Its not that bad tbh 1 week at a body shop skin the rear quarter, he has a door and fix a few brackets, I believe he has a donor car already. Longest most time consuming is replacing the rear quarter panel been doing body work for 25 years and do it right 2 days of welding and panel bond
So basically if you have the money and big horsepower dreams and your buying a custom ls block and heads from steve, you should just let him build your engine. Yes, you could talk to another engine builder about a custom clevland main crankshaft and odd ball cam bearing dementions but you might as well let him spec it completely. At least from what we see on his UA-cam channel is that he goes above and beyond for his customers
That's no entirely how it works. There are engine guys out there there will be perfectly capable of speccing the parts for an SML. The crank is a total non-issue. Bryant, Callies, Crower or Winberg. They can make those easy. There's nothing new about LS cranks with Cleveland mains. Cams? Steve can spec a cam for what he does, another builder can spec a cam for what he does. This is no different than when Steve is asked to build a Noonan or 481X engine etc. And lastly, if you have a top notch builder you have used for years who knows your car and your racing, he might be the best guy to set up the combination if he has been successful in the past. He may just be able to get you going sooner if his back log is shorter. You can be 100% sure that Steve is aware that there are other talented guys out there who can get the SML to perform.
When ur engine builder takes time off work specifically to meet you at the track and make sure everything is on the up and up,yes he is very involved and goes above and beyond for his customers/friends. Tom bailey,Mr Clark, Cleet,ned, and I forget the one guys name who built his engine side by side with Steve but yeah,he's definitely a good person to have in your corner weather you have a guy who knows your car or not and considering the money that can be won during the life of a Morris engine,I think it's well worth the coin to make sure it's %100 every pass.
Thank you Steve, Kyle, & everyone at Steve Morris Engines for the amazing plug! We are truly grateful & humbled. Now who wants to see a SMX with one of our new Performance Engine Fueling Innovations, LLC 8" 36X-1 "Flyin' Iron" High-Resolution Composite Ultralight Crank Trigger wheels making 4500+HP?!...We know we do. :)
It's pretty cool to see family's doing drag and drive events together. It's really cool to see what and how you build everything. Thanks for the entertainment and the education.
Fun fact @SteveMorrisEngines , I've been using 12-1 Crank Trigger wheels (w/OEM magnetic sensor) on my Holley EFI motorcycle tunes for years. The issue we do have is Holley doesn't play well with the OEM 24-2 wheel (which is less than 3" diameter) = it consistently looses sync above 9,200 RPM (on engines that need to rev from 10,800 to 12,000+) so we simply cut half of the teeth off of the OEM 24-2 wheel. And another fun fact, I started tuning Holley on Drag Bikes 12+ years ago when the only option/setting Holley had that we could use was "1 pules/fire" (2-teeth) and that actually worked really well on bikes that ran mid to low 7s 1/4 mile (and a Methanol Turbo 3-wheel *Sand Dragster* ) that ran 300Ft in 3-seconds.
Anyone whit a brain now's both the SML and the SMX are genuinely thought thrue solutions to factory weaknesses when racing these platforms 👌 I am amazed by people that comes up whit there own solution to weaknesses in factory engine platforms and build and engineers ther own solution 👌 Awsome Job Steve Morris Engine!
Man, I can't WAIT until additive manufacturing truly makes it into mainstream motorsports... The things that can be produced will be WILD! On top of the ease of rapid prototyping and faster iterative design changes, imagine the GEOMETRIES that could be made! No more being limited by having to design around allowing for tooling and machining... Imagine thr wild port designs you could come up with and make a reality. Heck, imagine a SMX that doesn't need side plates to cover the water passages. The possibilities are ENDLESS- not to mention being able to cut a HUGE weight out of parts without compromising strength by being able to print reinforcing structures in some places and leaving voids in others, based on stress and tensile testing the model via software... Look at Czinger's newest supercar, or the 'Hackrod'- generative AI design, in Czinger's case, coupled with additive manifacturing. Aerospace jumped on this bandwagon about a decade ago, and the new stuff coming out is ASTOUNDING- completely AI-designed and printed aerospikes, wing support structures, you name it. I can't wait!
Blown head gaskets in your standard ls block with boost=best way to save on rods and crank costs and as a side benefit you'll likely change the bearings more regularly (decking time)
I always like sped caps. I remember back in the 90s there was a shop in Seattle Washington called Fosters machine and some of the customers would have sprayed caps put in and I would torque them down with the two studs and then drill the holes out for the spade bolts and we used manly caps never had any problem, but it makes me feel good to know that displayed caps set up is better than for straight up and downstuds although the four studs I’m sure quite strong also but anyway, you guys do some beautiful work without a doubt all right Gus Foster if you read this, you’re a cool dude you and Jerry Ruth
Another great video, you ask at the end what you would like to see more of. I think more troubleshooting on the dyno would be good. As a person who has used a dyno over the years many times, we all know there is a large amount of troubleshooting or asking "why" this or that is going on. I know in some cases it is a smooth dyno run but other cases are not. Hope that helps give you ideas for content.
You are my hero ,!!!! What you have created will dominate the big ticket car runner will go your way. Seem a lot of people go with hemi style.heads will the future see a SM HEMI
Awesome content as always, love the dyno work, engine assembly, machining the whole show. Can't wait to see both Kyle's car and the Wagon progress to come.
The way you share information. I can tell how much exp you have in this field. You know it second nature. I would love to just hang around the shop a week :) Wish I would have seen this before I spent 16K on my ls427 Texas Speed sleeved engine complete with even computer and harness. Its awesome, 615hp engine that I thought was top of the line. This is way beyond that but I bet way more too.

