Yes yes this was a video I found in the glove locker, must have been the previous owner

Naaah, I like making more than 300 hp 🤪

@@StationroadRatrods ill have to stop by some day lol

Always welcome 🙂

It’s funny that an sbc swap would probably be considered different again lol

The one behind me (the steel round building) used to be a heavy equipment shop, it’s a good size

Brian Day over in Stanhope

It’s pretty friggin chunky

Yes sirrrr

It deserves it, I’m going to do some metal work too. See if I can get the doors to shut better, etc

@@StationroadRatrods I'm glad to see it, I love that truck!

I sat in it the other day and got hit right in the feels

I have no respect for the law and I know I’d end up posting a short of me putting furnace oil in the tank and end up on the wrong side of a pissed off DOT officer lol

Hmmm good idea. Its basically exactly what I do now but with receipts

@@StationroadRatrods I’d probably add the caveat of donated pieces may be used, however, budgeted at full retail value for new or average used value for used parts. After the fact is fine, But carb to pan has to be running and driving reliably for 1k or under. Stuff you already have is fair use, unless you happen to have a forged 383stroker kit and like Brodix heads just laying around or something. lol.

@Jordy-927 the only thing I have left from my small block days is a 670 Holley street avenger, everything else went to the crusher. To be fair, the block had a hole in it and a few rods did a disappearing act

@@StationroadRatrods ahhh yes. The old self clearancing block with a view. Having a carb is probably huge. They’re expensive and hard to get good used ones these days. I was thinking you’d be able to get a q-jet and a rebuild kit cheap. It’s been over a decade since I built a small block. The last one was a 400. It was supposed to be an old police car engine, I’m not good enough with the casting numbers to know for sure.

It’s funny you mention the q-jet, I had a couple on the truck and man, it never ran better. the Holley was a total pain in the ass to be honest

Hahaa yup

For the price of a carb intake for an LS I could build a mild 350 lol

@@StationroadRatrods and make the same hp as a stock 5.3 lol

You’re right

Sounds like it’s gonna have a fun life

@@StationroadRatrods I'm building it as a very short lived 'slider' an then I'm planning to sell it to some HS kid that needs unreliable wheels.🤘🏼

@danielkingery2894 you’re doing the lords work I see

Definitely deserves it

It’s definitely a personal preference thing, but I like the rev happy LS, and the torquey sound of the sbc. Even then, an sbc with true duals and two glasspacks sounds like a duck walking on a wet floor, but magmaflows sound amazing. All opinion based

@@StationroadRatrods I think you are getting a sbc confused with a straight piped VQ engine. A properly setup sbc with headers and mufflers.. not glasspacks will always have a great sound. Just most people think glasspacks and flowmaster 40s are the best.

I was the guy with the true duals and glasspacks 🤣 They think that because they’re cheap. A set of glasspacks is 100$ whereas a single magnaflow, Gibson, etc is 150+ and that’s where the best sound comes from. I did have an x pipe on my 350 and man that really cleaned up the sound

It’s a thought. How cool would it be to bring it back to original

So by the time I got it back here it’d be like 4,000 dollars 🤣

@@StationroadRatrods You're right . So, when ya get here....just stay. And bring all your stuff and family too.

That would cut the cost in half!

He bought it in corner brook, but I’m not sure where it came from. It’s beautiful underneath too

It’s an sbc, sounds snotty Square S10s are something else aren’t they?

@@StationroadRatrods well, that should stoke that dream of putting the SBC in the rat rod. lol Yes. Always liked those little trucks. Great for a lot of different builds. From mud bogger to race truck.

It was impeccable timing I must say

@@StationroadRatrods just the universe saying “if you build it, it will smoke the tires”. 🤣

Any of the smaller small blocks would be cool. Just a thought, might never go anywhere but it would simplify the truck a lot

I actually have a set of .040 over flat top pistons in a bucket full of oil out in my shed. Hmm, thanks for reminding me

@@StationroadRatrods I mean, it’s basically meant to be at this point.

Shit

I'm just going to say that your shirt has the same feeling I do about that idea. Simple little LS would be my go-to for a tame driver.

I definitely wore the right shirt for that hahaha

It’s definitely different, but I’m starting to love it

I probably should order one of those guns. We sell panel bonder and I’m sure it would be much better than fibreglass. I’ll see where I’m at with it when I permanently mount it

@@StationroadRatrods X2 on 3M panel bond. I used it to fill a "plastic" bumper on an 80s "Hot Rod" project and it worked great. I cannot remember which product I got, but the description said it was sandable and it was flawless when I finished.

