- I am not ready to start another project. BUT
Removing the ls4 from an Impalla SS for the V8 Celica GT-SS project. Found a car with ls4 for sale, cheap and close by ( 20 min away). Had to buy it, I mean how can you not buy it.... now what to put it in.??? What ever it is, it will be in the back, not front wheel drive.

at the brake module there is two brown and two brown and black wires for the highspeed lan network all you have to do is connect the browns together and the brown with black wires together to bypass the abs module
And now I know. Thanks.
This engine is now running on a pcm out of a 04 truck.
I am an impala s.s. fan and there is a nice warm spot for u for what u have done....p.s. one hell of a mechanic and stay away from my house
Thank you. Your house is safe. I haven't engine swaped a single house .... 🤔yet 🤣
Man your really good at this love the work I’m looking forward to engine swapping my v6 to ls
That’s Possible? I Came To This Video Hoping I Can Swap My V6 For V8
@@terrenceanderson4689 yes u can swap
Why
Your building my dream! Can’t wait to see this come along!
I feel you bro! SS are great cars and beautiful to those who appreciate them! 🙏🏼
Wow. The power train running without the car. That's something I never saw. Nicely done.
😁 Yeah... I had to do it for 2 reasons. 1 it's kind of cool to see engine running on the floor. And 2 I have not done an LS before so I wanted to make it run ..... to make sure that I actually could make it run🤷♂️.
And after all that I didn't even use the impala pcm/engine harness. I ended up using a truck pcm and modified truck wiring harness.
I did the same 'engine running on the floor' with my Celica Street rail. Good way to make sure you have all the pieces/parts to make it go.
Scott, the impala looks great man. Sorry to see it go, but glad you could use it to give it new life though!
🗣👋🏾THATS ALL I NEED TO KNOW !!! 😂 glad to see the success brother
👍 Starts runs .... moving to step 2 😁
Wow dunno why I thought cars ran on some kind of magic. This really demystifies it. Cool stuff!
Power comes from fuel vapors that are made very angry by electrons racing up and down copper wires, and magic 🧚♂️. I think lol
Oh man, I would love to put this whole powertrain and ecm, and wiring into a 88 fiero...
5:47 I never seen that before let alone of my car.. Cool
So cool. Looking forward to the swap in to the buggy.
Uhh 🤔hmm... well.. maybe🤔... no.. Not in the buggy/ rail. I'm thinking.... put it in something with doors heat and AC. I'll start the project soon (I hope lol) getting a few more things done on my truck project.
Shoot. Wanted to see it in a off-road car!
Thank you, this is exactly why im just gonna get a rwd with an actual tranny on it lol theres no way ima rip the whole dash out in my garage and do all that
👍 The only reason I tore out the whole dash is I wanted the complete wiring harness..... Eventually, I ended up using a different wiring harness and pcm(2004 Chevy Truck), so ya, it was wasted time in the end🤷♂️.

Get rid of the Afm system and rebuild the top of the engine around 150,000 the valvetrain is wore .GM stunk it up with Afm them engines have half the life of a 2002 ish 5.3 .You did amazing work most mechanics would be scared of this one.
It sounds healthy...nice
😁 no muffler. Sounds good
Was there something wrong with the Impala? It looked to be in great condition, even the tires were good. Would hate to detroy a perfectly good Impala SS even if they have flaws. Mine is fully built
@@ahmade.8142 nothing that couldn't have been fixed. But I was looking for an engine donor car.......
Have a 2006 as . Engine has fouled plugs on 1 and 7 .. a ritual of mine is changing them every 2000 miles
Too much fun..
Do you have to pull the wiring harness with the engine or can you unhook it all? And get away with the harness hanging out in the car while you work on the engine?
Yeah, you probably can.
Do you think you can help me out here ?
I have a 2006 LS4 that I put in a 2008 Chevy Impala SS and it won't turn on.
I doubt I could be much help. This is the only one I have ever worked with.
Can i put a Ls4 in my Buick Lucerne?
I don't know, maybe. I'm putting this one into a Celica, so anything is possible👍.
Can I do this for a GT40 project?
@alexanderpinto539 🤔🤷♂️ anything is possible.... well, almost anything.
Was wondering if this subframe would fit onto a 2004 8th gen impala
I don't know a lot about the impala. But my guess would be, probably not 🤷♂️.
