Ls is old newsā¦ blow some minds with fords new godzilla motor. Lol
Sure if youre into refinancing your house for 1000hp. Theres a reason push rod ls ( single cam) motors a so desirable and buildable. Why not a bugatti veyron engine? Do they even sell forged parts for that ford engine?
Ls make great power for the money (im still a sbc guy myself) but we all could think of a better new more expensive engine.
I seen that engine as fords febrile attempt to try to regain some excitement , market share over their v8s since no one can swap their dohc engines in older vehicles easily . But there isnt anything after market for it . Ill get a diesel I have , before I waste gas using truck engine like that.
Hereās my baby ground up all gm Pontiac parts.except for twin 650 demons. 462 - 498 Hp 520 Tq duals under hood.

Pontiac made great engines back in the day well to the day they closed their doors. All american companies did actually. . Beautiful ride.

Excellent. I like a W16 Quad Turbo myself. 
But maybe a Soviet radial would be more funā¦ 
How many Germans does it take to start a Russian engine?
or a 2 stroke v8? ārudezonā

Well I agree on the refinancing part. But even new LS motors will cost your first born. The coyote 5.0 pretty much drops into everything. And the new godzilla engine is a pushrod motorā¦ that has been released to hot rodders before the production lineā¦ and thereās already turbo systems being built for multiple applications.
Plus if you look at an LS motor its pretty much built on a Ford platform lol
And tritonsā¦ fuck tritons lol theyāre like the mustang 2ās they exist but shouldnāt

I like treating them as if I was 18 again and do what I would have dreamed about doing back then if I had cash, oldschool hot rod with minor custom touches. Letās just say these cars are born the same year I was.,.came home from hospital in dads 65ā GOAT and I used to always see it in the old super 8 family moviesā¦

Im 40 years old all I do is play with cars , I own a machine and welding shop . Ive built and still build things most people dream about. Im a car guy . I just oringed a head last weekend.
Junkyard Ls motors make a reliable 1100+ hp. all day for years. Top lsx bottom end max hp dyno session is 1600hp . Coyotes breaks at 700ish. That stock. You cant fild a 10th the stuff for the coyotoe as you can the lsx.
My all forged stroked 383 . I built cost 6,000$ that was every nut bolt crank rod bearing cam intake gasket eco injectors turbo , everything. All forged . Made 1289 hp and 900 ish ft llbs tq 6 years ago. Still alive driven on the weekends. Thats why people love chevy . The morer companies that make parts , parts become cheaper fighting for their stance in the market.
Coyotes dont fit in anything with out server modifications that why the lsx won the war between the two.
All those swaps is why so many parts where made making the available for everything. Even the coyotes metal is poor they fall apart at moderate hp levels.
Anything could be made to have a turbo. Guys turbo lawn mower. Speed cost , just to say you have a certain engine is silly . Dollar for dollar you cant beat it. There have been so many shoot outs between the two showing that exact scene.
Go into the aftermarket so many people love it you can literally build any combo at a fraction of the cost , this why people love the lsx .
Coyote air flow design is great thats it but because of its dohc there arent heads for it. LSx has 10x the parts at a fraction of the cost. The Lsx isnt .
I have no allegiance to one company I own cars and truck s from all three big three 2 dodge dies , a jeep , gmc yukon , mkc with eco boost and fusion. Ford lost touch with its ( not stock muscle) performance v8 in 1997.
The coyote is a better design but so are so many other engines that are financially practical.
The godzilla has a few intakes thats it its a truck engine, Lsx will reign supreme like the sbc did from 1955.

Lol shit man, didnāt mean to hit a nerveā¦ back in the 60s muscle cars were big power. Now a stock 4 cylinder can beat most of them. Technology advances. Im 33 all i do is play with carsā¦ so whatever? Plus Iām a Ford guy, so obviously I prefer ford power over chev power.

Man, im a chevy guy as well. But, to say you built a 383 cubic inch engine with 1200 horsepower is a bold claim. And for 6000 dollars is a laughable statement. Ls motors have been around for 20 years now. Thats where the aftermarket support comes in. Dont get me wrong. I would definitely build a ls before a coyote motor. But, the coyote motor is really cool and chevy is following their foortsteps. The new zo6 is gonna have a flat planed crank overhead cam engine when it comes out in 2022 according to insider reports. Who doesnt want a 9000 rpm engine pumping out over 600 horses.

What do you mean hit a nerve? Where having a conversation. I couldnt be any more calm . I wrote that before bed . I know what im talking about and youre not going to tell me something thats just not true to support your opinion.
Cool did I miss your buils here? I didnt see them.
Your argument was the coyote can be swapped to anything easily thats false.
To make big dependable power with the lsx you need allot of money . Thatās false.
Its really not fair to compare a cars horse power from 70 yrears ago to something modern. The larger cubic inch will always be able to make more power if all things are equal.
Guys are doing more on less. I dont have a lsx I have a gen 1 sbc running ls ecm and ignition.
I dont want to post my build for security reasons. Ill pm it to any one who wants to see it. Remember im the machinist , welder and mechanic . Thats cost of pats.
Its a 88mm s488 , Thats able to support allot more than that power alone. Turbos are fun turbos make big power. I pmed you my build. Dont post it or hand it out.
Chevy may be taking ques from the coyote but I wouldnāt try to swap a new chevy into anything or build it. Im also not talking about stock vs stock. If im willing to swap a engine im going to modify it too.
Just because the lsx was built 20 years ago hp freaks are stilloking to build upon its success daily with redesigns.
I would say car makers are now doing what diesel engines have been for 30 years direct injection turbos and forged engines is the future.
Here is a stock bottom end chinese turbos this guy has a few thousand in his setup. The beauty of turbo chargers. To think a stock engine could make this why could a built one make allot less.

Holy shit whos bringing the tape measure to this cock measuring contest. The never ending joke has been ājust LS swap itā for anything power related (atleast among car guys, not sure about the lords machinists)ā¦ i switched it up and said godzilla swap it and you go on a multi chapter novel rant about how great you are and how nothings better than an LSā¦

Whats true is true. Ive yet to see your build from some one that has been playing with cars for his whole life.
Who said im great ? Is that how you see me ? I actually do stuff. I dont dream about it.
Your clearly upset because I dont support the same opinion you do. What you say is a novel is a few paragraphs because my opinion holds weight. We all dont have to have the same opinion. I was all for a educated discussion .
I am some one of great ambition and strive to do the best I can. Theres nothing wrong with that.
Fuck this phone and its spell check!!!
