OK. Now we’ve waited two or three years for this. You’ve done a superb job of building the suspense, let’s get rolling. Can we have the engine built by, let’s say, Friday of next week?
Bro you done did the damn thing! Built my dream LS and then went way over that! Thanks for the details! Don't worry I find this super interesting. I am not any sort of competition but this stuff is hard to research. This video is exactly why if I do end up doing a build I am going to you. My Callie's crank boost line rods and AFR heads Sonny's crank and unobtainium rods and some heads and intake I never heard.
Me at 74 you have covered it very well. This video will be the go to for someone who is thinking of even building a street hot rod engine. Great job! Best of luck and stay safe too. M
I usually hate watching videos where dudes just talk but I watched this from start to finish. Got me excited about this build and I learned a few things here. Great video. Subscribed.
Hello young man I know you are young in this type of work but I want to congratulate you because you are one of the first people that made the correct choice on your rod and piston combination I see so many people all consumed with how long the connecting rod is when in fact what they should be consumed with is piston stability because that is far more important. Also us Old-Timers in the the business we don't call them hoops we call them o-rings It's called o-ringing with a receiver groove and that was an excellent choice for this application Anyways congratulations and good luck with your future endeavors. Getting compliments from professional engine builders like myself are hard to come by most of the time they won't say anything but I really appreciate young people coming up in this type of work and trying to make something of themselves If I can ever help you with advice just send me a message but looks like you're on your way to a successful future. BTW I might have ran a little different camshaft but we'll see after you test it. Good luck from Brian @ Salter Racing Engines.
I have been watching your videos for the last two years. You are doing incredible work here which I am excited to eventually see at the mile. You are the reason I heard about the Texas Mile and why my brother and I raced there this past March. We are also going to be back in October targeting 180 in my NA 5th gen Camaro.
This engine is about to be a game changer for the mile stuff you been running!!! Incredible all the parts you have going into this build. BES is local to me they make some bad ass go fast parts!
Actually really excited to see this thing built. Nice work! Your channel has made doing engines at Toyota more fun and interesting. Tomorrow i start tearing down a Camry flood damaged engine and replace the short block.
I want this guy building my next motor after my ls1 stock bottom end 450rwhp N/A blows up. This guy knows what hes doing. I hope in the near future you can build me 700-800hp N/A ls motor if thats even possible N/A lol. A reliable weekend warrior build that i can take to the grocery store.
I just saw the preview of the video saying "3000HP and more important 9500RPM" and i just couldn't resist haha, just going to see the part 2 and wait for the rest. I really started to appreciate and believe that is possible to build High RPM cross plane v8 engines bro, so this videos are a pleasure to watch and learn. Keep the job going!
many ways to make a 2,000+ LS stay together for a very long time. Nelson Racing Engines has been shipping 2500 HP LS engines out their doors for like 8 years now...total daily driver engines. You can drive across country with them. With 2 yr/24,000 mile warranties if you don't change their tune. A couple guys here in Lauderdale have them.....they're like 5+ years old and driven every weekend and roll raced weekly. No issues yet. You just have to figure out the secret recipe for success. ------ But being able to built it yourself is AWESOME....... I just built my first 390ci 6.0L iron LS with the guidance every second of the way from an LS guru builder teaching me. Its a pretty rewarding feeling.
5:00 I am not a pro. But I thought all LS blocks had six bolt caps. I only see four bolts on those. I thought the LS motor had the block skirt come down farther and crossbolt from the sides as well
I didn’t look to see if anyone else mentioned it but why go with a reluctor wheel rather than an externally mounted crank trigger type ignition system like most higher power engines. You said it yourself it opens up the possibilities into the ignition system
Only "Surprise" (other than wrist pin retainers) is the skirt-less 4 bolt block. Obviously you have done your homework but, your not worried about block twist? Cool build, looking forward to seeing the rest of this build. Cheers!
Beautiful, Sick build. I am green with envy, as are most others watching this. You definitely never took any shortcuts in terms of the parts list. Can't wait to see your car run once again.
I need to play the lottery more often, when he asked at the end of his video how much it costs to build an engine like his, I looked at the table and 40 grand came to mind and when he said $40,000 I knew I needed to buy lottery tickets this weekend.. I will watch every video in this series as I am a hp junky and am like sponge when it comes to eng building knowledge.. Great video, keep em coming. Cant wait to hear it run. I do have 1 question, I always thought one needed to know head flow before choosing a camshaft. Correct me if I'm wrong..
