Un LS Swapped 2006 GMC Envoy Runs For The First Time!

[@papatomsthoughts]

I love that you show your frustration and challenges. Old school mechanic, starts tapping on carb right away. Engine sounds good. Take care

[@Gocrybozo]

My condolences on your father. He raised a great family. I lost my grandma January 13th. She waited to come home from the hospital to sit out on the porch.. It is so bittersweet I miss her but I'm happy that she's at peace and is no longer suffering from the many terminal illnesses she had. She's the strongest woman Ive ever met. Always had a great story to tell all the way to the end🥹

[@jstephenallington8431]

I know that exact feeling when the number things going wrong start to stack up on you, and you can't seem to get ahead of them. I always have to take a step back and just make a mental checklist and start from the beginning and work my way out through to the end, very methodically. You got this, Ike!

[@the_truck_farmer]

So cool how that old Caprice driveshaft bolted right in. You saved $100s on that one piece alone! I love to see how easy the old SBC bolts in to something new.

[@leokline3541]

I've been in that same situation. Sometimes it's best to just walk away and work on it another day.

[@randallyoung6647]

Yea or it can cost the price of a windshield .68 Chevell

[@MrGOTJOE]

I'm a long time subscriber to your "Cars and Cameras" so seeing you on your own channel is great too. I feel your frustrations during this build. But you know when to take a break, that's a good thing. Keep it up bro, you got this!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

I appreciate that!

[@olemanhunter5407]

Great vid, man can’t believe how much your brother and you look alike,,,,

[@jameskirk4652]

your dad looked like a very good old boy as it were, i lost my dad when i was very young, ,just as a it happens you dad passed on my 50th birthday, may he rest in peace!!

[@kimoarmstrong3519]

I'm all for this build. Zoomies and a roots style blower would be the icing on the cake.

[@paulheart5178]

I've never seen you get frustrated before on camera. Now you're human and of course it's going to happen but I've not seen it on camera. It was actually nice to see that you are not an alien and actually can get frustrated like the rest of us :). I will say that you handle it MUCH, MUCH better than probably the bulk of us viewing your vids. No air miles on your tools, no busted windshields or dented fenders lol. Actually I'm not quite that bad anymore but I use to have little baby fits when something would just not work and I had tried several times to make it work. Love what you're doing to the Envoy as well. I think it's a cool project and will be a shit ton of fun when you're done with it. Thanks again for the fantastic content both on here and Cars And Cameras. It's always a blast watching.

[@NubsWithGuns]

"air miles" I've tossed a wrench or 2 across the garage myself once or twice. Then there was the grinder, maybe a few ratchets, considered heaving my welding machine a few times. Yeah we've all been there.

[@paulheart5178]

@@NubsWithGuns lol so true. I'm 52 and grew up during the time period when video games became available for home use. Albeit very archaic but at home none the less. Many, many, many joysticks and controllers acquired many air miles and then us young kids graduated to tools lol.

[@rosebooth7367]

@@NubsWithGuns One thing that I very much regretted throwing many moons ago was a huge pan full of bolognese sauce. I was finding tiny bits of it still months down the line. Obviously I wasn't working on a car at the time because that would be 1. plain weird 2. beyond my multi tasking capabilities and 3. it would make me a "perfect" woman... and as we know they don't exist ! ;)

[@Fearborne]

@@NubsWithGuns Yeah...I've thrown wrenches too, but it's also mostly brake line fittings...and my flange-maker. Man, hard lines on old trucks, especially in the Midwest? Those are so gosh darn frustrating. I had to use steel line, too because Autozone/O'Reilly's didn't have any 3/16 copper-zinc lines. Either way, I agree. We've all been there lol

[@brentdoege6266]

At least you show the real frustrations of the good times! I personally like to throw a wrench or two in the general direction I happen to be facing. Love the videos!

[@andrewklahn7899]

Isaac don't feel bad eventually John's going to be in his forties too😊

[@j.w.3345]

We've all had the "I'm done days". Sometimes it's just best to walk away and come back later. It wants to go, it will!

[@joooools01]

Engine sounds good. I'd be a little less restrained if the starter failed on me. Real life mechanics - keep 'em coming.

[@DevilsAdvocate-iv4hf]

Not finished the video yet, you just mentioned your dad... The outro of your videos gets me in the feels, every damn time. Never met you, never met him... But it sure seems like you gave him the respect that he obviously deserved.

[@countrychase3873]

Oh man, i can relate to that frustration. So many guys would have edited it out, so thanks for keeping it real!!!!

[@LawrenceClark-qn9mp]

Sorry to hear about your Father Ike, I still miss my parents! One tip on the seals, Instead of going through all the work of removing the tyranny, Try adding some AT205 Reseal, I've had really good luck with it! I causes the rubber to swell up & reseal it! Good Luck

[@gabebothers9937]

Really enjoyed the video. I feel your pain ive had a year that went that way lol. Youll get it no worries, cant wait to see the unit run.

[@bookworm67-hv7nm]

I like that you tell your watchers to cover it's your natural safety of other's bless you

[@marksmithson1414]

It's pretty cool that your brother and you are together. People can finally see that there are 2 separate people not just you acting. Lol. I always knew that you had a brother that looks like you and sounds like you also.

[@raymieperrin5611]

sorry for your loss .be patient you will get it i will watch whatever you put out love the content

[@jamesbigham9036]

Isaac walking away when you get aggravated is smart to relax so you can calm down. I know you will get it figured out

[@dirtracinfool]

Sometimes the best thing a person can do is to, stop, walk away, clear the head and then get back at it. Still a Cool project!! 😎👍

[@-Viceroy-]

You know. The line between a genius and a crazy person is pretty fine. And you sir, are pretty far on the crazy side of the line. ...and i like it

[@davidkilbourne5422]

Issac I Hope you and YOURS Had a great Thanksgiving! Won't be long Till you get her running!

