86 MONTE CARLOS SS: How much does it cost to LS Swap your car? 

How much for labor too put it in ?

@TonysEscorts about 5k, build was done 11yrs ago. Still running strong.

Man tell me about it. I can’t for Rat Nest to hit the streets. I been watching you bro💪🏾

Your Regal about to turn into a gremlin and eat the road up boss …. Post it when you get a chance

Preciate that. I’m thinking about doing a follow up video with all the other popular upgrades when doing a swap.

Big bro, I'm looking for a MCSS. I have a trailblazer ss with the 6.2L in it that I wanna use. What's your thoughts?

How much was your swap

@@henrywal Hey Henry, my swap overall was cheap. Like I mentioned, my motor and trans and anything I wanted off the loner truck was 700 total. I learned how to use pcmhammer and turnerpro which got me into the pcm and removed vats for free, as well as do a bunch of little things like set the proper rear end ratio, kill off check engine lights that was for stuff removed like the evap stuff and rear o2 sensors. I bought motor mounts and a trans mount from ebay, as well as headers. Those all were probably under 300 bucks. I bought 2.5 inch exhaust pipe from oreilies for 60 bucks and fab'ed my own dual exhaust. I bought a 20 dollar pcm from the junkyard to practice on tuning with and then sold it for 100 with vats removed. I reused everything and I mean everything. Spark plugs, hoses and belts, fitting from my old trans fit right into the new trans, so no new lines there. Stock radiator worked perfectly as well as the linkage for the shifter to the 4l60 trans. Drive shaft fit perfect too, since I didnt change the location of the engine. Fuel system was the bigger part. New tank, pump, sender and fuel lines was around 300 bucks. So 700 plus 300 plus 300 then add in 400 more for gaskets and fluids. Thats 1700, but then subtract 700 for my old motor and trans I sold, and another 80 for the pcm I sold in profit. So around 1000 total. I drive the crap out of the truck now and use it like a work truck. It honestly got 20.8 mpg on the highway recently. I have the stock 2:73 rear gear and now with the overdrive tans this thing hardly spins rpms at all! Plus at low speeds and out of the hole its a rocket and I can roast that single tire for very long if I want to lol. The old motor and trans no way could do that. Took me two months of working on it everyday to do the swap. I took it on as a series of mini projects. The benefits I have over most people is that I have a heated garage with a lift, I know electronics and electrical well, and I work in IT for the last 20 years. Plus I've restored other cars before. So I could do everything on my own. My welding sucks but I can stick metal together.

What your baby look like...I got one too

Anything is possible, let’s get her done 💪🏾

that's good

I’d like to see it. What parts did you got with?

Send info

He'll yea

What did that include

So 3 k is cheapest?

@@kischillin5539 it can be done cheaper if you get a deal on your engine like going to the pick an pull scrap yard getting a full drivetrain with harness to reuse still intact pedal computer and all. Then I will say you can drop it in and have running for 2k but depends on drivetrain pricing and how much you want to do as far as a cam, turbo etc

I hear him perfectly fine

Fasho, as soon as get this paint sprayed and my wheels put on. 💨💨

Crazy ain’t it

Lokar is pronounced Low-car

Did I say Lock-Car? 🤔

Personally an old school 350 was never an option for me. I would say budget wise if you don’t want to spend a lot go with the 350. Unless you’re doing it yourself to save on labor.

iRide Auto Spa off Cooper in Arlington. My connect is no longer there so I’m sure if they still doing swaps.

That’s what’s up. 🙌🏾

Where can I see pics of your swap?

I have the parts list with links in the description below the video.

That’s a good price 👍🏾

@@PENNYLS1 yea just stock install nothing major I got lucky and bought a motor and trans already rebuilt eventually I’ll change came heads and intake for better performance

Remember though his swap was done in 2016 some parts he used has gone way up in price and in today's market a 3500 MC is a roller in maybe ok condition

The car was not included in that price. That’s just parts and labor for the swap.

I used iRide Auto Spa in Arlington, but the guy I dealt with no longer owns the shop.

Passage Auto Transport. I can’t find the phone number but I think you can google them.

@@PENNYLS1 preciate that. I can take it from there 🤝

Had to pay taxes on the purchase price. Other than that, the title fee was I believe $35. It cost around $300 all in.

@@PENNYLS1 thanks for the reply! hopefully your channel gets some more recognition

It’s custom built. Didn’t use the stock one

What u need help with? I didn’t rebuild my engine, just had a shop out all new gaskets and seals.

@@PENNYLS1 I just got a LS 6.0 and I want to rebuild it and install and trying to figure out what it’s going to cost and what all I need to make it work.

You fasho got a steal. I have a 5.3 with a cam sitting in my garage. I got it for $200, it is what it is.

@@PENNYLS1 bro I'm in Michigan and they are plentiful here 5.3 and 6.0 more than 6.2 but they are here