@@StationroadRatrods Ocean also makes a flexible bumper filler that's pretty decent. I still recommend doing the bulk of the seam filling with panel bond.

We sell a couple different types at Carquest, there’s 3m 08115 that’s the panel bonder and seems to be the most common for the body shops around, then there’s a couple different types like ez sand flexible parts repair and one called rigid parts repair. Any one of those you suggest?

@@StationroadRatrods The 05887 looks like a good candidate but the short working time sucks. I would advise buying a box of nozzles.

I appreciate it man 🙂

Thanks Brian 🙂

It’s definitely growing on me a lot since the first time I sized it up

Oh really! I thought because it was a “higher rpm” cam that it would make it soggier without a stall. Good to know, thank you

@@StationroadRatrods sloppy stage 2 isn’t a real big cam in a 6L ..

@@StationroadRatrods kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqTTl55or92GqNUsi=et0K7t8xYt-YnDwG skip to 6:40 .. it actually gains torque .. they call it the trifecta of cams because it gains hp, gains torque, no loses on a 6L

Thanks for the link. SS2 cam it is, holy crap

I’m in the process of working with a buddy to get a 3,000(ish) stall converter, it’s a few weeks away but I’m hoping that when I have the engine ready I’ll have it. Fingers crossed

Takes a little motivation to get my rear in gear sometimes, but I got a lot to do so might as well get it done

Well it has pac1219 springs in it now so it could be rev happy for sure, but an aluminum 4.8 would be siiiick

@@StationroadRatrods oh shiiiit son. Wonder what you’d have to do for it to hold up to 8500 rpm? It would sound sick.

Basically the whole valvetrain would have to be upgraded. I think it would be amazing though, maybe a future build when I get that factor sponsor 🤪

@@StationroadRatrods yeah. No doubt. I know years ago guys were shifting at 7200-7400 with the 4.8 when racing. That was with LS6 springs and a cam. So you should at least be good for that. The bottom end should be plenty strong in an L33 block.

Oh jeez, I was always afraid to rev above 6800

I appreciate it! Red connector, pin 54 (purple wire) should be the correct wire you’re looking for 🙂

@@StationroadRatrods thankyou for a quick answer so than i should disconnect ppl wire from PCM and connect it to Fuel Gauge or splice another wire with ppl wire without disconnect ppl wire from PCM and than routed to Fuel Gauge?

So I think that purple wire is the one from the fuel level sensor (in the tank) to the pcm, but I’m not sure which wire feeds the gauge. Maybe someone can chime in here can help both of us

Depending on the application I take them out, or leave them in. On this one yes, he kept the 60e wiring

Absolutely agree. Thats why I’ve been doing more research to get it right

Just need a few weeks of uninterrupted truck time!

@@StationroadRatrods right on

@@StationroadRatrods I'm ready to start on the bed of my 2000 GMC..........gotta come up with the outer wheel wells before I can put the wheel arch panels on ........

Gonna use new parts, or salvage from another truck?

@@StationroadRatrods may try and find some at the boneyard, new ones are almost $200 for a pair.........

I enjoy having you!

Sheeeeit I wish I’d thought of that before cutting them. I wonder if I can salvage any, thanks a bunch

@@StationroadRatrods no problem but looks good. I’m looking forward to the gas door situation

The gas door situation is gonna be an odd one, but I have half a plan. I think I’ll take the gas door section from the back and move it to the front and then cut the white corner section out of another piece and graft it in there

@@StationroadRatrods good plan can’t wait to see it

I was never real good at jigsaw puzzles but I’m tryin 🤣

@@StationroadRatrods your definitely getting the practice in.

If it were me, absolutely. This isn’t my engine

This is the way

Thanks for pushing the almighty algorithm! 😁

@@StationroadRatrods we gotta get you to shadow raid legends at least. Factor would be the dream, but you probably couldn’t get it delivered to actually review it here. Lol

@Jordy-927 I’d move to Canada for a factor sponsor 🤣

@@StationroadRatrods I’d almost move to Canada to buy factor. The meals look good and being the cook, I’d like to have a few days a week that I didn’t have to cook.

@Jordy-927 absolutely. I’m not the cook by any means, unless it’s grilled cheese sandwiches then move over Gordon Ramsay Cass would definitely appreciate a break from cooking though lol The meals do look good though don’t they?

