Awesome man
Damn...Great vid.
+Josh Williams Thanks Josh!
Neighbors must love you.
My buddy just did a 5.3 liter swap and is gonna be shredding the frick out of some tires this Saturday.
A burnout and 3 square body's in the driveway.. That's where id wanna be! Great vid man!
Nice man that was badass
+William perez Thanks William!
Holly bloody burnout
Hands down the best burnout that I've seen in a while
Thanks Beige Wonder!
Beast
Nice way to finish off some old tires! I live local to you. I'm about 8 miles north of hsv. I got a 84 C10 with a cammed 4.8 swap. I actually have a set of wheels & tires for sale you might be interested in.
Cool! Whats your name. Maybe we've met? Are you on our FB group page "A Gear Head For Life"?
the neighbors were peeping through the blinds by the driveway lol
I feel you man building mine to go after a tundra he talked bad about my chevy
+Rick Wilson What year and powertrain Chevy?
+AGearhead4Life 84 chevy shorty 355 no power yet getting ready for that after I lower the truck and replace the locker and gears
+Rick Wilson Ah yea, gears and posi will help out a lot. A good stall converter will also.
I see 3 c10’s I’m jealous
BITCHIN !!!! I had an 84 but she never did that..That's Cool Project Truck...Great Job on the Video...
Damn thats awesome, wonder what the neighbors thought. Nice truck, cool videos, thanks for showing the power of your builds.
I did that with my truck. Then i woke up and realized I was just dreaming
Gearhead sweet burnout.Do you have a line lock on the truck.One more thing gearhead what about a disc brakes on rear of the truck that would be a cool project.Keep on wrenchin.
Thanks! batbat! No I don't have line-locks. I've considered a rear disc conversion, just havent decided yet. I'd like to do the LS1 rear brake but I need to make sure that my 15" Ralleys will fit over them.
What size tire you running sir# awesome burnout
So... that's how clouds are made... Nice.
Marshall....I don't think we have met. I'm on hsvracing forum with the same name I have on here. I don't get on there a lot but every couple days. I don't do Facebook lol. I almost ran into you at Larry's pistol & pawn the other weekend. Saw your truck in the parking lot when I was leaving lol.
Ah ok, yea, I was breaking in my new carry Glock 26 that day, back in the range. I usually try to go to Swan Creek. If you're on FB, come join our group "A Gear Head For Life" and talk shop, if you havent already.
Also, I've got a FB blog page where I post up lots of pics of all this stuff at "AGearhead4Life".
badass burnout man been subd for a while. and what color blue is the truck again?
Thanks megafoamy and thank you for the continued support! I wish I could answer the blue color question. I have no idea. I get asked so often, I guess I need to get a color code or something.
AGearhead4Life wow thats a awesome smokey burnout do more video's.
Haha never mind on your outher video i posted on haha
haha
best way to undercoat your wheel wells :D
I wanna see a all out driving video! Lol shes running good now. Maybe stall it one day i would lol. 3200 stall
I've got that one of punching it up and down the road a bunch, but I' need to get some on the freeway running some other cars. Yea, I was trying not to stall it since this is my mild build as a daily driver, but I'm itching pretty bad for a 3k stall right now. What ever stall i go with I have to make sure that it won't have a problem towing my Camaro across country when I have to move soon.
that is beautiful
should put black mirrors on her thought
Thanks! Yep, that's on the list of things to try out. I've got some black plastidip for the mirrors to see what it'd look like. Just haven't made the time to do it. I also have the smaller sport mirrors that I'm considering using. Also will likely black plastidip the bumpers too.
Yea i love the old box body styles so beautiful....i have a pretty much stock 94 1500 z71 ext cab she's got the 5.7 got the red interior everyone hates.... but i love it :)
cool man!
+AGearHead4Life yea good talking with you man.... i didnt expect a reply...usually dont get them lol
This video deserves more than a thumps up!!!
Thanks Joe!
My goodness daddy didn't buy those tires lol!
Hey AGearhead4Life I just recently subscribed and love the vids. I personally LOVE 87 Chevy's,and am looking to buy one. Do you have any suggestions on where to look and what to look for.(Price does not matter)
It will also mainly be a drive around truck but am looking for so horses under the hood.
I like that one in the back what is it like a 73-74.??
fuck yeah dude! that things fucking bad ass!
+Jeremy Palm Thanks Jeremy!

+Jeremy Palm Awesome man! Welcome to the show. No need to try, do it.
Time for a rematch with Taurus and his Dodge Charger?
