Kevin is on a tear right now. Got some Month of Freedom vibes going with these daily videos!!! Keep on keeping on, brother!!!

KSR’s week of freedom 🇺🇸🦅

[@716monk]

I know you're in LS country but, please, PLEASE save that 2j and build it for a project with KSR quality. That would be phenomenal content

[@duanebailey6253]

should build what ever engine is cheapest. have to see what you have laying around as well. 2js are going for insane money as well.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

It would be cool to see it put in something else and given a new life

[@wbball15]

Find yourself a '69 Charger, buy the engine from Kevin and swap it in.

Kevin what I appreciate most about your channel is your real time take me as I are videos. Good, bad and otherwise. A real person makes and admits life includes making mistakes.

[@earlrichardson385]

Started the video with a “safety burnout”👍👍👍

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Safety burnout included! Had to make sure the engine was safe before you pulled it :)

[@statementleaver8095]

Oh so that's what that was all about......Here's me thinking Kev had Issues with the Neighbour's over Parking🤣😂

Drew is definitely a very cool dude. Very much a shoot from the hip type person, like most of us Southerners are. Always great videos. Enjoy the local to me content creators. Living the life myself here in Lake County FL.

Cool build. It is great to see a real shop working vs guys winging it in their garage.

[@micahbuchheit1283]

[@akabruno1]

Good morning Kevin, thanks for all the inside information you explain to us. We true gearheads need "ALL THE DATA" .

[@scottz63]

Man what I would give to have a business across the street from yours to hang out and watch the shenanigans! LOL!

[@rollerdragon]

12:00 kevin... the sheer attention to detail you put into every car you build is amazing... we know the you tube stuff presents a certain way... but since you started posting regular, i have learned SO much about structure, tie points, linear design and suspension geometry... i learn these things from you like i learn from friends... this knowledge will be useful to design an ev drag car.. i have a dream..

[@devoid42]

Loved this video. Hearing stream of thought on a build is money.

[@chrisjohnson9587]

Your definitely a real shop your work ethic is over the top and your attention to detail is absolutely amazing you spot what need to be accomplished to make things perform better and boom done its impressive

Brisbane!! KSR is the only American KZbinr that seems to constantly work on decent quality cars, the good stuff like you see in Australia. The other yank KZbinrs are funny to watch because they are so dodgy lol

[@dylanzrim3635]

@@Grant82gc the Oz youtubers are just as dodgy, they just don’t broadcast it so motor-reg don’t flag the rego. (Don’t say it won’t happen, Adam LZ was banned from Australia because he had videos on YT driving modified cars on public roads, regardless of the legality of said activity in the state he did so)

[@shawnsecleter2453]

It's a perfect match

[@andylewis7360]

TBH it was a welcome break to see a burnout car that doesn't constantly hit the rev limiter. Looking forward to seeing this build develop! Good job, Kev!

[@mclarenscca]

I had a 88 Honda Prelude 4WS that I used in solo II in SCCA. The very first rally-cross in my region, I decided to run it. Bought a pair of Blizzaks just for the event, and took 1st in my class, and second over-all. Would have done better if I had raised the ride height up a little. Fun stuff!

[@micahbuchheit1283]

Super Stoked!!!!

Tons of room for activities 👍😁

Mock up blocks is a plus especially when it's aluminum with "custom"weight reduction holes 🤯🤘

[@rodgerdodger414]

We have had rain for the last 3 weeks in Southern Louisiana

[@jtyoung706]

The prices on SC300 shells just jumped by $1K because of this video!

[@sewing1243]

Kevin and the guys at KSR may already have used one that way before, but I saw Derek on VGG use a hydraulic floor stand as a makeshift drill press in his latest video.

[@mikeybhoutex]

Chop the cross member. You got a ton of room to move that assembly back. I've seen ya do this stuff, you'll even make that cross member removable so you can get the trans out in the field. :) This is gonna be epic.

[@curtismorris8126]

Righteous burnout intro!!!

[@michaelhite1433]

I use to pay no attention to these Lexus, now I want one. Our local u-pull it had one of these. I almost pulled the 2JZ. 6 cylinders are only $200.

[@quixototalis]

Nice farewell rip! I had forgotten how cool a 2jz sounds when revved.

[@darcykeyaus]

Day 2!!! And cheers for the weather update

[@UniCrafter]

There's a reason Utes are a favorite for burnout cars. More weight over the front, less over the rear, easier to get the rear end loose. Keep the engine as forward as possible.

