The new shop is now "The Skid Factory", don't be afraid to say it Woody! No need to call it the Wood Factory or anything! Home is where the heart is, and The Skid Factory is wherever The Skid Factory is filmed and cars that Skid are made!!!
Rule number 1 with an LS, never look at the cam bearings, ever. Loving the content Woody, as somone who's watched from day 1 you are carrying the torch so well in your own space!
Hey Woody, couple of things it would be a good idea to check. 1.The ring gaps, boosted engines have hotter combustion temps, if the ends but together the ring lands will crack off the pistons. 2. Check the rubber seals on the plates at the front and rear of the cam. Also change the bar bell in the rear of the oil gallery, both of these can cause low oil pressure if they leak. 3. Check inside any of the electrical connections that have been under water for signs of water/corrosion, if they look OK spray the insides with electrical cleaner/corrosion inhibitor. This will usually prevent electrical faults/codes down the track. It would be great to see it go into a group C style commodore with big flairs an tyres.
Love the videos since you took over Woody, I love hearing all the special colloquialisms that you use in your speech and it makes me feel like I'm learning Australian culture as well as about cars. Keep up the good work, the vids are schmicko
You got it back to front Woody. Statutory write off CANNOT be re registered ever in Aust, it’s parts only. Repairable write-offs CAN be re registered, after the items listed are cleared by a special inspection, then it must pass a regular roadworthy/safety certificate. Love your show mate 👍
I prefer to pull the V8s out the bottom v6s out the top bottom is a lot less to undo I take strut tops off brake lines abs plugs K frame bolts gearbox cross member exhaust at the cats and any wiring connecting engine or gearbox to the car undo the 13mm that joins the column to the rack undo ac compressor to save gas if no way to correctly drain the gas missed a few things but that's most of it
@trevevns3242 damn right dude, even the v6's I drop put on the subframe. We've got a large 1 tonne dolly we just roll under, lower the hoist down, block it all up and raise the hoist.
Woody your doing a great job doing this on your own good to see a group of young guys having a crack at something you haven't done before cant wait to see what you put that motor and box into hopefully an early holden👍
The first thing you did wrong was check the cam bearings lol. Once you have a look and see wear your bound to have issues lol. If you dont look they will be fine. Good work Woody. Loving the channel
@@ro63rto Really? Interesting! Today I learned... Here in Canada I'm not sure I've EVER seen a scented windshield washer fluid (that's what we North Americans call it :P).
My tips after chewing a few cam lobes in the past, always replace cam bearings and retainer plate, plus at least update to LS7 Lifters. Dont keep driving with bad lifter tick, the lifter can completely fail and fail deeper down often wrecking the block not just a cam lobe! Change oil regularly, small oil holes in the lifters get stuff stuck in them, then loose pressure and start to fail/tick/chew the cam.
6:17 the L77 engine is a 6.0 litre V8 not a 6.2 litre. The LS3 in the series 2 is a 6.2 litre. I say this Ute had aftermarket wheels on it which were taken off before you got it - the wheels that are on it now are SV6 wheels.
For the conversion you will need everything! mate of mine did this conversion into a SV6. He ditched the car before the project was finished and he was cursing like a veteran trucker. Needed the full Loom- Engine and Dash, BCM and ECU (They are Linked), Heater Hoses. List goes on. That parts car will basically be nothing but a shell once your done.
The engine is going into a Suzuki jimny and the bolt is to ensure the torque when it comes off the line really does bend the chassis……yeah I think I got that right 😂 mint epp mate enjoy 🤙🏻
Can't believe Woody can't remember Taz' name. And he didn't say lemony fresh he just said lemon fresh when they finished the spit shine in space jam. There's a throwback, haven't seen that in a while
Appreciate the shout out to the USA viewers. Here in the USA we would see this Holden as a modern day Chevy El Camino. Then there is the whole debate here on what is really a "truck". You have half the folks saying body on frame is a "real" truck vs unibody is a car pretending to be a "truck" haha. This car/truck would have sold well here in the USA but the "truck" market is flooded and competition would be tough probably why it never came here. Personally? My favorite hot rod truck of all time is the 1991 GMC Syclone. Man I would love to have one of those...Cheers from California USA to all my Australian car loving Brothers and Sisters!!👍
In the US, cars like the Ute were what we'd call a 'coupe utility', or most folks would say "Like an El Camino". Pickup trucks here are just smaller versions of larger trucks more or less, and anything that looks like a coupe or sedan with a bed would be considered something else. Technically, we had these all the way back in the 30's with several cars having truck-style beds or a trunk space that could be converted to a bed, but back then truck cabs and car cabs weren't really all that different looking. For something really comparable to a Ute, we had the Ford Ranchero first in 57, followed later by the El Camino/GMC Sprint/Caballero and the Dodge Rampage/Plymouth Scamp, and they also sold the Toyota Corona Mark II pickup here (that one looked much more like what we'd consider a pickup truck, but it definitely had roots in the Mark II passenger car) here. Later on we got the Subaru Baja, and I feel like I might be missing a couple other ones.
