@@unknown_5925 you guys only got the aluminum motors lol. I feel like there would be a market for throwing like 50 iron 5.3s on a boat and shipping them over there.
@travisblack417 that would be a brilliant idea I was thinking doing the same shipping back any ls blocks, heads and complete motors as I can to help fund a month or 2 long holiday to the West coast of the usa
Man, this reminds me of Autoshop in HS. Lotsa fun figuring things out. That was the 70's though, so no electronics, injectors, ect. just carbs and disributers. Did you get your experience from being in a family that did car work? or all self taught or mentors? I think you had Autoshop in High school.
@@Sonoma_Coast I did autoshop in highschool but 99% of what I know is from diving into everything headfirst and teaching myself. I’m the first “car guy” in my family.
@@racingdatasystems3708 I absolutely would but unfortunately there is no (easy) way to get it fired up on my runstand. We would need some LT1 to LS3 intake adapters, an LS3 carb intake (I only have cathedral), some LT1 headers or stock manifold+exhaust flanges, some LT1 motor mounts that are similar to the style I used for mounting LS’ on my stand, and most importantly I would have to figure out how to get the MSD box happy. The gen 4 and gen 5 motors have the same 4x/58x cam and crank signals but the sensors themselves are totally different. A few people have gotten it to work but it requires some ingenuity.
@@travisblack417 Let me see if I can locate a square port intake. I work with the owner of HP Tuners in professional racing. I'll see if he has anything we can "test" for the ignition side of the equation.

@@michaelthomas788 no it isn’t. It’s very small and light weight for an electronic 4 speed with overdrive. If you want something way bigger and heavier (slower) the 80e exists. The 60e is perfect for several of my personal applications.
@@travisblack417 700r4 is just as light as small but better and if you put a locker in it it's way better one of my recent builds was a 84 Pontiac trans Am blueprint 350 485 foot pounds of torque at the engine with a 7004 with a locker that car is pretty much almost unbeatable on the street compared to most cars that are street legal
@@michaelthomas788 despite supposedly “working on cars” you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. The 700r4 and 60e are effectively mechanically identical.

My kinda guy! Love your content
I love my LS swapped nova so much i treated it to a LSA supercharger…..best thing i ever did to that car next to the rear gears and posi
I appreciate u gang 💪🏾 Not too many left like you in the Car-munnity
Hey bro it’s the guy from utah with the ls1 issues. Love the vids. Very motivating! Thanks for the chat the other day.
Nice work my brother!!!! This thing is going to be nice when it's all buttoned up!
Good ole one wheel peel dude!! 💪💪👍👍
Glass packs on LS’s sound wicked, i have them both on my nova and c10……and they set off car alarms daily
I love your vids bud pretty sweet! From Canada
Sounds pretty good!

@@joncpeters I have several other videos where I show exactly how to install the Holley 302-2 pan
Nice
Is that exempt from Cal. smog check to get it registered?
It’s a 72. 76 is cutoff.
@@travisblack417 Right on
@@travisblack417 That's cool you don't have to smog the Monza either. I came across your videos because I had a 1977 Monza Mirage.
This would awesome 👌 can't wait to put one on my bagged hilux minitruck in australia only problem is the ls engines and trans here are way too much 😢

Travis is back!!! 👍 I bought a 6.6 L8T! Do you want to throw a carb on it and fire it off? It arrives to me next Monday! Maybe use it for content?

Do you think the 5.3 ls is a good motor I put one in my 85 Camaro and I just want a bad ass street cruiser that will light the tires up if I wanna ?
Hell yes.

Question for you. Did you have to massage the trans tunnel to fit the 4L60E?
@@lifeinchicago60647 nope
Got a question for you Travis first off really appreciate the content. What size belt did you use for the Nova? Thanks James.
@@matile427 the ICT billet kit tells you which belt length. You should also always just measure yourself.
