I Bought TWO 6.2L LS Blocks & Rec Port Heads!

Got a smoking deal on a pair of 6.2L LS blocks and 823 rectangle port cylinder heads! I’m definitely addicted to aluminum blocks and have so many build ideas in mind. We don’t plan on building these engines right away as we have too many other projects on the go, but I couldn’t pass up on this opportunity.
I promised the seller I would not say how much I paid for them (as part of the deal).
Also, Duke the 1956 Chevy Wagon makes the best engine hauler.

In the immortal words of Derek from VGG “help me understand” how Danny can even concentrate and get anything done! “And I ain’t kiddin’ ya”.

[@jasontengan1233]

No doubt, she even got cute feet!

[@1987grand]

You got a new professional shop and new man, Travis still scrounging in junk yards!! Way to Go!!

[@azmadmonk1]

I like that the engineers have their own "clean room". Very cool.

[@rickbailey189]

Liv is like a lovely young gypsy lady version of a Daisy Duke. That is so sexy to see her working on an engine block. She's got the greatest personality and she seems quite excited to work on those engines. You go girl. Hope someday you'll find that muscle car you've always wanted. 😀😉😊🥰😆

[@jameswilliamson1019]

Danny was right about the combination of parts that can be used to create the desired amount of Horsepower. If longevity is what you want a more moderate build will get it for You. Who needs 850 HP to get to the market on a daily trip. A 9.5 piston set with the right cam and aftermarket goodies, on that block will get you 650 at least and you can still get it to run on mid-grade gas.

Nice ls3's you have there. I had an ls2 .030 over with a 4.1 stroker crank(418). Gmpp ported ls3 heads, stock intake w fast 98 tb. 11.7 pistons. I had a a cam guy spec me a cam to run 93 octane pump gas. 235/250 600lift 113+4 good street cam with a 3600 stall. Actual stall at the track was 4000. 6.9@98mph 1/8 mile. 1.52 60ft. I am putting in a new ls3 in the 98 T/A this time. Using the same crank in the ls3(427CID)with a zero lash solid roller with 700 lift speced by Cam Motion for 93 octane, Fast mid runner intake and 102mm tb, 11.7 pistons, Dart pro1 ls3 heads. These heads make 700+ hp N/A on a 440 cid engine and work really well on NOS, 900 hp. Red 98 T/A ,3600 Yank, 4:10 Moser 9", Hoosier 16/295/50(10.5x28)DDR2. All the suspension mods too. 3300lbs

I still love my Chevy old school Big Blocks

[@dropbearrc9819]

Cant wait for the build vids. Congrats on scoring two.

[@user-wt9il2xl4g]

Yep, go check em out Liv. You rock hard girl! Luv ya!

[@chriscatarcio2983]

That's. So nice. The blocks are to. And thumbs up for doing it with a WAGON. Instead of a 50 K . Race Truck.😁💯..

[@steveduncan8893]

Paint one of them red and put it in Grease! 😎

[@shadetreeKennyT]

Is that a bamboo ceiling in the wagon? I've never seen that done before but it fits that car's vibe perfectly! Neat idea. 👌Those blocks are great, what a find! I can't believe how light they are!

[@T0tenkampf]

Popular vw surf van mod, cool to see it used in another platform

[@jasonjones5213]

I've never commented on here before, but nice score.I like both your ideas.

[@andrewjohnson3622]

These videos keep getting better and better. 😀

[@aphil4581]

If your going to stroke it make sure you get some H beam rods @ 6.125 for less piston to wall friction. Lot's of shelf pistons, recessed valve slots on flat tops made for this. 4.1 and 4.0 stroke is common up to about 12.1 compression that can run pump gas with a good Cam designer like Cam Motion cams and others. They can rev up past 7500 rpm with power if you like. A good cnc port job would be worth it being stroked. Just grind reliefs at the bottom of the cylinders for the rod bolts to clear. Even the stock Ls f-body pan has a slot at the front to make room for rod clearance that needs to be opened up about .040 deeper for the larger rod bolts that come on H-beams. It's a lot easier than it sounds with the blocks being aluminum.

