Where's the guy that was talking trash about steve and said the SML would never make 3000hp without lifting the heads? Steve knows how to build an engine for super high boost and also cruise down the highway for a 1000 miles reliably.
I'm more curious as to WHO he is, not where he is!! I can think of less than 10 ppl on earth with more high hp engine DESIGN/BUILDING knowledge and expertise. And 6-7 of them are in their 80s and 90s lol These are $100k works of art, that can, and will, do WHATEVER you demand of them
From a design and engineering standpoint, the SML is equally amazing as the SMX is and to achieve over 3200HP in a reliable small block powerplant is definitely something that earns both respect and admiration. Hats off to you Steve. Of course our favorite chewy Dewey stole the show as usual. LOL Such a good boy. Cheers!
Still crazy how you are pumping so much air your vent louvers get sucked closed. Would be interesting to put a baro sensor in the room or manometer to see exactly how much the pressure in the room is right at the end as the louvers close. I doubt you are pulling a vacuum, or if so, long enough to make a difference today.... but in the future with these massive air pumps you are building / dynoing, eventually I think you will be pulling a vacuum and possibly will be effecting the output. Been years since I built cars and have no desire too anymore, but love the videos and all the tech. Especially how you share a lot of your knowledge for everyone. Keep it up man, thanksl!!
Amazing power with an LS based small block (427?) with small 83mm turbos! You have reason to be proud of this engine Steve. It is a game changer just like your SMX has proven to be.
This is sweet to watch. The engine owner actually wrenches on his own motor to help with the dyno work. This shows how dyno's actually go, big HP is hard work!
I got a feeling that the SML is going to be a big seller. Imagine how much time and money Cleetus would have saved if the Sml was available a handful of years ago.
It’s the price of 3-4 built tsp motors. It’s more about the peace of mind because that motor shouldn’t be bothered at 2k. That’s all Leroy would use for a very long time till he dialed in 1/8 mile alot
Let's all have a moment to appreciate that this dude is at the top of the game, and sharing his secrets, when most people are🤐 As an Aussie can't wait to see your Barra rendition come to life! The record over here is de-stroked. Are you thinking de-stroked long rod or taller billet block in the future?
@@--_DJ_-- I don't know. The race tracks and tires can only be SO good. Know what I mean? Whatever it is I'm here to watch it and learn and be entertained. Have a good night!
I love your attitude. You're smart and confident , but not cocky like another engine builder I watch. Previous videos you stand behind your work Your a top notch man. This SML and SMX engines are just mind blowing! The amount of work and design in them
Thanks for showing the not so glamorous parts of a dyno session. And what's totally amazing: despite the tuning problems this friggin engine made CONSTANTLY around 3000 horsepower! 😲😎👍
SML with a Tick Performance TR6060 in Leroy would be killer. I use a Tick Performance TR6060 in my small tire Z32 with an ATI adapter plate and its been one of the best purchases ive made in a long time.
Steve, you have a lot of guy's that build their own engines who watch all your video's. In your teaching you often talk about shop efficiency. If you'd look over all the little tools and fixtures you've designed you could market a lot of them. It's be a good way to increase your merchandise sales.
You guys are so busy!! And always at the highest level 👌🏻 and yes 100K worth of engineering art that’s so strong! Thanks for so many cool vids Steve & Co 🏁
Just another freaking level. How the guy can pick up on what the motor is doing with that such high torque No's. and short sweep times, is unreal. Walking data collection machine
Steve! Great video as ever! Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations of dynoing an engine, and showing that it ain't easy. But as ever with engineering and the wealth of knowledge you have, there's always a solution! Good job Steve! Good job Dewey photobombing the video! 🙂
Hello Steve from Orlando!!! If you can remember in the staging lanes a big white dog saying hello!!! Ferox and Dewy would have a blast together 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your experience and expertise. I appreciate it and I’m sure thousands of others do as well.
13:09 for my experience, anodizing is only done either as a visual component or for longevity. Anodizing is simply a very hard shell on the outside of an aluminum part. Not sure why some people would anodize and caps as I don't see any advantage to it
It's all about the process. Great look at diagnostics of solving the puzzle. Steve, you need to go racing soon, my brain needs a rest from all this learning. 😅 great video!
Steve Thanks for explaining the head and block Water and Oil paths you build these Engines and you know them inside out you are always thinking out side the Box , Block so to say on how to improve on your exceptional Design of your Engines is no wonder you can make the Horse power you do well done and for all the information on the how to of each step in the build Cheers
@Steve Morris I used to work at Steve Schmidt racing, and the dyno room and race shop looked very similar to your shop. I know when I worked there, he sent engines all over the world to his clients. He was doing something right. And obviously you are doing pretty well for yourself! 👍
Hello Steve just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to always showing me something new just so you know I love the channel and I am saving all my $$$ I just purchase a racecar but I have to wait until next year for the engine but will reach out to you for that ones again thank you and god bless you and your family.
The proof is in the pudding right here! Everything just keeps getting better and better at Steve Morris Engines. Pretty soon people will be able to drop an SME motor in their everyday work vehicle and have a real sleeper vehicle. If I had the cash, I would definitely have an engine like that in my everyday driver. I can't wait to see the new engine for the wagon!👍🏼💯🇬🇺
"There's something going on here" x10 times lol. I get it. Did custom motor builds and tuning on classic porsches, efi conversions etc etc. It was always a battle. Always something somewhere and it was just a constant war of attrition until we had beat out every little gremlin. Good job
The fact that you can see it sucking the air vent on the back wall closed during a pull is really a testament to how much air this thing is moving. That engine is a black hole.
Also the statement about the dyno grabbing the motor and not running away with it was a clear reflection of what the chassis dyno does. Change the controller to a yourdyno on the dynocom!!!. Love max from New Zealand.
Dewey was sure loving him some pets from the shop visitor!! I can honestly say, I don’t think Steve Morris Engines would be as successful without Dewey’s help and supervision.
I have a question. Can you calculate the CFM from a 7 second pull? And than subtract that number from the volume of the dyno room. I wonder if you're pulling a vacuum in the dyno room.
Looking at the exhuast vents towards the end of the pull, it looks like the room as a whole is pulling a vacuum. Tom Nelson ran into a similar issue years ago and fixed it by removing the dyno room window. I'd be curious if opening your door would change the outcome at all
Sad news in the RUclips automotive family. Every mechanic's nightmare. Halfass Kustoms had a fire and Brents shop burned to the ground. He lost everything in the shop, tools, rare parts and the projects he was working on. Brent and Esther can use all the help we can give them to get Halfass Kustoms back up and running. Brent posted a video and there is information there.
When Steve made the first SML block i messaged cleetus and said you better get you one of them units… of course he never saw my message but Leroy would be on rails with one of those and some more weight added to the car 💪🏻
I see it now your going add a fuel gauge for dyno tank lol grease video what a awesome engine and super impressive hp numbers I hope one day I can drive something with that kind of power thanks for sharing
I worked with aluminum the past 20 years. Anadise is a corrosion resistant process. Hard coat is a surface treatment for producing hard grinable surface.

