That crossmember is really going to help out your exhaust guys 😁

[@johngray4107]

Just wandering what headers you went with? Thanks....Very good videos. Just starting the swap on my 65.

[@arkansasjon2171]

Both of my trucks i have used the Speed Engineering LS Swap shorty headers, you can find them here: speed-engineering.com/collections/universal-ls-lt-swap-parts-exhaust/products/speed-engineering-ls-swap-shorty-headers-camaro-chevelle-nova-c10-k10-obs-truck

Did you still have to run a wire from the alternator to the starter?

[@arkansasjon2171]

@@Hotrodding I just use the stock power block from the LS motor with the red plastic cover and the stock cable that comes from the starter to that post and then chop it off right after the lug where it continues to the factory under-hood fuse box. If you don’t have the factory cable, you will have to tie the alternator and starter back to the battery. But no voltage regulator is required with the LS alternator

@@arkansasjon2171 ok thanks alot.

What are those from I need a set of 6 lug wheels

[@arkansasjon2171]

@@briangoudreau5793 I’m not positive but I think they are off a work truck or express van, the guy I got them from never mentioned what they were off

[@heathhylton4746]

Does that transmission crossmember work with the transmission that comes with LS motor?

[@arkansasjon2171]

@@heathhylton4746 yes, you will either need to buy a new pad or re-use your old mounting pad. It lines up with one bolt hole on each side for me and I just had to drill an additional hole on each side, but the holes on the crossmember are slotted and give plenty of room for location

[@heathhylton4746]

@@arkansasjon2171 I appreciate it! I wanted to make sure because on the Amazon page for the crossmember, it only said that TH350, TH400 and 700R4 transmissions work with it. I didn’t see anything about any other transmissions.

[@arkansasjon2171]

@@heathhylton4746 I can confirm it works just fine with 4L60E. They basically use all the same mounting stuff so you should be good. It’s a nice and cheap crossmember.

[@heathhylton4746]

@@arkansasjon2171 I believe you. I knew that the 700R4 and the 4L60E were very similar but the 4L60E is an upgrade to the 700R4. I’m restoring a 70 C10 and I am buying LS 5.3 and your video is very informative and it helps direct me in the right path to achieve the LS swap in a more affordable way! I appreciate it!

@@heathhylton4746 that’s great! I don’t get a lot of views but I appreciate helping anyone I can, I learn most of what I know through watching others videos as well, KZbin is a wonderful resource for all of us. Thank you for the comments!
