Steven, I had the exact same thought. He should have said to rotate the crankshaft, my opinion. Like Austin said, turning engine upside down would work and you would want to completely drain all of the engine oil as well. Still risky either way, but a big payoff for time saving if it works. Thanx for the post.
Hey guys, what they should have done is stuck 5/16” rods into the oil galleys and that would be impossible for the lifters to fall out and only takes about 5 seconds. However they were quietly confident the new lifter trays would hold the lifters from falling.
I was very impressed with your backyard build. And ended up with you, ended up with in horses power. That350 would blow this LS out of the water!!! Great job guys. Keep it up.😁
There was no need to pull the oil pump, I’ve done several of these swaps, just unbolt the cam gear , let it drop then remove the chain , rebolt the cam gear , spin the cam the quickly remove and install new cam
We didn't see the bottom pulley go back on ,if it's adjustable the oil pump would have to come off. If it is not adjustable then your right the pump wouldn't have to come off
I just did a cam swap on an LS but didn't have to remove oil pump or oil pan. But on an LS with a double roller timing set I did have to remove the oil pump to cam swap.
I think if I’m spend $10k I’m just order an engine from someone like Texas speed that will have better heads an will already have a bigger cam I ran every part number in the build sheet an it’ll cost $10k to build this setup
I'm about 2 weeks away from my dyno day and I cant wait!!! Gotta lq9, tsp torquer V4 cam, mahle power pak forged pistons, ported and polished 799 heads, .650 lift dual springs, trunion kit, dorman ls3 intake. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. It's going in a 350Z
a friend of mine bought a trade engine from one of these big magazine stores and had nothing but problems with it they had a used Cam and a brand new supposedly rebuilt engine the bearings on the camshaft wearing change little metal wires from the wire brush that they cleaned it with debris stuck under the main bearings you know it's just bad I'd rather have a rebuilt engine by a trusted engine builder than ever by a mail order crappy engine again

What I find most impressive with these engines is they make all that power with total timing only in the 20's range! Old style small block Chevys always need 34-36 degrees total timing.
They're absolutely bulletproof, built off of an absolute work horse of an engine (the LQ4) but with higher compression they're literally asking to be built and abused
So you guys are telling me that I should play with mine more?? Haha! I only put a small 550 lift Texas speed cam in mine. Still have to work on tuning it.

I completely understand that slapping a carburetor on is easy for the show, but I'm tired of seeing it. EFI is just as easy IMO and offers more control and monitoring than a carb. For an engine that already came EFI and for a service that is offering remanufactured engines (likely for replacement), I would think comparing it to it's stock counterpart would be the best option.

In 2024 that long block from Oriellys is 10k after tax. That's not including the additional 3k+ in parts added. For that price I can easily buy a complete 650HP+ drop in.
Can you all do the toyota 4.7 DOHC, came in the 2005-07 4 runners. Belt drivven, they are solid motors, ultra reliable. Just curious what kind of power you can get out of it.
So when I did the cam swap no issues with the motor but I used LS7 lifters first and I used new trunion upgrade from Michigan Motorsports. I found 2 collapsed lifters so I too all the LS7 lifters out and went to stock Melling lifters but ever since the cam I get weird tick but it’s all the rocker arms. Does anyone else have this issue? 6.0 LQ4 , Truck Norris Cam, Stock pushrods, trunion upgrade stock lifters.

None of the links for the parts lists seem to work. Not a big deal we can pretty much see what they are. Really nice video though but you could have at least turned the stock cam to truck HO to see.
Price range for the long block and finishing pieces probably in the 16k range, for that price I've seen turn key 572 big block Chevy with 600hp on GMs web site.
I don't see how you can pull a stock cam and put in a higher lift cam without hitting the lifters. When you spin the old cam your not going to set the lifters higher then the higher lift cam your installing.
I can't believe you actually advised having the trays hold the lifters!!! Thats the WORST thing you could do. Maybe if you knew the trick of using two 5/16" wooden dowel rods in the oil galleys to hold the lifters. I was actually shown this by a GM engineer in 1997 and was a part of the design.

@@reviewaccount469 the 5.3 is also iron. FYI, Incidentally, some rare 4.8L/5.3L iron block castings can be bored all the way out to the 6.0L engine's 4.0-inch bore size. As reported by Lingenfelter Racing's Jason Haines, that's because (you guessed it), this is a rare universal casting used interchangeably at the foundry to make 4.8-, 5.3- or 6.0L engines. Look for "4.3L-5.3L-6.0L" (all three displacement designators) cast into the block's front passenger side.
@@BrockGrimes They did make Gen III & IV 5.3s in aluminum and iron, but only trucks got the iron ones, everything else got the aluminum ones. Since 2014 however (Gen V) the 5.3 has been ALL aluminum. I'd suggest anyone wanting to buy a 5.3 for a build to do their own research and not rely on one or 2 comments under a RUclips video. I would still rather buy a 6.0 LQ9 that I know is stout and IRON.
Did you upgrade the lifters when you upgraded the camshaft and springs? I am working on a LS3 engine and installing a camshaft kit. I am also thinking about upgrading the lifters as well.
I'd like to see an LQ4/LQ9 with a BTR "Truck Norris" cam & Trick Flow 255 heads on the dyno. Just curious about that combination for a daily use SUV or truck.
Those heads would be to big for that ci motor and cam and I believe TFS255s are ls3 rectangle port. Truck Norris would be good with 220 or 225 heads or some ported 243s. TFS has a kit with their 225 heads that make 500+ hp. Look up Richard holdener trick flow 225 vs ls3 head comparison you might find that video informational.

