[@dzaperez85]

i’ve seen a bunch of videos and this is the most well explained Thanks!!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks for the feedback

[@alexchavez8358]

you can get a valley pan with a oil cap on it. So you can fill your truck with oil there.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I saw some of those after I got mine. I have the four port steam lines and they block it. Good to know for the future though. Thanks for letting me know!

[@sammyarmstrong2098]

Good gosh! I did LS swap 3 years ago on my 61 Apache. I would have loved having your videos & knowledge to refer to. I put an 84 C10 front clip on with 5.3LS, 4l60E, stage 4 cam, 3200 Torque Converter, 3.73 gears, a/c, power steering on the factory X- Frame. I love how she glides down the road. Very nice way to cruise. Take Care! Keep em coming!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

This is my first one so I’m learning alot.

[@maccallan5603]

Did you use the 84 style motor mounts?

[@DadbrosGarage]

That is a beautiful set up you have there sir

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks!

[@shelbyadams9955]

Great video and look but until the oil fill is resolved better I’ll keep it original

[@SIMPLE.C10]

@@shelbyadams9955 thank you for the feedback! I changed to a valley cover oil filter which is way better.

[@motox766]

Great video once again!!!thank you

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks for watching.

[@chrisw9451]

Lokar sells a valley cover with an oil filler location that resembles the 1963 283 engine.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Yea I like that one too

[@FURDOG1961]

Awesome video!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks!

[@alleyesongod4784]

Awesome brother

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thank you!

[@onecleanplatinum8434]

Have you considered put heat wraps around the spark plug wires?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I did at first but the wires do not get hot so I didn’t. I liked the simple look of it.

[@fahadalhadi6789]

Any video on the intake setup i would love to see that

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Coming soon!

[@Str8fac3]

Great video! Could you add chapters for easier referencing?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I plan to have an LS Guide on my website to reference each video like on my air ride guide but I can add chapters if that would be helpful.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.

[@todd742]

Im looking at LS swap, but not a 20k price tag to get it done.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I have about 12k in this one but I installed it myself. If you’re not doing it yourself, plan to be in around 15k at least and have a basic engine. Every build is going to be different depending on the labor and parts you buy. You could buy a junk yard engine and get the bare necessities and do it yourself for maybe 6k.

[@nursecuenca]

Awesome video as always. How much vaccum can you get on a 350 small block, running a mild cam and headers on c10?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

No clue. Sorry. I don’t know much about engines.

[@nimblybimbly4002]

Is the cab maybe out of square? The clearance from the firewall to the valve covers looks very different from side to side.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

No. LS heads are in different positions. The driver side head is two inches forward compared to the passenger side. This is the factory design.

[@nimblybimbly4002]

@@SIMPLE.C10 Ok, good to know.

[@toto14101]

Where do I find the golden color motor mounts? I don’t know how they are called hahaha!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

@@toto14101 they are called dirty dingo engine mounts.

[@erod6380]

You recommend 1st gen or 5th gen coils? Also,what gasket did you use? Thanks in advance

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I don’t recommend one over the other. It’s thatever your harness has.

[@erod6380]

@@SIMPLE.C10 thank you!

[@67joe6767]

I have the same set up but with the dirty Dingo cradle, I am having the Holley valve cover height issues with the firewall. By any chance di you move the transmission and transfer case forward to help with clearance issues. I have a 70 K5 Blazer

[@SIMPLE.C10]

@@67joe6767 I used the v6 motor mounts on the forward hole

[@Tony-eg7jl]

will the dirty dingo bracket work on a lsa what im putiing in my 64 c10

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I’m not familiar with LsA but I believe they make the slider mount for all LS models.

[@toto14101]

Hello! How could I find the engine mounts that you use?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Search dirty dingo slider mounts for your year model. I got mine from az pro performance but many places offer them.

[@toto14101]

@@SIMPLE.C10 and the golden color ones? Thanks for the reply!!

Are you just using stock mounts with dirt dingo adjusters?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I’m using the stock inline 6 mounts that bolt in the front hole with the dirty dingo adjusters.

[@jasonspeas5089]

What shells did u use?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

What’s are you referring to? The valve covers? They are Holley.

[@seanlehtimaki9056]

Can I use the th350 trans on my c10 ls swap?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

You could with an adapter plate but I would recommend having a trans with an overdrive. It makes a huge difference.
