- This is Josh Mason's LS2 Drift Engine he will be using in his Pro Am 2010 Ford Mustang in the 2019 The Drift League series held at Irwindale Speedway. Josh plans to hit the 800hp mark with this engine. This is the second engine he has ever built. The first engine was a turbocharged 5.3 that hit the 650 horsepower mark. This time he is going bigger cubic inch, lighter block and staying turbocharged. Enjoy.

Josh Mason proudly distinguishes himself not only as driver but a fabricator that builds 100% of the vehicles he competes with. Mason built a successful following with a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he restored to a not so typical classic car fashion. He wanted to build a classic car he could not only take to car shows but put on the track and drift as well. After multiple years of drifting in the Camaro he decided to take drifting to the next level. His next build weapon of choice was a 2010 Ford Mustang that got stripped down to a shell and built to become a highly competitive drift machine. It was such a competitive car that it helped him achieve his Formula Drift Pro2 License in a Formula Drift approved Pro Am Drift series in his first year of drift head to head competition.
Josh Mason's racing career began at a very young age of 8 years old in a NHRA Jr Dragster. Then at 16 years old when Josh obtained his drivers license he was able to compete in a full size NHRA Super Gas Roadster. But in 2008 he discovered drifting at a local Long Beach event known as Formula Drift Round 1. Watching a vehicle obtain high speeds sideways inches from walls sparked a new passion that soon after turned into a addiction.
Mason not only has been heavily involved in motorsports but also in film and content creation. He studied at the Los Angeles Film School and received his Degree in Film Science in 2011.
That's awesome. I typically don't like a project to last more than 6 minutes, though.
Definitely gunna shorten up the next one ;)
I see you are one of those that prefer the 6min abs instead of the 7min workout.
😂🤣
James Pelosi that’s funny
Ha!
This is how it should be done,clean,precise and good to see someone build one and use a torque wrench instead of slapping it together with a impact driver in their cluttered barn garage I'm sure it still runs great that way just really pleasing to see one done in this format
Thank you for the kind words
Absolutely loving these timelapse builds!! Quality content!
Thank you! Doing another one of my roll cage build as we speak
This was therapeutic and easily the best thing I will watch on youtube today! Good job 👍
Thanks Tyler!
Saying 800hp ls2, I was expecting to see some specs of parts or at least a parts list and a dyno in the end 😒
That's the thing about "expectations". Many more times than not, you'll be let down by them. Accept what has been given, and be grateful for that.😂😂😂
But seriously, expectations will ruin your life.
@@arturozarate1752 that’s the dumbest thing I have heard
@@rotaryturbo88 😂😂😂😂 well the proof is in the pudding. You'd be the most fortunate human being if you recieved everything you expected.
So far: EXPECTATIONS - 1 and YOU - 0
JS
@@arturozarate1752 so all the times I didn’t expect it but got it then it points to me right? Wtf are you talking about clown, stfu
😂😂😂
Put the cam in first with the block upside down. Easy to guide in with one hand between the journals in the block. Cool vid none the less
Thanks for the tip Bo!
He didnt even have any lifters in there when he was putting the cam in it wouldn't make a difference
Still easier with the block upside down so you have access between the mains. That was really my only reason for posting. It was just a tip from me to make assembly easier.
Damn why did it take me a month to just do a cam and lifters. Lol. Nice video! 👍
HAHA IDK man maybe too much XBOX? haha
@@masonthedriver Haha, Well I had heads gone through and ordered some more parts once I got it opened up also one of those during the weekend projects. Nicely done sir!
@@masonthedriver would you put up the part list I'm trying to build my ls2 as well and those are the numbers I'm wanting to hit. I'm not to well rounded off in this area it would be a big help thanks
I saw everything I needed to see. Nice build. Good work.
thanks for the kind words!
I can watch this video a million times and its still badass!
Very cool. The dislikes are probably from people who thought it would actually only take 7 minutes to assemble an engine.
There are competitions where people actually build entire 350s in around 7 mins
@@eriv4735 not like this one.
There’s not much difference between this engine and a standard Chevy 350 small block..I’m not knocking this guys video..he did an awesome job I am just simply stating that it is entirely possible to build an engine in 7 mins..I would also like to add that when these competitions take place the put headers and ignition and fuel systems to them and fire them up..again I’m not knocking I’m just stating my point..great build
@@eriv4735 Captain Buzzkillington
haha ya obviously it took many days to build the engine but hey just watch it in 7 Minutes haha
I could watch this all day
Dang Im gunna have to make more of these
I find those rocker arms extremely attractive.
Harland sharp rockers
i can watch this all day, would love to see this bad boy running .
