It leaked so much oil it should now be called .....
The Lexxon Valdez.
Noice!
Very clever!
Nobody knows more about slinging "power cubes" into cars they weren't factory-fitted to than Turbo Yoda - it'd be great to see him and Woody come down for a week and help you put the Lexcen together (with a pair of turbos hanging off it)...
Nar need the Hoff to put a truck sized turbo in the spare wheel tub in the back 👌🏾
At least now you know the drain channels on the Trolvo are clear. Silver linings and all that.
"It'll never rust"...exactly what I was thinking...just remember to dibble some down the other side too...😁
Scotty: oh auto fluid has gone into the sun roof on the volvo, itll never rust
Me: *stands on roof of 80 series with bottle of ATF*
love ya work boys 🤘
You got a hearty laugh out of me when you said 4L60 things.
nothing like the ol box of neutrals, hey scotty! P-R-N-N-N-N 🤣
Hey Scotty cant wait for this Build Awesome love your Videos keep up the good work mate.
You can do it Scotty we all have great faith in you 😍😍👍👍👍
Great video as always Scotty! Keep up the good work as always mate!
"Do some cleanup down there."
- Scotty, 2022
Don't worry, my mind went there as I said it
So good Scott
Love ya work Scotty. Great channel 👏
Out of all the Car's that didn't finish DCW, I still couldn't believe it when you announced in at the Driver's brief on Sunday! Sure, its got a few KM's but you'd think it would've have had one last run left in it.
But now it's time to turn this into the TRUE Street Machine commuter vehicle, I can't wait for the day that Scotty and Telfo go Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who get's as a Daily!
Love it can't wait to hear the 1UZ
Another great video. Thank you Scotty 'The Shifter' Taylor.
It’s gotta be a sad day when you say goodbye to a donk that’s done so many Kms. It’s almost heading into grandfathered territory where a little bit of respect is due 😂
one of the best v6 engines ever. Good old Buick 6.
yeah the tip
Love this project. Great idea
I just wanted to throw out here,
I've been watching you guys, BCW, and the SkidFactory for eons. And as someone that isn't a mechanic at heart. Shows like this give me the inspiration to spanner on myself.
6 months ago I changed my own main bearings and now I'm building a hybrid LLT/LFX engine.
I think I should drop by with some free beer at some point. Any preference?
(And yes, I'm well aware its the wrong VE... my old man had a VE Valli tho. does that count?)
We love Wild Turkey premix cans
On the bright side project time.
Scotty “ fix it and JUST SEND IT , great video mate 😁👍👍
Look on the brighter side Scotty, the drain channels aren't blocked on the Trolvo lol
Classic line 'now I need to pee'
Nice Progress this should be interesting
A VN Commodore by ANY other name! That high KM V6 would ok in the LJ Torana, maybe a 5spd behind!
Gotta love vpw! That shop is so awesome
The good old chunky Lexcen salad lol
What trans is planned for the Toyota tuff Lexen? Power glide, turbo 350/400/700 🤷♂️
Those welded bolts behind muffler are standard on those Scotty. dealt with too many to count lol
I'm feeling the pain ahead, it's a huge job, look forward to more eppys, not to many of those about nowdays..
Scotty mate head of to Bunnings and get yourself a handful of white PVC 25mm plumbing end caps they make excellent end caps that fit over the tailshaft and seal up against the output shaft seal no more leaks mate for about $1.50
You can play a drinking game with these Carnage vids. Every time Scotty sighs or groans, you have to take a shot. You'll be atleast half pissed by the end 😉
Thank god for that a broken car ! Was getting sick of all the stuff working ! Time to break out the Metric adjustable !!
Haha
There is a lot of stuff online about V8 k frames being needed for V8 swaps but I don’t think the belief is well founded. They are the same save for the bracing panels. The V6 bracing has more clearance for the sump. I know that, until recently, you could only get engine mounts to do an LS swap onto a V8 k frame but that’s not the case anymore. Can you please do a piece on what the differences are and whether V8 k frames really are needed and hopefully dispel an internet myth.
*same save for bracing panels and mounts. My bad 🤗
We'll have a good look at them but I think there are more difference than I thought
Scotty get the exhaust on market place you will get $50 for it 😂😂😂😂
That gearbox oil was pretty burned up
The 4L60 and first lot of 4L60E's were a nightmare forever coming into my workshop causing my mechanics and myself headaches galore not to mention the pissed off customers. Yes the grief of them pissing fluid out either pan gaskets or your right pump/converter seals half the time they died due to fluid loss one way or another.
Keep the toyota love going Scotty, 4agze for the barina, 2jz for turbo taxi
Same thing happened to my old man in his VN wagon many moons ago. The converter seal basically melted
Highest K's I've ever seen on a car was in the vacinity of 835,000 on a VL Commodore that a car yard was seeling as a 'bonus parts car' along side another mildly done up VL. As bad as that number sounds, I have owned 2 VL's that both had 'bad' odometers, so its theoretically possible that the real number was even higher! Despite all that, and that it was being all-but given away, it apparently DID still run!
I have an XD panel van in my front yard with 1280,000 km on it …
Still went when parked
I put more than a million on it …
I bought it 6 years old and 200k on it
The killer rust got her finally
Just wasn’t game to drive it after the spring went through the top of the shock tower ….
