[@bennyboom63]

Thanks bro. Good info to know. Im actually lookin for one rite now. Do any of the LS engines come with forged internals?

[@Coverman66]

The pistons are Hypereutectic, i could be wrong but id have to say no.

[@27sincity]

I'm new to the LS game, so I have questions a plenty. Would that particular LS in this video fit in a 71 Cutlass, that's what I have right now. Thanks for any info guys

[@Coverman66]

Yes it does pretty much all LS engines are the same size..

My 08 trailblazer SS on the passenger side 243 and in back of the eng where is the transmission is it has 6.0L so What type of heads do I have ?

[@Coverman66]

you have catherdral port LS2 heads. they are standard in the TBSS

[@codyfeatherstone731]

This might be a dumb question, but how do you tell if it’s an LS one or an LS two Or LS 3?

[@Coverman66]

not a dumb question at all.. LS1, 2 and 3's are all aluminum blocks and the casting are on the front of Cyl 1

[@BruceLee-xn3nn]

LS about like the sbc,has to know your harmonic balancers.

[@Coverman66]

you know it brotha bruce..

[@richardwashburn3893]

What would you say is a better engine ls1 or ly6

[@Coverman66]

id go with the ly6.. ls1 is all aluminum but the ly6 has ls3 heads its a 6.0..

[@eduardobotello4908]

Would it be possible that a lq4 block is stamped as a 4.8/5.3 ???

[@Coverman66]

never seen that happens.. im going to say no..

[@MrRagequitnow]

Thanks for the 411!

[@frankm2385]

Is 4.8 and 5.3 stamped on the the block like the 6.0?

[@masoncampos7043]

4.8 and 5.3's are the same block. They are marked 4.8/5.3L the Only way you can tell is by looking at a piston or the the stroke of the crankshaft

[@Coverman66]

yep.. right there on the front of the block..

[@travismoore8622]

Thanks for the info. By the way, you look exactly like Mr. Sandman from Punch Out

[@Coverman66]

You think so? lol

[@davisbrian2912]

Hi to everyone! I just bought Chevy Silverado 2019 5.3L engine and I'm curious about engine number plate. Where I can find it?

[@masoncampos7043]

If you're bringing an iPhone to figure out what LS engine you have that might be your 1st problem! 😂

[@Coverman66]

lolol ok Mason i see your a Droid boy.. lolol good one lolol

[@game_tight7318]

What does the numbers on the deck near the head casting code mean

[@Coverman66]

sorry im not sure which group of numbers youre asking about..

[@wildestcowboy2668]

What's so special about a LY6?

[@Coverman66]

cast block with ls3 heads..

[@chevecrazy454ss]

Wouldn't you be able to tell by measuring the pistons or internals some how?... I bought a engine a while back like in 2013 and I was told it was a 5.3 that was in a 02 ss camaro but 02 camaros ss don't come with 5.3 that I know of anyways recently I've been curious as to wtf I bought back then lol but all my numbers are gone and been machined off literally smooth as butter with the block but I also have read that when engines are built and machined they remove the numbers and my LS1 engine I got is cammed has edelbrock machined heads with the shops name engraved on the heads and found out they are their lightnenfire type heads supposedly and was told the engine had 435hp at purchase with no paperwork I'm just curious as to how I can be sure and make sure its not a damb 4.8 now lol I got it with a t56 transmission and ecu tuned and all for like 4800 back in 2013 now after a while I'm here wondering if I got screwed or not... =/ but its been a great engine for me and obviously has a little kick for what it is just confused as to wtf it is

[@Coverman66]

wow ground off cast numbers? even in the back of the block?

[@chevecrazy454ss]

@@Coverman66 I'm to the point of im about to redo the engine bay and paint it but I will be taking the transmission off to check when i do that that's my last option but yes everything's smooth on the engine block from what I can tell no numbers that can mean anything for me to be able to tell anything so far last hope is the back side inside the transmission side of the engine if nothing there then I'll be totally lost

[@bsqueeze19]

Is a Jasper Stock Performance engine good for tbss?

[@Coverman66]

i hear good and bad.. whats wrong with your engine?

[@bsqueeze19]

@@Coverman66 metal shavings in the oil. Already swapped it out. Just miss that chop I had from the cam. But it seems to run pretty good still.

Most welcome brotha CC..

[@Ls3guy]

823 are 6.0 and 6.2 heads 317 are 6.0 heads

[@georgenicholas5880]

What heads are 243 ? I have 243 on my ss did thay come with 243 heads from the factory ?

[@georgenicholas5880]

What is a 243 ?

[@georgenicholas5880]

Randall Wyatt what’s a 243 ?

[@mrtws63]

if the engine is un molested . can u also tell from the heads ?

[@Coverman66]

it would be a guess because heads can be changed easily.. the casting on the block is the best way..

[@rnotmtv1515]

How about a ls1 5.7 ?

[@Coverman66]

it should be located on the same spot.

[@TheGonzalez1992]

How much would something like that go for
