Cody Nadler - the engine assembler and Dave Carnkock - shop manager at Karl Performance This weeks interview is a Chevelle Update with engine assembler Cody Nadlen at Karl Perfomance. The interview takes place LIVE from the assembly room at Karl's! Cody is an experienced builder and he took time to walk me through the process he is using to build my junkyard LS engine to high horsepower status. In a previous episode (Episode 180) we talked to COMP Cams about which parts to use in the engine and in this episode Cody installs them.
This engine is a production LS based V8 out of a Denali, it came from the factory with VVT (Variable Valve Timing) and DOD (Displacement On Demand). Cody told me that he does not work with those features much as he is more concerned with stripping the engine down, getting it back to basics, and moving on with the job of making horsepower. He said that DOD is great for economy and regular highway applications but in a street rod the owners prefer all power all the time |
