@@finalcallracing OH im not. I have taken about a year on the engine build meow, and when i get home going to start on taking the old 2.2 out get it a paint job and looking spiffey, Or would you recommend fitting the engine in first so i can see whats going to have to be banged in for the tranny and then get it painted?
@@finalcallracing I am running a t56 out of a 04 ctsv and have the tranny crossmember engine mounts and headers from current performance. with the oil pan as well
Huge fan of you and your truck. If you remember, where did you find that hard tonneau cover? Nobody seems to have any for s10’s anymore that are at least a little low profile. Thanks !
Nice ... very quality build, I am looking for a vehicle to swap in an ls ... S10 is on my list of possibles also considering a fox body mustang possibly a monte or hahaha a ricer.
Ahhh gotcha. My last ls3 the intanks kit came with a vent that I put on the chasis as high as I could get it. OK cool. I just ordered all the An fittings and a reg from goodies Thank you. Any new vids yet or too many projects?
I just got the hood back from paint shop yesterday. I installed it last night. But forgot to paint the latch. I had to get an engine in a car I bought to make some $$ on tonight. Should have video of finished hood Friday if all goes as planned. My summer has been crazy busy. Haven't taken as single car down the drag strip this year. YET! I have another Xtreme that I plan to do a detailed video on how to swap an ls into S-10. I want to take a weeks vacation to do it and stay on it till it's done, after it cools down. But I really need to hit 1,000 subs so I can get a few $$ for the video. I get a lot of ?'s regarding ls swap on this thing.
what cooling fans did you run? Im thinking of trying to see if 98-02 F-Body fans would fit. Also very nice idea to mount the trans cooler under the bud, i didnt think about that :)
Great job doing the LS1 swap! I'm curious to know how much money, you have in this truck. I had over 13K in my Xtreme. I also have a z28 with an LS1 but I actually have more money in my Camaro.
and you hear the cops coming in the back ground because its one hot truck haha kidding,great Resto mods joe i had one back in the early 2000's with a 96 Vette LT1 with a 5 speed and it was fast as hell man.youve got a lot of time and money tied up in this one,sad thing is you never get shit when you sell them,i didn't.damn it haha.later
Just a quick question. I'm getting back to. My s10 swap with ls. Was wondering do I use a return less style fuel. Regulator like the vette. I'm using an ls1 from an 05 gto. It was originally a 2.2 4 cyl. Was hoping I can get away with just some braid from the regulator to the motor for. Now to start it up. Appreciate if you get back to me
I am a Rookie and need help/advise I have a 1999 s10ext cab and I am going to install a 2/3 drop kit and I purchased a set of Weld Draglites 15x8 and 15x4. What size tires would I use ?
ok, thanks joe.. I'm doing a swap on my 99 s10 and the pulley is sitting on the steering box.... i bought the brackets from ls simple.. not sure what to do
nice truck. I'm still debating whether or not to switch to a v8. mine is a 2000 S-10 extreme extended cab. I'm trying to figure out why the swap and where did you get the tip cut outs from.
JC Primevil I just wanted a more powerful truck. it's not a daily driver by any means but could be. It gets 22 mpg on hwy. Tips are off a c6 corvette. The place I used to work was always throwing out Corvette mufflers when we would change exhaust, can't beat free.
Are you having any issues with the speedway upper control arms loosening up after putting miles on it? We used the same upper arms on my buddies s10 build and used standard 10.9 grade bolts with lock nuts lock washers and loctite and they continue to loosen up after a little drive time.
OHMYGOD it's beautiful. Looking to 5.3 LS Swap my 2002 Blazer and Street/Strip it. Any idea on how much power it makes? That's a question some people find stupid but I'm trying to find out what I want to build it as far as somewhat following builds people have done online. I've seen people getting 600 out of these with stock bottom end with higher compression and nice heads. Anyways thanks for your video.
I have a 03 xtreme 5speed I want to do this to . Watched a lot of U tube videos past few days .... yours is the closest to what I want to do . Do you have a list .... very nice truck
The best source of pre written and researched advice is on the LS s10 forum. www.s10forum.com/forum/f213/lsx-conversion-information-390967/ Look at the stickies. That is where I chose what route to go. You can go cheap junkyard stuff or the nice Current Performance parts and harness. I did the Current Performance route. They are by far the easiest but definitely not the cheapest.
