NO MORE LS SWAP! PUTTING A HOT ROD 327 ENGINE IN MY 1957 CHEVY! BUDGET TRADITIONAL KUSTOM

[@CaseysCustoms]

PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO! What’s everybody thinking on the 327 swap? Dumb? Smart?

[@daboenterprize8265]

Smart but would run sniper unit ❤❤❤❤❤

[@GratefulEd907]

Reverse LS swap??? This is the first time I’ve seen this on KZbin. Everyone else is putting one in. I’m here for it.

[@marsha821230]

I mean you can send me the LS swap lmao 🤣. I think you're on the right direction

[@cliffordbosworth5378]

Smart. Love going back to more "classic"

[@Dennon21]

That's too bad that the LS didn't work out. I used the stock harness and stock ecu on my g body swap and its been pretty great. Wiring is a piece of shit job tho. Fuck wiring

[@bnrgreenwood2356]

That small block looks SO MUCH BETTER than the LS in the engine bay.

[@280Zombie]

Don't ever sell it. You love that car and you and your dad built its heart together and it reminds you of your grandpa too. That's the one to pass down to your son. Cheers 👍

[@TomTom2149936]

327 For the win. I love small blocks.

[@danblythe2979]

Yes a proper engine for your beautiful 57. So glad your scrapping that Ls

[@Razor6On3]

327 is probably my number 1 Chevy engine. I drop a couple of them in a few S-10's, perfect little powerhouse for those .

[@marksshed1100]

Glad you are throwing that LS. I've always been an old school v8 guy, so its nice to see something that is not an LS being built.

[@bart9859]

The 327 suits the car better.

[@RoundTownWithMike]

This is why my '56 Chevy has a carburated SB 350. Its way cooler that the LS motors and less headaches.

[@phatbastard2026]

Only because U have no clue what Ur doing! LS platform is 10 times what an old school small block is! Only the Ignorant bad mouth them. Casey doesn't have the knowledge end of story!

[@jasonbose3507]

The 327 is LEGENDARY! A great motor with cool engineering history. It's way better than the LS, in my opinion. Plus, you can put on an old school carburetor on it OR an old school carburetor looking Holley EFI throttle body on it. The 327 is a win win for this particular build! Also, a Father & Son built engine is always sooo very awesome 👍 to place in your ride. Good job Casey on this video. Thanks for the video 📸, it's very appreciated!

[@kylemeyers9130]

The fact he uses an umbrella while pressure washing in the rain is pure gold! Love the content!

[@williamhutchinson4730]

What the Hell, half way through and not one Giant pain n the ass 😂😅 What a great looking dog... 327 belongs in that car 👌

[@Axial_Andrew]

Thumbs up for the shop doggie...🐶

[@cliffordbosworth5378]

Needs an old school supercharger on top, help fill some of that space

[@jaredshoemaker9196]

Sweet!!! Glad you're going old school 327. Best of luck, take care.

[@nicklopez1809]

327 choice is awesome and simple.

[@OldBondoBilly]

SBC yes!😊😊

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Thank you for painting under the hood.

[@KINGLEFU5706]

Hay Bud love your videos and the content and one of the things I like about you is your not afraid to speak on the Bull shit and tell it like it is and love the story about you and your dad and it's awsome you putting in the 327!!!!

[@philhunt-g3n]

Classic engine for a classic car now that is right smart move

[@larpzy989]

MAYBE... ....old school supercharger? I absolutely love that Chevy! Keepbem comin brother

[@chaddavis7228]

I like the 327 and ls but at the end of the day it's your car do what you want. Even if you put a diesel or something crazy in it as long as you are happy and driving it who cares. Have a good day

[@FrauUnibrow]

Nice 327! Wise move !

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

Dang Casey, does that cute yellow umbrella match your purse too? Good thing you had it so you wouldn't ruin your hair doo and makeup!

[@zackthompson7537]

I'm not mad about the 327 one bit, love an LS but everyone is doing them. Side note, please clean those whitewalls!

[@BluMaGiKCj]

I love it! Small blocks sounds so much better anyway! 💯🔥

[@macho4x4warlock98]

Smart! HEI one wire, Alternator one wire, starter one wire. Compared to LS 200/wire & the ECM hanging out in the weather!!!

[@60chevyjim]

that looks much better and is so EZ to work on if needed

[@davidsegerstrom9313]

Booyah five seven in the house.....think the 327 is the way to go also!!

[@user-427.commodore]

Yep works for me, mean little motor 🏁

[@57kickstand]

Love the 57. Also can't wait til you get back to the blazer.

[@crippleguy415]

327 is a great idea . But try a 327 crank in a Chevy 400 block too .❤👍🏻😃

[@PitterPatter42]

You need a permanent shop inspector on the channel! 🐾

[@impala6524]

Paint work is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tombrenes2411]

Beautiful car with the perfect condition Thrash and drive it

[@Enter-a-name55]

All my small blocks are always painted orange. And transmissions I paint blue. I painted one blue years ago because that was the only paint I had at the time. I just thought it looked good, so I keep painting them a dark royal blue.

