I bought this fire damaged C6 Corvette sight unseen from the salvage auction SOLELY because it had a supercharger hanging off the front..
My plan? Make enough money salvaging parts frim the rest of the car so that I get the 6.2l LS3 engine and blower for FREE!

Just something to think about. Firefighting foam that would be used on a car fire is very corrosive to aluminum, and most things really. I wouldn't be too concerned with most of the parts you're pulling off the car except for places where it could have pooled, or very thin aluminum. I'd pressure wash everything just to be on the safe side. You'll see suds if foam was used. Also, if it gets inside electronics they are pretty much destroyed. Good job on wearing a mask, or respirator. You don't want to breath that stuff. Great content as always.

As soon as I saw those bent pushrods, I thought “They only get THAT bent when something hits the valves”. There aren’t a lot of things that can hit the valves…. Yikes! That is one BLOWN UP motor!

The 1500SL and V2/V3 TI on the 240 are the same exact blowers. Vortech makes them for Paxton They max out at about 850whp on a LS motah.

Super professional Mr. Lee C! Guys all over E-Bay, Craigslist, Facebook Market selling Corvette "screws, nuts, bolts basic JUNK you can buy at Lowes or HD. As you said, "dead inventory". I wonder how the people in some of those wrecks survived after looking at those cars. One of your great strengths is your crew and your tenacity to stay focused.

"There's malace in the combustion palace!" - Eric from "I Do Cars" I think a rod broke setting off a catastrophic domino effect with a piece of metal that went in the timing chain, throwing off timing and destroying the valves too. P.S: "I'm sure it happened at low RPMs at idle" - Eric from "I Do Cars"

@juddsanders8764 3 ай бұрын

I also subscribe to the I Do Cars channel. After they showed the holes in the side of the block, I wondered if Eric was going to appear (as if this would have become a collaborative video). Eric comments often about not having very many details about the specific vehicles the engines he tears down came from.

@alexjackson936 26 күн бұрын

My guess was as soon as one of the pistons let go, everything met such high resistance that it jumped time causing even more collisions smashing everything to bits. Not very knowledgeable on ls motors though, so probably way off. Gotta love someone who had that much misplaced faith that a stock block would hold up to that much abuse.

hey scraplife team i was just curious. I live in the Detroit area and was wondering if car salvaging is a consistent profit, or is it like stocks where you gain and loose money. my friend and i have been wanting to do this for a while and have been considering it. If we decide to do it., do you have any tips and tricks that yall can give us to get a good start on all of this? BTW... If you respond thank you so much.

I am willing to bet!!! This motor had stock ring gap!!! Everyone that says ls motors can’t hold power… it’s because of ring gap!! When boosted, the heat created causes rings to expand past the “stock ring gap” and causes the piston to get stuck in the cylinder and… BOOM! If this person would have took the motor apart and made the ring gap larger, it would have handled 1000hp!! All day! Can’t win them all!!

Harbor freight has a hydraulic jack table for like a thousand pounds lifting capability for like a couple hundred bucks. Instead of laying on your back you could have it at waist height. The table has a hydraulic top so you can lift it up underneath the car so you can basically stand under there and get that done as opposed to laying on your back But you do have a welder so I'm sure you can figure out how to weld two of them together 😂 I'll give it a much wider platform so you can make sure nothing falls off
