Me either. However, my question at the beginning of this (or the end of part 6 where you mentioned "turbo"), was how long would the stock bottom hold up? You found the answer!
@@patrickmcdonald3427 the stock block usaully only handles like 950 then starts to crack but that was a junk one so they decided to hit it as hard as they can.
Projects like this are never a waste of time regardless of the outcome. They are cool as hell and I'm interested to find out decided it wanted a timeout.
You sir have the potential to make the coolest RUclips channel with these builds get a sponsor and start filming. These videos are capable of a million+ views and stuff us men have always dreamed of seeing. Keep doing gods works my friend
Absolutely ******* brilliant video series, I've watched for ages. Not only a great topic but great production. Not overpowered with thrash metal so you can hear, no unfunny cheesy jokes and all the talking was just what you wanted to hear and needed to know ... not over narrated. I'm kinda sad it's over. Do another video on diagnosis of where and why it let go. Then build a better one. Use better parts and if cost is a factor then do a "Go fund me" for help with cost. Thanks again for a great series. Real genuine old school hot riding with a modern twist ... loved it.
This is seriously badass. I want it in my Silverado. It ain't gonna happen because doing an NA 383 stroker conversion on my 5.3 will be cheaper, easier and more reliable (and I need it to be those things at this point in time), but I would really love to have a 351 with LS heads in there. It is unique, made pretty good power NA and it would bother some people. What's not to love? Also, I really don't know how this does not have more views. This is too cool for only 11k people to have seen.
Seeing the punishment the factory parts withstood tells me what to spend money on and what not to thus was incredibly informative and very entertaining.
When I began watching this I did not expect the end result to be that block hanging on that long. I couldn't even believe you were able to put Ls heads on it to begin with. Thanks for trying that.
Hey man personally I was not impressed being a ford guy but I just couldn't stop watching, that was pretty cool 975 is no slouch glad you did it glad I kept watching thank you to you and all that where involved.
I think this was a super interesting experiment. I would love to see a remake with those newer gm heads you mentioned in the other video. When I started watching I had doubts it was gonna run correctly let alone make almost 1k hp at some point. Great series 👏
I’m a four banger guy so typically when we throw 15 pounds of boost at something we make another 100-200 hp. So the fact that at only 6 pounds of boost you made 100 more hp is crazy to me. I would love to see this become more common or popular. A Chevy and ford crossover. Just something awesome about that.
Holdner made 1200 something, and blew it up because they ran out of gate and tried to control boost with the throttle... That idea did not work out well.
the factory cast pistons are the weak link in a small block Ford thats why they put forged in the gt 302 s Holdener was lucky they should have used the better ls heads the factory rod is fairly strong
@@northwestlogtrucker4691 from 1985 to 1993 5 0 mustangs only had forged pistons in 94 they went to the hyperutectic 351 s came with cast pistons with a big oil ring slot thats to wide to keep the skirts strong better to go with aftermarket forged
I love it. I do think Chevy copied Ford but not so much in just a copy. Chevy had to move to skirted blocks with 6 bolt mains because Ford had been there since the 50’s. ( the first LS block looks extremely similar to the Ford Y block.). Using knowledge is part of everything so they took what worked and implemented it in a new engine. Power wise on this engine AFR heads would have made more power with less boost so I couldn’t see this catching on but certainly awesome to see you do it.
Man when will you ford guys give it up? Toyota released a V8 with 6 bolt with cross skirt mains in 1989, and Mercedes and other guys have had in engines forever. the LS has nothing to do with the ford anything. And it's funny you bring up the Y block when ford abandoned as soon as Chevy designed the definitive small block, and ford created the Windsor which is suspiciously close to the sbc. The SBF windsor has so much more in common with the sbc than any previous ford engine.
It was pretty cool that a 30+ year old block never made for that power held it that long. 400 HP is on par with that block. However over twice that with turbos is definitely not what it was made to handle. But it was cool to see the power it did hold up to with a basically stock bottom end. Trying something different is what it's all about and the build was definitely different. 🎉🎉
great series of vids one of my favs I would never have guessed the stock pistons and rods would last as long as they did would love to see it with better components 👍👍👍
@@immaculatelation there will be no man ,as we know them now, existing after the apocalypse. I have two of the earliest 351 W blocks, complete engines, which are known as C9 castings. They are shortly shorter and have alot more reinforced bottom end than the later 351W. The main webbing around the crank area is strikingly thicker. They are so different you can actually see the difference. They also have a much better oiling system than the Cleveland 351. When Nascar ran out of Cleveland blocks they started using the Windsor blocks. They can stand alot more abuse than the Cleveland block, and with good aftermarket aluminum heads and properly set up, the Windsor produces as much power as the Cleveland. Strange , though, the 351 Windsor was originally meant to be a truck engine , but as time went by , people saw the potential power it contained and started to build them up and stick into hot rods. A properly set up 351 stroked Windsor can run with the best of them.
I’ll tell you what I had this idea years ago after looking at those Chevy heads and being a Ford guy. I had a feeling those heads would go on a small block Ford. Dammit I should’ve went with that idea and actually made it happen! Glad you guys were successful to a fault. You can run that thing on 10 pounds all day long and it would be completely happy and probably live a nice long life in an engine bay somewhere. Good job.
Thank you for thinking outside the box and actually testing it! We also had fun and enjoyed the videos. Pretty good stuff for an 8.5cr 90's truck engine
Great job at answering the old question Can’t wait to see what the failures are. In my career I’ve tested power tools on the dyno and nothing beats testing to failure to see where the weak points are. It’s just so much fun.
That kind of dedication to an experiment (and a costly one at that) is nothing more than admirable. Seeing it's been about 48 hours (and the oil on the ceiling has prob stopped dripping!!!) It would be interesting to see what survived! Could the heads still be intact or salvaged? Anyway it goes from here, you should be proud of your project...
Man this was great and very educational.. Thanks very much for helping the little guys achieve what could never do on our own. Great job. I really hope the heads survived..
Not a waste of time at all. Inspiring gearheads to think outside of the box to fabricate and build something new. Also me and my friends were very curious about it lol.
Big THANK YOU for doing this series! Until this morning, I had never heard of anyone actually doing this swap. LIke your shooting and editing style, too. It was great seeing all the work behind the scenes and your commentary in between. Awesome job!
I just ran across this build and your channel the other week. I've been trying to follow along and catch up on it whenever I get a chance. I think I this is a pretty incredible accomplishment! Even though carnage ensued, it's a really big deal, everything you have done to even get this thing done to begin with. Even more so throwing in some boost!👍👍👍

