Hey guys I know this ones gonna stir the pot a bit but we are committed to showing the real deal. We had no idea that this was a built motor and the vehicle was bought that way from the previous owner who had no idea. BTW putting aftermarket pistons in a 2.8 and matching seems more expensive than just putting in a 4.3. This motor was never running strong enough (bc of fueling issues) and to our knowledge it was 330k old to ever think otherwise and blowing it up seemed to be a great idea!! Please understand that all of our vehicles will be used to give veterans and first responders the rides of their lives in our unique projects!
That's bad ass
Love you guys
Wasn't surprised it was built based on the abuse it was taking, but the entire drivetrain had so many problems, fuel problems, just wasn't in good working order. I mean yes you could have donated it, but who doesn't want to see if an engine can run with popcorn, mountain dew, and peanuts? Sometimes gotta make content to fund the rest of the project. Keep up the good work dude I'm stoked you and Cleetus are both making content, more watch time to learn and enjoy for me!
Maybe keep it a truck engine like the 5.3 ecotech direct injection LT style out of a 2015 and up Silverado.
Haters gonna hate. Keep doing you. We love it. And its awesome to see the numbers change on the dyno when you throw extra stuff at it. #sendit

So I'm confused. Are these not Cleetus' dogs and his shop?
@@TheGuccibane Good question. I think Hollie is from their litter
We split the shop. These are our dogs minus one at bird training. Holley is the sister to one of our dogs

Do what you love man!! People are always gonna hate and have an opinion. Most of us love to see the content you love to make. It's kinda a big part of what makes this whole thing so special!!! Can't wait to see what goes into this build!!
That was some good improv reenactment haha
I don't think anyone could top that James reenactment grabbing anything he could spray into the intake.
😂👌
Those 2.8 V6's are pretty strong.. my friend used to have one in his '88 Buick Century and it had starting issues with it.. and since it was a beater.. on colder days it would refuse to start and he used a can or SureStart every damn morning for 2 years and tortured shit out of it until finally it had a rod knock! That was crazy!
Keep up the good work guys!
Had a piece of debris from the road go into my oil pan on my 93 S-10 and release all of the oil back to the earth from whence it came, it had 12x,xxx miles at the time and I drove it 50 miles with 0 oil pressure to get home in the middle of a snow storm and the next day after patching the pan with JB Weld, I poured 5 quarts of AmSoil into her and I drove it another 4 years and 40,000+ miles until I bought a full size chevy and I sold that little truck for 2k and that was 13 years ago and it was seen, still running a couple of years ago! Chevrolet and Amsoil, unbeatable combo!
Jeremy Smith holy wow! That’s crazy.
Jeremy Smith sorry calling bullshit on that 50 miles 0 oil pressure would have trashed those bearings.
Probably full of sludge and that's what saved it. We had a hole in a trans cooler line on a Bonneville with 300k miles. Ran all of the fluid out of it. Put Lucas in it and topped it off and it was fine after a while. Never had a transmission flush. Our theory is that sludge kept it lubricated. Car went on to have 400k miles. It sounds ridiculous but it's true.
I really doubt the later model 4t65s would do that. Those things seem to grenade if you look at them wrong.
@@msengineeringdavid3702 All you do is talk crap in the comments section. Sad, sad man.
A friend drove his Toyota 4x4 (One of the late 80's 4cyl ones) back home out of the woods after knocking a hole in his pan on a rock. It had to be near 50 miles. That was 20 years ago and he's still using it for a hunting truck and has never been inside the motor. So to anyone calling BS on his story, I know for a fact that if you get lucky you can run one on zero oil pressure a good distance and it'll survive.
Suggestion for the build, a 4.8 LS crank in a 6.0 LS block makes a new school 327 (same bore and stroke as the old 327 but LS components) that will spin as fast as the valvetrain can be kept under control. You might need to get rods made to bridge the gap and force the piston all the way up at TDC, or there might be an existing SBC rod that will work. I'm not familiar with the details of the compression height of the 6.0 LS piston or the deck height of the LS block, but I'm sure between the LS inventory and SBC parts that interchange you could build a new school 327 for not much, and turbos really like high revving engines.
