I try but sometimes I don’t get to them for awhile.

For those who watch this video, I have ran straight E85 through my L59 with the factory tune and it didn’t explode or throw a rod.

I’m not using a stock computer in this video. You would have to build a tune to run E85 since this setup is unable to determine if I am running E85 or another other specific octane. The OEM computer has a sensor to know how much ethinyl is running through the system and changes the tune to accommodate that.

This is the CLEANEST AND NICEST first start I ever seen in my whole life .

My new to me, '04, Z71, Burb, 5.3 with 187K will probably need replacing. My mechanic replaced the oil tube O-Ring and all the lifters rattle like crazy. He says it's a flex fuel, L59, #Z and says his knows of a junk yard that may have two 5.3 as good runners which I would probably rebuild first. Love my Burb but just can't trust it far from home rattling like that. Any Sugestions? Thanks for the video.

You don’t have to use a L59 to replace it since the engine is the same as the LM7, the fuel injectors are the difference and the fuel system from the factory truck. If your not running E85 the fuel system doesn’t matter, but the flex fuel injectors are bigger so that’s good for tuning. I’d replace it with a good running cathedral port 5.3.

Could you share how you made that engine stand and all the instruments you used to make it all come together

At 0:41 the bog down to almost the engine dying is normal for these engines correct? Isn’t that the computer re-adjusting the air/fuel ratio after a high rev? Because my Flex Fuel L59 does this and mine is on the factory GM tune.

This engine is running on a Holley terminator X max so there is no security to bypass. But for OEM computers you will need to buy the HP tuners adapter and download their program to access the computer and modify the security settings. I have an OEM computer on my 2wd 1956 Chevy truck

Your missing the MAF sensor on the intake is probably why your running lean and not running crisper throttle there

The terminator x max by Holley doesn’t use a MAF. It’s running lean because the computer is learning the engine. It’s a run stand so I don’t run the engines more then a hour.
