JUNKARD LS 6.0 ready to make 1000hp for under $1000 

It's not a 1000$ build if you have a pile of leftovers from 20 cars that you had to pay or trade for parts. I've got no money in my drift car because I sell Mercedes parts but it would cost a small fortune to buy all the parts.

I am looking forward to seeing how this build does. I am a Holley guy. I just got my Holley 105mm TB 112-591 along with my new black Holley billet elbow 300-253. My 598 f3-130 bbc on a real mild tune made 2200 rwhp. I am getting ready to build my first V30 128 vortech powered LSX 482.

Rewatching this in 2024 and im geeking, these vids are hilarious 😂 also super cool to see how far you’ve come to today

Didn’t realize LS head bolts could be reused after being torqued considering they are torque to yield bolts

Running at 500° with no oil change for four years, that’s a good engine

Ben is so right! And yesssss to polished valve covers!!!

One side of nitrous plate for gas to start it then the other side for fuel enrichment.

1000 horse ALL DAY LONG !!!!!!!!! Hell yeah BUDDY !

That was from lack of Maintenance that was from possibly running some low coolant running cheap oil filters and run into cheap paraffin based all engine oil like they sell at the corner store. Or running Pennzoil for Quaker State both of those are some very cheap oils.

Hit like if you would LOVE to see the #LSNASTY crew build a Donk and see what they have against the experienced donk Teams!

Yes. What brand is that water pump ?

What's the new purple egg mattress

Now if we could just see it on the dino so we can get proof that it'll put out a 1000 horsepower

How do u make that much power for that cheap leave all the info in the description so I can build one

John doc do you always use ls7 lifters?

u gonna paint block and shine heads

what is a vehicle position sensor ? do u need one of those?

I think you forget the 40 billion taxpayers have pumped onto GM the past ten years if you add up the bailout cost and the 3 billion a year corporate welfare we give them every year as they brag on making up to 7 billion dollars in profit. Add that to the cost.

High gear is the truth!!!!

How tall is the super vic with holley elbow from the valley cover? Thanks

so how much was that intake?

Or and I know this is a crazy idea but you could just get a torque wrench for the rockers 🙄

Lol I don’t think this was a 1000 dollar build if he had all these expensive parts laying around in his shop

My name is Corey rivers how can I get in touch with you I like you guys work

Dude your combination makes a 500 HP if your lucky and the Shit doessnt blow right in your face , if you set it up with a Pro Charger your Budget will be more like 6000 plus ... I never saw Trash makes reliable Horsepower ... Good Luck with that , and keep your Distance when you fire that Fucker up :-))

Your kidding me right. That’s not how to tighten rocker arms.

That's what you call a Pennzoil motor... crusty oil build up!

WTF 😂😂 I wanna see this😂

Until the cam snaps at the new weak points at high rpm, becauee ause you didn't replace it, and the heat creates cracks and the thing explodes! 🤣🤣🤣 Ooo cant wait!! 😊😊😊😇

Ive noticed something, he does a LOT of talking but someone else is always ends up doing the work. Smart management skills right there. :)

Got catfished into this video saying all that power for $1,000 😂😂

Officer: Sir have you been drinking Doc: no just my truck Officer: well you were going a little fast back there Doc: yeah the truck is a heavy drinker

Hands down! I have been working on internal combustion engine for over twenty years now and I’ve seen the insides of a lot of of them and that sludge is from lack of oil change 100%! I don’t care what anyone says!

$1k build as he proceeds to put a $3k + intake and Efi setup..

I died when Ben dropped the pushrod, said 5 second rule and stuck it back in. 😂

Used head bolts. Used head gaskets. Used timing chain looser than....... When this thing blows up. You seen it coming

John: oh new water pump maybe it overheated Everyone who became an ls engine expert 2 hours ago: actually sir it clearly reached 500°.

I mean do people not realize water pumps take a shit from time to time. Change em on trucks all the time.

1000 gay annoying camera holder

Ben likes his engines like he likes his women, Dirty! LMAO (John pin this comment)

Ppl are going to say Those heads are not stock! They are the same thing as aftermarket heads! Because they’ve had a valve job and been milled .005 and because I say so and I am butthurt about the fastest stock 5.3 block. They probably won’t say that last part but for sure the first part.