[@dylanzrim3635]

Leaf springs severely underloaded are what do the trick, also skinny tyres

[@UniCrafter]

@@dylanzrim3635 ah right, interesting, cheers

Ive used a 2010 camaro water pump before. Its pulley will line up with a “truck” balancer and the outlet on it comes out on the drivers side which makes for an easier hook up to your radiator. My 0.02.

[@Rebar77_real]

Great send-off rip!

[@bradleyt3820]

I'd keep the engine forward if possible. Will spin the tires a lot easier with less weight on the rear. Unless you're planning on trying drifting with it in the future. Then move it back so you can get more grip. Looking good 🤘

[@brentonmiller8861]

Wrong, still need weight over rear or not enough friction to make good smoke or get the tyres off, my motor is almost completely behind the front axle Centerline & I recently added 150kg in my boot & that is still not enough weight on the rear tyres

[@MyHotRod79]

Is it just me or is the time lapse music just prefect.👍🏻😁

Love the content of all your videos. Educational , too. Keep'em coming.

[@ripnsoar]

Awesome. I need to put an LS in one of my z30 too

[@Swerval]

leave the motor forward. a bit of weight on the nose helps it stay planted on the wheels during a burnout

[@scottr9900]

P-air makes mock-up blocks that are anatomically correct. Not sure how big the investment is, but it might be worth it for all the fab work you do.

[@Kindaquick1]

Fun build. It's gonna be cool.

[@tonyrgnash]

have you ever considered putting in a "shop cam", would be good to see some of the other work that the guys do, that said I can't wait to see the LS go the in the Lexus and the first fire up.

Video every day l love that idea

[@toptierautomotive]

that fitment is sweet BRB i got a Pile of truck 5.3's I need to go find me a SC300.

[@nogoodanyhow]

Might wanna beef up the suspension a little bit with putting the LS in, not sure an i6 suspension will hole a v8 very happily

[@2509498788]

Wow . You don't get to go for rides like this very often . You always get a front row seat when you watch this show..

[@trinidadian_jedi]

Kevin I love what you do and I love the Lexus SC platform. I kind of hate you because all the info that you're putting out there but it's already out there anyways good job man keep up the good work

[@RSCamaroBlack]

Im pretty sure the pans starting from left goes, F-Body then Truck then LH8 then GTO. Corvette pans have the wings on both sides and are pretty much unusuable in anything other than a corvette. Have fun with the build!

[@lorrystagg6578]

I'm not that surprised that the LS fit. Since The toyota soarer came with a V8 option

was thinking the same thing. and that 1UZFE takes up a lot of room. just had to check comments before I said the same thing

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! 😊👍

[@theosmit6366]

Committing to cutting the rear crossmember gives you a ton more options for engine placement and it is probably less work to do that, than to spend time fussing over every spare millimeter at the front of the engine.

[@loganfigeac1]

[@alexknouse9133]

Funny enough, I've been debating doing the something like this but inverse. I've got a 5th Gen Camaro with the 3.6 and I'm know as "that wacko who wasted his money on the 6 cylinder Camaro". I finally paid the car off and wanna do something fun and different. I don't mind being "the guy with the 6 cylinder Camaro" so I've been thinking of either a JZ or an RB swap and turning it into a drift car

Will be a great build for sure. KSR made :) Just think its sad with the mainstream LS swaps.. The 2JZ gave it Character. compared to all the V8's in burnouts :)

[@gregadams558]

Plenty of room for accessories and cooling.

[@stephenrobinson5391]

the lexus sc cars also came with 1uz v8 engines so im not entirely surprised the ls fits like a glove haha

[@deejay5411]

Exactly what i was thinking. 1uz-fe is a huge engine compared to a push-rod v8 like the LS

[@MaryJane-qc6pb]

Now you have to build 2JZ river boat :)

[@82leone]

The Ls should fit great we got the Lexus with the Toyota v8 in Australia 😎👍

[@jenibond]

I have no idea what talking about ! but would it be good idea to add weight plate (or bar to hang weights) on the front of the car like the front wheel drive drag hondas doo ? As surely it would be good to have more weight over front wheel for breaking (stop push through front tires) and steering kind a reverse drag setup were your 70/30 front weight this mean the tire will spin easier as there less pressure on them ?

[@michaelberry1340]

Not surprised it’s got heaps of room you could get the Toyota version with there 4.0 twin cam v8 in it

[@asmrhead1560]

What is the LED readout showing? Alternator voltage, or voltage at the fuel pump or something?
