I am still praying you get your car back,
Me too. Thanks
@@Calvin-Nelsonstill no word, no hints or dead ends? Man im really praying you get it back and in a condition you can put it back together. Hopefully they dont cut it up and maybe just pull the drivetrain and electronics-the things that can be replaced as i would think only the body is the sentimental unreplaceable part. You would think even scum theives would understand the sentimentality of it and just wipe the body down(untraceable to them) and leave it somewhere to be found.
I have a question if you see this as yall have a lot of experience with stock LS, the 216 casting crank have yall noticed a drill pattern on the counterweights that differentiate the gen 4- 5.3, 6.0, 6.2? Out of the few i have atm the 6L on the front counterweight turning clockwise the leading edge has a small hole followed by a larger hole then about three quarters of the way toward the trailing edge another small hole. The 5.3 has a small hole near the leading edge and then over towards the trailing edge a small hole followed by a large hole. The rear ctw is drilled similar on both. The front and rear rod throws or pins(front side of front throw, rear side of rear throw) are gun drilled deeper on the 6L so i question if the larger displacements(heavier bobweights) have more weight removed from the pin by drilling deeper to help lessen the counterweight needed for the heavier bobweights. This was gen 4 stuff with the heavier rods, my gen 3 stuff is drilled different. If anybody reading this has any knowledge on this please leave a comment here to help me figure this out.
You may want to cut and past this question on a video of Powell Machine’s UA-cam channel. This sounds like something Daniel would know.
@@Calvin-NelsonI’m going to keep sharing it on both of my UA-cam channels and on Facebook too!!! If the attention continues to remain on the event then odds are that it will show up.
@@Calvin-Nelson Hello sir do you have any info on what I need to get this engine into a C10 square body? What trans etc.
Well done for not losing heart and continuing to do what you love. Good luck.
Glad to see you back at it.
Still wishing doom on the thieves...
Thanks. Honestly I feel nothing but sadness towards the thieves. For them to commit the crimes, they probably don't have a lot of love in their life. They should be punished for their crimes, but that's not my responsibility.
@@Calvin-Nelson - I had the same truck. (99 F350 7.3) It was stolen too, along with a whole bunch more of those trucks in this area within a short time. Due to this, I decided to replace it with something different...
My pickup truck is now a 6WD Cabover ex-army truck. WAY more fun. I can carry pallets of concrete. Rip down large trees. We take it on date nite...
My way of turning lemons into lemonade.
I suspect you won't see the truck, trailer or Studie again. It sucks bigtime. Especially the hassle of dealing with insurance companies.
That 4200 looks sick in the Camaro bay!
Almost like it was made to go there.
@@mpetersen6always what should've been there instead of the V6 or the 4banger.
Let's go, the dream doesn't die.
Good info about the coils, I know OEM Audi units are popular and relatively affordable. It's gonna open doors for many people.
This is probably one of your cleanest and most gorgeous overall builds. I'm really excited to see this thing perform!
Thanks bud!
The engine compartment looks awsome.
Put some security on that thing.
My favorite channel getting back on the horse and continuing on in the pursuit of speed? *Hell* yes. Mega props, keep at it Calvin.
That engine looks really good in the Camaro!
My Sunday morning is now complete, thanks to a visit from the Nelson family.
Hell Yeah! Get back on that horse. I know I'm speaking for others. But, We love your family and your content. Can't wait for the outcome.
Oh man! That engine looks right at home in there.
Full speed ahead man!! The community is grateful for your work
Good to see you all. Still praying for your success.
Great seeing you getting back up on the horse again 🤘🏻
Build back better than ever!!
Clean build.
Great to see a new video after the bad news.
he should make those coil brackets to where the coil is held at a slight angle and can flipped. That way the wires are coming off at a slight angle and the end user could decide the angle they wanted just by flipping the bracket.
That 4200 should have been an option in the Camaros, looks clean as hell in there man.
Glad to see you and your family back in the shop.
Still hopeful all goes well with the recovery of the Studeabaker and other equipment. Keep your head up and stay strong!
This car is going to sing! I hope you get your car back bro!
Man you guys move fast, cant wait to hear this thing
You’re an absolute inspiration for getting back to it after something so devastating, I’m hoping you get your car back and your truck but you’ve helped me make some decisions by seeing you refuse to give up here. Thanks man.
Looking good!!! Can't wait to see it rip!
I really want to run a 4200. I hope someone makes an solid rear sump oil pan for us non-weling folk.
Glad to see u back up and moving forward after the devastation
I quickly recognized the VW/Audi coils. As I was looking for a slimmer form factor of smart coil than the Toyota 1ZZ coils to fit a future project. And came across the VW/Audi coils. I like finding OE style components for projects. That way replacements are more likely to be found at a local parts store.
Great video and a interesting build. Wish I could drop dimes like that on the oil pan. Good to see dad helping out. What a talented family.
Thanks. It's been 8 years of practice to get to that point.
