So when Adam says that they prepped the LS3 "just in case" his mom really hates it, what he's saying is that he's spreading out the empire and using his mom's Solstice as storage since he's running out of warehouse room hahaha.
Also, everyone that learned to leave the timing cover and rear main housing hand tight until the oil pan is installed and torqued to spec owes ur boy a huge thank you. Thats EVERY generation, material, and size of LS platform too. It took me 4 builds to figure out why they all leaked a tiny bit right there. Right on that was some EXTREMELY useful information.
I stumbled onto your video a couple month back with the turbo install into moms car and now this....way to fun to watch, enjoy the banter and technical aspect...now Im looking for a Solstice...your mom is awesome!!
I love this channel it’s so hands on and family like unlike other channels that send there stuff to have anything done. “Time for an oil change” *sends car to shop* these guys really out here putting an LS into his moms car !!!
My favourite vlog in a while on just how genuine and wholesome this video feels and makes you feel like you’re hanging with them and hearing all the funny jokes😂
I reallllyyyy enjoy watching Adams videos, just how much I learn about engines in general, maintaining certain aspects of it etc. I love it even tho I'm on 16 and won't be able to own my own car for a while, I'm still learning😊I appreciate this team so much
Been watching since back in the bmx days when I was majorly into riding and when he made the switch to cars so did and I’m so appreciate of him showing his learning drifting and everything
this episode somhow felt like one of mcm short movies, the music and the editing made it feel so comfy but in a different unique way. I'm liking the addition of Mike!
With all the JZ action in the shop figured Adam would drop one in his moms car. It directly bolts in to the factory location and bolts up to the trans also. Love this channel 🙌
@adamlz another easy way to remove the exhaust manifold head bolts is to tap on the head of the bolts a few times with a medium size hammer or brass hammer is best before breaking them loose, and also if they remain tight as you're turning them give them small taps as you are loosening them help knock the corrosion off the threads. 👍
He won't put an LS in any of his car, but puts one in his mom's car. Next season he buy his mom a new sports car and introduces his new Solstice drift car. :)
After driving odis rental at Texas Adam is confident with an ls and even built this ls so he could use it in a drift car if his mom doesn’t like it he says that in this video
@@vancemccarthy2554 His first V8 was the FD and had planned to put something else in it. However after driving it a little bit and driving the v8 rental drift car he is warming up to them.
Damn I just watched every second of this video! And all I can say is ..... MOREEEEEE! I love these longer videos and any content LZ puts out is worth watching no matter how long!
Unlike Adam's normal videos, these ones are prerecorded a few days before release, because he had to give the finish car to his mom before uploading any of the series, to keep it a surprise!
Freddy is going places the fact that he is on some of these big UA-camr channels yet still so humble that’s a recipe for the next cleetus and jackstand jimmy
No reason to do an SR20. Fastest 4 cyl in the world is a GM Ecotec Would kind of been cool to see him do a 2JZ swap but figured it would be an LS when he talked about the frame mods needed for header clearance on the driver's side and AC clearance on the passengers. LS swaps in the Kappa platform are not uncommon and these mods are well documented for those swaps.
Love the idea of swapping your mom engine and with a V8 I can't wait to see it finish and see the reaction your mother is going to have I think she's going to love it what a Christmas present.
As soon as i heard the power, the trans, and how you were clearancing it....i knew what engine it would be lol....Also its not about how much the bearings spin, but that they are loosely built and uncaged. As soon as they hit the right frequency with all the extra lift, the needles get moved around more and come out and fly all over the engine
I been trying to tell all the UA-camrs with LS cars that have T56 trans that they can buy a sequential shifter conversion kit for $1k USD by S1 Sequentials conversions. You could also take it off easily and put it in another LS with a T56. They also make one that converts the T6060 to sequential as well.
He didn't hate them, he just found them fairly boring. But after he got the GT350 and started trying to make his turbo cars really responsive with useable power all across the range he started to appreciate the all the useable torque and response that V8s offer.
Can we just appreciate how dang humble Freddy is. What a gentle soul to put the spice in the beans

Freddy is the bomb. Makes everything look super easy.
That pop when Adam took off the connector @5:28 really itched my brain the right way.
13:41 that’s a solid Steve’O impression
I really appreciate Adam saying, "It's a great way to stay in shape." What a throw back to the old webisodes.
This whole video is “that’s what she said” worthy

Still pounds them off with the impact
Best way to help unlock manifold bolts. Shock load from the hammer in the gun helps👍
@@PhilHobbs1986 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not
@@gageneisius8034 nope, deadly serious. Shock loads help!
It works ... impact is less likely to twist them off. Just like 5.4 spark plugs. Impact them out.
btw I'm an Aussie and over here there's a really nice VE club sport equipped with an ls3, it makes 317hp and probably the nicest sound.
0:20 THAT IS ONE FINE PALLET JACK
Freddy is the least mad mad genius there ever was. What an insanely smart and genuinely humble guy.
I go away for six months from this channel and come back and Adam is still going in on Shulman.
All I can think is damn, that Freddy guy is an encyclopedia. What a treasure to have a guy like that in your shop helping you.

I like you used both your and you're wrong in that sentence, lol.
Adam you nailed the drain sound! 🙌🏼
This motor will rip and honestly would love to know how a properly built Solctice would do with an LS3 on a road course!?
Well now it weighs a lot more and handles alot worse than it did before
