"This is a low-buck, budget build" **cuts to scenes using $100k of specialized engine rebuilding tools and machinery**
-
Plus ignition system, plus carburetor, plus headers, plus cylinder head machining, plus fluids, plus gaskets, plus sensors,etc, etc,
-
Well in your cost rundown you forgot a few things that affected the outcome. # 1 Carb, # 2 headers, #3 Plug Wires, #4 Electric Water Pump, # 5 All the new sensors, # 6 Cost of Hot Tanking engine block twice, #7 MSD Ign. module. I see them doing this on all their builds.
-
The most unrealistic part of this is none of those header bolts breaking when you took them off with an impact lol
-
never open up a junkyard LS. You let out the magic.
-
“The clips are easy to remove” notice his knuckles are busted and bleeding😂
-
"All of the factory harnessclips are easy to remove" right as they show footage of his bloody knuckles 😂
-
Digging the colour choice, boys. I spent 3 solid years working on nothing but Detroits. Brings back a few memories and a few cuss words.
-
"Get big power gains on a low cost junkyard ls. All you need are these highly specialized machines that all cost 3 to 10 grand a piece and replace everything that makes getting a junkyard ls appealing"
-
Do it again with a torque wrench, a toolbox, and some sandpaper.
-
I've never overhauled a 5.3. My expertise is on old small block chevys. I learned a lot on top of what I already learned by watching other 5.3 videos. And the Rock Auto commercial tells me these guys are for real. I'm almost ready to buy a salvage engine and take a shot.
-
Anyone one remember the old Hot Rod Tv show or The Old Horsepower show? Those were the good days.
-
pshh, this is fake. not 1 exhaust manifold bolt broke during disassembly.
-
You could get the exact same results by just a cam swap and intake upgrade on a bone yard engine most of the other stuff they did was unnessassary
-
I've built many junkyard found engines by hand using nothing but a well calibrated torque wrench, good quality bearings and piston rings, new pumps/gaskets, some Plastigage, and some common sense. You don't necessarily need all of these machine shop tools to rebuild a stock engine, you just need to know what you're doing. For instance, I built a B18B1 (1.8L DOHC non-VTEC Honda engine) and after break-in it put down 409 whp on an eBay GT3582R turbo.

i had 2001 suburban 4x4 with 236,000 miles that ran great. when i changed the plugs there were no electrodes left on them and i only had a slight flutter on cold start up, so i can attest to those strong coil packs! great engines for sure. unfortunately someone wanted my truck so it was stolen but, at least they got a smooth running truck!
-
They left out at least 50% of the cost. I’m pulling my 250k mileage 5.3 from my Silverado to put into my 67’ Biscayne. I’ll probably upgrade it to a 5.4 327 (as long as it’s not dead lol) but finding a budget build is hard. They’re all like this video. I’d like to see them do a true budget build without crazy tools. Just power wash it and change some fluids.
-
I'd like to see this retested with the fuel injection and a tune. I feel like not many people buying junkyard ls stuff are going to do a carb swap.
-
They forgot to say that you have to have 15 pens in your shirt pocket in order to do this build correctly
-
This is all good stuff. When I went to Diesel/Auto school back in 1989 to '91 we were a select few who knew these sorts of things about engines. You are still missing some details but for the most part this makes much of what used to be a specialty and took a long time to learn more common knowledge. Plus you get tens of thousands of know it alls commenting on everything you do and say!
