I love this video because it is simple to understand and helps a ton for beginners who don't know the basic requirements for starting an engine on an engine stand. I just rebuilt my first 350 and am about to do this very same thing.

Hello from Romania 🇷🇴 Long story short if you can have some direct info and recomandations would be great. I have a 1993 5.7 LT1 Camaro 💪🤠 And i have another 3.8 camaro from 1997. And i whant to swap that LT1 in the 3.8 because that one has a better body and has proper papers to be driven. But i also whant to carb swap it, why ? Because of the Optispark! Its a verry simple budget build and i have some questions. What does that engine needs to run from EFI to carburator?! After some internest searching i know they have that GMP Chevrolet Perfomance intake that bolts right up on the LT1 for a carb swap. I need a carb obviously, like a 650 CFM, a hei distribuitor, wires and plugs, starter, alternator, water pump, radiator, and what or how many ground wires ? I have i think 700r transmission, it has that tv cable ans 16 bolt patern for the oil pan, at least thats what people say on the internet. I know i need a manual valve body for it to change the gears. Is the 3.8 K mbemer the same for these cars ? From 3.8 v6 to 5.7 v8 ? ( Personal i think they are ) And what can i use for gauges ? Simple stuff nothing Corvette fancy 😅. Well if you have some time to give me some advice in this build i would apreciate it ! GOD BLESS FROM ROMANIA 🇷🇴✝️🇺🇸

Nice job can you show what you did for power what parts

Great explanation

Zz4 camshaft sounds good.

Great job. The engine looks and sounds great. But I don't trust that engine stand. The vibration of that engine might cause the engine-to-transmission bolts to break, or that whole assembly might tip over, and then you're REALLY going to be in a very rough spot. Be careful.

Sounds good

Pretty cool

I think it just melted down. No cooling 😅

Same as James! Thanks for doing this, straight to the point. How long can you run it like that with no coolant though?

Nice set up man were did you get the pulley set up and headers I wanna do something similar to my 350

Keeping it real your video helped me out but I couldn’t take you serious after seeing that haircut is that so they get a better grip haha thanks allot for your time

Awsum bro

👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 sounds sweet man

So is there water pumping into the water pump of that thing cuz of the thermostat on the top and the manifold has no hose so it's burning up nice

awesome. thanks man. do you have to run a ground from the pump and tie it in anywhere

Whats the part number and type of fuel pump is that? Is that the fp that is going in the truck or just 1 you got to run on the stand? I just got a donor truck that has a bbc in it I'm planning on putting in my 66' C20 and want to run it on a stand like this before I stab it in my 66'. Thanks for the video.

Hey quick question. What ga wire from distributor to battery did you use?

I'm to scared too run one on a regular stand. I'm going to build one from a rusty truck frame.

Read the description for a little info from the video..

I have been looking for a video like this. Maybe you can help me! My son and I are rebuilding a 1983 GMC k1500. He had the motor machined and we rebuilt it to a 383 stroker. we have added Holley EFI complete system and Mid mount accessory drive. Is the mid mount accessory drive what you have on this engine? We are rookies and are learning as we go but we are scared to death to mess up his engine when we start it for the 1st time. We have the engineer and transmission already married up and mounted to the restored frame. No body at all so everything is accessible. What did you do regarding water pump, AC compressor and power steering pump? in regards to fluids and such. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

Hey man is the radiator cooler connected and pumping?

What about those engines which uses ecu or computer box to control injectors n spark how do u connect them

Where can I find that front pulley setup

On the starter panel the wire comes in at the toggle switch it moves to number 3 on the starte button a it goes out from number 4 to the solenoid. Then I have a power wire going directly to the big starter bolt. It should start and im confused why it doesn't. Not unless on of the wires on the start button isn't attached good enough.

I have a sbc and am confused where the ground is on the starter. I have the main power two smaller bolts across from each other another smaller bolt below that and one long bolt that attaches from the silinoid to the starter.There isn't another big bolt like you have for the ground.

Does the purple 10 gauge wire go to the starter solenoid (S) terminal?

What the fuck homie ! I was looking up a video trying to learn something new and I just notice who you are ! I was your neighbor homie I’m Che I had a grey Cadillac and the red cutlass

Where can I get that serpentine setup or pully setup

For how long can you run it like that without getting hot without radiator

Where do you hook up the yellow wire from dizzy

Will this work if transmission is still hooked up

You have a stuck pully on the Top left

What kind of distributor is that ?

Hey how you put the starter without housing?🤔

Bro I have a question I have a 350 with HEL distributor how can I connect directly to the battery

Air cooled 5.7?😂

did I miss the radiator here?

Orale carnal

Water would be good a good idea

Let's see we got the positive the ground the fire wire da the only thing missing is the car !😨

Where can you get that haircut XDDDD????!!!!!?!?!?

you think you would have the common decency to attach mufflers on it , but looking at you I doubt it !

Rev it up louder wonder why it's smoking and burn the vows with no coolant come on get those heads hot

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️❤️❤️🌏🌏🦌🐓🍓🤪 I've never seen an air cooled SBC, or any other motor.

Bad idea doing it like that. Those are assembly stands, not meant to be ran on….

The haircut... LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turn it off before it burns

Wow.. I cant believe you ran that motor that long without water. Horrible Idea.
