What a great guy, Nick really knows his engines, very few folks like Nick left these days, I hope Nick lives forever. Love watching his videos, I've learned a lot watching them.
What every hot rodder dreams of , ordering every piece to build a 541 inch Stroker HEMI with brand new parts . And to have NICK of NICK'S GARAGE build . HOW SWEET IT IS . WOWSER , YEEHAA
Hi Nick, I'm a retired Rceme mechanic for 26 years, I have rebuilt my share of engines, but I have never seen one brand new with all new parts, keep up the great work. Your explanation of things is very good to educate your viewers and your customers. Plus I'm a dodge guy so that helps lol..keep up the great channel.
I think it would be a great engine build series if Nick took us along for every step of the build. From the math to figure out how everything works together and why to the machining of the block and balancing of the rotating assembly. Then the complete step by step, bolt by bolt assembly and dyno testing and tuning. It could be a multi video series in its own playlist. I fresh clean all new build just like many of us have dreamed of doing for our own muscle cars.
If he doesn't take every piece of the chinese manufactured junk and return it he is crazy. Can't believe he would put his reputation on line by trusting inferior chinese junk. Rods and crank are super critical. Chinese don't care, as long as they are selling it. Would like a show just on balancing the crank and what it takes as well as checking sizing. Same with rods. How about doing an Xray and fluxing live ?
I had been away from internet access for a bit. Back now and trying to do catch-up. I like to read some of the comments on Nick's channel before diving into the video. Hit the wall when I read '2526's reply. I didn't want to believe it, but there at 5:32 "Made In China". Box looks like it has been sitting around for awhile with all the water stains. Owner probably got that crank pretty cheap. But I guess that's the way things are now. Even with American Muscle. Too bad. Well, good news; if anybody can make a runner out of junk, that'd be Nick.
@@randalltylinski9853 Eagle''s stuff is all made in Shinna. Unfortunately, a lot of stuff is made there these days. A lot of people run there units.. and I haven't heard of any major issues about their products so far. What matters most is how it's machined for the final product. I prefer Scat products. I'm not sure if even their stuff originates from Shinna. But they are a company that has a rep of quality stuff.
Hey Nick, I’m an old retired Auto Machinist and while I never bent over a fender, I had the fun of assembling many, many engines over the years. And let me tell you, I’ve never had someone bring in a complete engine in brand new parts. I would love going into work every day if I got to do that all the time! BTW, I walk with a cane now because of picking up all those cast iron blocks and heads so be smarter than me.
I can only imagine the ‘kid-at-Christmas-time’ feeling Nick must feel when opportunities like this come!!! Building a big-inch hemi from all new parts!!!! What MORE could you ask????!!!!!!! Are you guys gonna do a buildup video of any kind on this engine? I sure hope so!!! Great week, y’all!!!! 😊
This is exciting, the walls of the shop will be pounding with that on the dyno, I hope you can video the actual building of the engine and cover unique aspects of them.
Probably the first time Nick hasn't had to rebuild a destroyed engine. Definitely keeps me going and inspired to finish my wifes rusted out blown up impala that was supposed to be %95 restored. Dam thing is making me enjoy making panels and parts. You're a legend Nick.
Nothing like a new Hemi that's built by an expert like Nick. Nick Reminds me of my father. He was a master Machinist . He could build one hell of an engine. He bought nothing but Mopars.
Quoting Nick... "as you get older, the parts get heavier.." Amen to that. I'm 79 myself, and even the rods get heavier. I've got an old, 1st gen Desoto 330 hemi I'm working on, and let me tell you about the cast iron heads. I thought I'd need a crane to pick one of them up. The block is out of the question.
Mannnn, that sure is super nice to have all new parts ,block ,and heads ...Then to have Dr.Nick put it together and tune it !!!!! This will be fun to watch and dyno will be great !!!!!!!
Nick- you're so lucky to be able to work with everything brand new & clean. The old saying- it doesn't happen every day comes true. As always, love your videos.
Nick it must feel good to be able to inspect, and assemble such an absolutely new motor. The aluminum heads must make your muscles feel good too. Can't wait to see this monster come to life
Wow!!! A Hemi Monday, and not just a 426 Hemi, but a 541 Hemi stroker. A very impressive collection of parts, especially the Callies 2nd Gen block. I would have stayed with Callies for the crank and rods, so much better than Eagle. China has really messed up the American Hotrod industry. This should be a very impressive build, and I'm looking forward to seeing what numbers this engine makes on the Dyno. Work your Mopar magic Nick. My Monday is so much better with Nick's Garage. The Hemi is icing on the cake.
