LS S10 swap part 2 

Check out my latest video. Truck has waaayyy more power now.

Think I've taken it to one car show. LOL Now it's getting a little more go with an LS7. Hoping for mid 10s. Thanks for watching!

The main thing I can say, is don't get in a hurry and don't short cut it. It's not hard but the devil is in the details.

@@finalcallracing OH im not. I have taken about a year on the engine build meow, and when i get home going to start on taking the old 2.2 out get it a paint job and looking spiffey, Or would you recommend fitting the engine in first so i can see whats going to have to be banged in for the tranny and then get it painted?

@@mavric79 I would definitely fit the engine. You will probably need to modify ft cross member a little for oil pan clearance.

@@finalcallracing I am running a t56 out of a 04 ctsv and have the tranny crossmember engine mounts and headers from current performance. with the oil pan as well

@@mavric79 Current performance mounts and H3 oil pan are what I am using, I had to slightly modify the front cross member.

Scooter Chase Thank you! I tried to not short cut anything. I took my time, and bought quality parts. The end result was worth it in my opinion.

It came on another s10 I bought from a buddy years ago.

I just got the hood back from paint shop yesterday. I installed it last night. But forgot to paint the latch. I had to get an engine in a car I bought to make some $$ on tonight. Should have video of finished hood Friday if all goes as planned. My summer has been crazy busy. Haven't taken as single car down the drag strip this year. YET! I have another Xtreme that I plan to do a detailed video on how to swap an ls into S-10. I want to take a weeks vacation to do it and stay on it till it's done, after it cools down. But I really need to hit 1,000 subs so I can get a few $$ for the video. I get a lot of ?'s regarding ls swap on this thing.

Daril Hosack Have not noticed it yet. I've only put about 1500 miles on it since finishing it. I will keep an eye on it and see if it loosens up.

I used Current Performance fans with their radiator.

Alondra Perez I agree! After I get the ls7 engine combo sorted I'll do it.

I had around that in mine. But it has ls7 in it now. Not really sure how much I've spent on it now.

It says Snug Top on it. Bought it used from a friend.

John Maxwell yes, I just used the vette filter with regulator. One line from filter to engine. Return line is on back side of filter.

There were only 5 wires from original pcm harness used. The original computer is gone. I used a computer from an ls1 car.

David Conley current performance motor mount. Stock trans mount. Home built headers

JC Primevil I just wanted a more powerful truck. it's not a daily driver by any means but could be. It gets 22 mpg on hwy. Tips are off a c6 corvette. The place I used to work was always throwing out Corvette mufflers when we would change exhaust, can't beat free.

Ricardo Ramos I have about 14 to 15k in mods. Building an ls7 for it right now. Hope to have it done in october

Travis Plumer yes

I'd get the truck engine for big power....go pull an lq9 from a 2500 express van, those bottoms are good to 1200+hp

and they only weighs 65- 85 lbs more than an aluminum block ls (2 racing seats over the factory seats would save that much weight)

Joe Dirt kind of is but not too bad. At least it last several years before changing. I can always jump start it and put it on my lift.

Yes, delete vats with HP tuners. Or if engine isn't crazy modified you can send ecm off and have it programmed.

Its a narrowed Ford 9 inch.

Never overheated. Current performance radiator, fan and shroud. I live in kc area. Never had a problem passing mvi.

+Joe blow ok.. yeah that's who I was going to order all my stuff from too. . just wasn't sure on the overheating if it was an issue or not. Jared is the master at these ls1 s10 swap parts as you know.

no, factory vette pulley

I had to grind the bump stop bracket flush with side of frame and plate it. Slight grinding needed on inside edge of the xtreme fender flare. Rear end is like 2 inches narrower than stock.

