Putting a carb on an LS may be the "easiest" route, but certainly not the cheapest... Wouldn't the cheapest be all stock with the factory GM ECU flashed with HP Tuners or something?

@joew7897

Exactly. Over $700 for the intake and ignition stuff then they drop a $900 carb on it. For around a $100 flash to a stock computer you can drop in all the stock stuff.

@@joew7897 And retain your EFI, which is FAR easier to add boost or other power adders. So if you spend $500+ on an intake and ignition system, then another $400-600 on a nice carb for it, you're in Holley terminator territory. Which makes it even easier to have EFI that has built in capabilities for nitrous or boost, or whatever you wanted to add to it...

Probably the only way its cheaper is if you scored on a cheap long block, already have a carburetor sitting around, and don't have the intake and fuel injection setup.

Great to see you guys smiling again!

I agree more of these videos. And more in depth view of how a engine is put together. From every bolt to every gasket

Love watching these guys. Can’t wait to build my engine

G'day guys ,, Great episode ,, just keep on bringing it . More power to ya ...!!! Much Respect from Down Under

This is why old carb and thi blocks are dinosaurs,stock for stock and mod for mod LS kicks its ass

Great stuff guys, especially the "Working mans Bullet"! Thanks.

Great video, guys. 🙂 It's really useful to see which upgrades give benefits without other changes - one at a time. Keep up the excellent work! Paul 😎

Very entertaining vid, I knew that 550 hp wall was coming. The ls engines are so fun to watch make easy power

Very impressive Tech! You spoke plain and simple and added bolt on numbers! Saving this video as I've watched and learned scores of LS projects. You've found the the heavy duty sweet spot for an LS Build!

It would be really interesting to see y'all talk about what you do on the dyno controls. I'd like to see an extreme budget 5.7 mopar stroker build. Perhaps with a 6.1 cam?

Just recently swapped out the 6.0L LS out of my 67 Firebird and dropped in an 1LR-GUE V-10 by Toyota Racing D. It’s got the same titanium exhaust off the Lexus LFA and screams just the same in my Firebird.

So Kenny built Low & Slow 40 years ago🤣. Seriously though. It used to surprise me just how many people don't know how long some of this "Tech" has been around. But instead of picking the brains of people like Kenny D., Gale Banks, Kenny Bell and those that are still with us, it's like everyone wants to start from scratch instead of building on what those men have learned over a lifetime.

36 years ago my Dad owned a auto salvage yard. My first build was a Chevy Monza Spider with a over heated factory motor. I swapped in a 302 chevy that was built. See my dad would not allow me to stick a 350 in because he thought cubic inches would mean to much horse power. Haha. Swapped out the engine and went to the track 110mph in the 8th. Scarry as hell.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. 👍😎

The exhaust manifolds are cast steel and can be easy welded to make turbo manifolds.

I like how consistent they are in saying this is the cheapest way to get it running us to buy this but I am pretty sure it comes with everything to make it run without having to buy your sponsors crap

I have 4L70E with heavy duty pinion and Teflon pads and with 5.3 with big cam , heavy springs , roller lifters putting over 400 HP . 4.56 gears . Silverado dual cab it runs great . I can pull 5000 lb trailer with ease . it s prefecto !

Can you guys please do an episode on the LS4? That engine never gets any love!

A really interesting video would be unboxing parts for the engine before you build it

Thank You Thank You!!!!!!

My engine power boys gettin OLD. With age comes more wisdom though. Great job guys

You can get lots of power out of those junkyard LS but if you gonna run a power adder like a Turbo that thing you gotta do is gap the rings because if you don't gap the rings and get high on the PSI she will squeeze the top of the piston and that will be it but once you gap the rings your safe to add the boost

This is the engine my truck has!!😍

I think Pat is jaded, being around top fuel, and pro stock race engines. Pat and Mike have the best job though, love this series of shows.

So happy I got a 5.3 in my 04 tahoe!!

I remember many years ago when Mike had join the HorsePower tv show..

If you want to run a LQ4 truck block for a drag racing application get one that's been rebuilt at the very least. the pulls are fine for street driving and will give you years of service but not when you add high flowing heads and intake the old bearings seem to eat themselves quickly . If you buy a rebuilt one you will have a solid start that will make tons of power for cheap. it pays in the long run instead of having to keep replacing the pulls blocks every time one eats it's own bearings.

my 6.7 L LS on the wheel Dyno it made 361 ft pds of torque and 274 hp in my 2001 Chevy suburban. 4x4 2500 408 ci LQ4 LS

With spacers on the oil pump to clear the thicker timing chain, do you have to use an after market oil pick up or will the factory unit fit correctly?

Pat, Mike, I'm getting ready for my Second Engine build. . . Of course my first had a few issues with my valve train when I did the Cam Swap. And I know you guys did a Mopar 360. . . But it seems like I keep ending up with it's Baby Brother the 318. Well Long Story Short, I'm look at a Budget of $2400 and By Boring it .040 over and Give it a 3.58" Stroke like a Stock 360. . . And a Mid Rise Dual Plane, I hoping to make a 318 into a 352 Stroker. What kind of numbers do you I can Make? I'll be using a $75 Flat tappet Hydraulic Cam, a $238 intake, and I'll leave the Carb choice up to you guys. But beside the forge Pistons, Stroker Crank, Cam, and Intake, Literally everything else is Stock. I want to see what I'll be playing with fellas. . . And I know you'll guys get a kick out of the "Little Mega Block".

