Pat Fenis a lot happens behind the scenes though. Can’t assume its the same way as they show on cam. Not to mention they have a nice setup to start with.
My father and I picked out a Z71 Silverado brand new in 1999. He and I worked for 10+ years side by side in that truck every day, every family vacation was taken in it, and tons of awesome adventures. My father passed away, but I still drive it every day to and from work. Several things I refuse to change on it just because it reminds me of him. Nearly 21 years and almost 300k miles have been done with either my dad or myself at the wheel. A new engine will be in it's future, as I will never live a day without that truck in my life. This engine would be awesome to make sure it keeps going for many more years.
Truck engine! My 1990 GMC, 4x4 is clean. I'm the original owner. I take care frequent maintenance. It's a 5.7 350, (stock) with 302K miles. I've learned a lot. Thanks.
Of all the builds you have done, this is probably my favorite. A clean, quality build. Great component choices at every step. Every car should have an engine this good.
Tell her about all the Chinese working 24/7 and no time to raise there children and then be discarded there after so there communistic gov can hurry up and slave the next generation.
I could use this engine for sure, my 12 year old daughter ask me how can China build a hospital in a few days and its taking me a decade and counting to build a car, 😥.
I would be honored to have such a power plant in my sons 86 IROC. I have enjoyed and used the info you bestow. Been watching Pat for years. Big fan. The engine would be super nice to have. But the real treat is watching Pat over the years.
Shit.. I’ve been watching you guys since you were on. I remember when the first car repair show “shade tree mechanic” back in the 90’s. They just did repair back then. Shows about this subject is what it’s grown into.
This really needs to go into my shop truck 70 Chevy Short bed C-10. Mine has 3 dead cylinders from the cam going flat. I have been scared to try the LS I'm after all a carb guy and wiring isn't my thing. You made this look easy. Win or no this is still a great show.......I'm 53 and have been a fan forever. Keep up the good work.
Just enter the Giveaway. My 88 iron could really benefit from the 5.3l It has set for 10 years with 7,633 org miles. Since I had spine surgery and unable to work on it right now. Love watching power nation.
Hi I've had 3 5.3 Chevy trucks I've worked them hard and they come through . I bought a 69 Corvette convertible for retirement my plan has been to put a 5.3 in the vette to make it cruise and have enough power and be efficient on fuel thank you Alan
I applaud Pat for showing his mettle, in using the 598 BBF Kaase engine in this segment. Its the same BBF that out paced Pats 632 BBC on the Dyno, to Pats dismay. Both are total beasts and I'd take either one.
Nice build, however I prefer simple. 1976 Nova SS, LT1 (1970) Holley 750 double feed, double pump, Edelbrock intake, Hooker Headers, TH400, 12 bolt (4:10). I can work on it in my garage, don't need a qazillion $$ in tools. The only "HI TECH" thing I own is a timing light. I have owned this car for 40 years, and it's been a rock solid build. Scared a few passengers as well. : )
As a retired senior citizen on a fixed income I can't afford to buy an engine and fix it up. This would help on my next project that will probably go to me 19 year old grandson.
Going through a divorce. first thing i do? Finally start that project thats been vetoed for 14 years. Help a brother out!! I already am shopping for a transmission. 200k on tie power train. Slips every once in awhile.Bring this 2006 sierra crew cab to life! It's gonna be a bad little sleeper. Love the channel and the knowledge. Hoping for that... i finally won something moment! Keep up the great work!
Im actually so thankful for the LS lifter trays. Ive made a lot of money doing 2 or 3 hour cam swaps for customers and friends over the years. I think the Hardest was a 4th gen camaro. Only because half the engine is under the firewall. The c5 and c6 corvettes were easier than the 4th gen camaros. Actually the worst was the LS4 in the pontiac grand prix. Only ever did one of those.
This would go nicely in my 72 Monte Carlo. I daily drive the old girl so the chance for some extra power and reliability cannot be missed even if the odds are low. Can’t hurt to try. Good luck to everyone!!
Phil Auten yeahhh it’s pretty bad, but ford doesn’t have any strong and basically built old motors you can pull from wrecking yards and throw boost at without much trouble, that and the ls is just so simple and easy to swap into anything and make great power, and if it grenades there’s plenty more to pick for another $270. No brand loyalty, I’m just a hot rodder I guess.
