New 2023 Episode! Pat and Frankie put together a highly polished/high-performance pump gas stroker street rod engine that has both the show AND go!
Engine Power embarks on the Pro LS Bottom End Build project. What started as an iron LS block from a salvage yard transforms into a power-packed 410 cubic inches beauty, filled with fury. We selected an LQ-9 short block to accommodate the big bore that we needed for this project, along with a line of parts specifically created for the LS platform.@PowerNationTV

That's really a fairly big cam for a street engine
Pat and Frank, you guys are the best!!! Keep up the good work and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks!!!👍😸
I kind of get the feeling they were going for a LS 409 CID but 410 was the closest they could get
Frank almost has as much crap in his pocket as Pat. Must have been promoted.
If the LS3 is already controlled via electronic fuel injection, why would an aftermarket ECU need to be utilized for the ITBs?? 35:15
I think It's time for a Chevy i6 from a 1 st gen. Trailblazer
If you had good quench, you may have over 600 hp. ?
I drill, and ream the covers and install a 250 hard steel pin, so you have locating pins in the block before ever removing the front and rear covers just like gen. 1 sbc ! Saves you from buying tools that you may use once!
I did all that monkey work with a torque gage only too find out you can torque the mains to 65ft.lbs. because that what it comes to !!
Main removal tool ? How about a manually operated impact generating device, AKA, a hammer?
No quench?😊
Seeing how wonderful this LS turned out, is it better than the "LT" engines?
The ford 351 that 40 years old tech with 410 stroker with no we’re near the money put in it basically made the same lol
Can an aluminum block LS1 and/or LS2 be stroked to 410ci?
You’re supposed to put “heat tabs” on the freeze plugs. 😂😂
Pat … you’re missing couple of pens from your pocket.
It would take me 2 million dollars in parts and equipment and time to do all this lol fun to see though
Chinese Musser Car Engrin
Talk about an ABSOLUTELY linear power curve. Yeesh. That's a very clean slope.
I got a question….
Can the same combination or similar, be applied to a ls 383ci. stroker with the same intake and about 10.5-1 compression?
And still have similar results!
Youth with no background. Sigh, also.
That will put it to the ground nicely.
My ls2 403 stroker with a ysi head laid down over 500 ft lbs of torque at 2600… Absolutely zero traction. Hated it because it ruined the average light to light and made my car a 70 roll only. My mistake
I would love to see a 100+ HP per liter "moon-tune" full send N/A build one day (in this case, 600hp for a 6.0L). I know the LS7 from the C6 Z06 can get there somewhat easily, but seeing it in a 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, or 6.0 would be awesome as well.
Id love to see yall build a ford barra for 600hp
I think this is the most gorgeous engine you guys have ever built. As far as I am concerned I don't really care about the rest of the car. The engine is the heart of it all. Kudos to you as well as your sponsors (especially ARP).
31:15 Valley cover plate and valve covers.
Man I wonder how much they charge to build your engine definitely worth it
What kind of map sensor set up are they using for the individual throttle bodies they kind of just glossed over that
LOL, Every guy who looks at that motor in whatever it ends up in is gonna say – "Hey Cool! Blue lights!"
That LS looks like it would be at home in a gasser style build
Why is the power so low at first pull
That was disappointing tbh. Buddy of mine has an 06 GTO with high compression bottom end (still 6.0) big cam, and LS3 top end, and it pulled 528 to the wheels, about 620hp at the crank
What does ls mean
19:40 why didn't they use ARP main bolts? 24:40 You advance the cam to pick low end but you use ITB which know for top end power.
LOL. you said "nifty" Frankie. You're darn tooting right too. That's a sweet balance that long ago wouldn't have been messed with. The only thing you n Pat need is a Spintron. I'd like to see a comparison of dyno runs between this ITB vs A long tube plenum intake both being mpi basically it's the airflow that will show up.
Is that not hilarious … I've NEVER in all the time I spent watching these two ever seen either one of them "LEAN" on anything but looking at them one could easily see they have spent some time leaning against something . NOT exactly He Man material …
You balanced without the flywheel? And why didn't you through the dampener on the front to get a good reading with that after all was said and done? I don't want to harp on you guys, but those double and triple checks can be the difference a masterpiece and a giant paperweight.
Real fun doesn't begin until you pass 11k RPM. 800hp turning at close to 20k is pure sex and addiction