Gotta love Steve! Not afraid to show that bad with the good.
Dude was high as a kite and still managed to make this great video
Thanks for explaining the cylinder head and block fluids paths. What an improvement over previous / other designs.
3200 hp on 42 lbs of boost! Holy crap!!!!
And only like 427ci! Incredible. This is more HP than TF dragsters made back in the glory days.

It never ceases to amaze me at the talent that your shop has... I wish I had half a budget just to have you guys put together a small block for me!!!
I've been saying for a while now, before the BBC to SMX swap in Mullet, that SML would be perfect for Mullet!

Yep
I love this sort of troubleshooting.

@7 minutes those are some beautiful blocks and heads…😊😊😊
Yes, they are beautiful. It doesn’t surprise me that Steve caresses his engines.
Leroy with an SML could retake the stick shift world record.
SML with a Tick Performance TR6060 in Leroy would be killer. I use a Tick Performance TR6060 in my small tire Z32 with an ATI adapter plate and its been one of the best purchases ive made in a long time.
Theyd destroy the engine in 5 runs.
@@bigvegass cry more poor little boy
I’ve been saying this since Steve announced the SML.
Leroy would be so nasty with an SML
Pretty sweet that you can make something that works as well as it does and looks fantastic while doing it.
Most of your stuff is way over my head but love the detail for me to learn every video is something for me to learn thank you!

