New sub love the fact that you got your son with you to teach him about cars and that one is rare I can see him with it years from now keep up the good videos..I miss my 08 GXP GRAND PRIX lol be good.......✌️
I have the same suv. I put a ls7 cam in it and had it tuned. 325 whp. Ran awesome all summer. Just blew it. Don't know why but one piston blew apart. I'm not sure how I'm going to rebuild this. Might go 6.0 iron block and delete the AWD.
If you don't live in the Snowbelt, the AWD delete is a great idea! I'd also DEFINITELY do the 6.0L swap- from personal experience, find a reputable Transmission shop who can put something like an adjustable valve body in the trans to firm up the shifts. I'd also invest in a trans cooler as well. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the results on just those two Mods! Too bad we here in the comments can't see your build- I'd like to do something similar, but, with AWD with beefier parts.
Nice work on the Cinematography there Nephew..!! Tell dad, he wins... I guessed 15-16 on the Q... Ever mess with the lil 4.2's..? Looks like the Misses Burb is late 90's vortek.? I'm finishing a 95 b.b.c. peanut port mod ... goin' to look at a (white) 97x 5.3 tonight, and a 6.0 tomorrow... Anybody ever go straight to the '496-4L80e' fatt-saab...? and my son shows up with an 85 Camaro, with a full cage and crate-build... back 'round new years... Were you shifting man or auto...?
If you plan on driving it hard like in this video you may want to look into the oil pump pickup tube relocation kit because you will end up spinning a bearing if not
Yeah I've seen their kit(they're going to be doing the tune), $329 is a bit much when the baffle and an extra quart have worked for everyone I've seen try it. And it's basically free.
@@josephcarlson1774 A Listen to this! Also, do everything your power to get rid of the Displacement On Demand. The high mileage early blocks tend to oval out the lifter jackets and allow random and sudden drops in oil pressure. This phenomenon killed my LH6. I'm in the process of procuring another engine for my 97X, but funds are stretched wildly thin across my projects, LOL!
i have the areo version of this vehicle i rebuilt the transmission it’s solid asf now nobody ever knows wtf it is haha i wouldn’t mind having a white 5.3 exactly like yours is pretty sweet aeros didn’t come in white

He loves helping in the shop, hes already helped with a few engine swaps among other things.
@@josephcarlson1774 that's what's up (the bond and time )wish you and your son nothing but the best with channel keep doing what you do.......✌️
Thank you!
@@josephcarlson1774 your welcome......✌️

These are great SUVs I just wish there were more heavy duty transmission and support for these.
Hit up TBMsports. They specialize in 6spd conversions for TBSS,97x Silverado’s etc
2007 Buick Rainer CXL Plus 5.3l is no slouch either very underrated.
Peace from the netherlands!

Yeah I'm for sure going to be doing the oil pan baffle mod while the pan is off.
Pcm of NC has the pickup tube relocation kit which is different than the baffle mod

For sure, I have everything to delete the DOD, along with a good size cam going into the LH6
Nice I want one......✌️
Gears would make a huge difference 1 and 2 gear are long
For basically a trailblazer that thing gets up
Nice vid!
Not bad for stock though. Once the mods go in then it will definitely wake up!

how many hp?
Factory rating is 315hp at the crank, with the 93 octane tune it had, it was probably around 325hp at the crank.
@@josephcarlson1774 do u still have it
@@xxyvng6831 yes I do, I'm currently prepping it for a remote mount turbo setup.
@@josephcarlson1774 black it all out and put some spinners on it
Do like I did...Buy a Saab 9-7x Aero with the LS2 engine.
Yeah I see those on every used car lot I go to. Cheap too.
@@zapa47
Sorry, Dude, you do not see a 9-7x Aero everyday, they only made 552 of them. The Aero has the Corvette LS2 engine.
@@TheVagolfer I'm just jealous. Been trying to pick one up for a bit now.
@@zapa47
Good luck. They are hard to find in nice condition that haven't been modded.
What kind of goofy track are you on?
A drag strip?
@@josephcarlson1774 never saw a 1/6th mile
@@m-c-m- 1000ft tracks are common in rural areas. This track is over an hour from the closest interstate.
Not that slow either buddy for a pre 2010 SUV lmao
