I don’t know about others, but I appreciate videos like this because I’ve been in similar situations several times. All too often people make projects look simple and straightforward when in reality there are always hiccups. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your real life experiences; it actually helps encourage me (and I’m sure others) to not give up on our piles of parts.
Pretty bummed to see yet another LS build. The zilla swap was really unique. Hope some shit gets figured out with them eventually bc I hate seeing issues with what should be a great motor
His f150 still full stock interior so U probably be algood for the back of the track AWD stuff and could put on a burnout contest while U in Florida make the trip a payday🤘
well then.....fair enough. Now I just gotta figure out a way to get it 2600 miles to the Freedom Factory. Maybe i should install a trailer hitch to carry all the 55 gal drums of methanol it will take to drive it there.
Zach, I totally respect you showing your missteps. On the bright side the shop is looking clean and sharp. Helps having a big tool box in there as well. It's all coming together brother
Thanks for the "radio voice voiceover". A lot of channels forget the UA-cam rule #1: audio is king! That's not just some jabroni saying - this is scientifically proven. A study showed that test subjects percieved videos with crap audio as lower quality - significantly more so than poor video quality. Now you know. 😎✌️
The 7.3 seems like a good motor but don’t think there is enough R&D for high power applications, but for anything under 900 I believe they are pretty reliable for what I have seen.
Real nice content 👍My man Zac , with the right stuff...and when ya do custom builds, just like what YOU are doing....💪.... it's always something 🚧🎬...GOODTIMES...❤...
I remember running into at born free last year and asking why you went with the Godzilla, sad it didn’t really pan out but I’m excited to see where you take this set up!🤘🏼
Like others have said, it's great to see your honest account of what it's like to make mistakes the hard way on a non cookie-cutter build. Loving the content. It's interesting, funny and a welcome change from the usual UA-cam fodder.
I was going to make a comment about how it felt a little low energy and that I really enjoy your "loud" personality but then you got to the section where you explained why there was so much voiceover lol
I love that you show your screw ups as well. It makes creators feel more human. We all screw up some times and you’re just like the rest of us chumps! 🤣 more authentic.
Bring both bell housing to a machine shop have the lip milled off and correct bolt holes drilled in the one that bolts to block I'm sure there is a machine shop somewhere close by to you that will do it for a reasonable price
Brother it's definitely different from the other videos you have done but it's cool it's different. Try a few more of these with the other content badass job bro
Anyone else hear Zach say "the bolt holes don't line up" and instinctually start singing Johnny Cash's "one piece at a time". The Psycho-Billy Tahoe....
Since your going LS7 heads are you going to go LS7 style oil pan with a dry sump setup? If you did you could get a beefy amount of oil. High revving and high boost I’d recommend vr1 full synthetic oil too lol
I wonder why dart would go to a 4 bolt main rather than the 6 bolt GM uses? I would assume the main caps would be stronger when braced by the sides of the block, with the 4 bolt, they are just kinda floating like a traditional old school sbc.
Yay completely custom projects! Haha.. the older(and admittedly more boring) I get, the more I appreciate simple bolt on mods, but hey, I'm 💯 down to watch you power thru Zack! 🤘🤘
Bit of a shame going to the tried true LS but gotta go with what works eh Please... would love to see this thing with a rear mount turbo/s ;) More so with the bonnet on looking clean and stealthy
Not gonna lie it would be sick to see that ol big block in the Tahoe but I get it the LS is basically plug and play and proven to handle all the boost.
Hey Mr. Zach, I’m down in SoCal visiting my family. I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning of the hoonigan days. Do you have any recommendations for a tuner in Orange County? I’m doing an ls swap on my ‘75 k10.
I actually started this build back in 2022. But because of Hoonigan's release schedule I had to keep quiet about it. So I basically got to watch his saga unfold as i was doing this. LOL
@@MISTERZACHARY hahaha. Damn. Anyways… love the content on the channel. Can’t wait to see where how this build turns out. Keep up the awesome work. And don’t forget to do it for Dale.
Hey Zach great vlog just a thought... could supy or gremis sorry I have no idea how to spell their names machine you a bell housing? Those two guys are crazy builders... just saying maybe a colab?
Damn that sucks lol. I know how much it costs to have a reid super 80 built and that’s a serious bill. Can build 3 powerglides probably close to same price
Zack love the content! I have a Speed UTV you need to need to give a spin! Hit me up gonna blow your mind!!!! Time for a Baja update on this machine that Robby Gordon states it was born in Baja!

Yep, good to see it happens to everyone
* Looks over at pile of parts *
I feel personally attacked right now. 😅
@@QBDLettucehad to come in and yeaaaa!
I feel that tooo! 94 civic in the yard
Let’s do this!
If it ain't one thing, it's twenty seven.
Nice to see humanity showing through on the velvet radio announcer voiced Zachery.
😎
Chopmaster Zach out here getting into the untapped market of "Engine Component ASMR" and I'm here for it. 🤣
NGL the voiceover was actually nice, you have the right voice for it and should do it more often.
