In today's video, I'll be refreshing the motor for the '62 GMC build. It's a 5.3L LM7 (LS based) V8 that came out of a 2004 Cadillac Escalade. The motor ran fantastic with no smoking, ticking or anything else abnormal that would indicate any other issues that would require a rebuild. That being said, I still wanted to go through it down to the short block, re-seal everything and put on my own custom touches to ensure this thing has a long life and looks great too. Despite being a modern engine, I want to give it a vintage twist to pay homage to the truck's original V6. As I've mentioned in prior videos, this is going to be a unique build that's going to utilize mostly factory GM parts when it comes to the chassis, powertrain and driveline. The goal is to build a truck that's easily serviceable, reliable, fun to drive and comfortable to drive on a daily basis. The core of this build will start by taking two old GM vehicles that were destined for the scrap yard and repurpose as much of them as possible to limit cost and give the '62 a significant dose of modernizing. If you haven't already, subscribe today to follow the progress! Thanks for watching!
