Hey guys! Hope you like the video, if you do be sure to like and subscribe for more! Also check out part 1 and part 2 for more tech info! Links in the description.
My question is, I have a 1999 Chevy Suburban with the same 5.7. Same set up basically, Do i have to get a transmission or can I use the 4L60E that came with the truck.
I literally have that truck but 98 mines loaded Silverado trim but only stock 350 vortec but it's new crate motor not fast but will drive another 25 years I bet maybe need trans in few years mines white want a nv3500 swap next and maybe a 4.8l or 5.3l If I can find a combo
I'm doing the same exact swap on my 1996 c1500. The main question is what exactly did you use to marry the lq4 6.0 to the stock 5.7 4l60e transmission? I'm saving for the 4l800e, but I want to get it going with the 4l60e.
Ik this video 2 years old but in cali there's truck shows about these trucks daily or not we still take care of them I have a 94 little by little im fixing it up
Really nice build and series of videos great info I’ve got a 97 2 door Tahoe that I’m going to swap an ls 6.0 into with the cam just have to figure out where my Vortech super charger will mount thanks again for the info
Lol I hear that man I hat wiring I'm really wanting to do the ls swap I've very mechanically inclined especially on older stuff mainly carb vehicles and tbi obs stuff just looking for help cause the wiring is a mess for me I'm thinking about the terminator x max the same thing yall used
Yeah for sure man I really can wait to do mine I'm doing the same with my trans aswell do u remember the adapter u used for the converter or the part number buy chance
From personal experience I'd upgrade your trans to an allison my buddy had a 6.0 with upgraded coil packs and a tuner and that mf blew 5 transmissions all were 4l80e 😂 fun truck though we got it up to 150mph on bad ball joints amd tie rods it was scary as shit but was definitely fun 😂
I have a 91 with the 5.7 tbi and a 5 speed. You think the 6.0 would work with the 5 speed? I know I'd have to find an adapter. As long as I dont get on it and try speed shifting, I'm not worried about doing that, just want more power for pulling. Btw my trucks 4wd and I have 4.56s, she does 70 at 2500rpm right now with the 5.7
@@sevirz13 Vortec is the name GM gave to the LS based engines that they used in trucks and vans, it started in 1996 with the Vortec gen 2 small blocks and carried over into 1999 when they introduced the LS based small blocks. Your 5 speed will mate to the LS as the bellhousing bolts are the same, just a few holes are added or missing, still works though. Flywheel and clutch though i'm not sure cause i used an auto.
I'm not sure if LMC has that sort of stuff, otherwise youd have to piece it from a wrecker I guess. Could be other outlets that I just dont know about.
@@edgarmanenche452 I bet you could make it work with the factory LS emissions. Throw the cats on there and what not. I'm not super familiar with the laws in Cali though.
@@miguelplascencia1798 bro you can do this but you have to swap out all the smog equiptment as well im doing it and got a quote for $4000 for my 90 gmc stepside

I'm doing a 6.0l lq4 and 4x4 upgrade to my 93 6.5l diesel crew cab dually 2wd
2 year old comment but why convert from diesel too gas when a 12V Cummins is infinitely better suited application silly goose
Thanks for info videos,hey I'm old and I still like doin this stuff. Putting a 4.8 into 93 short box 4 by 4.
That's awesome! The 4.great deserves love too. Lol
Bro I’m starting the same build this truck sound badass bro !!!✅

Love you guys keep it up! I'm planning on doin this with the same truck.

I think it should bolt right up but you will need a trans controller
I use my 2500 5.7 as my daily and that's about 600 miles a week !!!! She's a beauty.... if you ask me.
Ik this video 2 years old but in cali there's truck shows about these trucks daily or not we still take care of them I have a 94 little by little im fixing it up
yup we still got this one kicking around, now it has 4.10s and a 4.8L lol.

