    I was taking an espresso machine repair class and the instructor was talking about the size difference between water pumps that determines how much traffic your machine can handle. I asked if you could swap out the pumps to be able to make more coffee. He didn't quite get what I was asking because I'm not great at talking. Eventually, I just asked him if you could LS swap your espresso machine's pump, and he said, "Hell, yeah! You a Chevy girl?!" gave me a hearty high five and proceeded to tell me how to swap in a bigger pump.
    Thank you Donut for educating, inspiring, and bridging gaps for different kinds of wrenchers.

      Some say that the early Vette's with the overhead cam engines (help from LOTUS) - combined with the knowledge that Cadillac was using an overhead cam V8 got 40rd and a lot of the others 'lured in' to thinking that they knew something! In fact, they did! 40rd started putting their car engines into pickups and failed miserably - but that failure, as 40rd owners know, was paid for by the customers... Now, what's 40rd doing with their "big gasser" (as far as cam location?)???? Oh, yeah, criticizing GM and MOPAR for sticking with overhead valves - calling them 'old technology', but 'secretly' going back to get a little DEPENDABILITY and LOW END TORQUE for their trucks... HMMMMMM. Do you think it was just a 'bait and switch' to get 40rd to go 'all in' with overhead cam engines???

I built a 93 Formula Firebird about 8 years ago with a 6.0lq4 and to this day its still that original old truck motor with several track event wins and even a track Championship in 2018 plus a ton of street race wins and 6 trips from Delaware to LSFest East!! My buddy and I also built a 68 Bird with the same setup we also raced/showed everywhere including lsfest! Now the headlights on my 93 sadly have blown motors bbuutt can easily be popped up and down with a drill and a 10mm to go street dig racing at night! Get well son! ✌

      Maybe he means an LS swap into a car that doesn't normally have one. Like if I took the LS out of my GTO and put it in my Miata

      Just make sure you're consistently checking the oil in that thing. Spun a crank bearing in mine and ended up Swapping an H/C/I LS3

    Guys, please use voice compressor. It's a device or audio plugin that narrows the range of sound loudness. It's built in every video editor such as Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut... In this video sound is either too quiet or too loud. It's absolutely necessary with cardioid directional microphone like one used in this video. If you wish, I can help you with that. Also, keep up the good work. :)