I enjoy all your videos from tech to the drag&drive videos with track pass and track time. Keep it going look forward to seeing the next video from the SM creaw.
Can’t wait to see some SML’s in action. I also like the idea of buying just the block and heads and building my own. My truck intake is probably going to look out of place on it though. Budget SML😂
the oil used, the coatings on the bearings and pistons, the design of the engine, it all played in to surviving that level of abuse with minimal damage.
Nice to see Kyle supporting a UK company with his Topspeed Automotive hoodie! Literally live 5 miles from there Wellingborough location here in England! Keep up the good work guys!
I would be really interested in a Steve Tech video explaining boost vs RPM. I’m aware that low RPM and high boost breaks parts, but I would really like to learn the why. I’ve tried reading online, but can’t find any good explanations. Since Steve has a real talent for explaining the fundamentals of how engines work, I think he could really help explain why low RPM and high boost breaks stuff. Really enjoy all the content.
its about the duration of the high pressure event. at low rpm the peak compression pressure acts on the cylinder for a longer time. at high rpm the event is much quicker. both events produce the same power over the same degrees of rotation. High Performance Academy has a comprehensive explanation video
The thing that flipped my switch about power adders was the day I learned the relation to HP, torque and RPM in nitrous applications and the advent of progressive controllers. Let’s say you have a fixed 100 HP shot and spray it at 4000 RPM. You may net +100 HP and lets just say 300 Lb ft but if you spray it at 1500 RPM you net the same +100 HP but torque will be substantially higher.
That would be an interesting video to get his take. Peak cylinder pressure usually occurs at peak TQ and when you have high boost, heavy load and peak cylinder pressure something will try to give. Imagine riding a bicycle in a really tall gear at say 5mph up a hill and having to push all your might into that crank that barley wants to move vs using a shorter gear still doing 5mph but spinning that crank. Think about the different loads on the bike crank even though you're maintaining 5mph and which scenario would you expect a weak crank or chain to break first.
@RedmistAU horsepower is the best and only real measure of how an engine will power your vehicle. With the right gear ratios horsepower over percentage of rpm range is all that really matters. Compare an engine making 2000ft-lbs of torque at 1200 rpm to one making 600ft-lbs at 12,000 rpm. Run the 12,000 rpm engine through a 10:1 gearbox and that 600ft-lbs turns into 6000ft-lbs at 1200rpm. I agree that most dynos measure torque and rpm and need to calculate horsepower, but not all. Some older style dynos measures hp directly.
I can answer your riddle Steve. There will always be the "participant" that finds a greater joy in winning the flow number race, verses winning the actual race itself.

