Quest for 800 HP - Supercharged Big Block SCREAMS on the Dyno 

Giassou Tom.

...a 440 with no float, smooth, at 6500rpm is fantastic....nice motor, nice price too

If its not a hemi slopars suck ,power is in the heads a 440 with tri power made 390 HP you could get a 396 Chevy with one 4 BBL that made 425 HP ,power is in the heads if its not a hemi head stock mopar heads don't flow good numbers ,show me another V8 400 cubic inches or less with one 4 BBLcarb that made 425 plus HP you can't lol

@@darrellsomers5427 396 didnt make the big low end tq of the 440. Whats your point?

Nick is not in the Dark or Oblivious to what took place...He is an Ace,,,,, 😎

@@jeanlawson9133 no one said he was in the dark, …Nick himself said fuel injectors and laptop tuning wasn’t his thing.

Nick seems so happy to let these Maniacs play. The motor sounds fine. The Torque is Freaking Insane. I have to wonder if the car will be any fun to drive or be any fun.

...great team fine tuning that engine...he needs a bigger car...

Easiest YT video he'll ever have to do.

Makes you say "what the hell is with all these guys and that LS-xyz crap?!"

@@cjm5002 True but to build this engine compared to a LS is going to cost way more than any LS build because of how much R&D has already been put into the LS builds plus they are already from the factory a cross bolted 4 bolt main block either with the cast iron block or the all alloy blocks so with any of the Chrysler B or RB blocks your looking at custom machining to have that block cross bolted to a 4 bolt main which isn't cheap . Then you have to figure in how much time and money were spent on that custom built supercharger or any other custom made parts inside that they seemed pretty quiet about which I don't blame them because maybe this is something that they might end up building as a kit form to sell eventually but will probably if they were smart have patents made for the parts or kit so you don't have people stealing your designs and ideas . I am a old school Mopar guy but like anything old from the big 3 but I've been waiting for someone to build something like this blend of old tech and new just to see how well they stand up compared to the LS and coyote engines just because I always figured that these older engines with better internals and heads with new technology inside and new technology with the superchargers could stay with these new engines . The thing with any Chrysler engine or the cars are they aren't cheap to build compared to the Chevrolet or Ford's most times and that especially now is why most go the other direction because of the money factor and how easy parts are to find and get compared to the Chrysler stuff .

@@peteloomis8456 you know, I like the way you explained why so many go towards GM, it’s NOT just a simple matter of GM being SUPERIOR (not to say they’re junk or anything like that) but economically CHEAPER to build BECAUSE OF all the legwork done beforehand. I’m a diehard mopar guy myself, but I can appreciate cost.

@@peteloomis8456 Just preaching to the choir brother, I've been saying that for decades. If I recall correctly part of Chryslers deal with ford back in the 70s was to destroy all the foundry molds for all big blocks so that never again could mopar put out these beastly engines.

@@joeljenkins2876 Yep all you have to do is look way back just after the flat head Ford was being phased out and the small block Chevrolet came out and if you looked in those early hot rod magazines everything that was made to be better or make more power and speed was tested on the small block Chevrolet first then upgraded as testing and time went on . I have some old hot rod magazines from the early to mid 60s I still like to page through but back in the day you could go out and buy a brand new 2x4 tunnel ram intake with linkage and carbs if I remember for 99.00 lol . Granted most people were only making maybe 3.00 a hour back then and 99.00 seems cheap to us today but that still was a lot of money back then to the average person who had a wife kid and a house to pay for but like you and I mentioned the leg work that GM does when designing performance stuff for engines back then still applies now in this day and age along with Ford as well and Mopar to an extent but not nearly as much being they aren't in Nascar anymore or used that much on the dirt ovals or road racing much but are more in some classes of drag racing for example the Drag pack supercharged Hemi challengers that are out that aren't doing all that bad being NHRA is making them run more weight or the cars have to be heavier than the GM and Ford for some reason from what Drag pack Dennis was saying who broke multiple records almost 2 seasons ago now with his drag pack Challenger . He's saying that the engine in his drag pack is 1,500 ish HP I would assume to the rear wheels on a small 10 inch slick that NHRA mandates for that class so it takes a lot of tuning and chassis tuning to get those cars to hook hard without spinning or loosing traction once under way down the strip further to run those mid to low 7s at 190+ mph in the now 1000 ft NHRA sanctioned tracks which used to be the 1/4 mile or 1,320 but NHRA shortened the tracks because the nitro class and pro stock cars keep going quicker and faster every couple years it seems so they shortened the tracks for safety reasons to try and slow them down which doesn't seem to working lol .

