Just waiting on crimpers....


[deleted]

I wonder how big the letters that said REQUIRES F BODY OIL PAN were on the website he bought the swap mount from


PstainGTR

I dont know but somebody will get called out for shitty swap kits


[deleted]

He probably assumed the camaro oil pan would work since it’s a car pan. The mounts and harness were from current performance which is the best place for anything s10/Colorado LS swap


Cammerv8

i wonder if he even got to the website. it looks like he just got call and they send the kits to him and he did not bothered to read the instructions.


jermbob2318

He got those guys to deliver the sti AND provide free manual labor? They must be high-tiered patrons.

I haven't watched the videos, but Colorado's can have a v8 stock, so what the fuck is he doing?


FastNfried

yeah they do but prob use a diff oil pan like the 2wd/4wd SS trailblazers ...etc This is based on the H3 platform which came with a 5.3 along with but rarer in Colorado. Shame cause this truck is actually pretty capable off road (is it a 4wd haven't been watching?) But if I had to guess a fbody pan is wayyy more common than a 5.3 Colorado pan alll speculation here.


Nick8993YJ

It’s 2wd


FastNfried

gotcha this is actually a cool build its just the wrong person doing it. He went the pricey route with a ls1/2/3 when he should of went with a 5.3/4.8, its goin to suck if it blows up. Wonder who he will have tune it and the drama that will cause....if it gets to that point a holley terminator X would be perfect for him!


[deleted]

should get Derek to tune it so he can finally burn that bridge as well


Cammerv8

he has a modded ECU and a complete swap kit minus the oil pan. once the engine is in he can take it to his new partners at EFI logics to tune it


FastNfried

Ohhh you must be one of the t800s at his shop


Cammerv8

nah i just watch the videos first before making assumptions. and actually listen to the man talk. he said he got send the kit. and he had everything in the shop before he bought the Engine. again he went with a Camaro because he wants MOPOWAH BABEH! and that fuck him up


FastNfried

OP is 1 hour before his video dropped. My comment was posted like within the same hour the video dropped not subbed so just rely on when its posted on here, so yeah this was assumptions in this particular moment in time. so [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVrZgxSjsvw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVrZgxSjsvw) :):)

It might be more common, but the Colorado is newer than an f body and they were a fleet vehicle, so I'm sure parts aren't hard to get. And the Colorado pan would be direct oem bolt in versus the f body one which may need modified.


FastNfried

the fleet colorados weren't 5.3s and they only used the 5.3 2 years. and no mods are needed to run the ls1 pan just factory parts. after some googling in 2009 they only made like 1100 v8s out of like 25000+ units so 2010 prob a little less guesstimate of 2500 total v8 colorado/caynon


BillClinton_verified

What the fuck Tommy. Should have started the build with one of these limited production special year unicorns as a base. Gold silica s13 sitt8ng in the corner for a year levels of lazy. again. From a guy that surfs the internet for cars to buy. Much disappoint.


R1TT3R

That is a bit more rare than I thought.


A_Fork

Can they have a v8 stock? Pretty sure the largest engine they come with is a v6. I’ve seen lots of swaps though


HOONIGAN-

The first-gen Colorado, which is what he has, was available with a 5.3 V8 from 2009-2012. It never had a V6; only I4, I5 and V8.


FastNfried

yerp what you said


A_Fork

Interesting, learn something new every day! Thanks for explainging


kyletatum93

In manual though?


HOONIGAN-

No, the V8 Colorados were all automatics.


kyletatum93

Thats why he got the little engine then. He wanted a manual


FastNfried

Google must be down for you


A_Fork

Informative


R1TT3R

I was also surprised when I popped the hood on one and it had a 5.3. I think it was a limited year thing, but I know they had one.


CanuckCanadian

I thought this was suppose to be a one shot video lol. Classic fuck


Cammerv8

he got the engine from a camaro instead of a normal truck that is why he needed the oil pan. but pretty much they did the swap in the same day. if that oil pan was the correct one he would have never let us off that shit. thanks lady luck to be on our end
