    Thumbs up and subbed from here in Australia. I’ve been looking at what mods I can do to my Commodore to get more power and this provides a clear roadmap on how to do it. I like how you’ve cut through the crap of “just spend a shit ton of money” and shown us what to do on a budget to make power.
    I might have to get a lot of parts from your neck of the woods as truck fuel rails etc don’t exist here in Australia as we never got any GM trucks here and the LS series of engines were only available in the Holden Commodore. I would love it if I could just pop down to a car wreckers and pick up LS parts for a dime a dozen but those parts are rare here and command premium prices.

    I bought a one owner 07 classic 2500hd ECLB with a wicked knock. Paid dude $1200 body was flawless(the truck not the dude) Pulled the 6.0 motor it had 2 spun mains. Stripped it down and did new cam bearings, etc. Full rebuild. I ported the 317 heads myself(i had a junk set to practice), and got 50lb injectors, 216/220 elgin, flattops, CAI, and got it tuned by blackbear. Truck is a beast. I got alot of stuff used off ls1tech like the cam. I saved a shitload doing it myself and have less than $1000 in the motor. Doing a GT45 this winter..Im glad you told me about the Fahler weld it yourself kit. I have a extra set of truck manifolds but good to know i can get a cheap one if i screw up..

    Got a laugh from the fuel pump selection. I am looking to swap my 92 Volvo 240 station wagon. Looks very similar to the in-tank pump in the car currently (as it literally says it is for Volvo 240s). 240s have a low pressure in tank pre-pump, and a high pressure pump under the car. But yeah, being able to simplify the fuel system (1 pump) AND have it easily adaptable to my current tank and fuel pump assembly, huge win. Great channel, great content!

    Good stuff brother.👍 Only thing I would change is the fuel pump selection.

      I would agree. Yeah the Walbro is $40 more, but as long as you get a real one - you will get some real fuel flow.

      The Driveway Engineer I got my 4l80e out of a 97 3/4 ton Chevy and had it built waiting to put it in. I’m just trying to figure out what to do for fuel. Think I’ve got it figured out though. Duel pumps in the tank and regulator off of the fuel rails. Still unsure as to why guys go with a fuel cell, like in a 06 Silverado, and not just use the stock tank...

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bowtie Building, main reason for a fuel cell is weight savings and fuel control. Example is if you’re making big power and you’re using a stock 18 or whatever gallon fuel cell, and you just want a couple gallons in it to save weight, you risk washing out the fuel pump pickups and sucking air. Even with baffles if you run the tank low enough and launch hard it’s gonna wash the pickup. I killed an engine in my turbo C10 because of this. Whereas if you have a sumped 5 gallon fuel cell you can throw one or two gallons in it and you don’t have to worry. Of course there are also those guys that just put a cell in because they think it looks cool or they saw somebody in the Internet do it. 🤣 But that’s the actual reason.

    Solid advice, set limits on your budget, save a ballpark number and buy all the shit you need at once. Piece it together and life is going to happen, it will never get done and all your stuff will be so old your could've just bought used.

    Engine masters did a video with different headers and those cast manifolds. The cast manifolds only knocked like 15hp off compared to long tube headers that cost a lot more and require more space.

    • @TheDrivewayEngineer
      @TheDrivewayEngineer  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, most people won't benefit from headers at all.
