Ok, that’s how I’ve thought wreckers should work for years. Bring vehicles inside at the very least.
Nothing worse than finding exactly what you need in the yard but ruined by weather or a knob who didn’t feel like just unplugging the loom.
Some people run businesses, some people run a joke. Now you have the physical representation of a business, not a joke.
When the parts are worth enough, it makes market sense. Most of the outdoor self-serve yards that I've been to only carry older stuff that just wouldn't be economical to give this much effort and money towards.
@@dallasvanwyk Agreed. If it wasn't profitable businesses wouldn't do it.
Theres a difference between a self serve and a wrecker like ACM.
ACM is not a wrecker yard, and this is reflected in the price.
This is the type of ad I like, Haven't even heard of this place
ACM. What an awesome operation!
Thank you!
Wow this is a hell of a company. I'm over in the US so I've never heard of them but they sure seem to have a massive facility. Hearing about the engine warranty and agreement to pull-n-pay if something unseen goes wrong is a huge deal. That tells me they stand by their QC and trust their parts picking system. I hope you can work with them more in the future as they deserve some spotlight for bringing the wrecking yard into the current online era.
I'm here in the US too, and I'm stunned at how well ACM operates! The Australians have this down! We're still stuck in the slog-through-the-mud to see if it's still there and if the weather hasn't ruined it.
I've used scrappys (aka wreakers aka junkyard) in the UK that work in a similar way. They pull all the parts off and put them into stock, rather than just leave you to pull the parts yourself, but they were just a big shed, not a massive warehouse like this.
Never heard of them.. good to know now 👍👍
1uz sitting on shelf singing "it shudda been me"
Was hoping to see a 1jz just to see how you tackled certain things but it’s obviously fairly common and haven’t seen a tonne with LS so gonna be super interesting
easy swap, just wiring. Haltech controls everything these days or run dual ecus.
@@Mr_jz_12 Yeah I’ve got a 1jz is200. Don’t need to run dual ecus that’s old school. I’m running everything off stock 1jz ecu
@@wild84u oh awesome. I haven't looked into it for a while, but people were having issues with certain parts of the car not working for a while that way?
I just watched a 10 min ad and I'm really not mad. Well made, Benny... 😁
Thanks for your support :)
ad with no BS isn't an ad.
Thank you for being who you are
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie 😂
I think the ACM guy did some homework on you, Benny! Out of the box, this project sounds to have more than sufficient power. Awesome! FR
What an awesome video. This is sweet. Looking forward to the rebuild of the IS200.
wow this is incredible so clean, neat and organized. working there must be awesome
YES! I was hoping for an LS build series!! Can’t wait for the next video!! 😁😁
So how much was the LS package re motor and gearbox etc ? I know a Barra is approx $200 as a motor and the manual box is prolly near on 2k now unless a bargain can be found :(
Now that is one epic operation!
Massively excited, to see the LS in its new home 😄
Benny's custom works. I was so excited to see the k24 swap...... do some k series stuff down tue track please. Such good engines
It’s on the cards
@@BennysCustomWorks maaaaaaaaaad
Yeah I guessed itll either be a k series, 3sgte or LS. Definitely learnt toward LS more for the fact they're torque houses whichll be beneficial for drifting or even laps on track. Keen to see the build commence man ✌
This is what all wreckers should be aiming for. ACM is all over it. Will check them out when I next need parts. Thanks Mr Benny for the episode.
If you like Paying full retail!
I’ll be following this closely, been waiting for an is200 update for a while haha
Sweet upgrade for the IS200!
Got a build coming up now I'll know we're to source the parts I need 👍
YES!!! LS you love to see it!
was worried you were going to barra swap again
New age wreckers eh? I wonder if they have any Energy Polarisers in stock? Brocky would be proud. 👍😁
Brocky would be spewing Holden went bust let alone not even stock Energy Polarisers as heritage parts from Holden not a wrecker.
Congrats on the 100k subs dude
Ohh yeah.. can’t wait for the content man 🥰 lovin the ls, even thought I’m a barra at heart
Hell of a lump to shoehorn in the IS200, Benny. It's going to be a beast. Interested to hear about the comparative masses of the engines & gearboxes. Party time!
Have an LS in my is300 however going turbo. LS fits super easy. You'll get it done in no time.