The original cost with ls1 was probably in the 7 grand range. I have no real idea what I have in it now with the ls7, 9 inch rear and other goodies. You can do cheapie build for probably 4 or 5 grand. I used current performance wiring for all the parts to make it work easily. Their stuff isnt exactly cheap but worth it to me. The s10 forum in the ls section made it easy to figure out how to navigate the swap.

I just bought one that came on ls powered vehicle.

I bought it through Current Performance Wiring.

Final Call Racing thanks man

John Maxwell No, I just run one. It's the same computer for most all gm ls engines with 24x reluctor.

Final Call Racing can i get your number to pick your brain for a min on your truck. You can email it to me or I can call you once I get an email. Chevyboy67@optonline.net

Send me a message with your number. I can't call till I get off of work. 5ish central time.

Final Call Racing gladly. 6315720228 John. Thanks I appreciate it

The best source of pre written and researched advice is on the LS s10 forum. www.s10forum.com/forum/f213/lsx-conversion-information-390967/ Look at the stickies. That is where I chose what route to go. You can go cheap junkyard stuff or the nice Current Performance parts and harness. I did the Current Performance route. They are by far the easiest but definitely not the cheapest.

I subbed and watched your videos ..... this is over my head ... do you want to build another one ? I have a list of wants and a good budget .

I can't build one for anyone else at this time or the near future. I do have another s10 I plan to ls swap for a true daily and when I do, it will be a step by step how to do it. Hopefully next summer or fall. I intended to do it this year but never got the time.

kris hood Current Performance Wiring mounts

ruben thomas I used a short section of factory line, rebent it so it would run down the right side of trans to the rear. Welded on -6 steel AN fitting to those short lines, then -6 braided stainless hose back to trans cooler with AN fittings.

Jc Diaz stock 4.3 cable works great.

Final Call Racing ok thanks you so much just running into what’s hopefully that last of the issues

Current performance poly mount

There are several routes to go. I took the easy route. I bought all the swap parts from Current performance except headers. Just little fab work here and there. With the purchase price of truck with blown engine and everything I have done I think I have around 16k in it. It can definitely be done for cheaper if you go to junkyard and source parts but I wanted a clean install that worked right the first time.

16k!! Dang...yeah I'm trying to do the junkyard part. Thanks though. 16k is what people pay for brand new, no offense to anyone, but worthless, overpriced mini vans (joking). So 16 sounds pretty doable. Thanks for helping me out🖒🖒

John Maxwell just took the evap stuff off. The evap canister line is my vent now.

Jody no inspection in most states

seth newman. I'm in Missouri also.. we have inspections here. Sharp truck for sure... I am building a fuel injected v8 ranger now. I've built so many s10's they are everywhere.

+Ryan Johnson looks like the current performance top mount unit

Jc Diaz yes

Scooter Chase engine harness is current performance wiring. only had to splice 4 wires. rest of truck is factory.

MOTO Freeks don't know the number but it's called victory red

Current Performance wiring

A buddy that abandoned his project sold it to me for a price I couldn't refuse.

Joe blow ah I see, that makes sense

Jon Brown jegs

all i can find is the non adjustable ones like this www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/631290/10002/-1

Jon Brown www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performance-Products/JEGS-Adjustable-Proportioning-Valve/755192/10002/-1

thanks beautiful truck.

Jc Diaz the c5 accessory drive with alt and ps pump is 19257325. Ac is from current performance wiring.

Scooter Chase current performance wiring. they are usually go by cpw wiring

Stacey Sparks its just cheap intake tubing and a filter. they're easy to make

thx

I bought a twin filter setup then bought some aluminum tubing same size as throttle body. I slightly smashed it oval to clear fans welded tubing to air filter setup and bought and 90 degree elbow and clamped it together.

Stacey Sparks those are 28x10.0 15 mickey sportsmans. It normally has 295/55/15 et street radial. Rear end is narrowed like 2 inches.

camaro is actually heavier. an s10 like this is about 31-3200lbs, camaro is 3400- 3600

I made them out of stainless bends.