Just love how everyone is such an expert in RU-vid comment section! Most of them prolly have never changed their own oil let alone built an engine etc.. F#ck'em lol

john why you get all messed up over comments just it will be fine and by the way and hope you marry Christmas to ya

I just upgraded from a 4.8 to a 6.2 0.20 over pistons, aglin lifters, btr stage 2 turbo cam with dual springs, lsx intake, 92mm tb and a big turbo

Not overheating. No oil changes. I had a 69 Ford Galaxy with a 390 that never had a oil change in 20 years. Bought it from a 80 year old man the original owner. When I pulled the covers off it has sludge so thick the rockets had groves in the sludge. Engine ran fine.

It will last for a few problematic runs and BOOM! GET REAL! U guys are so dense!

John Doc the cleanest hands on RU-vid, lol

Jon! Ben's got no . Both of u will be seen on a new south park episode especially been and his EMMMMMK! LOL KEEP ON ROCKIN THE JYARD BUILD SEND THAT BITCH TO THE MOOOOOOOOON EMMMMK

Where is phil and the fuel tech. I wanna give him the gap

That's from lack of oil change. I bought a 1981 buick LeSabre 400$ never overheated, I pulled the valve cover and it had tar build up. Still never overheated when I drove it. Lack of oil change.

But you guys got a lot of stuff for free right or at least in trade? So it's not like you had to start with an empty engine stand and $1,000 in your pocket and come up with a thousand horsepower engine on the stand, is that correct? Because I would love to do it, I got a thousand bucks and an empty engine stand so yeah I would love a thousand horsepower engine on it !! Awesome video and build can't wait to see how it turns out, thanks guys 👍🏻

WTG Ben! 5 second rule on the pushrod! 😂

30 minutes of this blah blah blah.... no way.. your not funny stop trying to be. nor are you a super genius thats discovered some magical thing that only you know how to do. this has been done before... you obviously dont know jack about engine building so just get to the point and get on with it ffs

Not doing oil changes will do that to your oil. It breaks down and eventually burns the oil. Ive seen it on a coworkers grand Cherokee where she had 50,000 miles and never once had the oil changed.

Is the way yall checked push rod length for real or yall playing

Yeah this shit ain't under 1000$ if everything is given to you don't get me wrong free parts are free parts! But this isn't under 1000$ build

Let me come over to get some help to throw some parts in my car I want a 1000hp or a little more in a ls1 5.7 gen3 corvette

Shit them heads will prolly make more hp's with the gunk in der. Extra lubrication..

Great video !! But we need more Ryan,wes & Brad participating in the fun, you need a ls nasty Christmas/ new years party @ the shop with brad grilling & Phil dressed as Santa

Soo its a 1000hp build under $1000 if you own a shop full of spare parts. Like they weren't expensive as hell new.

Yea bull crap before you even threw the intake on you were at 1000$ you would need 7k to do what you did... must be nice to have all those free parts

People u cannot do this for under grand impossible and he is very miss leading,let Ben talk about length just stick to filming doc

You can't challenge an Internet mechanic are you crazy they fixed things with the touch of a keyboard lmmfao

No need to blow off the dirt in "Risky Business" New guys to the business only see this as an experiment not industry standard.

Not changing oil or recycled oil cheap oil causes the oil to burn on the heads . I had a inline 6 cylinder engine exactly the same. So change your oil and use good oil.

Talk to much. Slow info. Ur not likeable... Get to the point and then u may have follower's

You're gonna be well short of 1K at the crank going this way. We took a 144K 5.3 out of a junk Yukon Looked at one rod and one main bearing used the stock accessories and added one ebay 76 mm turbo and came off the trailer at 10 psi and did a 6.30 did nothing else but tune her to run a best 18 months and 400 plus passes later at 5.60 and 24 lbs when we finally lost a piston from a aeromotive fuel pump that didn't live up to it's advertised potential.Pure junkyard stock we did use the Magasquirt that was new at 1300.00.

That's definitely a combination of both, but the major culprit is lack of oil change oil changes much later than they should've.