I watch this more than everything else i have alway been a Mopar guy. First car was a 69 Rt charger it was beat to hell AND RAN LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL 440 TRI POWER 4 SPEED 456 REAR END TOP SPEED 110 AND GOT THERE IN A HURRY ,IT WAS FAST IN 80s only two cars beat me GTX And a 429 boss. Mustang thank you show alway brings back good ol memories
Thanks Nick for including us in on the unboxing of parts of the most famous engine ever built IMO. Lots of fun seeing all these goodies and Nick you are the man.
I remember way back in my garage a Keith Black roadrunner with blown engine. When we went to pull it it bent our beam had to replace with something heavier. But when it was running it was a beast. Great watching you play with all those great toys.
Please do videos on building the engine and testing it on the Dyno! I’ve built a lot of engines, but never even seen a Hemi come into any of the shops I worked for.
Very cool. I would love to put a hemi in my Mopar but can't afford it. But I do have numbers matching 383 and that will do just fine. Like Joe Dirt says. Life is a garden. DIG IT
Nick I think many of us would appreciate it if you made a video series building this engine from start to finish. I’m sure you could provide great insight into building these engines
I used to from them running Nitro to my last one 512Hemi in my last car I will ever build my 62Belvedere cancer savior 24 years now and don't have the strength to do anymore and I miss it really bad carry on Nick love watching your show brings back memories thank you Ser !
I can not wait to watch you build that sweet Hemi. The master with new parts. The cam bearing install I have memorized from a previous show. Take care and keep going.
Looks like fun.541 HEMI Nick is in his Glory..😁 All brand new parts, piece of cake for Nick. I wouldn't want anyone else.. Although I'm glad the parts were spelled out. I couldn't understand Nick, just on the "Windage Tray", sounded like he's saying "Witness Tray, "Windish Tray." Lol. 😁😛😂
Nick, Thank you for bringing us along. And please bring us along for the build to the extent possible. Wow the cost of this engine is way above my dreams. The bare block alone is $6500 Paul (in MA)
Nick, cad welch plugs are required, it gives something soft for the electrolysis to eat. Sacraficial annode. Otherwise it eats the bores, heads, timing cover etc. Brass welch plugs are NEVER fitted OEM as they understand this. You still need corrosion inhibitor as well as antifreeze for cold climates.
Nick I think your nickname should be THE WIZ,as in Wizard for the magic you create I use to work in a Ford dealership and our shop Service manager's nickname was The Wiz he was a engineer from one of the Chrysler proving grounds in Michigan.I think you have earned the name as well.Salute.
What a fantasy Nick, to build a monster Hemi with all brand new quality parts. Let's see if everything comes together without a hitch. Looking good though! Can't wait to watch the build and dyno test!
Oh yeah, thanks for sharing this incredible build,i bet you far exceed 600hp and the torque is going to be off the charts Skittles said he can't wait to see it on the dyno,4.5 inch bore what a beast
Hi Nick, Thank you for all of your effort making enjoyable videos! I live in Northern New Jersey and I'm planning a trip to Canada. I really hope I have the opportunity to meet you! The last time I was in Canada was Quebec in 1971! I was five!
It's not from Ford or Chevy but its performance and name are legendary Every muscle car fan loves a Hemi Nick is building from brand new parts This feels like Christmas morning Every Monday is when the party starts cuz Nick and George share a video that's barn storming Don't come a knockin when Nick is unboxing With 541 cubic inches this Hemi is gonna be hard rocking It's going in a Superbee those valve covers are quality It's gonna have a roller cam Good job Nick is bilingual not just a flat tappet man It's hard work at Nick's Garage and it does not stop but it's gotta be rewarding unboxing a brand new Hemi block with 650 hp the performance might be a shock Everything Nick builds is tip top Bless your hearts Nick and George
That is a neat and sweet project, Nick. The engine block is pretty stout! All those parts were ordered by the customer? I'm going to enjoy watching that engine built and dynoed!
Thank you for sharing, Mr. Panaritis. Those valve covers are gorgeous! 😊 I would paint the block black (and, probably, the oil pan, too...Yeah, I know, I know. And I would use unpainted, stainless steel hardware everywhere it would be visible...); but, with the aluminum heads, black valve covers, and the aluminum "stuff" on the front, it would look NASA-worthy! I might even go with black, wrinkle-finish, stamped-steel valve covers. It would save a couple of pounds and look a good bit more sinister. Sorry...I'm just building my dream Hemi.
This is a great opertunity for us to see what it takes to put together a new engine. Then see it dynoed and running. I hope you get to put it in the car and drive it.
when the parts jive and work together. its another story when this part from X doesnt jive properly with part from Y. yea you can get them to jive with some massaging,tweaking. not always a cake walk
