V6 To V8 Engine Mount Swap Gbody 1981 El Camino | The Meano Camino 

🤣😂 we try man lol we try!

😂🤣😂 🙏🏻

Sweet!!We have everything we’ve done step by step on our channel! I’m pretty sure we have a playlist too so you don’t have to go looking for it! Here it is - ru-vid.com/group/PLmyvclsHVHJpuK44dacKYkMSfsVFj6dLw

Heck yeah!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻

What do you mean linkage? Like throttle and kick down linkage?

@@theroygarage the column shift linkage

@@evanparscale7837 that goes to the transmission so we didn’t have to touch it 🙏🏻

One has the engine mount for the frame and the other box has the engine mount that bolts up to our engine block

@@theroygarage oh ok gotcha and thanks for this video. It’ll definitely be my guide to getting them off😩😩😩😂😂😂

@@papergatorzfedducca7998 you are welcome man! 🙏🏻

Where did you get the engine mount from??

Nice! Does it have a V8 in it right now?

@@theroygarage PRODEMAND says it’s a 3.8. I’ll know in 2 weeks when I pull it back to the city I live in now. I bought it in my hometown but I no longer live there.

@@papergatorzfedducca7998 okay, I think that’s a V6 so I believe you’ll need to change the engine mounts just like in this video and use LS adaptor plates

@@theroygarage yes and it don’t look fun at all😬😬😬😂😂😂

@@papergatorzfedducca7998 🤣😂 it’s a little tough but some people have drilled holes in the frame to make is easier and on my dad’s el Camino there is a slit on the back of the engine crossmember that someone plasma cut to make it easier to get to the bolts 🤣😂 you could grind of the bolts too if you wanted - we wanted to reuse them so that’s why we did what we did 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

Shoot… already sold it… does it run?? A good video to watch would be tearing down a Chevy 350 - this is a good video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LZO1fWVxN4c.html it would be generally the same concept. Buy some red solo cups and a market to keep track of all your nuts and bolts

It did run but I just decided to rebuild it so I could get more out of it. It’s currently sitting in my g body almost bare block fixing to be pulled

@@panheadforever9728 nice, are you planning on upgrading any parts or just clean it up and put it back together?

Probably gonna have it bored 30 and maybe a little bit bigger cam

I got some from summit racing - I’ll link below BUT I’d had to do a bunch of work to them and my shift linkage to get them to fit… I would not recommend 😅 Here is the video of us bending them to fit - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KsT_L5W_23U.html AND here is a video of everything else I needed to do to get them to fit - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ja51PrHKHdo.html My dad got some shorty headers that worked way better then what I had to do to get my long tubes to fit 🤷🏼‍♂️ Check out this page from Summit Racing www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-69440

This is a SBC - I believe they are the same