Your engine dyno tuning process amazes me 😊😊😊how such little adjustments make big changes 😊
10% isnt a little adjustment
Woohoo! Been waiting on this one.
Imagine a T-Shirt with a family tree of Steve’s engines.A picture and core specs for each of them.

I like the lower outside vent opening when the turbo’s spool up…awesome!
As a machinist and motor head. I thank you Steve for this awesome content.
Block and heads are stunning works of art, well all of it, for that matter, and all the SME crew should be proud of this. Just amazing power levels.
Awesome engine, Steve, Thanks for sharing with us !

Absolutely amazing. Next up SMF? Would be great to see a ford based block for similar engine conversions.
I’ve, some of us have been waiting patiently for this video Steve Morris.
SML-3243!
Yeah Buddy!!!
Awesome as Always.....Really enjoyed this one..Thank you
As an old retired race engine builder I am truly impressed with the level of engineering you have put into the old 312 Y-Block & Windsor heads...

I could watch these dyno vids all day and never get bored!
It's all about the process. Great look at diagnostics of solving the puzzle. Steve, you need to go racing soon, my brain needs a rest from all this learning. 😅 great video!
The crazy thing is that it makes over 3200hp running out of turbo... Steve, what's the max boost you recommend for the SML?
Mr OWL?????
He said it in the video, 70 PSI max.
Such a simple solution for blowing head gaskets. And it's just common sense. Good thinking.

Great video thanks for sharing your time with us
This guys going to have a bit of chassis tuning to do with 1400 extra ponies but I bet he's excited to drive this beast.
i've never seen an ls make such horsepower, especially that it's making boost that an ls can handle before blowing up
Pretty sure that small tire Chevelle is gonna need big tires now!😂
I do like that.
Pulling the pan, checking the bearings......and THEN shipping it.

Looks and sounds amazing. Steve please do one with Mirror turbos as that is the only thing that would take this to the next level of awesome.
This motor package is impressive, im saving up my pennies for a powerplant from Steve. It's going into a 93 foxbody lx drag and drive project of mine.
"There's something going on here" x10 times lol. I get it. Did custom motor builds and tuning on classic porsches, efi conversions etc etc. It was always a battle. Always something somewhere and it was just a constant war of attrition until we had beat out every little gremlin. Good job

Interesting to see that car on the dyno hub after engine install to see the difference in power/torque!!
I have a question. Can you calculate the CFM from a 7 second pull? And than subtract that number from the volume of the dyno room. I wonder if you're pulling a vacuum in the dyno room.
Steve is a freaking wizard when it comes to buildind engines I mean who would've ever thought about getting over 3000 hp out of a LS based engine

Question I have on your main bolt holes do you use healcoils or thread inserts? I was wondering about that.

too cool talk about a great design thanks great show
Anodizing for aluminium is for corrosion protection (in aviation anyway). Certainly not needed in an area with plenty of oil floating around.
Dewey for president!
That would make a great T shirt
When Steve made the first SML block i messaged cleetus and said you better get you one of them units… of course he never saw my message but Leroy would be on rails with one of those and some more weight added to the car 💪🏻
The process of anodization is not only protective for the metal but also a heat treatment and lubrication assist.
I see it now your going add a fuel gauge for dyno tank lol grease video what a awesome engine and super impressive hp numbers I hope one day I can drive something with that kind of power thanks for sharing
Matt if I understand the 12v starter setup on those pony motors! They are a belt drive to the pully that you put your hand start rope.
I wish there was more SML content. I know in time there will be. But I love that engine
Maybe a dumb question but do you run stress analysis in solidworks when designing these engines?
Very cool Steve
I worked with aluminum the past 20 years. Anadise is a corrosion resistant process. Hard coat is a surface treatment for producing hard grinable surface.
Garret and Jackstand are gonna show you the weakness. If there is one.
Bueatiful job Steve! He is about to have a good year. But If there's a weak link in his driveline at all he'll find it. lol
