Man youre one of the few people on here doing or showing a gen V LT swap. I was going LS in my newly acquired 88 Caprice but after reading and doing some research I def want to go l86 gen V lt. Did you have issues finding swap parts? Im not doing it myself but I am ordering parts to make it less expensive on my end so if you have any list of the things I need for a swap id love to pick ya brain about it

[@DelvonDunkin]

Yea I didnt start my youtube page until after I finished my swap... its easy finding the parts they're just a lot more expensive than LS parts. Your parts list is gonna consist of the same list for a ls swap just lt parts, as in mounts, harness, and fuel system.

[@ADLovelace]

@@DelvonDunkin thanks Bro and 1 more question if I may. I’m looking at an l86 with an 8spd trans. Any reason to go 5.3 v 6.2 if the ultimate goal is to add an lt4 supercharger?

[@DelvonDunkin]

Naw its all about preference when I did my swap the prices on those 6.2s was outrageous so I got a 5.3 ima put a lt4 supercharger on mine too

[@naturallynick1]

Nice El Camino I'm thinking about doing a swap also. Did you have to swap the oil pan to get it to fit if so which one did you use or or does fit rite in.
