LS swapping a 1954 Chevy Bel air

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Guy's on getting that Big Engine into the Cool 54. Cool Pablo waiting-on the side line for a Boot.

[@gkanderson92]

Nice job on the motor swap. I'm sure his wife will have a smile on her face and enjoy driving that beautiful car.

[@lau12342]

Your channel is about true hot rodding, making things fit, fabricating etc. I really like it! This was a nice build for wife!

[@lazyhoundracing9621]

On my 53 Chevy 3100 I'm running a stock column and box with EPAS electric P/S. Cut a few inches out of the column and bolt it in. Run a power wire and done. It has adjustable gain. no P/S box, pump. hoses, brackets, pulleys or belts. But that's just me. I also have electric A/C with remote condenser. Thank you for another great video.

[@davfrui]

Ole buddy HALFASS I would like to tell you about your wet higher values/ Entertainment, your always laughing and it adds a tremendous value to your show. I just love it !! It adds so much more that to the show. Invaluable by far.. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. I just hope nothing gets in the way of you doing that. We love to hear you laughing !!!!!! KUDOS TO YOU SIR ..!!!!!!!!

[@callmenortnortin467]

Interesting to see the 6 come out and the 8 go in and back out without needing to remove the hood. Looks challenging but I'm sure you will make it work. Beauty of a little 54 Bel Air , like it a lot

[@davfrui]

HALFASS laughing makes my day watching your show

[@terryeustice5399]

That 56 will be sweet. And going to make the 67 a LS as well. The 54 did seem a harder swap. Than anticipated. But you guy’s got it done. Thank you for sharing!

[@robertduvall7392]

What a sleeper... Loved the skulls on the 305! Almost as good as the laughing Donky radiator emblem. Nope, I take that back.

[@grahamsmith753]

Wow a lot of work

[@kbtruck65blair64]

That's a beautiful old Chevy with a nice update on the powerplant. Thanks Brent bringing us along.

[@danaowen9014]

I laughed out loud when you held up the can of beer and said im helping. The camaro is beautiful.

[@grahamsmith753]

Its so good of you to help him out

[@beealzebub4338]

Very cool swap. I'm Glad Kyle did most of the shit work. He seems to know what he's doing. I'm sure the wife is happy. Thanks for sharing.

[@rudyflores9395]

Wow sir you are an AWESOME friend you are one of the last KOOL people. Sad to say my friends won't help & if I was to help them with something they'd call me STUPID its good I don't have any friends anymore. Awesome work sir.

[@rodparker4514]

Loved this one !More please young man .

[@caroled5734]

I had a 56 Buick century, no power steering. First time I drove it I said no way! But after a while I could drive that thing with two fingers. Loved that car.

[@dwaynewilliams6334]

Nice job on the 54 Chevy LS Swap, Brent. That's a sweet 67 Chevy Camaro. Love the color on it as well. Keep up the good work. Later.

[@jamesschell8164]

It’s amazing the work you turn out in your shop. It take me forever to get anything done, I do but it takes a long time. My project is a 1952 Chevrolet Fleetline slope back. No reposed except for putting a 60 chev 235 in it. Body and repaint.

[@richardarthur8191]

Really like the exhaust sound. The tone is just right. You all did a great job putting the LS motor in.

[@franksgarage8551]

That belair is going to be sweet! Really like the paint work.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Beautiful car! Loved watching!

[@jdm4569]

My 6.0 sounded like a diesel and a mechanic buddy told me to put in a quart of marvel mystery and by about 3,000 miles it quieted down to where you dont even notice any noise anymore. Now I put a pint in at every oil change to keep everything inside the motor clean

[@astravanmk2]

Some more great problem solving :). I love to see it. It’s almost like we are all in your shop with you drinking beers and helping along with the builds. :)

[@professorfalken4600]

Kyle is hiding in Moose Jaw and is going to let you do all the fab work.

[@icerazar713]

I went to school with a guy who graduated 2 years ahead of me who drove a 54 Bel-Air (dark blue and white). I distinctly remember it as it was the first one I ever saw. Really cool cars. Nice to see this one on the road.

[@dennisjones1642]

Hey Half-ass Kustoms from here in the D Michigan 😎 is Awesome watching you install the V8 in a 64 Chevy 🤩 was no job for a beginner , luckily you had little experience 👍😎🤗

[@bbrut3332]

Brent, great shoe horning on a shoe box. Tell Kyle he better take a part time job to keep his wife in new rear tires now that see can spin them whenever she desires.....oh, she will need more money for fuel... Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@allanimalstaxi]

Well Brent what a nice friend you are to Kyle working on his wife's car plus taking up space in your shop, a true friend. It really turned out nice considering what was done to it and sounded pretty good too. I noticed Pablo had a brown round spot on his back today watching this video. Anyways working on cars is not work if you love doing what you to the cars the cars, great job. Keep them coming my friend take care.

