Building a 1000hp LS engine!!! ITS SIMPLE!!!! 

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.

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

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

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 got a LQ4 (Gen 3 with Gen 4 rods), 5364 heads, P59 and getting a 4L80 soon... 3rd gen Camaro

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!

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.

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

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

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

Keep on keeping on JD!!!!

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

Love your content dudes!

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

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

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

5.3 stock crank ,texas speed I beam rods , wiesco pistons custom, btr 3 turbo cam, Johnson lifters, che trunion kit, arp 625 stainless headstuds looking to make 1200 on a 88mm vs racing squirrel cage

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

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

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

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.

I just subscribed this is a badass RU-vid Channel!!

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

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😣

That sahara themed toolbox is very nice

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

Damn that's a badass Banner

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.

Your channel is awesome

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.

Lego hair- that was golden!

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

Good to see John got that mop trimmed up. Lol

The LEGO hair had me dying!!!😂

🤣😅😂 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.

The LEGO hair 🤣🤣🤣 but great content

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

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

This is my first ever engine build at that 2003 LQ9 6.0- BTR stage 2 turbo cam (kit) Titanium valve springs LS7 lifters W/ trays LS9 head gaskets BTR gasket kit Mellon M295 ARP bolts (cam up) Edelbrock 7139 intake w/ fuel rails 92mm DBC TB MotionRaceworks steamkit Walbro 525 fuel pump Aeromotive 13139 FPR MotionRaceworks FPR mount 8an supply 6an return Delphi 80lb injectors Mightymouse catch can (Wild) MSD spark plug wires / NGK Plugs MSD Blaster coils Holley Terminator X Max Holley dual 3 way boost solenoids Holley 2 bar MAP sensor Huron speed T4 hotside- Huron speed 44mm Wastegate Huron speed BOV VS racing 7875 T4 turbo 1000hp intercooler

good video my brother..

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

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.

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

i love 427 for my 2002 camaro ss t56

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

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

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

Nice video what CAMSHAFT you put on it??

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

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

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.

Bro I died when he said his boy has the Lego haircut LOL 🤣

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

Have you done much supercharger stuff? What build would you recommend without going stupid with $$? Just for a street car occasional race. Thanks mate. For 800-1000hp. 👌

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

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

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

“I don’t normally don’t wear gloves” goober😂

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

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

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?

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!

Freedom factory for the win

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

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.

Watched a couple of your videos and gotta ask what's up with the little white Colorado in the background? I got a 2006 that on my list eventually when the factory 4 cylinder dies lol

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

Got a Dart Iron Eagle 9.5 deck 438 with a set of Yates c3 heads on two fogger systems one sprays 500 the other nvr goes over 300 and the OH SHIT button which is a plate kit under the carb has anywhere from 75 to 250 on it but it’s for emergency only lol I just ordered a Holley Terminator X system, I’m going fuel injected do for 1300 bucks it’s the best way to go in my opinion. After watching you guys and Turbo John I think Holley is the better setup outa all these jokers.

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

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

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

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

This dude sounds just like Jonah Hill

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

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.

Very informative and interesting video. Very well explained. 💯👍🏾

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

Omfg.. that Lego hair 😂😂😂😂😂😂

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?

I got a 99 c5 corvette with an ls1 110k miles on block. stock besides btr stage 2 boost cam, ls7 lifters, and Harland Sharp roller rockers. I want to finish it off with a new crank, rods, and pistons. Price is not an issue. I want the absolute best reliability with boost capability on pump gas no more than 1k HP. What do you recommend for my current setup/plans?

John what is your opinion on teflon coated pistons?

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

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

This video should be captioned "breaking down old beat up engine" zero building. Lol

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...

Do you guys build moters for people, and if so what are some ballpark prices ?

You know the stick shipwrecker is 701 with the Red Demon Mitsubishi

Ive got a 5.3 in a silverado im going to put a compound turbo setup on and shoot for 500- 600 on stock internals just to see how long it lasts 😂😂

Need a radio in your shop lol

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

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

is something about engines that calm me down¨3.56

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.