The guy who owns the race track outside my city (and lives around the corner from me) supposedly had a destroked 283 way back when, and it must've turned like 10k RPM.
It was highly considered and I’m still infatuated with the idea. But I think the other stuff would cost too much plus the other stuff we have lying around makes it less appealing. But it’ll be nasty.
shoot even a junkyard 4.8 would be cool
but a 5.3 IS a 327, why not just build it? or build a 6.0, remember there's no replacement for displacement.
@@Themadhattter according to gm the 5.3 is a 325
Love the tear down. I had to laugh when I saw the bearings. We found a similar looking rod bearing in my cousin's wife's Talon TSI. She had bought it knowing it had rod knock, and when we got it on the stand we started checking for play and found #4 had a ton of play. Pulled the cap and the bearings looked like a fan. We've showed it to many people and not many have seen anything like it.
Doggies are absolutely beautiful ! I loves them all ! They are so precious ! Please take really , really good , exceptional care of them always ! 100% ! 🤗
Damn no popped popcorn in the oil pan
I have a suggestion.
Old school, and New shool combo. I've done it myself for my 79 Z28. It's NOT a supercharged or turbo car. But it's absolutely wicked.
Built turbo 350 tranny, 3200 stall converter, and 241-1 rear gears out of a 78 Type LT Camaro.
The engine is a 1969 350 4 bolt main block, The heads are off a 1991 police interceptor, huge cam I can't remember the specks on it, hydraulic roller lifters, forged 400 crank and connecting rods and a 400 harmonic balancer and flywheel.
Fuel injection robbed from the taxi as well as the entire serpentine system.
It's 10.5-1 compression ratio.
Tons of torque throughout the entire band, and fast.
I hope that this might give you guys some different ideas.
Some older guys as well like watching your videos.
Why NOT a collaboration of the generations ?
You guys are awesome Jeremy. Do a collaboration, Do it for Dale brother.

I loved reading about your car. I had a dead mint Georgia driven 1980 Z/28 charcoal grey with oyster white vinyl interior, with orange/red stripes. Had 54k when I got it, it was a 4spd car, the early aluminum big honeycomb wheels, I built a 383 and damn I miss that car. 2nd Gen F bodies forever!
The big vane in the intake is for the EGR...being that it doesn't mix well with the intake charge so they put in the vanes to swirl and mix the unburnable exhaust gas trying to prevent misfiring. I built a nice 85 2.8 with TRW 204/214 cam, smallblock lifters and LT1 valve springs. Took out the intake vanes and bowl ported and port matched to an Edelbrock 4bbl manifold with 390 Holley on it. Ran pretty well for what it was. Funny thing was the carburetor that I took the metering plates off and put 4150 blocks with center floats and the carb was as long as the valve cover. Hilarious little motor that went to 7K every day of it's life. Good little motor.
Much respect for the tear down video. A lot of channels just blow em up and we never see what happened inside. I love engine carnage. Thanks guys.
I'm putting some toys in the mail tomorrow for the pups. Love the golden retrievers beautiful and hearts as big as themselves. I'm 30 years hold and I've had goldens all my life! Keep the videos coming. I love watching the show. @fasterproms

That’s pretty cool! Laz and I have something in common my first engine build years ago was my 83 Camaro 2.8 V-6 and his was an 85! Just thought that was kinda cool! Lol! Keep up the awesome content Jeremy! I love the fasterproms channel! Take care guys!!
The first engine I rebuilt was a 2.8l in a Beretta. Its the same engine with mpfi.
What was the details of the build I have an 84 Camaro DNT know wat to do build the 2.8 or swap the motor
@@lambo747 If you have an fbody you are way better off swapping it to a v8. A small block would be easiest and cheapest, but nowadays a ls is a hard deal to pass up.