I do top fuel hoops on my kitchen table. There is a $2600 tool that makes it easy. I think its made by BHJ. I order the hoops from Visner Racing. I pretty much top fuel hoop everything I build for boost. And you want to use Hylomar as a sealant on copper gaskets according to Clark Gaskets.
Not to criticize Steve makes his blocks and heads Steve does use aftermarket parts and the outside venders already know the proper rods etc witch is there experience noted. Always use others experience no guess work. But. He is going in the right direction CANT wait. For next post
Steve knows a cast block at 3000 horsepower isn’t going to work. Nobody uses steel H beam rods over 1000 horsepower. Nobody in the boosted world uses Comp Cams anything. They don’t use belt drives either. Good luck.
The problem is hotroding is over pretty much. The epa is gonna stop all of it. They are already fining shops for doing anything aftermarket. It sucks and pisses me off.
@@wilsonjohn9766 there’s plenty of very high horsepower engines using Jesel belt drive setups. As far as comp cams, there’s countless 2000+ hp coyotes using comp cams lol
How in the world can I be friends with you. Absolutely insane territory here buddy. Love the video the only thing that you left out was the damage to year bank account, which is extremely important to us living vicariously through you.the belt drive camshaft change ability. The whole electronic versatility/control ability is so awesome. It is amazing how far this shit has come.
So just to give y’all some context, those aren’t top fuel hoops they are called flame hoops, or referenced as o-ringing the block and head. Also he isn’t running a Cleveland design crankshaft he is running a ls crankshaft designed with Cleveland main sizes. Changing main and rod journal sizes has been done for ages. The crank was not machined on the outer surface of the bobs, it is side drilled instead of end drilled for weights. That cam with a 116 lobe separation will make grunt down low but it gonna not be good up top. That cast iron block is not going to last at his projected rpm and hp levels the harmonics are going to destroy it with cracks. At the power levels and rpm he is planning on and also planning on methanol he should be running aluminum rods they help cushion combustion blows and harmonics in the crank, and are more forgiving than steel rods when pushed to the limit. He talks about long engine life but runs wrist pin buttons on what is going to be a drag and drive motor. Wants to spin the motor to 9500 but runs link bar lifters and not keyed lifters to increase valve train weight. Could this make 3,000 hp at 9500 yeah I can make 2000 out of a stock 6.0 ls with enough fuel and air from a giant turbo for a dyno run then pick up all the pieces after which is what I think he is going to be doing.
Cast iron is not as malleable as aluminum: He probably has a point. Those are insane rpms for a V engine for the non dragster folk...but it seems like he had a lot of good tech support with the parts hopefully. Definitely not a daily
As far as copper gaskets: that will create electrolysis in contact with cast iron, or any dissimilar metal. Not a big deal to the top fuel techs because they rebuild the engine after less than a bakers dozen of runs.
Welp… gotta subscribe now 🤷🏻♂️. Definitely wanna see how this ends up. Thank you so much for sharing this and I definitely hope you achieve your goals sir. Looking forward to the next video
the counterweights should be knife edged away from the rod side in order to direct oil towards the main journal side, otherwise you have oil flying into the fast moving rods and rod journal which can cause drag as well
This is the belief among most crankshaft manufacturers and its always made sense to me. On the other hand Bryant is in the top 5 or so best aftermarket crank manufacturers and they are close, maybe the top of that list so I'm sure they have a reason for centering the leading edge, maybe its application dependent or something about crankcase ventilation or vacuum. I've seen Bryant cranks with the leading knife edge toward the rod journal with the following edge away. The crank here in this video is an absolutely beautiful piece, awesome combo. Only thing I might have done different is put some aluminum on those rod journals. Most guys I know making north of 2000hp usually end up with aluminum rods.
Side loading with short rods offset any by the tall skirts? Also, formula 1 guys found power in burning oil in the combustion process to the extent that the FIA issued a rule limiting oil consumption per race I believe.
Wow! So much looking forward to following the rest of this story. I assume there will be other 'upgrades' to the drivetrain and chassis that you'll share with your YT community. I've learned so much about engines from following your content and can't wait to soak up even more in the future. Keep up the great work Jacob!