Hey man, how hot is it in Texas right now? 😁 Thanks for reminding me, I need to replace that clip on the hose, I broke it when I removed it from the original hose. Sorry to hear about your intake not fitting right, this one was actually an easy install. I had to replace one clamp when I broke it, they could be beefier. The headers were a task and a half. I still wonder if the jig was off on the passenger side. There was lots of room for it to be closer to the transmission, and that would have helped with the alignment of the Y pipe. I didn’t think about it until my buddy Jorge mentioned I could have used a comealong or a ratchet strap to ply the collector away from the frame. I did see another guys review of the same headers and he had to dent the same pipe a little bit but nowhere near what I had to do. Mounts are new, I’ve been driving it for a few days now and haven’t had any issues with noises or anything. I’ll do a video after a bit of time driving with it and see how they fair. Thanks man, I appreciate it

@@StationroadRatrods Let's see, born and raised here. Just turned 49. Last week we were digging holes with a tractor and auger for a new backyard fence and it was a feels like 108 degrees at 8p. lol A much cooler feels like 99 yesterday when I was hand digging them to final depth last night. I looked at several other videos and the quality seems to be all over the place. So much so I emailed Flashark. They also have a SS set for our trucks with no cats and has no Loop in that one header. lol It makes no sense. I saw one review on YT where he bolted the headers down to the engine and then ratchet strapped by the collectors to pull them closer to the block. He also moved that one header tube with a press which worked well. Most of the headers for this platform have to be dented, but if you go to Flasark's YT page, there is a guy that installs the non-loop, non-cat, non-SS headers on a Silverado with absolutely no modifications, which as I told Flashark in email, is either a bad video as they did not show the modifications or a great set of headers since there was no mention of any modification. The only difference I saw between this video and others is that all the others were 4wd/AWD, BUT I don't see that to make a difference since the areas of issue have nothing to do with the drive UNLESS 4wd/AWD frames are differenct. Are your motor mounts GM? I went with anchor and I am concerned. lol Did you hear back from Flashark? You are most welcome! Keep up the great work. Love the build. Hopefully one day, I'll met my YT channel up and running. It's @SippingSarcasm and I used it to review beer, but I stopped drinking this year, sooooooo, yeah. lol We are changing it up a bit to do other stuff. More to come!!!! Cheers!

@@StationroadRatrods I heard back from Flashark. I responded and waiting on some better answers. Here's my questions though: Good Morning! I have been looking for Stainless Headers with short small cats for my 2005 2wd Silverado with a swapped 6.0. Off to KZbin to see reviews of your different setups. Review one was not great as the Sponsored channel was installing your SS headers that have the loop on the driver's side with cats. Major work was needed to even get the headers to fit. Spark plug wires were also hitting the loop on the driver's side. Y-pipe fitment at the slip fit between each side was poor at best. Review done this week. Review two was a little better as the y-pipe appeared to be a flawless install and fitment was perfect. However, all the other issues remained. Review two months old. Review three was not the same header as above as it was painted, no loop and no cats and it was on your KZbin channel. The install video was either very poor or it was a flawless install with no issues. I cannot understand this and would like some clarification. I noticed these headers came in SS but without cats and I included that SKU in the subject line above. In my humble opinion, I like the non-flanged collector version, as referenced in the subject line above, as well as the non-loop driver's header that this SKU has. Is it possible to provide the y-pipe from the looped set of headers without flanges along with the non-loop SS version with the sku above? Why the difference in the headers, i.e. looped style vs. non-loop? Have the fitment issues of the looped version been fixed as seen in several videos aforementioned don KZbin? Frame interference on both sides? Spark plug wire interference? Are the non-looped version of the headers free from any modification needed due to frame interference? Thank you very much for your time and bringing several new options to the market for our truck platform! Cheers, Adam Hoskins

You’ll have to really work it in the floor but it should help a lot

I didn’t know you had Borla on the Grand Prix that’s awesome

@@StationroadRatrods Oh, yes ! It's a cat back , but I replaced the cat too. It sounds cool with a blown V6. Would ya like me to shoot a short video ?

@phillipthethird42 absolutely I would!

@@StationroadRatrods Just posted it.

It is a sweet looking kit. I love how it sounds, I might put it on the Escalade when I go turbo

Must have pretty low miles does it?

Yeah only 8800 miles

Very nice

It being all black made the truck for me. I still don’t have the cladding on, but I gotta get my ass in gear and buy some bondo lol. Newer Chevy door handles leave a lot to be desired. My uncle had a squarebody, the truck is scrapped long ago but I bet the door handle will outlive me

Hey Brian I updated the video description and have the links there now, separated for the intake and exhaust, then the actual website link 🙂 If the front shaft comes apart it’ll definitely cause damage, but I think that’s unavoidable in any case
