Official YouTube Video Thread

Gotta get ready to work so I'll watch it late. I watched the short intro and I'm intrigued. I've always wanted to put a destroked, short stroke crank in a big bore SBC...like 4.16x 2.6, perfectly oversquare. Oh, and a flat plane crank. Theoretically, I'm lookin' at 11.5K-ish rpm.
I guess I'll see what happens in the vid. That it's in an LS block might even be betterer. Who wants to have to spend $6K-$10K to get a bare gen 1 SBC block in aluminum?

 

These were filmed right in front of my office

 

No reason to go crazy on SBC stuff anymore. LS is the new SBC.

 

lol the stuck up cunt makes me want to buy harrys or gillete and I've enever bought either one of them.

 

You mean God King?

 

Sure there is...I wanna build a 1911, not a Wonder Nine.

 

I musta got mixed up. 15 secs turned into the next vid...which was some guy building a 11K LS.
FWIW, that's my idea of what american muscle should sound like.

Off to research LS* vs SBC...after I find that other vid.

 

LS won. But they both blew up on the dyno.

 

Been way too far with both and resisted snorting the LS dust for a very long time.
The hype is real, LS is better in every metric. Get it??? A PUUUUNNNNNN!!! Even working on them is easier, you only need 3 wrenches haha.

 

I'm okay with metric - I might not have to buy any new tools. I have almost zero SAE tools if you don't count the monster sockets for trailer balls.

I couldn't find the vid I thought I saw, then got carried away by life's happenings. Just musings for retirement really...

BTW, what would I put a short stroke/flat plane LS 4.7 into?

 

Superlite SL-C gets my vote for your retirement project.

 

After checking the SBC vs LS* debates, I'm looking into the SBF. Apparently, it's the LS's daddy or, more correctly, the LS* is the bastard stepchild of the SBF.

And "no" on the SLC. I'd rather have a GTR EVO but, seeings how they prefer Chevy power, I guess it's getting the axe, too.

I'm in no hurry*. With a SBF, this opens a couple/few previously closed doors - Shelby Daytona, GT40, really trim 1st gen Mustang fastback - just to keep some semblance of pedigree. Hell, I'd even entertain the idea of a slammed and aero-ed Pinto!

*The damn rabbit hole I fell into...

 

You're a sissy if you don't

 

I sometimes dream about a c3 vette with a bb set back 18 in. Add cabin mods so it's virtuously mid engine.
So many crazy possibilities.

 

Oh yeah. Had a '71 Camaro in the late '70s. Porsche had the 928 at the time and I thought, hmmm, why can't I put the transmission in the rear?
Turns out someone did their version of it at SEMA a number of years ago by dropping the Camaro body on a C6(?) chassis. Not the same thing.
The possibilities is what I really love about American muscle. Who gives a shit if it's practical...

Shiiiii-it. There's so much to play with there. Of course, most of it would get tossed into the dumpster, but I like the way you think. It has potential.

 

The Superlite GT-R is nice but I don't like the fender flares they have molded into it. Kinda ruins the flow of the body for me.

 

I misspoke when I said GTR EVO, I meant to say Ultima RS - the sequel to the Ultima Evolution, which was the sequel to the Ultima GTR, which was the sequel to...long history with that car.

That SuperLite GT-R is not appealing to me and I love GT40s more than I appreciate the Ultimas.