Great test this is what a lot of LS guys want to see and build fir themselves... I personally would like to see a custom spec cam just to compare ... thanks guys
Video starts off saying “Time is money” You need to check pushrod length when changing camshafts. Pushrod length checking made easy: ruclips.net/video/V4P1ljp-EK8/видео.html
I don't know what engine to put in my project car. Nova sedan motor budget 5k under and big block. Nothing crazy, daily driver, but do want some power.
Too bad Canada doesn’t have an O’Reilly Auto Parts store. We have to order performance parts from a Speed Shop or from my favourite online store, Summit Racing.
That cam doesn't match the intake manifold at all. There is so much left on the table. The limiting factor here is the intake manifold. Thats a 600hp setup, easily, with a fuel injection manifold from a Corvette.
61 cubic inches in a liter time is 6.0 that’s amazing power on carburetor that means 500hp all day with fuel injection and ported heads with 95mm throttle body.

@@BrockGrimes They did make Gen III & IV 5.3s in aluminum and iron, but only trucks got the iron ones, everything else got the aluminum ones. Since 2014 however (Gen V) the 5.3 has been ALL aluminum. I'd suggest anyone wanting to buy a 5.3 for a build to do their own research and not rely on one or 2 comments under a RUclips video. I would still rather buy a 6.0 LQ9 that I know is stout and IRON.

Did you upgrade the lifters when you upgraded the camshaft and springs? I am working on a LS3 engine and installing a camshaft kit. I am also thinking about upgrading the lifters as well.
They would have had to disassemble the engine to do it, so no, they didnt.

I'd like to see an LQ4/LQ9 with a BTR "Truck Norris" cam & Trick Flow 255 heads on the dyno. Just curious about that combination for a daily use SUV or truck.
A lot less. Its very small cam compared to this compared to the comp they ran in the video. Maybe 410-420hp. My guess.
Those heads would be to big for that ci motor and cam and I believe TFS255s are ls3 rectangle port. Truck Norris would be good with 220 or 225 heads or some ported 243s. TFS has a kit with their 225 heads that make 500+ hp. Look up Richard holdener trick flow 225 vs ls3 head comparison you might find that video informational.
Pat is the man!!!
Please do the summit racing 450 hp 420 tq lm7 create engine
That’s too much money for a long block. But, I ain’t no hater.
Nah you get a warranty with it. You're not getting one from your machine shop down the street or backyard Joe
@@KingJT80 I’m the so-called warranty

Has anyone done this without degreeing the cam?

Well I am currently building an LQ9 so this video was nice to watch.
Same here I’m building mine with the same mod but with different brand parts and LQ4 iron heads for demolition derby
I miss the old host's these guys are so boring and lame.
Couldn't you put 8 magnets down the pushrod holes to hold lifters in place just a thought
Yes and you mean 16 magnets.Have done it before
These modern LS engines are so efficient and extremely tunable. Why would you go backwards in time and put a carburetor on it?
its nostalgic
Too stupid to use self tuning EFI systems. 🤪
Im excited to see the new ford 7.3 v8 come into mass availability to have another bad ass factory race engine platform on the market
Mass availability? How? Its only in HD trucks? Itll less available then current Hemi's.
Unfortunately you'll never see those on the cheap and plentiful like ls motors
The links in the description no longer work.
So this is the more expensive way of doing it. Check out driveway engineer he will open your eyes to the LS world. The cheap and reliable way using oem junkyard parts and eBay 🤣
Great test this is what a lot of LS guys want to see and build fir themselves... I personally would like to see a custom spec cam just to compare ... thanks guys
Can you drop that into my 2015 tacoma??
I am just going to say nice job guys.
26 degrees is a lot of timing. Hope you are monitoring the knock sensors.
Not with a carb and MSD, but that timing number is way safe in the dyno cell.
Video starts off saying “Time is money”
You need to check pushrod length when changing camshafts.
Pushrod length checking made easy:

Was looking at a Blue Streak (by Standard) coil pack for my 4.0L Jeep, so you might've just sold me on one....
I'll have to use this episode for future ideas. I have an '05 LQ4 sitting in storage waiting for me to go through it and drop into a '68 C10 longbed.
Git 'er done, Bobby!!
Robert if it’s an 05 it’s a lq9
The links doesn’t take me to the parts used
I don't know what engine to put in my project car. Nova sedan motor budget 5k under and big block. Nothing crazy, daily driver, but do want some power.
Too bad Canada doesn’t have an O’Reilly Auto Parts store. We have to order performance parts from a Speed Shop or from my favourite online store, Summit Racing.
That cam doesn't match the intake manifold at all. There is so much left on the table. The limiting factor here is the intake manifold. Thats a 600hp setup, easily, with a fuel injection manifold from a Corvette.
AWSOME CONTENT AWSOME techs ALOOOOOOHAAA and good 👍👌AWSOME SHET HONOLULU HAWAII BIG AL MANOA VALLEY 👌AWSOME CONTENT
61 cubic inches in a liter time is 6.0 that’s amazing power on carburetor that means 500hp all day with fuel injection and ported heads with 95mm throttle body.
I thought power torque motors sucked ?
Awesome build. CNC Port those cathedral-port heads for some easy power!!!!!!!! 👌👌👌👍👍👍💯💯
