Whats the red light on the dash?

I would have degreased everything then go for a drive and have a look.

No prep mate

Hey joe😊 great to see having fun and circle work mate.cheers mate.

I got an itch all of a sudden to do some circle work

Ute cultivating is the best thing for a padlock

Always good to see a bit of circle work 😀

My HZ tonner on the odd occasion the drivers door will lock on me, to unlock it i have to turn the door key lock fully right, till i hear it click sometimes when i am in the car as well

Why you running single plane manifold? Wouldn't dual plane be better for this combo?

Whenever I watch these vids it makes me want to finish mine quicker

Is that 110 to 130 kilometers per hour or miles per hour?🤔🤷 There's a big difference we're talking about there.😁 The intake you really need is a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake. This intake will do better than either one of those all the way up to 6,500 RPM. Then those single plane intakes might do better above that RPM if your cam can rev that high? If it's a hydraulic flat tappet it's done by 6,500 if it can even rev that high? China is right there near you guys, don't they ship any of that inexpensive sbc stuff over there? You can get a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake over here for about 130 bucks shipped over here and over there is way closer than over here in the US.🤷 Anyway can't wait to see the comparison between the 2 intakes.😎👍

That’s the way ! Good times.

Early 90,s these things were everywhere. Fact oil is a natural substance, factual the mines dug and land destruction of every thing to make an electrical car is a complete scam . Cheers nice Q

where did u put the ignition coil

She may be a bit slow, but fuck it sounds good.

Yeahhhhhh mate love video.great change with heads. Wooo hooo go joe😂

I’m curious,I have a mild 318 in my Chrysler! Often wondered how it would perform if I just upgraded the heads? Did you change pistons or cam as well? I already have a mild cam in mine so just changing to better flowing heads may help a lot?

Unfortunately 15.3s is all they'll do stock and the 4l60 is slow af lol My vn Calais I had in 2012 ran a best of 15.1 with exhaust, cold air intake, locked 3.08 diff ,it had a healthy stock th700 with massive trans cooler. Vns about 100kg lighter too though. Advice put ya fan shroud back on and fit a decent trans cooler with a fan ,that'll fix ya heat soak, 5Ls run hot so need all the cooling aids u can give em 👍 Even try find the plastic ducting the front end had from factory, radiators don't work 100% without the ducting. That weird over rev is pretty normal, even the th700s did it ,u can't hurt the engine it's not valve floating, they'll rev to over 7000 before u get near it lol I use to bounce mine off limiter and never bothered it. I've messed with many 5Ls since 2000 ,even had a 333 vb sle with yt heads n 650 double pumper ,thing was wild 👌 Reason they went to smaller oil filter is the 5L doesn't spew all the oil into the heads like the ol 308s use too, they don't require as much volume as the 308s ,blue 308s are the worst for it too, I used the small filter n never had an issue. Actually found your channel looking for 5L content as I'm looking to put one in my current vn exec ,best sounding v8 on earth imo, not chasing big hp maybe 300/350hp ,over seeing ls1s in them lol Had a turbo Buick in it but didn't like it and had to sell it anyway to rebuild my fgs barra that blew up on me 🤦‍♂️ After having 500hp 775nms in my fg I've found big hp is over rated tbh, everytime I try to race it I break something 🙄 6 weeks ago I tore the subframe and lhs cv shaft a new one lol so yeah it's honestly pointless now being it's the daily, might sell it n buy a stock xr6t ute and do up the vn again lol Thinking stock bottom end, ported heads, harrop high rise ,4 barrel tb , paceys, twin 2.5" exhaust, haltech 750 ,t400 and maybe a truetrack n 345s/3.7s , I do have some 411s here ,might be too short though 🤔 Appolgies for the long comment, 1 last thing look at a better manifold and tb setup, headers, a small cam like a crane 280 and get it tuned, should see around 270 280whp and you'll be good for high 12s 👌

Mate anytime 👌

Yep, gotta have good flowing heads to make good power. Unless you do what the super stock guys do and run a cam with way to much duration, a 5,000 RPM stall with 5.36:1 gears. They're fast but not very streetable. Hey, what are midrolls?🤔🤷

Sounds pretty good hopefully I’ll be able to do this myself one day

How does your neighbour feel about this engine?

🙌👏

Nice work

Sounds terrible on start up

It sounds killer Joe. Can't wait to see some track times. Cheers mate.

Yeahhhhhh

This car is a cruiser where you sit back in comfort on the highway and enjoy the V8 soundtrack and speed doesn't really matter so long as it can pass with ease imo

What a joke!!! We are not back in the 70s and 80s any longer!!! Your old heads still suck and its 2024. But when your building a small block shitty chevy your never going to know what power means. EVER!!!

Great to see young intelligent blokes having a good go. You are going places Joe. Love the show as always.

Try a Weiand team g if you can get your hands on one

Some of those old smog heads had good ports, with bigger valves could flow better than the double hump. But they do lack compression.

U mentioned u have the hewda at your work. Are u an engine machinest mate

Nice to see your getting the old girl back in racing condition Joe . Well done mate keep the updates and uploads coming cheers.

Mad as

What is the part number and brand of your flat-top piston please!?

Could you do a video on how you lock the timing.im about to burn this heap of $#!t

I got a vs ss im thinking about a stage two shit kit but im starting to wonder would it be more fun or just pointless

1:01 beautiful scenery in south Oz

Good work! Get that fan shroud on before summer😂

4lslippy lives another day 😂

Love it mate, drizzling in melbourne🫤. Got to watch you young fellas doing a great job. Trying to bolt my fresh paint front end on.....vy wagon work bus.... hit a roo

Great video, Joe. Keep up the good work with your content. Cheers from William.

Hey mate. Sweet channel + vids. Whats your mechanical background? Professional mech, or just a DIY guy? Im looking to do a resto on something of interest soon, but only have done head gaskets, and have some KZbin/book knowledge and passion for our beautiful Aussie cars. As its hard to get things done without being engineered/an engineer, is this stuff do-able in the home garage without experience/training? Cheers again mate for the awesome content!

2:40 on a closed road somewhere in Mexico......

What carb are you running these days.

how much do you want for the steering wheel on your ute?

How much hp and trq please ✌️

Thats whats it all about having fun, I went to heaps of swap meets looking for stuff but nothing many times bumped into old friends and went home with sore legs

Some days you by half the meet some days you only get sore feet No bad days at a swap meet