Only a true motor head would understand how oddly satisfying this video is!
Thanks man! I never really saw any videos like this on the TY so I thought id just make one
🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾
Kudos for a very well-done video. Artful, relaxing, informative and captivating all at once.
This is probably the best video to music sync ever...nice job on the build!!!
Thanks mike
Wow!!!! That’s exactly how you do it!!!!
Good job man!!!
As a long time Gm souther born man an yes im African American ive own 7 3-5th gen camaros an 1 91 modal corvette my 1st car was a 1985 z28 305 ho. To my current ls based 2001 matistic teal flip flop green blue only 1460 was eva produced still a 60k original mile car. For the smart comments or people that don't understand ls based motors its not hard to gain big hp tq numbers an ive witch alot of youtube channels but ive really enjoyed this video. Coming way from col ga south collard greens an pig feet home grown boy thanks for the video as ls became so popular that ford guys relize a simple motor swop would get them in the winner circle along with imports an your most die heart ford man it takes a strong power plant to break down die heart ford an important guys. Example the beater bomb mustang never pop hood but is the fastest 10.5 car in the world wins cash days like its a morning walk but powered by an ls based motor if you take our ls based motors put them in a light lx mustang with our power glide trans an ford unbrakeable 9 inch rear end you have a hell of a race grudge car an ford guys realize that an now ls swops are internationally done. look forward to seeing more
Ya it just makes more sense to build a LS engine. I priced out both builds at 700hp and by doing everything yourself aside from the machining. It costs $14 dollars per HP on a Ford Engine and $7 dollars per HP to build this engine
@@masonthedriver wow you are really know you ls stuff besides the fact my 1st car was a 85 z28 h.o 305 175 hp my 9th grade year. My class mate had a stang 302 5.0 with flowmasters made 230hp i took my 1st ass whooping. I was so sad me an my bestfriend found a 355 650 carb humpheads cherry bomb mufflers stock 700r 373 gear no dyno bk then but lets just say when we raced behind the football stadium we put 4 cars on my old 9th grade school rival. 7 more later 3-5 gens our current ls based grudge car my 383 lt1 car was fast but only till i graduated to ls . is were i saw the best dollar per hp on a cam only slp long tubs exhaust 160 stat ls6 intake t56 spec 3 clutch an 342 with nitteos 555 i was surprised how easy gaping 302 351s 331s with supercharger car we won by 3 cars once that happened. It was ls for life an we got deeper forged internations auto 400th i notice besides dyno time how cheaper i was vs ford or Dodge. Sorry long story but out of all the youtube channels this helps educate an good info . i guess its a reason why the most die hearted ford guys runs ls motors hey we run there rear end lol the badest cash days car is a lx mustang ls based turbo car called the beater bomb mustang an boy that car surely is one bad grudge run bk to bk hot lap car thanks to gm good ola simple push rod ls motor but keep up the good wk cant wait to see more an thanks from the Gm ls boys all the way from col ga south
Rumor has it the camera is still under the valley cover! 🤫 Great content
Yes sir and believe it or not its still alive lol jk
Wow!! That’s exactly how you do it!!!
That was so satisfying to watch. Good work on the build bro your the man
Thank you so much!
this was very therapeutic 🖒
Might have to do more of these then
You do great work. Would love to drop that engine in my Escalade and watch people's jaws drop.
That would really mess with people
Thanks
Charles
@@masonthedriver I really like your cleanliness when assembling your engines, I too am a clean freak when it comes to putting together a engine.
Clean👌 Love the organisation and tidiness. Definitely would trust your work.
Great engine! Just finished my LS3 with stock shortblock making 650 HP NA no turbos.
Thats awesome and makin really good power for NA
@@masonthedriver really enjoyed your video. Great work. Do you have a video of the finished engine with turbo?
Gotta love ls, im lovin my lm7 with comp 227/235 458 lsr cam n trick flow gen x 205's. With other goodies o course
LM7's are quite the little workhorses and produce great power. I still have mine in the shop. Might go into a drift bash car
Love this quality builds and time lapse keep them coming 🤠
Thank you Gerardo!
Quality video man! You should have thousands of subs soon...
Thank you Jeff!!! That really means a lot man! Lets hope. I am doing my best to keep up with making these
It's coming
Thanks for uploading this brother. Such beautifully constructed workmanship 🙏🏼
Thanks my friend!
Bro this is Awesome. Before watching this video things were very complicated, thanks 🙏🏻
Great video man. Truly enjoyed it. Very clean build as well. As a intermediate builder myself i would have loved to hear a commentary on exactly what your doing, why, specs, part numbers, tips, tricks, things to avoid ect.. cant wait to explore your channel. Thanks 👍
what a well put together video, so beautiful so much awesomeness
Thank you Olen!