Wow! You do so much more dismantling of engine for removal than i ever did. I never remove anything from engine, not even harness, just unplug the wiring from engine to under bonnet harness, unplug ecu and remove harness from firewall. engine comes out with everything on it including p/steer if not using it again.
I didn't want to remove the ECU and Engine Harness at this time
Looking good!
As someone who has owned cars with the 4L60E gearbox I can confirm the insides are made of gingerbread and was the weak link in most cases.
Only if built by people who don't care
famous last words "and its getting a 1uz very shortly". i hope this thing doesn't fight scotty every inch of the way
Why would you say that?
@@STREETMACHINETV you're tempting fate scotty. you know those seemingly straight forward jobs have a way of throwing up unforeseen problems. either way, i can't wait to see the series. good luck
Rustproofing the Trolvo while it sits there in pain, it had one more act of kindness before it passed away
Why didn't you just drop the k frame, motor and box out the bottom?? You're swapping the k frame out anyways
More trouble than it's worth sometimes
Loves a shifter moment.
Would be nice with a set of cams in it, they cost alot for these engines Scotty?
being derived from the VR they had a recall because of trans oil pump!!
Scotty , would have been easier to just drop the K frame with the Engine and trans as a unit and lift the body shell up.
Makes it difficult to move car afterwards if we need to
My kid broke 3 auto transmissions in his VS wagon, 5 speed manual sitting in shed to be swapped in.
Im no lexan expert but I think it has commodore front guards and indicators
You're right, you're no Lexcen expert
@@STREETMACHINETV i googled it after my comment , it was the previous model that the lexan had different guards and indicators
In vest in some $10 trans block offs best things ever
350,000k's on a Holden V6? i'm surprised it started! they don't usually make it that far!
funny 😂😂 if its an alloytec I agree. not Buicks or ecotecs 😂
Mate mines got 400,000 on it and no issues
@@JamesGarage06 intech swaps dont count
@@GTFORDMAN its a ecotec mate 😂
Not an Ecotec
I waiting for a wax on wax off. While cleaning the floor. 😂👍😜
Get yourself some saw dust Scotty for cleaning fluid up .
Isn't the min requirement for dc car must do less the 12 second quarters?
It wasn't competing at DCW, it was a SM crew vehicle
My beer 'o clock was 3 hours ago...
Hey guys i really like the 2022 drag challenge weekend merchandise wear can i buy a shirt thanks cant seem to find them anywhere
We sold out of most stuff, but some will hit the website soon
If it’s a Buick wouldn’t it have been the t700? I thought 4l60 came with ecotecs.
VN/VP was TH700, VR was 4L60E
@@STREETMACHINETV makes sense I pulled a t700 out of my vp and assumed it was all Buicks.
No pressure Scotty.......

Hey Scotty, I have a 2002 VX Commodore that has done 310k kms. The car is due for a service, and I was wondering what your thoughts were about putting Diesel oil in instead. Would it be beneficial for a high kilometer engine, as I have heard... or not?
While not diesel oil specifically, a thicker oil can be better for higher mileage engines
Has to be the biggest fuck round I've seen takin a motor an box out why didn't you just drop the lot out from underneath if your changing K -frames an using a hoist
Because it can be a bit of a balancing act to get them out that way. Nothing worse than having them slip off the jacks. Plus this way we can still move the car around
It’s destiny
Telfo is proof that Scotty can't have nice things. 🤣👍 How many cars is that now that he's killed before bringing it to you as a project? 🤔
Hey at least your doesn’t turn off no reason I don’t know why my does 😢
I don’t get it you have a car with a leaky trans so you put it up over another car?? Great video anyway 👍
We knew the trans was not well, we didn't know it was leaking badly
You sure do find great cars. Are you sell supermang???
Not yet
whats with the title in the thumb nail? "TELF STRANDED"?
Telf, as in Simon Telford was stranded when it died
@@STREETMACHINETV ahhhh... thatll learn me for not knowing names 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you opening up the ring gaps on this motor for boost?
Wasn't really planning to because every time I pop rods and pistons out I find other things to fix
Hee. Hee. Picked up an '84 Pontiac Fiero with a Supercharged 3800/5-Speed swapped into it. Took it right to the Junk Man who gave me $450 for it. He'll keep it alive for awhile.
Scotty why didn't you just drop the whole lot out from underneath? You would've had had it apart in 20mins!
I wasn't feeling that adventurous
They are a good engine the old ecotec mate they definitely can cop a thrashing 👍
What did you have for lunch Scotty?
Red Rooster
@@STREETMACHINETV Nice work.
@@STREETMACHINETV yuck
Mad
Resurrect it with a Holden badge
Nope
pppppssstttt gatorade bottles ,

You guys must be made of money.
Who would use a 15c bag to catch oil out the trans, that's just not right fellas,
Why is Telfa not helping you guy's with this big job.
Lots of exacerbated sighing,,,,,hashtag manglife.
That was interesting.. "The Lexen is Dead" .. "Long Live the Lexen!".. Are you religious?
It's something they say when kings or queens die
