Not the best "budget" LS swap C10. Holley Terminator is much more expensive than just buying a ready to plug and play harness with ECU tune. Plus the ICT billet stuff was not even needed nor was the Corvette or Camaro water pump and relocation kit(s).

Title of the video isn’t “cheapest LS swap”. In doing dozens of LS swaps myself, I consider this the best looking/function combination on a budget. Sorry if I hurt your feelings 😘

@@MechanicalAdventures "hurt my feelings"? Because I called out the obvious when the title claims ***The Best*** "Budget LS Swap C10" and it clearly isn't that much of a "budget" swap when it clearly could have been much cheaper (a.k.a BUDGET) and looked much cleaner and been just as functional and reliable if not more than. Sounds like your feelings got hurt my guy, not mine, but thanks for your comment showing I was correct. ✌️

I’ve gotta ‘73 fleetside short bed that I’m running a cammed 4.8 with ls3 intake and vortech centrifugal supercharger all controlled by a Holley terminator x with a 3000 stalled th350, I’m in the final stages of bodywork and prep before a paint it…….the truck boogies with that 4.8…..I have a freshly rebuilt l96 (6.0) on standby for either the c10 or my lsa supercharged 370 lq9 nova when or if need be……but honestly I really love the efficiency of the 4.8 and the way it loves to rev to the moon!!!
