I did it! Built my first engine from top to bottom! I decided to go with a 6.0L LS block and hop up the engine with some good cylinder heads, a lope-y camshaft, and flat top pistons. Thank you to my amazing boyfriend Danny for guiding me through the build and letting me do all the work myself. I know it wasn’t easy for him to sit back and watch. I have learned SO much throughout this process and I know my next engine build will be even bigger & better!
Thank you to these companies for getting on board with my engine build:
AIR FLOW RESEARCH
CP CARILLO
GRANATELLI MOTORSPORTS
HOLLEY PERFORMANCE

Weld a nut on the vice. Then turn it with your impact and a socket.
Try and build a 6.4 Powerstroke, the head studs final torque to 275 ft-lbs with an ARP stud kit!
Great Job, Looks GNARLY!!
Rock on!!
You handled that crankshaft very well. That much weight and having to move it away from your body to get it into position is a challenge. Great work.
Good job happy for you ❤️❤️
Danny done taught that girl well on how to handle a shaft. Good job bro…I figured you'd be good for her. 🙂
She is adorable!
Awesome job! Nothing like building your first engine! I’ll be walking someone through this soon on a 318 LA and 5.3 LS
cant wait to see to see that car finished i know its gonna be badass
Your shop is so clean!!! Great job Liv and Danny!!
Great job, and very good combination
well done everyone has to do their first engine i did mine at 15years old done a couple since then I'm 66 now but still love building engines cars, bikes, trucks all the same to me, keep going liv
Nice job Liv
It does take a little muscle but the right tools help. Great job, pretty motor.
I don't always make it all the way through all your videos but this was my favorite by far!!! Great watching you make those little accomplishments. I hope after you build a couple, you make a how to series.
File fitting rings sucks SO bad. That was literally a full day in the garage doing mine. Cam bearings weren't too bad once I realized what the 2nd set of bands was for in the kit. I thought they were replacements until I rolled the edge of 1. So now I have an extra practice set to let people learn lol. Trunions, I bought the comp cams tool. It's pretty easy to set them up, snap ring is the hardest part with the tools
Great job nothing better super hot woman and motors
I will like to hear first start
Way to Go! Curious, why didn't you paint the block? I am an old school builder & an old guy.
As my father would say "you done did good, kid"
The stripper could do this with the right supervision

Now you know the work that goes into building an engine. Good job! So many people think it's just slapping parts on and bolting it in. There's way more than what you even showed. You should be proud of yourself. I don't know you, and I'm proud of you!
Congratulations on your engine build. Motor looks great!!
I have a ls in my s10 it's a beast
Great job! That's awesome!
