This guy's amazing he never gets his hands Dirty

[@fifty510]

Man I would love a swap like this in my 2 door tahoe!!!!

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Great video thanks for inspiration. I have a 98 twin to that truck sitting the back waiting for some time and love. I have a 4.8 laying around, maybe throw a Chinese turbo on it. Good on the owner for keeping it in that kind of shape and not having to deal with all the driver aids todays trucks come with.

[@RubberChicken10000]

One of my favorite engines put into one of my favorite trucks.

[@samshipley6940]

You guys do a very nice clean job.

[@socalinhouse]

ya'll did a damn good job on this video

[@jhnnylove8635]

how much does this swap cost??

[@bradb69]

Heyyyyyy just found me some local boys to help me with my swap. Be getting with y'all shortly

[@davidconley3610]

Man I loved this company! rip mark Campbell!

[@MiamiBomber]

Damn, i got a '96 same emerald green. I was in the process of converting the k1500 with 2500hd drivetrain till a resedential neighbor rear ended it...while parked...infront of my house...on my birthday. Cant make that shit up lol

[@MiamiBomber]

Selling it this week to become someone elses project...will definitely buy another in the future when the moneys right. Cat eyes 2500hd 408 build is next!

[@anubisgodofgods]

I just bought a 1990 Corvette ZR1 with the dual overhead cam, 32 valve LT5 engine designed by Lotus with only 74k on it. Car needs restoring because it sat for a while and was neglected but runs great. Thinking about pulling the motor and putting it in my 1997 C1500.

[@blackericdenice]

I rebuilt my stock 96 5.7 with 312,000 miles. I installed a comp 260h cam and love how i can now run down my friend 04 Crown Vic.

[@charlesgardner8068]

blackericdenice 😂😂😂 I got a built 5.3 in my tahoe and any STOCK ford can get it...

[@mrsnowmonster1379]

I would love to have one of these in my 96 Chevy Pickup.

[@adamm6837]

180k is high mileage on a 350? My 97 is pushing 300k and I don't think twice about going on a road trip with it.

[@choward874]

Mine has 330+k on her no smoke uses a bit of oil but still going strong but I'm getting ready to put an LS1 in it soon just needs more power.

[@brandonjay5146]

some heated seats would be a nice addition but great work im inspired

[@lotus_8773]

If you woulda said 4l80e trans going with it it would be perfect man! Other than that junker of a trans that I’ve had to rip out and rebuild over and over again that truck will be a monster! Nice build

[@diecastmodelhub]

I plan on doing the exact swap on my 94 GMC Sierra

[@BADAZZ93STANG]

awesome video. good job...

[@jazrosales2008]

Wish you guys were in Washington state. I plan to do this for my '99 Tahoe.

[@alpinesupra88]

They apparently have someone who doesn't know how to wire properly or tune properly. I did this swap to my 98 z71 truck and only use the LS computer. All factory gauges and abs work as they should using only the LS wiring, computer, tuning, and sensors ABSOLUTELY no need to run both computers on the truck.

[@danielpollock3816]

sean ellis could u give me info on this swap

[@edgarguerrero2545]

sean ellis can you give me ur contact info

[@omarlsx35]

On a 96 and up do you pull all the old engine harness from firewall?

[@canabox7112]

I would have thought as much

[@dharris7974]

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE ,, ANY WAY TO CONTACT YOU ,, THANKS .

[@KillaCamm]

Rip to that 4l60E

[@marcusvalle9434]

If it’s stock you don’t want a 4l80e super slow first gear

[@superhall229]

I have a 2001 chevy 2500 HD with the 6.0 that just turned 300,000 and have never put a wrench to it other than the normal wear and tear, water pump, alternator, and two fuel pumps. Still turning the original power steering pump. I hope it starts in the morning.....knock on wood.

[@xia9824]

did you change the transmition or what did you do because i wanna swap a 6.0 vortec in my 91 gmc sierra 2500 3 speed manual

[@javim9621]

i want that truck awsome color too

[@jacksmith3189]

Good information Thanks

[@tough2012]

Hey Guys did you have to use the Dakota Digital Gauge Decoder for this truck like you did the other Yukons and Chevy Tahoe LS swaps that you have done?

