Building a killer 4.8L Texas Speed LS swap step by step guide. So I finally rounded up the correct parts to fully build and swap in my LS engine into the 1949 Chevy Styleline Deluxe coupe. I started this LS swap from an old junkyard engine that I thought was a 5.3L but it ended up being a little 4.8L which I'm fine with the 4.8L engines are great little powerplants and can make north of 450 horsepower with ease. I picked up a Texas Speed camshaft the Chopacabra which should sound amazing with it's famous chop at idle. I had my machine shop go through the cylinder heads and install a set of Comp Cams valve springs to handle that lift of the cam. I also replaced all the valvetrain with new components along with a new oil pan, oil pump and all new gaskets. This is only my second LS based engine I have assembled so I'm in no way a pro LS builder but I had fun building this one and look forward to more LS engine projects in the future. If you guys have any comments on how I built this engine make sure to leave me your thoughts. If you are new to the channel make sure to subscribe to watch the engine come alive in the 1949 Chevy. Leave me any comments and give me a thumbs up if you are liking the content and the direction this project is heading. See you guys on the next video and thanks to everyone for supporting the channel.
