Do as little as possible. Don’t let too much magic out.
You’re Looking freshly buffed sir.
Just did a redhot today in a ls3 , 445 through an auto, pretty dead before 3600rpm, peaked at 6400rpm
You should do a motor with the most radical cam the stock valve train will handle just to see what it'll do.
My LS7 has a BTR 4 cam in a C6Z06, makes 630rwhp, pump gas, no power adder. It lives at 4k-7500rpm tho! 🤣
Matt doing cuts in videos. Holy shit.
please write with a paint pen on the valve covers "sorry officer it wasnt me"
And for what parts to use? Idk I bought a gsxr - wanna tune that shit?
A wise man once said "Build a piece of shit"
Fuck yes junkyard race engine! I hope it serves you much horsepower.
The hand really helps with the presentation lol
I better buy an ly6 before everyone and there mother buys one and they’re 5grand lol 😂
Dirty Dingo has some great brackets
Gap the Rings!
I had a ly6 in my starlet. Ran 5.9s on pump gas no problem. Good engines
Hell yeah man. Sucks about the motor in your Fairmont but it's free knowledge for the rest of us. Great tip on looking for garlic bread and too much sauce on top is a no go!
I did buy an aluminum 6.0 engine that those stupid tensioners broke and plugged up the pickup tube and you can guess the rest hahaha
Need some stickers up on the site.
Sloppy stage 3 that fogger. I have a 6.6 sloppy 3 cam. Fricken giggle sheeter.😅
Great find, the ly6 is the go to aside from the Alu equivalent or 6.2. Poor Boy race mota.
He said "10 years of hate holding it on." ctfu!!!!!
I just had an epiphony, you should LS swap one of the Kia Souls!!!! lol.
I have a 04-24v VR6 and 6spd manual sitting here for the tan one when it goes
rectangle port, not square. unless people call them the same thing?
Came for the LY6, stayed for the 'hand'.... 🤣
I was hoping you were going to straighten out that push rod and put it right back in.
leak check that valve. And or put it in a drill and check runout
I build budget LS's on the side in San Diego, and have used the ICT billet drill template for the iron 6.0 blocks a few times. Works well.
where at, chula vista here...
@JoeHynes284 I'm in Alpine. I have built engines my whole life. Recently decided to sell my toys and build engines since that's my favorite part of every project anyway. I invested to do everything besides bore/hone myself.
Ditto yo. ICT billet 💯
I have used the ICT Billet drill guide and tap a lot. Great products
I had the lq9 with 821 heads and truck intake with a tsp stage 3 ls3 cam in my Zephyr and it went 10.60s@126-128 like clock work all motor. Full interior car. That thing should be a beast with a blower on it!
Man that gives me a lot of hope. I have a LY6 pulled out of a 2010 HD. Going in a SAS'd OBS with a SM465 4 speed. Running Matt's cam and a Terminator. It has the stock 42b hr injectors. What injectors and fuel pump did you run? That is the only thing I need to nail down. Motors ready to go just have to quit fishing enough to swap it.
@joshhampton2883 I ran dual 255s inline and it was on e85 with deka 60lb injectors. It made 450whp through a th350 trans and an ati 8" converter
@@86boostdcapri Interesting. I have a Chinese Aeromotive 1000 pump and a 7875 gen2 billet VS I had planned on doing for another OBS I have but I'm gonna use the LY6 in my driver. Grab a junkyard 5.3 for the burnout machine. So I guess the stock 42s on pump will be enough to support that and just get a good 340 pump. I figured a single 255 wouldn't be enough. Thank you for the reply boss.
@joshhampton2883 sounds like fun lol.. yeah the 42s and pump gas should be ok.
@joshhampton2883 keep fishing bro!!!
LY6 is great engine, iron block, rec port heads, a new bumpstick and she will be ready to send....
does the best cam use stock length pushrods
yes
Hey you think you could lend me a hand 🤚 and do more podcasts 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Baby hand Mining for gold !!!! Love it
I want a link to the magic hand that makes it look big
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the wide split of the Red Hot. I understand Brian is "giving" parts, so there is that. My thoughts would be about .220/.224, .610 lift, 109+4. Really rowdy in N/A, mucho nocho's with the TorqStorm
i have a 229 234 618 107 in there now
No piston marks slapped it back together.
Look at those big ole square ports!!
Great band name "10 yrs of hate" 😂
Agreed. PERFECT amount of filth.
It seems like you haven’t had a 6.0 in years…
I ❤ garlic bread. Let's go!
Thanks for the update!
My favourite Mott videos. Feels like 2011 all over again. Well apart from the face…..
Slapification: 11/10 👏
“Ten years of hate”
I recently scored a 08 LY6 6.0L from a Express van in the u pull! Also was fortunate to grab 2 L92'S 6.2L's from a 07 Escalade and 07 Denali!
Those vans usually have 4l80e too
@@ShawnGilbert1967
Got that too!!!🤘🤘🤘
@rajcam80 I have used an F1A-94 with 440ci-505ci BBC well in excess of 1300hp thru them turning to 7600 on the 440ci ( 4.310 bore by 3.75 stroke with 6.9 rods ) and over 1000ftlbs launching 1.3x 60fts on footbrake for many years....top notch cooling, HD2 kit and decent clutches that's it....I cant believe I never broke a hard part...I mentioned the BBC builds cause it was heavy and had much more on the hit than my LS stuff did....aka trans killer...pulled the t400 installed that in my 67 camaro over 15 years ago never looked back...got one behind my LS7 Gen4 also shift at 7600 NA has seen 8k...I also say that because they supposedly don't like rpm....I did drill extra relief hole to evacuate pressure ......awesome find
@@ShawnGilbert1967
It is very amazing they can withstand the power out comes!
