  • LS Engine Swap On A Budget - Engine Mount DIY
    No one said a Mercedes LS engine swap would be easy! I start the fitment process, test out the factory GTO engine mounts and see how much fabrication work I need to do to get this all to work together.
    Huge shout out to Initial DIY Mods for the help and advice on this car. Check out his channel

    I am swapping a Chevy LS2 into my Mercedes SLK. I've got all the steps and am detailing how much I'm spending and how I'm doing it. I'm building the world's first LS swapped Mercedes SLK, and I'm doing it as cheaply as possible.

    Im totally going to use a reciprocating saw now. What metal cutting blade were you using? 🍁👊

    • @revmatchtv
      @revmatchtv  Před 5 lety +1

      I don't remember the saw blade. It took me about 2 hours to cut through 1/4" metal. It was not quick. A plasma cutter would have been 20 minutes, but a lot more coin.

      It cut through 1/4" at about 1mm per second. It was a cheap solution.

      I stopped the project after I made the lower engine mount. Turns out the engine was not going to fit because the steering linkage would be where the headers would go.

      I wish. I haven't had enough time to do much on it. Plus, this car doesn't get views, so it's hard dedicate a lot of time to it. I'll be working on it in 2019 though. I want to get it running.