[@moose1992caprice]

I'd love to have two Ls3 blocks. Good job guys.

[@jimhesse6563]

Great find!

[@ronniebass7072]

my mechanic is building me a 355 chevy w/ transmission also gonna have to up grade the wiring due to all upgrades, like the music, headlights, vintage air, motor for convertible top. the car is gold, black and chrome 3pc. rims , have re-chrome the numbers.

[@davidowen888]

HAPPY DAY !

[@infamousnova]

Nice score! Build it N/A Liv, it's different! His build is gonna be sweet to

[@MayhemAndGridlock]

Awesome pick up of the engine blocks. Good thing they're aluminum or they could have broken the vintage tailgate door on the wagon. Good for you!

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

pain in the ass to replace if I remember from watching my Dad 40 years ago ,I think.

[@D.Guitar]

looking forward to these built for Speed

[@Internalcombustion1954]

Can’t wait to see more on these. I know you probably don’t want to talk money but I’m curious as to what a good deal is on something like that. It seems as though those are hard to come by.

[@ChrisDavis-dt6xx]

Nice rear bumper

[@davntelisha19]

Blessed

[@VATION3RD]

The last three's boards a little bit bigger than 4 in, From the factory, the LS3 comes with a 4.065-inch bore, 6.098-inch rods, and a 3.622-inch crank. This yields 6.2L or 376 cubic inches.

[@The918OBS]

2 clean slates for something awesome 👌

[@pmotorsports8276]

Clean slates 😉👍

[@LesMorrisracing]

Very cool Olivia My Ford engine is only 545 ci N/A aka 9.0h

[@markmcintosh6968]

Two extra engine stands,and Travis has none 😂

[@CJColvin]

If I had the money I would definitely use em to for the 2 Canadian Muscle Cars 🇨🇦 (like the 6.2L LS3 with factory ported cylinder heads, an upgraded cam, and a ported factory intake manifold for the 68 Beaumont SD and the 6.2L LS3 based 408 Stroker with ported factory cylinder heads, upgraded cam, and a GM LS single plane intake with a Holley Terminator EFI for the 66 Acadian Canso SD).

[@FixerUpRon]

Sweet!

Nice Liv 👍🏻

[@MAsonTRIX]

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

I'm not a ls guy but I do like a ls that is turbid they make crazy power and are so reliable that's a fact but I never seen one that was really bad ass ran pure N/A that impressed me I've also seen nitrous ls motors that run good I'm not knocking them buy no means I'm really a big block guy but a LS is not out of the question. Would love one with twin turbos

[@donreinke5863]

There is a wrecking yard here that sells ANY engine for $200...from a 2.6 Mitsubishi in a Chrysler K-car to diesels, and that includes the LS stuff (which I have no interest in) ..they even had a 240ci 6 cyl in a 71 Ford pickup....that is IF you can get there as soon as it comes in, the late model stuff goes FAST. I picked up a 4.0 Explorer engine and a roller cam 302 for under $400 Im using them for builders but both were in running condition. Any transmission is $125..from Turbo 350s and A-500s to Allisons and hybrid transmissions.

[@pmotorsports8276]

Location?

[@jasonmorgan336]

What casting number are the heads? I’ve got an aluminum 6.2 in my Silverado with 823 heads. Hoping the motor outlasts the truck so I can swap it into something

[@diggindiggenit6540]

Cool video, not sure what a smoken good deal is for those blocks, take a guess and say 400 each? you can tell I have never bought one lol

[@TheJayterror]

WOO SLAYER CAMARO!!!

[@beaumont9072]

I feel like all the videos I’ve seen you guys are forever searching for LS blocks but I don’t think I’ve ever seen you guys do anything with them what’s the projects 🤷‍♂️

So LS3 even, nice. I am looking for an LSA block myself but not going to be in a hurry

[@aphil4581]

Havin the oil squirters on the ls9 is a huge plus for cooling and oiling the pistons and walls if your using a power adder.

Make sure you check the bores good, 3 people in my orbit have had LSA blocks with cracked sleeves and all 3 cars ran perfect when found.
