LS Swapped Winnebago - Part 2 Mopar to Chevy Swap

In this episode of "this old methlab".... insanity.

[@RegularCars]

This is gonna be so BADASS

[@AlexSirghie]

RegularCars you better do a video about it

[@donaldlawyer]

given a long enough timeline.

[@dalecollison791]

Great job mate. You are using our aussie gto front pan. I just used the same front pan on an ls2 into a mercedes vito. Keep up the good work. Look forward to see her headin up the highway!

[@tboHammu]

Info on the LS swapped Vito?

[@dalecollison791]

TboHammu yeah man. Im going to do a montage of pics and video of the start up probably end of this week. Just finishing wiring and fueling.

[@tboHammu]

That's super cool!

[@rodpalmer4652]

Be sure to post Dale, that sounds cool!!

[@brownwrench]

I'd recommend some studs installed at the ends of the manifolds if you haven't already. The bolts have a tendency to fail a lot.

[@Hawk-qn2zk]

The turbo is completely practical and fun on this build.

[@francistheodorecatte]

Are you gonna be welding the diff/putting a limited slip in there? Can't be having one legged burnouts on this thing.

[@GhettoWagon]

Awwww man. Turbo RV. too cool

[@nocarebear8301]

So is this going to go on the Sloppy dyno?

Your RV is a 1976. The 1977's had black around the headlights.

[@chriscampbell5624]

So awesome.. I'm not sure how someone can talk shit on this build even without a turbo...weirdos. In for Winnebago burnouts 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@DeadReckon]

Need to find a nice 80's turbo badge and slap it on the back, the gaudier the better.

[@jamest.5001]

The 6 speed auto trans would be nice also. I have a 454 from a 90's rv in my 90's truck with 5 speed.

[@SassyMudTruckDegenerateDumbFk]

Once you get that turbo a spinnin' you can throw on those white gloves and show everyone just how fancy you are.

[@Grantsimms]

Make sure you talk to Hot Rod magazine about their “ Hot Rod Anything” column . I have never seen a better example

[@Mike-xt2ot]

GM p30 chassis with a 440. Winnabego sounds like a branch of AMC MOTORS. Lol

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

Its not a GM. Its a Dodge M400 chassis

[@UOttawaScotty]

Best thing I have ever seen !

[@jln1122]

Figuring out that yoke was probably a pain in the ass. had the same issue swapping out a ford Y block to a 6.0 LS in my jetboat.

[@YoungHeartedSoul]

your neighbors lawn mowers are loud..maybe v tec kicked in? @4:23

[@justmeokay8253]

What a lot of people don't know is the 6 liter ls comes in big isuzu box trucks and other commercial vehicles that carry lots of weight.

[@adamkalman6011]

Fuel Injection Sucks? And whats better? certainly not carbs

[@sambucci8544]

This is awesome!!

[@RussellBooth1977]

It's got the same oil pan as the 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine in my Australian built 2002 Holden VY SS Commodore as Holden used to build the 2 door Monaro in left hand drive configuration in Australia, rebadge it as the Pontiac GTO then exported it over to North America. Holden had them purposely made by Chevrolet so the LS1 motor will fit into the Commodore/Monaro Front K frame,AFAIK the oil pan wasn't fitted into any U.S. built vehicles. The engine in the Winnebago is actually a 6 litre iron block Chevrolet LQ4 V8 engine,not the all alloy 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine which is fitted into my Holden Commodore !

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

They were on GTOs sold in the US. They are imported Monaros.

[@seudechrist]

. Bad ass but that turbo is way to close to the floor!!! Your gonna break it and or light the carpet on fire

[@reddavis4653]

Your foobared when you blow a tire lol

[@JoshKilen]

nice way to own the haters with the turbo setup.

[@shermdeazy]

Straight bad ass! Merrica!

[@The_Conspiracy_Analyst]

0:19 you mean "turd, bro"

[@joeinmi8671]

This just keeps getting better and better. Front runner for most unique Ls swap ever?

[@davedem92pony]

Just curious on why ls swap? Why not turbo Cummins?

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

Would cost about three times as much.

[@happyb.s.productions316]

@ 0:15 he was offended? 😂 😂 so that's why I seen this turbo Winnebago on facebook posted by 1320video.

