Thanks. The car has a whole lot of different stuff now. When it gets warmer I'm planning to do another update video. Car has the ram air hood now. 3" true dual speed engineering exhaust. Car was done. We started it and sounded great, midway into revving it up the transmission made a woo noise when I'd rev it. Come to find out my dumb ass bought the wrong torque converter for my transmission. I accidently bought a 30 spline torque and these 3.8 4l60e transmissions have 27 splines on the stator. So make sure if your reusing a v6 transmission with the V8 bellhousing that you buy the right torque converter. The project was finished and now that set me back a bit. Oh and my Oil pressure sensor was puking down the back of the block so I had to take the intake off and replace the sensor. After we get it back together it will run perfectly. It sounded mean.
So the V6 cars have 2 lines, the V8 uses one, so you have to buy a c5 fuel filter/regulator, those 2 lines hook up to the filter, then one single line goes from the filter to your fuel rail. That 3rd line is for your charcoal canister that goes to the side of your intake by your throttle body.
Because there's not a lot of room, Unfortunately GM designed these cars for the engine to come out of the bottom like a hungry hippo, I've seen it done but its more of a headache cause of the angle it has to come out and go back in and youd hate to damage any lines or smash your oil pan, bottom is the way to do it with 4th gens. The picker has 1 strap with 2 hooks on the end and I hooked them on each side of the bay frame, the wall ledge right under the battery there. So when you lift it, it's evenly lifted. If you have 2 heavy duty wheel dollys you can get one under the oil pan and the other under your transmission, you can lift the body off the engine and it will roll right out, if not your going to have to wiggle it out side to side with another person. It isn't a over night swap, it took me $6,000 and a headache in never ending parts plus 3 years of build time. and im now just to the point where I can start it up. Mine still needs the fuel pump swapped out with the V8 one and I have to yet buy the dual exhaust for it which is like 500 lol
It's been so long I don't know If I could find the exact seller. But they are called Speed engineering long tube headers for LS1 Fbody. The only trouble you will have with these is the lower steering shaft clearance. One of the header tubes on the driver side sits on it. And that's when with raised Spohn motor mounts.
I've done a bit of change since this video. I did accidently put a 30 spline torque converter on the V6 transmission which has a 27 spline stator. Now I have to replace the torque. So be sure to get a 27 spline torque converter if using the v6 4l60e.
Thanks bro, it's definitely gonna be one of a kind. It will also have the Rolls Royce Fiber optic Star light in the T-top headliner. The Tailights are Infinity mirror Tailights, red underglow, red interior LEDs. There's many more videos to come. The racing Videos will be fun, I'll be out hunting for Challengers, Chargers, Corvettes, cadi CTS-Vs, 6th gen Camaros, Mustangs and any Ricer that thinks it's fast enough to give The Hellbird a Run for it's Money. Now Turbod V8s don't count, that's cheating I don't have that...yet. 😂
Nice work man
Nicely done. New subscriber.

Did you use the v6 fuel lines ? How did you set that up
So the V6 cars have 2 lines, the V8 uses one, so you have to buy a c5 fuel filter/regulator, those 2 lines hook up to the filter, then one single line goes from the filter to your fuel rail. That 3rd line is for your charcoal canister that goes to the side of your intake by your throttle body.

Why didn't do you install on top? Also what did you have the cherry picker tied too on the car? Looking to do the same swap

@@thehellbird8946 really enjoying these videos, also you are doing a great job answering questions. Keep up the good work man!
Do you have the link for the long tube headers you bought on eBay ?

Where did you get the wire harness from ?
Ebay. Alot of my parts came from Ebay including my k member, intake, throttle body, LS1 accessories, speed cluster,
@@thehellbird8946 thanks for the info man
I have the v8 k member wat mounts do I use?
98-02 mounts?
@marteezjackson7545 yes. I used spohn raised mounts for the 98-02
You wanna make sure the K member is from a LS. Cause the holes in the frame are different as well. So it's gotta be a k member from a LS 98-02
Hey what's ur Instagram cool build planing to do the same
Unfortunately I don't use Instagram at the moment. But feel free to subscribe. I try to post often as possible.
