1972 Nova 1 Day LS Swap: BTR cam 5.3 And Built 4L60e
We’ve decided to redirect the 1972 nova that I showed on that channel all the way back in March of last year. The car has been sitting in another garage ever since waiting for its own powertrain. The engine were installing is a stock 2001 LM7 5.3 iron block with just a BTR truck Norris NSR cam. Cam specs are 212/22x 107LSA (I believe the exhaust duration is 224). My goal with this video is to show how straightforward a can swap can be if you plan everything ahead of time and specifically only use the parts that I personally recommend.

I finally acquired one of the holy grails of LS engines: an aluminum 6 liter. Although it’s not technically an LS2 it’s still just as good. Other than my personal 2012 Silverado I’ve really never messed with (running) gen 4 engines, so I’m excited to continue to experiment with this one. If anyone is looking for a used 2ML70 hybrid transmission please let me know. I don’t need this 300lb thing ...

I was contacted by a viewer and told that they had an engine that was hastily swapped out of a 2017 Cadillac Escalade and had been sitting on his shop floor for about a year. Someone guessed that it potentially “dropped a valve” but no one had any idea. I was hoping that maybe it just had a common AFM lifter issue and that I would score one of my dream engines totally free. Nothing in life ever...

How much do you want for the transmission? I’m currently in the middle of finishing up a build in my 09 Silverado hybrid, I would like to have a backup transmission so when the one in my truck goes bad I have one that we can pull parts out of to have performance parts made!! I’d like to see how far we can push this thing
I managed to already sell it. A dude drove up from Mexico.
yo I'm in on what you're saying I'm doing a swap and my 88 caprice wagon a d rebuilding a 5.3 lm7 2000 that I just took out my truck didn't all live so far thanks for all the info
How do you like this cam? I'm considering it for an LS1 Trans Am
What type of pushrods and lifters u went with?
Travis I'm looking for an ls 5.3 preferably 6.0 . Do you sell any?
Why would you take that very classic car and put the worst transmission Chevy has ever made I don't care how much you modify that 4L 60e it's garbage
@@michaelthomas788 the 60e is a phenomenal transmission what are you talking about
@@travisblack417 4L 60e is garbage and I worked on cars from 1997 until 2020
@@michaelthomas788 no it isn’t. It’s very small and light weight for an electronic 4 speed with overdrive. If you want something way bigger and heavier (slower) the 80e exists. The 60e is perfect for several of my personal applications.
@@travisblack417 700r4 is just as light as small but better and if you put a locker in it it's way better one of my recent builds was a 84 Pontiac trans Am blueprint 350 485 foot pounds of torque at the engine with a 7004 with a locker that car is pretty much almost unbeatable on the street compared to most cars that are street legal
@@michaelthomas788 despite supposedly “working on cars” you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. The 700r4 and 60e are effectively mechanically identical. All transmissions have their appropriate applications. No trans is inherently “better” than anything else without the context of the vehicle.
bought a 77 spyder ordered from the dealer cost was 5 grand back then
Glad i found this video. A local guy just posted one of these on FB marketplace. Looks like I should avoid it.
@@wvjeepguy8178 as long as it’s not expensive it’s worth it. These are the cheapest way you’re going to get an aluminum 6.0 block
@@travisblack417 he wants $1,500 for the engine.
What carb setup did you use?
@@brandywine1548 this is a QFT 750 mechanical secondary with a Holley high rise single plane
Sounds awesome!!
Do you have engines for sale
@@barryedmonds8456 always
Nice work my brother!!!! This thing is going to be nice when it's all buttoned up!
Well Travis you have running right now get posi in it and tack to the track!
One wheel peel, no joy lol. Get a posi or a spool dude.
It’s got an 8.2. As soon as it explodes it will get something better
Lincoln locker.
What a memory holy cow!!!
How much for you too pull one for me man
Sounds pretty good!
Do you think the 5.3 ls is a good motor I put one in my 85 Camaro and I just want a bad ass street cruiser that will light the tires up if I wanna ?
Hell yes.
@@travisblack417 I can’t wait to see what you do with the 5.3 in this nova I hope it stays N.A. lol
I appreciate u gang 💪🏾 Not too many left like you in the Car-munnity
Are 350 V-8s from before 1970 rare to find right now? how would you feel about having a carb/distributer engine from pre 1970?
@@Sonoma_Coast it’s not that they’re rare, it’s that the LS totally outclasses any small block. I have a small block in my el Camino (for now) and also in the Monza. The novelty of them is cool but you can’t beat the performance and modernism of an LS.
