Here’s Part 8 of the Facebook 5.3 LS build that Powell is doing. If you missed the first seven videos in this build, use the link below to check them out too. In this one he’s doing the final assembly of the long block after first getting the heads assembled and ready to rock! This long block is about to be ready for power pulls!
We’ve talked about Powell Machine’s videos here on BANGshift before, and I find them to be really informative and easy to follow. Now I’m a nut for engines, both naturally aspirated and power adder equipped, but if you aren’t you can still learn A LOT from watching their videos. In this series, dubbed the Facebook 5.3, Daniel is going over each step that they follow in building an engine at Powell and what you should know before having an engine built, or machined. This stuff isn’t just so you know if your machinist is doing things right, but also so that you know what you are actually paying for. It’s real easy to wonder why things cost what they do when you don’t understand what is actually going on.