Here in the US we had the El Camino and the Ford Ranchero which are both technically utes although we never really called them that. We also had the Subaru Bramby which was called the Brat here. Utes are cool.
As a viewer from the states that vehicle would be absolutely amazing to have here. There are also ways to get them registered legally which which would make it a great cars and coffee vehicle.
Hi there, going to do a conversion with a 6ltr+ 6l80e into a defender. the gear lever[shifter] plus wiring and BCM for the gbox weren't supplied, but still trying to get the stuff from the wrecker, if you don't want yours, let me know... much appreciated!! looking forward to the rest of this build... cheers guys.
The VF Sedan/Monaro were sold in the USA as the Chevrolet SS, a Guy in Tennessee imports VF Utes and Wagons, and uses new parts for the Chevrolet SS including the Firewall and Dash to make them Lefthand Drive, and sells them Road Legal & Regoed..google Left Hand Utes USA.
Nice video mate 👍🏼 I think the kit will go in a patrol haha Is it possible to list the stuff you changing along with that supper charger this will go good to go in my vh 👍🏼
I love the engineering of the LS onwards GM stuff. Just two gonzo bolts holding a crossmember or bracket on instead of 12 small ones like Mercedes or Beemer in inconvenient places, so good from a mechanics standpoint
Loving the videos Woody, absolutely killing it. It doesnt matter as you are stripping it but you could of jump started it from under the bonnet on the passenger side there is the red post and the negative is there also
Too late now but pulling it out the bottom with the kframe and trans attached is the way to do it. Pulled heaps out working at holden and you could have the entire assembly out by morning smoko
My mum had 4cyl VH wagon, trimatic and 3.9 mini salsbury. When the engine died I dropped in a new one for her but it had the euro carby and emissions on it, what a PITA that was to figure out.
I had a VC sedan, it had lived it's whole life on the Moreton Bay islands off Brisbane. Had under 100k on the clock but was completely rusted out. We mad plywood patch panels for the boot and passenger foot wells. Was gutless but she never gave up.
I don't know why but for some reason I feel like at some stage Al's gonna get a SoS call to come in and save the day on this build lol idk why but it's 1 thing taking something apart but putting it all back together whole other story.. good luck broski

Yeah I’ve learnt some new things! I’ve never done it before so I don’t know the process. What would be involved to get something like this back in the road? (Assuming it’s a repairable write off)
@@theskidfactory needs to be inspected I'm guessing by the QLD government because that's where you live to ensure it's been repaired correctly, legally (it's not a different car rebirthed) and is safe to use on the road again
Honestly most declared write-offs are either rebirthed dodgily, or used as parts cars to repair cars that are damaged but not written off. Almost no one would bother to get a car like this back on the road legally, because you would at least need to replace the loom in the entire car.
Repairable write off needs a VIV certificate. Essentially an engineer ticks off that repairs done are to all VSS and that pretty much it's "as per factory" it's not that painful but need to factor in the cost is all
Good thing about the L77 it came from factory able to run E85 but bad thing about them is single row timming chain upgrade to double row if can might save engine if the single row fails
Hate to be a donkey, but the L77 is a 6.0L like the L76, L98 and LS2 motors, unlike the 6.2L ls3 mentioned in the vid. Sorry to be annoying, great vid, keen to follow along 😎
Hey Woody - love the VID - keep 'em coming. If the owner of the ute wants to sell the tonneau cover - please let me know. I have an average one that could go in its place to keep the rain etc out. The one on that ute looks in good nick. IN Brissie so easy as to do...
The V8 Holden Ute is one of my dream cars. I've only seen one real one in the flesh, had to go to the UK to see it. And I drove an Opel Omega based replica once, but that was not quite right: wheelbase too short.
Hey Woody, not sure if you are aware, but might be at this point, Supercheap make a perfect fit drip tray for that exact engine stand you got from em. Hope that helps. Keep up the solid work.
Cool shop Woody. Not sure about your state but in WA, statutory write offs cannot be re registed. Only repairable writeoffs. I would think laws in Aus would be same but the variance from state to state is rediculous. Keep on the builds mate. Im trying to get my hq one tonner finnished.
FYI, the 6L80 has an integrated computer that controls it and that looks like it would have been in the flood waters. Not sure if you're planning to reuse that trans, but unless you confirmed it drives and shifts correctly I'd be on the lookout for issues there.
I think that motor is going into a 2003 Honda Accord.they you have converted into all wheel drive..! And yes I'm from the States and love the Holden Utes
