Great video and advice but your asking a shop owner and of course he is gonna reccommend every high dollar option……if youve got $15k to blow go ahead and get new EVERYTHING!!!!……ive used factory tanks and wiring with stand alone ecu’s harness on many swaps with zero issues……..this guy reccommends breaking out the checkbook cause thats how he feeds his family……..research reasearch and more research and do it yourself…..its not hard guys
I just got done with a LsSwap 6.0 /80e and you pay for what you want if not do it your self to cutt cost I spent 7k and it's looks awesome and runs good ..!!
Exactly of course his gonna try to brain wash your head about going with a brand new parts for your vehicle not only for the owner shop to make the most bucks but it's the easy way for the owner to save time and headaches right. So this is for the person like me that likes to saves money plus I like to do this type of hobby well DO IT YOUR SELF AND THEN SAVE SOME REAL MONEY by staying AWAY from shops like this ones
Like it or not the LS swap is the new small block Chevy swap that saves a lot of junk cars. I love old school motors because of budget but the LS engines IMHO is the best Chevy motors ever built. Stupid power and good mileage even with 4.8 but they are definitely not cheap.
No replacement for displacement Also don't matter what engine if you're heavy on the gas pedal fuel economy disappears if that's what you want get a 4 cylinder
I wanna thank you for this video. Just browsing some videos working on my swap and this guys shop is 5 minutes from me. Gonna be reaching out to him now
I'm finding a lot of things in this video suspect. The rarity of a LS1 or LS2 makes them expensive! Then buying a brand new Dart block? This is not LS swapping on cheap at all.
I do g20 G30 swaps. I use stock manifolds right side needs to clear the frame my exhaust guy cuts the flange and rewelds it to make it clear. Stock manifolds like most GM parts will run 1000hp flow is actually better than headers too.
See all of that stuff sounds good. But they forget in the aspect of the money part . Now, I know somebody gonna try to come behind me and say something negative. But all these parts he’s talking about or a couple thousand dollars a piece. This stuff is a cheap, I went to try to take my gbody to a shop like that after I put a brand new motor in fresh out the box from Summit. And they tried to hit me with a whole new ignition system and fuel system that was going to cost the same price if not more than the actual motor is self . At the end of the day with shops like that, if you don’t have a extra 20 to 30 grand, to put into your old school you just wasting your time having a conversation with them folks..
H look w can you compare a price from a good decent engine from a junk yard for 1200 bucks complete to a Dart BLOCK ONLY FOR 4K thats disgusting and thats what you call BUDGET wow that's some good opinion FOR YOU SHOP OWNER'S right
@charlieb308 if you are getting 5mpg you're either not mechanically inclined or they are just stupid and probably shouldn't be messing with cars in general
If you don’t know what a dart block is you should be making car videos.. when you said I don’t know what a dart block is you lost all of your credibility with that man
