I used to run a LSA blower on my stock bottom end 6.0. With a small blower cam and 13lbs of boost, my full interior 4,000lb Chevelle ran mid 10s on pump gas. It was a great little blower.
I’m amazed at how the internal combustion engine has changed over the last 30 years! More HP out of a small block! A super charger instead of a turbo charger! This is great 👍🏾!
sorry but i’m just curious, why drop all that cash on a little bore like that? seems bass ackwards to me with the numerous inherent gains of running a 4.125-4.200” bore w a shorter stroke
I attended SAM almost 10 years ago. Chris Bennett was an instructor when I was there. He was a super nice guy who was huge wellspring of knowledge. Now that you can actually get a degree I always think about going back.
The LSA just became my new favorite engine. Love the way they designed it! Especially things like the cam lifter clips to allow for changing the cam without a full teardown, and easily pulling four lifters out at a time. Beautiful design!
You do realize every LS based engine since 1997 is just like this not just the LSA…? Also the best and most used practice is to spin the cam then insert dowels in the oil galleries to hold the lifters in the cups when doing a cam swap, the reason they aren’t using dowels is because they are doing a complete tear down. Cam swaps in a vehicle without using dowels is asking to pull the pan.
So you have to be a mathematician, accountant, etc. I miss the good old days of pulling a 350 and building it with a buddy and a case of beer. Does this fit? Yep, will this work? Sure Dude 😎 it's too complicated nowadays
@16:17 DUDE…although I’m impressed, I don’t think you succeeded in capturing ALL. THE. PENS…in your shirt pocket. I mean, in my eyes you’re not “packin’ the pens” properly until you require a weight belt to prevent back injuries. I think they might teach a class on that at SAM…might want to check on that. 😳🤫🤨🤫😉🤣🤣🤣 🖖😎👍
On another video of a big block 427 they built, they said to use engine oil not assembly lube on the rings and pistons because you risk stripping the bores, now they say use assembly lube. I think everyone has different methods of building engines.
What about the oil squirters??? Did you guys remove them? With this stroker its should be an issue. I hope you guys reply as im building one now. Lsa and 88mm turbo
I know this is an old post but we removed the oil squirters on our ZL1 however I believe that there’s a set of pistons that have a notch to accommodate the squirters.
Same cross bolt mains as the legendary 1964 Hemi and the current Gen 3 Hemi. Just thought i would point that out to the Chevy boys and power nation. Power Nation loves to mention when any other manufactor has same designs sizes etc... even though Chevy was the last to offer a V8.
Nope. That's why GM didn't supercharge the 7.0 liter small block out of the factory...the cylinder bores were cut too thin to accommodate supercharging, and why the 6.2 was supercharged instead. These people are idiots on this channel.
@@amathern That does not matter...the engine block thickness is the same, to get a 7.0 litre displacement requires very nearly siamesed cylinders, since this is a SMALL block engine. This is why the 6.2 litre was used in supercharging by the factory, and not the 7.0.
@@robertcohen8554 So you think the people at SAM are idiots? The factory always plays it safe. Pat was wowing the Lunatic crank as good for 1500hp. So is the factory crank. Maybe for not as long, but definitely for consistent 4 digit horsepower. What they have is 2hp per cubic inch. Most definitely not unheard of on an engine with forced induction.
@@LTXwooshiea special build like this is obviously doable, (you can tune anything until it blows up in short order), though obviously it will be far less reliable long term. Mechanics build an engine to last one race, or an engine that has astronomical boost, or an engine that is tuned FAR past any reasonable point of reliability, so that's my point.
I have a set of CNC'ed LSA heads and 1/2" head bolt holes that where done by PRC on my 402 ls2 based setup in my 99 Z28 it's got Summit Ls pro crank rods and Pistons a Holley low ram with 16 Bosch 210's and a 91mm Garret gt5591 with a FI billet wheel Holley EFI and lots of methonal m1 this season I'm gonna give m5 a try I went to a 15gpm pump in November from a 12gpm mechanical pump. When ever I kill this ls2 block I'm gonna give a LSA or ls2 block a try unless I can get a nice aluminum dart block but so far I've threw 32 pounds of boost at the little half filled ls2 and been a bunch of 5.0's and 1 4.99 with a 4 at 143mPh in the 1/8 at 3300 pounds RW if I had to guess a HP number it's gotta be close to 1300whp and I got another 6 or 8 pounds of boost And a little timing to throw at it. I am very surprised and happy with how stout summits Ls pro stuff is my motor has been together about a year I lost count of how many pass's it has on it I do know over half are above 1100hp and 7800rpm and when I freshend it up in November every thing looked nice and clean. With it being my second build since I quit running sbe stuff i spent alot more money on machine work,bearings and hardware than I did on my first motor I built and it definitely shows but maybe one day I'll have me a 427 lol hopefully before our dictator Joe Biden or someone else from the U.s communist party I mean democrat decides to ban non EV forms of transportation!! LoL
So glad you felt the need to let everyone know your disgust and lack of adblock. I'm sure it'll benefit everyone here who doesn't leave because we're not attention whores.
Don't forget it also has to meet strict emissions standards, and help meet corporate average fuel economy goals. OEMs are under a lot of constraints that the aftermarket simply doesn't worry about.
@@Joel_E exactly. I am a Gale Banks fan but what he is accomplishing on the Killing a Duramax series isn't possible for the street because of emissions. Plus most people can't handle half that power.
Guys, you replaced pretty much everything but the chain guide and the oil pan! Other than the block, there's nothing left of that LSA, and that is NOT cool! I had hoped you'd show how to get the stock LSA up to 1,000 HP by modifying the stock parts, not gutting the engine and replacing pretty much everything in it!
Right and of course they always have some fancy new part for them every day while the rest us get stuck with the same parts molds passed around like the local lot lizard. Love my LS's and would use them on many different things but they have like 40 billion different combinations for everything that all work along with every other V8, it's just overkill. In this day in age if you have a V8 and don't know what to do with it, just put the bloody tools away and sell them. Get a desk job.
