5.3L / 4L60E Install | LS Swap '70 Chevy C10

[@ericbulcher307]

Paul I did this swap on my 68 c10 . I designed a shifter adaptor set up that operates with the original 4l60e shift cable from the donor vehicle. It is sweet. If you or any of your subscribes would like to give it a try let me know. Have enjoyed all your videos on your project. Good luck on you build.

[@yamahaxs6501]

your channel has been a great source during my build. thanks for putting out great content.

[@Mynameisjeffffffff]

I'm actively swapping the same combo into my 70 stepside c10! I've only just got the donor powertrain out and half prepped, about to start pulling the c10's heart out and swap away!

[@artysmotorsports]

Dude how's this channel not bigger. Great job with the ls swap. That's next on my to do list 👍

[@brandonwill2977]

Arty's Motorsports it is he just really started posting regularly

[@brandonwill2977]

Love the build, you inspired me to start posting my rebuild on KZbin also..keep up the great work

[@Timgrantham66]

You might want to flip the upper transmission crossmember bolts because when you get the cab on you cannot get them out.

[@sarblade]

I was watching you line up your 4l80 in the middle of the frame, isn’t the diff a little offset?

[@NVSRides]

Great video. 👍 I love my c10 keep up the great work.

[@voodstoc]

Thanks for posting these videos. You're covering alot of the stuff I'll be doing on my truck soon. I'd like to see you ditch the music and talk about what you're doing more. But that's just me.

[@Me7913tyop]

very nice trucks i just got my 1978 c10 today its got a ls4 in it

[@broncoviejo78]

Hi! Question? Nice build. Did you change your oil pan? I’m getting ready to do my 72 c10. My donor is a 2003 5.3 truck motor. Thanks

[@wammi31]

Hi, I am following your steps about the build, I have my 71 shorted already, I am going to use a 350 engine with a 700R4 transmission ( not yet enough budget for a LS Swap), is it OK to use a one piece drive shaft? , will that clear the original crossmember without issues? if yes, what shaft did you choose? thank you for your help!!

[@paulkc10]

Should be fine

[@bradsmith6119]

wammi31 how is that build going, I to am thinking of 89 350 tbi ??

[@yamahaxs6501]

what shocks are you running? currently lowered 5.5/5 and looking for some good upgrades from the junk that's on it now.

[@paulkc10]

Drop shocks from LMC. Nothing too crazy right now.

[@c10marco68]

Doing a 6.0 ls swap on mine, love watching your videos. they definitely helped me on my build

[@Rawnchy1]

​@paulk_c10 Not sure if you still read your comments. I'm building a c10 myself and just installed my transmission crossmember. I see your motor and trans have a severe tilt backwards. Did you do anything to correct that? Or did you leave it? I'm having the same issue. I believe it's supposed to be 3 degrees?

[@quality5676]

Bruh I’m runnin into the same question you have any answers for this?

[@tima7172]

Hell yeah man

[@jeremycostello2236]

Love the build. What fuel tank and pump are you using? I'm doing the same swap in my 71.

[@paulkc10]

Fuel tank is CPP aluminum 20 gallon with a Walbro 255 pump

[@gregwilcox8288]

Truck looks nice, I have a 76 c10 long bed can I use the rear end from a 1999 c1500 I will also be using the 5.3/4l60E from the 99 Thanks

[@JoseSanchez-sx3et]

I just was wondering how much money you have put in it since you started your truck?

[@paulkc10]

If I respond, then my wife will know! Haha

[@alonzofloyd8140]

Nice Bro will be a nice daliy driver.

[@CarlosCarlos-2018]

Hey paul,What size shaft is that or did you had to send your old one to get cut to propper size ?,im doing the same exact setup 5.3 4L60e also from longbed to shortbed as well.

[@paulkc10]

It’s the stock driveshaft cut down 12” for the original motor and trans. Get your motor and trans in place and take measurements. The drive shaft shop cut, welded, balanced, painted and put in new u-joints for around $90

[@CarlosCarlos-2018]

paulk_c10 thank you again,love your videos brother,please keep them coming

[@desertsnakezerke1042]

Cool build

[@chaningdodson4245]

What motor mounts did you use I have a 5.3 that I want to put in my 70 gmc I'm just gonna keep the th350 for now, was told it will bolt right up with a spacer. Just not sure witch motor mounts to buy but I do want them to be adjustable as hell

[@anthonygutz95]

I know it's a old video but did you have to get a custom drive shaft made or the stock one fit? Going to be doing the same with mine

[@paulkc10]

I just had the stock one cut down

[@josemendiola6031]

Great work. Looks good, your work if very clean 👌👌. I have been watching your videos and don’t recall seeing if you changed your oil pan. Wondering if you had enough clearance with does motor mounts and adjustable plates Thanks and keep up the good work man 👍👍
