Hey blackcarguru you should talk about the original Aluminum ZL-1 427 big block Chevrolet came out in 1969. Also You can still build an all aluminum chevy 427. An all Aluminum 496 stroker with a supercharger is Amazing.
An iron block LS actually weighs more than a big block. The LS is only lighter due to aluminum heads. Aluminum LS engines are obviously much lighter than both.
I used to work for a family that owned 3 grocery stores and they loved Drag Racing... They gad a Sonama and a 68 Chevelle... The Chevelle was 5.9 in the 1/4 and at that time the sonoma was a 6.3. I was close with the family they liked my torino. But after a wedding we was drinking at the shop, the 400 sbc was pulled out. (Sonomas engine) And it needed rebuilt So my ass sipping jack takes it apart, hones the block, instead of using that 400 sf crabk... I used the sf 265 crank, modified the oilers, used the dome top pistons, (truly i fucked compression) they had one turbo in the shop thry was going to put on the Chevelles big 496... I attached it to the sonama and set the engine back in it and Lonnie (Old figure head for the family had watched this from his TV said nothing for 5 hours. Came out as I'm putting it back in the truck. Says " we aren't telling anyone shit, we just going ro run ut at Huntsville tonight." It pulled a 5.8 in the 1/4 I told him, still needs better tuning. So we adjusted it Ronnie (oldest son, Donnie, and lynnie helped albeit upset that the turbo was used on that sonoma.) After we dailed it in as much as we could that night, best pull was 5.5(which we couldn't replicate that weekend) Track told them "You have to list that as promod." But i was watching a civic with a 3 turbo setup stomp promods skinnies on the back and krinkles on the front. I was saying "We'll go to Steele from now on" that honda was pulling alwicked numbers .. had his computer set to stages... Sound like a weed eater at line up then, jeystroke and if is chopping more than a master chef on meth and behind on minced Onion. Daytona is where we made money on that Sonoma... It made my ass enough money to buy and build the firebird i had outside the Torino... I can work BBC(Big Block Chevy, get ya minds out the gutter) but a lot can ve done with a LS and cheaper. Don't sleep on the LT 90's engines either, once you fix the optispark you can crank out numbers. And if you run a NA BIg Block or NA small block, you can get a efi sniper to adjust fuel better. (750 cfm or bigger) Never want to rebuild a quadrajet again though... Things have gotten simpler over the years... But where i find old is better than new is Ford Modular (Cost point) 351w bored to 427 using a sf 289 crank, dome top pistons and running a turbo, with a 850 cfm (sniper attached) on a dual plane intake will cost less and beat modular ford engines. But this is based on price... If you got money to burn and want that modular do so, but at price point 351w will cost less be more efficient
Yessir! Big Blocks make crazy torque. It’ll sling a 7000lb vehicle around like a rag doll. Can’t knock the LS it’s good for what it is but it doesn’t have the cool factor like a big block the deeper sound the rumble, etc.
@just_2swift just curious, what you are running with it. Just a fan of the engine. I have it now in my 07 lucerne, and I used to have it on my 02 grand prix gt. The engine performs wonderfully.
LS loses in affordability too.. you gotta buy computers and wires and that’s swap gonna come out to way more with that build than just building the 454
Chevy big blocks leak oil like a mf and tolerances aren't that good unless you blueprint it. Fuel injected LS wins in hp per cube. No way to put it any other way. 2 NA engines, one big block, one LS, if they have the same displacement, LS walks all day.

What??
Iron vortec /LS are two pounds heavier. True !
And if it’s iron block it’s not a TRUE LS🤷🏾♂️

I love this comment it’s super informative. Thank you for your great stories of building engines and drag racing.🫶🏻🤘🏼
Your videos are educational and hilarious and true Facts 😊
Can you do a video with your opinion on honed vs polished
Bro u gone blowni been rockn w yu since youtube shorts #$alute #respect

❤😂 spray some dope innit! Lmfao
Please tell me what you think about the zz632
Right away after this vid I went to some 454 cold starts 😭😭goosebumps everytime
Well, I got a Gen5 454 and a Gen3 60LQ9 witch one should I b uild for my 86 GMC geewiz lol
Horsepower.. top end
Torque… bottom end
Depends on how you wanna leave the line..and if you dragging or on the highway
LS’s are cool But I’m team big block all day my procharged big blocks walks hellcats gtrs beemers Benzos ESPECIALLY when it hooks
I gotta say, I do love 500hp in a bolt on C6 LS3 that still gets 30mpg on the highway though
6 Bolt mains in a LS Iron block party over people. Unless you buy the chevy 632 Cubic inch, its a combo of LS and big block power !
Only thing LS beat is the weight and size and price for the smaller engines
Maaaane torque is better than horsepower honestly. Gliding and sliding in 1st/2nd too much fun.
Big block all day
Small block 350 ftw
460 BIG Block, Fuck YOUR World.
What about the 3.8 series 2 engine for us v6
Definitely an yes 2 cylinders less but sc or turbo you’ll party down with the v8s
@@Coronet_shop might opt for turbo. Which do you recommend?
@just_2swift just curious, what you are running with it. Just a fan of the engine. I have it now in my 07 lucerne, and I used to have it on my 02 grand prix gt. The engine performs wonderfully.
@@just_2swift zzp performance turbo
@@just_2swift but if you’re itching for some fun look into speedway motors turbos some are on sale and 45-60 mm turbo
Big blocks rules
Spray some dope in it lol
Is he saying torque or twerk? Somebody tell me😆. Either way, it’s super cool
LS loses in affordability too.. you gotta buy computers and wires and that’s swap gonna come out to way more with that build than just building the 454
Where are you finding a fully built Big block for 10 grand at let me know
My uncle call evry heavy women he sees a big Block 😂😂
6.0L boosted LS & be done with it 😂
LS 4cylinder
I think it depends on what your doing and your budgey
Ol bigbloc..
Salute, black car guru. Question, is the Mopar 6.4 the. New LS in your opinion???
🤣
😭
Yall laugh 😃 but the reason I'm saying is the availability of used ones, the application truck and car used in and the ability to supercharge.
@@smartphones4cheap940 the 6.4 is one of the worst mopar engines for boost, idk what you’re on ma boi
Toyota made a 283 that weighed a thousands pounds lol
I don't care what the LS Fanboys have to say about it, but there is no replacement for displacement.
LS Kangz