[@russswelding6222]

Looks good motor fits , the I'm helping was awesome supervising is hard lol

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

That turned out really good. You made it fit even with a shoehorn it went in. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🐕

[@josephacerra5987]

Nice work you two did on that ride Thanks for sharing. That's one happy Lady

[@robsand8037]

My folks had one as a second driver. I loved it. Six cylinder. We were on gravel roads where I learned how drift the corners “Gangster corner”. We are talking early sixties. Beautiful car 🚙 Thanks

[@TrendsbySterling]

I didn't think it was going to work at first. However if anyone can make it work, you can Brent. Nice going!

[@fabbricaitalianaautomobili5859]

I like how you help your buddies out, wish I had a buddy like you! Ciao

[@kriswright1022]

54 was a great yr, Chevy made this car and I was born!

[@artyart31]

Great job, I see the pcm and fuse block mounted right where it will get the green crusties with in time.

[@keonikaig9247]

AWESOME you guys...makes for a HAPPY wife Great job....

[@donlahey1734]

Always a treat to see you fit some side projects in between your own stuff! What I miss about Manitoba, people helping people, friend or stranger alike.

[@rickbarger7921]

I put a 4.36 cylinder in a 51 Chevy that worked out real nice there was a lot of room and ed trimming also bit had trimming also but not nothing like the V8 eat good luck with that 1 that's gonna be a tight fit you'll get it though I know how you work thanks for the videos always a good time

[@maxxmaddingly329]

The 67 was my first car. Loved that car!

[@bobchipman9152]

As always Brent another great video ,there was a lot to cover but as always ,you guys nailed it ,thanks ,beautiful 67 Camero and the truck will be sharp when that gets done ,thanks Brent and take care man

[@blueeyz2046]

Carona and I were just chillaxin drinking some cool Miller Lites! Your videos I actually watch and don't just play in the background like some. Your precision with working alone dropping the engine and trans combo with the hood on was impressive! The plastic throttle line stuff is very helpful!

[@thomasbailey8306]

Good looking Chevy. The 67 Camaro brought back alot of good memories. I had a Candy Apple 67 convertible. With a 350 Smallblock from Summit Racing. With the engine and Injection system setting on it. It was putting 550 HP too the rear wheels. Loved that car. Great job on the LS swap. And Video..

[@j.b.a.124]

Awesome LS swap, Brent. Congrats. Cheers from California🍾

[@TheREALOC1972]

Great work guys, I just bought a 54 210 2 door sedan and I'm going to put a LS in it. I'm one who screams "Just put an LS in it" but it was going to cost WAY too much to rebuild the 235 and 2 seed auto trans that it just wouldn't be monetarily smart. Why spend 5-8k having the original 235 rebuilt when I can go out buy a LS and 4 speed trans and rebuild them both for less than 2k. Building the best and fastest car spending the least amount of money is what Hot Rodding is all about.

[@glennnickerson8438]

With all the LS swaps you do Bent, you must have a massive "inventory" of vintage engines! At some point you'll have to dip into them on a future build! 😆

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha a lot of them are just boat anchors though

[@dougscriver7726]

Awesome all the best to you and your family

[@royfcjr]

Very sweet ride for the Mrs. Nice stance. I hope she loves the result.

[@timhanson2080]

I had a dark blue 54 Bel Air with a smokey 6 banger. You do such a great job flying that drone.

[@keithmason9342]

Great transplant Brent, tight fit and all. Good to have another project in the books. You know there's a solution to quiet Cherry Bombs. Get them nice and hot and then hit them with cold water. Thanks for the content and we'll see you next time.

[@dwightmcintosh8511]

Great video as always Brent I’ve just watched this one for the second time because that was my first car and I have a real soft spot for it. Mine was the same colour, this could have actually been mine.

Lookin forward to the Essex return.

If you put the plastic hose end into a cup of hot tap water before putting the end on it it will slide smoothly. I don’t even use a hammer to install mine I just push them against the work table for support

When the SBC prototype engine was created by Ed Cole, he put it into his 1954 Chevy Belair hardtop. He wife worked at the public works department in Detroit. She brought home some orange traffic paint. That's how SBC engines became orange.

Kyle seems pretty handy. Usually when i let a buddy do his own work i end up doing the majority. Except A few, buddy with his 50, i was just a tool monkey. Thats my favorite. Drink coffee and hand tools.

What a beautiful car. If I needed to put in a LS, I would put in a front clip from a Camaro or something like that. Good luck. Edit; well that worked out ok, excellent work!

[@frankschwartz7405]

Great job guys, that's a sweet little '54. They used to have accessory chrome headlight rings with an "eyebrow" profile like the 55's fender shape. This car is crying out for them (if you can find such a thing)
