@@RebelGarage508what would you recommend doing to the motor? I have a 2014 Camaro it used to be twin turbo but I have no idea what was in the motor from the old owner. But now I am switching to big single turbo. Would u recommend just doing a full tear down?
I’ve had my engine out for a few months and just installed it back in the car only issue is I forgot how a lot of the harness was routed so this video will be great for me as you have the engine in tact so I can refrence the routing of accessories and wiring. Thank you for this post
Planning on doing the l99 to ls3 swap and stepping up the cam on mine. You think anything making over 500hp on these transmissions calls for a new torque converter?
I had a BTR STAGE 4. LIFTER GAVE OUT PUT 40 THOUSAND MILES MY VALVE COVER HAD A LOT OF BLACK GUNK AND HEADS AS WELL. COME TO KNOW MY ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL TO MY HEADS
i have a 14 l99. i appreciate you doing this there’s not too many people who show love or even upload videos about the l99s.
Thanks for that! I figured if it could help others, ill keep posting.
Doesn’t the LS3 and the L99 use different pistons and cranks?
The pistons have reliefs for the heavier valves on the l99 which decreases the compression ratio. Im not sure about the crank, I assume its the same.

That is awesome and exactly my motivation for making these videos, to help others! Good luck with your build!
Nice I had a question my crank sensor touched the header and oh well. Now do I need to order the whole HARNESS TO AVOID ISSUES ??
Depends on the damage. If its just the connector that got damaged id just replace that.

Converter depends on cam needs and practical use.
