Just watched some over your videos I have been wanting to put an LS in my astro van for some time now have a 2000 awd just wondering how difficult this was and what all you had to change or modify any tips would be greatly appreciated
Jonamond, is this something your shop would do for a customer? I am saving up right now for a AWD Astro or Safari and want to lift it and drop an LS motor.
@@jonamond I bought a set of 2wd Ls S10 conversion mounts from Dirty Dingo Motorsports. They claim that using 3/8 shims between the motor mounts/engine and motor mounts/frame will set the LS in place nicely. I am going to give it a go. Did you guys drop the subframe?
I ended up using the Dirty Dingo mounts for an S10. It fit right in the van like it was made for it. I don't have the van anymore so I was never able to get the motor running in the van. Using the Dirty Dingo mounts it will not be hard at all to get everything running.
There’s no tuning options for what they call the “black box” pcm. We swapped it out for a newer “411” pcm which is tuneable with hp tuners. Then we scrapped all of that and went to a Holley terminator
rob williams just a pickup truck power train with engine mounts and trans mounts basically... very straight forward. Some little things here and there but not a big deal
We just made our own adapter plate with a rectangle 1/4 plate, drilled the holes for the block mount bolts and then drilled another set of holes for the 4.3 mounts, welded nuts and bolted it in the van
Very impressive build! 👍😎

Which engine
mounts did you use on your van? I have an 04 and I am researching which mounts to use.
Made our own mounting plates to use the Astro van mounts. Just a square plate bolted to the block and to ears welded on it to bolt through the mount

@@PhatBottomOutdoors happy to hear about the mounts but it sucks you never got to have fun with it
Did you use the stock astro computer? I'm a 350 guy normally so the wiring scares me. Thing sounds so sick tho!
