Darin Morgan Favorite Ford Engine, A Prized Possession, And Why He Threw Rusty Glidden Out Of Plane 

You could have Darin on 24 hours and have a captive audience. Kudo's to Darin for sharing his knowledge with us!

People say the LS was ripped off from Ford, well that's kind of misleading. But look at the Gurney Eagle 302 heads, the port layout, heck even the rocker covers are pure LS ;) I'm a Chevy guy and I don't mind saying that either

Sorry I missed the live Tim. Darin is the real deal. I could listen to him for hours. Thanks Tim and Darin. Can't wait till the next show. Good information always. The Wright Bros. piston ring is an absolute treasure. Needs to be in a case. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

Darin is definitely one of the more clever air flow guys around, great to hear him chat... and that piston ring is awesome.

Tim I've been watching Darren Morgan all week, he is a real blessing the information he gives us is priceless and I want to thank you tim for having him on dragboss, and you also are a blessing when it comes to all the information we get from your channel, thanks again my friend 😊

There's quite a bit of engines in the museum at the Hartford Ct airport, actually about 15 miles north of Hartford .

I missed the live.....watching now...happy 4th !!!

I am in the same boat, 63 and really wanting to do another engine and another Mustang. I really want to share anything I have learned. I have learned so much from Darin. From the years when he began to speak about head designs. All those years ago . I m still stubborn about the old FE because I got a lot of free parts. I love Cleveland’s! The 4Vs are the best engine ever made. I had one, and I wish I had kept it! I’d like to see the Godzilla 7.3 adapted to the 4V Cleveland heads. A set of CHI 500 ci heads.

Next time you are at the A.F Museum stop and look at the B57 I worked on at Phan Rang AB Vietnam.

Always a lot of great information! Always fun! Have a wonderful 4th🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have told people..if the Cleveland was modernized the LS is done.!!!

Great video Tim! Thx!

Live chats yup yup

Great to see and hear such high end professionals now willing to share the knowledge and expertise to others. Something that would never have happened 5+ years ago. Much appreciated to those who are willing to share 😬🙏 thank you.

Playing catch up Great video Tim and Darin!! Very interesting information, fun and entertaining as hell!!!😁😁 Thank you!!

It was the Wright ring for the job !!

Awesome stuff Tim and Darin

I hear you. I’ve got two, maybe 3 full car builds left in me. I’m 65 at the next turn of the clock. My next build is a Toyota Land Cruiser 1973

Ring very kool

Thank you guys, this is really what I love to do.

As an airplane guy 1st and a car guy 2nd that ring is bad a$$ to me.

This is my favorite show!

Impressive enough that you can get people like Darin to sit down with you. But him sharing like he does dam as women thanks as always

Sweet snippets rule! Thank you Dragboss and Darin Morgan for all the information and anecdotes. Keep 'em coming!

Tim And Darren love the Head Talk this is what I love and now I am slowing down with work I have more time to watch this stuff great work. Go Electric Not.

if you want to work on some cool machines, engines, tinker with some vintage 1965-75 SkiDoo snowmobiles. they made double and triple carb models with high compression and big cc displacements. They're being hoarded, restored, resold just like musclecars now.

Y’all talk about “passing on knowledge”. Realize what y’all really want / need to pass on is a way / method of thinking, that is being taken away…

Nice work guys! Best place to get info and ask questions.

1:30 I know that feeling. I have info and would like to pass it down. I wrote a few articles in Wikipedia to try that but I got sick of people who don't know what they are talking about editing actual info and putting in garbage. I don't see the young ones getting interested in this stuff.

doing the cubic inch per cfm calculation, is the same thing Smokey Yunick worked out back in the 1960-70's. He came up with 5.5 cfm per cubic inch, for max HP at 8000 rpm on a 350 Chevy for sustained high rpm power NASCAR. the calculation Darin did here is approximately 8 cfm per cubic inch at 8000 rpm, or 7 cfm per cubic inch at 7000 rpm. 7 x 75 cid/cylinder = 525 cfm. on a 598cid v8. when I mentioned this months ago, the answer I got from this channel was, I was talking old dated technology. that's a misconception. Smokey was using stock GM cast iron heads with great limitations, he admitted the SBC iron head would only flow 250 cfm maximum ported, where he "ground hell out of everything in sight" and was paper thin. today, you have aluminum heads and aftermarket iron heads with much more wall thickness, allowing more porting, and bigger casting patterns to begin with. so where Smokey was limited to 5.5 cfm/CID at 8000rpm with the SBC, you can simply calculate in 8 cfm/CID at 8000rpm and you have the raw castings to be able to get it. THE PRINCIPLE IS THE SAME. and he did that by back to back dyno testing, head porting until he could not pull the intake up anymore, and the max HP level was reached. having said that, Darin's method is the same, just using modern HEAD CASTINGS, he's able to shoot for a bigger number. what I glean from this is 8cfm per cubic inch at 8000 rpm as a ballpark starting point using modern castings with more potential....and much appreciation and thanks to DBG and Darin for sharing that information. it answers the question, how far has casting and port technology progressed in the past 50 years ? well it progressed from 5.5 to 8 which is a lot % wise for an NA motor. the theory DID NOT CHANGE. the head castings potential did.

Kasse could embarrass just about anyone with a Briggs and Stratton

what is the process to donate?

made no sense to me, 351M was always bashed- it's simply a tall deck, long rod Cleveland. how bad can it be ? only downside is a 1/4" larger main journal.

What about the Godzilla?

Thanks for proving what I already knew...Darun is just another fanboy. 🤣🤣🤣