[@csj9619]

Killer car man! I like it both ways, but the gen 1 small-block fits the traditional appearance. I'm surprised you're rockin' the wheel covers and whitewalls, but I like it.

[@ChoneyNation]

Old school is the way to go

[@ronpapp2534]

I have a 69 Camaro and contemplated an Ls. I had a big block 427 (LS1) that I put in bone stock. I am happy with my descision and love the 327 swap back.

[@jrburger1987]

I've been told to put a LS swap in my 82 Buick regal I refused to since I tell them to buy the motor and wire it up for me if they can talk about it like its a easy thing to do... which can cause issue since I hate electronic issue. so I pulled my 4.1 V6 due to a crack block and spun 2 bearings and scored up the crank journal. So I bought another running V6 out of a 85 regal, pulled the old one and got the 3.8L V6 put it on the stand and did a full rebuild, and drop it in the regal. after 20 yrs I finally got it running! I made videos but haven't post another video on my update.

[@PeckerwoodKustoms]

Cool vid man and thanks for going against the rain...this LS the world thing is for the birds!! Cant wait to hear the 327 screamin !! I was gonna ask you what you listen to during these vids...turns out its Taylor Swift...lol... Just noticed the Caseys Customs tattoo.. is that available in the merch section? Hahaha keep at it mate!!

[@henriknordeng]

Love 57 bel air. A 57 convertible is my dream car but sadly they are really expensive where i live and i will never be able to afford to buy one..

[@delscoville]

Wow, it looks so tiny under that '57 hood. But once you get everything else in it'll make more sense. My brother (R.I.P.) had a '57 back in the late 70's. He worked on it for months, until my dad was transferred and we all, but my brother, went with. He had to sell it before getting it running.

[@markpaterson-v3m]

The perfect combination love it love watching what you're doing keep it up😮

[@Acestrex]

could always call wine one one and get a wambulance!! sand in clam removal!

[@gregory.reyes.414]

That's one way to get the water out of your air tank.😂 Put that moisture to good use. 👍

[@allisoncochran1607]

I'm a '57 Heavy Chevy also and we are both 67 this year. Red is my favorite color. Now I want to call her Alli! LOL

[@moubeennaru6629]

Very noice, go for a black and red theme. Roof black, chrome black and wheels black.

[@redwinstead7873]

Thats my favorite car to I bought one when I was 16 years old with my own money that was alot of money 50 years ago ❤❤❤❤❤

[@adancastaneda5156]

It’s the security system I. The stock ecu my truck does that when the battery dies u have to program the key in the ignition again it just cranks and won’t start

[@darrengriffin9339]

Good ol’ Heinz 57

[@HicksGarage]

FYI if the TPS is showing full throttle while starting it cuts the injectors to clear flood. Its a little late now though.

[@CaseysCustoms]

Hmm. I’m thinking about keeping this engine for a truck i have, we might have to talk sir lol

[@HicksGarage]

@@CaseysCustoms let me know.

[@georgeburch1479]

Ya need that shaker thing that pudding fab has

[@jjs7293]

Man, that engine bay has soooo much room for activities.

[@SethHollingshead]

please look at doing raptor liner ..its cheap comes with a gun and its not rubberized can sand it and it is better than line-x etc

[@davidweidner1675]

327 all the way

[@juliotiemann5898]

Hey man. You need modulo injection Fueltech. FT 450.

[@jorgecastillo-qs9bx]

The ls is so damn easy. eBay harness is under $200 and a proper ecu tuned is also $200.

[@LSx.Mustang]

or.. just get a Terminator X if your budget allows

[@jorgecastillo-qs9bx]

@@LSx.Mustang I just don’t see a point on a stockish ls swap. If it’s going big power big boost totally. But in a 330hp mild cam 5.3 the oem stuff works great.

[@albegt98]

good job Casey 👍💪

[@christaylor2168]

Don’t forget to remove the old piolet shaft bushing. It’ll break flex plates if not

[@BBBBBB-sz3iw]

Look at the MSD controller. It's easy to wire and program. 😮

[@PowerfulRoman]

Please do a build series with an LSX swap twin turbos! 😁

[@opossozoku8005]

this is the exact nightmare I wanted to avoid with LS swaps, but they do make carb manifolds and a distributor coversion

[@ernestomejia110]

Another option after you removed the wiring was to carb the ls. All you need is an msd box, a carb to ls intake manifold and a carburetor. None of the wiring needed. I guess you could still carb the ls engine and use it on another project

[@CharlesCox-p1h]

You really need to get a shop dog , they really cut down on the stress

[@jhartwig3938]

What size ground wire from your alternator is going to your battery terminal. Because if it's too small it'll make everything act up and will burn up your alternator I had that problem with my Jeep we couldn't figure out all the wires and it never would run right but once we added a bigger wire to it ran perfect

[@bensabelhaus7288]

Ah cam/crank sensor failures. In the future hook your meter up to the sensor leads and rotate the engine by hand. The sensor is an electro magnet. Either it's bad or the pick up on the crank or Cam is bad. Older Subarus you could diagnose which it was by failure. Fail to crank is crank, cranks but don't start is cam. Broken pick up is intermittent weirdness.

