21k subs is criminally underrated for your content bro
Thanks man!
Foreals!
Agreed!!!
Totally agree
Facts 💯💯
I was expecting Chris to use a forklift when unloading the engine lol… this guy has everything at his house 😂
Super underrated channel, unlike other car channels, I’m glad you finish your builds
Fantastic channel. I'm an absolute car buff. Used to have a engine machine shop until disability force me into early retirement. Now I take care of one of my mother who is dealing with kidney failure. The reason I mentioned these personal details is watching your channel, checking out the things you were working on, your work ethics and Crystal Clear communication, they are an absolute joy and provide me with really moments of Escape. Just a great mental and emotional break. I'm sure many feel how I do. Thanks again, I'm a new subscriber and I will be following along. Most importantly, the holidays are here and 2023 is fast approaching. For you, your family, friends in your orbit and all of your subscribers, we wish you health and wellness. Stay safe everybody and remember it takes a village.
These long detailed videos are perfect and so satisfying to watch. Please keep it up!
Dude, you are way better than 90% of the people on Motor Trend TV. You need to have your own show. I hope some executive sees your videos and makes you an offer you can’t refuse. Keep up the good work.
I'm truly addicted to your Channel because your audiology into the details of rebuilding a car is phenomenal I can't wait till the next video
Sweet- Excited to watch this later !
This is the best build channel on TH-cam, I am shocked how this channel doesn’t have 100k+ subs
It’s coming 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm not sure if anyone else has commented on this yet but the most impressive part of this video was the hop into the back of your truck. 😂
Now I need to go back and watch that lol
I gotta say man you are a great content creator I love all your videos! You film them in a way that makes it seem like you have a whole crew and it’s ALL YOU! Congrats man you’re doin awesome n I appreciate these videos! Love all your work!
Props to this cat! Dude humps engines on his own, lugs all the vehiculars in and out of multiple garage bays by hand, has great detail with the explanations and the quality of his output is great. Get this man a damn beer!!! Subbed
Love this channel and Chris is amazing but Is anyone else wondering why he didn't put a new harmonica balancer on the new motor?
I dont do TH-cam nor do I care to support; however, I subscribe and watch your vids. This is the reality of the true DIY'er. I actually watch as if this was an episode of a fav sitcom.
My wife says to get different music!!... I had to mute during those portions.
I have similar.. A TT Z06 and a 1300whp 3.8L Whipple powered E55. My next build is going to be a 68/69 LS swapped Chevelle.
Great video! I bought a red 2008 zo6 new. Now i have a 2017 zo6. Thinking about finding another c6 zo6.
Love to watch your videos. I have worked on hotrods all my life. But at 66 with heart trouble and arthritis its getting harder.
Can't wait to hear it fire up!
Bro, I was taking a drink when u said, "The angle of the dangle"... cracking me up.
Subbed real quick. Production is super high quality and this is the perfect format for car build videos.
I'm hoping to get into a C6z by the fall and I learned so much about this platform from these vids.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!
Hi Chris, first you are doing something I wish I could have done when I was younger, keep chasing your passion. You should be on TV. You have been an inspiration for me to tackle any issues that my car has. I love watching your videos, keep them coming.
Thanks, Brandt
I hope new engine has the cylinder head upgraded or if not just pop on some ported ls3 heads since we know ls7 were notorious for cylinder head failure due to valve guides and other parts of the valve train.
Im glad yours have been upgraded
Thank you for the great content! I'm new to working on cars and I broke my Trailblazer SS LS2 but wasn't sure what happened. As soon as you pulled the intake off the LS7 and looked inside at the carnage I took off my cold air intake tube off and looked through the throttle body and found my carnage. Now to build my first, hopefully my block survived.
Getting close cant wait to hear that first start
I appreciate your explanations of what you are doing as you go along. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a picture can also be confusing without any captions.
I’m running the same clutch in my camaro with a Tick Performance adjustable master cylinder and I love it. I’ve beat the snot out of it for almost 3k miles and no issues so far.
And like you said, the speed bleeder is a life saver and a must have!
I should be in bed, have to be at work early in the a.m., but yet here i am still watching cars get rebuilt. Been watching your channel for most of my day...
It’s nice to not see someone bouncing around the screen like the energizer rabbit pushing merch and giveaways every 120 seconds
Omg I'm so glad he doesn't do that shit 😂
"Lets do less talking and get to work"
I like this guy's attitude!!!!