Hmm LS
thought you would have other options
I’m sure it will turn out to be a very interesting series
Informative as usual 😀
Bang for the bucks, that's a good choice Benny. I can smell the tyre smoke already.
Very excited for the LS swap on the IS! As soon as i saw those 4 engines i knew you were going LS, you have done the Barra a lot, that V6 was too modern and the K while it's a great option, the best thing to use for a RWD manual K swap is a BMW transmission and i guess they are hard to find in Aus and expensive to import, so, LS was the best option! 😁
Up the 1UZ
Ew
1UZ is a great engine, BUT, is now rare in Australia, is really old, never came with a manual gearbox and only half the power of this warm L77.
Smart choice for budget, dimensionally, weight, parts and hopefully reliability
LS is a good pick. Great package for it's price.
Not the cheapest option to buy in the first place, but with simple mods is a capable engine.
Plus should fit mint in the IS200's bay
your a legend mate.
This is amazing
cool video, would be interesting to watch them pull that drivetrain for you.
Benny! You're the best
I was really hoping for the 4GR, would be cool to see more different engine swap combos rather an the usual LS/Barra swaps that are so common these days. Regards I’m keen to see where this build goes.
ACM looks to be a very well organised wrecking operation, but why do we need to call them to find out what they have in stock? Seems bizarre that they've gone to all the trouble of wrapping, storing and cataloging their stock, yet they don't make that catalogue available to potential customers on their website. That's weird....
Yeah mate I looked at the website also, pretty crap to be honest. Lots of fancy pictures and no prices or stock available.
@@Degekoify Would likely be a business 2 business setup. Bodyworks and mechanics would have a portal to check with direct.
ACM parts are owned by insurance companies!
Looks sweet! Have to say, I wish the Holden Ute SS would come to the USofA.
Don't hold your breath dude, Holden stopped building cars in 2017,
and as of 2020 they even stopped rebadging and importing and the brand was officially retired.
Holden is dead.
Good deal, I was kinda hoping for an obscure motor swap, but you can’t argue with LS power
Needs more 2GRFSE
Best wrecker to deal with in Melbourne, by far.
I was hoping for a 1uz, as we're doing that swap in a IS pretty soon ;)
I was hoping it would be a 3UZ because that’s what I want to put in my is 200, and I’m interested to see what’s involved. Still be interesting though.
I'd love a 3uz myself too.
Whats a 3uz?
@@biggity6545 Toyota/Lexus 4.3 litre quad cam V8
Bloody beauty, LS. Can't go wrong. Looking forward to the build series for this one!
Pleased the GR still got an honourable mention though, remember what those 4l hiluxs with the 1gr were like at albany?
@@64-bitMicro Long time Joe! Yeah I remember those. Had great torque. Would be great to see more done with those motors
Acm is good concept some times execution isnt there when you have people picking parts of the shelf that dont know one engine fron the next, bought a alloytec from them first one came wrong code, second engine was a suzuki vitara 4 cyl lol third time we got there
Yeah. ACM sources motors from other wrecking yards as well and panels and other stuff as well.
Good service, offering R and R on first startup.
Will be a sweet conversion. Headers might be fun on driver's side. Nothing a big bloody hammer won't fix (or angle grinder)
Yes.... looking to split around the knuckle at this stage :)
When i saw the engines options i knew that the LS will be the way to go
finally a car on your channel that will make some torque 👍👉👌
Holy hell .... you actually went the LS 😯 thought this was going to be another Barra powered car for sure !!!
Stoked !! Can’t wait to see this build now 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
sweet. Ls conversion will be sick. Plz go into depth on the build.
Full build series coming. Strap in :D
@@BennysCustomWorks legend
3uzfe all the way. Handy swap to with the standerd gearbox
I would have done a 1J or 2J. Simple. Effective.. Ls will be good. 👍
Pre-warmed engine... Nice
Let's just hope it was looked after better than the rest of the ute.
Hopefully and it dosnt end up in an taylor ray debacle where he goes through ls engines like bog roll
I love the idea of an LS IS- gives me vibes of a modern day Japanese Torana that will be a ton on fun on the track.
Incidentally, I would be genuinely interested in any or all of the 1G parts you wouldn’t need anymore- piggyback loom, supercharger kit, any of that sort of gear.
Send the bcw page on insta or fb a message, can work something out.
ahhhhhh now i see why you were parting out all the old gear
Where was that ute parked at night? At the bottom of a boat ramp?
