South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

@EddyRRT you figure out that knock yet?

 

Nope. Gave up

 

Time to build an eventual replacement motor

 

Lol that’s a 5.3 in the buggy. Cap has his Tacoma motor.

 

Lsx?

 

What @scottalot hears when you talk to him about motors

Shame on you mistaking good ol American hp for a v6 jap motor!

 

Crate engine I would guess.

 

No it was a used motor.

 

That's awesome.

 

Ahh, when Andrew said 5.3 I assumed Crate... So maybe from a 1500 or some such?

 

Haha, don't listen to me.

 

Yeah I would guess so. Maybe he'll chime in.

 

So you haven't heard about his plans to both turbo and supercharge it???

 

This^^^

 

Got the motor from Patrick's salvage in Summerville. It's 02 LM7 milage unknown.
Tranny is a 4l80e and tcase is a np241. All from the same place. Same with my axles two years ago.

Motor has a knock. I went far ass cleaning the push rods and lifters. I'm not going any further in on it. Currently looking out for another Motor to have built for me. I don't wanna be under 400 hp

 

Those LS engines are notorious for piston slap as well. Let me check with a couple guys up here I may know where a built one is if he hasn't done anything with it. I believe it is based off the 6.0l though if that matters to you.

 

If you wanna get rid of that motor on tha cheap keep me in mind. I want one for my ‘51.