These are such cool engines. If it fit under the stock hood of a c6 I'd love one of these in my vette.
You're the best Calvin. We love you.
A new video from Calvin! WOOHOO 👍 I don't know why I love this channel so much. Hope you get the Stude back man.
Thanks man! I think it will come home.
I love it, It looks like it belongs there! Gonna be a really sweet build.
Still looking out and praying for a miracle. I love the Script on the valve cover!
Thanks!
This is such a creative take on a modern Camaro... My hat is off to you and your Dad
I love the yellow paint.
I remember seeing hotrod garage do one of these but they called it an American barra to see if it could be compared to the Australian barra.
Yep. That was fun to follow along with and we saw a huge spike to the channel activity because people were searching for more info on them. Wish they had done something more with that project.
After my built subaru flat 4 inevitably blows im rwd swapping one of these into it! platform is too good not too!
Appreciate your dedication!
Calvin, first of all, i hope you get your car back as soon as possible to end the nightmare you and your family are going through. Besides that I really want you to know How much I appreciate all the effort you make on keep developing things to this engine platform as you said in the past, every adaptation, mod, design parts you make by yourself or with some people or brand help is amazing to see for engine guys like us. So thanks for every thing you do with this engine. Can't wait to see this yellow beast screaming 6cyl power, and wish you keep upgrading and developing parts to this engine to get even more reliability and power in the near future! Have a great day bro, love to see all the family working together btw❤
Looking good, you guys are always forging ahead, good luck.
Good video! sad to hear about the theft. best of luck
Thanks. We won't let the thieves define our outlook on life. Hoping the Stude finds it's way back home, though.
Still wish he'd chosen a 'Vette, and had himself an American XKE - although the 4200 is probably too tall to fit without a hood bubble, and too long to fit at all, period.
'Vette engine compartments are tight even for an LS, and an LS is pretty compact for its displacement and power.
Thats on you to do....... I've long dreamed of a c4 with the nose and tail chopped off and monty ss front and rear clips grafted on.
Yeah. That also would be very cool. I bet we could make it fit.
@@Calvin-Nelson The width wouldn't be a problem, but you might need to seriously notch the firewall and/or move the radiator. Or maybe not. You know this sort of stuff better than I do.
Awesome build definitely my favorite of your projects can’t wait to see it race
Do you watch Josh's Engine Rehab? He did an Ecotec cylinder head and showed some factory issues. I wonder if the 4200 head has the same issue. I think you'd like his channel, either way. ;)
Great Build!! That 4200 just looks great in the camaros bay, maybe you should try building a turbo trailblazer that would be cool! Mine with 571k miles original engine and transmission, the trailblazer is extremley relaiable if taken care of, its an 02, and actully was able to get 0-60 in 7.2 seconds straight, i love it im never selling it❤️🔥 btw im still praying everyday for u to get your car back from the theives☺️
Those new coils look slick. I hope they workout.
Once this is done this needs to be reviewed by a bunch of channels to build the following for this engine
Wow that lump looks amazing in there, that valve cover pops! Those VW smart coils are very versatile, folks been using them in all sorts of applications with great success.
I really wish the aftermarket would start supporting this engine. There’s gold lying in junkyards all across America waiting to be discovered and polished up.
Also, I really hope you get your Studebaker back. I keep checking various classified in my area hoping someone was shortsighted enough to list it, or parts of it.
Those injectiors are fancy!
2:44 You don't have to over explain it. You made an American straight turbo six pony car
The upgrades look impressive!
I hope they find your stuff 👊
I love this build. Id like to see an NA atlas built into a daily driver. Mild 300 hp. Light weight chassis. Or even a station wagon. My trailblazer performed quite well on the road. Gas miliage wasnt bad. But id like to see what it could do without all the extra weight.
I’ve been checking your channel every day. What happened sucks but I’m glad to see you still doing what you do best.
That engine looks great in there! Like it belongs there!
I daily an old Audi that runs those type of coil packs, mine are red but basically the same. I've had a feeling they would fit but never thought they'd be able to handle 300hp per cylinder! I was considering going to a different style as I'm making about 100hp per cylinder but will soon putting a built engine in my car and while I don't plan on making a lot more power (another 25 to 50hp per hole) I do plan to spin another 1500 rpm. Maybe my coils are a lot better than I expected!
I hope you get your goods back.
That's a really clean look inside the engine bay.
Easing the edges reduces stress fractures and in theory less windage.
Lieekhe Glooove!! Looks like it was made to go in there. Sure wish GM would have sold them that way. 😊❤
Calvin, Sorry to hear about the loss of the car. However , it's good to see that your still continuing to keep moving forward despite the loss. Keep your head up sir. Progress is progress.