[@Enter-a-name55]

On a GM if it cranks and doesn't read an RPM on your scanner it's a bad crank sensor. Bad cam sensor will show an RPM but will not fire the injectors. If either sensor is bad it will not start.

[@offensive164]

To many fumes, brother, it's got you all jacked up ! 😂😂😂

[@OzBull]

You could have shorted the 5v rail in the ecu or killed the injector channel by giving it 12v when the wiring melted.

[@houseofhorsepower3989]

Other wires go to crank sensor. I'd replace the sensor as well

[@impala6524]

GL👍🏾✌🏾

[@mattmoore1236]

Put a carb on that 5.3 if u want it to run right

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Gorgeous tri 5!

[@kristopherlockwood9687]

What about the vats system is it locked out

[@johnnydrennan4965]

Love it

[@thomasanderson2870]

327 all day ❤👍😬

[@caseybiddy2755]

Bro it’s a fire build can’t wait

[@will2-b150]

I’ve got both, but not many things in this world sound better than a good old cammed sbc with some long tubes.

[@mikepoint4717]

Please don’t sell it , drive it , drive it and drive it until the wheels fall off Casey . Cheers 🇨🇦

[@overboosted1g]

Ls swaps are literally the easiest thing possible you already did the hard part of getting the engine and trans in the car you could have bought a sub $200 harness and had any reputable tuner make it run correctly. I've started ls in junkyards with Milwaukee batteries and a deleted vats ecu. Basic efi knowledge goes a long way with this sort of thing. Being able to look at live data like crank and cam signals as well as tps and map and maf signals and knowing if they were correct would have allowed you to have it running effortlessly. A holley terminator x would have also had that engine running perfectly.

[@johnwheeler8964]

❤that color

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Yeah man, a proper old school engine in an old school hot rod is so right. The paint is kinda...meah, but it's better then my '57 Chevy (I don't have one' but I wish I did).

[@redwinstead7873]

Sorry that happened to you watch you put it together it was hard on you and you are doing the right thing I think good luck bro❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ashleyrichards4698]

Could just pull the intake and put a carbie setup and you have the 350

[@craigbowley6783]

You should keep dog treats in your shop. For when the random dog shows up.

[@Sadioli]

I think I saw you earlier this week in Rolla? If not someone had a very similar one!

[@davidlaw2696]

Great choice for that car. Do you want to get rid or the LS

[@johnpaulheupel5713]

Nice ride Dan.... I mean Casey. lol

[@foehammerTrance]

the honda build makes me miss my 91 mercury capri (not a typo look it up) I sold it for scrap a couple years ago after owning it for almost 20 years 😔

[@mobigsly9595]

oh boy the Hawk tua chick has entered the video

[@PaulDunen]

dad knows best

[@davidlaw2696]

I’m working on a lowered 84 suburban and want an LS

[@matthewzimmerman5889]

Go with holley, I dd my 53 belair with 5.3 ls and holley

[@atombombsgarage]

For sure. Way better than the LS. Im getting tired of seeing LS swaps. The Honda is. Cool and one of a kind, but thats the type of engine that needs to be in a 57 Chevy

[@kristopherlockwood9687]

Casey you should of bought DD speed shops 47 Chevy car on bags

[@swamppy4880]

Yank it,go old school.always dependable

[@richyoung7927]

You’re not the only one who has had issues. I did a 6.0 swap into a 79 Malibu and made 128HP on the sloppy dyno with Matt pulling his hair out trying to tune that Desaster. Finally put it on eBay. Lost my ass…

[@darrengriffin9339]

3+2 7 for the 57 🤯

[@ravens2417]

Day 2 of asking for a Westen Champlin and Casey customs collab, you two could build a monster burn out car!!

[@ravens2417]

A Skids4Kids charity burnout car would be insane!! Think about it Casey! Ik you have tons of projects your already working on but in the future when your thinking of a new project this could be a fun a fun idea! And for a great cause!

[@dalehartley2414]

Hey was wondering what you're going to do with that LS engine maybe you could raffle it I really need something to do a budget build cuz I don't have any money at least to buy a LS engine even though I know they're not very expensive but what I'm trying to do is a budget build with hardly spending any money and just getting it together something I do body work for a living so I think I could think of something or find something but I really want to do it for practically nothing so a raffle would be great just wondering though love the show love all the shows you you do really good at it
