Bummer but on a good note, that's a good opportunity to install something that would make that car more funner to drive.😎👍

Yeah this is an old video. I try to explain as much as possible in the descriptions. So this was a 4 bolt main 5.7 when i removed it. Funny how all these revivals and driving cars are popular now. This Trans Am sat for 8 and half year when I bought it. I literally changed the fuel pump and drove it 430 miles home. Brakes were burning and smoking. Even the 88 Firebird of mine I am constantly working on in videos sat for years before I also bought it site unseen and drove it almost 400 miles home. So this Trans Am, I replaced all the brakes and did other minor replacements, and drove it for a few months. Then the motor starting knocking. It was a rod bearing spun on the connection rod cap. I don't remember what cylinder, but that's kind of irrelevant. It destroyed the crankshaft. That's probably obvious though lol... I built a 400(gm) to a 418c.i. I have Pontiac 455 pistons installed. I put a mild cam for a TPI ecu setup. I had the heads built with 2.02 intake valves and ported. I did other small things like headers, 26lb injectors, cold air intake, etc. That's what I built, and is currently in the car right now. I plan on pulling the drivetrain and installing the 5.3 i tore down. I'm trying to pump out all these videos I have, or haven't finished, so I can start on this Trans Am project videos and the Camaro videos finished up. I got alot to work on and get done this summer. So I want all the smaller type videos of replacing parts done so I can focus on the bigger projects and videos to try and gain subscribers and views.

@@NotAGarage You can do a teaser of the video you're going to upload or parts of your videos where you say something interesting but cut it off before you say the answer and splice in at the end, "make sure to subscribe to find out" or something like that.🤷 Shorts aren't rocket science to make unless of coarse it's about rocket science.😁 You can do it.😎👍

LS swap it. 6.0 LQ4 motors are cheap and easy to make power on.

Yes sir. Way ahead of you. I actually got a 5.3 i tore the top end down to do a gasket change and drop in a month or so. This was a older video. I actually got a GM 400, bored over to 418, put Pontiac 455 pistons in it, mild cam for a TPI ecu, rebuilt ported heads with 2.02 intake valves, 26lb injectors, cold air, headers, etc. I did that build a few years ago. It's what currently lives in this Trans Am. I'll be pulling it and doing videos on the 5.3 swap. I did a LS1 in a 86 Trans Am back in 2007. I drove it for years. So it'll be fun to do this swap again. I hope you watch along 💪
