Junkyard LS Hunting: Back To Sun Valley LKQ PYP For Swap Parts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Finally made back at Sun Valley LKQ. Today we’re not trying to pull a motor, but rather find a handful of very specific parts to complete two separate LS swaps that I’m currently working on.
If anyone is looking to purchase any sort of junkyard General Motors drivetrain please feel free to reach out. The way the market is going I am potentially going to phase out of “flipping” engines. I’m looking into going out and finding whatever engine/trans someone is specifically looking for ahead of time. This way I don’t have to pull engines, sit on them for months at a time, and then sell them at a much higher cost to make it all worth my time.
If it all works out I can go to the junkyard and film much more frequently, along with also having my engine turnover be much faster.
I have to admit there isn't too many guys that know what you do. You know the what vin to look for along with what years are what. It's sounded like me talking lol. I've been selling junkyard swaps for over 6 yrs now. Set them up on a stand and fire them up.(#1 selling point)I flash ecu myself and all that jazz.
What I didn't know was the rear swap from a van. PRICELESS!!! Keep up the good work. Subscriber foe-lyfe!!!
Awsome video! You are a wealth of knowledge You need to put together a book or something with all the vin codes and ls swap info from the different cars truck cheet sheet part numbers ext. Would be awsome
Bro keep this up and the subscribers will come. The amount of knowledge you have on these engines is insane. I know this chick on UA-cam that has a bunch of subs and I’m convinced she doesn’t really know anything about working on cars 😂
Keep this as a reference video 👍
holy crap my head is spinning from all this intake of knowledge
I try to warn people lol
I gotta re watch this and take notes bro. 😂
Travispedia! Once again you are the man! We are just finishing up the LS7 427 swap in the 83 S10. Rebuilt gm 427 titanium rods tooley cam triple disc stall built 4L80 9 inch. 1 7/8 longtubes 3" mandrel bent dual xhaust. Built in the 2 car garage like most real hotrodders. 2900 lbs. street legal. Thanks for the tips on rails and injectors!
Travis you should write a book on the LS swap world 👌I would buy it 👍
Other people already have lol
@Travis Black I guess you read them 😆 lol
You know your LS's. I'm guessing you must be a dealership mechanic.
Nope. I considered that career path back in high school but decided against it.
I just went to my local junk yards and found tons of GM goodies but I need to rewatch all of your videos before I start pulling stuff. You have so much knowledge! I love the vin info to save time.
My goal is to build a few LS’s on some stands, selling one or two to pay for the main one for my drift car build
Selling built engines is tough. You are pretty much guaranteed to not make any of the money back that you additionally put into an engine. If you watch the latest yard video I made I talk at length about being more of a “broker” rather than a “flipper”.
Thanks for the insight on 480s keep finding 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
It would be so cool to get a duramax running on the run stand
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
I wish I would of talk to you before getting my LQ-4 for my 1967 Chevy nova, great information on the aluminum blocks
Fun fact, Gm engine RPO codes have no -. They used to sometimes randomly (Like LT-1 or L-48) but they haven’t done that in quite a while.
The swap in my 82 c10 Squarebody is a 5.3 706 heads from a 03 Avalanche. Runs like a scalded dog. BP Automotive Harness. Stock everything except rebuilt turdL60e trans.
a bad day at the junkyard is better than a good day at the office. i paid too much for my 4L80
They just shot up in price at my yard. There’s a chance you didn’t.
Great job!!
Liked, suscribed and comment for the algorithm.
Vice grip garage did a hemi swap into a c10 i believe.. he called it the half hemi.. pretty sweet.. love your channel bro.. keep up the great finds
There’s actually a semi local guy to me that has a hellcat swapped c10. We’ve been meaning to collaborate lol.
@@travisblack417 you're very knowledgeable man.. I appreciate the content
Man I gotta go to a yard with you next MPMC!
All of those cars are soooo much cleaner then here in Michigan lol
I didn’t even show all of the American econoboxes littering the entire place. It’s race car central.
@Travis Black Oh I can only Imagine! Maybe I should drive my Big van out to bring back loaded with parts lol
Man i wish i had half you're knowledge on LS's lol
Gotta say, I missed the junkyard non-engine-purchase videos. More nerdery. Also wow, that's a lot of 900s.
Looking for a 5.3 gen 3 for a boat just motor no accessories I am in Sacramento
I have several. Send me a message on IG
I don’t think many people know about the 14bolt 6 lug I’m going to look for one now with a g80
The g80 makes no difference. You should pretty much always swap out the stock carrier on any gm axle right away. Get a real locker or posi in there.
At the yard today. Seen a L33, lock up but with 243 heads. Mozzied down further and found a LQ4 in a 3500 van. Should I grab the LQ4, swap the 243 heads and find a flex fuel rail and injectors? Or is that just nonsense on my part?
That sounds like the perfect combination.
Newby to engines in general. What is the big thing about the aluminum blocks?
It’s exactly 100lbs lighter than the iron version. Ive weighed every engine I’ve owned.
Do you do LS Swaps? Where you located?
Not for customers
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.
@@travisblack417 I upgraded to 2022 4 piston front brakes with steel braided lines
Is there anything good about a 4.8? Gotta be something..
Nope. The rods are too long.
Flat top pistons that's it. They can be swapped on 5.3 rods. Have same piston pin height and bore
@@jasonbrown4443 but even then it’s hardly worth it. If you’re swapping pistons around you might as well rebalance. If you’re rebalancing you might as well go with bigger pistons. If you’re going bigger pistons you might as well just start with a 6.0 block. It never ends. Also every single 5.3 after 2007 just comes with flat tops and floating wrist pins. Just get one that already has them. There was a flat top 5.3 iron block sitting at the front of the gate at the yard. I could have bought it for like $150. It still wasn’t even worth it.
Could have watched this for way longer
As long as people want to buy parts from me I’ll keep going to the yards.
That 2500 van with the 4l80e 8 lug axles not a 4.8 😂
That’s how they came. It’s either 6.0 or 4.8. It seems bizarre but that’s a way GM would bring down the MSRP.
I have LQ9 out of 2003 escalate I do want to swap it out for DBC what intake manifold would you use if it was your 6.0. Only thing I m add to it is long tube headers
The exact same one you have just swap the throttle body to a 99-02 cable style
@@travisblack417 thanks for the help you help me out in San Antonio Tx
How much do you get for a set of 36# e85 injectors?
And ss fuel rail?
How much do u sell the 6.0 ls for