Keep at it, man. Love these videos that car will resurface
Btw oe vw red tops would look good with the ree valve cover
I didn't know this engine existed until I watched one of your videos.You gave me an idea with the 4200, i appreciate that. Just gotta get the VTEC sorted on a proper ecu and it's going to be a revelation 😂
Yayuus. Been looking to see what you've been up to... glad to see you're still at it. Sorry to hear about the POS that stole your ride. Hope things turn out ok for you. I always look forward to seeing what you put another 4200 into. Those motors are still slept on but you're results are definitely a great part of the conversation when I talk about them with my shop buddies.
I love this project! I’m 73 years old, and way back in 1970, when the 2nd Gen Camaro was just coming out, I speced, and almost bought, a six cylinder 1970-1/2 Camaro. That plan changed when I walked into the dealer’s showroom and saw that I could get a Z/28 for only $400 more. 😂 Life can be strange, right? 🎉 I love what you guys do! Keep the shiny side up! ❤ All the best!
Love how that engine fits in there. So roomy
Good job keeping keepin' on. I love the Atlas series stuff. But I love all your content. I've said it before about your mom being a gem. She is in the garage almost as much as you and your dad are. She loves you guys.
Been hoping someone would see the lark & u get It back.
Glad to see u keep moving forward on this ride
I can't wait to see how the camaro performs.
I was wondering if you have ever done anything with the 5 cylinder engine.
There are quite a few out there, the Chevy Colorado, H3 Hummer, etc.
It would be interesting to see what kind of reliable hp/torque you can get and still use as a daily driver.
Great to see you back. 🙏🤞u get you ride back
Thanks for the content. I’ve been looking forward to you getting back to some amount of normalcy after the last video.
Yep. Can't let it take over our lives. Onwards and upwards!
Good.luck brother and still praying for good results in the search for your belongings. Keep your head up push forward it will come full circle to the better for ya.
Eyes open in VA. Thanks for returning to the Atlas 4200. Best of luck on finding your truck/rig/Stude.
Slick install
Glad you are back to work.
Love this project.
So happy I found this channel! Currently going through my first LS engine swap and have been dreaming about an inline 6 build for the future. Might be getting out to the local junkyards soon. Awesome work man
Happy to see you screwing around with engines and cars.
Try to keep a clear mind and hope you never have to go thru another car thieving episode.
Best of wishes. 😊👍
Nice to see a new video. Gotta keep pushing forward 🫡
Great video. Nice to see you back at work 💪
Back at it 💪… glad you’re back making content and hope you get your stuff back dude.
Love the builds bud!
It’s good to see you back in the garage brother 🫡
Its great to see you and Mr. Nelson tackling another one together. May the Lord Jesus bless yall more than yall could even imagine. Chins up boys, we serve a great God.
The engine looks like it belongs in there. Very nice. 👍
Makes my day to see a new video! Badass guys.omg it's so clean under the hood.
Love the car content!! Hope you end up finding your car, calvin ❤!!
Glad to see you guy keepin on
Glad to see you back on UA-cam working on a project. You set a great example for everyone in the motorsport community. Nice work and thanks for the video
Thanks dude. You guys are great examples.too.
I like that you just get after it Calvin. Perseverance
I have a buddy in CMD as a GTA detective keeping tabs with the team in Florence. I need to follow up with him to see if he heard anything about your stuff. Glad to see you're keeping at it!
Appreciate anything you can do there to help. Thanks!
For such a small creator you do incredibly unique and interesting content with cars, im not even from the same part of the world and yet i still watch with intent. To say im proud of you for both your content and pushing on despite the unfortunate hand you've been dealth would be saying the least
Thanks! It's been a rough road lately, but we just have to ride it out.
That vortex fits like it was supposed to be an option (like the early Camaros got 6s)
Looking forward to seeing you make this you new halo car for the channel
Hope all the other car channels collaborate to get the eyes on the USA streets and car Comunity to draw in and help you find your car and things
I love your content. Thanks for keeping us updated
Cool stuff. Can’t wait to hear it rip.
Looks like you still have your drive and enthusiasm despite the devastating shit blow you took recently.
Yep. There's still a lot of pain, but can't let it slow us down.
I'm so Excited for this build! Got me an 06 TB 2wd and been thinking on boosting it After many important improvements.
I think the atlas in the Camaro is spot on it looks like it belongs there love the super clean engine compartment two thumbs up. I'm still upset what happened to you guys in Florence I hope you catch those guys. Keep thinking out of the box you guys are awesome
❤ this is my 5th watch over your video... totally inspiring and I formative. I am on the lookout, even here in Canada. You just gotta ask, is there any other more unique vehicle they could have stolen?
Great job on the Camero!!! My 56 2dr post will one day run a 4.2l (non stove bolt, lol).
Just got to keep pushing it forward, can't wait to see this thing at Sick Week
AWESOME!! nice work, the car looks great too. the red and yellow looks real good.
You need to paint the Stude that Camaro yellow! Best wishes for new and vintage projects
Love to see you continuing on with the builds considering the crap situation about the truck and trailer thanks for the content