I found this channel by mistake and I’m fuxkn hooked bro, great work and attention to detail, now just upload more because I think I’ve binged all of your episodes
Good deal on that engine, especially given the mods! Are you interested in taking on another 2008 C6Z? I'd like to do H/C/MSD intake on mine as well... I checked RPM, but they're booked forever and are pretty expensive! LMK!
Outstanding Job Chris. Really enjoy the detail and your added wisdom during these projects. Hope you and your family have a great holiday and happy new year !
Nice progress. I gotta ask though, is there a reason why you didnt replace the harmonic crank pulley damper while the engine was out? The factory LS motors are notorious for subpar harmonic balancers that start to delaminate and can "wobble" or the inner and out part separates and doesn't spin the accessories. You could have used the ATI damper from the old LS7 the car came with?
Same question I was going to answer.
Can I ship you my c5 for a engine rebuild. Lol
Great update. Looking forward to your next video.
You are real good Chris. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.👍
Great work Chris, enjoy watching your builds!
I just found this guys channel and it’s so awesome to see his collection of cars and especially how he does all the work himself and shows in depth everything he does and explains what he’s doing, love the work man keep it up 👊🏼
I'm following all this with bated breath. I get to see how my Z06 was built. And what everything looks like. And what happens with the valve stem guide ID issue. Thankfully, mine has nearly 120Kmi on it now with zero issues & nearly no oil use between changes. Hoping I can get the full life from this engine. I understand the best constant 'track' engine is the LS3 GS. The LS7 seems to be much more of a high performance 'road' engine for occasional track use only. I guess it wasn't designed for a lot of competition track use.
So in a nutshell he gotta 38k mi 427 zo6 vette for $25k…….nice……..bonus on the lingenfelter heads
car is coming along quick qnd fast. We appreciate your grinding out this content and look forward to your uploads. Take it from an old timer you need to get some kind of 12v winch system so your not pushing and pulling cars in like Thor. Looking forward to the next upload and really enjoyed the Mercedes vid.
Thank you again for the great content, Chris! Former motoring journalist and C6-Owner frm germany here, truely enjoying your videos. Thx!
I always look forward to your videos Absolutely the best car channel and host on the tube. Keep up the good work. Great content as always
Thank you sir! You are a magician with the C6 Z06 and have helped me immensely! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Nothing like the sound of a deleted Power stroke👍
Another awesome video bro!! Thanks for posting I really like all the lil info you put into your videos.
Awesome workmanship. Keep the videos coming brother... one of my favorite channels.
Here for the LS7, that Vette is my dream car! Can't wait to hear the chop from that cam you told us about
Subbed, I have no idea why your channel has not blown up! Great content Chris.
You need a good friend to hang out and help you for fun. I vouch for myself 😂😂
Wow that's absolutely incredible that the heads are LTE. What amazing luck!
Enjoying your channel very much. Would love see a garage build tour video one day .
Chris love the video on this red C6 Z06. I wish I was half as mechanically inclined to do this stuff like you do. You even know all the names of the parts taken off as well as put back on. I have all the faith that once you get everything in, it will run like a pro. Thumbs ups man.
start with some tools...you will be surprised. gotta want it
Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this Vette rising from the ashes…I mean aluminum shreds!! I’m looking forward to the next one!
It’s awesome how you do it all by yourself. Great content and craftsmanship. Thank you
Subscribed !!! Bonjour from the Riviera (I'm a Texan though) and have to say WOW what a steal on the replacement LS7 ... the heads paid for the long block IMHO. Can't wait to see the Dyno results. I have an '07 Z06 ($150k new over here due to Taxes/Duty ... all "American Cars" are double the cost in EU) and have to agree with whomever commented the previous owner probably over rev'd her (easy to see if the limiter was disconnected for Track) ... most of the 06-07's were unaffected by the shitty value guide mis-machining issue ... like mine. Whew !!! Good to know on the Clutch/Rock Auto ... not that I need or want on but good info none the less.
P.S. I was about to feel sorry for you trying to stab her by yourself ... until I saw your screwjack Engine Hoist ... how slick is that ???
HiChris, just want to say I've watched All your Videos and I have to say, You do Awesome. Job on All your Projects!! Love them All. Keep up loading all your Project videos, I really enjoyed them. You Rock!!
Can’t wait to listen to that chop !
Keep up the milestones acheived
I’ve been patiently waiting for this vid. That is a great score for an engine! Should be a really fun car. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Chris love your videos..when you got this I was like damn hellova deal but once you got into it I was like this is alot of work..anyway its cool to see your almosr done..good job!