[@derekobidowski5784]

i would of gone with a diesel conversion for dodge would be a Cummins 12 valve 6bt from a Ram pickup. since you got the LS in there if down the road if you want to go with the modern 6.6l Duramax diesel as these engines have enough power to push the motorhome. as Cummins they are well knowen for Medium duty trucks and School busses the current Cummins engine for the Ram and bus chassis is the Cummins ISB 6.7l and Navistar is starting to use this engine in the bus and truck chassis. or a Caterpillar 3126 or C7 ACERT would be a choice to push a big motorhome like this. but for the era of this motorhome a diesel conversion would be the mechanically injected ones the engine of choice for dodge would be a Cummins 12 valve 6bt as the ones with the p1700 injection pumps are what they are after. as the engines you can get out of old retired school busses.

[@alfred2413]

Contact me about the M 300 book. I can send you a VIN decoder. Definitely a 1976.

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

I think I said in the one video these things are weird. They sit around for a few years when new before being titled. I learned this selling parts over the years. Something titled as a 1978 could actually be made in 1975, 76, etc. The title and vin plate say 1978.

[@alfred2413]

Okay. Do you have a vin plate?

[@g-man8008]

Still think you should have put a 24 valve Cummins diesel motor transmission and rear end to match. That RV and still be on the road after 300,000 miles no problem.

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

I need to start a Patreon I guess.

[@JoeHynes284]

how dare you not poll all of youtube prior to starting your project

[@rorschachblot274]

Winnaboosto!

[@brownwrench]

So what ratio change do you have planned to work with that 4L80 overdrive transmission?

[@XSniper16]

This is turning out pretty sweet. Is the 3rd gen Cummins in the background a customer vehicle?

[@davidalcaraz6003]

Sounds Like this is going to be a properly powered RV And hearing Choo Choo Noises will have people looking around for something other than An RV, Are you planning to put in an inter cooler?

[@leviridge3307]

great work

[@martijnbruggers8694]

YES!! finally someone builds a turbo LS RV! I had this in my head for years and finally someone is doing it!

[@ROTAXD]

I love the idea, but why a 6.0 and a junk turbo ? If you're going to do a project like this, especially with a Winnie in such good shape, do it right or don't bother. Done properly you'd have used a 572, a 6L80 and a garrett. Now you've got a 4l80 and a used 6.0 with a cheap chinese turbo. Shit, would've been easier to build the 440 & 727 and find a 2 speed rear.

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

All those options would have been twice if not more the budget, and would have consumed much more fuel. The owner has used turbo LS's in many projects, same with 4L80's, with great results and reliability for years.

[@jigmetv8497]

@@FuelInjectionSucks some peoples kids I'd like to know what a turbo'd 572 with a 6l80 would actually cost lol

[@ROTAXD]

laintime why in tf would you turbo a 572 ? There's no need. As for the owner deciding to use a 6-0 and the 4 speed...it's his truck. Were it mine, I'd have done it differently.

[@myroadtours6147]

Turbo, now we're talking :)

[@MrZayne8]

Sweet. Good news on the PS hose and driveshaft fitment Hope its the same on my '71 Chieftain.

[@ChaotiX1]

teerbo

[@betamaxrules]

So cool. Have fun and keep it up. Just be sure to not only blanket that turbo, but also tack some heat shield to the floor. It's not an ideal location there.

[@mr.motormaster9881]

i had this as a MICRO MACHINE so cool!!!

[@BK-it6wg]

I was just about to comment to turbo it, and you should have seen my face when you showed that turbo...O_O... it went from turdo to turbo...funny?...no?... I guess ill walk home then... P.S. put a turbo blanket on the turbo or you will see the turbo from the drivers seat soon!

[@dinobot_maximize]

will the turbo melt or burn the carpet above it?

[@obrienracing1]

RL Agito gonna run a blanket we will be fine

[@xozindustries7451]

People read these comments? What a waste of time and effort. It'll be interesting now to see what happens

[@gentilejoshsaved1646]

This will be a great weekend machine. I am jealous

[@2000cobraguy]

Slip yoke looks too far out of tailshaft

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

It has like an 8'' yoke. 3/4 of it is in the trans, and it will never move from that point because it's a two-piece shaft.

[@jimbo2487]

Very cool project you got going there. I can’t wait to see your progress.