I thought the skirted block with 6 bolt main caps was part of why stock LS blocks are as strong as they are. Why would Dart change that to a 4 bolt, non-skirted design? Obviously if it can hold 3000 HP it works, but I'm curious what the thinking was...
I was originally going aluminum rod, but CP-Carrillo talked me out of it for land speed type engines. They said aluminum rods would not handle the high rpm for the long time intervals of a land speed combination.
@@JacobVillemain that would be true. Our modified pulling truck was chipped at 8200 rpm’s and we replace them every 25 pulls due to stretch. At 18 to 1 compression, our gas ports would leave impressions on the heads. Nice build. I can’t wait.
I've always wondered why they don't use pressed in needle bearings on the the main journals of the of the cam like the 410 outlaw engine. Why wouldn't split needle bearings work on the con rods on the crank & caged needle bearings on the wrist pins. I would want my engine to be completely rollerized. Has anyone ever made a cam & crank where 2 cylinders fire at the same time. Like the front cylinder on the right side & the rear cylinder in the left, or what ever pistons are top dead center at the same with a normal crankshaft.
I noticed you chose a gas ported piston but not a gas ported top ring. Any thoughts on that? What did total seal say about a gas ported tool steel top ring? I would have strongly considered a gas ported top ring, but then again, I’m no engine builder. Just curious! Great vid BTW!
I hope the rods hold up I had to go with mgp aluminum rods after a certain horsepower and that much boost steel rods like to exit the chat lol that’s a badass engine though sir have fun with it be safe.
Jam up engine for sure. Could you do a video talking about life expectancy for forged LS bottom ends vs stock? I’m building a 5.3 for my drag car and want to forge it but I’m curious what you think about extra wear and tear on components
I have tons and tons of experience with Jesel lifters. If I were building this great engine, he would send them back and get the needles installed just saying.
Could you give me the height measurement from the valley cover to the top of that intake elbow? I've got that intake and elbow on order, need to know how far it's gonna stick out the hood.
Total costs on this type power will easily morph into 6 figures before it's ready for vehicle runs. Costs to develop the vehicle will be in the same range.
OK. Now we’ve waited two or three years for this. You’ve done a superb job of building the suspense, let’s get rolling. Can we have the engine built by, let’s say, Friday of next week?

Thats going to be a sick build, cant wait to see the final result.
This looks like it will be one hell of a bullet. Looking forward to this build series.
I bought a 540i e39 last May and have seriously narrowed it down to an LS swap based on your detailed videos. Amazing content!
its going to be cool to watch this come together
Thank you!
Hell yeah Denmah!
Hello young man I know you are young in this type of work but I want to congratulate you because you are one of the first people that made the correct choice on your rod and piston combination
I see so many people all consumed with how long the connecting rod is when in fact what they should be consumed with is piston stability because that is far more important.
Also us Old-Timers in the the business we don't call them hoops we call them o-rings
It's called o-ringing with a receiver groove and that was an excellent choice for this application
Anyways congratulations and good luck with your future endeavors.

They don't build engines, they assemble them. He openly admits they lack the infrastructure to build. Good luck.
Just so you know brother we enjoy tne lengthy videos! Keep up up the solid videos and builds brother
cant wait to hear this thing ripping and flying by at the mile events! Gonna sounds absolutely heavenly.
Truly appreciate you doing this deep dive and sharing everything!
5:00 I am not a pro. But I thought all LS blocks had six bolt caps. I only see four bolts on those. I thought the LS motor had the block skirt come down farther and crossbolt from the sides as well
Stock blocks do. This block has splayed cap bolts. Way stronger
Just absolutely amazing. Can't wait.
Definitely following you. I would love to build one of these motors for my car as a dragon drive motor. Very exciting build thank you for doing this.
Appreciate you showing all your work.
I was surprised you went with a non-skirted block, that’s one of the best parts about LS.
Badass engine brother I can’t wait to hear it run👌🏼
Great episode. Looking forward to seeing the next one.
I’ll use your tech info for when I build my LS. Thanks and support from Victor Harbour 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Very nice engine the best of best. Looking forward to seeing and hearing it perform. Thank you for sharing this build.
Thats awesome I'm drooling right now and happy for you man...God bless you
Heavy rotating assembly but should hold up really well can't wait to see it done bad ass man

great video for newbi engine builders
This is amazing im here for you bro! 🤘🤘🤘
cant wait to watch the build and the test!