Long time listener first time caller. Nice video. I’d love for that to be twisting my Camaros rear end.
hahahaha I love that comment approach
Awesome video one expensive build. what dreams are made of. drope it in my astro
It would definitely make a astro do wheelies haha
I watch these videos while I make chilly. Tis my therapy..
That was so satisfying
Thanks Walter
Nice looking oil pan set up, good looking engine, great job.
Thanks man
Loved everything about this video.
Thank you Ross
This was awesome and well worth my time. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I set the playback speed to x2 and it changed the title to "800hp ls2 engine build in 3.5 minutes"
hahahaha arent you clever
@@masonthedriver I try 😂😂
You changed the music, lol I watch this for motivation to build mine
Ya unfortunately it had a copyright restriction on it :(
@@masonthedriver not an issue mate still a killer video! Your an inspiration man, love your work
I like Ford blocks. Especially the 351c
If u liked my reply. Respond
Thats cool if you like Ford Engines.. I am not here to judge
You dont want the Cleveland block if going for big power like this. Ford Racing has an all aluminum 427 Windsor shortblock for 5500.00 through American Muscle. I believe that is the cost including shipping to your front door. The Windsor block is the same architecture as the 302 that came in mustangs in 1987-1993. They were also called 5.0 liter mustangs. Kasse racing makes a set of heads for it. P38 is the model number. The shortblock with these heads will make 750 horses all motor(no turbo,blower,or nitrous) and it even uses a street friendly hydraulic roller cam. The cost for the heads is 2500.00. By the time you ad in the cost for camshaft, roller rockers, intake, carb, etc......you should be at $10,000.00-11,000.00. It should last quite a while and is quite beefy including splayed 4 bolt mains. It revs to over 7,000 rpm and makes atleast 600 lb/feet of torque. I love that you dont need to add the complication of turbos or superchargers. One downside......it ain't gonna be a fuel sipper. It is gonna drink gas like I drink Budweiser......hard. Anyway I'm an old school Ford fanatic with best friends who are old school Chevy fanatics. Hope this info helps. Any questions? Shoot me a reply.
Hella tight background music
Thank you Cliff!
That’s about how quick I put mine together.
Just beautiful
Thanks Man
Cool ! Encourages me to keep saving .
Wicked dude
Im jealous of your skills man.
*see that used specialty tool to install cam
Me- yeaaaaa i just used the water pump bolts
Sometimes you just gotta use what you got. Be gentle haha
Water pump bolt user here too! Lol
Wow this guy is fast! I hope one day I can build a whole engine in 7 minutes 😂
Well done
Thanks Jim
What do you charge per hour ? You should be able to knock out a pushrod 302 in like 3 minutes. 🤣🤣. Cool vid Josh
HAHA I see what your suggesting you sly dog you haha. Thanks Donald!
Ls is 🔫 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Absolutely!
Josh Mason my old mans a mechanic he canned and put a high stall in a ve ss commodore for a customer and it made 400kw with just a cam and stall
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't an LS2, because the intake ports are rectangular vs the cathedral design of the LS1/6/2. That makes this an LS3, right?
Yes LS3 are rectangle ports but the block is a LS2
Cool video. What about the oil that was spilled into the cooling jackets before installing the pistons? That will attack all rubber in the cooling system.
How much does a build like that cost?
I have a junk yard 4.8 but I don’t have a clue on what to do with it. Btw great video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This build was about 11k. You can easily turn that 4.8 into a 5.3 and dump about 5k into it and make it 556 to the rear wheels with a turbo on 9psi boost
@@masonthedriver I have a 2008 5.3 stock bottom end 243 milled heads 0.30 boost custom grind cam 226/231 220 lbs injectors 4l80 with a p.i 3600 triple disc for boost 2 450 lbs fuel pumps 8 lines for fuel system 411s possi MSD 2 step caltracs on 16 pounds of boost never have dynoed it do you guess around what horsepower should it be making?
More than you can afford pal.
K Vo I can see that 😂😂😂
Awesome build I’m trying to build my ls2 engine and it’d be really helpful if you could tell me what kind of oils and lubricants you used I don’t want to mess it up it’d be really helpful
Lucas oil is where its at
What’s a good place to start for rockers? Also build list? I usually don’t ask but I’m in the reasearch for building my 800hp engine.
damn thats a clean job!.. nice!
4:00 that camera is going to do some major damage. Hes going to be so embarrassed when he finds out he left it in there.
