I see two buddies building a budget engine out the garage with what they have. Much better than most of the half baked shit I see on YT. Subscribed.

[@TurboShotIncredible]

Thank you!

[@jamesalexander7328]

@@TurboShotIncredible you're welcome, keep up the good work.

[@bryanmayes9234]

Agreed man i just sub'd up 🤘 i put a 4.8L into my LT1 fbody and have a rough 5.3L i got with the 4.8L both for $300cad. Gonna do just this to the 5.3 for my back up engine when i finally go boost. Back yard budget shit is the most fun keep it up

[@madman11331122]

Good comment! Totally awesome!

When you assemble your heads on the coffee table in your living room that's dedication and passion

[@blackman8795]

This is a good video to advertise buying power tools for the teardown

[@jasonastevens8220]

I watched this dude take a palm sander to the block and I was like “…that’s illegal he can’t do that… can he?” *continues to watch* 10/10 over all I know it’s critical but it’s cool to see you don’t have to treat the thing like it’s patient zero for smallpox Hope the build panned out well

[@christophercreamer5367]

DAWG YA BOYS GOT A DAMN PLANE IS HIS GARAGE!!!! DONT RACE HIM LMAO

[@Kacz101stABNDIV]

I genuinely don’t understand all the “gLaD yOuR nOt mY mEcHaNiC” comments..? People have built these things in a sandbox with a sledge hammer and made 500+ with a china turbo and hp tuners all day... I was impressed with how much they “cared” while they were assembling it lol

[@chadvalliere8697]

Zipties for the win and two passes at the strip later it blew the hell up

[@deegan727]

Most “mechanics” do the bare minimum to get you out the door to bring in the next sucker to gouge them too. If the car breaks down they’ll charge you more and just say it was another issue and not the one they previously fixed. A lot of backyard grease monkeys take more care into what they do than a professional shop.

[@bicmitchum1368]

It goes both ways , honest mechanics are hard to find , but most backyard grease monkeys as you call them , sure they fix one thing but doesn't mean it was done the right way or they had to right tools for the job , usually ignorant and cause more problems then they fixed , just my experience

[@DONTCALLMETHAT]

Exactly.

[@99gmcsierralm74]

Hell to the fuck yeah and guess what the 5.3 likes it. Shit it might shit itself but who cares it’s a beast tear it down and make it even more powerful. I’ve got 311k and I at least do 10 pulls a week

[@shenghaivang4337]

Damn watching this makes me wanna build my own!! Keep up the hard work bro. Stay solid 🤙🏻

[@thevdubguy7881]

Awesome video guys. I was looking online for 5.3’s between 400hp - 500hp. Your video popped up and I really enjoyed watching two guys build the 5.3. Gives me something to shoot for this spring when I start my build. I’m doing a drift and really fun Street toy 89 Ram 50/Mighty Max that we’ve owned for 31 years now. Again, great videos I’ve seen so far. I can’t wait to hear it purrrrr. 😉🤙🏻✌🏼

[@75zl1]

I am glad to see someone care about what they are doing and clean/prep it! Nice job!

[@NickKautz]

Been building em like this for years. No machine shop unless a crank journal needs to be ground. You can even bore with a stone hone it just takes a lil while. You can shave the head down with a nice flat surface covered in 80 grit. You can re-use headbolts , sand bearing surfaces , run only the top ring on the pistons , pretty much all the stuff that people say you should NEVER do, haha... as long as you understand the purpose of each part and what stresses it will see. Bad ass valve cuts can be done on a mini-lathe from harbor freight. DIY flow bench to see what the porting is doing. Fun

[@bucksnortbumblefuk6872]

No, no no. First, that hone is ment for chasing dingle berry's off your ass. If you have a nodding donkey and know how to use it, maybe. No way are you going to accurately hone to next piston size. If you want it to look like a street cone, sure. Not hating, just calling bs

[@NickKautz]

You can re-use tty bolts but 1: They're cheap as shit, just go buy them. and 2: You gotta feel for the yield zone of the bolt which is where it seems like it's starting to flex instead of turn, stop at that point , that's as tight as it's gonna get. If you go any further than that, it severely weakens the bolt or twists it in half

[@LoliZer0]

I love it. You guys got real passion and heart for this stuff keep it up.

[@jaymollard7154]

Subscribed! Love seeing videos like this, very inspirational and shows that you can do the vast majority of the motor work out of your own shop! Awesome guys love it!

Man it’s my dream to do this in my garage one day

[@Superdupersupersuped]

I thought the same thing about the heads but yea it was scotch brite, however they could sand it on a glass table and that doesn’t require a machine shop either. Almost Everything can be done at home with the proper know how. Great video, nice build, hope the channel blows up!

The punch through the newspaper! Let's go! Lol

[@ricardovelez958]

I got scared when you guys were grinding the block but mannnnn that engine looked nice. Good job making it happen with what you have. 👌🏼

[@MenofValueSpeaks]

I built my 6.0 the same way, minus sending my block and heads to be ported and cleaned up. Watching this makes me miss my homies from Alabama. Since I moved away, it's hard to find true car guys that can get after it with you. Good work, did you use plastiguage on the crank?

I don’t think he did, just measured the journal

[@kvngthethird]

I don’t know if you guys are still making content but i just wanted to say after watching this i went out and bought me a 5.3 out of a c1500 with a broken lifter to rebuild from scratch and make it my personal own. I have never fully did a rebuild from scratch before but after watching i built enough confidence to at least try so i plan on more information as i start my goal of 700-800hp with boost of course not on a budget so any good advice helps

[@koalapwr]

Fuuu. I know bro

[@0260ep3585]

Almost cried when i saw him hit the heads with a sander

[@beardbuilds5140]

That was your take away ?! Dry crank install , smacking a balancer on with the crank bolt then proceeding to use it , degree the camshaft ?!? Pffftt why would you bother doing that ?!? Pretty sure when they were putting the pistons in they smashed the rings completely off one piston all because they can’t work a ring compressor. Wd40 to lube up the hone ….. and drop it in on a dry bore. Old mate who ported the heads looked like he phone it in half way. I bet the oil pump was slid over the crank and bolted up , not shimmed correctly.the probably reused the lifter trays in it … they seem like that type of people All in all there was heaps of things that made me cringe …. But hey wish version of Lenny Kravits says it’s gunna make 500HP from that little 5.3 …. If it ran longer than 3 minutes I’d be very surprised….

[@millermechanicalenterprise2785]

I'm sorry that so many people hate on ur page but keep up the good work

Miller Mechanical Enterprise it’s not hate it’s constructive criticism.

[@millermechanicalenterprise2785]

I guess make a video of how you would do it, and message the individual instead of putting some crazy negative stuff on their page seriously I have a page and wouldn't want negativity on it , however if there is something wrong a subscriber should message the youtuber that created the video and if theres multiple people with the same messages , they would probably positively respond . Nobodys gonna change anything if u nag them and this ain't even my page but I'd be pissed if I seen so much hate.

If you get a glass coffee table you can deck the block and heads by putting some abrasive paper and wd40. It will be flat, unlike the sanders.
