Thanks for the information man. That's the most valuable thing around
4 min into the video, I like the way you take your time to explain ---- I do the same when talking to customers about their repair nice job man
If you use a griffon radiator, you don’t need to cut the core support. It fits perfect in the opening with 1/4” truck cap mounting foam.

Nice build 👍
do you think this works for a 91 sonoma too?
Appreciate you doing this for us, quite a few good time saving tips!
I love the header recommendation.
I've never seen that before, except with Jeep 4.0 manifolds. Jeep does it to keep the manifold, which is really a header, from cracking due to thermal expansion.
I also laughed when the trucker flipped you off right as you were filming him.
Thank you buddy my trucks coming along pretty good right now im working on it as I type this out lol. Pulling the drive shaft then soon the motor
Great tips Bro!
Thanks for sharing the info! ✌
Your truck is awesome I'm bout to start a lsx swap on a 91 4x4 s10 any tips and advise are greatly appreciated
Thanks for your knowledge 👍
Great video. Thanks
Bet it’s loads of fun can’t wait til I do it to mine
Thank very much I have all those issues now i know what I need to do thanks man u just made my day god bless u Keep it up theres more people that have the same issues but thanks for sharing your knowledge
Awesome man! Glad it helped you out!
@@LsBluu , out of curiosity, but have you also applied these things to either a GMC S-15 Sonoma or an Isuzu Hombre before, out of curiosity?
@@paxhumana2015 I haven't had first hand experience with it, but I would really say that the frame and everything is the same on the frame wise with the engine.
I'll be starting a s10 ls swap n3xt year I'll be checking back to your videos man I see the video is 3 year old but I hope I can find what I need
THANKS BIG GUY!
Good information.
Use a Corvette front runner setup on the front of the motor makes life way easier and you can keep the radiator in the stock location.
Awesome info
I’m going to be starting a l33 swap…. So I’m subscribed!
Thank you!
That is funny, I just read your hat in this vid. Springfield, KY I came from Springfield, MA
Nice tips
Middle finger was my favorite part lol
Totally forgot about him doing that. lol
Awesome info, thanks! I’m having issues clearing the firewall I’ll probably have to prop up the cab some like you said, thanks again!
You may need a whooping device to clearance a couple spots and bend the pinch welds in
Thanks man
I would like to do that swap in a Blazer and keep the 4X4 drive and suspension for street rod not drags. Pretty darn nice truck there. Great Tips, Dennis in Virginia
I have a 1998 chevy s10 4.3 4x4 5 speed 18000 miles run great for sale
I did the swap . Hamburgers ls swap pan , modified truck manifolds is what I found to work best . Got my mounts and power steering bracket from dirty dingo .
Also hooker black heart steering shaft and a/c heater box cover really helped
Great video and info... Question for ya what motor mounts and trans cross member you using?
I am running CPW 2.8 poly mounts and factory transmission crossmember that has been modified some.
I got a 2000 s10. Woth a 2.2. Everybody smokes me but. Im gonna do an 4.8 swap on it. But i was woundering did you use the same 4.6 computer or did you buy the plug and play wireing oh and the motor mounts ??? Plz let me knw so i can prepare
Just bought 1994 s10 with v6 vortec.saving for 540 hp ls gonna take me around a year to complete the build but can't wait for finished produck
I have a 98 Sonoma ls swapped. I’m looking for a wider set of wheels and tires for the rear. What size wheels and tires are you running ?
Fti. converters and TRANSMISSION s deland Florida..the best people and equipment for you ever!!
GREAT VIDEO MAN & I have a 93 s10 with a sbc thinking about going with this 5.3 ls I got how much think it will cost to cut my driveshaft
About 200 or less
Good job bro on the video did you still have to cut the cross member using the muscle car oil pan
No.
Im not a car guy but I really want to get in this, I have a stock 95 2.2L 5 speed if I were to put an LS motor in it would I need to upgrade the trans and rear differential?
I love this truck and I'm planning on a s10 project street/strip. I haven't decided if I want to do an old sbc or a ls swap. I'm not sure if you did a video on what it costs roughly for a ls swap + parts that would be awesome if you could or would. I fully understand if you don't want to put all your info out there or mods. But I'm just looking for a rough guess. I found a nice chassis with no engine or trans so less work for me.
Old school sbc is a little less $ and a little easier but if you put 3-5k in the engine and drivetrain with an LS you can make 500hp super reliably
Lovin my 2003 S10 with A 4.3L V6 With Cold Air Intake & 1” Raised Intake & A Positive Rear End, Its Got Some Jump Power To Take on A Toyota Tundra off the Line thru the 1/4 Mile Say Hello Tundra to you Maker Your Just too Heavy To Jump the Gun, Your Big I’m a Baby But Gone Byby💪🏾
@NATHAN LEE, that is nice, until you get he NASCAR spec Toyota V8 engine, then go beyond its stats, and it makes your ride look absolutely slow.