Martin like he said, hands down no doubt v-8 swap bud! If you plan to run a carb then regular old 350 but if you want to go efi then for sure ls swap it!
Just tore apart a 4.8 lr4 today and the rod was sheared into pieces. The engine was still running after it happened somehow, there were pieces of the rod/piston in the oil pick up tube and the top of the piston had valve indents the whole way around the piston. It only stopped running bc the wrist pin got stuck in between the crank weight and the main caps. Its incredible how these things engines still run
All the way from the backyard at home Laz is the unseen and heard worker bee.
He speaks!!!!!!!!!Good job!!!
Sweet fasterproms gonna be a good day
Those pistons seem to explain why it held together a bit longer than expected with the mega-nitrous combustiblefest you threw at it, Cleetus included.
Your office is litteraly heaven with all those beautiful fur babies!
So glad the puppers enjoyed the toy! Sent Cleetus one too but it didn’t make his last mail video.

Man, I have an 08 Impala that had no oil in it due to a leak I found in Galveston, had no money on me so I chanced it... it got me all the way back to my house in Houston! Was clattering and slightly knocking... put oil back in it and it ran smooth again! Chevy v6 motors are MONSTERS

When I was a kid,I had a bunch of 2.8s and loved them all. I even bought a brand "new" long block from Autozone for $350. That's so cheap for a complete engine (minus the sheet metal). Such a good little engine.

Look at lil man, Super respectful keeping his distance YET you see the interest beeming from his eyes and crook'd neck!! Totally my kinda son.. My kinda CHANNEL!!
I had a 2.8 in a 87 firebird that I build when I was young. ( my parents said I couldn't have v8) so I put nos and little money in it and I could not blow that car up I raced everybody. Love what your doing! Keep it up!!! Pet them dogs for me too.
A HS friend had a fully built 2.8 in a S-10. I'm not sure what all he had in the motor, but he would out run stock 5.0 mustangs and Camaros at the local Mexican hot spots. He and a buddy with a 4.3 S-10 were notorious for going out of town and taking money off of unsuspecting guys in sports cars.
The old 2.8 was nothing to Laugh at if done Right.. I Miss the Hell out of Mine. 5.0 Mustangs were nothing to that thing.
Yeah I claim BULLSHIT !!!! STFU !!!!
I had a 2000 Chevy Metro with a 1.0l I3 , I built the little motor , forgded crank , pistons , etc , cam , rollers , all motor no spray or turbos . I did intake , open header , I had it professionally tuned .... I smoked modded 5.0 l mustangs and 5.7l Camaros all day ! I also took heavily modded c5 vettes with nitrous ! The Metro , or the Met as I liked to call it , cause whoever raced me MET their match , was a BEAST ! I never once lost a race ! Won a ton of money ! Car was a sleeper , looked totally stock, was loud with the open header but it just sounded like it needed exhaust work ! Best part is that it was also my daily driver that got 55 mpg to boot ! Little car had top end also , I took her up to 188 mph before in good ole Mexico ! 🤗 You should have seen people's faces when they looked under the hood and realized they were just beat badly by a 3 cylinder !
HA HA, SPEED PRO PISTONS, it probably had the cam from them too ? Their cam runs out at 4,000 RPM.
@Jasiel Rosas Almeida False advertising, my eardrums are now pouring blood.
I love what you're talking about doing with the truck, AWD is an amazing idea, forced induction is just a must have. One thing I would personally like to see, Is a modern V6 as a powerplant (maybe something like the V6 TT in the ATS-V????) just in the spirit of the syclone/typhoon and even stuff like the GNX from this era.
Chauncey McGuilicutty I like the idea but enough power. We made 600whp with the 3.6TT atsv. We need about 1-200 more.
I hear ya! Can't argue with that!