That was a nice one 😳

Need some more LSX builds!

What was the part number for the roller rockers. The summit racing rockers you installed before you changed the heads

THANX YAWL FOR ALWAYS GIVING US GREAT CONTENT.. COULDN'T BUY ENTERTAINMENT OR KNOWLEDGE AFFORDABLY WORTH IT TO NOT LEARN FROM YOUR VIDEOS. 😒💪🤗👍😇🍀🌳🌅🦊🐎🦞 best bang for your buck info and I Swear I Could Watch Yawls Videos Back To Back To Back ALL DAY EVERY DAY 😇🔥😎

id also like to see you guys convert to using compreesed air instead of gas or propand or diesel.

i used to watch this show when it was joe and the big guy on it,cant remember his name,i could google it but dont care,and trucks had stacy david on it haha,it was good stuff back in those days.

This was a great episode. You show the average joe how to make big power on the cheap NOW. Do a Mopar show the same way HEMI

Now this is More like it and please give a price from oil pans to carburetor

Wow. Super

the six liter block with a forged 4.3 crank a huge turbo and send it!

Now I want to see a 6.4 hemi💪🏾💪🏾

It would be nice to see a comparison of the same budget between the Ls and any other small block I’m gonna say as the price of the engine goes up the all mighty Ls won’t shine as bright and I’m a Ls guy!

That's the right economical approach.

This episode is awesome 😍😍😍😍

Nice to see Amish Mike use a pistol grip when he's got the 'working mans bullet' on the dyno. It just shows his exceptional attention to fine details

Bet the cam bearings didn't look like the rod bearing!! Sweet set up!!

good info, but what spark timing on first two engines, and what cam timing??

I want to see if you have a budget build and don't have the means to do fabrication. Like if you have to dent the header to get it to fit around a steering rack or other things of that nature, does it effect the flow and hp.

Would love to see you guys soup up a 8v92T . See what's possible

What's a good start for a 4.3.. I have a 96 blazer I want power but the milage. Its 2wd a small lift n tires thinking bout going a 283 or 305.. far as price goes want to do Holley sniper efi or carburetor

Going carb added some power too that stock lq4

Would all of those parts on table work on a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab short bed 1500 LS with the 5.3 v8 vortec LM7 because i want to get my 5.3v8 to about 500 Horsepower

Kenny Duttweiler is, along with Buddy Ingersoll are my heroes.

Love to see a 231 3.8 Odd firing gn build

On the lm7 what size carb are you using? I am building one putting a toqurestorm supercharger on it. Holley said to get the 750 brawler blow thru. Do you think that carb is to big to small or just right?

How about LR4/LY2, Also what about WHP (BHP) on a Automobile dyno. Also how about Stock FI system.

Yall are bad ass!!!!! 👍👍👍👌👌👍👍👌👌

I built the 6.7 lq4 by stroking it and boring it what injectors should I run with the stock manifold and the stock heads

If I was doing all that I would have went back with some 4.8l stock replacement pistons you can get a set with new rings for like $130 on eBay and pick up some compression

Can you guys do an Ecotec3 4.3L & a 3.7L Clclone V6. I'm convinced that these two engines will be incredible under boost.

how did you change the cam with the heads still installed?

What exactly is the part number for the rocker arm ( first mod) thank you

I've Dyno'd more than 300 LS engines. 24° ignition advance is not enough timing for a Truck LS on 93 octane, and didn't give the baseline test a fighting chance to prove what HP it's capable of producing. The MSD box comes with several ignition curves Pre-installed, and having more ignition timing than 24 degrees. What curve(s) were used for all the tests? If it was 24° across the board, you left a lot of horsepower on the table for all the tests. CNC Racing Heads.

stock manifold and fuel injection comes with the motor at the yard. add the cpu for 30 bux. thats cheaper than the "cheap" parts u threw at it, and probably works better.

I would have liked to have seen a run with the cam and the stock heads.

Anything you'd like to see LS related check out Richard Holdener. He's tested nearly everything.

Also, I used that same timing setup with a Melling HV295 Oil Pump (with the spacers) and had issues with the pickup tube needed to be extended. Then the pickup tube boss, as well as the oil pump bolts all hit the timing cover. Finally the "slosh tray / oil baffle plate" in the bottom of the oil pan then hit the pickup tube once it was modified to move forward the 1/8"... You guys didn't discuss any of this...

@mathewshackelford8037

the instructions for the timing set mention the bolts hitting the cover. This is just another reason NOT to run a double roller. It's an absolute waste of money on a LS. Guys are making 1500hp reliably on single chains.

Can you guys do a 6.2 build

What would those numbers be if you stayed with efi and upgraded the throttle body