I can't build one for anyone else at this time or the near future. I do have another s10 I plan to ls swap for a true daily and when I do, it will be a step by step how to do it. Hopefully next summer or fall. I intended to do it this year but never got the time.
How much did u spend in total for the swap ??? I have a 98 sonoma 2.2l 5spd 300000 miles trying to swap just for fun i been having this truck for so long now ...
The original cost with ls1 was probably in the 7 grand range. I have no real idea what I have in it now with the ls7, 9 inch rear and other goodies. You can do cheapie build for probably 4 or 5 grand. I used current performance wiring for all the parts to make it work easily. Their stuff isnt exactly cheap but worth it to me. The s10 forum in the ls section made it easy to figure out how to navigate the swap.
does it over heat sitting in traffic with the Ac on? only reason I haven't done mine.. scared it will overheat sitting in rush hour traffic.. looks good!!
+Joe blow ok.. yeah that's who I was going to order all my stuff from too. . just wasn't sure on the overheating if it was an issue or not. Jared is the master at these ls1 s10 swap parts as you know.
Are you running 2 obd computers one from the old engine and one from the ls. I just swapped an ls3 in my 67 camaro and want to do an s10 but I've heard in order for gauges to work you need to computers
Final Call Racing can i get your number to pick your brain for a min on your truck. You can email it to me or I can call you once I get an email. Chevyboy67@optonline.net
Depends on where you live. Just throw some cat converters on and it'll pass where I'm at. Larry Larsons truck gets stickered as well. No emissions in my county.
@@finalcallracing I was hoping you'd answer, I'm looking at a ls swap s10 and was worried about it. I've had a 84 v8 s10 awhile back and didn't have any problems. I'm in Texas
@@lit549 might check with some local car guys that are into this stuff and see what's required. Maybe you know someone certified to inspect cars that could help you.
There are several routes to go. I took the easy route. I bought all the swap parts from Current performance except headers. Just little fab work here and there. With the purchase price of truck with blown engine and everything I have done I think I have around 16k in it. It can definitely be done for cheaper if you go to junkyard and source parts but I wanted a clean install that worked right the first time.
16k!! Dang...yeah I'm trying to do the junkyard part. Thanks though. 16k is what people pay for brand new, no offense to anyone, but worthless, overpriced mini vans (joking). So 16 sounds pretty doable. Thanks for helping me out🖒🖒
ruben thomas I used a short section of factory line, rebent it so it would run down the right side of trans to the rear. Welded on -6 steel AN fitting to those short lines, then -6 braided stainless hose back to trans cooler with AN fittings.
seth newman. I'm in Missouri also.. we have inspections here. Sharp truck for sure... I am building a fuel injected v8 ranger now. I've built so many s10's they are everywhere.
Final Call Racing oh.. I didnt think about the different rear end, i got a sonoma with the factory 7.625 and i found the wheels i want 15x8 rear and 15x4 on front but i dont know what back spacing or offset to get...😕
I think my rear is only narrowed an inch each side but cant remember. S10s normally have no offset. so a 15x8 with 4.0 bs would be correct for stock s10 look. Take away .5 bs and that would put it at 3.5" and that would push the wheel closer to the outside.
I bought a twin filter setup then bought some aluminum tubing same size as throttle body. I slightly smashed it oval to clear fans welded tubing to air filter setup and bought and 90 degree elbow and clamped it together.
it's on hold right now. I have enough for another video. Currently working on a stude Hawk altered wheel base car. Been working solid on it for a year now. video will come but not till its done, it'll be wicked.
this is absolutely gorgeous
this truck is a beuaty! probably a dream truck for me right now.
So much more than just a swap! Very nice!
Wow so clean. Nice chop too.
Check out my latest video. Truck has waaayyy more power now.
Nice looking build.
that rear end looks killer. beautiful truck
Beautiful attention to detail.
MAN! That's one awesome truck! Great job!
talk about a fun daily driver
Very well done friend. Looks wonderful.
Looks amazing and sounds even better.
I love this build. Hope mine comes out half as clean!!!!!!

