I criticized your 4l80e video for the fast forwarding..... That was the first vid I saw.... Now I see you are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate the tips and advice.
Your videos are very informative. Following your advice I've found a 6.0 LS complete with a 4X4 4L80E transmission for $1500. I appreciate the tips and keep those videos coming.
I live seven days a week as a worker. I make nice checks but do all the work myself along with my bestfriend and brother from another. You get what you give and dont always get what it deserves. I appreciate your passion and respect for us. The ppl who keep this country turning. I love what you said about what it takes to persue what you love. Always do that with your families best interests in mind first and foremost. Be real and real comes back as it does. I want you to know that there is a person who knows what it takes to do what you do.
Will it be worth putting strong springs and hollow valves in my stock lq4 with 862 heads? Currently have 317 but just got a set of 862s from a salvage yard and want to upgrade them. I’m on a super budget. I’m not gonna change the cam until this transmission goes out. Then I’ll get a cam and try to stuff a 6L80 in my trans am.
On a stock 364ci engine 862 or 706 heads are the best chouce along with TBSS/NBSS intake, China 102tb for $79, decap factory injectors they flow around 75-80lbs hr, get a big Elgin cam for $225. Either 228/230 or 238/242. Pac1218 springs for $125. Ebay/china 1.75-2.5" long tubes for $150-200.

862s on my LQ4. It really helps with compression (or lack of) on the dish piston 6.0s. 243 is a good head choice too but the 862 will hold right there with the 243 up to about 6500rpm. Unless you're drag racing, why spend that extra cash just to say you have 243s? When's the last time you saw 6500rpm? Just for a daily driven vehicle I could agree more. 862 + LQ4 you will be very happy.
Oh and also I wanted to mention the junkyard you visit is a lot cheaper than where I'm from the junkyard I went to I paid $140 that's included taxes for the 706 heads boy I wish they change their prices
I wish I would have known about all this about 8 years ago, I spent 600 for my 317 heads really worked. Milled .040 bowel work. Ported and 5 angle valve job
706 and the 799 make more horsepower and torque then the 862’s until 5500 rpm then of course the better flowing 862 will make a little more right at 542 hp the 706hp 513, and the 799 522 hp that’s above 5500
799 only really needed on a 6.0, at least that's where they make more juice. Anyway work is 100 related to outcome. That's how I got my 5.3 at core price. Yes it ticks,(afm failure) but good bones.

Are you saying the 862 heads will make more power period, or make more power if you don't build the rest of the engine to work with the 799 heads? I'm old school, and more flow has always made more power if you had compression, cam, intake , carb , and exhaust to support it. I have an LQ4 with 317s and a 2011 LC9 aluminum 5.3 with 799s. Trying to figure out what to build...
In even test they make more power period, because they make more compression period. The little difference in compression is the edge over the little difference in flow
@@TheDrivewayEngineer You side stepped my question. What happens when you build the motor for the 799s ? IE , mill the 799s to make the compression equal? I'm guessin the 799 wins, because, more flow....If the 862s make more power, why do 799 equipped 5.3s make 30 more hp than 862 equipped 5.3s? Is it all because of the 4.8 piston? Bigger cam? Tune?
Totally agree!! Remember when I drove 2.5 hours for 2 used transmissions because the price was right, and 2 weeks later went back and bought the guys 5.3 ? Ya gotta want it and can't be a whiner !!!!
Cool video it will help me cuz i need to get a head in junkyard now i know how to pull it out but my dount is that i see 862 in 4.8l and 5.3l engines as well as 799 i think i see them in 4.8l and 5.3l trucks so i dont know whats the difference betwing them and my tmengine has the 862 so i guess i'll get the 862 from either 4.8l or 5.3l engine at junkyard Thanks in advance
Thanks for another great video! I live in the remote NE area of Utah. I'm willing to drive 2-1/2 to 3 hours for a good deal, especially if it's for my '68 C10.

What do you have in those squirt bottles? is that WHIMIS approved 😆 5:44 . Looks like a nice day there. $105 for a set of 862's 5:03 is a smoking deal... Thanks for video brother JR.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer hey JR when you put those 862 on the lq4 are you using the stock 862 pushrods springs and rockers as well and when making this head change do i have to change to flex injectors or is that only if i do a cam swap?
Those vent lines look nice lol I really need new steam vent lines, mine are old & rusted to hell. aftermarket options are wayyy to expensive. Have you ever welded with flux core? no gas needed of course so it’s pretty darn cheap. 1 Lb spool of Lincoln NR-211-MP is like $13 at Home Depot & it’s actually really nice flux core wire. You should see if your welder is capable, it’s really nice so you don’t have to drag a tank around & waste gas for broken bolts & little things like that.
Oh haha shit happens, well that’s cool it’s pretty handy to have both. I honestly usually use flux core more often then not though simply because I’m broke lol.
Do you reuse the head bolt or do you get new bolts I got a like your video .i got whole long block lm7 with 862 heads the block was water logged and broke a rod I got the motor for 90 on market place
would you run 862's with flat top pistons in an lq4? if so what kind of piston to valve clearance are you getting?. what cam specs are you running? wouldnt compression be higher than 11:1 correct?
Absolutely, I ain't scared. The piston is like 3 inches away from the valve at Max lift, cams really don't effect PTV for most people on LS engines due to the 15 degree angle, unless you get into some insane duration.
In my experience over the years Frankenstein Engines usually make more power and last longer. I have done quite a few, don't know why and don't care. If it works it works.
Dave Barron no sir... 5.3's have smaller Chambers than 6.0's . A 5.3 head on a 6.0 raises compression. A 6.0 head on a 5.3 lowers it. A 5.7 head on a 5.3 lowers compression.

