Would love to see a full step by step build from scratch so we can follow along with our own engine at home.

[@arixp9092]

Eh it will never be the same, ur cylinder walls may be different size, u may choose to use a different cam, or different ratio rockers and you will have to measure main caps and main bearings to see what size u need. It’s always going be different.

[@immelting9834]

@@arixp9092 True and I see what your saying. I was thinking something along the lines of putting out a video 2 months in advance that a " follow along " video is coming out and here's the budget build parts list etc.. Alot could be done similar, but yeah , there's some things that won't match up for reasons you listed.

28 minutes of babbling, one half-assed engine teardown, and now I know how to build a 1000hp LS.

[@zer0gravity184]

Haha! He's definitely A.D.D.😂 I did get a rough idea of what he was recommending in order to get that kind of horsepower. *H* Beam Rods, Pistons by Wiseco, Crank Shaft by Texas Speed with the 4.00" Stroke, MLS Gaskets, LS7 Lifters, Bosch 210 Injectors, Turbos (Twin?), Machine shop service for the Line Hone and possibly having to add sleeves if there is severe damage, E85 fuel and being able to produce at least 25lbs. of boost. If he gave the list in that order, the video would've been about 2min. long.😏 He could've​ spent the other 26min. talking about the importance of each product and service.😉

Ok so go to 28 minutes. Thanks 11

A stock block LY6 with some added ring gap. Just about any cam with 230deg intake duration, decent duel spring and an S480 at 20-25 odd psi with conservative timing through the torque peak on E85. 1000whp. No need to over think it. Its been done a zillion times before.

You can put a fordged rotator with a good balance in so many different engines with a good tune and make 1000hp. Hondas are making 1000hp with rod/piston engines, guys are making 1200hp on stock block 8.2 deck stuff, 700hp on stock 360 magnums, 600hp on gm 4.3 engines .

Murdered Out Bowtie I’m currently whipping a Saab 9-7x with a 5.3, you can make 500 hp easy with a stage 3 cam and some various other bits but the 5.3 is a very cheap route to 1000hp using boost. It handles boost better due to it being a rather thick block and usually cast iron as opposed to other LS Engines.