Notice engine photo on they shirts 👕

That is the types that bust your ass at the Dragstrip! 💪👀

Man this engine just blows my mind. What a beautiful build, this is Epic. Now these guys will have to build a ladder frame, with a full locker rear end otherwise it will just careen off the side of the highway. This is 100% Pro street.

Did Nick have to show them how you check a down cylinder

Awesome, thank you!

Its amazing what can be done with a true HiPo computer expert punching the laptop keys. And the guys from Ontario, they were all set up and ready to go, had everything they needed. I'm sure Nick was happy to see that. Well organized to the "N"th degree.

Did you catch Nick quickly correct them that the missfire was on 7 not 8.

It really is! Mike will have some fun with this set up.

Appreciate the kind words !

Any man is this world that thinks he can do it on his own is a fool, so great to see the tribute to Barry Paton.

old stuff is the ONLY STUFF!! doesn't need transistors

@@racerd9669 Lo pop pop l opt tie till I’ml

Did Barry die from the trump shot?

@@michaelatkin9649 The Fauci two step.

Thanks Gene.

Right on!

We’re glad you found us!

You can get a lot more out of a 440 than that.this engine is a great example.

Very cool.

exactly! electronic engine management like a modern day tuner drag car. the wheel slip sensor setup he'd mentioned, oh heck yeah it'll rock.

This unit was adapted from a Ford application.

Right on. He knows his stuff, alright.

Glad you enjoyed it!

😅🤣😂🙂😁🤣

That motor in a sleeper 63 Chrysler 300n

I think a better term for Nick is "Gracious host"

Oh he will, it's coming together quite well as of late.

Top end - Unlimited - Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry movie that quote should be on this motor can only imagine

Imagine being pinned in the seat of that Duster damn

@@dennisgrubbs1929 love that movie and I agree 100%

Right on!

A 671 is TOO small for a "big hemi".

@@davelowets What size would you go to ?

@@OlSgtLove Start with an 871 minimum

Thank you for your very kind comment, Joel. We are touched that our videos can be comfort and distraction in difficult days. Everyone here at the shop wishes you a quick recovery from the surgery and easier times ahead.

I hope you get better🙏!! Nick’s guys always teke me out of problems.

@@NicksGarage LOVED the video! My uncle had a similar thing happen to his leg recently...& this video Definitley helped take my mind off his problems (we're close)--My father (now deceased) once was an engineer for FORD & would have loved this video too!!--Keep up the good-work!

May 2023 be a better year for you and may God be with you.

God bless you as well! It’s nice to have content like this to take the mind off things. Take it one day at a time.

Appreciate it !

Thanks Red!

thats kind of the beauty of power adders...build a mild but stout motor and add boost to get power.

Thanks Bandit! Who loves ya, baby!

Nick like you said to me on your show (( YOUR MOMMA )) LOL.. Thanks for your reply back Nick your time is very SPECIAL to me to have a great guy like U and a great show with your friends... See you on FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE NICK ... Your the BEST 🤙////// FROM YOUR FRIEND THE BANDIT....

It was! The guys did great.

Fuel injection...

NO. This would be gross H.P. "Net" would be IN the car, after all accessories and front drive attached.

@@davelowets > excuse me, but all the accessories were on the motor, and even Nick called it Net HP.- Only it didn't go thru the trans and rear end, but doesn't the Dyno equal that load?

I appreciate that!

We are very sorry for your loss. We hope you always have that car.

@@NicksGarage TY. Yeah never getting rid of it. To many memories. We painted it Yellow with a Black RT stipe on it. Steel need to do the dash. It just has a skin on it for now. Need to replace all the gauges. None of them work. The interior is done other than the dash. Work in progress. Takes time.

@@NicksGarage Thank you sir. I just want to make it right by him.

@@bigboreracing356 Still can happen....

The girdle spreads the load over all the main-webs (*bulkheads) and the caps for specifically that reason.

@@Motor-City-Mike A girdle doesn't help cap walk all that much. 4-Bolt mains do, like the engine in this video has. Being a drag racer that uses Oldsmobile power, I'm REAL familiar with, and have used girdles in the past, and they just basically help to contain the explosion when it still happens, UNLESS it's a very nice piece that goes over all 5 main caps, and then bolts to the entire pan rail also. Thise thin halo girdles that just bolt to the main caps really doesn't do a whole heck of alot.

Thank you.

He did. LOL.

We were glad to welcome them.
