I think if the intake doesn’t clear the hood you should just hammer the hood out instead of cutting it, it will just add to the sleeper look having a beat up hood versus being able to see that there’s something going on under the hood
He could also just cut a hole and put one of those crappy pep boys fake vents over the top of it, making it look like he was covering some damage with the cheapest piece of garbage he could get his hands on.
Can't wait to get this thing back up and running!
Can't wait to hear it go vroom 👍
Me too
Me too ging! This build series made me buy a 240 to engine swap myself next summer, so thanks for the motivation 👍
Hope this one stays running, have you looked in to what oil other people are running? 5w-20 seems thin
Spotted one build mistake, you should have had the crank pulley in place to centre the main seal before you tightened the front cover. What made you decide not to upgrade the rocker bearings?
Hey Gingium, quick Fusion 360 tip for calibrating a canvas. If you include a ruler in the photo then you can get an accurate and quick calibration. I also try to get as far away from the part as possible to avoid camera distortion.
Good idea with the ruler!
camera distortion can be combat if you use 2x-3x digital zoom on phones
which most modern phones have that
I honestly can't believe how far the channel has come. From video production to just the evolution in build quality. There's tons to takeaway from these builds. We appreciate you uploading and sharing your builds like this man. Appreciate the effort and passion you put into your amazing rides. Can't wait to see this Volvo smoke Tesla's in the quarter mile. Maybe not really, but we can hope😂🤞
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the support!
For real though, Molly was his first real project, filming videos at his house, to the first shop and all those builds, then to his second shop and so forth. Not to mention how good he's gotten at what he does, fabricating isn't the easiest thing in the world and this man can make some real cool stuff (Mid engine Eclipse). He built a mini truck for drifting and he's pretty good at that too, next to the EJ swapped Miata (which is still the coolest thing I've ever seen), then the camper bus, etc. I swear, his videos helped me get through my last few years of high school, I was always excited for the next video to see what kind of build he could come up with.
It seems like so long ago that he was red haired and hot gluing wires together. legit inspiring to watch everything he's done
@@Scuffed_Gambit technically his first project was fred the focus but yeah essentially molly was the first REAL project
I found him in when he built the green rally miata
If I’m being 100% honest man the Eclipse was probably one of the sickest builds I just couldn’t get into. Nothing personal, I just could never wrap my head around the build like I could with some of your other cars. I’m so happy to see the Volvo make a return, can’t wait to see it hit the streets!
Hey at least you appreciate its sickness! Thanks for sticking around regardless!
@@_Gingium_ agreed amazing fab work, awesome ideas.. just not a mitsu guy...
100% agree. I've watched all his videos for a few years now, but I never really "wanted" to watch the Eclipse ones. Just did it out of support.
@@speeddemon0712 don’t get me wrong, the concept is probably one of the coolest on RUclips, it’s the first build I’ll tell my friends about when I show them the channel. The technicality of it all just lost me, but it’s so freaking cool to see the growth
Just an FYI, I'd run at least a quart extra of oil with that 10296 oil pump. They can cavitate the pan on some applications.
Good to know! Thank you! Pan also has a bigger capacity
For a moron like me what is cavitating the tank please
@@craigpearson9063 it’s a high volume, high pressure pump. At higher rpm it’s basically too efficient and can suck the pan dry due to the increased flow/volume
@@craigpearson9063 Basically means you’re sucking up air (in any volume). Your delivered oil pressure is overall lower as air can be compressed where as the oil can’t be. Think of it like a boat impeller. When it cavitates in the water, your speed drops, your motor works harder, and when you do get over the cavitation, it catches really hard and hurts the impeller (it weakens the fins over time). Hope this helps.
@@nikdelano thanks
The sleeper volvo is my favourite build of yours! Really happy it's back and now with extra production quality :)
Make sure to have the front cover centered before you torque it down. Either get the tool or do what most do and use the balancer, then torque it or you’ll eat the front seal pretty quick. Also, don’t trust those rockers for long before you replace the press in trunion caps with some kind of setup with bushings and snap rings. Can’t wait to see the Volvo back up and rippin!!! Manifold will look sexy peekin out the hood too 😎
Supposed to be a sleeper tho :(
Thank you for all the recommendations! Will definitely have to retorque that front cover and get upgraded rockers.
Was legit gunna comment this
The thing about junkyard 5.3 engines...they're stronger than you'd think (I know, iron block), but you can throw horsepower at it and it could care less
I mean, hell, Cleetus made it work with Ruby, and that car runs great
Also Caleb, you deserve a mil subs for what you do, not a whole lotta channels out there that show literally the entire build process of a project
It sure does. The Texas Speed motor he put in after getting tired of blowing up junkyard garbage works great.
You’re a legend! The fact you disassembled the motor and received it back from the machine shop in the same video is the difference between shitty mechanical videos and good ones! From one petrolhead to another I salute you!
Completely forgot you had this thing. Great change of pace from the Eclipse.
