Would love to see a full step by step build from scratch so we can follow along with our own engine at home.

Gen4 5.3 Stock bore, iron block, stock crank and valve train, ljms cam, Molnar power adder rods, Wiseco pistons, s475 , 22psi + 100 shot = 1,103 @ tires going on 2 years not seasons. In Tx we race all year long.

69 camaro with a stock bottom end 2004 6.0, bottom end never taken apart or messed with, new oil pump, ls2 timing chain, ls9 headgaskets, arp headstuds, stock heads unported with texas bald eagle boost cam and cam kit with dual valve springs, chromoly pushrods, seats and seals. Made 30+ 9 second passes on it so far. Holding together like a champ!

Thx.Great vid.I am attempting my first LS build after being a small block dinosouar.This helped me in the right direction.

The secret to building a 1000hp LS engine is simple: Sell enough hats and fanny packs to buy a 1000hp LS engine

Great episode! Hope it turns into a build series. Always wanted to build a motor. Your channel got me on the hunt for a block. Cheers

Great info! Love the break down.

I love the cars, I love the info! Sometimes you talk a little much for an informative video about things that don’t pertain to the title. Love the joking around when I am not trying to absorb important info. All is good, hooked for life!! Thank you

A good power-wash and degreaser application prior to disassembly make it so much easier.

I would love to see this engine rebuilt and running. Good to see a video of tear down, now ready for rebuild video. To running.

28 minutes of babbling, one half-assed engine teardown, and now I know how to build a 1000hp LS.

Just got my first LS, 06 5.3 all aluminum to stuff in my 90 Chevy short van.

Doing a swap in my denali newer 6.0 and looking to mod it up for alot more horse ....video helped alot thanx

That 1000 HP LS engine is great for a 1995 Chevy Caprice as an option. Do not forget the racing shifter.

Camera tip: take your adhd meds prior to video taping.

Can’t have a good day at work with out some LS Nasty for the lunch break!!! Can’t wait to see all these records fall

Keep on keeping on JD!!!!

Subscribed! Love watching tear downs. One respectful recommendation, camera movement makes it difficult to watch. You highlighted multiple issues but the camera showed most for a nano sec. much respect!

John, great video again ask Ben to come back in and work on the cutlass!!! Black sheep is looking good and I can't wait for next season on that one too!!! LSNASTY to the front!!!!!!

🤣🤣🤣😆 That piston came out like THANK GOD YOU SAVED ME!!!!

Need some long sleeve shirts for the winter!!!!

You can put a fordged rotator with a good balance in so many different engines with a good tune and make 1000hp. Hondas are making 1000hp with rod/piston engines, guys are making 1200hp on stock block 8.2 deck stuff, 700hp on stock 360 magnums, 600hp on gm 4.3 engines . All kinds of simple builds making tons of power. Fuel and tuning have come a long way among other things.

New to the channel & you'll boyz are wild... those are some great pointers to make 1000 hp....

When are you going to talk about building a 100hp engine?

Might want add a dab of grease to that engine stand, makes spinning it over a breeze.

Good video for guys that's just starting out! We seasoned guys ain't got the patience to watch this whole video at least I don't Peace out😣

Love your content dudes!

Lego hair- that was golden!

That sahara themed toolbox is very nice

I remember you were scared of the Cowmaro first time driving it. Look at you Now👍

Damn that's a badass Banner

I learned so much in this vid mayne I appreciate it.

i love 427 for my 2002 camaro ss t56

I have what Texas Speed calls the "Leeroy 1.0" 427 shortblock which has their forged crank, super I- beam forged steel rods, Wiseco pistons, heavy duty wristpins, all ARP hardware, Trickflow 225 GenX CNC cathedral heads, 9.65:1 compression, Fast 102, FAST 85 lb/hr injectors 238/242- .595/.595 camshaft, F1A Procharger, ridiculously large air to air intercooler, stock ECU, 6 speed GTO.

466 cuin BB Ford with 1050 Dominator carb. with Mallory distributor! I watch this channel to learn about "modern" engines.

love the LS platform.. got one in my miata, e36, and e46 m3 :) biggest numbers are the miata at 545hp LQ9 with a progressive 150shot

First time seeing your channel and absolutely love it bro. Most videos have foul language and horse around so much it gets boring, but your video pull the audience in! Thumbs up on your career in building and racing.

