I can see the appeal to it for sure, if I didn’t run a 4L80 on my builds, I’d run at least one carbureted LS. But I don’t want to have a separate controller for the transmission. In my case I prefer to run factory computer and EFI so I can tune it all through the ECU

I’d love to boost my c10 that’s getting a 5.3 swap

That car is gone so I won’t be able to make that video

Haven’t dyno tested it yet. I’m going to build another one since I sold this one

@@Greymancustomz ok cool let us know when you do because if this makes good enough power then no need for ls3 then

For the budget I think this is going to be a good route. Maybe add on some ls3 heads.

@@Greymancustomz very well might look for a 6.0 then thank you for the idea

That’s a bad ass truck. Love it

It sounds really good but I haven’t ran it in a vehicle yet.

And miles

2500 ?

For the ignition since I’m running a carburetor. Otherwise the ECM would control it and the fuel injection at the same time.

Ah it’s easy. Just look up what your factory colors are and match it to the ribbon. The ribbon is the same colors as trailer wiring. White is ground, brown is running lights, yellow is left and green is right. I just used the colors I had available so I had to make it work but the stock truck harness was good up to the end of the frame rail where the connector is, I just modified past that point I have another truck to wire so I may make a video on that

I haven’t had one snap again after heating. They normally come out easy once I get a good weld on them

That’s rough to do it in the trudk

Good tip, I’ll try that next time

Thanks, this is the engine I’m going to be upgrading. Stage 2 cam

They have been known to go 400-500k miles

I think I paid 2200-2300 for mine with all the ad ons

Nope. Just the start of the build.

What

Lol

Dished pistons in the LQ4 and flat top pistons in the LQ9

Nice, I think they are good engines as well. Not sure why people bash them.

It’s sold

I ended up putting a truck Norris cam in it, but I sold the engine block to someone to and I’m now building it into a 6.2L with LS3 heads and a 569 comp cams cam. Should be a beast now.

​@@GreymancustomzMy ( Guess ) about 60-80 more) my problem is getting the hot rod" out of my System. My Project is more Suited for Torke, Lifted big tires.And I want to be able to tow car trailer without Detonation. But it is so easy to make big power, Before you know it everything's forged cnc stage 4 and turbo. And if you don't have a car to put it in, you end up Selling it hopefully getting back what you spent at the Machine shop. That's what getting me in trouble. I found a hell of a deal on a 6.0 punch to 6.2 all Forged and new just like that. I have to tie a string around my finger to remind me that's not what I need for my truck 🤒

@@kevinwest3689for my personal trucks I just put a cam in and call it good. I’m not trying to make big power for my own rig. I have a stock L96 6.0 in my 2wd 56 Chevy truck right now and I have a cam and torque converter for it that I haven’t found the time to put in.

Thank you! 👍

@@Greymancustomz thank you, I enjoyed the video.

@@sidewaysmotorsports good to hear. Makes me look forward to making more

It sure put a smile on my face.

The buzzing is from my parts cleaner

This is what I enjoy most.

@@Greymancustomz much respect sir keep please keep the videos coming

Will do I enjoy sharing what I’m doing. Going to a car show tomorrow but after that I’m going to make a longer video explaining what’s happening with this 6.2L I’m putting together. It’s a really cool build.

Thanks 👍

Ya that’s a bit of concern but I figure I can always put more cloths on. I’d prefer to be cold then hot.

@@Greymancustomz Thank you!

Depends what your going to be using the vehicle for. I always go with a Brian Tooley truck stage 2 cam since it sounds good and doesn’t require a torque converter. But one of the trucks I’m building will be getting a truck Norris cam from Brian tooley racing and it will have a 3k stall converter.

@@Greymancustomz it’s a 91 k1500, I wanna make it into a street truck, I don’t mind getting a bigger stall. I’ve also got some 1 7/8 long tube headers and a fast lsxr intake, I’m trying to push 400 whp

May want to look into a turbo or super charger

@@Greymancustomz I was thinking about a turbo but that’s gonna be till later on, I wanna build a n/a truck

@@obsjosee stroker kit and some heads.

I totally agree with that. If you arnt racing it, what does it matter ? Good power and good fuel economy making it a perfect swap Candidate

Been working well so far

Me too. This is my dads truck so I enjoy this one the most

BTR truck Norris

I think you would be 350-380 but that’s because your lacking a little compression compared to the ls2 that is rated for 400hp

You should run a Summit Single Plane Cam 240/252 .569/.569 106 (with 1.7 rockers, 1.8 rockers are equal to 244/256 .604/.604 106 at the valve)With dished pistons and 317 heads a LQ4 has 9.4:1 compression, using 706/862 heads drops 10cc of chamber volume, raises compression to 10.6:1 with 0.051" head gaskets, if you use a 0.027" head gasket that will raise your compression 0.7:1 for 11.3:1. Other wise flat top 4" pistons will also add 0.7:1. The 240/252 is like the grown up version of the Truck Norris. You'll get better results if you port the heads and possibly if you have the intake valves upped to 2", you can buy remanned 862/706 heads with 2" intakes for like $600-700 a pair on eBay. You'll only lose 9hp peak for 500rpm upstairs with the smaller valves, you'll gain 10-15tq for 1200-1500 rpm in the middle with the smaller valves on a 6.0 according to Holdner's testing, without heads ported upping valve size the point of diminishing returns on cam duration may be reached earlier. I have wrestled for a long time myself trying to decide the best plan of action for an LQ4 I have and if I want to use a set of 706s or 241s(milled down to at least 64cc), dished or flat top, cams, intakes, head gaskets, in a relatively heavy 2004 GTO with tall 3.46 gears and a T-56. Those are some of the considerations I worked out.

Thank you. I’m really excited about this bed finally being on the truck. Been something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. I’ve was going to put a step side because I have one of those to, but when this popped up for sell I had to have it

Find me on Instagram and DM me. I’ll help you out

I’m going to be doing more first fire up videos soon.

I’m running the stock OEM head gaskets

What I’m doing isn’t critical otherwise I would have gotten a level

Thanks 😊

This project isn’t critical and this way is better than eye balling it.

It turned out nice. So it worked for me

Worked out good for what I was doing

Worked out well for what I was trying to do
