The Carcass crew bring in a road worn 1996 4X4 two door Tahoe with plans to convert it into the low production two wheel drive version. They’ll start by replacing the blue-smoke-puffing V8 and drop in a new powerplant for better performance and reliability. Plus add a suspension to start the transformation.

Couldn't sandblast and paint the motor mounts???!!!!
Changing from 4×4 to 2 wheel drive. You just ruined the whole thing.
That music while they're working on the engine is bad. Really bad.
blows my mind anyone would build that gen of truck, worst interior, worst electronics, worst body style..
All that money and effort and you don’t paint the motor mounts
The ONE example of where it's cheaper to buy a 4×4 equipped vehicle versus it's 2WD counterpart.
2:25 that’s how imma paint my engine
Converting to 2wd is such a waste.
I have 96 4×4 all original I still daily.
Waste of time and money to convert it to a two wheel drive. Saves you what, two hundred pounds on a 4500 pound top heavy SUV? But you lose hard launches, and the versitility of 4WD. It's not like you can't keep the transfer in 2WD for burnouts, sliding around, and daily driving. Add any kind of power adder and you won't be able to keep the tires under the thing.
I lost all interest when the phrase "2 wheel drive Tahoe" was uttered. 💩💩💩
That shop is way too clean. They should put some oil spots in random places. It adds character.
always surprises me how many clean body vehicles there are for sale with trash motor in it. engine swaps are not hard! once you do a few it’s a fun weekend project you can make decent extra money on for your own projects
Only a strange guy with hair like that in California would do this to a 4by4.
Y’all should do a 2000 Ford F150 modular engine
I love rock music but I'm so tired of hearing it on these shows. There's so many different kinds of music! Or just turn it down lol .. 😅😂 not hating just saying 😂
I figured you guys would of built a lowered all wheel drive 2 door
Are the GMT800 front knuckles featured in this video compatible with the stock 4X4 system or an AWD conversion? I'm looking into a similar build for my 98 stepside. Thanks!
Why would you reuse those motor mounts? At least clean them up and paint them
Woke version on Tahoe.. These guys do just the opposite of what should be done! AWD.
Hell yeah
Foot pound not pound feet
Nice obs blazer. NOT A TAHOE.
Osha would flip having no seat belt on that forklift 😂
Shoulda made it awd like that red obs lt did
Replace OEM 90's tried and true equipment with aftermarket crap for better reliability ?!?!…😂😂😂
I have a 97 and back in 2016 when it came time to put a motor in it, I knew it made no sense to put a SBC back in it. I went with a 6. 0 LQ4. Couldn't be happier. Can't go wrong for the money and power. Most parts are o-ring or reusable gaskets. No distributor. The list goes on and on
Worse name for a car show, hands down
Edelbrock proflow on a low hp v8? I would have rather seen you just LS swap it.
I don’t believe you are supposed to reuse u bolts.
4×4 to 2 wheel drive? Huge downgrade
When you guys bought that transmission, did they fix the known issues with the 4L 60 E?

Carburate
This is such a hack job. 😂😂
King of four-wheel drive truck and making it a two-wheel drive truck you just messed it up
ha, I have a 1996 2WD 4 door Yukon I would have let you use for a project vehicle!
I would’ve liked an LS3 swap but at least u put on fuel injection..
You guys are as exciting and enthusiastic as diarrhea. Why they keep you is a mystery. Your entire budget should go to Pat and Tommy.
You can make a race truck with 4wd.
Kitt Karr Design offers four distinct manual automobile engines: marine engines, aeronautic engines, transmission engines, and alternator electric engines & manufacturers race parts.
AWD conversion wouldve been badass
Kitt Karr Design & Auto-manufacturing – Nemet Motors, Queens NY owner/engineer offers 4 distinct types of engines, and one is pure electric.
👏 PowerNation has given major support to the undeserving American aftermarket auto parts companies that promised them manufacturer numbered race parts & one piece marine engine (1:1).
Rock music is so annoying. Fire the editor. We want to chill, relax and learn not head bang fool.