[@Mecanicwork]

super clean joob

[@frankiecamacho8775]

this is what I want to do for my 95

[@trevintaylorthe6_7veganttucke]

also need to know would I need that AC bracket for my swap as well???

[@relicaro21]

how is the transmission controlled? with the old VCM where does it get the signal from the engine.

[@jessemarin5044]

Where did you get the computer rebooted at and how much does that cost. Nice job,clean and efficient. I'm needing the same thing done for a 98 chevy 4x4. Lots of great info here.

[@rocheman3771]

Such a beautiful truck I wish mine looked like that

[@josecervantes9708]

Just bout a 2002 6.0 LQ4, what are some things I should do before I swap it into my 1996 chevy Silverado 5.7. Both on the stock engine and truck beforehand.

[@brenterwin8389]

so if you are running two computers is there another obd2 connector?

[@MKlemoff]

What air intake is that? I've got a 97' gmc 1500 with a 6.0 swap done. The guy who had it before me put an autozone intake on it.

[@gentilejoshsaved1646]

Good job

[@jonathanbugarin3888]

How did you hook up the gauges using the original wiring from the 5.7 harness

[@stevenhorsefield2909]

I did a 12v cummins swap in mine... way better then that gas hog 6.0L. I get 21 mpg highway and 18 in town. That's with 37 inch tires and 1 ton suspension.

[@danmartinez3390]

What's the part numbers for the ac compressor and AC lines and bracket? Fuel lines what did y'all use for that are you guys still using the factory fuel pump? Power steering hoses?

[@pedrosanchez-is7wg]

I did an ls swap on my 94 I went with a 4.8 but my cluster don't work how much for the adapters?

[@HWCapps]

The owner Mark has pasted away, I have been told company CLOSED , Please tell me I am wrong Loved your company and products !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jose20yera714]

Where can we get the harnesses and everything else that we need to perform this swap

[@rustyshackleford7265]

Must be nice living in southern states where vehicles dont rot out from under you like they do here in Canada

[@supie5063]

I'm pulling out a 6.0 out of a 2005 Chevy I'm going to put it in my 70 impala what else do I need to pull with the motor besides the computer and transmission for it to run in the impala. thanks

[@lawjo1978]

[@blackericdenice]

Why did you let it shift in to od?

[@salbenz28]

[@joshuamaldonado7348]

Alright alright alright

[@doneagan2094]

Would be great for my 98. I'm surprised you were able to use the original running gear.

[@coryjesperson9463]

What do you need to do to go from a 4.8 4l60 to a 6.0 4l80 in a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 rwd

Hello did you have to change the transmission by any chance?

[@MrHeadshot1982]

Nice swap what dose it coast for the motor.Keep up the good work.

[@tonheib.benson4771]

I wish your shop was close by because i want the same thing done to my 97 chevy suburban

[@tonheib.benson4771]

You need to do more in depth videos to show everything that's done

[@GarrettRC5thscaler]

Very Nice

[@mikecampbell9249]

Ls is a good motor bye far but thats alot of work for such an old rig what i want to do with my 97 tahoe is take a suburban chassis axles and 4l80e trans and transfer case and put into my 97 and then take the 5.7l vortec and punch some horse power and some torque in her, its still a great motor ,put some shorty headers and a high flow cats and you my friend will have a hot rod 4x4 !

[@jmh8743]

boy that intake looks good. Is that block iron or AL? Where R U located? nice looking installation.

[@garyking9496]

I have a 97 chevy Silverado and want to put in a 5.3 with the stock transmission how much would you charge me to make the same wiring harness that you put in that truck for mine ?

[@zxJC34xz]

Half a mil

[@countryboy4486]

What header are you using and do the hook to the factory y pipe

[@trevintaylorthe6_7veganttucke]

So is the engine stock? no modification of the cam, rockers, etc.? What would you say about a 5.3L going in the same yr truck? what would be the upside/downside to doing an aftermarket cam?

