it just baffles my not how engines work but how they got all the timing of the crankshaft, pushrods, distributor, and sparkplugs all working together in perfect harmony
@Beef1188 Even many new Dodge and Chevy engines are still using pushrod. They can't seem to break away from the technology. NASCAR is stilling using pushrod - you'd think in the racing industry they'd want to switch to 4 valves per cylinder.
@chamote A diesel engine does not have spark plugs. The compressed (hot) air at the top of the 2 stroke is injected with diesel fuel and ignites. Instead of a fuel intake valve, a diesel engine has an air intake valve and an exhuast valve.
@lilaznmage15 it is the water pump, the pully isnt added to it till the end of the video, were the alternator is on the left side of the block next to the head
@Deciblaster So equally, in the 1990's, Ford came out with the SOHC 4.6L V8. This produced 215 HP and 285 lb.-ft of torque. Fuel economy was rated 16 city / 22 highway by the EPA. These cars were also known to be made of cheap materials, and thus, didn't last very long under hard driving, at least without major repairs. This modular engine also ate head gaskets for breakfast. Corvettes of the same period used a 5.7L LT1 V8. They produced 300 HP and 330 lb-ft of torque...
@esfreerider yeah its a different engine that my father put in the truck when he owned it, but that was in 58-59 dont remember. The engine does have 345k miles on it and the body about 80k more.
TPI rules, have it in my 87 ta. This thing is a torque monster for a factory setup. It does have hp flaws bc the runners arent straight but it promotes tq bc of how long the runners are but when it comes time to upgrade, get the larger manifold, runners, and throttle body from tpis and this thing will be equal in hp and tq in its design.
It doesn't have any spark plugs or spark plug wires, either (does have a distributor, though). No idea if there's a rotor, as the distributor is just blipped in to existence with the cap on.
Well I noticed one incorrect item that was placed on the engine. YES youll read about spark plugs and oil pump but mine is something that everyone failed to notice. Someone mentioned HEI Coil in Cap distributor and they failed to realize that these engines did not have that type of HEI distributor. My 87 IROC had an external coil that mounted on the engine. I love the old Coil in Cap distributors. Fully self contained and the easiest way to change from a conventional to an electronic ignition.
@PivotSk8erTommy possibly yes he forgot it but if its a diesel drived car it doesnt need spark plugs because it makes big compression wich makes the fuel mixture explode by itself :)
That distributor is GM's Electronic HEI (High Energy Ignition) type. It looks weird because the design allows for the coil to be mounted in the cap. AKA "Coil In Cap" design. This style of cap was primarily used on all GM Chevy's in the 80's- early 90's V8's. It was a great design but sometimes aggravating to install. Of course those GM distributors were aggravating to deal with just because they were on the back of the block.
Depends on what's important to you. Chevrolet decided they'd go with a larger, heavier engine to get better mileage and more power. Like anything with an internal combustion engine, it's a trade off. Nevertheless, soon enough, BMW engine packages will be larger because they'll be adding turbos to them to comply with emissions regulations.
@madjimms a ford ranger 2.3 is rated at 23 highway and 20 city, i average 20. my brothers full size chevy scottsdale with a tbi 350 gets the same gas mileage. it doesn't make sense. it just depends on the car and the engineering. infact i have a 302 ready to drop into my truck, it will get the same gas mileage, but i will have over twice the power. sounds like a good deal to me.
I guess it all comes down to what I'm happy with. I don't need a 1000 horsepower car for the street. My pushrod 302 made 320rwhp and the 408 made 462 rwhp without the supercharger. Plenty of horsepower for the street and sounded great to me. Our views are matter of opinion and relativity and are not fact.
?????pushrods instead? the camshaft is in the center of the block....it's the shaft that the larger sprocket of the two in the timing set was connected to. it spins 1: 2 with the crankshaft, it raises lifters in the block that drop in on top of them, they in turn lift the pushrods, move the rockers, and open the valves
@ZWILD1 Modern cars in Europe even some older (Audi 1986.)using variable intake manifold technology to improve flow at low rpm. New Ferrari 458 produce 90% of torque at early 2800-3000rpm and hold it all to 9000. Even some version of Honda engines have same system, Audi, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Mazda, Ford, Jaguar, Lancia, Mercedes, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Renault, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota, Fiat... Technology gives more advantages to D/S-OHC than to OHV engines.
@shadowgrinch you can call it a diesel all you want but ive never seen a duramax with chervrolet on the valve covers i just think he forgot the plugs LOL
Wow, an ingenious statement...the cars in my vidoes don't appear to be mine because someone else was filming me driving them. Gee Earl, I guess by that theory there are a lot of folks out there being videotaped who don't own their cars. I guess those of us who do own our cars are to fasten a camera to a 50' pole, hang it out the window and film ourselves. BRILLIANT! You're a real winner... arguing on youtube videos. Must be laid off or something.
@Deciblaster ...but also chugged gas; 15 city / 22 highway. And it could only seat 2 mid-sized people. Also, how exactly are turbos "POS"? Why, because they run off of the exhaust instead of a pulley (which adds strain and poorer MPG)? Because they don't have much of an effect on a lower-revving American car as they would a foreign car that redlines at 8,000? Tell me please, because I'm curious.
@Deciblaster Why would someone need more than 100hp? please explain.... Driving across town to work doesn't require any more (in fact you can do fine with 40hp) Why have more power & not better fuel economy? Instead of adding extra cylinders, why not make those 4 cylinders twice as efficient?
Music? Sir, this animation was created in expensive software, in which one slightly off click could ruin this animation, which i might add probably took quite a bit of time, and you ask for MUSIC?!
@awesomepat because I don't actually know the firing order of this vehicle I bought. Also how can I work out the compression ratio of the engine? is their a simple way for me to do this? Original the engine is a 1liter engine (1000cc) but am looking at making the pistons increase compression. So this is why I need a simple way to figure out the firing order before i proceed.
@GeorgeC1992 well since I boosted my car I do it once a week if it wasn't I would do it every 1000 miles or so I like to maintain my cars so I stay on top of every little detail and since I race it cuts down on some of the wear and tear but atleast anyone buying a motor or car from me knows that it's super clean =)
angel lab's MYT engine looks nice but they dont show it in use anywhere on the site And what i do is 3d-modelling, not building engines :P all i needed the software for was to get good details of engines to re-model the parts
@Adriangrosvenor The first cylinder in front is always number one in firing order! well look it up in wiki.....look for firing order is much more easy!
@mattcossel29 this video is old school 350 and thats what i was talking bout now dats dual cams are everywhere i think in opinion only theres to much extra movement and its unnecessary
Thumbs up if you noticed the alternator being misplaced in the picture at the beginning of the video! Check first pic vs last images in video! AND O YEA BOO YA
I Like this video, I have not dismantle this style v-8 yet I am use to the carburetor, type intake manifold I know you didn`t include everything but there is enough for me to get it. IThank you
Why was it aggravating? Well, when it came time to drop the transmission, you had to remove the cap, or else you would break it against the firewall while lowering the trans and engine together. I like the DIS best!
