VIDEO how to swap an Ls into a G-body on a budget

[Beeterolds]

I dont post much on here, I mostly lurk but I've noticed on a lot of forums there is tons and tons of hungry guys looking for info on these swaps...And While im not a pro, I managed to put together a nice street 5.3 version for my 1983 Olds Cutlass.. to replace its 455 gas hog.. My budget was cheap ($1400) and its more fun to drive than with the BBO..

For starters all it takes is 60 bucks you can have these motors bolted in, and coupled to the transmission!!

Looks like you did a great job there. What oil pan did you use?

I used the caddy cts-v oil pan.. which was replaced with the in production LSA or LS9 oil pan for the newer CTS-V with the supercharger.. I grabbed it for $170 on ebay.. totally worth it because it saved me from chopping my stock truck pan up
