How to LS Swap your S10 | Ep.3 Notching Frame & Mounting Motor 

Thanks guy! Haha it works

Really!? Thats good to know! Thanks guy

I was using a hobart 140amp and had it set to 5 on power and a 4 or 5 for wire feed speed

@@southerngearz Thank you! Also I’m loving the content! I’m in the process of LS swapping a 99 S10 myself so your videos really help!

@@Staradder45 awesome we need more out on the road! Just hit me up if you got questions thats what im here for.

You will need to weld it. If you dont it will be a weak point and at some point fail

That sounds nice one day I am going to do something similar.

Just some cheap ones off ebay

@@southerngearz gotcha. I was debating going with that style or using factory style. Any pro/cons you thought of? It’s a motor mount so I’m not trying to dig too deep into it haha

@@danhoy8356 i really havent had any issues with them even when I installed my longtube headers( they "required" certain mounts). The hood still closes and no other fitment issues at all.

@@southerngearz nice. Thanks man. I enjoy your build

Thanks guy

Yea they say there is a oil pan that needs no notching. The hummer h3 oil i believe

It cost $400. I only found 2 oil pans for my application since I have 4x4.

I had heard that but I had heard it can be difficult to drop the trans alone. Do you have any issues?

4l80e in mine it’s pretty tight had to beat in floor some bell housing bolts are a pain to

@@seagate40 yea thats why I havent gone 4l80e yet but its just a matter or time before the 4l60e grenades.

Sorry I will see what I can do

I put a new one up and I was able to click it. Hopefully it works this time.