You even painted it like a redblock engine, that's awesome!
Your videos are like poetry, everything is so smooth and well done. Thank you for always putting 110% into your videos❤
Please please please change the needle bearing style press fit rocker bearings. They dismantle themselves and send metal through the engine at high loads. Really well documented and cheap to fix.
I think that you should at least upgrade your rockerarms on the LS. Upgrade the trunions to Roller bearings. The stock ones fall apart. But I am really loving this build.
Oooooo yes sir one of my favorite sleeper builds on RUclips right now. Let’s go ging
Posting this comment before finishing the video, I think with that Holley intake manifold. If it doesn’t clear the hood it’d make more of a sleeper approach to make some calculated dents from the bottom up.
Side note: I’d love to see this thing on a Rocky Mountain race week
Yes and yes!
@@_Gingium_ glad to get the seal of approval 😄
I’m so happy you’re working on the Volvo again. 😁 I have a 83 Volvo 240 with a 5.3 LS AR5 5-Speed Swap. Same color as yours except it’s a sedan instead of a wagon. I started building it in 2019 but it’s been very slow progress, for similar reasons as yours actually, I moved to a different city and realized it’s a lot harder to fabricate a project like this in a apartment garage with no money. Anyways now all I need is a fuel pump and ECU and it’s ready to start finally. Your Volvo videos have kept me inspired over the years as mine has sat in the garage untouched.
You have so many amazing cars, all thanks to your hard work and ingenuity. I love seeing you learn and improve on everything you've done so far, can't wait to see what's next!
Hey Ging! Happy to see you finally get the 5.3! I own a 04’ Yukon 5.3 with the Gen 3 and E85 option (L59 engine code). If you need any extra parts (bolts,o-rings etc.) I’m happy to help out!
this episode was really refreshing to watch. THE VOLVO'S BACK, BABY!
Ok, gotta say this: I've been following and watching Gingium since he was installing a front lip on Molly and sideskirts and all that so quite a long time now.. I don't know him personally(but I'd like to meet him at some point) but I can say I'm proud to see the quality level he has reached in the builds, from tools and just the way of doing stuff, to new difficult challenges and basically pioneering. Keep it up, the only thing I could ask for is more videos as I can't get enough lol :)) I bought my first NA Miata 2months "because" of Gingium. Peace ✌️
Ahhhahahahahaha. I laughed at that red-block joke....that was pretty good
Full circle, I started watching this channel when you visited Taylor Ray in the sleeper Volvo and now it's back!
Looking great! Damn I want a plasma cutter table. Surprised I've never seen someone pour oil into the pickup like that. Clever.
When you're threading a blind hole (a hole that doesn't pass all the way through) you should use a fluted tap. It clears the chips and helps prevent stuck and broken taps.
Ging, i recommend building or buying an oil pump primer for the LS engine. they're easy to make and just add security to not starving your engine of oil on first start
Thats a beautiful engine for that Volvo, that will be a beast! Volvos have always been close to my heart so its gonna be so cool to see this swap all the way to the end
I love the nod to the redblock!
Dude you are a beast. All this in one video. It would be like 12 videos for other youtubers. Amazing work bro
I realy don’t understand why this channel doesn’t have at least 300k views on every video ?! Keep going 💪🏻, hi from France 👋🏻
Your uploads are what I watch RUclips for ........wish I could afford to be a patron, but on benefits here in the UK so don't have much income.......keep up the great work .....
I watch a lot of engine builds, yours was very satisfying to watch! Can’t wait to see that in the Volvo
People talk alot of trash about LS swaps... but they really just make sense. And you make it all look so easy when I know it's really not. Going to be an awesome ride!!
Your build quality has gotten so immaculate lately, the attention to detail with your engines specifically is artistic. The video production quality is way better too, it's awesome to see you hone your craft/the passion that goes into it. Can't wait to see where this build goes and the projects that follow
Finaly the Volvo is back! But please do a trunion upgrade for the rocker arms! Those needlebearings is going to pop out of the non-secure caps. Get an uprade with snap rings to secure those needlebearings where they should be or solid bronze bearings 😊
It’s awesome that he’s getting big enough to do projects like this on the side! Didn’t have to take it apart then wait to make another video on it
CNC Plasma is really paying for itself here. Great utilisation looks very neat.
I can't wait to see how this ends up!
the volvo got me to fall in love with this channel to begin with, i'm psyched to see you working on it again! i can't wait to see it kicking more ass!
that read and silver just pops lol such a great combo
this is the car that got me into the channel, excited to see it back
Could you do a video on your buddies focus st in the back? I really enjoyed the little build you did for your Honda fit and that would be similar
The level of quality in these builds are untouched.
Caleb is channeling Logic vibes with the glasses and hat combo
Oh man... I was about to work and now I need to watch your video! LOL
I have a dream, and it's a lot like what you do! I hope one day to make 10% of what you did.
Wow, the production quality is very good!
You should pin the crank. Will definitely help with boosted applications.