[@richardbrady2818]

Ike, CHILL, you got the rest of your life to remedy these problems, gonna be OK

[@jimciancio9005]

So sorry for your Loss to your Ike and your brother there on top of the family in general man. It definitely sucks to lose your old man, I just lost my mom and dad this year only a few months apart....... So I definitely feel your pain and loss of a parent. Otherwise good luck with your GMC Onvoy project Lol. I've been seeing lots of people taking their original inline 6s from these and slapping on a turbo and these things make some sick HP #s cheap and reliably! Just a FYI. The inline 5 I had in my 04 Colorado Extreme with a manual 5 speed was built by Isuzu for GM and everything was indestructible! I beat that poor truck since first sitting in its seat at the dealership lot and with almost 200k later and being street raced almost on a daily basis at some point, all I ever broke once was the damper springs in the clutch. That's how I found out it was all Isuzu parts when I did the new clutch. Hands down the most bullet proof and reliable GM product I've ever owned! Unfortunately GM probably figured out where to cut costs and have been looking for engineering Obsolescence to take place just in time for the warranty to expire! 😮 Na, they'd never do something like that??? SMFH! Criminal MoFo's man! I was a technician for Saturn and saw the products first hand on what GM was capable of producing! Was stomach turning sh1t! These brand new vehicles off the delivery trucks were leaking antifreeze and sometimes oil through their garbage cheap aluminum castings. They'd leak literally through the aluminum and their service flash on each and every PDI was to add a bottle of Barrs Leak to the cooling systems. Never saw such a hack in my life! 🤢🤮 since then my GM outlook has been going south! They're a shell of a company anymore and their products for the money they're charging is absolutely crap anymore! They can all suck it hard at GM these days 🖕🖕😘

[@mikerosing8202]

Sorry for your lost Isaac. Love ur videos.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

I appreciate that

[@gearhead2017]

Isaac I feel your frustration,as a mechanic by trade it sucks to work on an engine and you do all the work and then you try to get it running it doesn't want to cooperate and be stubborn lol,this saying comes to mind,patience is a virtue,it'll be fine

[@051570orion]

Totally understand your frustration , for me I don't have a lot of time and when I have a vehicle down , it's really stressful to have something to not work out and have to let something sit till I can make the time to resolve the issue, it's taken me a long time to almost have my transmission done so I can finally install it , with family, work and everything else I have going on it's difficult to stay on and complete things like I want to , but that's life. Just gotta step back and roll with it more often than we'd like to ,. God Bless and hope you don't let the daily struggles overwhelm you.

[@taurota1554]

awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@rahrahrah4045]

[@ericwilson2585]

Wow. I couldn't even imagine what it's like to have floods on a regular basis. But it must be better than living here in "da nordern mitchigan eh". Here if the car is older than 12 years old it's pretty much a rusted out hulk. Not to mention the 3 feet of snow for 4&1/2 months of the year and temperatures below freezing for about 6 months of the year also.

[@Atthebackdoorish]

What the heck?! Watching you on cars and cameras for years and just now finding out you have a brother that looks and sounds like you? lol

[@bobmanzi7712]

Great stuff thanks. You think it's Hard now, crawling under a car. Wait till you're my age. But you're right I still do enjoy it

[@twocvbloke]

That starter sure chose its' moment there, conking out at the last hurdle like that... :S

[@versatec1]

It's funny watching you and your brother together because you both look the same and sound the same, you must be twins! 😊😊

[@paulweigle6872]

Lol. I know the feeling, best to walk away and revisit at another time. By the way, do the Chevette!!!!

It's so mutch fun to put different parts of cars together and see what works. And hay AMC motor Corp did the same thing and it worked 👍😃

[@nielsdebakker3283]

An older engine in a newer car would not fly here on the other side of the big pond. The car would fail its registration approval.

​@@nielsdebakker3283In some states here in America it wouldn't as well.

IHC used components from many sources. my scout II has a torqueflight 727 from the factory - and it works! also, the distributor on that IHC 345 is from a Chrysler industrial 318 motor (hint if you're thinking about upgrading to more modern ignition and you cant figure out which dist you need)

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Same to you!

[@1982HondaATC70]

Left you a comment on the CR500 build you are doing. Those Keihin PJ carburetors have their own unique way of adjusting the idle. There is no idle screw like you guys are used to, you turn the knob on the choke lever to adjust the idle. Look closely on the carburetor under the choke plunger and it's written there on the carb body. In your first video from months ago when charles was cleaning the carb it appears you are missing the top of the choke plunger you would normally turn to adjust the idle. Not sure if you tried that yet?

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

We did it

With age, not only does it take twice as long to do what used to take minuets. If that's not bad enough just wait for the short fuse / anger issues. Thats when being a mechanic gets fun.

If you're using an Envoy fuel pump from the gas tank did you hook up the wire that goes to the distributor for to tell it when it's the tachometer side so the pumpkin stay jubilated through the relay

[@jeffreypepple3198]

And a fuel pressure regulator set to 7lbs for the carb...factory envoy is roughly 40 to 50lbs

[@ronme68]

The carb probably just needs the passages blown out. It is is a Rochester 2 jet unless the gaskets are totally rotted out or torn in the wrong places they just work. This is the first time I have seen / herd the moment a starter bendex died. I have found them dead but not herd them die.
