    Just pulled my 03 yukon 5.3
    Not sure if it's flex?
    V something injectors.
    Which holes did u settle on the mounts?I'm planning on using the 4l60.i was told I wouldn't need to cut the tunnel.
    Same pans in the mail.
    Stock rear still.
    What'd that axel come out of?
    Lti is kinda like too much info for my old mind.i should mail u my harness!
    I'd wish? For cruse,ac?mines by war.not cable.mines a Malibu 67.i like that tank too.
    Mines rusted away!trunk too.

    • @evansautomotive307
      @evansautomotive307  2 роки тому

      You probably dont need to cut the tunnel if you get it in there just right. I used the 2nd from the front holes on the bracket. The front holes mount the engine too far back. You might get away with the 3rd hole and not have to cut the tunnel.
      This rear axle came from a 68 or 69 el camino, same as chevelle. Its a full 2 inches wider so 1inch on each side. The swap is definitely worth it. AC needs a special bracket to put the compressor up high on the passenger side. Cruise control would be easier on a drive by wire system. Rad was put in the car over 10 years ago. Pretty sure its just a generic aluminum radiator for the el camino. Keeps it under 190 degrees

    • @stevepope5484

      So it's farther back.

      The pulley worked well. Had to space the pump out a bit to make the belt line up. An 8.1 would be crazy! Make a video when its done!

      Oh yeah, we did a bunch of mods to it. Its only the stock shortblock. The vortec heads and long tubes went on in like 2014 when we put the 200r4 in it. Sorry if it was confusing.
