Thank you very much!

Let’s not forget how friggen old these guys are either. Makes me feel like a real turd. Haha

Mercury Marine sells a 7.0 ls 4 quad motor

@@richardblanke5521 They sure do. Have ya had the chance to price one? They’re awesome but damn.

Thank you!

How much power do these engines make?

Absolutely, I have learned a lot hanging around Pete and Kevin. Both are 100% out of the box thinking when it comes to building engines,

Amen, brother.

Yes, very impressive body work on this hand made Marcel 34

Thank you for the positive comments and thanks for supporting the channel. Personal goal is to keep documenting everything that Pete and Kevin are doing . I have a 9-to-5 job so it’s hard to get over to the shop during the week to see all the cool stuff in action.

Glad to hear! Thank you for watching the videos - have a nice weekend! Greg

That’s awesome! Pete goes often to coffee and cars in Bonita

Couldn't agree more! thank you!

Guten Tag!

Thank you Lars! We miss you guys. Hope to see you back is California again soon! Hope all is well in Germany? Hey, since you work for Volkswagen, do you think you could get us a VW -W12 engine to play with? Take care Greg Q

Noted!

Yes it is! This thing is freaking awesome!

Hey, thanks Steve! Hope you are doing well in W Australia!

@@GregQuirin Small steps forward, in a work shop that can see 51 degrees celsious. Well beyond 100 Farenheight. 3rd summer of torture. Recon I might be changing some goals so as to invest in a monster roof top Air Conditioner. Not cheap but would make life and thinking more pleasant. Rather than constantly monitoring bodys hydration levels to avoid heat stroke. Such is life living with 40% kidney function.☺️

Glad you enjoyed it

You are so welcome! Thank you Greg

Thank you and nice to see this is making it to other parts of the World! I will post another video soon of a 2 valve LS conversion Pete and Kevin recently completed. Thanks Greg Q

Thank you, I enjoy making them and really appreciate folks like you who watch and support what Pete and Kevin are doing.

Thank you! Glad you liked the video!

We have some cool stuff we could show you of a good friend of Pete Aardema specializing in GM 8.1 look up Raylar 8.1 cylinder heads. Thank you Greg

Thanks you!

Thank you!

Life elevated!

I appreciate that! thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for subscribing! More videos to come soon!

Thank you!

6.2L is a great platform and a different experience with the 4 valve heads. This thing rips!

@@GregQuirin I bet it does. Them heads would be awesome to have. Is there anybody producing a comparable set of heads commercially?

Thanks for the idea! I will try to convince Pete for a Dyno session and see what he says.

Glad you enjoyed it! We will have more cool stuff coming out soon. Thank you Greg

Shop dog is part of the Aardema Braun family!

Why you point at Small Fast House With Round Feet and talk-talk-talk? Why you waste all time on Small Fast House With Round Feet? I want FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD!

We have purchased some on eBay and others at swap meets. You just have to keep looking. We usually spend about $2000 for a pair of heads, so they’re not cheap.

Yes I remember those were in the lumina weird looking van GM made.

I would guess to say yes, this is probably the only 6.2 4 valve LS conversion out there. Pete and Kevin recently completed a 2 valve OHC LS engine we will post here pretty soon. thank you Greg

Thank you! The camshaft sensor was challenging on this one. The cam sensor wouldn’t work off the driveshaft as it need to be 1/2 the speed of the crankshaft and perfectly in phase with the mechanical timing. Usually the camshaft position sensor on an LS three engine is in the timing cover triggered off of the sprocket. However, that was all changed out differently for the overhead cam conversion and none of the existing LS three cam timing architecture remained in place. I was able to do some research and find out where the Crank and cam sensor correlation was on a stock LS three, and I was able to find the exact spot to make it work for Pete.

@GregQuirin I am disabled. I can barely leave my place. But I would love to pick up brain and see that engine and how you have it set up. I have so much in my mind. I can't explain it to you cause I'm using voice text and I'm dislexic, but I was very fascinated by your video keep. Good work I don't know without heavy machine and being done on the cam. You might be able to run it on the other end of the cam that will bring it into the firewall Make it easier to hide. Since you have barely any room for a hood if you do so. But please do keep making the vid.You are one of the few people were actually Respond when I write to them. Most people Do not even respond unless you donate money. PS what about using The flywheel and put the sensor on that.? I think That Good work. On another thought.-,, what's .bout the hermanic balancer if you have room there. Just an idea, good luck. Let me know what you think. Good idea, Bad ideas. Good or bad you learn from them. So please keep me Informed. Thank you.

I dont know the RPM limits. Pete and Kevin have a 5L with the LT5 heads that turns up to 9000RPM on the track. Not sure what this one can do?

Thanks

Not sure yet, It needs more tuning before measuring HP. It does get up and goes and the car drives very well.

Yes there’s always gonna be something else that makes more power you could drop in. However, Pete and Kevin are true innovators and hot rodders. They have been doing this for a while. This is their golf game. Pete now has 37 landspeed records . This is really why they do what they do. Not to mention, they have the leading edge when it comes to this competitive racing which is all based off of their 4 valve cylinder head designs.

For that matter, why not a Ford Coyote or Modular? 4 cams, 32 valves stock, reliable, not expensive used, and lots of speed parts available. But of course Pete & Co. like to do things themselves.

Yes , Pete would like to sell it. You can message us from the Aardema Braun Facebook page. Thank you Greg

Pete's has lots of irons in the fire, we will see if fenders ever become a reality.

Thanks - it is a real driving machine!

No idea what the HP is? I will keep on Pete and see if he will consider a Dyno run.

@@GregQuirinany update?

Not yet, just added seat belts.

Both the Coyote and the Northstar can make good horsepower, but they are both long stroke small bore configurations. We like shorter stroke and larger bore. It makes more horsepower.

@@kevinbraun6272That’s not true. The Coyote is a square engine, equal bore and stroke, and the northstar, even in its reduced displacement race versions, was always oversquare with a larger bore, which is part of what allowed it to rev to 6400 rpm or higher when modified. The northstar isn’t really a bad engine at its core, they just designed the system as a whole poorly to where it had horrible reliability in most cases

Yes seat belts added recently - You know make it go fast first, then work on brakes and seat belts.
