Late Model Engines (LME) in Houston Texas is known all over the world as the place to call for the most insane LSX and LT based builds...among Gen III Hemi and Ford Mod Motors too. Here we take a tour with one of the owner/founders Bryan Neelen who does not hold back anything! Bryan explains every step of the process along with lots of specific "proprietary" technical preferences that LME has used to build their success over the last 18 years. Everything from complete engines to bad ass billet aluminum components. Its all here...and we get to see it all!

Did you guys learn anything from Bryan that surprised you? I thought it was awesome how he was not only so explanatory about every part of the process but also went into specifics about tolerances and stuff like that. That’s some top level stuff! The LSXcalade will come back better than ever with LME handling version 2.0. Tell them they gotta make a billet hi ram lid 😂😂😂 New Merch! stapletonautoworks.com

Being a S.A.M Alumni myself, it's really refreshing to see an interview with an engine builder that: A: Knows what He's talking about. B: Doesn't rush through and sugar coat the details C: IS successful and a leader in their field. I know demand is low, but it would be really Kool to see an intake manifold with an integral intercooler to fit classic GMC 6-71 type blowers to Ls and LT applications that actually FIT and aren't overpriced junk that require tons of work.. Great interview and tour of LME man, Your motor is in good hands..

Theres just so much "awesome" in the video to even acknowledge it all in one comment. First and foremost, I've gotta mention.. seeing one of those retrofitted CNC machines at work is seriously cool, I've watch This Old Tony for a long time and that was one of his major projects. Also.. pretty cool to watch some modern equipment at work, even though I'm loyal to my oldschool stuff thanks to Abom79. Secondly though, its so awesome to listen to you guys talk about engine assembly and manufacturing at the level you guys are. Clearances are just a two dimensional figure in the 3D picture that makes up an engine. Knowing that you have 0.XXX clearance on your mains is great and all- but it doesn't tell you where the center points between each main live, and where those exist vs the center point of the main journals on the crank.. so although it sounds so simple, its definitely refreshing to hear this being discussed. We need more of this, and less of the "Hype" KZbinrs who are really only good at cramming a sponsored engine and sponsored transmission, in a rough car that has 20k worth of sponsored fab work to make everything bolt in.. followed by them going to blow it up 3 passes in because somehow they still managed to mess up the install.

Great to hear LME were doing dovetailed o-rings & grooves, just provides that nice bit of extra holding to ensure gaskets stay exactly where they're meant to be. It's the extra little things like that, which help make a good product even better. Key thing that stood out, was delegating the jobs to the best folks you can find - they know what they're doing, so you can concentrating on growing more of your own skills and your business!

Since I discovered you on KZbin (it was the Holman & Moody video) I’ve subscribed and I’m catching up on your “back issue” videos whenever I’ve got time. I really like your concept of visiting manufacturers and shops and just letting the camera roll, letting the people tell the story spontaneously, without them having a prepared marketing script. My feeling is that some of them seem to get carried away a bit and may tell more than may have initially intended, providing all the more understanding for all of us viewers and additional spice to the story. Both you and your partner rarely interfere with the process, but ask intelligent and frank questions, making the videos about the people and their work, and not making it about yourselves. Doing road trips together concerning topics you’re obviously both interested in is a great way to spend your time. My girlfriend and I share a passion for cool cars and motorcycles, so I know how fortunate you both are, too. I’m watching your videos from Germany, where I grew up, but now nearing retirement age I will be relocating to Southern California. I’m particularly interested in learning more about all the car action there and who does what in terms of top quality projects, parts and workmanship. Would love to initiate and be part of a project when I get acquainted with the scene there. Although all of your videos have a logical ending and the viewer comes away with good insight about what’s going on, I could continue watching, if there was additional footage. I rarely get that feeling and its a sure sign for me the stuff is really good. Please take that as a sincere compliment of all of what you are putting into your videos. Thanks for all the effort, travel, cost, preparation, coordination, time, passion and whatever else needed for producing these great videos. Keep ‘em coming!

LME has to be a direct competitor to Mast Motorsports due to the quality and attention to their builds. I like the fact this guy has no secrets, and is quick to explain his process. This is because anyone can copy the process but not everyone will take the attention to detail LME is committed to provide. This video should be a great tool for LME to direct a potential customer toward their services. I know I wouldn't mind sending a set of heads to LME after watching these videos.

I worked at a company called Kenlab we did custom fabricating. It wasn't automotive we made equipment and parts for other industry's . A company would come to us and we would take their design and sometimes we would have to redesign the parts so they can be mass produced. We worked with Aircraft industry computer industry and medical industry. At Kenlab I made a few parts that are on the Voyager spacecraft. We would make one off parts to mass produced parts. I designed fixtures for holding parts to be welded. I also did close tolerance welding working as close as 0.003. I loved working there.

What never dawned on me was when he talked about engine break-in, where we just run a super rich tune to be "safe" and can wind up damaging the rings by washing the cylinders down. Something we had to be careful of on carb applications for the same reasons before EFI. Can't just throw tons of fuel at it and be "safe".

Amazing how things are done today compared to back in the 1970's. We used to just do it all in a garage with mostly hand tools and luck. Thanks for the great content and a big thank you to brian at LME! I have a few fellas that may be interested.

Ok, that was yet another great, really informative video. There is no one part of the video that stands out because I just found all of it so interesting. It's great to see someone's dream job become successful. And thanks for always finding those businesses/shops that we as watchers can learn about. Great job.

You asked great questions. ie what job would Bryan like to do of all tasks in the process and what is their future plan to build business. Bryan at LME is not reinventing the wheel but building a higher quality wheel. Good stuff. Thanks for this tour.

This was a great informative video. Love seeing the whole process. LME is really trying to solve problems and put out a reliable product, not just trying to make a sell. I will keep them in mind, I really liked the fact that Bryan was down with Taking the time to make it happen, and didn't just say the usual "due to ins. regulations" spill that so often gets thrown out there. Great job!

Love hearing more of these stories of people/companies rising from humble beginnings. Really found it interesting about them retrofitting the old Bridgeport (that was supposed to be scrapped) with CNC capabilities. Just like true mechanic work, always an opportunity for new life. So sorry to hear about Ruger, prayers for a rapid recovery.

What a great tour. I didn’t realize the everything on the engine develops from that first machining process on the block and then builds from there. Super informative and what a bad ass shop LME has. I’m sure your 427 is going to crank some serious horsepower and be reliable. Well as long as you don’t go boost crazy. Fantastic content as usual .

I don't own a LS or LT and don't plan to build one, But I was very impressed with their shop and the huge amount of professionalism there. Their machine work is very impressive and the fact that they mixed new technology with old reliable machining equipment was really cool to see. I've been to several machine shops and I have never seen one that clean. Very impressive facility and looks like a top notch company. Did he happen to mention if he planned on getting into other engine types in the industry? I.E Mopar, Ford Etc etc

Liking the new tear & build videos. Can't wait to see the LSXcalade, Monte Carlos, Uncle Rob builds come out on the channel & raced. Looking forward to more racing & "color commentary" from THE PEOPLE'S TRACK...
Why the LT engine is even better than LS, and may be better for you.
