Look at the holley 302-2 pan or to save money, the summit LS swap pan is pretty much the same for less. They are shallower in the front. designed to clear inner tie rods on chevy muscle. The summit LS cast iron manifolds which are the same as the HOLLEY/HOOKER cast iron would have fit better than the headers. They are tight to the block and dump next to the bell housing. FYI.

Excellent swap guys well done what a beast. Ive just done a ls1 swap in my 97 space cab hilux as well and love it ide do it again. Down town aussie.

[@azspeedster5465]

Awesome video on your LS swap. I did the same thing on my 1991 Toyota pickup regular cab with 2 wheel drive. If you use a LS1 corvette water pump and pulleys, you can fit your electric fan behind the radiator for better cooling. I am using an aftermarket low profile rear sump oil pan for ground clearance and to clear the frame crossmember and sway bar. My 5.3 is hooked up to a 4L60e transmission and has been running great for the last couple of years. I used a LS1 low profile intake manifold to keep the original hood and have the sleeper stock pickup look. Enjoy your killer truck.

That yotar is making noises it ain’t supposed to and I love it 😂

I freaking love this channel.

Hell yeah brother!!!!

Nailed it again man! I love this content. Real world builds and they get used!

[@mikejensen-fogt4662]

Man, this is getting me all stoked about doing an LS swap on a 2nd gen sidekick. Ive wanted to do that for a while and im just waiting for the right candidate to come across Facebook marketplace lol

[@nemesis851_]

Oh “brother”, we goin’ on a ride today!!

[@nonenone1249]

Awesome, and He didn't even set His Shop on Fire on the First Start up! that thing is going to Rip if He ever Shifts it onto 2nd gear.

[@DirtGarage]

We have done so many swaps since that incident!

[@dlux132]

Thanks for the vid. I went for the LQ9 (aka 6.0 LS).Still working on some cooling issues and I did the SAS which needs a knuckle rotation. Why I did it I still don't know, but I love it. Just waiting to inevitably break something.

[@mikehoving6361]

Can’t wait til you get a 2post hoist. Cab off, endless room for activities 👍

[@kodyturchon3954]

So cool. Make sure u give us a follow up vid on the swap !

[@jaxonreeg8592]

How much did you have to beat the fire wall back? Or did you just leave it alone and it fit? im really curious because the 5.3 swap is what ive alwasy wanted to do, just seemed a little hard at first. Awesome swap, this video is giving me a lot of confidence i can do the same.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Sweet, and all without completely rebuilding it for your piece of mind lol

[@DirtGarage]

Nope, straight from the junkyard. Just the way we like it!

[@rkd350z]

loved this one!

[@BruceCookfmx]

Love it 🔥

[@jacepoulsen]

Can you guys add the link for the motor mounts? I’m sitting on an LS and just got a somewhat built 1984 toyota pickup in trade for a 2 door Cherokee I had and was gonna swap. So glad yall dropped this!! I’m gonna do it.

[@DirtGarage]

Link added to description, Thanks! Missed that one!

[@mikejensen-fogt4662]

What a unit! Yeah i bet that has more jam thsn the 3.0 lol

[@4xhoser]

Sick engine swap! I gottta ask why boyboy as a name haha 👌🤘🇨🇦

[@TheMrDarius]

I love this but am curious as to why not swap in the nv4500 with a transfercase as well?

[@sethvolkenand8372]

I’m wanting to do the same in my 94. What did you guys do for wiring? That’s the part that I’m not sure what route to go.

[@FarOutYotas]

Boy boy's 5.3 toyota build is freaking sick. Only real men add more pink to their truck.

[@carlosaleman1255]

What differential you guys have? I did 6.0 on my 79 but no burn tire like this one , sick 👍

Will that bellhousing work with a 6.0?

[@DirtGarage]

Yup!

[@adamj1337]

People GOTTA know.

[@Gentlemenrebel]

What did you do for intake tube and air filter? Looks like the maf is just bolted directly to the throttle body

[@DirtGarage]

For now that's how it was to do that test drive to get footage. It's gonna have a proper intake 🤣 Still needs a bunch of tidying to do really.

[@waynnr2951]

What drive shaft? Just put my 5.3 and factory 5 speed together just looking at the next step.

[@DirtGarage]

Custom

[@johnnybodangus2529]

No fuel pump upgrade? I thought ls need more pressure?

[@DirtGarage]

Nope, works great without an extra fuel. The Toyota is pretty high pressure. I've used stock 3.0 pump for years with my V8
