We are a small group of motorsports/car enthusiasts that are here to show you a good time! We vlog about events we go to, track days we participate in, our dumb shenanigans, and much more!

Thanks for the “shoutout” in the vid. I’m the guy with the orange 300. I’m William from Southern Illinois and we’ll be back next year. Hope to see yours next year.
My 2000 v6 mustang faster than that without nitrous kit lol😂 just simple cheap mods like windstar intake swap coil packs headers duel exhaust 8:8 rear diff not welded I’m doing smokeouts not burnouts lol😂😂
I’m late to the party, found your video because I am dealing with the same issue on my LM7 build. Luckily I am putting in my cam first, did you end up replacing the cam bearing or did you fix it in another way. Curious, if I can pull it out to seat it differently or if the bearing itself needs to be changed again. Thanks for the great content. Glad to know I’m not alone.
I use the lever even though it is automatic along with the overdrive disabled it gives you better times, I do 6.5 seconds from 0 to 60, yes, it is V6, if you drive with overdrive activated like you obviously you will get bad times
Probably not a good angle and alot of singing like a sailor 😂😂😂. Anyways great content. I def subscribed and looking forward to what ur plans are for this motor and more videos to come. Anyways much love from Maryland❤❤❤.
Thanks for the sub! We are really excited to see what that motor can do this summer! We will try to get a good update video for everyone on the build once we get a chance!
On the cam retainer plate did you use any kind of rtv or silicone on the back side around the gasket? My oem seems to have some that I had to scrape off
I ended up using an upgraded 300zx style radiator and using those flexible cooling hoses. There should be a later video where I showed how it looked but I can't remember which one.
That’s a decent amount of assembly lube if you’re running .250 clearance on the mains. If you were running .0025-.0035, all that lube squeezed out of the sides.
That is a awesome color. I am working on my first Ls swap. I found a Ls3 block for $500 and a set of low mileage 821 heads for $300 so that kinda picked my engine for me lol. Otherwise it would have been a 6 OH. It's going in a 03' Crown Vic Police Interceptor. I love how the Vics ride and perform. It's just the engine is way too expensive to get 500 horse out of it reliable without dumpping alot of money on it. So Ls it is. I don't care what's under the hood as long as it's reliable and has some POWAH!!! Lol.
@@GrandPitoVic That's awesome! Sounds like its gonna be a ripper! Those crown vic chassis do handle extremely well, but like you said its hard/expensive to get any power out of those 4.6 motors. You'll be amazed at how much room you'll gain in the engine bay with an LS. Plenty of room for turbos in the future lol
So I don’t know, I’m watching you measure the bearing with the bore gauge and that’s great but I grew up putting mopars and chevys together and I was always of the understanding that you tighten the bearings in the rod once and never twice. We would measure clearance by deflecting the rod or tilting it and getting an angle to let us mathematically figure the assembled clearance. If you tighten the bearing in twice you could cause it to be spun later. I have also built engine using the double bearing set method, crush the first new set and then measure, discard and then put in the second set for race, no spun bearings this way. Of course your way may be just fine too.
I didn't see the thrust get set and there was no mention of the most vital part when going to studs, maybe the machine shop checked, align honed and set the clearances. If so I would throw a mention in the video to educate others, when going to studs from bolts it distorts the main bores enough to throw clearances out of spec. Good luck with the build/car, the performance world is a huge addiction.
Those 3.8s are really restricted the one i had in high school, we did a Ford windstar, air intake swap, headers and that gained like 30hp lol iwouldve loved to have turbo or supercharged it, but got a gt instead.
@brokeassmotorsportsohio I've barely seen anything done to a v6, would be worth throwing a cheap turbo and sending it haha! Look forward to future stuff!
You didn't mention it, but the sparkplug gaps are suppose to be closed up some starting with the 100 shot pull maybe even with the 75 shot consideringits a v6. Great vid though!
Thanks! Unfortunately I believe you would have to remove both just for the fact that the adapter bolts/trans bolts are pretty inaccessible once in. I do think that next time I pull mine (hopefully not for a long time) I will try dropping it out the bottom like an Fbody. Lowering it with the crossmember slightly might work in getting the trans out without fully removing the engine but I cannot confirm that.
I guess you already know that first gasket is up side down when I put mine together I didn't catch it until it was in, running and overheating. That was a pain