I don’t know if this is a joke or not yahahaha
Good luck GoPro haha
Those rocker arms looked nice, what kind are they??. Are they still hydraulic and torque down like a stock one?? Also do they give you any valve float at high rpm??
That level.!
Thanks man its taken awhile
Awesome video man!
Thanks Mack!
SWEET!
Thanks Ricovette
Ooooooo...
Jet boat insertion please.
Quality, Quality, Quality.
Nice work.😎🚤
Thank you!
Yea right you sped this up
Great video I cant wait to see what else you do on. Maybe I will get some ideas for my Camaro my your videos.
Thanks Jenner! Ya i will be tearing it back down to possibly do a N/A setup with it or maybe a supercharger will see. Stay tuned
clean work broooo!!!
Thanks Eddie!
Good job
Thanks Yahia!
How dose a LS2 with ls3 heads a cam and 15% underdrive pulley make 800 ??? Is the piston and rods forged ?
Aggressive cam, proper timing, hefty injectors and some boost is about all you need. But this guy is a competitive drifter, so of course his pistons and rods are forged. Who would build a boosted ls and not go with forged internals?
Turbo charged. Yes forged rods and pistons
Mesinnya sederhana , cuma menggunakan satu chamshaf dan delapan katup . Tetapi menghasilkan tenaga 800 HP
Who makes that lower girdle and scraper combo?
Improved Racing. Didnt work though. Engine still starved of oil
Did I miss the lifter tray install? Great build!
These are racing lifters and dont require the tray. Thank you
Damn i want you to work on my ls2 😄👏🏻👍🏻
Lets build a race engine haha
Replace the factory oil pump, because the by-pass valve failed in mine.......STROKER TIME
Only one question, why does you need to assemble yourself this engine? isn't it brand new?, did you buy it in parts?
I'm guessing he started out with a stock engine, took it apart and had the machine shop bore it out a little so he could put bigger pistons in it. Then he put all new parts inside the engine to make more power
This is not a crate motor. It is built from bare block up.
I started out with a block given to me for free. After that I just pieced everything together
Is this made for reliability?
Nope. The intent is to make it last a season then I tear it down to refresh it
Great video. Subscribed!
Thanks man
Did you order a kit or was your rebuild all custom picked parts?
great content bro keep up the good work
Thanks Yoodle!
Maravilloso trabajo.
All I want for my hugger orange Camaro is that
Good color ;)
4:03 wow he left a camera inside his engine
it adds 300 more hp
XD!
3 min is all you get!!!
Like Bernie Mac said hold your breath for 3 min!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No way I could hold my breath for that long lol
Have you ever had a block with top fuel hoops installed? And do you use 4 into 1 corner steam vent
Never done that or heard of it. Ya the steam ports were 4 to 1
Nice build man.
I’m doing the same with a LQ9 block .
Did you get any machine work done?
Thanks dude! Lq9 is super bullet proof. Ya although the machine work was outsourced
Nice time lapse....now where can I get a windage tray, baffling, and oil pan like that!?!?!?!
Thank you! Improved Racing
@@masonthedriverthank you for the product info and a great video.
Are those 8mm pedestal mount rocker arms?
the ls3 head are awesome I got them on my g8 they come stock with them well on the 6.0 blocks and of course the ls3 but I bought new Chevy performance ones that was cnc ported and had brain tooley racing springs and better flow but I should've Machine the head for higher Compression ratio I want to put one of those hair dryers on maybe 2 that or a blower haven't decided but this build gave me ideas thank for sharing also was wondering about those rockers you got what are the ratios on those
Ya their good heads. So whats your question
Nice work man
Thank you Mr Vee
Wow that's cool very inspirational for ALL UP COMING ENGINE BUILDERS!!! NO MATTER THE TIME LAPSE GET A REAL JOB!!! DONT DO IT. ALL THE LOSERS WILL SAY IT ONLY TAKES 1 HR....
A little confused by your comment Dick. This engine took 2 weeks to preassemble before I did the final assembly that your watching. I encourage people to go out into the shop or garage and tinker on their project. Too many people feel something is overwhelming and they dont do it. My intention with all my vids is to go out and DO and TRY.
So what will roller rockers help with?
Where did you learn/gain experience on how to do this? Nice build 👍🏽
Nice, but How much would something like this cost to build or buy it built already?
Yay! Gloves!
Wonderful when sweaty
Any particular reason you went with those rocker arms? Did they come with those pedestals?
At the time they didnt break the bank. I would have rather gone solid roller lifter and used Jesel
Great video Josh ,what brand lifters do you use
Thank you Peter. Those were Comp link bar lifters
Nice video
Thanks man!
Respekt man 💪🏻
Thanks JT!