2014 Silverado high country L86 6.2 lingenfelter heads Texas speed cam 223/237 635 lift less 116. Real strong motor with 3:73 gears

Your channel is awesome

I just subscribed this is a badass KZfaq Channel!!

I've got a dirty 6.0 that is a comeback story. Shot a rod out of the oil pan but didn't scar nothing. I would love to make it into a 408 stroker but I don't have the funds. I'll be buying one used piston and rod. Then rings and bearings and slapping it back together

I have a gen 3 ls1 aluminum block with a 4 inch eagle crank with eagle rods and mahle pistons and some speed master/pro comp 225 cnc heads. Brian tooley 235/242@50 cam

Assuming your using a flat top piston, at what boost pressure do topfuel hoops need to be used?

Don’t let the internet tell you that you can get 6.2 long block for $200-300 bucks either.🤔

Good to see John got that mop trimmed up. Lol

Can you make a Start to Finish DIY 1000hp Engine build?

Freedom factory for the win

🤣😅😂 i almost choked on my pudding when you said copyrighted by lego. but i love this channel currently boring a iron block 5.3 to a 5.7 with 253 heads and 4l80e trans.

Hah so crazy i ended up on this video. I grew up with Joe C from DCF me and him are broskis for life. Grew up in Wyoming together.

You don't have to pull the pan to get the pickup tube off. 8mm ratchet wrench and a piece of fishing line to keep the bolt out of oil pan does the trick.

Well I got that 325 cubic inch 5.3 vortec got the iron block got the lm7 aluminum heads I'd like to bore it out 30 over and then put a stage 2 cam in it from Texas speed and performance/ or Brian tooley racing /or a big comp cam /all new timing gears and timing chain crank shaft pushrods and of course the valve springs and much much more I'd like to do to it definitely

Good shit fellas.. Turn the block over when you're pulling the cam out tho

good video my brother..

LQ9 6.0 block, summit Pro LS forged rotating assembly,custom grind turbo cam,TBSS intake,120#injectors,ported 799 heads w/stock rockers ,hardened pushrods, dual springs,ls7 lifters,single 78mm turbo. On e85 with 19 psi made 1089 hp @ crank....build cost approximately $6500. Plus machine work.

The LEGO hair had me dying!!!😂

Nice video what CAMSHAFT you put on it??

The LEGO hair 🤣🤣🤣 but great content

Thanks, starting 3rd gen build, 20 yrs. coming. Ls swap.

all the texas speed crank is is a re balanced resurfaced and cleaned stock crank :/ $800 for something most machine shops can do for $250

My father n I got a 350 small block 4th gen vortec block.. We are using the stock crankshaft but we installed comp cams (thumper) .512/498 roller @ .50 lift, 1.6 rockers, double roller chain timing chain, 202 heads w/64 cc chambers, roller lifters, victor jr high rise intake adding an adapter plate square under a Holley 750 double pumper. We’re also adding MSD ignition box n coil w/the MSD racing distributor. We also added electronic fuel pump n filter backed with a 700r4 w/a 2400 stall speed from b&m n 373 gear.. I want to add some better pushrods other than the stock ones.. What do u guys think n what can we do to make it even better

If starting from new and you've got some coin go with a b15 and a mag tvs and you will get your 1000 hp. You can even do it with a non blower cam. Big Power low boost

Mike Henson the plan b owner is machining my ls3 with power bore sleeves for a 4.125 bore forged rotating assembly and comp cam rocker arms with a stage 3 Texas speed boost cam

I wouldn't let these guys build a lawnmower engine!

Start with a custom block from Dart unless you want to pop head gaskets at that power level!

So I just ls swapped my 99 two door Tahoe with a stock 5.3 what’s the best way to do a turbo set up

Det boy said my guy got da LEGO haircut 💇‍♂️😂🔥

Does the aluminum block hold up to big hp with stock sleeve?

Comment what engine setup Im running? Well a stock cummins thats in the process of being swapped... Not sure how I got here haha but great videos!