Where do I go to buy such magical best cam? Help please
Check out the description for links to the store
I have a ly6 with sloppy2 cam, it will cool to see the power level these make with little effort
what you should sell as a book of dues and don’ts for the first time LS builder like myself a sloppy step-by-step guide for building naturally aspirated turbo LS applications. I wouldn’t have to scour your videos to get rod bolt specs, or decide to reuse the timing chain or not, etc. etc. and that would be a good book
Thanks a lot. They were already expensive enough 😎
Any ideas on when the boost smart io will be available?
That’s a pete question
Parmesan
Every valve spring I've replaced on the ly6/l96 has been that 1. I've also seen cyl 7 and 8 seat exit the chat quite often.
I just had to pull the heads and get the valves done on my 278k mi LC9 and #7 cylinder was trashed while the others were worn as would be expected for the mileage. Not sure the reason why that cylinder was so beat.
Heat
I'm 99% sure this is not a LY6 Matt because the engine you have has AFM and the LY6 and its successor L96 did not have AFM.
What it do baby!!
I have the "best cam" in my torqestorm boosted 5.3l... it makes great power!
Ict billet has a locating guide kit to drill out that hole for the alternator. It’s a 10x1.5mm tap size
The hand is gold!
Indeed, I love the Factory race motor. I have the Aluminum version ( L76) in My daily.
You need to make the “best cam” for bigger engines. The current best cam is good for 4.8 or 5.3
Fancy mechanics
LY6s are great engines, I have always been curious if 706/862 heads on a 6.0 vs 921/923s would be quicker because the smaller chambers and valves spool quicker and make more tq under the curve. Sure peak HP is higher however a few more psi upstairs with an electronic waste gate can easily equal that inspite of the smaller heads. Especially with a TH400/4L80e with fewer, taller, wider spaces gears. A 6L80/6L90 with the rec ports is probably going to work better I would guess. I suppose the right converter can take much of the difference away by keeping the engine up where the rec ports make the power however there probably are more losses to the tire with a looser converter. But yeah, 706 vs 923 on a 6.0 with a nice sized turbo on the street and strip what is going to be better to drive and quicker real world. That would be a great test. SSII and SSIII cams in each maybe as an extra bogie. I realize the turbo, fuel system, ethanol, converter, trans and displacement being equal on each combo are going to probably be more important factors to performance and power.
This is a centri build
Common to break valve spring I change them with a pushrod and they run fine Afterward. That happen when guide went at idle
When you strip the block and put the d heads on the block and notice the head chambers are wider than the cylinder on the intake side what are you going to do. Jog the head or bevel the top of the block.
What a gem!
That hand man my mind was going crazy with you tapping on everything. 😅
I know it goes against all Happelness but can you get a valve job and heads checked before it goes back together?
I understand you would get red hot cam for free but why not use your best cam?
Hey Matt on your podcast with Tom Nelson he said somthing about running lots again cam with the x ram intake could that be some of the power issues?
Are we "car people" all easily distracted like this? If I had a hand on a stick I'd be doing the exact same thing...
Mine had a broken spring Matt. Was hard to tell till cam and springs. That's my bet man.
Ict sells a drill guide for the hole. It doesn't come with a tap or anything, just a way to guide whichever tap you use..
curious what you do to delete DOD, do you thread and tap with a set screw/npt plug, use the DOD delete cover from GM, or use the fancy lingenfelter rivet tool? Also I just went back into my engine to get rid of that style of tensioner, I feel validated
You know the deal, swap the parts with random bits off the shelf and send it
Crazy the l96 in my bus broke that spring or the one next to it I can’t remember. It melted my intake manifold.
On that bolt hole, I’d find out what the thread is on the others. Then get the proper drill bit and tap. Bolt the bracket up an use it to locate where the hole goes. Maybe a sharpie will fit perfectly in the hole? If not use something to mark it. Me, I’d use my transfer kit (bunch of pointed punches in dozens of different sizes) to mark it.
👍💪
Good to know about the timing chain tensioners. Wondered if it would be worthwhile to put on an older engine. Thanks.
Keep the stock head gaskets sealed as long as possible, they went through a ton of heat cycles, and abuse! Right from the junkyard perfect! I have been pulling the. For yrs and selling them ,as is ifit ain't broken don't fix it!
That freaking hand!!!!!😂😂😂
Have any experience with Thompson motor sports ls7 lifters? Seems like they’re advertised as a higher rpm tighter tolerance lifter that allows a bit more aggressive lobe ramp. Idk how well they’d work but figured I’d give them a shot.
I’m familiar with Thompson motorsports having a lot of failures and issues
Bout 30 seconds in I always hit the like button and I’m never disappointed. The entertainment is pure gold. I still use his UPS “United parcel Smashers”. Matter of fact, we had a smashed package today and said that.
why is your one hand so little
Hey boss your website says $190 for the cam but when I go to check out it says $350? What it it supposed to be?
That’s the domestic cam.
Swap to import on drop down
Gapping those rings?
Man I’m eagerly watching to see what you come up with in the fairmont. I’m gonna put a torqstorm on my g8 and can’t wait to see your results!
And do as little as possible to this one seems to work best
