Hello Nick, great build! A while ago I built an old school 427 rat. 11 to 1 comp, solid lifter cam .595/.621, Chevy iron rectangle port closed chamber heads (could not afford modern aluminum heads), Weiand Track Warrior single plane intake, 850 Holley DP. 562 HP 6300 rpm dyno tested. Engine is in my 1970 SS Nova.

@@antilaw9911 I think it was around 510 or so, not as high as Nick's build. The engine was going in my light weight pro street/bracket 70 SS Nova with a TH400, 10 inch 3500 stall and 4.56 gears. We were tuning for peak HP and used 38 degrees timing as suggested by the Chevrolet Power book.

@1980bwc Месяц назад

One of the greatest engines ever developed. Its my favorite big block. My dream is to build a 69 Chevelle 300, with every option delete you could get in 69, drop in an L88 speced 427, with a Rockcrusher. Making it a tribute to a 69 COPO car. Only options i need in it, are a steering wheel, a shifter, a seat, a clutch pedal, and a gas pedal. Dont even need a brake pedal. 😂

Only option I would add is Astro Ventilation.......

fun times for sure. Tuning or just tinkering every weekend. Now it's boring -- plugs maybe once a year, oil and filter every 3-4 months. Modern engines just don't make the same 'thunder' and some even don't make any noise at all- some even make fake noise. Sacrilege.

@davidkinney4486 Месяц назад

A bare block that had been stored for a long time, from about six months to three years, somehow makes the block much harder. One of the secrets to an engine block lasting a long time depends on how nimble the engine block is. With the constant heating and cooling, the engine is constantly expanding and contracting of which the engine block eventually will warp. With an iron block that is aged, it is less susceptible to being flimsy. The same goes for your diesel engine blocks, of which they are thicker than your contemporary gasoline powered engines.

@dallaswiens126 Месяц назад

Definitely valve float, bbc valve train is heavy and they don't really like to go above 6500 with hydraulic lifters

@keithiverson6687 Месяц назад

Came to the comments to find this observation. I agree, heavy valve train with a lot of potential flex and hydraulic lifters makes spring selection key.

@nickpanaritis4122 Месяц назад

Maxed out on valve springs with the hydraulic lifters.

@gentlegiants1974 10 дней назад

I'm no mechanic, just an old farmer. My biggest goal is to have an engine that starts and runs, day in day out, winter summer snow, rain, scorching hot, heavy loads. I have a 1978-80 era GMC 366 out of a dump truck in the shop now, hoping to drop it into a 1 ton dually as a farm truck. Has a New Process 5 speed bolted to it which is just fine for work. I never drive much over 90 kmh. Mostly loaded, hills, rough dirt roads. The staff at the local napa can't even find me plugs or wires on their computer, all I want is factory stock parts.

Hi Nick. Since you are doing a Chevy engine. I think you will enjoy this. One of my best friend's was a top engine builder who also knew Keith Black. We had built a small block Chevy 350 engine. Compression was 16.5 to 1 cam was 675/326 3/8 push rods if I remember correctly and I think the cam was 2 or 4 degrees advanced single carburetor. Turbo 400 transmission with a 5500 to 6000 stall don't remember what gears in the rear-ended it was only a quarter mile car a 1967 camaro. Two ring pistons.