[@yax11t0289]

Yes ls the world + boost + winabago= mint

[@dennislorden3142]

I thought it was cool before the turbo, now it's even cooler

[@VeeDees]

Lmao this just got a lot more interesting

[@03blackgsx]

Nice work so far - Keep it up!

[@mark5251993]

How did you get the engine out with out cutting the Winnebago up

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

The grill unscrews and you pull it straight out.

[@mark5251993]

@@FuelInjectionSucks I'm trying to put a 454 in my 66 Chevy in place of the 4.8l

What engine was in it?

This engine was meant to be in this rv.

looking good

Its as if it was designed for an ls swap

I wanna update!!

[@Jlow67WV]

Awesomeness!!!!

[@jantonioh4435]

Nice 👍👍

[@cougar1972xr7]

so now that you went turbo you going to upgrade the cam and valve springs too or are you going to try to pump extra air through a stock cam ? and you running a intercooler i hope ?

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

Stock valvetrain. There will be an intercooler.

[@obrienracing1]

Only going to run 10-12psi, intercooler and meth injection. Stock cam and springs. Not making a race car out of it. Just want some extra torque and horsepower.

[@bigce]

Might want to look at adding a second wastegate. I doubt one is going to be enough, I assume it's going to be low boost and that eBay Turbo is probably small on the turbine side already.

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

It's a 60MM gate.

[@obrienracing1]

Chad Endersby we run the same exact setup/wastegate placement on 2500pickup. It runs under 14psi no problem. 60mm gate can pretty much control everything regardless of poor placement.

[@bigce]

Time will tell I guess. I've got a 7875 on a 5.3 and a 60mm gate on the housing and it creeps on anything less than 10pounds.

[@bennetfox]

If it had a 440 in it then why are you putting a 350 in it? How come not a 454?

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

Its not a 350, its a 6.0 so its a 366. The 440 made 220hp, the 6.0 makes 345 before the turbo. Your average smog 454 makes around 300. The 6.0 is cheaper, stronger in stock form, and will get better mpg.

[@bennetfox]

Fuel Injection Sucks wow it looks like you guys have this down to a science! One more question, my other choice would have been a Cummins diesel inline 6-cylinder. Thoughts?

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

That would have worked great, but would have doubled the budget of this project.

[@bennetfox]

Fuel Injection Sucks thank you much for the information! I stumbled across your video and wanted to get caught up to speed really quick. Good luck and I hope you guys are successful in this endeavor! Are you guys using a Chrysler or a GM transmission?

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

GM 4L80E.

[@bigredracer7848]

I need the trans cooler is the least of your worries I think the transmission should be performance built to handle the extra torque that this turbo Motors going to throw at it I wore out to 4 L 80 E in my Suburban can imagine pushing Grandma's house down the road along that Transmissions going to last looks like a good install so far keep it up

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

These transmissions are installed in trucks this heavy, factory. Guys run 1000hp through junkyard units with no issues.

[@chasebh89]

First

[@randysmith6688]

hows he going to make left turns, the turbo looks like it will interfere.

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

No where near the tire, like 2 feet away

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

I have a 283 in my S10 and it makes 950 hp

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

Yea even with the turbo it's going to be under powered. Big blocks has tons of tourqe that's why they put them in there. You will be very unhappy with the LS engine. LS engine's are great engine's. P7t a 454 in it with the turbo

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

Its going to conservatively be 400-500hp. I have a 454 in a 3/4 ton truck, this thing will outrun it.

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

Fuel Injection Sucks I bet money on it the 454 wins that one. My boss has a 2015 Chevy 1 ton 6.0 345 hp my 1999 1 ton vortec 454 runs circles around it with way less hp cause it has big block tourqe. That rv will be a turd and you ain't got no 400 to 500 hp either. Not with the pics I see

[@TH3C001]

+1970 olds442 I saw a guy stick a turbo 6.0 in a Chevy Colorado. He conservatively estimated it made somewhere around 400 hp. He finally put it in the dyno and found it made around 600+ hp. It's on Regular Car Reviews channel. This Winnebago's setup will be perfect.

[@masterpoop67]

what kind of power do yall expect to make?

[@obrienracing1]

Jacob Holbrook not much. Maybe 375-400 at the wheels? Not that it will ever get dynoed. Just want to be able to pull hills and not melt it down.
