Which number castings did you use. Beware, 706 heads with a "battery" looking emblem are prone to cracking near the inside 3 head bolts. Google 706 Castech heads.

Also cleans the paint off

Heat a bucket of water up to 200 degrees and place the water pump in it . After a few minutes see if the water pump’s impeller slips . This PTG fuel pump’s leaking AFC will score # 6 liner . ISX-15 engines will move to 225 degrees before fan drive engages . The most dangerous person in the world is a truck driver with a toolbox equipped with a sharp pointed test light . There are alignment marks on the oil cooler core to the housing . Broken piston cooler nozzle will drop oil pressure . You will be happier with the N-14 over the ISX . Replace the N-14 engine wiring harness .

What engine was in truck before the big cam??

Thay looks like a shit💩 .load of stop leak, you probably siezed one of the rear cyl more & likely #6 . When a engine siezes they will ouit running , let sit * cool off then it will run again until you get it hot again . The damage is done😢

I saw you a month ago west of sylvaina. I was in a green w900 l flat top with a white bunk pulling a step deck.

Wait, almost died? Bless you. Take care man.

Piston cooler spray tube.

Love this ! It’s like I’m watching my own Shop. This is the way I was taught to do things.

Good move brother

Kinda seen this coming. Hopefully you can get it back on the road asap driv,ah

I had an 855 that did the same thing , over heated , cooled off and started again and drove . Number 3 cylinder developed piston slap, every other stroke had a knock, not a double knock like a rod

I ran a Honda p28 ECU on my small block ford for 15 years. Not many tuning options in the late 90's early 2000's.

I've been doing research on a budget 318 turbo efi build and boom you show up on my feed

👍

That poor transmission 😂It never did anything to anyone to deserve that.

The non catalyst 1981-1982 Ford 400 and 351M engines in trucks and Vans had a Crank Position Sensor Duraspark III. You could take the whole feedback carb off of it, and the ECA ( electronic control assembly) would still allow the ignition to function even if the fuel system was off line. The GM Powertrain guys, obviously had the same native cunning from 1997 onwards🥝✔️🇳🇿

That's a cool little test some! And yes, many OE ECMs will run without a cam signal. It will try the two choices of cam positions based on crank position. Good info to share for those playing with combinations

Find a junk automatic transmission and just cut the bellhousing off of it or leave it on there whole. Is it the same pattern as a SBF?

Those are the headers I am going to run on my Ls3 03' Crown Vic swap. I've heard from others that he done a Ls swap on a newer Ranger and has a Vic. He says they look like they will fit. If they don't I'm only out about $90 after tax. They look like they will fit. The s-10 swap headers I'm pretty sure the ones that won't are the ones that loop # 6 cylinder over #8 cylinder tube.

Do what you do, keep moving forward.

There's alot of circle track parts that do exactly as your speaking for starters

Save those for fieros

Tank girl! Hell ya

Very good. I like it alot please keep the updates coming on it.

Go gettem Dickie

That starter mount will never line up the starter properly. You need the bellhousing and shim plate, and the plate can't be deformed at all, since it's the only thing that properly lines up the starter position. Also, I've never seen a flexplate with that bolt issue before, with oem flexplates or aftermarket, such as Pioneer. The flexplate only bolts on in one position, since it's vital to get it right so the imbalance weight is clocked correctly. I wouldn't even start the engine until the flexplate is installed correctly.

youtube.com/@fanatikbuilds?si=_vp359bei81U_D4W This guy was pitting a ls4 in his and went through some hoops for the transmission

🥝✔️

Pilot bearing you say is standard of the shelf unit...so of the shelf unit for regular 5.3? Or have what parnt number you used?

What you do to properly space out clutch and clutch slave? Did you use spacer on clutch slave if so what size? I know fabbot sells different size clutch slave spacer depending what version of the AR5 you use to LS swap using 4l60e bellhousing. Wonder depth of Dakota bellhousing compared to 4l60e, maybe a fabbot clutch master spacers can be used in this swap....!?!

Cool deal. Ive been curious about it.

There's a guy that put an LS4 in a Triumph. That might be who you are thinking about. His starter solution starts at about the 16 minute mark on this video: th-cam.com/video/-USY3ubm6sE/w-d-xo.html

Nice

I have an 80 town coupe with the iron duke, might keep it in there, thanks for the info

if you havent solved it before you can use a borgwarner sbf t18 bellhousing and instead of a fexplate use 2 thick washers inbetween the starter flanges and bellhousing, i use this on my 300 i6 setup and my 308 v8 and it works

I would have used a 4k pressure washer on it after you took it out of the electrolysis bath.

To agitate, use a fish tank air pump, hose and airstone. It will keep it moving. How rusted that block was, you probably need to change out the water solution. Pressure wash the block at that time before tossing it in a fresh solution.

2023?

Guys I dug up a 401 Buick nail head motor , it was buried under ground for 25 years, a good friend told me about it when he bought his house, It looked like your motor, I have a 275 gallon home heating oil tank that I cut in half, I filled it with old oil put the motor in for a week, I boiled the motor wood fire under it, the motor freed up, I rebuilt the engine and was in my 65 skylark for years , till I sold it, back in 1992, you can do the same thing to that motor

The "black stuff" on the block is Magnetite. It's a form of Iron oxide. More properly, Iron (II, III) oxide. It will prevent flash rusting as it is itself a form of "rust"

Did you swap out the head for the Pontiac HD head I saw in a previous video? I'm following the 2.5 build with a lot of interest!

Did you put baking soda in it

I am just saying this with out watching your video, I would leave it in there for at least a week. That motor was pulled out of a lake or it was buried under ground for 20 years

I never thought to use one of those stitch cutters for the split loom. I spent forever cutting and unwrapping the stock harness in my personal twin turbo 300. No LS head (yet).

Thanks a bunch

Will this engine fit in a regular body early 280z. And fit under the hood? Thanks

That black coating is rust, sorta. Like gun blue, it is a type of iron oxide. when I clean my hand files I soak them in vinegar, for a similar effect.
