G Body LS Swap - What I learned and what I'd do differently. 

thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed and that it is helpful. I love how the car turned out, but I also learned a lot.

Thanks very much for the kind comments and welcome to the channel. This car was my first car. I've had it 25 years. They're good fun.

hopefully it helped. There's a bunch of videos documenting the whole swap on this car and on my 57 truck, check them out and maybe they'll help you. Good luck with your project.

Thanks very much. Lots of hard work to get this stuff.

Anyone can do it, lots to learn along the way. I tried to document as much as I could in my videos.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. I will likely have more on this car. I'm very happy with the results.

thanks very much and I'm glad you enjoyed.

Agreed 100%. I think I'm at 25 years with this one. I'm still enjoying it. You're right, nothing is ever finished. Thanks for watching.

If you're after LS swap information, also check out the videos on my '57 Chevy truck that I swapped last year and I did a video comparing the two. I will be doing an LS swap on my '55 project this year as well.

thank you

You can do it, no problem. I have videos of the whole process. Also the LS swap on my 57 truck could help you. Any questions, just comment and I'll help if I can. Best of luck!!

Thank you so much. It's guys like you and others on RU-vid that make it possible for all of us to be able to take on projects like this. Thanks for the video. I've been a subscriber!

@kingartsprojects4150 it's folks like you that make me want to keep showing what I'm doing. I'm glad you're inspired. There's so many on RU-vid and in life that inspire me. Keep wrenching!

@SlowCarFix Yes Sir, Thanks!

Thanks very much!

thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed.

thanks very much. it's kinetic blue from a 2010 Camaro

Thanks very much, welcome. I hope you enjoy.

Glad you enjoyed the video. I learned a lot doing this swap and will be better informed for the next one.

Tight squeeze? People run big blocks in these cars.

Hey, thanks! They're 15x8 in the back and 275/60. I'm not sure you can run 295 unless you're narrowing the frame. 275 is really pushing it for my car. Thanks for watching.

275 60 15 rear and 205 60 15 front. stock would have been a 14 inch wheel.

Thanks for subscribing. Check out the LS Swap on my 57 truck as well, it might help. I think the 6 speed would require a fair bit of tunnel mod. I believe they are quite a bit bigger than the 4L80. The 4L80 required a little tweaking of my new floor pan to fit. Best of luck!

Use the six speed.

Thanks 👍

All new stock AC Delco springs and shocks all the way around. This engine is all aluminum, so it's probably lighter than the 350 that I had in it last.

There's a lot of variables. Are you doing drive by cable or drive by wire? If it's drive by wire, then you will need to install a wired pedal. With the TCC you won't need the brake pedal switch wiring. You will also need to mount the OBD2 port somewhere, and get it power, but that can be under the hood if you chose. Hope this helps.

@@SlowCarFix I will do drive by cable . And I will use standalone harness did the fuse box come with it and . Thanks a lot

@@ibrahim-chevelleMalibuman Glad to help.

I had a drive shaft made. My original drive shaft was long gone.

This has a GM performance LS Swap pan, which is shorter than a stock truck pan. It's still not short enough. There are others available that would have been a better choice. On my 57 truck, I use a Top street performance brand pan and it has much lower profile. I know I can change the to a lower intake, lots of options, but as soon as the throttle body moves lower, it gets into the front accessory drive. So, changing the intake manifold also means changing all the front accessories. It becomes expensive in a hurry. It all works and I have about 10k miles on the swap now, but if I had my time back, and was doing it again, I would have had a different pan and different intake and front drive. Thanks for watching.. 👍

@@SlowCarFix ahhh okay okay I know what you mean I had to change mines understandable and your welcome I watch most of your content

@kanairsforte5298 that's great! Glad to hear. I did a video a while ago where I compared this swap to my 57 swap. You might find that one interesting. It's 6.0 and I did things a little different.

@@SlowCarFix I’m actually watch that now cause I have a 5.3 vortex that I put in a Monte Carlo I been learning off your videos

It's just a cam from Summit. Stage 2 I believe.

Same as what I did except, buy your trans crossmember instead of building. Also, use the stock manifolds instead of headers. Use a top street performance oil pan, and personally I prefer drive by wire throttle. Good luck!

Both actually, check out my other videos. I cover in detail everything I did for the fuel system.

It's not as easy as that. When you change the intake, the throttle body points down and you have to change all the front accessories for clearance. It works great as it is, just tight for clearance to the hood. I have about 10000 miles on it since putting it together.

How did I buy my cars? A ton of hard work, long hours and lots of time traded for money. Are they for sale? None of my cars are for sale.

Ok thanks was asking if it's for sale....an yes I know I ofto put in hard work bro 💪 💯

@@aachannelitsabouttruenatur6026 I wasn't sure which you were asking so I answered both. I've owned the car for 25 years. My kid will get it when I'm gone. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you like the car.

Woohoo!

275 60 15

I posted a video about a week ago. I'm on a road trip right now with the Malibu. 5000km so far, no issues. Another 4-5000km to go. Thanks for asking.

What shirt is it?? Don't make me watch my own video to find out.

@@SlowCarFix it's the trump shirt... you'd be better off bear chested😅😅😅

I have a 83 Malibu I live in California they probably won't let me LS SWAP MY SHIT.....

Smog regulations and all

@@phuryusstylesphuryustyles2273 I'm pretty sure I wouldn't wear a Trump shirt under any circumstance. I'm Canadian and in Canada, I could care less about US politics. I care about cars.

Why? Less power, less efficient than an LS, and much heavier.

Different feel

@@mannycarinha770 to each their own. As long as you're enjoying it, that's all that matters.

Yes 👍 absolutely thank you 👍🇺🇸❤️