OMG! Steve was Wrong! I cannot believe that! Okay, I can. Great video. Got to see that even if engines are the same, no matter how you build them, they are different. Thanks for the invite to your dyno room Steve. Good Job Kyle! Now maybe we can see some Coyote Monster engine builds! HA HA.
Kinda want to see more nitty gritty. Get into the ins and outs of engine building. Best practices, boost recommendations and practices. Manufacturers of parts companies you recommend, especially for things like pistons and rods. Then, of course, y'all racing to prove it all works. :)
Growing up, my dad pointed out to me the Chevy's where the only heads held down with FIVE HEAD BOLTS Around the Cylinder? Pointing out More having more bolts around the cylinder was important?
I kinda wonder if that super secret squirrel customer they couldn't talk about was probably Cleetus for Leroy. Revealing the new body and an SML at the same time would be rad.
@@mikescherrer4923 No. There have been lots of people over the years who wished to keep quiet about their engines. Some just wants to remain anonymous for the sake of privacy, and others have been grudge racers etc. Leroy cannot run an SML in his class, so that's a no-go. You can be pretty sure that this engine is not for Garrett Mitchell.
All the time and gobs of money into these builds that keep failing and struggle to get into 7s when you have nearly stock coyote build getting into the 6s reliably.
Texas Speed makes one, Cleetus had it in Jimmy’s Oreo Car and they blew it up. Right now it looks like he has his hands more than full with SMLs and SMXs in various configurations. I don’t see one coming unless Kyle wants to put one in his Mustang.
Why not a Toyota, or a Ferrari engine and possibly a Godzilla ? Naw .. none of the above he has his shop full of LS based equipment doing real fine..! Ever heard of a LS swap ? 🥳😱🏁
Ok! That is awesome! Love the idea, setup,power,build. I mean if you’re going to do a monster like this you are the guy to call for sure no doubt about it. I know! If you have to ask the price you can’t afford it. BUT! ! I have to know. Just wondering how much is one of those killer motors? Being this old now would like to know if I could even dream of having a killer motor like this. Thank you for your time and love your stuff.
Shop content, this was an all around shop vids. Lot of info and dyno pulls can never go wrong. Dragging content, lets see some solid 8.50 and a 5 this year, especially since the wagon was mostly cosmetic-unbelievably so.
I don't know how many you currently do, but I'd love to see more of the screw blower stuff like, Whipple, Kenne Bell and Magnuson. I have a soft spot for those engines.
be interesting to put a smoke machine in front of the engine - i wonder if the two turbos are fighting over the same piece of air because they face each other?
I like the interaction between you guys. Kyle caught Dad off guard with the "engine broke" joke.
The thought and the precision and the determination to make these engines live is pure love of this sport !!!!!!!!
I truly love the passion Morris family has for their product 😇
You don't have to worry about a Steve Morris engine, you just have to worry about the transmission and rear end holding up!

3 runs without oil-pressure. still scratching my head.... THAT'S maybe a quality indicator
Yeah, it does sort of indicate that the term "Bullet Proof" is entirely valid.
We need to know what kind of oil that was 😂
Bearings were coated by same company that coated Steve’s pistons.
Rev ex oil he uses I called him and asked about it and he said it surely did help him and it surely did show us just saying

All the time and gobs of money into these builds that keep failing and struggle to get into 7s when you have nearly stock coyote build getting into the 6s reliably.
Watching Steve pet his baby's, he loves his creations.
3000hp that lives is impressive. This is my favourite UA-cam channel. Rex in NZ.
I really liked the episode with the Boss welder. Js
Steve and Kyle, y'all rock! Love the info. Peace
I'm waiting on a SMG...Steve Morris Godzilla.
Texas Speed makes one, Cleetus had it in Jimmy’s Oreo Car and they blew it up. Right now it looks like he has his hands more than full with SMLs and SMXs in various configurations. I don’t see one coming unless Kyle wants to put one in his Mustang.
Why not a Toyota, or a Ferrari engine and possibly a Godzilla ? Naw .. none of the above he has his shop full of LS based equipment doing real fine..! Ever heard of a LS swap ? 🥳😱🏁
Ok! That is awesome! Love the idea, setup,power,build. I mean if you’re going to do a monster like this you are the guy to call for sure no doubt about it. I know! If you have to ask the price you can’t afford it. BUT! ! I have to know. Just wondering how much is one of those killer motors? Being this old now would like to know if I could even dream of having a killer motor like this. Thank you for your time and love your stuff.

11:04 absolute peek dewy moment 😂
I cant wait to see this thing in Ruby!
Well you will have to wait a loooong time for that. The C5 has become their 8.50 car.
Hopefully we get to see videos of BoostMaster being repaired and videos of Sugar Momma getting some track time.
turbo kit looks nice but with the inlets facing each other that close wont they fight each other for air? or at minimum cause airflow disturbance?
3034 bhp on a 427ci "small block" ls style platform ... 👌 😎
Shop content, this was an all around shop vids. Lot of info and dyno pulls can never go wrong. Dragging content, lets see some solid 8.50 and a 5 this year, especially since the wagon was mostly cosmetic-unbelievably so.
That block is so noice I want one to make a coffee table out of it
Ya had me at SANDRAIL!!
Go into some detail on proper reading of spark plugs. N/a nitrous or blown. That would be very helpful. Love your videos! I learn so much!
That looks like a ton of work. Hats off.
This is so cool. Like the dyno sessions. Nice balance.
Sweet! I love the fact these are built to live!
So nice there are still places you can run with no inducer or fuel limits.
I don't know how many you currently do, but I'd love to see more of the screw blower stuff like, Whipple, Kenne Bell and Magnuson. I have a soft spot for those engines.
Could you ask the sand rail guy to send a quick video of a pull . Should be pretty wild I would think. Great video guys 👍
be interesting to put a smoke machine in front of the engine - i wonder if the two turbos are fighting over the same piece of air because they face each other?
I was wondering about that too. Then I saw 3000+ HP and thought, "huh, I guess not!" 😆 Amazing stuff!
