On todays video I will be showing you how you can swap your 3 gen Camaro for under a $1000, this only works if you have alot of the factory parts already still in t he car, like your factory transmission and radiator as that will save you a lot of the cost.
As you will see in the video by shopping around and getting a complete motor you can save you tons of money and time, you can save even more money by making your own wiring harness out of the factory ls wiring,.
You can also save money by using the truck oil pan and pick up tube and just having them cut down and welded back, you can use universal ls swap engine mounts and you can even use the factory ls flywheel with some mods.
Your factory LS engine computer will need vatts took off but should not cost no more than $150
If you have most of the parts for your car besides a engine they no reason you cant do this LS swap on your Camaro for under a $1000

Great build man, I've got pretty much the same setup but with the 6.0L GMC Denali XL engine. I used the factory passenger side truck exhaust manifold and a factory driver's side exhaust manifold from a 2001 V8 Camaro engine. I've added a 150hp nitrous kit and promptly broke the TH400 slip yoke. Replaced the slip yoke and it also broke. I ended up discovering that a 4L80E slip yoke is much beefier and it fits the TH400. It does require a specific universal joint to mate to the drive shaft, but so far, so good.
@megatonesilva6546
@megatonesilva6546 Год назад
Also, not mentioned in your video.......there will be a bracket needed to attach onto the TH400 transmission which is necessary to secure the (axle) torque arm.

If you used motor mounts like I did, then u use clam shells attached to them, they two dif clamshells from factory, a taller set by about a half inch and a shorter set, this car has the what we call car set of clam shells on it which lets it set a bit lower, but GM tossed the mounts in anything with a sbc lol I seen factory cars with the taller mounts

I just don't see the point in doing an LS Swap in a ThirdGen unless you're going to do it right. I suppose if it's the ONLY car you have and the motor in it is blown and you just need something to drive then sure I guess doing it this way is fine. However, I personally feel like if you're going to do an LS swap into a Thirdgen you should at least do a top-end rebuild with new springs, valves, lifters and camshaft. Also, for the love of god don't use the piece of shit 700R4 transmission. Even a used 4L60E or 4L80E from a Pick-N-Pull is going to be more reliable than the 700R4.