But Only Off The Line I Said A Toyota Tundra 5.7 Is Just Too Heavy off the Line My need To loose Some Weight Anyway too Heavy Jump some Weight Off and then Get Beside a S10 With Little bit of Power 4.3 with Small Mods Can Surprise youn💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I have a 1996 short bed stock rear suspension minus the overload spring with soon to be caltracs…what size slick can I install on a 15x8 wheel with ? Backspacing factory wheel looks like 4.5” backspace and appears I could move it in more…brand of slick recommend also, for weekend track visits only …thinking Hoosier or MT maybe 28-9.5-15 ? Thanks
Just subbed 👍 do you ever plan on doing the terminator x in the truck?
Thanks man! I plan to do that with the next engine.
Do you know you can put a pry bar in that water pump neck and turn it. It's just a steel pipe that's Pressed in and with enough force you can clock it any direction you want without cutting it
I’m using the ctsv pan but complete crossmember is cut out and chromoly tube welded across, and I was wonder if you could shed some light on driver side fuse panel n stuff mines all there still n want it all gone what needs to be done any help would be appreciated but it’s a 2001 tho.
i used my truck oil pan,notched the belly,works fine does stick down a lil farther,and i used the flowtech long tubes 1 7/8 went on pretty easy but they do wrap around the frame,but 450.00 vs 8,9,or 1200.00 lol works for me
I'll have to look into the Flowtech headers.
@@LsBluu man there pretty decent,build very well,cleared my factory steering rod with no problem,there long too, there even with the tailshaft on turbo 400
Great information project 94 SS 6.0 is about to get underway this weekend I only need to find a 3k stall converter yet
Get a 3600 stall. You won’t regret it.
@@LsBluu I'm running sum-8707 cam 3.42 rear gear trying to figure out how to send short video of it running
@@joecameron3406 Do you have instagram? Send it to me there @terrell.power
Where did you get your hood? I'm building a 2002 GMC Sonoma extended cab flare side any info would be appreciated thank you for your time.
Are you going to the no prep race next saturday?
Thanks sir for sharing your aggravation
Im getting ready to start a 02 xtreme blazer build, my boss has a bb settin the corner of the shop. Thinkin about maybe trying something with it and a glide to back it up. Any ideas on how it might fit
Probably going to be super tight and use those frame wrap around headers.
@@LsBluu i wonder if it would be cheaper for someone to build me a set or buy the crazy experience ones
what's the best headers for a 1st gen s-10
So does the stock transmission in these bolt right up to the 5.3/6.0?? I’ve got a 2.2L 5 speed manual 98. Very curious about it cuz I can get an LM7 or and old 6.0 for pretty damn cheap. I know the 2.2L’s are pretty much just an LS cut in half so very curious on the bell housing/clutch situation! Maybe I’ll do this swap over the winter if the 5 speed will bolt up
According to your hat you're in Springfield KY? I'm in Springfield TN. Do you have a shop that does swaps? I'm currently shopping around for someone to do my swap. I've got an 89 S10 with a 350 TBI currently and want to LS swap. A car accident has taken my ability to do a lot of labor intensive work on my own... I already have the budget, just need a shop that knows what they're doing and would like the job.
Do you do the 2.2 the same way as far as wiring as the 4.3 I got a 2.2 5 speed wanting to convert it to a 5.3 with a 350th trans with a 3000 stall easiest Way to wire it with out the transmission wires and will it work with out hooking them up to program the motor
Good tips all….
I wish I could find those headers I’m in the middle of the same swap and I’m debating on headman 45900 or flowtech has some long tubes out too.
I believe they got snagged quickly.
I am really considering building an s10 but as a student in school I would daily drive this, would this setup last a decent amount of time or should I just wait and settle for a boring reliable car/truck.
Mine has been on the road for almost 3 years and has done fantastic. As long as you take care of it, it’ll last you. I drive this ole truck everywhere.
Currently building a L33 5.3 out of a 2007 Buick Rainier and using a Hanburger's oil pan. The factory dipstick goes into the oil pan, the new pan doesn't allow this and I'll have to use the hole in the block. Do you think the stock dip stick will work and give me the correct oil level? Or is there a better aftermarket dipstick?
I am using the muscle car oil pan, and my dipstick is actually broken. I think a stock dipstick would work, but I think the oil level would be more than is in the pan.
Which engine mount setup did you use to fit the muscle car pan without a frame notch?
My mounts came from CPW. I use the muscle car pan without the frame notch.
Is the firewall openings the same between an AC truck and a non-AC truck? In other words, does the firewall have to be modified to install a non-AC heater box?
This truck was once an AC truck, the non AC box was a direct fit. No modifications needed.
I have a 02 LS 6.0 going in to an 89 s10 chassis. The problem I’m running into is that the power steering pulley is hitting the gear box. Any recommendations?
4.3 pulley
Hey when you installed your nitrous did you tee into your primary fuel line or did you run a dedicated fuel supply
Currently it is on coming from the main feed. On the old set up it pulled from the rail.
How did you wire the fuel pump
Which motor mounts re you using?
