For example, what to do when the main bearing clearances are smaller / bigger than originally thought...what do you do. Same for rod bearings or when the bore is bigger or smaller than expected etc etc. I understand this wouldn't be nearly as exciting for us experience folks but I think the younger generation would appreciate having a "source" to turn to.

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

This video is just an advertisement for all the parts used. $800 builds have very little parts to advertise.

[@confuse3671]

$800 will get you a camshaft kit. But if the engine has decent compression, decent oil pressure, and you aren't going to rev it to the moon, a camshaft in an LS2 (6.0 L) could get you very close to a 500hp, streetable motor - with headers. Add heads and your at 550. Build a stroker, keep the compression high, and you have upper 580s.

Ls motors are not big TQ makers. The older SBC and BBC make better TQ. But less hp and don't Rev as good.

[@LordMustangGT93]

I want to step in and stay thats kinda BS too. ALOT of people race from stop ligths still... and like you said, towing people want the low end. My 460 BBF only goes to 3800RPM stock. I put a nice trans in it with a billitt converter, so it will flash to 1500rpm now which is so much nicer for stop light starts, But yeah, there's a reason chassis dynos start at 2000rpm, you need drivability lol.

[@bobbyschlitz6757]

Love builds like this. Could have gave it a bit more on the compression side of things, went to a long tube header, maybe a Fast lsxr or stock Ls3 intake for more mid range torque. My 408 put down 636 hp and 527 ftlb at 28 degrees, 11.8:1 compression, slightly bigger cam, and FED stage 1 LS3 cylinder heads. Cars a complete nutcase now. With 4.11s and a 6 speed to boot.

[@TDC-CRYPTO-LLP]

Out if curiosity what was your cost just a ball park, any specifics on your build recipe? Understand everyone doesn't like sharing their combos due to competitors, but just wondering.. haven't done a price breakdown of this engine recipe but given you having the same base build with little more compression, and few minor part changes and netting what 100ft lbs more tq as well as hp would be neat to see the comparison with costs compared to this build . I guess what I'm saying is a dollar cost average on hp with your build compared to this one..kinda cool to see a cheaper variant putting more hp and tq or where the best hp gain per dollar is best spent on a given area..hopefully this makes sense lol

[@Bobthebuilder.69]

My TS 388 was built 9 years ago and at hot rod power tour this year, it still made 523/488 at the wheel thru a 4l80e. It made 541/506 in 2014, so I'm super happy with it.

[@toomanyhobbies2011]

I miss "the old days" when magazines were the source of information. They had many comparisons instead of single-source part builds. This helped determine what parts you needed for your application, so you could save a little money. If you do some reading you'll find that the 317 heads are good for low end and not appropriate for much else. They're great truck heads, but you wouldn't want to use them on a race engine. Love how these guys just spray the lube all over the springs, missing the valve-rocker surface, and I guess this was a stroker kit that took this to 406 cu in. Love to pair that bottom end with my stock top end. A nice flat torque curve is best, and this Summit kit does a good job without mixing and matching parts from different sources. I wonder how much this build cost, maybe $10,000?

[@confuse3671]

If you ever find a price breakdown, please post it. $1600 block, $2000 rotating assembly, $3000 heads, $1000 camshaft, $1000 little parts (bolts covers retainer), $2000 oil pan intake etc. $3000 for EFI?????

Hi guys, great video as usual. You fella's are a natural team, don't change a thing. One question; I've only ever seen the show advertise & recommend certain pre-assembly lubes & thread lock products. But ! What are your preferred engine oils ? Do you refrain from mentioning specific brands because there are so many brands who could be valuable potential show sponsors. Followers and friends please jump in with your choices, and why. I bought a 93 Chevrolet Cheyenne in 95, with the 4.3 engine & 100k miles. It had a holed piston and cracked head (but it only cost $500). Anyhoo, I took that teardown opportunity to meticulously mic and record every measurable tolerance and compare them with factory specs. Everything was still factory-spec-identical!! I rebuilt the engine and put on an additional 243K miles, over a 25 year period (with only high $ synthetic oil). I tore the engine down 2 years ago, and all of the mic readings were virtually the same as when I started. So, what oils do you guys use for your favourite engines ?

I would die to see a LeMans type SBF, something that revs super high, would be so cool.

[@confuse3671]

The problem with really high reving motors are: 1) They beat up valve springs. and 2) they make no power at low rpms. Sucks to have to rev to 4500+ rpm just to beat the stock Honda Accord next to you. Old school motors have about a 4500rpm power band. So if you are peaking at 8500, your probably not making usable power below 4000. Make that a high winding 302.... on the street, it will be pretty much undrivable. I was young and dumb once (now just old and.... never mind), have a car that will not idle at all and trying to deal with loose torque converters and driving on highway etc. with no power brakes (or worse, power brakes that are spotty) and well, when you get older, you want that air conditioning. Cheaper and funner to build bigger motor OR boosted motor.

Been dealing with BS from so called OEM GM parts online. Ordered from Summit Racing pretty steady with no problems. If Summit keeps it up I'm just going to deal with them.

@@harveylong5878 My understanding that filming can be grueling on these shows. 10 hr days for weeks on end etc. Not for everyone.

@@confuse3671 true.. and I believe Galley had been doing it for like 10+ yrs ? I miss him too. Just not the same.

It’s no slouch for sure but I’m trying to figure out where the tq went… trickflow sells those head in a top end kit for ls3s 376ci and it makes like 580hp/525 ft lbs with an stock intake and smaller cam. Given there’s 30 more ci here should have at least made more tq. I’m guessing that sheet metal intake and slightly larger camshaft threw away some of the tq and wasn’t enough to make it rev or make more high end hp. Nice strong build but not what I was expecting…

I don't know what they're talking about. I cruise on the highway at right around 2,000 RPMs and then go to full throttle plenty of times

[@confuse3671]

Does the transmission kick down (or do you down shift?) After the down shift, that is the rpm you should be worried about.

[@ZedTee77]

con fuse a manual trans won’t kick down. I’ll hold full throttle at 1800 rpm going uphill towing car on a trailer, engine runs fine. If I were to downshift a gear it’d be doing 2400 and burning shitloads more fuel. I’ll stay in top unless it loses speed.

@@confuse3671 you're right after cruising at approximately 2,000 rpms if I floor it to transmission does kick down