Nice I'm thinking of getting a s10 for street racing kinda a lil sticky of how that suspension would work on street with a turbo
Wow pretty sick bro!!!
It looks like it would be a pain in the neck to to crawl underneath the truck to change the battery?
Joe Dirt kind of is but not too bad. At least it last several years before changing. I can always jump start it and put it on my lift.

What did you use for motor mounts?
Got you ! Man Thanks a lot you been extremely helpful
What kind of tonneau cover is this? I like the real low profile look of it.

I'd get the truck engine for big power....go pull an lq9 from a 2500 express van, those bottoms are good to 1200+hp
and they only weighs 65- 85 lbs more than an aluminum block ls (2 racing seats over the factory seats would save that much weight)
fukn thing is done absolutely right.. good job!!
Scooter Chase Thank you! I tried to not short cut anything. I took my time, and bought quality parts. The end result was worth it in my opinion.
Mind if I ask much it is to swap and a LS in factories form? I would like to do this build but not the drag racing aspect
What was the total. Length tube to tuve on your 9 inch. I have to I can buy one at 53 the other at 54 1/2

why a drum brake 9 inch? Why not a positrack 8.8 with disk brakes?
A buddy that abandoned his project sold it to me for a price I couldn't refuse.
Joe blow ah I see, that makes sense
Did you have to do anything with the computer? Having a hard time getting my to turn over and security light is on
Yes, delete vats with HP tuners. Or if engine isn't crazy modified you can send ecm off and have it programmed.
Awesome s10 man! I love those Billet Specialties! I know you said the rears 10x8's but I
was wondering what the backspace on those are?
Thanks man
does it over heat sitting in traffic with the Ac on? only reason I haven't done mine.. scared it will overheat sitting in rush hour traffic.. looks good!!

where did u get your a/c and a/c lines? @joeblow
Current Performance wiring
what harness did u go with?? factory?
Scooter Chase engine harness is current performance wiring. only had to splice 4 wires. rest of truck is factory.
Do you still have this truck
yes. i have other vids on it now. has ls7 in it
Are you using c5 vette accessories?
Jc Diaz yes
painless performance?? or just performance
Scooter Chase current performance wiring. they are usually go by cpw wiring
What's the factory paint # and name? I have a s10 just like that
MOTO Freeks don't know the number but it's called victory red
Any chance you have part numbers ? For it
Jc Diaz the c5 accessory drive with alt and ps pump is 19257325. Ac is from current performance wiring.
where'd you buy headers at?
I made them out of stainless bends.
What is the offset on your wheels, Front and rear?
Johnny B rears in this pic are 15x8 with 3.5 bs. Front I think are 15x4 with 1.625 bs. Rear end was narrowed. I nomally run 15x10 with 4.5 bs

why fuel injected?
Injection was easier cheaper and simpler for me.
can you tell me where you got the cold air intake at as i would like to impliment this on mine
Stacey Sparks its just cheap intake tubing and a filter. they're easy to make
thx
I bought a twin filter setup then bought some aluminum tubing same size as throttle body. I slightly smashed it oval to clear fans welded tubing to air filter setup and bought and 90 degree elbow and clamped it together.
Stacey Sparks those are 28x10.0 15 mickey sportsmans. It normally has 295/55/15 et street radial. Rear end is narrowed like 2 inches.
Do you have an instagram or some where were you have more pics of your truck ?
Alex Rios No I dont. You can click on my youtube page I have several videos of it.
killer s10 lets see some burnouts
Alondra Perez I agree! After I get the ls7 engine combo sorted I'll do it.
how much u spend on the rear?
Bought it from a buddy who abandoned his project. can't remember what I paid. it was a deal at the time.

I built up a 4l65e for it
Where can i get that exhaust
Alex Rios the tips are c5 vette the rest is homebuilt.
Sweet !
no more rat rod?