It's soo simple - he goes to TKM for his engines, the ones he feels good about putting in his own vehicles.

My grandfather always said build it right once not bad 4 times . He also said you may get 150 miles a hour out of a motor but how many times will it do it is the real question.

getting all the parts for my l9h- 2010 gmc 6.2 1500 pickup-- doing a build stock crank, arp rod bolts, forged pistons, stage 2 turbo cam, vvt delete, black bear tune and soon to be 78/75 from vs racing-- any ideas- like to play but is dailey driver and a lot of towing for all the toys...

That looks like a 6.2L VVT truck engine that someone was running with a chinese Ebay turbo kit. I have a L99 6.2 in my living room with 153,000 miles on it that looks pristine inside and out aside from a snapped rod and destroyed piston from a hydrolock. Whatever this engine was, it was run very hard and dirty.

I've got a 2003 Silverado SS with the stock 6.0 L and want to do some mods. What first after headers? I've got a cold air intake by Volant and a SuperChips tune in it now.

So what you’re saying is stock cam lifters and heads reuse all bolts and push 30 pounds of boost 👍

Newbie question: I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado that has a 5.3L Vortec engine. Is that the same as a LS? Different? Is it worth keeping to rebuild and swap into a car? Or should I look for a LS1, LS2, LS6, etc?

125hp per cylinder is simple, eh? Sign him up!!!

John what is your opinion on teflon coated pistons?

I near pissed myself laughing at the LEGO copyright comment...Peace from OZ

I plan on spraying a shit load of nitrous what compression should i use ? Building a street grudge car with a double fogger and a plate system . Callie’s crank titanium robs and lifters Gonna be a good 4.90 car in the 660

I have a 6.0 ls cast iron block truck engine out of a 2008 2500hd. Do I need to sleeve it? Or is it only the aluminum blocks they recommend sleeving?

4.8L or 5.3L LS with a 383 Stroker kit and twin smaller turbos for a heavier daily driver truck. Would this be a realistic possibility?

What kind of cam do you recommend duration lift and Lsa

Love Yoo see a shop full of GM in Honda cars lol

You should build ls nasty long blocks and sell them ready to drop in..

I'm curious in ur engineu said 416 stroker did u add stroke to yours or what i know its bored over just curious I'm wanting to build a 6.0 or 6.2 but i want to drive mine some not alot but will be drag racing mostly my budget is 6k including a holley efi system it's possible i may go over budget lol if so may take a while longer but love ur car its wicked fast

What psi is old mate running with those flat top pistons I’m guessing it’s quite high Compression ratio.

What about the trans and rear end though to hold that power

What kind of transmission are you running with this I’ve got a VE SSV HOLDEN COMMODORE with the L76 with the DOD delete but I’m also running the 6L80E automatic transmission what would you do with the transmission to keep up with the 1000HP ?

This dude sounds just like Jonah Hill

This is what I’ve been thinking of doing over this winter, upgrading my rotating assembly. I have a stock LS3 now, gpi cam, and 150 shot. Already have 1400hp DSS rear, McLeod rxt twin disk, and some other goodies. Basically it’s ready to put 1000+hp down besides the bottom end and the trans. Haven’t set yet on the trans if I want to keep it stick and get a built tr6060 or go th400

hey guys do have problem with broken bolts in the exhaust manifold on the 6.0 ls /how do you take out the broken pieces from the head. ?

Why Holley when go tuners works so well?

is something about engines that calm me down¨3.56

I say lifter tick is actually the start of rod knock caused by wear and using too light of engine oil; I say use straight 30 weight oil to prevent rod knock and wear. I know this since works on my 77 Blazer 4-speed spread ratio, you can get in low rpm lugging a little, 30 weight stopped fixed that problem, really! Know it alls can keep talking but forget them princesses!

Yo John whats up man so I’m in works of pulling my motor and rebuilding it soon but wanted you’re opinion of which cam i should go with? My truck is an Ls 6.0 chevy 1500hd so far i have ls7 lifters and Tsp 7.400 pushrods honestly just looking to put some HP to a 20year old truck it’s my daily so definitely not racing it lol

You need to tell everybody the prices of those cranks, rods and pistons.