I had a 89 GMC S- 15 WITH THE 2.8 Wide Block V6. Where all I did with it was Ran "Cat Back Dual Exhaust (No Muffler) And I Flipped the Air Cleaner Cover. Doing just those Things seemed to give it ALLOT More Power. Limeted slip rear end 5 Speed Manual trans. Let's just say... It was Pretty damn Quick! I don't even Know how many 4.3's that I left Choking on my Dust. And Many other cars of different models and Builds. Really wish That I could have had more Time Playing With And "Tweaking" It. Hopefully You Guys can Tap The Real Potential of the 2.8 Wide Block V6. I'Ve heard some Very Interesting Rumors About them And Their Development. 😀👍

I built/worked a bunch of cool things at Dover cylinder head between the time they changed owners and closed

@@1STGeneral haha that was the song Luis the owner played for me when I was messing with my engines
11:50 "Engine Autopsy" There's the name for this series right there, with Cleetus and James around it should be a good one!
Here's something that I don't think has been done..put a built 3.8 turbo motor out of a gtp and make it rwd with a manual if possible in the s10 or a gtp. ZZP performance has a ton of speed parts for these motors and cheap compared to ls parts. I am an ls guy but I don't see many people doing much with these motors.
Look up the oddball rare 1989 Pontiac TTA (Turbo Trans Am) They had the same GN 3.8 but with physically smaller heads from the 3.8 used in the FWD cars so it would fit in the TTA.
The 1989 3.8 turbo Firebird was the Indy Pace car edition, due to the better aerodynamics of the 'Bird, it was faster than the GN. They sell for big $ now that people realize how fast and rare they are.
Lawson Perfomancehorses they definitely should, the 3.8 would love the boost, My gtp has 261k and takes a abusing 24/7, like you said. Not many of them swaps around and it would be cool to see it in a s10
400 small block!
Best episode yet Jeremy and guys! Cant wait until the next one!
You guys just caused a flashback !
Not back to Viet Nam. ( I’m not of that era) but of my first engine tear down.
It was a 3.0 hp Briggs motor on a lawnmower that was a casualty of my hitting a large rock (broken rod or crank...can’t remember...it was 1973)
Before I wrecked it... it was my dream to pull the head and somehow fill in the chamber to increase compression in an effort to kill more grass FASTER !
I bought a rod knocking 2.8 s10 and the same rod Locked up with a hole in the block
My Uncle had an S-10 with a 2.8 and a knock. Sold it cheap to a guy. I swear that dude drove it with that knock forever. Probably 2 years later he pulled up next to me and it was knocking like ever. Never saw it again after that haha. I guess 2 years is the knocking limit
I bought mine off my cousin who did an oil change and forgot to put oil back in it .
The new Fasterproms intro song:
When I was young I used to wait
On the tuning master and hand him his pistachios,
And Pass the Jack Daniels bottle when he got dry,
And brush away the broken rods.
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
My master's squirrel has gone away.
And when he rides the dyno in the afternoon,
I follow with a hickory broom;
The S10 being very shy,
When bitten by the James the blue tail bottle fly.
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
My master's squirrel has gone away.
One day he rode on the dyno,
The nitrous bottles so numerous they did swarm;
One chanced to bite him on the block.
The devil took the engine oil away.
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
Jeremy cracks pistachios and I don't care,
My master's squirrel has gone away.
The S10 just ran and ran
Cleetus couldn't kill him;
Neither could James;
He was still alive
They buried him 'neath the burn out pad out back of the shop
His epitaph there for to see:
"Beneath this burn out pad I'm forced to lie,
The victim of breathing too many blue bottles of James ."
Wow thats a true masterpiece!! Speechless.
My first car (Olds) had a carbureted 2.8 V6. They were bomb proof. Mostly because it barely had enough power to run the power steering pump, but it was as reliable as could be, even for a 16yo gearhead with a lot of “experiments”
Me and another mechanic where talking and thought that a lv3 LT based v-6 with twin turbos would be more like the spirit of the syclone and typhoon . Also not alot of people have done that yet except for sloppy mechanics channel. Just food for thought. Love the legend read about that car when i was in high school. I enjoy your channel love the dyno pulls!

Trade Engines with Ruby.
