Cletus showed us 2000hp is ok, 2500 is not. Reliable is always dependant on definition and maintenance. I personally would love a 2000hp engine with hydraulic lifters and no screwing around. Just pull it out, drive to the track, change tunes, run a 7, change tunes and drive home. Texas speed has a 1200hp combo that will do this, Steve is on another level but that level comes with lots of valve lashing for the drive, which kinda ruins the "drag and drive" for me. I'm one of those odd people that only wants to go as fast as my laziness takes me...
Glad to see Dewey keeping a close eye on your work. I lost my shop dog yesterday and it sure has felt empty in the shop without him after 17 years. Motor looks great!
Humble in admitting a mistake, love watching professionals admit and correct their mistakes without all the negativity. Can't wait to see the dyno numbers!
An amateur complains and explains their mistake. A pro will make the mistake go away. The biggest thing about a pro is the way they act. They calmly solve the issues presented to them without any blaming, excuses, or drama. (Although is an explanation the same as an excuse?)
Love this series can't even imagine how much thought and design goes into a build like this you have to be extremely proud its beautiful like a fine piece of jewelry but useful.
Thanks Steve for the video. Absolutely beautiful machine work. I’m a toolmaker by trade so I luv anything that’s machined Perfectly. That engine is a work of art. You should be proud of your invention. Thanks again. Support from Australia 🇦🇺
That oil pan looks funny lol when you was putting it on if you glanced at it looks like a valve cover lol 😂 thanks for sharing buddy Those heads are amazing how you did the wadder lol
Thanks Steve for these videos!! Most "builders" like to keep secrets and hide info.. you are open, honest and have truthfulness. You admit to the failures and open to determine the cause. My hat is off to you!!!!!!
Steve you have truly made an engine there a work of art and it runs with 3500 HP what more could one ask for i remember when we were all chasing 600 HP just a thing of beauty
I am addicted to these videos you're taking my level of understanding with engines to a whole new level and someday I would like to own one of these engines!
When talking about the water passages in the cylinder heads, you said: "It's really clever... I think." No, it's not "really clever." It's freakin' brilliant is what it is.
Just got in from work and first video I watched was this. I love that you are sharing everything warts n all and I’m very excited to see the dyno pulls on this baby.
LOL! That was hilarious. "Everything works" (points to dog). Especially love how (deservedly) proud you are of your work. I understand this and would also want to show the world.
Hey Steve, gotta say I'm super thankful for this series and for all of the Steve tech videos. Really been trying to expand my knowledge on the engine building side of things and the way you describe things is clear as day. Id love to be an employee in your shop being able to soak it all in. Not many out there putting out information about every aspect of their proprietary setups or as detailed info on engine components and which to use based on your extensive experience. Just wanted to shout out a huge thank you from over here in southeast Michigan! Can't wait to see SML #1 roar to life! Maybe one day I can afford one🤣
You are a true trailblazer! Your innovation matches or exceeds what the early last generation leaders like edelbrock, smokey Yunick, and others did ...Its easy to copy, hard to invent!
You really are an innovator and an inspiration to hot rodders everywhere. I am sure your hard work and innovation will expand your already successful business to new heights.
Engine's looking great! The insight on the products is excellent. We utilize 7075-T6511 extensively in our product offerings, albeit in the firearms industry. The combustion chamber and runners on the SML heads are amazing. Need to find the detailed videos on them so as not to ask questions already answered. Dewey chilling out. LOL Awesome! "wadder". LOL Self deprecation is a good thing. We're all human and levity is appreciated. Suggest looking into Loctite 603 for the scraper's fasteners. It's oil tolerant and heat tolerant to over 400°F Cheers!

With a mechanical engineering degree and professional engine "building" and machine shop experience, my brain feels like scrambled eggs thinking about all the jacketing, flow and the awesome seal plates! Amazing stuff and thanks for mentioning parts program availability! ☆Bonus: no LS lifter trays!☆
Absolute work of Art Mr. Morris!! I’m sure it will perform as you expect it to in drag and drive endurance racing and will set new records like You and Tom Bailey did!
I appreciate you showing us that you too make mistakes, it’s hard to think of everything even as smart as well all can be, what a great solution. Looking forward to video 4 this series has been great!
I always love your videos Steve, they are always so educational!! I did have a question, I was wondering if you have had a chance to see the new DOHC flat-plane crank LS that is in the new Corvette ZO6? I would really love to hear a master engine builders thoughts on where GM is taking the Corvette engine.
This series is awesome and it’s great that you gots show all god or bad. Thanks for the tech videos help me figure a few things out on my big block build. Keep up the great content.
lol WADDER! Steve, this is so fun to watch you develop a monster street car LS. And I called it the other day with your sneak peak dyno, North of 3khp and you’re sayin 3500 here.
Great choice of music Steve! I do not pretend to understand every bit of your description, or understand all of your knowledge that goes into this build... butt, I am learning. Also: just how badly I would like to run one of your motors in a car I just love! J
So this is the beginnings of the 3000+ RELIABLE HP small block, pretty awesome to witness this…
glory to behold
I wouldn’t say small block just 3000+hp reliable LS. There’s been “small blocks” out there making more power but not in LS form.
@@TEAutobody either way ya wanna look at it this thing is gonna be crazy