+kjsarjent YEs it is! But now he's got a Trailblazer SS. I'm trying to line that up.

lol watch firetrucks show up, because your neighbors call 911 saying your house is on fire
G N A R ! ! !

What exhaust do you have installed?
I have a c10. I planned on keeping it stock but damn it sounds so good with an LS.
My absolute dream vehicle man! The color, the motor swap, everything! You lucky son of a bitch, enjoy it, haha!
lol Thanks Lamar! Build it! You can do it! Just takes time and patience.
Yeah man, still a student so I have a few years until I can start to build it but it will happen! Cheers!
AGearhead4Life u definitely got it goin on brother. what u got n tha other C10s u got keep in each other company? I agreed with tha other comment u are ah lucky bastard but hard work and determination pay off. Keep tha videos

dirty sanchez Thanks Sanchez! I dont know how lucky I am since the last truck I built was stolen. But that's ok, life is good. Just gotta move forward. Like you said, hard work and determination will make it happen. If you want something, make it happen.
Those other trucks are two of my friends trucks. This was at my buddy's house.
AGearhead4Life I'm fix in ta start another budget build I'm lookin ta push like about 7 ta 800 hp I would respectfully like ta hear ur opinion on maybe getin ah ls 3 or ah 6.0 in ah 84 like I had
Thats cool. I would hate to be your neighbor.
Now that's what I've been waiting for!

.
Four cam angles...you da man
haha Thanks man! I was trying. Luckily I had soem friends there that were ready to help.
And no more skeeters :D
Hey mark howd you setup the shifter linkage on the c10 with the schoenfeld headers and 4l80e? Thanks
hahahaha badass man! now you have successfully undercoated your wheelwells, two birds with one stone!
haha I should have titled this video " DIY How to undercoat at home".
"computer generated DIY undercoat your truck for free"
can we get some video of the late 70 ds truck behind your
+Jason Tilley Yes we could. He doesnt live far from me. I'll put that on the list.
Neighbors , for the win!
There a version without all the edits so we can hear it all in one go cause IT SOUNDS SO GOOD
Good way to start my morning 😄
Sounds like there may be a turbo on there
daniel pollock Not yet! That was likely the metal in the tire that you’re referring to.
That's how it's done! love it
+Luis Bejesus Thanks Luis!
AGearhead4Lifewell deserved your welcome. Keep up the good work. Your very inspiring. My back is screwed up but I have a buddy doing an ls swap on my 95 suburban. God bless.
+Luis Bejesus God bless brother! Thank you! It's great to hear feedback like this. It's motivation to keep on going.
What makes this motor get to higher RPMS faster? The 5.3 in my 2015 silverado and other dynos I've seen using 5.3's has such a long drawn out power range. Im looking for a cheap 5.3 for my kit car.
But I want quick power range like this... What makes it push power faster than everyone elses that takes 15 min to get up to 6k...
+NoOneImportant556 Well, I never thought this one got up there that quick. There are quite a few things that can make that happen though. Rear gear ratio can help, a stall converter would make a HUGE difference in that too. Maybe its the cam and higher compression ratio of 10.6:1 that I have. I'm not sure. I never thought this one revved any quicker than another. I actually thought it was kinda slow because of the heavy 80e trans that I'm running. Its first gear ratio, low factory stall and weight usually slows a motor down and eats some power.
I recently installed a 3200 stall converter and it'll get to high RPM's (where the power actually kicks in) five times as fast as what you see in this video.
It sounds like it gains RPMs a lot faster than some of the other videos I came across. I know it wont rev like a 4 cly motor but some V8's ususally can peak RPMS quick. The 5.3 just luls out a little in the power band it seems like.
I figured it was related to cams, gearing, dig and weight. But I just wanted to ask. Seeing you actually built one. Where mine is all speculation lol
I was set on a 2JZ with a double turbo set up.. But the 5.3 and LS line makes such easy cheap power.. It's so hard not to. Especially when you're building a tube car with no dimensions or motor mount restrictions.
It's all still just a pipe dream. But as soon as I pay off my 2015 silverado I'm going to start the kit car. Just trying to get an idea where the hell I want to go with it and motor I'm going to build around.
+NoOneImportant556 Yep, sounds like you've got the idea, there in your second paragraph. Yea, the LSs are too cheap, dependable and powerful to go another route.
That's one way to knock the tits off a new set of tires. ha ha
+MrZ281980 haha
What color is that? Candy blue?