I can't believe none of you guys are not going to the big race Saturday! Do you not race any no prep events John? You know if you're going to go after Billy the kid your going to have to go to the streets or a no prep event! No glued down track there! 🦅🇺🇸🦅

Cross thread better than no thread. Best locktite they make lol

Dyno it. .. I know making 1000hp out of this motor is extremely easy to do and the bottom end is plenty strong enough to hold it.

Def want a water pump, since you said yall were wanting to make this truck a drag week/race week build...

Fuckin internet experts are hilarious you guys had me bustin up with the coolant temps 😂

This is click bait how to build a motor with 5000 dollars of left over parts and a 1000

I knew someone who did motors like this and they ran like a raped ape for about a week to 10 days.

Pu int two fuel tanks. One gas only for starting . Sure you thought if it. Just trying to encourage it

You forgot to baste it every twenty minutes 🤦🏻‍♂️

People out there should educate themselves before speaking sometimes or get another hobby lls

I understand trying to save some money but why half ass the shit out of everything?

They didn't put the cam on the base circle to adjust the valvetrain

Yeah I think you need a Chrome everything that you can that would be pretty funny I think it adds hundred more horsepower

I’ll give u $2000 for a built running 1000hp motor

If a rocker is really worn it wont center no matter how much u try

I see that Mitchell farms hoodie.. eastern NC right

aint no way yall jus installed the front cover like that

you didnt check for proper pushrod length or show us how to do it

I have An 01 Silverado 1500 LS pickup now It is 1 Owner Over 300k Miles on the Motor but I think is Time For an Upgrade .....What are Your Recommendation Should I Keep the 5.3 and Have Built ? And if So What Is Everything I need As Far as For Engine Components...... My other Question is ! ? What Year 6.0 Will Fit My Truck and What’s All I need to Make a Swap if Going that Route .... Should I go with LS1 or LS3 what’s The Difference on these 2 and I’m Looking for A Powerful reliable Engine as well on a Budget

Everybody has got to learn the hard way sometimes.... Can't hate on a pair of jokers for trying No doubt about it, that engine will make it to 1000..... RPMS. but will never see 4 digits for more than one pull.

Hey I thought pro chargers cost a little more than a grand

FYI LS7 lifters have .200 plunger travel . LS rocker bolts are .078 per 1 turn with 1.7 rockers. BTW any cam with .600 plus lift will need roller tip rockers. You will wipe out those trunnion upgrades without roller tip rockers eventually....

Anybody who knows about LS powered GM vans knows, the heat that is held in that dog house causes that slop to form in just about every one of them over 150k miles. Most times those vans were company vehicles and maintained regularly, but cheaply. The recycled Quickie lube oil doesn't hold up well in the underhood temps of those vans. I doubt it was overheated at all. Chances are it just got used up, traded in and nobody wanted to sell a van with high miles, so off to auction it went and ended up at the recycler. Run it! Like Ben said, it'll probably run forever.

Yeah not a 1000 build if you have 5k of left over parts dued..

I have been building race motors and cars along with all the past 40 years of owning my own shop... enough on my resume I'm just saying all that say that motor looks to be bbq. Are correct. Quick ? Were you boys even born when the ls base motors came to market back in 97

Why did you mill the heads? To square the mating surfaces, it to increase squish?

Shouldn’t all the bolts be torqued down to a certain pound, when building engines, or is it just tighten down to about just a turn? Trying to learn so I can attempt to build my own?

Who makes that water pump

How do you feel about prochargers for high hp ls we are in the process of building an x275 car and we are new to boosted stuff I know there is less work on prochargers when it comes to fabrication but I am worried about the strain on the crank it does have a callies dragon slayer crank

I'm not saying it's what happened to the oil, but cheap valve springs can actually get super hot when overworked. A spring that is not up to the task of a prolonged high rpm application can reach 500 degrees no problem.

Calls the video, make a 1000hp then proceeds to explain how they are going to put on a $4500 dollar pro-charger and that they are going to run alcohol which cost as well. On top of all that, the engine will be lucky to see 450hp.

I don’t think you could hang with the Nitrous guys... You really don’t have anything that comes even remotely close to Nitrous guys like Justin.