@@leftyeh6495 you only gotta do all that lashing when it's on solid lifters
11👍's up Steve Morris thank you for sharing
That water jacket with the screw in plug IS very clever. Amazing.
Glad to see Dewey keeping a close eye on your work. I lost my shop dog yesterday and it sure has felt empty in the shop without him after 17 years. Motor looks great!
Sorry that sucks
The worst part of having a pet is saying goodbye. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
That hurts.
My mutt is my best buddy. My wife never wags her tail when she's happy.
Sorry, that's rough. Seems like the longer you got them rougher it is too and 17 is one hell of a run
Seeing Dewey the official Shop Dog finding an area to relax as close as possible yet out the way makes me smile.
he is certainly "Happy as Larry".

Those heads are a truly amazing bit of engineering and machining, thanks so much Steve for putting these video's together for us !!!!
Love it when a guy has so much pride in his work and design
Love it, those valley plates were pure satisfaction. Can't wait for the dyno session
Steve, that SML is one heck of a BEAUTIFUL piece of mechanical high performance art!!!
SUPERB!!
I love how precision parts fit together. So satisfying. A true thing of beauty.
gotta love mans best friend, Dewey is always by your side. motor looks awesome!!
Everything a LS aspires to be, sick design as always from SM.
Those extra valley plates came out perfect.
Can't wait to see these in some racing applications
Can’t wait to see dyno runs with 2500 plus wheel hp then see how many runs it can make without failures
Fantastic, So wonderfully explained. Never hiding "mistakes". Showing the whole process
Love this series can't even imagine how much thought and design goes into a build like this you have to be extremely proud its beautiful like a fine piece of jewelry but useful.
We like the Dewey updates. Thank you for showing us the build out. This is an amazing motor.
So you are inventing the wheel!!! This stuff is gorgeous, Steve!!! Love this series, in particular!!
Thanks Steve for the video. Absolutely beautiful machine work. I’m a toolmaker by trade so I luv anything that’s machined Perfectly. That engine is a work of art. You should be proud of your invention. Thanks again. Support from Australia 🇦🇺
Machining has come so far, the quality with the complexity is so nice 😍
Aside from all the engine porn and plethora of knowledge being dropped in every video, you've greatly stepped up your time lapse music game.
You don’t build engines. You build the best art work on the planet
Love the content! This is right up my alley. All the finite details is what I’m in to.
That oil pan looks funny lol when you was putting it on if you glanced at it looks like a valve cover lol 😂 thanks for sharing buddy
Those heads are amazing how you did the wadder lol
l think Dewey would approve.....AMAZING ENGINE WOW 🤩....Thanks so much for going into the detail Steve.....Shoemaker🇺🇸
Great content. Shout out to all the guys in the shop and everyone else in the background that are involved. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
LOVE the six head studs!
Doubt if somebody lifts a
with that setup!
I was impressed before, but now bowing down to a king of billet motors.
That engine needs to be in a glass case right next to the famous artifacts of the world. A freaking masterpiece!!!!!!!!
i can't wait to see the numbers this beast puts together on the dyno ,, it's a thing of beauty
Just think about it, someone can watch these videos and see their engine being built. How cool is that
Thanks Steve for these videos!! Most "builders" like to keep secrets and hide info.. you are open, honest and have truthfulness. You admit to the failures and open to determine the cause. My hat is off to you!!!!!!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Integrity 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
For the first time I skipped over cleetus’s video for this one! Thank you for showing us all this!
Thanks!
Steve you have truly made an engine there a work of art and it runs with 3500 HP what more could one ask for i remember when we were all chasing 600 HP just a thing of beauty
That sir is a thing of beauty and thought out function. thanks for the update.
I am addicted to these videos you're taking my level of understanding with engines to a whole new level and someday I would like to own one of these engines!
What beautiful and amazingly engineered engine. Cannot wait to see it perform!
Love this series. Could watch performance engines going together all day ; )
When talking about the water passages in the cylinder heads, you said: "It's really clever... I think." No, it's not "really clever." It's freakin' brilliant is what it is.
spin the engine towards you - it will just fall out - lol.. LOVE THE SERIES STEVE....
I Love being part of this build, you explain everything about it like it is my engine!!!
Thanks Steve for Sharing!!!
Your engine's are well engine works of Art. It's amazing that Dewey just Lay's there and makes you work around him. He is awesome
Just got in from work and first video I watched was this. I love that you are sharing everything warts n all and I’m very excited to see the dyno pulls on this baby.
Lots of good wadder content Steve. Love the content and information. Nothing in the world compares to the Steve Morris experience.
You’re a damn engine artist Steve!
I do believe that Steve could build the next space shuttle. Given a little time. He'd just figure it out.
Excellent video, again. I"m lovin' the Beach Boys/Surfaris/Ventures/ music vibe ...
The dedication you have spent in your lifetime dedicated to making the baddest motors and combos and parts is absolutely impeccable 🤘😎🇺🇸
Amazing content and details Steve, thanks for sharing it all!!!
Steve, the more I watch your videos the more impressed I become. You sir are truly a master at your craft.
This is absolutely amazing stiff dude. Guy is a wizard
Can’t wait to see the dyno numbers on this beast.
LOL! That was hilarious. "Everything works" (points to dog).