You could also build a Vortec 4.3. Had a friend in the Navy that had a 83 Buick skylark with one. Not sure how much it was making but it needed a 650 double pumper om it It was in Virginia where if it was not a option or did not come on the car it was illegal to drive on the street. He had to switch intakes to get it inspected every year.
Man I’m going to get torched for this but... how about building a turbocharged 4200 atlas i6 that was in the trailblazers? Aluminum block, 4.2L DOHC, already has the oil pan/front diff setup for AWD. The engines were pretty solid. Just not much aftermarket support. It does have VVT on the exhaust. Would be nice if they did it on the intake too. It would be completely out of the box thinking and unique.
Pete's Garage they are not awd they are 4wd and GM ls have diffs for oil pans too... also there are no manual transmissions for it for the 4.2 I know I have an envoy.
MSengineering David actually the trailblazer SS had the same diff but instead of the actuator on the right side of the oil pan it has a solid coupler. You could use the t-case from an SS also. For a manual trans you could use a 4wd Aiasin A5S found in the Colorado and Canyon trucks. I love LS swapping stuff but this would just be something a little different.
Pete's Garage problem... which clutches are you going to use? Sounds like I should ditch the 4l60 in my envoy.
MSengineering David actually you could use the trans and clutch setup from an H3. I have no idea what the power limits of the clutch are though. Just spitballing here!
Pete's Garage I found spec clutches has clutches good up until 600ft lbs I want to do this before I swap back over to an auto because I have a complete harness and body modules from
a wrecked 5.3 envoy so I’d be going back to auto but I definitely want to do this an H3 has the same transmission?
Holy shit Laz talked
The 2.8l motor is actualy a beast. They where used in baja for years and many other applications reaching 600hp so the articles i read said.
I would love to see soneone build one.
He said “ let’s put it back together and boost it” give that man a raise!
Would be pretty fun to see a junk yard ls in it s10 vs ruby????🤔
That's a great idea. I would be stoked to see Ruby actually beat something, and I would be even more to see an AWD S10 beat Ruby, or maybe even Leroy...
instead of lm7 go w lq9/4
That's how you get a 2.8 to run their a beast if done right
I was Damn Impressed with the one I Had👍
I've 3.4 swapped my 85 firebird, ported the heads, hyper pistons, and am putting a turbo on it. check my vids for an idle clip pre turbo. it's a Canadian block 2.8 bored and stroked to 3.4L
A common trick back in the day was to use a 3.1 crank in the 2.8 plus aluminum heads from a front wheel drive. Made the motor more fun. Gmpp came out with a 3.4 replacement for the 2.8 also.
I'm leaning towards a GMPP 3.4 replacement engine.
I wanted to do almost the same build with my 92 s10. I wanted to put the turbos and intercooler in the bed with its own oil system. Run the cold side piping through the bed into the middle of the cab. The intake pipe would run along the floor up thro the fire wall into the intake. The intake would be facing the cab so almost visible turbo components under the hood. You could put a bed cover on and no one would be able to tell your boosted until they are on the way to gapplebees. I obviously wanted to do alot other stuff also.
Lol. I wanted to install a airliner engine in mine. I didnt do it either
Twin turbo 2.8 or a blown 350 LT1?
700hp 2.8 would be better lol

Looks very similar to the 3.0 v6 I blew up in my ranger that I just tore apart a few days ago. Only difference is that I didn’t window the block, obliterated piston number 6, obliterated another rod, destroyed my oil pump including the main cap it was integrated in, broke one of the weights on my crank, almost destroyed one of the heads. Bent multiple valves.
Now everyone gonna say that they should've not blown up a built motor
It's not blown, though. It still runs. They managed to fire it up right before taking it out of the truck. It's down a cylinder, has pieces of rods all over the place and a welded bearing, and, somehow, it still runs... Weld the block back shut, replace the damaged rods and piston, and you're good to go.
