Okay guys here we go!

how do you all think this one would run?

4.8L bottom end with the -8cc 5.3L dished Pistons, 317 heads, and ls6, ls9, or ms3 cam all my friends have and aren't using because people gave me these parts for free and I can build an engine with them for some reason because they all bolt together !!!! Wheeeee!!!!!

I don't even have a car yet and I don't have any interest in tuning it no matter how much I read otherwise!!! what kind of oil should I use or how much I'm going to need to drill the throttle body, but I want to build this badass engine in my garage right now just to have it ready to go when I find the right rolling tragedy to put it in!!!!


I've read threads like these way too many times with you all because parts out there for these engines are just lying around everywhere nowadays, people are able to build some really pretty pathetic stuff because they can, though they shouldn't. I don't even think what I quoted up there would even run LOL, This post was of course a joke everybody, just a friendly reminder that compression is your best friend when you're building an engine on a budget and looking for a great result you can feel in seat of your pants. Happy Holidays everyone!

With those 5.3 pistons and those heads, your compression will be 7.78:1. It will be a DOG.
Just because something's free does NOT make it a good idea. This is a worst case scenario.
Don't use any of those cams either. Coupled with the above combo, it won't power a lawnmower
This sounding more like trolling all the time.... LOL
Build this.. I wanna see what happen next...

 

Op sucks....owned by reading comprehension

 

Read his post. I did the SECOND time and realized he was laughing thru the whole thing. Then I was too....
He thought up the ABSOLUTE WORST combo of parts, including the cams!! Good job, I must say...

 

Lol I got halfway through reading this and thinking this HAS to be troll post. Then I got to the end. Lol

Do not forget to swap to ls7 manifolds too

Well played, stockA4! had us going for a bit... lol

 

Yes I'm quoting myself because I speak of prophecies that come true has anyone bolted my one of my above combinations together and then come on here begging for help tuning it?

 

Haven't seen it YET, but I don't doubt it happening here... (BUT I got the stuff FREE, man! Which makes it cool, RIGHT??? LOL)

 

But, But.... NOS?

 

To safely get the 500hp dry shot of NOS past the intake tract and into the 4.8 drift motor, the OP will need an LS1 intake with EGR. It will need an adapter & two TB spacers so the 120mm TB will fit.

The 120 TB & EGR are critically important for the big dry shot.

1) The big TB is needed to funnel all of the Vin Diesel like awesomeness the big 500hp dry shot.

2)The EGR cover plate will act as a high tech blow off plate if there is a NOS hiccup/burp and protect that premium LS1 intake manifold.





😉 😆 🤣

 

Lol and WUT? 😆

 

Giving sum armchair internet racer wizdums to maximize the inefficiency & lameness of the 4.8 Drift build.

 

I'm waiting to see who all takes this LS wisdom to heart....

 

would this setup benefit from the bronze trunion upgrade?

 

He was thinking of using PVC pipe nipples... money's tight... lol

 

Don't forget to ditch the fuel injection and slap a Quadrajet on it...

 

Joke build or not what's really sad is the fact that this combo probably would still make considerably more power than most engines from the late 70's to the mid/late 80's. They were lucky to make 170 flywheel horsepower lol

 

Don't knock the Quadrajet, It was actually a great carb if you knew what to do with it and it wasn't warped from over tightening.

 

...or leaking from the plugs in the bottom

Agreed a properly set up Q-Jet is amazing to behold...as close to fuel injection level daily driver friendly as possible...with a carb.