That burnout earned a sub!
did u go with the whole drive train
For the LS swap? Yea, I use the LS engine and a 80e trans.
lucky rubber on fender didnt catch fire happened on freinds ride fucked up his paint on lower panel
awesome makes me miss my 85 c-10 had i know about ls swaps earlier i prob would have kept it.... :-(
Ayy man i was wondering if you could help me out. I am wanting to do a 5.3 swap. Im In the process of looking for a 5.3 right now and i need to know what to delete when flashing the computer. I know i need the VATS turned off. And i need all the emissions stuff to pass denver colorado emissions. If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time. Love your vids man.
Thanks wrecked! the options of what to turn off will be listed for you by the tuner and theyre all optional. So its up to you. Some ideas though would be to raise the rev limiter to ~6800, disable the speed limiter, bump up the timing and have them set the trans shift points for more performance if you'd like also.
thanks man that helps a lot... and sorry about the hood of your truck,
AGearhead4Life i was wondering what size fuel line do i need for a 5.3 swap
wrecked1582 I use the stock fuel line thats on the truck. Then I use the EFI rubber hose by the foot from a parts store to connect it from the hard line to the rail. I don't remember the two sizes. 3/8" and 5/16" maybe? Also make sure to double high pressure hose clamp each end if you do it that way. I have pics of some of this stuff on my Facebook blog page.
AGearhead4Life Thanks man. I appreciate the great advice.
You must have the coolest neighbors? LOL LOL ...
lol Thats at my buddy Jason's house and I'm glad he's got cool neighbors! Good times
Puttin' a new blacktop drive way down? lol! That was b.a. burn out. I give it a 10 out of 10 my friend! Bet your loving that new posi in the rear.
haha I warned him that it'd leave a mark! lol Thanks Shawn! Yea man, love that posi!
So how did you wire your swap harness to the neutral safety switch in the truck? I looked at my truck and there's not one on the trans.LOL (should have been the first thing I checked) .. Feeling a little stupid now..
I didn't have to wire any neutral safety switch. Usually that's on the car itself and not part of the swap. All it does is stop the continuity from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid.
Okay buddy, now get the push broom and get busy. lol
lol Yep! Basically, but worth it!
you should line your truck up! then make a new video of it!
+Brandon Alvarez It's a daily driver. I doubt I'll install line locks. The Camaro build however will likely get line locks. I will do a new video now since the 3k stall has been installed. It lights them up much quicker now.
+AGearHead4Life. love the videos man 👍 I have a 76 chevy c10 I'm trying to fix up, how low is the your truck dropped? I wanna lower mine but don't know how many inches to lower it ..
+Brandon Alvarez Thanks Brandon! Mine is dropped 4.5/6.
+AGearHead4Life. where do you order all your parts from? I can't seem to find any that I'm looking for ..
+Brandon Alvarez Anywhere that I can find them. It just depends on what I'm looking for. The internet is awesome for parts hunting.
Pure awesomeness! !
Sorry to bother you again. So what did you do with the neutral safety switch wires from the swap harness? And how did you get the speedometer to work since the speed sensor wires into the swap harness?
Same answer I gave on your last post. I didnt have to wire a neutral safety switch and dont know why you do. Speedo is one wire on the LS harness. Run it to the one wire on the guage. LT1swap.com tells you wich wire it is on the LS harness.
Damn Hella clean truck bro love them chevy I have a 86 chevy stepside I love watching your vidz bro makes me wish I had a swap in mine I have to smog mines shit sucks but I love the original block and the ls motors
Thank you brotha! You could swap the smog stuff in with the LS engine. I'd have to research the rules in CA on all of that though. It'd be a cool challenge! I've got a buddy over there that has a LS swapped 80's Camaro. So I know there's a way.
That was the shit
good stall and a small hit ,i will throw the whole house at the tundra
i dont feel bad for you neighbors. if i were your neighbor id be sittin back lawn chair and a cold one cheering you on!!!
Beautiful..
Now that's a burnout.
Ya buddy i
im hitting the bone yard to look and see what I can find thank you for the input
What did them poor tires ever do to you? Lol.
lol
that was awesome
hey brother I have a 83 im working on as of now It has stock brakes what can I do to put dic all the way around with out changing rim sizes
+William Swanson hey hey! You can just put a certain year of Cadillac brakes on the rear. Someone makes a bracket to fit them to our axle housing. I believe the kit to do it is on ebay for about $300. It fits the factory wheel.
Hey man sorry if you get asked this question a lot, but would you mind telling me what size tires and drop you have on your truck?