@@halofreak1990 it's all garbage no one would ever try to fix that motor its plain not worth it
I come for the dogs
Onya champ
I know you read the comments, so I just wanted to suggest maybe doing something not a lot of people do and build the hell out of a 4.3 and twin turbo it. It would be a weight savings, and you did mention it being a corner-carver possibly in the future. Think of it as showing what the Cyclone and Typhoon back in the 90's could have done with 2018 technology. Maybe even a sequential gearbox too...
Just a thought.
Pound for pound the 2.8liter gm v6 was probably the toughest little motor ever built. i rebuilt one in my high school auto shop class in 1987 and we got over 320 hp out of it. Quite a feat for a 171 cubic inch engine. I raced it at the local dirt track for the next 3 years in a 1984 Camaro It beat several Camaros with v8s before someone sabotaged the motor by putting solvent in my fuel cans. I actually won the race after it threw rods 3 and 6 through the side of the block like yours did.
Turbo a 4.3 and make your own garage Syclone.
They're so old and obsolete now that it probably wouldn't be cost effective or make as much power as modern stuff. Hard to believe the LS has been around for 20+ years already
@@grabasandwich There's a Syclone on Craigslist currently with the original 4.3 making 750 hp, so they can certainly make the power.
@@kevindavis5966 I'm not denying they can make power, but budget wise it probably wouldn't be as easy as a junkyard LS or whatever. If money wasn't an object, I'd do it for shits and giggles.
they did say something about 4x4, who knows?
you guys should've built that motor. It would've been different and could've been badass!
You know when I first saw you on cleetus McFarland Channel I wanted you to make your own UA-cam because you're good with cars but didn't know if you would or not because you seem shy around the camera however you've become very relaxed around the camera and I am so glad that you have I can't wait until you hit the million Mark just like your best friend Cletus
I’m not sure if you are building this in stages but a cheap brake upgrade for theses trucks is front brakes off a 98-02 f body. Cut the stock rotor/hub down to just the hub and the f body rotors slide right on then you need to modify the spindle and make an adapter bracket to mount the f body caliper. Then a Ford Explorer 8.8 rear with the long side axle shaft replaced with another short side axle works great with these tricks.
build a 4.3 to see what there good for.
Roadkill will tell you they're worth absolutely nothing
Speedskid road kill couldn’t hit water if they jumped out of a boat I’ve owned several 4.3’s they’re mostly gas hogs but I could haul or pull anything a 3/4 ton would pull you can slide a 350 small block piston right in a 4.3 it’s the same exact block just two cylinders less tough motors run forever plenty of power
I had a 4.3 s10. I had me driving and 2 friends probably 200-250 pounds each. I stomped on a v6 Honda accord with my box lol. It wasn't the quickest but had some decent get up in stock form.
@@speedskid4838 plenty of people have got good numbers from the 4.3. My old Typhoon did over 400 to all 4 wheels and that was years ago.
@@speedskid4838 they made 389hp with it without building the motor,and who knows how many miles were on that motor.
you blew up a new motor. congrats
Can’t wait to see this build from start to finish!
My first car/truck was 1985 Chevy s10 Blazer with the 2.8l. I got it used with over 150,000 miles on it. I was a kid 16 years old I never changed the oil in it or add any. I had that Blazer for 3 years and I put over 100,000 miles on it. I beat the crap out of it. It's hard to kill a 2.8
Explains why it wouldn’t die! Lol
Looks like you have no choice but to drop a Cummins or Duramax in it 🤣🤣
They aren’t diesel tuners...
JB weld the holes, remove broken rod and piston and run it some more
The original 6 liter LQ4 from my truck before I bought it looked like that. Original company that owned it ran it with a bad oil pump and the oil pressure decreased to nothing over a couple months, then after a while it had no power at all and would barely move. Then I bought the truck from them for next to nothing. #7 and 8 were knocking. Pulled rod caps and the bearings looked like old dead leaves. All of the mains were friction welded to the crank and I couldn't even pry them off with a screw driver. Even the rods were discolored from the amount of heat. Surprisingly the engine still ran, albeit like an unbalanced washing machine.
