Good video, if you are engineering you OWN engine. I chose NOT to engineer this last engine and leave it to the pros.

Never had any luck with big blocks. Always breaking something.

and she has to breathe...........so 3" stainless 304 steel all the way back. Borla PROXS mufflers. a few bucks in that.

LS does have 6 bolt mains yes. I used a 4 bolt main with a steel not cast crank arp fasteners and had zero issues with bottom end. This new crate has a stronger bottom end than that did. I'm not worried about it in the least.

And the 355 on the dyno was just short of 750HP. A tad too much. HAHA. 400-550 hp is TONS of power for a brick.

I gotta agree. I only build sbc not LS. I have an LS in my NEW truck. GREAT engine with a 10 speed. HOWEVER..............I am building a 1975 3/4 ton Chevy square body, with 4x4, SM465, NP-205 and 14 bolt corporate full float diff. How about this..........427 BLUEPRINT/DYNO engine SMALL BLOCK CHEVY. Roller everything. Forged everything. And a warranty. That's just me. Put whatever ya want in yer truck. I'm going this route. 427 - 540 HP on the dyno sheet. 800 CFM AVS electric choke for a carb. Vacuum can for the brakes. Yes, the cam is that wild (low vacuum). Tons of torque for a heavy old brick. I'll put it against any LS, any day. I don't do electronics. No sniper, nothing. Never have had to. Different strokes for different folks. Just have fun. My last build was an old school 350, 30over 355CID with a 671 blower on it. In a square body brick. Quite the ride. That one I built ground up. This time, it's a crate drop in. Gotta spend more time on the rusty body and replace all that metal.

Boo, double headlights what a 58 ? JK

Your number are close in the pricing. SBC/BBC are only cool to the guys 55-60 and older. I have both sitting in the garage 6.0 LS, I have 283 and a 350. New projects I recently bought are setup for SBC only reason I have them SBC. My race car has a 610 HP 6.0 LS in it.

The only International truck worth anything is the older ones…..and than only because they are cheap…..cheap for a reason. Their engines are absolutely junk. Their version of the emissions system is by far the biggest disaster ever built. Point is if you buy one, you own it. Can’t give the stupid things away. Now, the Cummins engine is better……not much……..

Lol this video literally made zero sense. He is right, he doesnt know wtf hes talking about 😂

The younger generation is going to be more prone to what they grew up with. It’s also the reliability and drive ability that makes the swap alluring. Different strokes for different folks, literally. I love em both.

Wow you hit the nail on the head, we wooped a LS with my SBC. And we where cheeper

Been there done it

I’ve got an old 010 block with a GM steel crank, Oliver rods an Isky roller cam and AFR 210s. Twin 72mm turbos, it makes as much as you want it to make. Just turn up the boost. There has been no need to go LS.

I bought an LS gen 4 5.3 to put in my 57 chev that has no motor. Then I recently bought an 84 c1500 with a 327 swapped into it. Now I'm going to put the LS into the truck and the 327 into the 57. I was told the 327 came from a 69 nova or something, and I only really wanted the LS for the EFI and it being a daily.

This guy knows what LS guys are going to say because he knows its true! I bracket raced for years with a small block chevy @ 6k a piece roughly. 11.50's carbureated. Refresh every 2 seasons. Went LS $60 mount kit. $500 5.3. $1000 homemade turbo kit and injectors. 9.80's. All day. Real experience. LS all the wayyyhhhewwwhu

That's a pretty good looking 13 letter shit spreader.

I've got a lt396 in my 96 vett..makes 470 to the wheels..the LS guy's look down on me ..then I beat them..they never have much to say after that

Why dont they run disk brakes. The truck is awesome. Allways have liked International.