Let me know how that goes haha. I have a 95 2d tahoe that I've been thinking if getting a 6.0 for
Very nice sounding Bow Tie .... 👍
Redbird auto love the build I also have a 96 what was the toughest part of the swap cause I hate wiring
I'm sure he'll chime in at some point but I bet it was the wiring lol
Lol I hear that man I hat wiring I'm really wanting to do the ls swap I've very mechanically inclined especially on older stuff mainly carb vehicles and tbi obs stuff just looking for help cause the wiring is a mess for me I'm thinking about the terminator x max the same thing yall used
And I don't think he went over the fuel system was there and changes in that aspect?
@@chrisbalentine6521 no Its just running the factory fuel system. Works just fine for now, he will have to re do it when he throws a turbo at it.
Yeah for sure man I really can wait to do mine I'm doing the same with my trans aswell do u remember the adapter u used for the converter or the part number buy chance
What trans are you using? Did I miss it?

Right in Saskatoon? Hope I can see this truck rolling around then one day haha sounds badass
Awesome build guys

And I just saw yall went with the 6.0 LS, I was thinking about the 6.0 vortec, what's the difference?

@@Matt-df5fe whatd you put in yours? 6 or 5.3? And I appreciate the knowledge man
@@sevirz13 basically Vortec engines are Iron block, and LS engines are aluminum block. Couple of other tiny things but that's the jist.

Hey what terminator x max did you get ,there are a couple different ones
Great Job pm the truck. I was wondering where u got the AC bracket to put it in the alternator spot?
Find the user "Lextech" on the gmt400 forum. He makes the kit.
nice work tell me do you have to get a transmission crossmember or did you use the same one
Same one for the 4l60e. Will need a different one when the 4l80e goes in.
que tienes instalado en tu sistema de escape
22 inch Magnaflow, custom pipes, no cats
What wheels are those
Couple sask boys. Ok. On a scale from 1-10 how hard was it???
Damn i like the video I have a 1996 silverado wish u can work on it get her going again haha
I'm doing a 6.2 with fitech 4l80e do your 4l80e I'm concerned on what all I'm gonna run into

Ah cool that’s saskatoon!
What a/c and alternator brackets you using?

does anyone know where i could buy all of the interior for this truck. i would love to redo my entire interior!
I'm not sure if LMC has that sort of stuff, otherwise youd have to piece it from a wrecker I guess. Could be other outlets that I just dont know about.
LMC Truck has lots of stuff, not alot for the 95-98 interior. if you're after a different color they sell dyes to do your plastics.
Wheres part 4 ? Lol 😆 more stuff like this
I might come out of retirement this spring again lol.
@@redbirdauto1713 ahhhh I was waiting lol 😆 hope u do bro good luck
what kind of mileage does it get? i wanna put a 6.0 in my 95 k1500 but i need atleast 12mpg
Orion Petrie buy a Prius then
You should get 12+ with a good running 6.0, but would get better with a 4.8 or 5.3
Awesome!
Side pipes always and forever. Sounds great though.
Side exit in front of the passenger back wheel coming...someday haha
Do the suspension
Stay tuned for the 2/4 drop video!
Your wish is my command, check out the 2/4 drop video!
What year truck

@@redbirdauto1713 thank you
Will that motor fit on a 92 Chevy 👀
Yup
Ok Thanks man
Does this pass smog
It wouldn't. But we don't have smog testing here.
Thats crazy man I stay out here in California you think there any way we can make it pass?
Thanks for replying man
@@edgarmanenche452 I bet you could make it work with the factory LS emissions. Throw the cats on there and what not. I'm not super familiar with the laws in Cali though.
What cam are you running?
Summit Racing turbo stage 2
I wish I can do this to my 91 but I live in California
On the bright side, its warm there right now lol
Yeah my 91 k1500 getting 10mpg I think I'm the cause
@@miguelplascencia1798 bro you can do this but you have to swap out all the smog equiptment as well im doing it and got a quote for $4000 for my 90 gmc stepside
Jamal J.H they do the same setup down here in tx for 1400
@ Black Obs, need a company name and location for that $1400 swap in TX. Thanks
I bet the 5.7 needed a new spider injectors. They are shit the best of times
I had updated the spider in 2011. The old motor ran fine, it was just gutless haha
Just like my wife. It can get cat food and that's pretty much about it.
I’ll rate that chop at 8.35
Out of 10 I hope 😂
💪
Lol on circle drive saskatoon
Sounds factory until you realize it has a cam...
