Good gosh! I did LS swap 3 years ago on my 61 Apache. I would have loved having your videos & knowledge to refer to. I put an 84 C10 front clip on with 5.3LS, 4l60E, stage 4 cam, 3200 Torque Converter, 3.73 gears, a/c, power steering on the factory X-
Frame. I love how she glides down the road. Very nice way to cruise. Take Care! Keep em coming!

you can get a valley pan with a oil cap on it. So you can fill your truck with oil there.

[DadbrosGarage]

That is a beautiful set up you have there sir

[barnescycle]

This video needed done years ago! Thank you

Lokar sells a valley cover with an oil filler location that resembles the 1963 283 engine.

Hey man, how about that utility truck behind you?? You have a build playlist for that? That’s what I’m digging. 🙌🏽

[shelbyadams]

Great video and look but until the oil fill is resolved better I’ll keep it original

[fahadalhadi]

Any video on the intake setup i would love to see that

[Strfac]

Great video! Could you add chapters for easier referencing?

[onecleanlbz]

Have you considered put heat wraps around the spark plug wires?

[nimblybimbly]

Is the cab maybe out of square? The clearance from the firewall to the valve covers looks very different from side to side.

[nursecuenca]

Awesome video as always. How much vaccum can you get on a 350 small block, running a mild cam and headers on c10?

[erod]

You recommend 1st gen or 5th gen coils?
Also, what gasket did you use? Thanks in advance

[joe]

I have the same set up but with the dirty Dingo cradle, I am having the Holley valve cover height issues with the firewall. By any chance di you move the transmission and transfer case forward to help with clearance issues. I have a 70 K5 Blazer

[Tony-egjl]

will the dirty dingo bracket work on a lsa what im putiing in my 64 c10

[toto]

Where do I find the golden color motor mounts? I don’t know how they are called hahaha!

[jaymondperry]

Can you share the part number for the plug wires ? Thanks!

[toto]

Hello!
How could I find the engine mounts that you use?

Im looking at LS swap, but not a 20k price tag to get it done.