My wife likes your voice too….
I could listen to Zach narrate engine builds every day and never get tired of it.
Fr. Let’s get him a better pop filter, move back from the mic a bit, and turn up the gain to get those nice deep tones. (Sound engineer here)
Pretty bummed to see yet another LS build. The zilla swap was really unique. Hope some shit gets figured out with them eventually bc I hate seeing issues with what should be a great motor
You should call it Waylon Evo since it's getting an evolution.
That would be gay
@@Fruitydookies Like happy!
Waylon gonna be out for Cleetus’s awd shoot out?🤔
Probably not. It’s still going to be a stock interior car with no cage. So it’s never going to be legal at any drag strip
His f150 still full stock interior so U probably be algood for the back of the track AWD stuff and could put on a burnout contest while U in Florida make the trip a payday🤘
@@MISTERZACHARYCleetus' F150 never had a cage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
well then.....fair enough. Now I just gotta figure out a way to get it 2600 miles to the Freedom Factory. Maybe i should install a trailer hitch to carry all the 55 gal drums of methanol it will take to drive it there.
@@MISTERZACHARY well ya could bring a 55gal drum packed with Columbian back with ya 😂 That'll buy you all the methanol you need
I like the voiceover. It adds an artistic element
You're killing it! Keep it up and you got the right voice for narration
Zach, I totally respect you showing your missteps. On the bright side the shop is looking clean and sharp. Helps having a big tool box in there as well. It's all coming together brother
Who caught the heads for Ruby sitting on the shelf with cleets name on them?😂💀

A study showed that test subjects percieved videos with crap audio as lower quality - significantly more so than poor video quality. Now you know. 😎✌️
I'm stoked on the new setup with the top shelf Dart LS Next Pro and Gearstar Pro 4L85e Level 4. Way to do it right by throwing down on good parts.👍
That warehouse of Texas Speeds is just horsepower heaven!! Thanks for the video, love the smooooth radio voiceover Mr Z!!
Good stuff zach! That's life and how you persevere shows and builds character good jobs
No lies, your art behind you is great.
Thank you for spoiling us and not making everyone wait till Thursday. Please keep doing this good sir, PLEASE! lol
The 7.3 seems like a good motor but don’t think there is enough R&D for high power applications, but for anything under 900 I believe they are pretty reliable for what I have seen.
Almost felt like I was watching mr rogers again with that voiceover
I do love the name of that truck. Keep up the great content. I dig your and Brads style of content.
Real nice content 👍My man Zac , with the right stuff...and when ya do custom builds, just like what YOU are doing....💪.... it's always something 🚧🎬...GOODTIMES...❤...
I love how technical this video is. Maybe not an be all end all engine building tutorial but very interesting non the less.
I remember running into at born free last year and asking why you went with the Godzilla, sad it didn’t really pan out but I’m excited to see where you take this set up!🤘🏼
Damn glad to see the proper heartbeat in ol Waylon! Raise hell praise Dale!
im feeling the VO style to be honest!
VO Vinny has spoken
Get this guy to 100K already!
I support this comment
Like others have said, it's great to see your honest account of what it's like to make mistakes the hard way on a non cookie-cutter build.
Loving the content. It's interesting, funny and a welcome change from the usual UA-cam fodder.
Zac and that lit 🔥 stripclub DJ voiceover hahaha 🤣 nice one mate 🤘
There’s a bit of Mike Patton in the way you breeze thru these vlogs Zac... very cool 😎👍
Maybe this heart transplant won't be rejected by the recipient 😂
Ok can I get an isolated voice over sent to me? This will be my new white noise to help me get to sleep 😂
I was going to make a comment about how it felt a little low energy and that I really enjoy your "loud" personality but then you got to the section where you explained why there was so much voiceover lol
Damn the transition of driving the vette to driving it🔥
Damn Zach these videos are top notch man.
I love that you show your screw ups as well. It makes creators feel more human. We all screw up some times and you’re just like the rest of us chumps! 🤣 more authentic.
Now this I gotta see. I can’t till we see Waylon ripping at track at some point
Damn I was hoping to see the progression of the ford powered chevy
Much luv from Alaska my friend!
I like the voice over. Clean Audio
Oh boy oh boy!! New video!!
Somehow intake valves keep getting bigger and bigger but that 1.6 exhaust valve has been around since the 60s and still working
Bring both bell housing to a machine shop have the lip milled off and correct bolt holes drilled in the one that bolts to block I'm sure there is a machine shop somewhere close by to you that will do it for a reasonable price
Looks like V8 heaven 😢😢😢 I’m so jealous ❤❤😂
Wisdom and knowledge are born from experience.
ur a legend bud, love the real life content
Good luck Zack !! 👍🏻😎🇺🇸🦅🙏😇
It’s nice to see you not ABSOLUTELY MAXX OUT microphones. Lovely voiceover.