I like your style, Chris! Great work ethics and very organized. So, these cars your rebuilding, doing it because it's a hobby you enjoy? or flipping to make some side money and just re-invest for the next car to rebuild or maybe all of the above? Keep it up! I'm not only getting some education but enjoying it too! I have a C6 LS3 with 519whp. I have upgraded everything including suspension, rear end and 373 gears! etc. I'm a Vette nut! Thanks for the great content! Tim 🙂
Love learning from your channel , great work !
Love watching your videos Chris. Can’t wait for the next one.
Good job buddy I like watching all yours videos
I race a z06 and hearing delete oil cooler is mind boggling. It's your car do what you want but very very odd to me. I'm not in your shoes so maybe something I don't understand
Nice work
Too bad you don't have a helper
Favorite channel on TH-cam.
Thanks!
32:56 "Getting too old for this stuff" WTF? Shall I go get the wooden box and nails now?
Keep grinding videos. You’re going to blow up one day.
Great video! Keep them coming bro! 😊
Your work is top notch and video quality is great subscribed 👍
Love how perfect your past self video was so perfectly made
I just crushed all your videos on this build. Awesome content dude keep it up
I'm really enjoying your content Chris, thank you for no nonsense high quality work!
Where do you get the new Ls7 engines ? In future keep checking those guide clearances!!!!!!!!!!!
When the video ended, I felt like I was coming down from a high of some kind.
Lookin forward to the next episode!
Excellent videos Chris, keep them coming!
9k for a low miles LS7 seems like a really good deal. Glad you found one
Great vlogs man, the content is really informative and entertaining keep up the awesome work!👍🏾🙏🏾😎
Tip, anything aluminum you want looking new again you need to try aluminum mag wheel cleaner. This is for raw non clearcoated aluminum.
You look like a buff version of my buddy Chad that owns on3 performance the more I watch your videos lol
Chris..noticed that beat up mini bike sitting on the side of your cave..reminds me of my younger days...would be nice change of pace to see you restore it..thx
cant wait to see the finished product! looks nice and easy to work on these cars you got a nice garage and space to work i got a standard 2 car garage with 2 cars in it and tools and what not so it would be near impossible for me to do this type of work as easy as you could totally jealous of that but this is some nice motivation for me to get started on my car 98 ws6 TA
Good Job Chris on that motor purchase
Heads bottom end all ready to rule👍🏁🇺🇸
Great work man keep em coming! Congrats on the positive surprises with your motor!
BRUH you too cold with the tools can’t wait for the dyno 😤😤😤
How does this channel have only 22k subs! Keep up the good work man content is on par with some of the bigger channels!
You should install a winch to the floor of your garage and use that instead of blowing your lower back pushing a car on the lift
Straight up inspirational goals right here fam!!just a dewd wrenching on the baddest gm shit in a garage I can relate!!🙏🙏
Can’t wait to see it finished! Been a pleasure watching your work👊
Makes me want to pick up a project c6 😂. fire content by the way 💯🔥
I got a chuckle out of “Chris from the past” 🤣
Best thing to clean aluminum is gasoline. Makes it look good.
may i ask what do you do for a living
Great vids Chris! Why do I get AvE vibes every so often though? :). Can't wait for the next vids and especially the startup of the Z06!
I wonder which Chris can bench more, past Chris, or future Chris? Great progress
Fun to watch.
Good video style no waste or BS.
Can’t wait to see the sequel to this. Looking forward to hearing that fresh LS7
Its a piece of CRAP that isnt even good enough to scrap for parts.
Those other comments are correct and to be more direct you are a bad 💪🏽
I’m sure you have but I’m curious if you’ve tried the etched mag cleaner? It’s amazing what it does to aluminum
28:00 I'm surprised you didnt spit shine that LS7 before install!
I so enjoyed the videos I had a suggestion. . . Slo Mo . . . I think if you could ad some slow Motion into your production it would take things over the top. Your a total natural and a One Mil sub channel , trust me here. they are on the way. I steered DOVYDAS to a one MIL channel, so LETS GO. Your on it man, Cheers and Merry Christmas !
Hello, i just bought a pretty neglected 2006 Corvette C6 and this channel helped me to gain more confidence for the engine rebuild. Although I have a question - that LS7 clutch you just installed looks like a self adjusting clutch. Shouldn't you use one of these special SAC tools for the install?