I'm blown away that I've never heard of ACM; talk about being in a bubble. No wonder I can't sell me X-trail fender on gummy.
Damn I was really hoping you would go a black top beams.
Put a guard on you grinder Benny.
Missed opportunity to have Marty's "In the bin" clip inserted after talking about the quality control department.
I was waiting for that too haha
Radio mics picking up the local taxis.
No substitute for a displacement increase.
It would just be a 2GR from an Aurion instead of the 4GR. Or seriously a 1UZ.
perfect example of how small the LS package is compared to others. long live the pushrod engines!
"Absolutely" ... "Fantastic"
I was hoping you'd go for the GR, I think the Hilux ones are only port injected, so that could be a way to avoid any direct injection issues for a conversion. Also means a W or R series gearbox should bolt up
3RZ?
IS is a sick looking car
Nice this is gonna be a good one...umm what happened to that ute holy moly 😳
Nothing like a junk yard that picks, sorts and arranges the best junk. My kind of place.
Wanted to see that K series HONDA engine in a build but, will have to wait for another car.
Helping a mate atm do this exact swap used a ls tuff mount kit almost went in the exact is engine mount holes
We used their generic ls fab kit :)
Sent them a message, after a Renault 182 gearbox, getting quite hard to find in Aus now....
Jarrod gives off strong nose beers with the boys vibes
Probably the only time he’s interesting
Amen brother
There is a different between "testing an engine" and just turning the key on
Ok Robbie
Surprising choice, LS is the most common IS200 conversion other than a 1JZ
Rod Millen did a 3UZ conversion in 2003 for Lexus
When I saw the title I thought this was it
Reliability for the power level was key. After breaking the 1g I really wanted solid power from an NA combo and hopefully it’ll open the gates for some na performance tuning in the future.
If you wanted cost effective its ridiculous not to go 2j it will bolt in and not be another bloody ls
I have time to make mounts and carry out the work. A turbo 2jz is $5k before you get rid of the twins, then r154, v161 or T56 conversion. The bellhousing and clutch alone is $2500 before you get a t56 or tr6060 so it’s much less cost effective.
Pleased the Toyota GR had an honourable mention. Starting with a 1GR or 2GR-FSE would be a better option that a 4GR, due to the port and dual injection. But that LS setup can’t be argued.
The best choice for the car, mate. There is a damn good reason everyone puts LS motors in everything!
I have a manual IS250 with the 4GR - I thought they used the same Aisin trans as the 6 Sp V6 Commodore? And if you were considering a 4GR but dropped it because of the direct injection - why did you not look at the 2GR which has both direct and port injection? And the Hilux 4.0 1GR is Port Injected with plenty of cheap manuals. None of those were ever going to seriously beat an LS though....
Nice Benny, that engine gonna look amazing in the IS. What an awesome place! Gonna need a wider tire where you're goin haha
Yeah already measuring up for some 18x10’s with 255 or even 285 rubber
@@BennysCustomWorks Just had a quick peek at a similar build, seems like the oil pan needs to be front sump (cut/bought aluminium) or notch the subframe/cross member (steel).
@@trustfire correct . The holden commodore VT-VZ sump is ideal but I already had a sheet aluminium baffled and trap doored sump so used that
@@BennysCustomWorks All over it! Just need some chevy badges now........ :p
Looking a bit expensive but they're obviously selling them. The best set-up for second hand bits, not rusting in the 200mm of rain etc.
Would have been less work to buy the full ute🤣
This will be cool

2:33 IN THE BIN
Nice choice of engine, strapping myself in for this build 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
The LS solves all problems!
I approve of this commercial.
Curious for a budget reasons how much would a L77 cost with the manual gearbox from ACM?
#LSTHEWORLD haha... keen to see what you do benny! i use to be a nissan boy and swore by RBs but when kids came along so did family movers... enter the commodores.. i have a VE ssv sportswagon and VE E3 clubsport. love both of them andwouldnt swap them for anything.
Rather see a 1JZ swap, but this is gonna be cool.
Yeah. I would’ve gone straight for the 1jz vvti and r154 myself as I’m a bit of a purist and the UZ is kinda overrated... I wonder if the LS and T56 would be the same price in Australia though.
Hell yeah ls the world 🤘
first acm promo iv seen..
Does anyone know of a decent online store for buying engines and transmissions etc?