I don’t think you wasted your time. I can appreciate you sharing this with us.
Me either. However, my question at the beginning of this (or the end of part 6 where you mentioned "turbo"), was how long would the stock bottom hold up? You found the answer!
We need more of this nowadays!
That was pretty awesome. I hear someone out there cut up a set of those heads and stuck them on a 300 inline 6 successfully. Might be fun.
975 with 100,000 mile rings and bearings, super surprised. Great series
260,000 miles 🤣
Wow! Is amazing
Impressive for a motor designed in the late 1950s early 60s
Richard Holder did make over 1000hp , it broke due to him ..watch the video
@@JDickracing1962 we're talking about a ford engine that has Chevrolet heads grafted to it. Nobody else has done this and shown the whole process.
Stock rods, cast piston made 975 hp! That is impressive.
This video is HIGHLY underrated it deserves so much more attention. That 351 bottom end put up with some absolute abuse
Engine states: “Get them GM heads off me!” Heads state: “WTF man I’m an LS!”
975 horsepower with those parts is incredible. Great job!
it's not hard when its twin-turbo you can take a stock Windsor block and port heads and make just as much power
@@toast_fairy1419 ...and the block will hold up?
You'd have to do alot more than port some heads...
@@patrickmcdonald3427 the stock block usaully only handles like 950 then starts to crack but that was a junk one so they decided to hit it as hard as they can.
At least the head gasket didn’t go! Great stuff
They did Doctor Frankenstein and Myth Busters proud, kudos on a monster build!
One last follow up video with disassembly and plenty of carnage close ups please.
Love the MACK Truck front in the intro. Worked on them for 30years!
That was very impressive! May that block rest in peace
Projects like this are never a waste of time regardless of the outcome. They are cool as hell and I'm interested to find out decided it wanted a timeout.
Dang! You did so much work on that thing too!
975hp, that is extremely respectable power.
Good job, man.
That had stock rods and pistons no shocker that happened at 27 psi

This was awesome. Im glad you did it. Those were awesome numbers for an old 351 with ls heads. Now to watch the teardown.
Coolest thing I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time. Congrats my friend!

I'm glad there are people like you doing out there doing irrational things because the opportunity presents itself.
Thanks for building it, taking it to complete failure, and making a mess out of your dyno room for our entertainment.
The coolest engine build I've watched in a long time. Down right bad ass!!
It was awesome to witness the explosion... we all knew it was coming 👌👍😎
I love this build !!! I’d love to see it more refined with forged rods and pistons little more compression
Man I wish more people like you existed, solving the worlds questions
You created some great entertainment, thank you.
You most certainly didn't waste any time.
This is awesome and your an absolute legend for this. I can't believe your channel hasn't blown up yet.
Haha thanks! Im not much for catch phrases or stupidness so I am content with staying a nobody in RUclips land.

What an amazing achievement. Y'all did a fine job building that Frankenstein. With great results as far as I'm concerned
Awesome, I thought it sounded like a rod was knocking when there was load on it
It's been great watching this build man shame it didn't break a 1000 but at least it went out with a bang
Literal bang
The stock 351w pistons break exactly at the hp you guys are making so no surprise here lol put a good forged piston it lol
Great job at answering the old question
Can’t wait to see what the failures are.
In my career I’ve tested power tools on the dyno and nothing beats testing to failure to see where the weak points are. It’s just so much fun.
Head gasket let’s go. You can see the puffs of smoke between the head and block. Wow