I live Georgia, our salvage yards are flooded with 862s. Complete swaps actually. The only thing not plentiful is Cadillac 6.0s, envoy Denali (aluminum)5.3. We even get the FWD 5.3 from the Impala SS and Pontiac GP-GXP nobody bothers them becuz they think the FWD(243 heads) engine is different than RWD. More fun for me 😂😂😂
Thanks brother i will have to find me a good mechanic to do it for me cannot turn a wrench like i used to had back surgery good looking out on the information i need thanks again😊
Great video thx for all the info an hell yea if u want anything in life u gotta wrk for it. I’ve been debating on buy some 799s but I got a pair of 862s in my shelf from a buddy for free Thx for all the knowledge its helped out a lot
Yeah I hear you. I am in a couple LS swap groups on dearest fbook and it's like a broken record about how "Oh you are lucky", "6 liters are so expensive", "How do you find such cheap Gen IV's", "I can't find a cheap engine like you can" Nope.... you can't. Need to get off your ass and go look around a bit. My closest U pull it yard is a 2 hour highway drive and honestly whooptee doo! Oddly enough the most memorable guy recently was also unemployed.

Is that fit a 5.3, those heads 862
Search google.. all the info you want is out there, JR is just showing how to do this on the cheep
Yes they are
@@rayjon237 relax. It's extremely common for people to ask questions in the comments. If the poster doesn't want to answer someone else may come along and help answer.
😁 yup, amazing how "lucky" you are!
Do you block all 4 steam ports
I don't block any. The factory, around 01 or so, started blocking the rear.
Hey mate I'm a viewer from Australia and I'm just curious about how much a used cast iron 6.0l bare block goes for?
Varies wildly. To just buy one from Summit Racing I think is 600 bucks
Pretty sure that sounds about right ! But I did buy used one in a box for $150 . Just depends.
You have to dig to find junkyard gold ,
Hey man your channel seem pretty cool but to up your viewers you need to cut some of the slow stuff out. It’s cool to watch a little of you ripping stuff apart but we wanna see some action and things being built. I’m NOT criticizing you at all just giving you my thoughts. I hope it helps. You will grow this is a highly viewed subject. Thanks for sharing.
AWESOME... just simply AWESOME
I live Georgia, our salvage yards are flooded with 862s.
Complete swaps actually. The only thing not plentiful is
Cadillac 6.0s, envoy Denali (aluminum)5.3.
We even get the FWD 5.3 from the Impala SS and Pontiac GP-GXP
nobody bothers them becuz they think the FWD(243 heads) engine is different than RWD. More fun for me 😂😂😂
Going to be a screamer, just add a good cam and bam, 500hp😎👍🏼

You couldn’t be more wrong about the steam ports,esp when you start pushing boost into a LS and dealing with hotter #7 or #8
Turbo 799 heads
Can't wait for the tair down
Great video thx for all the info an hell yea if u want anything in life u gotta wrk for it. I’ve been debating on buy some 799s but I got a pair of 862s in my shelf from a buddy for free Thx for all the knowledge its helped out a lot
Thank you for watching!
Hey just wondering which head bolts u use or recommend? I have a 5.3 an am switching the 706 heads to the 862 heads.
Good video, some life s+&# in this one. Yee yee.
862 4 lyfe
Nice
Yeah I hear you. I am in a couple LS swap groups on dearest fbook and it's like a broken record about how "Oh you are lucky", "6 liters are so expensive", "How do you find such cheap Gen IV's", "I can't find a cheap engine like you can" Nope.... you can't. Need to get off your ass and go look around a bit. My closest U pull it yard is a 2 hour highway drive and honestly whooptee doo! Oddly enough the most memorable guy recently was also unemployed. Hmmmm... seems like you put as much effort into your LS hunts as your career lol.
Im still trying to figure out what I gained/ learned from this video, besides unsubstantiated opinions. Common, if im gonna give you 6.5 minutes of my life, teach me something. The steam ports part was good, but, give me more of that kinda stuff.
There's a literal card to the video substantiating the facts... If the card didn't show, it's up on my channel.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer Copy, so you have a dyno? Or have access to a dyno? How about talking about; "when we ran these heads on the dyno the engine made... and these other heads made"... I appreciate what you are doing on here, I really do. But there is SOOO much opinion and BS on here, its like watching CNN or MSNBC.. anybody can say ANYTHING. But what sets videos apart, (at least video's that I want to watch) is here is what we had, here is what we changed, and the net result was, the car ran 3 tenths quicker, or whatever the measurement is. But hey, keep it up, just trying to give some constructive criticism. Sorry about sounding like a jerk there, but hey, its what I do best. :) cheers.
@@514orbigger88 you have no idea what you are talking about.
@@34keishalynn Thank you for your input.
Let’s go
Lol you are drunk
Get those 799 heads for me and I'll pay you $125 and I'll pay shipping I'm serious
I'm also serious, no
@@TheDrivewayEngineer you don't know if you don't ask thanks