Man I can't wait to see these things on the Dyno & being used in 'real world' applications!
One word, Craftsmanship.
Man what a beauty, I think you guys killed it on the whole design of the SML 👏
You really are an innovator and an inspiration to hot rodders everywhere. I am sure your hard work and innovation will expand your already successful business to new heights.
Really injoy the content keep up the good work that LS engine is a work of art 🎨
History in the making 👍👍👍👍
If you haven't seen part 1, 2, 3, or 4. Go back and get your learn on. Really want to learn go to Steve's Tech playlist.. Thanks Steve this is great.
Thank you so much for the videos. Your engines really are a work of art.
That's a one of a kind one mean lean killer machine your one hell of a engine builder awesome work bro you the man
I’m literally watching history being made… HISTORY people!!!!!!
This is some screaming eagle American freedom!
The stuff all car guys dream of owning one day! Love the channel 👍
VERY NICE Engine build Steve!! Can't wait for the dyno!!
You're an absolute genius Steve!
It's like a piece of art.

Point me to your website please. You said firearms and my wallet cringed...
Or use the larger outside diameter Nordlock SP's washers

It’s not a “problem” it’s a engineering find.
Absolute work of Art Mr. Morris!! I’m sure it will perform as you expect it to in drag and drive endurance racing and will set new records like You and Tom Bailey did!
That dog ♥♥♥
Horsepower is cool but I'm here for Dewey.
I appreciate you showing us that you too make mistakes, it’s hard to think of everything even as smart as well all can be, what a great solution. Looking forward to video 4 this series has been great!
Work of ART Steve! Beautiful piece
Great video Sir never saw no builder explain the details on what he was doing and why like you do.
I always love your videos Steve, they are always so educational!!
I did have a question, I was wondering if you have had a chance to see the new DOHC flat-plane crank LS that is in the new Corvette ZO6? I would really love to hear a master engine builders thoughts on where GM is taking the Corvette engine.
that head bolt hole water jacket solution is sweet
Congratulations dear subscriber.
You have been selected among my lucky winners of the week. Send a direct message to claim reward. 💪🎉❤️👍🥂.
That’s one badass BOWTIE over 3,000HP
Tolerances are so good the man doesn’t need bolts!👍👍👍
I like the improvemt wadder jacket plugs ...you get what you pay for and that is a lot in this example.
I remembered the first steve morris motor in hot rod mag 2000ish
Really nice work and thank you for sharing.
...love the series, Steve - much respect for coming clean on little mistakes along the way - cant wait to watch every night after work !
That is some absolutely beautiful machine work man.
That is so damn cool it's unreal the new intake will be so cool love it
This series is awesome and it’s great that you gots show all god or bad. Thanks for the tech videos help me figure a few things out on my big block build. Keep up the great content.
lol
WADDER!
Steve, this is so fun to watch you develop a monster street car LS.
And I called it the other day with your sneak peak dyno, North of 3khp and you’re sayin 3500 here.
I love these multipart series builds. Hope to see the Boostmaster wagon back in action soon also.
Soon
Great time lapse background music.
Thanks for sharing this incredible journey! This is such an impressive engine!
Thank you Steve for taking us along! Can’t wait to watch the next video
ok, dog jokes aside, having owned a machine shop, I'd love to shake the hand of the guy that writes the code for those parts!
Great choice of music Steve! I do not pretend to understand every bit of your description, or understand all of your knowledge that goes into this build... butt, I am learning. Also: just how badly I would like to run one of your motors in a car I just love! J
Awsome Steve cant wait for the denominator
