It's a great time to be buying junk yard motors.........so many little things (other than engine problems) that mechanics can not fix on a vehicle sends them to the junk yard pretty quick. My yard is full of them also.
29:10 gave me a chuckle.
Hey , travis . Youcan get a 4.8 invthe half ton's. I have a 02 with a 4.8 and its been a great motor. Over 300k and still running strong. Great junk yard video. 😊
The 4.8 is great in a stock vehicle, I just don’t recommend people go through all the work of swapping one into a vehicle. When (if) your 4.8 ever blows up let me know and I’ll set you up with a 6.0 lol.
God damn! This guy is a legit Chevy nerd 😅. Great info bud.
Nice, job!!
Awesome man for sharing this and I will say that you are not getting that in my area of the country.
Travis this is a great video brother.
The S10 axle and drum swap for the monza is a direct fit. The v8 monza brakes are the same size as the S10. Usually the only thing you need to do is lightly "clearance" the backing plate in some cases
I don’t want to install stock junkyard drums.
The backing plate trick is for 76+, 75 had smaller brakes (non-vented in the front most noticeably). The 75 works without issue, if I'm reading my outdated FAQ pages right. I forget the exact numbers but it should be a straight drop in despite the 1/16" difference in axle length.
Man!!! Some great stuff in that yard! On the second third generation Firebird you have to look up the engine code VIN. “F” is the code for’TPI 5.0.’ I believe “8” is the code for ‘TPI 5.7’. (It’s either “8” or “G”, tbh, it’s been a while since I’ve been seriously involved in 3rdgen “VIN-chasing”)
Those TPI parts you were looking at (Throttle body, upper plenum, runners, fuel rails and injectors, and lower intake base with EGR valve ) are worth a FORTUNE! It hurt me so much to see you leave them behind! I haven’t seen a set in a junkyard in YEARS! lol. 😂. I showed that part to my son (Also a Thirdgen collector)and he made a choking sound 😂lol. Guess things are just different a few hundred miles east of you all! In AZ, those TPI parts would be pulled before the forklift finishes setting the car down in the yard! I buy Thirdgen parts and resell them, and finding a set of those again would be like a wet dream. I’m not even sure I could bring myself to actually sell them…. Mmmmm…. Yes, I could.
First thing my son asked me: “Where is this? Could we fly, or drive there and get them?” I pointed out how old the video is and he just sighed.
3rd gen f body stuff is very common in the yards here. The TPI is worthless in California due to our smog laws. Get in contact with me and I can let you know what else I find.
This video was awesome made me feel like I was at the junkyard aswell 🤣🔥💯
I just went through this exact thing..the truck was like 6ft in the air and LKQ wanted $50 to lower it.
Hilarious
That 71 Duster could be a Demon too
Does lkq let you bring in transmission jacks? I want to pull a transmission off a Corolla their but I’m by myself not sure if I’m able to pull it off if I can’t support the engine or trans
Ah man the Taurus SHO! that's a rare car for what it is. Edit: Man. I appreciate the F-Bodies! If you find more please share
Hell yeah! These F-Bodies (especially third generation) are getting rare (with good parts, that is) where I’m at in Phoenix.
come on bro, buy eggs or produce them
No
Fr tho fucking snake didnt even get full with those eggs my testicles are bigger
Man I soo need that rear bumper off that s10
You know where to find it
@travisblack417 True but im like over 1 thousand miles away:( but trust me if it was somewhere by me it would be mine
Hi Travis, could you give me pricing for a 6.0 cast iron with the higher compression heads.
Thanks
Floyd
The difference is the pistons, not the heads. You can raise the compression with different heads however. Search me on IG and send me a message
That Caprice was a 9C1 (Police package car)…shame to see rust free metal in the bone yard. Thanks for the education Travis.
The late b-bodies are really not worth anything out here unless it’s an impala.
@@travisblack417 Wow…want to find a couple 9C1s for me? Happy to pay for your time and assistance. So much nice rust free stuff in CA.
@@TheBBodyBuildersend me a dm on ig
Duster probably had a sunroof.
I know your channel talks about motor and transmission and I don't want to offend you but I lost my gas door at a drive through car on a 2012 buick lacrosse it was gray but color doesn't matter if you come across one
I am looking for an all aluminum LS6 to build as a boat engine for my 2004 Sea Ray. I know they came in the Cadillac CTS-V. Not sure what other cars they came in other than the Corvette.
Just the ctsv and z06. The LS1 and ls6 are basically identical though. All real differences are fully swappable when building the engine. Heads, cam valves etc. the rotating assembly is effectively identical.
@@travisblack417 Are there any LS1’s still to be had or are they all gone at this point?
@@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo they were basically never in junkyards. If you want an aluminum 5.7 you have to find them from dismantlers or people that have them. Everything has is price
Okay if I’m looking for 6.0 ls .what letter or number do I look for? And you T for 5.3 in short wheelbase, Escalade and Tahoe?
