much of the parts list was sponsored. The engine and trans was $5200.

2020 Silverado motor and trans.

5.3 or 6.2?