There is a video online it's a 350 versus a 5-3 and this old-timer guy was going to pick the motor that was going to suit his needs but he wanted a motor that wanted to make more power so the shop did a comparison on cams lifters and springs on a stock bottom end just refurbishing bearings and everything else and believe it or not the old school 350 made more power and more torque than the five three with the same specs so for all these guys that think they know everything about LS motors about making badass power is wrong Old school is still going to beat new school no matter what you do and yes if you spend money on your top end you will make better power it's not all about the bottom end bottom end is just going to get you torque and if you don't have anything on the top end the make what you want you ain't going nowhere but this guy is telling the truth everybody thinks that LS motor is cheap the build they're really not

Great video you just got a new subscriber. Can you tell me how much the truck cost?

I love pre 2000s International trucks, then they just started using one cab for everything so yeah

A buddy of mine has had a 19 13 letter shit spreader HX, he’s got 500,000 on it and calls it the plastic POS. Not a well built truck at all

Not only did VW Group / International design a much better looking Truck looking as real as it gets... it's simply better. And to see this video back that theory up does tell me Paccar is starting too get close to the tip of an iceberg. The 569s are a Ripoff 9990 i

Competing with a 589 is pretty low bar

What is re cell on this truck vs peterbilt and kenworth w900

International has a good machine and its cheaper to maintain, ❤️🇺🇲♥️💯👍💪

After 47 years of owning trucks and knowing every make and model old and new i currently run older trucks as nowadays all teucks other than cabs and hoods are all about the same. I started out with a 4070A then a 4070B then to my first hood a 4300 Eagle and after they did away with the "F" cabs i went to Kenworth trucks but had a little bit of everything.

That was great editing when backed under the trailer and made it look like everything got hooked up without you getting out of the truck 👍😎

I use to do semi truck inspections and it is always safer to use a flashlight and inspect the brakes top and bottom including drum. Sometimes they look good but have a fine crack in them!

Have you ever weighed the truck by itself? I love the truck also but I have to stay below 20,000.

thats a fine looking truck

International has a good looking truck,I just never understood why they have the shifting handle go at an angle! Doesn’t look good and when the clutch gets some mileage it makes it more difficult to float gears

Screw them both and give me a pre DEF truck or a glider 👍

They are going to have Scania engine's in them if they put the 16 ltr V8s in them it will be a game changer i think they are over 800hp now nothing can catch them on the road in Australia

Dude, I think you just happened to get a non-lemon! International are the worst trucks on the market next to Freightliner! They are shaky and rattley and are straight trash trucks! They are great money makers, though!

That’s the power of marketing you still won’t be as cool as a Peterbilt truck 😂

New cab coming in 2026

I have 5 9900 ix long hoods all with big block cats

Why I always personally can't stand a Peterbilt. Inside cab width. No different than sitting in a small car. Why people can't understand why I drive Ford pickups and now a Ford transit cargo van. Cab width. Very sharp truck.

Curious why you didn't go disc brakes all the way around?

Cornbinder to fast for the corn field to slow for the interstate

I drive the same truck two little things I dislike is the door doesn't open very far and that you need a key to open the sidebox wish it had a latch on the inside. But besides that its good and I pull heavy with it gross 140,000. Also that was neat when you did the tug test and everything was hooked up and rooling that was funny

Grew up Ditch banging a 73 or 74 super stinger my dad gave us as 10 year old and my dad rode a 1980 whip. Lots of memories made. Thanks for the vid

nice truck

I would just prefer an LS so I don't have to deal with cold start issues, warm up issues and heat soak because of modern day gas

I stuck with the sbc in my 85 vette, but I made it a 414, 220cc afr heads, and had a welded ported Holley stealth ram port matched and thrown on it, with terminator x and an electronic distributor. Runs like a champ, looks better and more inconspicuous than an LS, and i didn’t have to do any crazy frame cutting and expensive swap kits.

This is freaking hilarious and so true. I’ve got my old truck that I have fully rebuilt except the new engine and I’m going with a 383 and all my friends are freaking the crap out saying I need to throw an LS in it and I’ve made the argument you gotta buy all the crap to make it work right the wiring the controllers Everything if you don’t have a donor vehicle you’re kind of screwed. I can slap a 383 together for $2000 and put an Edelbrock EFI system on it altogether costing me around 3500. Maybe a little bit more and it blows all my friends minds

I see you speak Tool Time also😅

Nice spec, good build.
