- Installing new motor mounts for a LS swap and then seeing if, and how, the 6.0L LQ4 motor fits.

Terrific video What I did when installing my LS with a AR5 5 speed transmission is I installed the engine and transmission then I hooked up my drive line and that established where my engine needed to be. Then I didn’t have to get a new drive line it works perfectly
I took of my A arms and replaced the 30 year our bushings Then I bolted up my Moyer mounts with no problem at all I replaced or reconstructed everything and I mean everything!!! On my 92 Camaro
Replacing the bushings is valid reason to pull the arms, something i still need to do...
@@dilligaf9199 I like your car. I’ve been a subscriber for a while. I’m always looking to see what others have done when doing this swap.
@@vandettabuilds6641 Thanks man. I got more vids, just have to edit and publish
I did that to on my Camaro. I removed my a arms cleaned them up and bolted down my engine mounts
Thank you! I'm getting ready to put a sbc in my v6 Camaro. I've watched several videos and read forum post, but had a few little questions. Your previous video with the wiring and this one helped clear it up.
Any questions - speak up. odds are i had the same. Doesn't mean I've found the answer though...
@@dilligaf9199 thanks I'll let you know if any more come up. I've been driving mine daily while gathering and getting ready for my engine swap. It's helped me to sort out the rest of the car, or at least add more items to my list of things to do. Now that the weather is warming up I'm ready. I'm going to clean and paint my bay. I'm going to carb from efi and my fuel gauge doesn't work so I've got to get in the tank. It's good to watch someone doing the same thing with a similar style and budget!
I was able to close the hood with shaved truck intake. I put a lm7 on 92 camaro
Thought about shaving off a little on the wheel-well (spell check😂) for the turbo n exhaust system
Spoiler Alert: I was able to install a turbo without cutting wheel-well (spelling?) . I did have to cut the battery box floor...
surprised you didn't just go for a new front K member... given how far youi've taken the rest of the car. Great work though, excellent channel. Very informative
Money
An option for the catch can is an air oil separator. It's like the catch can but is better at scrubbing oil. Also the separator has a drain line that you can run to the pan. Because it drains all the time you don't have to think about emptying it out. But they are a bit of money.
You had me all the way up to "...a bit of money..."😁
Lookin good.
Go with a LS1 intake or a LS6 intake, about $200 for new or used one.
Do those have the return style fuel rail?
Looks good, I think you'd either need a car intake or a cowl hood. I prefer cowl hood because those intakes flow better.
Yeah, I've heard the truck intakes flow pretty good. I'm not planning on replacing the Intake just yet because $$. Video i haven't edited yet shows clearance is better than what this video makes its to be...
@@dilligaf9199 Ah cool, would you be able to shave the intake to gain enough clearance?
@@815LSxSwaps Maybe. I won't know for sure what I'm going to do until I get the engine bay complete and the hood back on
I sued the ICT adapter plates and v8 clam shells and my truck intake fit under the hood
Sued them?! Cool.
I got the Dirty Dingo plates and I think it's energy suspension poly mounts. I'm thinking it's going to be close. May end up with a "Dimple" in center of hood 😉
FYI. If you will allow me, Those "fixed" clam-shell mounts are too far forward, you must have 4 bolts holding them in, I am certain you have to move the brake line, and slide the mounts back till three of the existing holes line up THEN drill out a new 4th hole to mount properly, because that motor is WAY to far forward. If possible, with the engine in the car, measure the distance from flat bell housing mount surface to the center-line of the rear end yoke. Then measure the length of trans, subtract it, then measure the length of "inserted" driveshaft (should have ware marks) as to proper depth. I will bet you will find your driveshaft is 3" to short. You will need to move those fixed mounts. Good luck, love these cars, the only problem with them is their 80's anemic power, which the LS solves in bucket loads. LOL
You do not need 4 bolts to hold them in, 3 is more than enough. However, you are correct about the position of the engine, it needs to move backwards. Hawk Motorsports makes motor mount pads that are mounted to the k-member and move the engine further back in the thirdgen Camaros and Firebirds. The motor mounts are block mounted using this setup.
Did u ever get a transmission
Yessir. 4L80e - I need to get off my tail and make some vid's. Works been busy...
Eselente yo le puse al mio un escup
Or you can just roadkill it and make a hole on that hood. You said it's already bad.
The thought has crossed my mind... We'll see...
Yup you could have just put a 383 or 400 instead of the Ls and still get the same amount of power and toque no problem lol but honestly still nice looking work with what you are trying to do 💯
Not as good hp/$ and worse fuel economy
Terrible audio
