- What up guy I’m dropping by to say thanks for the love and thanks for the hate. My way is not the only way but it is probably one of the cheapest. I accidentally call the k member a crossmember😬 I hope y’all can forgive me as I worked 12+ hours and then made the video and had it posted at 5:30 am.

My son is doing the 5.3 swap in a Fox and it’s dirty but not cheap! Cam is $500 Piston and ring combo $500 head work and springs $500 machine work $500 Gas tank and fuel pump $500 ect! $500 and it’s still on the engine stand!
Quick, dirty, easy, n cheap. I like ur style lol
Haha gotta get to the thrashing ASAP every time!
I wonder if an sn95 front sway bar would fit. They mount on the center line of both front rails so the mounts won’t intrude on the manifolds space.
That is a good thought. If I decide to try it I will definitely be posting a video on it.
Rainex does work really well, but the windshield washer fluid stuff "with rainex" doesnt do the trick. You have to get the stuff you apply, let haze over, then wipe off and do it perfect. Super clean, and do it perfect. I use newsprint with ammonia and alcohol glass cleaner before I apply it and get it to a perfect streak free super clean state before applying the stuff.
I drove a daily driver in Tampa where you get torrential downpours every day. People would be slowing down, wipers going fast and furious and STILL couldn't see. I had no wipers and was just fine. Bonus points for doing the inside of the glass too so it doesn't fog up. I used more than a bottle to do a single cab pickup, so get 2 bottles. Worth every penny, and I still use it even though I can afford cars with wipers these days!
What wires do I have to tap into with my stand alone harness im barely starting my swap
Well this cars gonna make a pretty sweet comeback to CZcams, just traded for this exact car. The real question is turbo or nitrous?
You did a great job bud
Thank you!
I live in California, and I have never seen that disgusting exhaust manifold. But, I do remember many years back, it could have been a 1999-2000 pickup manifold. I couldn't find a CARB legal header for those unfortunate pickups.
Damn our builds are almost identical
How long is the 2inch pipe piece of your motor mount?
I don’t remember off the top of my head what it was but somewhere around 2.5-3”. I ended up changing it to a different set up.
The stock 2010 camaro exhaust manifold clear the steering shaft and stock k member fyi
$$$
I have read in a forum that they are super nice to work with. Just not in the budget on this car.
@@hesstons I suppose .. i bought a set for $60 and have seen many others listed in the same price range put good luck on build
I just quick glanced on eBay and they are $200. I would imagine they are way cheaper from a junkyard. I can’t find any local on market place
How did you go about making the motor mounts
Use sbc lowers and some scrap 3/16” plate to build uprights and a plate that would bolt to the ls
Im jux guna xpipe the exhuast in frnt of the crank pulley 😂😂😆😂 hell yea yeee yeeeeeee
All worked out! Shorty muffles exiting the fenders. Wasn’t even that loud😎
What did you use for the drive shaft
Had one made at a local shop
Do you have to change the drive shaft or can you use that one
I had a new one made. It was about $300
Great I don’t need a K member , do you have any videos of your motor mounts by any chance TIA
Best I can do is a picture
@@hesstons thanx bro I appreciate it
@@Rojo_2812 made a CZcams post and tagged you
Will the factory kmember clear ls long tube headers
Not sure
Can i use the A/C?
I unfortunately do not have an a/c pump or plumbing.
Yu located in TX
South Dakota for the time being my man. Considering moving back to the Corpus area though.
that some real afro engineering
Ain’t dumb if it works. New videos have been made and most of the car has been updated😎
The cheapest way is dont
To each their own but I’m starting to agree. Waiting on a tuner once again🤦🏼♂️
@@hesstons to each their own man a build is a build but I couldn't put a Chevy motor in a ford just like I wouldn't want a ford motor in a Chevy
@@rickylafollette3680 If 40rd made a dependable and powerful engine (that would fit in the engine bay) I might agree with you. There are manufacturers making CAST IRON parts to DISGUISE the GM engines so that you could save a little pride...!?!
If there were more pushrod sbf then maybe haha but ls is the king
The cheapest way is to not bastardize it with an LS.
Another cross dresser
Where
Hey man where abouts could I find some 2in pipe like that ?? Looking for a setup like this to keep funds low 🤌🏽
I get all my steel at a local place and my exhaust tubing I order online by the boxes. Comes with bends and straights
There’s a difference between a crossmember and a k member. Not hating but before you do a video about using a stock crossmember but mean k member, it defeats the purpose.
Yes it’s an honest mistake and I may call it something different than you might but as long as everyone can gather the concept I think it will help. Thank you for the feedback!
You just dont do it because nobody wants a boat anchor for an engine.... swap a real engine in it like a coyote.
Coyotes are expensive but awesome
Boat anchor?? Aluminum block, aluminum heads, plastic intake, like where's the anchor at. I'm not seeing it.
