great video! love your attention to detail. looking forward to the next one!

What LSA

Us too!

You probably down a little horsepower from what they advertise bc you're running a full accessory drive which im sure they didn't n the torque is higher bc of the longer intake runners

Keep up the good work. Keep pushing and the subs will come. You have a quality vlog. 👏

Technical question. If you use a 6.0 iron block 4in bore and a custom 3in stroke crank do the rod ratios and everything come together to have a 8000+ rpm modern 302 LS and be reliable? With the great features of an ls would be like a modern 302 Z/28 would be interesting to see the power with a roller cam and those high flowing ls heads.

my cousins a Ford guy and he gets mad at me because i say Ford doesn't do anything other than a 5.0, what is it 40+ years of RND, it better be mint. i would have thought Ford would have more. IJS.

I might pull the trigger!

Do you run more oil with the melling high volume? Ive spun bearings on NA builds (and have heard stories from other people) and the culprit seemed to be the high volume pump. I'm sure theres a use case for them, higher volume is good for heat transfer, but doing the swap without any other changes is a big reliability issue in my experience.

Excellent tutorial on the build. Looking forward to seeing the numbers.

YES! Lets put it in Mustang!

I agree .thats an iron block.

I love the sound of my 98 explorers 5.0 😊

What in the PowerNation is going on here? 😄

"Lint free wipes" *lint all over the block mating surface after wiping cylinders*

They have been reving LS motors to 8k+ rpms for years now……

Super cool build of my favorite and most under appreciated LS engines, the four point Great !! A variation of this build I would love to see is the use of factory floated pin rods (we know they are good past 8,000 RPM), and flat top LS1/LS6 pistons !! I know there is always a push to use aftermarket parts for promotion, but I'm an old school guy who really appreciates the factory engineering in these parts and how they can be used/massaged to amazing results. Again, a super cool build !!

Could you put hemispheric heads and pistons in a LS 5.0?

Haha copying the coyote platform nice job 👍 good choice since coyote got rated best platform for boost.

Destroking is not required to turn 8k. A solid valve train does so why people give up displacement is silly

I am not understanding how you can use a under size bearing and a standard together. One would be thinker than the other!! I know its not much but its still not symmetrical. Maybe I did not pay attention close enough.

Yeah and Fuel press can add some adjust-ability especially at 43psi GM ol std, you can gain 2lb hr per injector by going from 43psi to 48psi i think is the final number.. So #30lb hr rated at 43psi is #32lb hr at 48psi... And so on, etc... A good fuel pump is a (MUST HAVE).. If you run more than say a Aeromotive 340LPH in tank, you need a controller... Like a Hellcat type...

I'm all confident

I'm really keen on seeing what valvetrain is chosen for this application, or what could be used to push past 8000-rpm reliably.

CZcams Recommendations: "hey, you like mad scientist engine stuff, check this video out" Me: "yup, this is very in my wheel house."

Great build! Love the detailed info. Lots of others shows leave out the actual build.

I’ve thought about this exact build since 2012, glad someone has the time and money to do it! and show us the process, Awesome build!

Great stuff

Ls 302 camaro z28 shoulda been a thing

So long story short, it takes a fully built engine with high end components do run the RPMs a Coyote can do stock? Curious what it would do power wise.

Amazing stuff !!

Of course you can equal or better the horsepower. But you can’t do it while meeting the Coyote’s fuel efficiency or the strict EPA restrictions. Thats the point. Try this build under THOSE rules and you’ll fail every time. You also used all the high end parts you could find while Coyote is a mass production engine.

That is an awesome milll, to be sure! Just a silly question, what's the fuel mileage on that about four blocks to a gallon?😂 I guess it really doesn't matter when you're traveling FTL! 👍😁👍

The micrometers should have come with gauges. The gauges have rounded tips on them so they are easier to calibrate against, don't use the square blocks..... Well you can, its just harder.

Now to adjust for E85 and only open when the intake valve is open...

Well oddly enough I was thinking about this yesterday......Now I know.. Very cool !!! planning my 6.0 LS Build

Subbed. Super cool, man!

Cast crank ?

What do you all think about David Vizard's camshaft equation?

I wish I would have went to school to learn machining

I wonder why people don`t use another wrist pin to "push" the clip into the groove?

You`re the first engine builder in a home garage that mic`s parts like a machinist and not using them like C Clamps.

It’s going to be interesting to see the Dyno results.

Why didn't you lube the cam completely???

I wouldve run a far tighter lsa paying attention to the dynamic compression . That rod ratio isnt going to pull on the port worth a dam during overlap to get flow started with a wide lsa . FACT !!! id rather rely on the breatheing ability , enhance the power strokes compression throughout its rev range , then use exiting gases to vacum my cylinder far better with a tight lsa for a substamtislly better initial fill with that really long rod combo . This is what a tight 108 deg lsa and resonable shorter duration (dynamic compression ratio of 8.0 to 8.3 to 1) offer for a powrrband with far greater torque everywhere . This emgine @302 cuin and ported 799s or 243s will be like haveing rectangular port heads vs ovals on a Rat . It needs that yank by exhaust gssses to get the fill movin !!! Harder to tune but so much better EVERYWHERE !!! Dont you guys get tired of wondering how the pros or for that matter Jap crotch rockets got their engines set up that rip everywhere low to high rpm ?? Theres no other way to make that engine use 300+cfm heads effectiveally with excellant throttle response and torque everywhere . They are called the laws of physics because the rules dont bend .

Now add boost

And the lifters?

I'd like to see a 6.0 or 6.2 block with custom crank with 3.0" stroke 12.5:1 compression. Maybe angle cut the heads to get the compression and port and flow the heads a bit. Get good flow. But importantly keep the velocity and swirl up. Port the heads and possibly fill the floor with epoxy. About .120-.150" on rec. Port heads carefully unshroud the valves. Polish the chambers. Ceramic coating the chamber and exhaust ports. Possibly go with larger valves. With multiple angle valve seats. A 4340 crank, and rods long enough to make up the difference. Similar pistons in 4.03+ bore. It should come in around 307-312 cid, maybe slightly larger , another thing id like to see, is a LS7 with a 4.8 crank. With modified LS7 heads, cut them a bit, and back fill the bottom of the ports, open up the bowls smooth out the port. Then fill the bottom of the port about 5/8"-3/4" then slowly open them up on a flow bench. Testing each port until the right shape and size deliverd high flow with high velocity. Testing from .030" lift to 1.200". Not looking for actual flow at yhe obviously outrageous lift. Looking more for port stability and high velocity and volume in the .400"-.800" lift. The match the intake to the intake ports and making the first 10mm if the bottom of and top of the port about .080" larger. And the intake port about .050" smaller. To leave a slight ledge the air doesn't really notice going in. But will effect reverse flow. Then spec a cam with a slight bit more duration at .050" than you think it would want. The high velocity and anti reversion should keep the TQ that would normally be lost. A 5.0L will be lazy with 7.0L high revvng heads. Therevis basically 2.0L difference in flow it would want to rev to possibly 12k+ rpm and be lazy below 6-7K rpm. I figure it would behave like the cam was about 4 sizes too big. It would probably sound mean at idle tho... Sorry to ramble again, have a awesome day...🎉

Cool build process 👍: I like those LS screamers.

looking forward to the next episode