+John Moose Yep! lol But sure. Its a 4.5/6 drop and 275/60/15 tires.
Howdy Mark, I just have to say; !!! THANKS !!!
What engine mods?
Now thats what i call a burn out!! Fuck yeah!!
Keep on skinn'n knuckles!
what tire/wheel size are you running?
Now that what I'm talking about!!! :D
ALL that over heat the trans
That's why I made sure to use a trans that I could abuse. ;) Plus, you must have missed the large e-fan cooled trans cooler on the front.
HEY I GOT A QUESTION I GOT A 82 CAMARO Z28 I DO A SWAP ON IT COUPLE MONTHS BACK N NOW I GOT A ROD KNOCKING WAT CAN I DO TO FIX N A BUDGET
First, I'd verify that its a rod knock. Theres a few other things that can sound just like a rod knock, like lose flex plate blots.
HEY WAT KIND OFF CAM U RECOMMEND ME FOR MY 5.7 VORTEC I DONT WAT NOTHING BIG SO
victor chavelas Gen 2 style block(non LS)? Well what is too big will be a measurement you can only make, but what I'd suggest either search around to see what others are running and if it does what you're looking for. The best thing to do would be to call you choice of cam shop, like Comp, and ask them what they recommend for you and what you're looking to do. They use to getting calls like that, that's what they do. It's been a while since I researched SBC cams and I dont have any in memory to recommend at this time.
I WAS THINKING LIKE A ZZ4
victor chavelas yea, that's an option. I've not used that cam before. Just make sure what cam you chose wont need a stall converter unless you plan to do that too. But that's usually going larger then normal and probably larger then you want.
has the truck been to the track what numbers did it run quarter mile or eighth
+Rick Wilson Nah, it hasn't gotten a chance to get to the track yet. Too many projects going on and any free time that I get, I go to the garage and wrench. Since this video, I have installed a 3k stall. So, it should move off the line better now. This truck is just my daily cruiser and I don't aim for all out speed, just some. My '92 Camaro is the one being built for speed.
Need a bit a bit of advise. I have a 85 c10. 350 motor and trans. A guy told me not to do a pos. Track rear, but change the gears and put a locker on if I want both tires to turn but release when I make turns. What's the best set of gears and locker to get for my rear?
I'm not sure what locker he's referring to. Most lockers that I know stay locked all the time and that really sucks when turning. I prefer to run an Eaton Detroit Truetrack limited slip unit. It's very nice and works great for a street driven vehicle.
I've welded up my rear end before and that was not fun at all to daily drive.
Best gear ratio is dependent on your tire size, purpose of the vehicle and transmission. You usually cant go wrong with a set of 3.73 gears though.
why didn't you go with the ls6 cam vs the TPS?
+Wiggy McCrackin Because I had a little more money to invest on this build vs my last build and the TSP cam will not only perform better but sound better too. IT's a little smaller than what I want though. I'd prefer a 224r but will likely use the 228/230 that came out of the 5.3 Squirter project since I already have it.
+AGearhead4Life cool. I have an LM7 5.3 that's in my 99 gmc sierra (late model). I've been watching your videos for some time. I'm not gonna use the 4.8 pistons because I'm probably gonna turbo it and add some nitrous. but I'm probably gonna port my heads the way you did. but I need to research between the cam that you chose vs the ls6.
+Wiggy McCrackin Yea, my cam would be the best for a boost build, especially with the 112lsa on it. The LS6 does great with boost. Boost will overcome the flow of the heads as well, so its not as need as it would be on a NA build. Just grab the LS6 cam and a turbo.
hell yea, bet the trans hated that though, and back brakes lol, but hell nice burnout those marks by mark will be there for a long time lol
Line lock? If not get one you just killed your rear breaks
Nope. No line lock. Don't use this truck for anything that'd need it often enough. I'll probably put it on my Camaro build though. Not worried about the rear brakes, easy to change and have a life time warranty.
What ecm are you using? I'm thinking about doing a swap and am wondering what I'll need for the wiring?
0411 PCM
What color blue is that
+Jae Taylor I have no idea. I get asked this a lot and I'm color blind.
heard anything about boring a 5.3 to 4.0 bore for 6.0 pistons?
I think that I read about it somewhere, but it was risky because it'd make the walls so thin. Boing it out to 3.9" LS1 bore is common though. I've got one like that in my garage now.
+AGearHead4Life i have a five three block and crank but the block needs like 3 sleeves
now lets get us a w on track