U is 6.0, N is higher compression version of the same motor in the Escalade. T is 5.3 in every single vehicle. Z is e85 version of the same 5.3.
@@travisblack417 thank you
I’m trying to find a 22RE for my Toyota pickup
Which LS motor with transmission do you recommend for a 1978 Chevy K10?
Iron 6.0
@@travisblack417 Kewl. Thanks.
lq9 iron block 6.0 & a 4l80.
whens the best day to go ? a guy wants to sell me one for 1600 motor only
Best day to go to the yard? If you’re asking because of crowds that really hasn’t been a problem anymore since inflation happened and yard prices tripled. Yeah paying so much more money isn’t awesome but the place is never an annoying zoo anymore. $1600 might be fair for a 6.0 longblock if it’s confirmed to be a runner. Not many guys have a runstand like me though.
17:48 what are dually rear ends worth complete ?
Dually rear ends are usually cheaper than regular axles. Less people need/want duallys.
I'm looking for a good 2003 dodge ram 4.7 engine I can't find a good 1 here around missouri they're blowed up or high miles what would you charge me 1 and would you ship it to LOWRY CITY MO
“Good 4.7” is an oxymoron
I need a 5.7 hemi with wire harness dash dashboard and wire harness that goes to the back lights gas tank
Why do you need all of that
@@travisblack417 no I just need the motor and the Tran harness for a 5.7 2010 or newer
Why didn't you get the 799 heads swaped?
I figured I was already buying enough stuff with the entire 6.0. I left that part in the video to see if people were interested in me having those in stock to sell.
Where are you located I would like to buy something I think you're in the Bay Area
Southern California
Vin V is 4.8? Is that what you said? Or E?
V
Travis looking for a LQ9 thanks
Send me a dm on IG
How can I get in touch with you?
You can find my phone number on Instagram
How much is a 6.0
I’ve been looking for a L33 for the past three months find me one!
Send me a message on Instagram. I can get you set up
You know the LH6 is the same thing with DOD...
Where are you located ?
Thousand Oaks ca
Do you do LS swaps for money? I have no shop or tools.
I don’t have a shop either. I sell motors, I don’t do installs. I’ll talk you through one though. It’s easier than it seems.
@@travisblack417 how much for a motor? And where are you located?
@@user-gp8ox8fx5s Thousand Oaks California. Send me a message on Instagram
305 is great engine to build.
Travis I’m looking for 450hp to replace my l59 any suggestions? Can you build and install for me
Baby cam 6.0 will get you to 450 and still drive like your L59. I can build it yes, install it no.
@@travisblack417snakes don't like chicken eggs??? Not being a smart ass just curious why drag home 2 eggs (fertilized) when you could grab a couple out of the fridge???
-EDIT- non fertilized from fridge...
Because I like my snake more than I like birds.
@@travisblack417 do your snakes eat chicken eggs also, or is it only fertilized eggs???
@@jcanfixall1585 he eats whatever he fits in his mouth.
The white is DBW and it has green and blue ECM?
The proper names are P01 for red blue, and P59 for green blue. Not all but most P01 is drive by cable, and not all but most P59 is drive by wire.
So how would connect stand alone wiring harness to that when you order blue/green harness it gonna be electric throttlebody. So could you get the red blue and connected to that since it’s cable driven and a cable driven Pcm with the blue green?
@@danmartinez3390 the colors of the connectors indicate which order the pin outs are in. I prefer sticking with the 01-02 red blue but if you’re stuck with 03-06 there are workarounds. It’s all about knowing what you have and what you want.
@@travisblack417 so I can still use the green/blue pcm that is DBC with harness from 01-02 stand alone harness?
@@danmartinez3390 no lol. Just set the thing up as a 2002 with an 0411 red/blue pcm and don’t ask any further questions.
What is a ls1 bare block worth?
What someone is willing to pay technically. The 5.7 is an odd piece because it’s technically the first. It has the thinnest liners and also the 97-00 blocks have worse crank bay breathing. I still like them though.
@@travisblack417 thanks. I found a bare block and heads for $500. I will try to talk him down. I want to do a stroker. Might be better finding a 6.0 but can’t find any bare blocks.
@@theshark2804 what’s your price point for a 6.0 block?
@@travisblack417 i don’t know since I haven’t found any. Feel I should save a bit just being the block and then I can sent it out to get bored
@@theshark2804 the problem is that with yard prices going up bare blocks are nowhere near as cheap as they used to be. I sell them for $750 when I have them.
santa paula never has squat
It’s a cool yard regardless. There’s lots for me to talk about and not actually buy
If you're looking for weird stuff it's actually pretty rad, but for run of the mill daily driver parts it's not great

Interested in a 6.0/4L80E trans combo. @travisblack417