I had an 85 Camaro with a 2.8. Its was a great log road/rally car in the log roads of Washington state. Only broke it when I bottomed out and cut the oil pan. We had rally races up there before there were rally races in the hills of Washington state. Go 2.8!
And I had all terrain BF Goodrich studded tires on the back. It was a fun engine.
Put a Porsche flat 6 in there
built motors are over rated just send it, bolt on all the things and see what happens
I had the same motor in a s10 Jimmy. Spun a rod bearing in the middle of nowhere and finally threw a rod after driving it for 300 miles. Smoke everywhere but kept going! Started back up after sitting too. I had 2 holes in the block.
I love your rendition of the spraying an tossing stuff into the motor lmao
#1
Toss in a honda J35, keeping it 6 cylinder just feels right
Hell yeah!, add a couple turbo's and see if it can keep up with PFI Speeds "Bully"!
Bryan Glenn I like the way you think...
I did a head replacement on a tuned port 2.8 liter. It had roller rockers and maybe roller lifters if I remember. It was kind of ballsy for the day it came out of a chevy barretta
I don't know why you're amazed. That entire truck will fall apart around that solid small block. Mad respect for it and it's 305 daddy. - A Mopar Guy
Who builds an s10 if it not a V8 swap? Lol
Roadkill built a 4.3
GixxerDad 600 lol dude my cousin has always been an S-10 and S-10 Blazer nut! Before he finally got smart and started V-8 swapping he built a 4.3 V-6 out the ass! He spent so much money on that motor, at least double what a 350 with a decent cam would’ve cost him and when he got it built the fastest time I ever remember him turning was like a 16.3 in the qtr! Lmao it was a turd! Soon as he went 350 with cam and heads he went to running high 13’s lol!
@@Nitrounicycle the rotsun? The rotson was stock with choo choo boy on it
@@asskickingperformance3550 lmao ok exactly what I expected out of it that's why I wondered who would waste money like that... Had to be an engine builder with leftover parts or just not very smart of a fella
I had a2.8 that we supercharged that was i fun ride ran 11s
Go LS. No question..
It’s always the answer
Best engines ever made.
The 2JZ is definitely the best 6 banger. Yeah the Hemi puts out a lot however the application on a LS is endless. Also, upgrades for a LS is by far cheaper than any other V8.
@@SpartanRacing1989 Need a different block to compete with a 4.6.😉
The LS is versatile, durable, lightweight for an 8 pot, and has absurd aftermarket support. It's definitely the best engine for lots of applications
LS or LT? Never thought I would hear y'all mention an LT motor. I always wanted to build a destroked LT1 using the 4.3 ( L99 ) V8 crank, ala DZ302. That would be a high revving screamer. I could only imagine what it would do with boost.
What are you doing for AWD? Bravada setup like the Cyclone/Typhoon?
IRS as well? I don't know how well IRS would work for drifting though. But it would up the cool factor if you put a Lexan window in the bed to see it through. Especially on a camera mounted in the bed while making runs.
Thank you for all the videos. Your shop (both halves) is a serious inspiration for a lot of people. Please keep them coming.

You guys should do a 3800 swap from a Grand Prix or regal, like some commenters said below it would be cool and you don’t see it much. Plus the aftermarket parts like zzp and intense racing, you can get a good little engine for boost. But love what you guys are doing. Keep it up with the channel!
SKIP TO 3:40
By the way, just aftermarket pistons doesn't qualify as a "Built Motor". Sounds like we need CLICKBAIT PATROL on the scene!
For real! I feel like on half of these fasterproms videos, I'm being sold a cheap SHAMWOW knockoff!
"you guys will receive broken pieces of a 'not special in any way' engine"
Put a honda motor in it.
Fuck honda
😐
Love watching your channel
Fun fact, the 3600 and 3900 are based off of the old 2.8/3.1 60 degree v6 and the 3900 made 240hp/240tq with a variable cam in block. You can even bolt a 3900 in place of the old 2.8. Those 3900s are basically free in uplanders and Montana vans.
