I've Got A 1960's Small Block Chevy In My 2006 GMC!

[@wadetyler5056]

Back in the mid 70s I helped my buddy drop a Ford 302 into a 66 Datsun pickup, he had to cut little doors in the firewall to access the rear spark plugs. What a go cart!

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

My ol' lady was watching w me and was doubtful. I said " you wait, Ike is very resourceful!" I am jealous that y'all's treasures down south are in much better shape than up north! Those 3/8" bolts on the manifolds are down to 1/2" heads up here now.

For so long I've wanted to put an older engine in a newer car something carburetor when it's supposed to be feeling ejected. Can't wait to seethis video

[@AtomicReverend]

I think it is an excellent idea putting a small block where an LS went. Small block Chevy is probably the world's most reliable engine of all time. I don't know what the emissions laws are in your area if there is any but would be really cool would be to build the living snot out of a small block and put the gnarliest cam in it You could find so it sounds like a race car.

You need a nice working space like that Ike! Buy that one or build a new garage with lifts. I can’t even tell you how nice it is to have a work space totally separate from storage. Nothing but tools are stored in the work garage. I got so sick of looking at projects while working on projects that I had to do something. I love how clutter free that garage is.

Ooo nice, parts for the '57 came in? Sweet. I think your brother did a great job of breaking this project down for those that might have missed previous videos - sure it's kinda crazy but this is really just playing around with leftover parts.

[@Slane583]

Because even if it doesn't affect them directly people feel it is their mission to complain about something they don't agree with. If I had the past professional experience of being a mechanic like Ike I would have also bought the Envoy just for the engine in it as well. The GMC Envoy is not a vehicle that is known for being great or problem free so it isn't really worth anything. But people will complain because they only see a perfectly usable vehicle being cut up. I see a fun project that no one else has bothered doing before. :)

Hi bro from west Alabama

[@TBLtravels]

That engine you put in the Envoy is either a 327, 307 or a 350. Look at the valve covers! And run the numbers

[@suzukiman650]

Why? The valve cover bolt patterns are the same on all the old small blocks. Either center bolt for the newer stuff or perimeter for the old stuff.

[@bumpedhishead636]

Well, the Vortech LM4 had "variable displacement" that lowered its horsepower down to about the same as what you will get from the junkyard small block...

Considering that everything but the cigarette lighter goes through the computer on these vehicles, how are you going to run some of the non-engine-related things like the AC and speedometer?

That's the first thing everyone shoud do when buying a new car. 1500 bucks and off ya go, stress free ,

[@twocvbloke]

I think the reason that stuff fits so well is they kind of forgot to innovate and update, so, they've pretty much produced the same stuff for decades, just bolting newer stuff on like EGR, EFI, ECUs, Sensors etc., rather than just, y'know, making something new... :P

[@kevinhayden85]

It fits because the envoy and trailblazers had the option of a 5.3 v8 so the engine bay was already setup to accommodate a small block v8

[@mommylovesprh]

yep no innovation, that's why people swap the ls in almost everything. not just for power but reliability.

[@Robrt32]

Always loved GM for that very reason. It makes parts cheap and plentiful compared to Ford which they change everything almost year to year

[@SaneCayne]

$200 scrap price?!? Ike, that's a Denali version of an Envoy, with the "fancy" trim and "fancy" Denali wheels. You should be able to get no less than $400 for the wheels alone. That's a $800 roller, easy. I'm still behind ya overall. But I really wish this wasn't a semi-rare version Envoy, that, on camera, looks pretty darn decent.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Chrome on rims are peeling. Things on camera look way better than in person. I didnt think they were rare or collectable so thats why i did this. I hope i didn't upset too many people

[@SaneCayne]

@@isaacitllbefine7231 To quote some YT'er I know: It'll be fine. ☺ GMCs are always a bit rarer than the Chevy versions. And the Denali package is the top of the line package. So that was a primo ride back in its day. I mentioned it looked good "on camera". So if you're saying it's actually pretty crappy IRL, then do it to it brotha! No hurt feelings here!