[@Thelegitrager]

Ya I'm sure they guy that got it thought the 340hp was enough for him

[@yourface3154]

I have the 5.3, its a great engine and strong running. Just not a ton of power, all in all I like it.

[@joshslade7361]

how bad do u think it would be to do a 6.2 in my 96 gmc z71

[@erikjp92]

what starter was used with that fle plate?

[@tedburkholder]

You guys are able to reprogram the computer of that truck? I would think the 6.0 would be running lean because the truck still thinks it has a 5.7. Correct?

[@rudycarrasco1505]

Would this be the same swapping a 2004 cadillac escalade 6.0 into a 1997 chevy silverado thanks

[@baura96]

i wanna do this to mine!

Where is y'all located at I got a 83 Buick Park Avenue I got a big block Chevy 454 bored 80 over I was thinking about going LS 600 block with 62 heads and pistons how much do y'all charge to do something like that

[@tylerrankin6791]

What is the hp to the wheel and how much did this swap cost

How much did it cost for everything in the end? Engine and swap and everything? Final bill? I really want to do this

[@broncoboy2157]

EngineBacon u can't afford it bro

[@h2bbuilt]

Bronco Boy Neither are they able to afford it cus now they are close

[@jbowen1831]

You could use junkyard parts and do it for prob less than 2k if you do your own work. I'm in the process of doing it right now and a 6.0 with a 4l80e cost me about 500 with harness.

[@h2bbuilt]

Nice

[@jordancaudill1259]

What is your website where I can get the wiring harness?

[@StreetRacingLifeStyle]

what flex plate and adapter did you need? i used a 5.3 for my trans and and i still have my 96 built 4l60e transmission its nice to know i can still use it!!

[@StreetRacingLifeStyle]

also how did you hook up your original tach? would yoi happen to know what i need to splice into to get my tach and speedometer working!?!

[@screcoveryco]

Wo WEEDMAN oW, the input shaft, torque converter and bellhousing are different. Swapping those parts would let you use all GM parts.

[@StreetRacingLifeStyle]

i appreciate it! unfortunately i have a 1 piece transmission with an interchangeable tailshaft!

[@michaelmcneal3793]

Good morning I was watching your video and I'm interested in the wiring harness system that you created for the 96 k 1500. I have a 1995 GMC full size suburban with a 5.7 the TBI I'm looking to upgrade it with a 60 can you tell me what type of wiring harness I will need and what it will cost for you guys to create one.

[@brandonjay5146]

factory drive shaft and rear end?

[@tom1994420]

My question is why run 2 ecms when the ls ecm can control the speedo and abs. No reason for 2 ecms

[@fabiangaribay4141]

Where did you get the harness?

[@charlieyoung2613]

What headers did use ? Any fitment issues?

[@arabcampers9554]

That engine roar like a lion , good job guys . can you make a video about how much it cost step by step .

[@1willubhave]

Would it of been better to overhaul the 350, put a mild cam, and stroke it...I know LS is the way to go, and some ideas for those that want to swap their engine. Also why don't he want to put it in OD?

[@6bt_str864]

I got a fourth gen GMC 2wd xcab-short and after looking into all the avenues it's waaaay easier to throw an LS swap Then do all that , time, $$, AND R.O.I. ESPECIALLY if you can score the 6.0 over the 5.3 ... Shit it's actually easier to swap it then do what ijyst got done doing which was just a clutch job - nv4500 , pilot bushing, and oil pan / rear main , ujoints. (but also i don't have access to a lift) Im Outback under the grandfather oak in cent FL. And this bitch is c-notched... Not fun. 👎

[@tomjoad8272]

LS swap it.. the ls swap has become hated a little because of how often people are doing it. But there's a reason why. They are great engines that make tons of power, reliable and simple. I like the old 5.7 vortec. I have it in mine and it has been great. But it's inferior to the ls in my opinion.
