My LS Swap Mistakes That Cost Me Thousands

This is why I always say that putting back what came in the car is ALWAYS going to be cheaper AND easier. If your car came with a 305 small block Chevy, put a 383 or 400 small block back in. Or if it came with a Pontiac 400, build that and put it back in. If you're not a hardcore racer, an LS is a waste of time. If you want an LS for the fuel injection, there are plenty of EFI kits for small block Chevy's. You can build a stout gen1 small block and daily drive the hell out of it. If you ask me, people go LS because they are either lazy, or don't know how to tune a carburetor or set an ignition curve in a distributor. People who can tune carbs are a dying breed.

Fyi…….im running a B.O.P. Th350 behind my 5.3 without an adapter plate….the two bolt near the dowels are the ones holding….the key is having both dowels…..ive been running it like that for over 5 years now and its supercharged!!!…….good video though , very useful info for the newbies

Buying a donor truck is the key to a cheaper swap. And do tons of research. Also buy a 3800 stall converter.

I am doing an LS swap project. 6.0 into a 65 mustang. The mustang still has the straight 6. I am just getting all the parts slowly then going to take out the motor and cut the towers. I am thinking I might get the 6cy running so that I can drive it while I am getting all the parts. It hasn’t run in 20 years, but I just got it in November. I poured gas down the intake with no carburetor and it ran for a few seconds. It’s just the extra effort of doing the fuel lines and getting a carburetor

Skip efi just use a blow thru atm carb. If you tell them your build they send you a running out the box carb. Very minimal tuning by checking plugs.

#E36 love what you're doing ❤Key advice with all builds don't cut corners without going shifting through them

You have a link for the blowthru carb you used?

Done a few. The most costly mistake of all is choosing an LS over a traditional 350

The best thing you did was just put it together, most people never get to drive their projects.

Good stuff bro

Lets gooo!!!! Ill ride with ya!!!!👍👍👍👍