@@travisblack417 I'm old, so that's what I was using in that time of my life. Technology has Always been a struggle. You have quite the intelligence for it. But I'm getting an understanding. Hope you can make a good amount of money in the future. Maybe working as a Tech somewhere?
Good ole one wheel peel dude!! 💪💪👍👍
Glass packs on LS’s sound wicked, i have them both on my nova and c10……and they set off car alarms daily
I love my LS swapped nova so much i treated it to a LSA supercharger…..best thing i ever did to that car next to the rear gears and posi
ua-cam.com/video/9uFgooUD4IQ/v-deo.html I need the drivers door off the Blue Tahoe behind you!! Will pay!! $$$
Is that exempt from Cal. smog check to get it registered?
It’s a 72. 76 is cutoff.
@@travisblack417 Right on
@@travisblack417 That's cool you don't have to smog the Monza either. I came across your videos because I had a 1977 Monza Mirage.
11:00 the rockers are actually the same as 1.8 ratio LS7 rockers so they do have some value like the ignition coils. I am also building a Gen IV LS with a Gen V crank as they're basically the same as the 8 bolt forged LSA crank. Just need a 8 bolt flexplate/flywheel (unless dry sump LT1 Corvette crank).
Travis is back!!! 👍 I bought a 6.6 L8T! Do you want to throw a carb on it and fire it off? It arrives to me next Monday! Maybe use it for content?
@@racingdatasystems3708 I absolutely would but unfortunately there is no (easy) way to get it fired up on my runstand. We would need some LT1 to LS3 intake adapters, an LS3 carb intake (I only have cathedral), some LT1 headers or stock manifold+exhaust flanges, some LT1 motor mounts that are similar to the style I used for mounting LS’ on my stand, and most importantly I would have to figure out how to get the MSD box happy. The gen 4 and gen 5 motors have the same 4x/58x cam and crank signals but the sensors themselves are totally different. A few people have gotten it to work but it requires some ingenuity.
@@travisblack417 Let me see if I can locate a square port intake. I work with the owner of HP Tuners in professional racing. I'll see if he has anything we can "test" for the ignition side of the equation.
@@racingdatasystems3708 How do you plan on running the motor in your application? Tell Mr. HP tuners that I love his products btw.
@@travisblack417 99% chance it will be “Syvecs” their ECU’s offer the ability to integrate with *any factory CAN bus. They recently released a LS specific ECU. They’ve been able to run direct injection for 6-7yrs now. They are a spinoff of Cosworth.
Man, this reminds me of Autoshop in HS. Lotsa fun figuring things out. That was the 70's though, so no electronics, injectors, ect. just carbs and disributers. Did you get your experience from being in a family that did car work? or all self taught or mentors? I think you had Autoshop in High school.
@@Sonoma_Coast I did autoshop in highschool but 99% of what I know is from diving into everything headfirst and teaching myself. I’m the first “car guy” in my family.
@@travisblack417 That's great. I suspected you were self taught.
Please do a video or short on fitting the F-body oil pan on the LS. I believe there’s cutting and stuff to the splash pan that I’d like to see a “specialist” do. Thanks!
@@joncpeters I have several other videos where I show exactly how to install the Holley 302-2 pan
This would awesome 👌 can't wait to put one on my bagged hilux minitruck in australia only problem is the ls engines and trans here are way too much 😢
@@unknown_5925 you guys only got the aluminum motors lol. I feel like there would be a market for throwing like 50 iron 5.3s on a boat and shipping them over there.
@travisblack417 that would be a brilliant idea I was thinking doing the same shipping back any ls blocks, heads and complete motors as I can to help fund a month or 2 long holiday to the West coast of the usa
Hey bro it’s the guy from utah with the ls1 issues. Love the vids. Very motivating! Thanks for the chat the other day.
Best LS videos... on youtube
For the average joe on a budget…..yes MR.Travis is the best for down to earth LS stuff and not that over budget super high dollar B/S

Is it hard to swap a regular brake booster from a 03 Yukon to a hydro booster for better brake upgrade
@@RICKY-LSX don’t bother.
@@travisblack417 lol it’s that bad 😂
@@RICKY-LSX it’s not an “upgrade”. your brake performance is based off the size of the brakes themselves, not the style of the power assist.

@12:52 when he rolled the part on the dirty ground then threw it back in the engine 😅😅😅😅
When it goes in the RPM's i can hear a knock.
A rollin knock.
It sounds hurt
I almost bought one of these and then almost the newer one. I am doing a Ls3/6L90E swap in a 03'Crown Vic Police Interceptor. I almost bought 1 but I wasn't sure if it was a headache. I was looking for a 6.0 when I came across a L94 6 2L block for $500. Si I dropped flat tops and turned it into a Ls3. My first swap but not my first engine.
If you’re planning on swapping the cam then the AFM motors are really good motors to look for. 99% of the time the lifter failures are what take the vehicles off the road in the first place. All of the “cheap” LS3’s I’ve seen for sale are totally internally destroyed.
