In this video we prep our LS swap for installation. Rear main seal, oil pan gasket, exhaust manifolds and set it into the c10 Warr Performance contact Joe @5593604242 Instagram : warr_performance #c10 #lsswap #squarebody
I have watched a few LS swap videos I will say the details of the three so far are awesome. I am getting ready to do one in my own truck so this helps tremendously and kinda makes it look easy 😊
Great video I am getting ready to put the 4.8 v8 from my 08 gmc into my 77 gmc square body what do you do for the gas pedal linkage or is that in your next video.
The rear main seal has to be centered on the crank, it doesn’t matter where everything else falls out. If it isn’t centered you will get to replace it down the road. Also put in an upgraded aluminum dogbone and oil pump pickup tube o-ring. That’s the shit that causes low oil pressure down the road. Cheap and easy insurance while you’re there! New oil pressure sending unit, crank position sensor are easy to change with engine out and are sources for oil leaks also. I hate oil leaks! Oh, drop in a new PCV valve to help protect that rear main seal from leaking....
Instant sub man. Love the tutorial. Easy to understand and you give the reasons why things are disassembled and reassembeled a certain way. Getting ready to do my first swap. the only thing that scares me is the wiring. Im color blind. lol
Thanks brotha, that could make it a little harder the reworked harness comes labeled every plug and wire. For the bulk head wiring on the truck you can use a diagram and identify the pin outs based on location in the bulkhead plug here’s a link if you want to check it out select year and engine compartment should show what you need forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?PHPSESSID=e1a661f34362f3766fc027528c281bdd&topic=11766.0
Info and links is in part 1 of the video series they are ls 2 bolt cast manifolds I believe they are made for Camaro I order them off eBay around 200 shipped
Hey Bro. Love the videos. Do you know if there are certain long tube headers that could be used in my squarebody without modification? Ive seen others that had to cut the frame or massage the heabers to make them fit.
Thanks for coming back brotha, None that we have tried worked without frame trimming or clearance issues that’s why we have been using the cast manifolds
Speed engineering long tubes fit great with Tejas engine mounts. They perform good, look nice-SS, and are $300. If you use Tejas mounts you can also keep the LS factory low mount AC compressor and keep the truck oil pan from hanging below the crossmember.
I’m new here did I see in your first video on this build that you used stock oil pan just new gaskets? I have an 84 2wd c10 and wanted to know if it would fit with stock oil pan
A little more cleaning on the motor would of been better I’m the type of person that when I do my swaps I try to get the motor super clean I take it almost all apart degreased it change all my gaskets I leave them looking almost new I’m a clean freak
I’ve been enjoying this series I have a question do you have to change the oil pan when LS swapping a c10 ?? Because the regular one it comes with hangs to low ??
@@bacfab9259 I ordered one and found a used pump/assembly locally. Going to swap out the stock pump with a Kemso 340. Do I need an inline regulator or is there a stock one on the rail?