When I was starting to work on my own car back in the 1960s, my first few cars were made in the 1950s. They were simple and you didn't need specialized tools. Gas was cheap and so were the cars. I didn't pay more than $100 for a car until I was 18. I didn't know a lot about auto mechanics back then, Now cars are computerized and sensitive, and they cost a lot more, even for the 'beaters'. They aren't as much fun to tinker with.
Take a LR4 4.8L and hop it up on the Vortec heads, roller rockers, springs, machined porting with a 6.0 stock cam, HV&HP oil pump, clevite bearings on mains, cam, connecting rods, no boring or stroking
I made me a ford guy but great engine regardless. Love arp products myself. Ive sadly learned with watching and learning from these guys that unless you got something 1974 or older in my state any engine changing is illegal. So much for usa being land of free.
Using clean gloves would help with oils or unwanted substances on any surfaces. Our hands do have oils seep out. That being said, the hands in this video all seem to be quite clean. Keep up the good work guys.
I got the 07 nbs lh6 in my truck. I like the flex version of it but it had issues. This one is much simpler. Super easy to work on. I hate trying to find round coil packs haha. I'm going to be doing the ls7 conversion here soon with stage 1 thumper cam. I got a tuner, full custom 2.5 inch 304 dual exhaust. With a dual in and out cherry bomb extreme. I'm gonna a be buffing up the trans woth a hd sunshell and stronger gears and a chromoly drive shaft.. I daily drive it. I haven't done the intake yet but this motor has a good intake already. It has the 243 stamped heads not the 799s like I thought it did. I disabled the afm but need to actually get rid of it.
I would love nothing more to win this engine right now. Ive been looking at ls engines and for what i want and the parts is way out of my budget. This engine has basically almost everything that i would need for my boosted/nitrous application in my 1979 Chevy C10 Step Side project or swap it into my daily driver 2010 V6 3.6L LT Camaro and let it be naturally aspirated. My favorite video is seeing the small block take all that nitrous. :)
I Love it, It really would look good in my 1990 GMC SWB 2 door Sierra. I just picked it up this year & Last week My wife and I just Dropped the Front and Rear Suspension, Now we are just starting on the body, Love your Video's, And Stay Safe.
this is my first time watching your videos and I enjoyed every moment of it seeing how you guys are putting these engines together I have had quite a few Tahoes over the years ranging from a 99 to a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and now I have my first truck what is a 2005 Chevy Avalanche I would love to take that engine and drop it off into my truck I just wished I had the money if my wife was still here with me it wouldn't be a problem she had Ms in cancer and I am a cancer survivor as well after watching this show you guys are giving me to wishes fixing up my truck and racing a Dodge or a Ford 🤔😄 Lol hahaha
This would be perfect for my 93' GMC C1500! I just went and bought a bunch of interior parts and body panels from a parts truck today! Currently running the stock 4.3, so this would be wild!
The old International Harvester V8s never get any love. Why don’t you guys build an old 345 or a 392 and see what kind of power they can make? There is almost zero aftermarket support for this niche, so I would love to see some real custom hot-rod building like Sleeving the lifter bores so you can use BBC or MOPAR hydraulic roller lifters and make a custom grind hydraulic roller cam for it. Try to graft on a set of aluminum BBC heads! Use the RPT aluminum intake, headers, custom pistons for more compression… It can all be done and you have the shop and skills, so let the IH crowd live vicariously through you here!
Mike shimmed the pump (.00.15" which is probably the most common spec, even though I was also taught to shim the LS crank driven pumps despite the fact that the service manuals don't mention anything about shimming them...) but he didn't align the front & rear covers to the oil pan...
I did an ls 5.3 swap with a 4L60E on my 65 c10 step side. It was fairly simple to modify the engine bay and I also added power steering. I do have to say my engine did not have nearly the upgrades these guys went with. It does ARP hardware but I went with afr heads and a used corvette aluminum intake. Horsepower numbers were just under 400 and for a driver that's just fine for me.
@@benjaminkent4397 Sounds awesome brother. Imagine if you ported and polished those AFR heads and boy that 5.3L LS V8 will probably make well over 450 HP.