Eh? Presume you're referring to front pulley pinning? Generally done on supercharged motors as the front pulley has to drive the charger...nothing to do with boost & not required on a turbo motor.
Invest in a pulley remover/installer, worth every penny the day you break the bolt with the impact! Great to see some 240 content!
i’ve been watching since fm6 content and was even in some races with you on it, absolutely unreal how far you’ve come and i’m glad to see you still making content and thriving on your platforms
Might want to do the bushing upgrade for the trunnions you don’t want needle bearings destroy your new motor
Dont Forget the Delica... Delica owners are looking forward to seeing what you do to the motor!
I really miss the quantity of videos your uploading but boy, the quality is 100% 🔥
Yoo gingium you gotta use that intake, just dent the hood up to make it fit!
Hell ya been waitin on this beast
Guess it won't be ready for Saturdays Volvo show 😉 lmfao
slam the hood untill it bends enough to close🤣
adds to the sleeper look if the hoods messed up
Creative, nicely produced promo for simplisafe, dig it.
Not going to lie it’s really nice to see the blue car instead of the red car 😅
I've been waiting for this for a while now ! I'm glad to see the volvo is back!
Love it, nice to see brick back in action
Wasn't expecting that but glad the Volvo is gonna be back and better than ever
“It’s so simple, I’m paranoid I’m forgetting something.”
Welcome to old-school pushrod V8s my friend. Stay a while!
One of my favorite vids, cant wait to see this completed
Such a great video! Lovely content
So good to see the sleeper back
I love these builds, kinda wish we could go back to the routes of cheap/budget builds. I’m not successful enough to afford 1000hp engines and stuff 😂
Absolute Dream Volvos are of main, Love to see you continue building it! Good luck!
5w-20 seems kinda light for this engine, more motorsports friendly oils like 15w-40 is more the norm for engines of this caliper. Hope this one last :)
Loving the engine build videos! They are so satisfying to watch. Building my first one too!
Nice redblock. Except, on the volvo engine both the front and rear main seal holders are bare aluminium. It would have looked much better if you masked off those and mounted them afterwards.
So much progress in one video. This was dope as fuck
Cool to see how far your channel has grown bro.
You should use a better oil like a amsoil also a thicker oil if your going to be beating on it maybe a oil cooler.
Yea was thinking the same thing, 5w-20 seems really thin for this power output
Zep smoke Odor eliminator. Grey and yellow can. I was cleaning my grandmas basement out when she passed and found my grandpas old cig roller and extremely old tobacco. It made the whole place smell this stuff worked. Make sure to put it in the sun it works better at getting the odors.
Love your channel, and inspiration for me finishing my 5.3 240 swap.... Also amazing how fast you get views.. It takes me weeks to get hundreds of views .. you get that in 5 minutes !!
Maybe work on your thumbnails a bit. They dont look too interesting even when the content is
@@Technoinandoutside thanks man, I need to improve across the board.
Dude please look into a trunion upgrade for the rockers. Those stocks that are just pressed in can come apart and throw little pins all over your motor. Ask me how I know, Che makes a great kit, cheap and super easy to install. Good insurance id look into.
been loving the content man, the video production had gotten so much better. u need to buy Fred the ford focus back and rebuild it haha.
I’m excited you’re bringing back the Volvo 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
0:16 95' TO 97' FORD RANGER YEEAAHHHHHHH
You literally make building an engine look like leisurely playing with legos 😂😂
Yeah! Another sleeper Volvo episode! Been waiting for this😁
hahahah redblock ls thats a good one...love the volvo content man, probably my favorite
Keep the intake manifold on and fabricate a subtle power bulge on the the hood, and paint in factory colour.
I would love to just work around the shop with you so I could learn a fraction of your knowledge
Cut the hood for intake clearance then put on one of the "ricer" bolt on hood scoops that cover it
I never thought I would see someone fist 🤜 a intake😂
Oh finally! been waiting to see it running again ;)
the eclipse vids were great but cant wait to get back into your older cars and stuff
You should have replaced the trunnion bearings, if the needles come out at somewhat high rpm it will kill the engine. Most ls guys opt out for ones with c clips. They’re actually cheap on summit.
LETS FUCKING GOOO BEEN WAITING ON A THE VOLVO TO RETURN
Only found your channel recently but coming from turbo LS stuff off My own channel, im beyond stoked!!
gingium looks like thomas shelby with those aglasses
It would be really cool if u Paint the bay of the Volvo, so when you open it its like a "holy shit" Moment with the LS and the painted bay
You can probably turn the intake around for better clearance. I've seen a few guys do that
Nice Chopped hat man.. I have the older white version & the Chopped flag/shop banner. Same one in my garage. Engine is looking bad ass.........
Really really impressive 🤩👍
You really should paint underside of hood an clean an paint the bay bud 😮💨👌🏻.
Return of the brick!! Woohoo!
Am I smelling participation in a drive and drag event in the future?
I love the creativity
