Nothing I like better than a build it as cheap as you can engine build. Especially one with the goal of 10 second quarter miles. I consider buying second hand speed parts like buying a car that's a couple years old. Let the original buyer take the new price hit. You can find some great deals most of the time but every now and then you come across a seller that thinks their 5 year old used parts are somehow worth the same price as new parts (or more LOL).
@@brokejoebuilds5165 Oh, I must of missed you saying that. A 370 is different, you have to be the only one at the track with one of those. People must get flabbergasted when they here you have a 370 sbc on the loud speaker. Or do you call it a 350 at the track? Whatever you call it you sure do have it running good. Are you planning on going to the NNN this year?(No Name Nationals the tube of you race?) I think you need a thousand subs to enter though?🤔 Not sure though, maybe 500? But I do think there is a subscription amount in the rules to enter. If you are, I can ask the small channels to help with a sub and maybe a shout out if the NNN is a goal of yours? Let me know.😎👍
@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 I talked about it with my dad. He and I agreeed it would be cool, as I get closer to the date I would consider it more seriously, but as of now lets say 50/50.
@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 if someone asks I normally will give a load down on the combination.. unless it a grudge race, and if it keeps getting faster I might have to do that 😆
Keep an eye on the channel. Im putting an engine together soon that will be an example. I definitely dont have 10k in this life time. But its also being ready to make deals when they come.
Not broke, but definitely on a budget. Mostly second hand parts, example heads I got set up for a solid roller for 300 bucks. I ported them and they currently flow 50 plus cfm at peak. My time has value but it saves me too. I bulit the trans, rear etc. Even the roller shell was picked up for 2300 two years ago. So broke no, but I'll dare you to find a cheaper built low 10 second N/a car.
@@brokejoebuilds5165 I just pulled my 72 Ventura into the shop to start a very low buck build on it. I'll be detailing how much everything costs as it progresses. I do things a lot like you do, building rear ends, transmissions, engines, I do pretty much everything rather than paying a shop to do it. The difference is I run Pontiac engines, they can make a lot of power under 6000rpm for real cheap. I traded a guy a pair of 69 Chevelle bucket seats for the car with no engine or transmission back in the mid 90s. The seats came with another vehicle just so he could get rid of them, so the Ventura was essentially free. It was a straight six with manual brakes, steering, and a Th350, they were going to turn it into a dirt circle track car. Its a sleeper build, I'm not touching the body or whats left of the paint.
Well, they average Joe only makes so much money and I never had it so I never could afford to really build an engine like I wanted to so it doesn’t work even secondhand parts were expensive. You should know that I do admire everything that you seem to know what to do for as young as you sound, I’m 72 years old
Im 36 years-old, this is all I loved doing as a kid. My dad is a mechanic and used to race. He did the best he could with the limited founds. This you tube is really homage to him. My foundation he gave me, built my first engine, transmission, rear, taught me to weld and fabricate all by him. I just took what he taught me and built upon it. Thanks for checking on the channel. Im gonna do a buttom of the bucket cheap build soon.
Im interested in going fast cheap budget builds since everything is so expensive id like to copy you engine you should to a partlist but i would build other cheap motors like a 327 it would be fun to see what yoi could build with a 305 or 307 or 283 just to be different
I will be doing other builds and may do a odd ball in the future. The reality you can pick up 350 real cheap now and its almost counter productive to build anything with smaller than a 4in bore. I do have an idea for a fast cheap 350.. i mean real cheap and should be enough power to run well into the 11s.
Lol 😅 I'm working on it, the bbc will get in there. Im still gathering parts.. almost there though. I will have to build another transmission too. The sbc will go into the chevette long term.
This motor belongs to my green chevette. Since im doing the chassis on that car, i put it in the nova in the mean time. I have a 406 that I will be building on the channel, might end up in the nova as well. If I run a 9 with this motor I will be ecstatic. We try again this weekend
What does this car weigh ? Sorry if I missed it. Roll cage/bar ? My 383 71 Nova with power steering, interior, street drag radials mufflers and tail pipes over the differential and pump gas runs 10.28 just the way its driven 2000+ miles a year. I have about 8k in the engine.
If you can find the parts used that you'll need and they're good nothing new about using used parts. Every engine I've rebuilt was from a junkyard or second hand. Those JE pistons aren't cheap good find if they fit the bill. FYI pretty much everyone selling aftermarket rods are getting the casting from China even scat.
Good eye, they are sportsman II castings, but these are casted by world products. Both pairs I have are casted by world, the other set I have is a new casting more recent.
Weren't the Sportsman II heads one of the original aftermarket performance cylinder heads? I remember back in the mid 1990s my buddy had a 1974 Nova with those heads or similar name ending in II lol and they were ported so much that a couple of spots had to be brazed. Huge intake runners. Was kind of a slug until it reached about 3500 then the power band came on STRONG.
@@robertwest3093 exactly that they were originally made by dart and world makes the current castings. They have changed over the years, they can make power with porting. Alot of material to cut out!!!
220 afr. Howards solid roller cam 273/287 at 50 680/650 lift 112 Lisa rings gapped for a 300 plus. But probably won't see over a 200 maybe a 250 at the most because of the block. 1050 carb with super vic intake. 1.5 rockers 4500 stall with 350 trans with brake and 4.56 gears
I use a crank case evap set up so the exaust pulls the vacuum. Not enough oil should ever come out of the system. But Ive heard problems with them with mufflers that provide any level of back pressure.
I have blow by on my small block Chevy 350 in my S10 Blazer how is your setup what's the easiest way to go about this because Mom smokes out those and I have them hooked to the carburetor it makes it not run too well sometimes and get my carburetor dirty
@@brokejoebuilds5165 lol....yup have one going in a 2001sliverado ...replacing the v6.......aiming for 12s on motor and low 11s or better on the bottle!!!
I love an engine build like this, proves you don’t have to be rich to make decent power, I think you should push it into the 9’s with the iron heads, that would be badass. So these are Dart II heads or World Sportsman II’s?