I’m excited to have found this video! I’ll be yanking two Impala motors out for an upcoming project and I also planned to confirm everything operated properly before sending the rest of the cars off to the junkyard. I’m glad you mentioned the ABS thing. I imagine that would’ve been frustrating. Did you ever figure out how to bypass it?
I am using a truck wiring harness and computer. Also the intake and injectors. A lot of information about (truck) ls harness wiring and pcm pinout at lt1swap.com.
My wiring harness is not complete yet. You can see the start of it at the end of this video

@@TSRGarage That’s interesting! Are you not using the Impala transmission? And if so, does the truck harness work the trans?!
@@GarageFab Um well Ah... 🤔. Excellent question..... I wasn't thinking about that when I answered.
I've done a fair amount of looking around online and haven't found any definite answers on that.
What I have found is. The pin out of the 20 pin plug is different. From the pin out diagrams I've seen (not sure yet if I am right) some wires are in different pin locations/ have to be moved. Some wires have to be move to the 20 pin from the pnp (park neutral) switch on the truck. ( My transmission does not have the external switch). I am not sure yet if what I'm doing will work. Some other changes may still be needed.
I will show what I am trying (if it works) when I get this car running and moving. I don't want to be responsible for destroying somebody's transmission.
I really don't want to be responsible for destroying mine either... but🤣.
Let me add. What makes the results even more unpredictable is, I know almost nothing about automatic transmissions.
@@TSRGarage Hahaha!! Well thank you for taking the time to share all that info. It means a lot.
One final question, when you swap to the truck manifold, are you required to also swap to the truck harness?
My current goal is to get both drivetrains into the truck working using ALL of the Impala components. Once I succeed and the truck is drivable, then I’d like to venture into performance upgrades like the intake swap. Hopefully you won’t mind me bugging you once in a while.
Thanks again man! Maybe we’ll have to do some sort of collab one day. Cheers!
@@GarageFab I've seen videos of truck intakes on ls4 cars. Keeping in mind that I'm rather new to the world of ls. Learning as I go..... 2 things I can think of. 1st would be injector connectors. Or injector volume. Would the truck injectors play well with the Impala ECM? They probably would if the truck was just a straight gas truck and not flexfuel🤔. Or use the impalla injectors?
2nd the Throttle Body. Get an adapter plate and use impala TB? Or... May be able to repin truck TB to make it work with impala ecm? I'm not sure. But doing research I remember seeing something about repinning different types years of throttle bodies to work with different pcm's or throttle control modules. I didn't go down that 🐇rabbit hole because I didn't need to😂.
I got mine running and moving with all of the impala parts. Then I tore it all back apart and started over. About 7:30 moves under its own power ua-cam.com/video/8vvIulxwu0Q/v-deo.html
How many bolts does the trans have to separate from engine
Don't know the number of bolts
3.8 has 5 bolts so might be the same. There’s also 2 bolts joining the passenger side of the engine and trans
Look up LS4 king
Yes 👍 I have. Found LS4 king shortly after I started this Celica GT-SS project. Good info and parts too.
he didnt take the steering shaft bolt out he busted te intermediate shaft lol
Didn't need any of the steering shaft parts for rear engine project 👍.
I was wondering is there a Awd or Rwd swap it available for there years Impalas
None that I know of
I have a 03 Monte Carlo of course front wheel drive at the moment. What would it take for me to make it rear wheel, Mustang rear end?
A lot of work. Suspension mount points, raising the tunnel for transmission drive shaft clearance etc. ua-cam.com/video/R8lD9rYvZao/v-deo.html
@@TSRGarage what price you think it would be around to get it done?
@@babyal_1392 no idea on cost to have someone do it. 💲💲💵💵💵💵💲💲
I'm just wondering if I could swap one of these str8 into a 2000 Buick century w body?
🤔
@@TSRGarage hell yea.. I'd like to make a nice cruiser someday
Put it in a 2005 model impala I need a tutorial lol
👍 lol
Can you make a upclose personally video how to remove this motor? I dont have a lift like you. I got jack and jack stands though
That's probably the only one I'm ever going to pull out. I hope anyway. It's going in my Celica GT-SS
@@TSRGarage from what u remember. You just unhooked everything and literally them subframe bolts holds it all together and that top Engine mount?
@@cammims7645 yeah exhaust, steering, a lot of wires.. . .
@@TSRGarage im ready to tackle this engine and transmission replacement. Just bought a 08 Ss for $300.!.!