Those heads remind me of big block ford design in a LS head.
Definitely following this build,, get this guy to build my next c5 zo6 engine. Wonder what the cost of this build is going to be 🤔
Awesome to see this happening!
Incredible! Keep this content coming plz.....
Don't let your wife see how you caress those parts.... fantastic video!!! All the details thank you!!!
what kinda ecu system you looking into controlling this beef cake of a motor?
I raced Sunny Bryant the crankshaft builder in Pro Stock in the mid and late 70's. Sunny passed away around a year ago from covid.
What’s the purpose of having a knife edge crankshaft to cut thru oil, when your running a dry sump oil system?
Why didn’t you use the olds 455 main journal size for overlap? Is it too large for a non skirted block?
I thought the skirted block with 6 bolt main caps was part of why stock LS blocks are as strong as they are. Why would Dart change that to a 4 bolt, non-skirted design? Obviously if it can hold 3000 HP it works, but I'm curious what the thinking was...
Awesome you are a local dude (I am in Spring Branch).
Lokking forward on seeing a Dyno video N/A then turbo!
David Vizard taught me I could do my crank like that with a belt sander
Amazing, would love to see the end results.
I’m looking forward to this series. I want a 2k hp LS engine so it’ll be nice to see what it takes exactly.
I'm surprised you went with steel rods and not aluminum! Excited for updates!
I was originally going aluminum rod, but CP-Carrillo talked me out of it for land speed type engines. They said aluminum rods would not handle the high rpm for the long time intervals of a land speed combination.
@@JacobVillemain that would be true. Our modified pulling truck was chipped at 8200 rpm’s and we replace them every 25 pulls due to stretch. At 18 to 1 compression, our gas ports would leave impressions on the heads. Nice build. I can’t wait.
Nice , will you be using screw in freeze plugs to help with block stability in the upper rpm range
When will you spec the Turbo System and make a video?
I've always wondered why they don't use pressed in needle bearings on the the main journals of the of the cam like the 410 outlaw engine. Why wouldn't split needle bearings work on the con rods on the crank & caged needle bearings on the wrist pins. I would want my engine to be completely rollerized. Has anyone ever made a cam & crank where 2 cylinders fire at the same time. Like the front cylinder on the right side & the rear cylinder in the left, or what ever pistons are top dead center at the same with a normal crankshaft.
With all the money involved wouldn't it just be better to get a noonan billet LS engine ready to go
3000 with cast iron and h-beams? I like your confidence.
Very Nice Brother! Please beat those gtrs lamb's vipers and anything else! Thanks
TOP OF THE LINE BRO !!

I was thinking the same thing.
Can we build the forever LS a Million Mile Motor B4 rebuild cheap for the 9 to 5 family
I put together an lm7. After everything was put together the engine is fairly hard to turn over by hand. Is that normal?
Receiver grooves? Nice crank from neighbors
Yes, the block has received grooves.
I hope the rods hold up I had to go with mgp aluminum rods after a certain horsepower and that much boost steel rods like to exit the chat lol that’s a badass engine though sir have fun with it be safe.
CP-Carrillo said they would not run aluminum rods in a land speed engine. Being 8,000rpm+ for over 25 seconds would not be healthy with aluminum rods.
@@JacobVillemainwas thinking same maybe 1/4 mile not land speed
Jam up engine for sure. Could you do a video talking about life expectancy for forged LS bottom ends vs stock? I’m building a 5.3 for my drag car and want to forge it but I’m curious what you think about extra wear and tear on components
Good question. Like could you daily drive it for 300k miles?
I have tons and tons of experience with Jesel lifters. If I were building this great engine, he would send them back and get the needles installed just saying.
And one spun bearing seizes it grenades sending all those tiny pieces of one off parts every where. Right back to 481x we go!
😂 He said "I'm gonna go super in debt", I think he meant to say "in-depth" but subconsciously he knows what's about to happen
That’s really funny, I didn’t even catch that! 😂
I mean both statements are correct. lol
Freudian slip.
Saved it in my favorite videos 🤙
You left out the push rods. 1/2" ?
Could you give me the height measurement from the valley cover to the top of that intake elbow? I've got that intake and elbow on order, need to know how far it's gonna stick out the hood.
When do we see it in the car?
First 👍's up EG thank you for sharing 😊
