Thank you. This project could have been done a lot cheaper if you did it yourself. Paint and body were about 12k. Labor on my end was about 9k and engine, transmission, and miscellaneous parts/supplies about 11k. Around 32k for the whole project.
@@jonnyboyautomotive Would love to learn more about how to do engine swaps and stay smog compatible. Are you aware of any resources on the basics/fundamentals?
@ViceChief Engine Changes Engine changes are legal as long as the following requirements are met to ensure that the change does not increase pollution from the vehicle: The engine must be the same year or newer than the vehicle. The engine must be from the same type of vehicle (passenger car, light-duty truck, heavy-duty truck, etc.) based on gross vehicle weight. If the vehicle is a California certified vehicle, then the engine must also be a California certified engine. All emissions control equipment must remain on the installed engine. After an engine change, vehicles must first be inspected by a state referee station. The vehicle will be inspected to ensure that all the equipment required is in place, and vehicle will be emissions tested subject to the specifications of the installed engine. " In the case for this pickup, the 4.3 vortec came from a light duty pickup from a later model vehicle. I just had to take special care in ensuring I was able to track down and install all the original emissions equipment for example charcoal canister, egr valve, etc...
The songs are actually me. I recorded them back in high school and when I made this video I wasn't sure where to get copyright free music. So I used music off my old album.