Awesome stuff. Now throw it in the trunk and make it rear engine rear wheel drive. Will that work?
It might work, i have several videos on the project so far... 😁ua-cam.com/play/PLHUWidjJ9X6T26LVBPT5fL7DovFXzloVb.html
@@TSRGarage Yo just checked it out. That's so dope you doing it for real. Legend
@@Somanybeats thank you .. please share so more people see this build.
Thanks
@@TSRGarage Yooooo someone else has done the impossible like you with the Impala SS and its Super Legit! have you seen this? ua-cam.com/video/R6_FsDV1Uic/v-deo.html
I have a Chevy 2016 limited v6 I wanna do a swap to a v8 is it possible?
I have seen a lot of videos on swapping from the V6 to V8. So it's possible.
I have a 08 lt!! what can I swap it with?
I don't know much about them. I just stole the motor out of this one for my Celica GT-SS project.
This is mind blowing...nice video...what I just.. Watched... has got to answer this..I got a 07 impala 5.3 and need a motor. found a 06 impala 5.3..can I put that 06 motor/transmission (one unit) in the 07 if so what needs to go with the 06 motor/transmission to make it work?? GM myth buster!!! Preciate the info..great video
Just saw this comment. UA-cam seems to hide some of them for awhile 🤔..
Don't know much about the Chevys. I don't know if they made any major changes 06 to 07
06 and 07 are same model years, especially for the LS4 engine the 5.3L uses, so you should be fine doing that swap!
I have an 2006 impala 5.3 and engine swapped an 07 5.3. It won't start! I think the reluctor wheel is different from 06 to 07. Please help
@@alexlagrone5605 same issue..I tried putting the 06 motor in my 07....crank but no start...we should swap motors...
@@darylhutchinson8829 through research figured out the 2006 has a 24X reluctor wheel while the 2007 has a 58x relcutor wheel... trying to find options to not have to go into the engine again but I'm running out of ideas. The cranksensor, Reluctor wheel and ECM all need to be configured for the correct model year
Part 2?
Yes, making the drive train fit in a Celica. I guess part 2 would be this playlist, 30 plus videos.
ua-cam.com/play/PLHUWidjJ9X6T26LVBPT5fL7DovFXzloVb.html
I have a 2008 GXP with this engine. Toasted transmission. Can I bolt this to a powerglide and install an aftermarket intake and carb and put it in my 55 Chev?
I dont know. All I know is it will fit in a Celica... with a little modification 🤣
LS4 has a small V6 transmission bellhousing bolt pattern different than all other LS engine's it will work but you will have to use a RWD 2.8L or 3.8L transmission out of a V6 S-10 or Camaro 4.3L will not work. Most people don't use LS4 engine's for swaps because of this reason they use the LS engine's out of RWD trucks and cars because they have the same bellhousing pattern as the old school SBC engine's.
@@christopherhyde9842 Thank you! Very informative!
Bad ass
U think the battery has a bad placement? U should look at a 2014 Avenger, u have to take off the tire to get the battery out😂
👍 the automaker's find some great places to put batteries.
U gotta take the headlight out on the impala ss and the battery is small.
Unless the ls4 is different than the usual ls motors you don't need to pull any wiring behind the dash
If I do another one. I wouldn't pull as much wiring.
Can You Take It Out From The Top
I don't know. Never tried that.
@@TSRGarage alright Thx For The Reply
I'm just assuming you haven't done very many swaps you do not need 90% of that wiring
First one. If I ever do another one.. I would go about the ecu/ wiring differently.
I want to 454 swap my 9th gen
check out LS4 king youtube channel
Will do but now I’m thinking more toward a 383 stroker with a 4l80e trans and rwd swapping it
Wats plans for that 5.3 buddy
Rear engine project.... coming (soon)
TSR Garage Kool I cant wait to see it so ur going have a awd 5.3 impala or rwd 5.3
@@crownmekingls4 This is the project ua-cam.com/video/TXFqvXKsslo/v-deo.html
Is it possible to put a 5.3 in an 07 3.5 LT?? Been debating it, 3.5 still runs fine but would love to get a 5.3 and build it up with my son over time and install it when the time is right.
I don't know what would need to be changed to make that happen. This is the only fwd chevy I have ever messed with.
Anything is possible with the right amount of money, time and parts, lol. 🤔This engine is now in a Celica 🕐⏳️💰.