I have a red s10 with the same wheels still a 4.3 I haven't had it that long I'm just driving it and fixing small issues
How do you get the tbss intake to fit in there? I have one but it doesn’t clear the heater core lines
I just gently bent my heater lines to passenger side . But I also have a truck manifold
I have a 2002 s10 2200 engine can i use the wiring harness from a 2007 chevy 5.3 van
Did you have to do anything to the transmission tunnel when you put it in?
There were a couple spots that had to be clearances with a whooping device. And the pinch welds at the bottom of the cab and fire wall bent back.
Good 👍job
Would this all work for a 92 s10 blazer?
I have a 2002 S10 ZQ8 X-cab ready to do this swap...
#1 Why did you go with a modified Ford 8.8 instead of using a 8.6 S10 ZQ8 rear?
#2 Ive heard S10 Blazer gas tanks can be used behind the Diff w/ the Spare tire carrier removed...You know anything??
#3 Do you think there is enough room to retain the condenser in front of the radiator with the way you moved it forward?
#4 Ive watched your vids several times each..and hang on every word..because ive been intersted for several years in doing this swap. But everyone seems to cut their frames and crush the firewall to stuff it in..Dont wanna tear up my Baby!
#5 Congrats on making to the 10s..
S series trucks didn't have a 8.6 rear end. The biggest they came with was a 8.5 and that only came with the ZR2 package
@@beardedforlife3740 ..Sorry my friend, mine has the 8.5 Limited Slip diff with the Anti-hop shock. It was an option for these ZQ8 trucks. Or maybe mine is a unicorn, if you need to justify it in your mind with your information. But, I've never swapped the rear out of it..and it loves to spin both rears. Hence, the reason I don't drive it in the snow or rain. Bought a KIA for that shitshow.
Once you drill and tap the waterpump for coolant line, where do you run it if I don't run a heater core in my S10?
The little U shape rubber hose
You don’t have to drill water pump . You can t the vent line into upper rad hose
Did you still have two Notch crossmember for oil pan?
No. Have about 1” of clearance all the way around.
When using the muscle car pan do you still have to cut the main cross member under the oil pan
I did not. It fits nice.
@@LsBluu thank you for the quick reply
What yall think a late 90's model s10 with a clean 5.3 swap is worth? Everything works
My 1998 base model s10 came factory with the none ac heater box
What front coil springs did you use or can you use stock
I’m still rocking stock!
Did you notch your frame to fit the oil pan?
No
Gen IV truck water pumps are already a virtual spout so you don't have to cut it, just fyi.
Anyone find that oil pan?? I didn't see it on the jege website
I think that you accidentally inverted the header part number Headman shows that header as 45906. Killer video by the way
Yea I didn’t realize I got the number wrong until after it was uploaded. I may have addressed it in the description.
#LS=LOVESPEED
Does this apply for 1987 short bed single cab s10?
The majority of it yes, I believe the long tubes are a touch different. I could be wrong.
More ls swap s10 builds
What long tube headers are you using
At 8:34
What's the manufacturer of that hood? I want one...
Not entirely sure. I bought it second hand on a parts truck
Will 5.3 bolt to my stock blazer tranny??
5.3 is 2001 and blazer is 2002
Just need adapter for converter snout. It’s on Amazon cheap
What are you using for tuning?
HpTuners
@@LsBluu ever thought about going the Terminator x route?
Everyday. I think after this engine let’s go, I’ll put a Holley on and re do all the wiring.
@@LsBluu I think that's my route wanna do a s10 but I see no room for boost.
96 s10 4x4 what would it cost to swap?
I spent 4 doing mine . Just start doing it and buy stuff as you need it . I bought a bunch of stuff I didn’t end up using
Soo i can't have a/c if I ls swap my blazer
Yep you can. There’s a A/C box you can get from Hooker that makes a lot of room. And you can get some A/C compressor relocation mounts too. I follow lots of trucks on Instagram that have A/C.
Mines next
are you the owner of the xanax s10?
Never heard of it
@@LsBluu got u. Looked like yours had the same color as this one I saw on another video of s10s doing 11 second runs
GM muscle car pan = Hummer H3 pan.
Heat rises... you want the water going over not under your intake.....
Got a Instagram?
@terrell.power
Did just the opposite on mine I put the stock 4 cyl. Out of the s10 into my 2005 4wd ext cab long bed silverado dually with a work box and welder rig on the back, i get away with this using a 2 speed power glide . I'm running 25s in the quarter mile and get nearly 22 mpg, well worth the power loss.
There's stainless s10 ls swap headers on eBay for $99 and they are awesome i run then I'll NEVER pay $600 for headers
The only headers that are worth that are the Mid Length Hookers.

😂😂😂
If you don't want to get your hands dirty. I would say it's super expensive for the average guy. Separates the men from the boys
Yea you had a hot air intake in that picture. A lot of people make that mistake and think it looks cool. Take out a perfectly working factory cold air intake and put those gay conical filters right in the heat