Brother it's definitely different from the other videos you have done but it's cool it's different. Try a few more of these with the other content badass job bro
I loved the radio voice.
Glad to see we all aren't alone in backwards eureka moments
Anyone else hear Zach say "the bolt holes don't line up" and instinctually start singing Johnny Cash's "one piece at a time". The Psycho-Billy Tahoe....
You’re videos go hard
That's building something for ya, lol.
Everything really is bigger in Texas! 😮
Godzilla has been dethroned by an LQ69, nice.
Since your going LS7 heads are you going to go LS7 style oil pan with a dry sump setup? If you did you could get a beefy amount of oil. High revving and high boost I’d recommend vr1 full synthetic oil too lol
I will be doing an entire video on the dry sump system that is going on this. Its a proper set up.
great work on the voiceover...Gotta ask whats the white ring/racing stripe on the M18 impact?
2:23 same bro. Same.
I wonder why dart would go to a 4 bolt main rather than the 6 bolt GM uses? I would assume the main caps would be stronger when braced by the sides of the block, with the 4 bolt, they are just kinda floating like a traditional old school sbc.
Just stop by Texas...
hey while you're there...
Yay completely custom projects! Haha.. the older(and admittedly more boring) I get, the more I appreciate simple bolt on mods, but hey, I'm 💯 down to watch you power thru Zack! 🤘🤘
It happens to the best of us, I have forgotten about a small liltle VITAL detail that derails my plan too! 😂
Perhaps a company such as QuickTime could make a custom bell housing to fit the Ford adapter and the LS engine
Gotta love murica, 9 16th of an inch instead of just 14mm lmao
I would try a pop filter man, foam filter is already there but the P's and B's are still poppin, for the rest great video
The content we need
At your service
Bit of a shame going to the tried true LS but gotta go with what works eh
Please... would love to see this thing with a rear mount turbo/s ;)
More so with the bonnet on looking clean and stealthy
I swapped a L18 vortec in my tahoe with a set of aluminum heads and support mods and it makes around 600hp
Hell yeah my brother
if you want a good blower. might i suggest a whipple 8L supercharger? or you probably want something different like twin superchargers
Never watched hooligan but enjoy this channel
Not gonna lie it would be sick to see that ol big block in the Tahoe but I get it the LS is basically plug and play and proven to handle all the boost.
Is the transfer case a full-time awd or does it shift in and out of 4wd? If awd what's the part number on the trans and transfer case???
The T-case is just an NP208. they can take a surprising amount of abuse when they aren't used for off road applications. LOL.
I like the voice over radio voice
i need that big block for my jeep
Hey Mr. Zach, I’m down in SoCal visiting my family. I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning of the hoonigan days. Do you have any recommendations for a tuner in Orange County? I’m doing an ls swap on my ‘75 k10.
you could have talked to cleetus at the very beginning of this build and avoided the headache all together
I actually started this build back in 2022. But because of Hoonigan's release schedule I had to keep quiet about it. So I basically got to watch his saga unfold as i was doing this. LOL
@@MISTERZACHARY hahaha. Damn. Anyways… love the content on the channel. Can’t wait to see where how this build turns out. Keep up the awesome work. And don’t forget to do it for Dale.
We've all been there.
Freedom 500 burnout contest needs more 4x4 beasts.. just saying Zach. 😅
Did those kryptonite suspension upper control arms work out?? Seeing how you lowered it....
Yep. Nice and sturdy
@@MISTERZACHARY
Thanks for the reply...I'm getting ready too order a set for my 2 door😎👊🏻
Call me old school but I was hoping he was gonna put the big block in it lol.
So a godzilla fits but a big block the came stock is too tight?
Thank God you put it back bowtie
Not gonna lie, I was really excited for the Zilla build.
Hey Zach great vlog just a thought... could supy or gremis sorry I have no idea how to spell their names machine you a bell housing? Those two guys are crazy builders... just saying maybe a colab?
thats what you get putting a ford in a chevy ! lol cant wait for more shop work
Will the godzilla be coming back at any point
possibly. but likely in a different vehicle
Damn that sucks lol. I know how much it costs to have a reid super 80 built and that’s a serious bill. Can build 3 powerglides probably close to same price
the outro killed me
Technics Yeahhhzzzirrr
I'm legitimately considering for applying for Zack's assistant. 🤔
now accepting offers
Zack love the content! I have a Speed UTV you need to need to give a spin! Hit me up gonna blow your mind!!!! Time for a Baja update on this machine that Robby Gordon states it was born in Baja!
This video went up 15 likes while I was watching it on a Monday at 3:30pm 😂 why aren't y'all at work?
I’m from Russia)😊
I can get used to radio voice Zach
You're changing it cause the godzilla 7.3 is a dud.
💯🔥👍🏻
🔥🙌🙏
Will Ol' Waylon be HOA approved?
Absolutely not. Will post a video of me getting evicted once it’s finished
Send it to me! I can machine it! Seriously!
