Screaming Six Pack on Dyno - 1969 Super Bee 440 

My first new car was a 1969 Super Bee, but it only had the 383 335 Hp. Drove it for 10 years. Wish I still had it. It was always nice to see the 150 MPH speedo pegged. I live in Kansas, plenty of roads back then with no traffic on them to try it out

I have to say the person who does the filming and editing does a great job.

Nick's Garage, not only a shop...but educational and always new things to see and learn........

I love how excited the son is. The father seems overwhelmed but the son looks so happy for him. Awesome to see the passion passed down another generation. Good luck with that sweet 440!

I imagine that my reaction will be the same when i get my stroked out 360 to 410 cu inches fired up with my dad. He had it rebuilt and then work done to it almost 20 yesrs ago and i don't remember what it sounded like. Engines, Fathers and Son's are what this world needs more of

There's nothing like the sound of a 440 to get you going in the morning.

MoPars in our family from as far back as my own grandpa who worked at the Chrysler garage in Mandan, N.D., and I still love them, along with Ford!!!!! They were ahead of their time with the old "slush pump"(aka fluid drive) manual/automatic trans... Awesome stuff those MoPars!!!

The man loves what he does for living

In Australia, we had a different 6 pack. 265 HEMI 6 cylinder with triple Weber’s, it made a unique induction noise. It was fitted in some Valiant R/T Charger models.

Awesome video Father and Son seeing their engine run for the first time after 30 years in storage. Also with your knowledge of tuning a six-pack which is no joke especially with the Progressive linkage engine ran awesome you're the man Nick two thumbs up

The stock 440+6 was/is a really great factory combination for any chrysler division auto. With some minor changes, capable of really decent HP increases with headers, port work in the heads, better octane fuel & advancing the distributor with high octane fuel. My six pack cars were incredible back in the 70s. It never took much money to make 75 HP over stock . Love watching these videos !!!!

I'm a sucker for the Super Bee's since I was a kid I have been in love with the 1970 Super bee

No sugar coating here, you tell it like it is. Always a pleasure...

Sweet video Mr Nick thanks for sharing your projects with me.

Well just like desert, I’m saving this till I’m finished work.

Dr, Nick,that is one sweet 440-6 pack,I am going to say that you will get 17 more horse power,on the next dyno pull,can not wait.

Cool episode! Thanks Nick ;)

This year I imported to Australia, a 70 Charger with a 1969 440 6 pack engine 727 auto. Love these engines. This was an especially good episode for me to watch.

I really like six packs ! Awesome engine to watch it running on a dyno !

Just love the sound of big-block Mopar. From a Chevy guy. :-)

Great example of the younger generation learning their turn in the car conversation. Jay Leno is working on this same challenge on his show when he invites younger technically minded guests and when he helps them understand the ways of car guys. Super job by everyone involved. This is what it is all about. One day he will be doing the same for up-and-comers!

If My classic muscle car motor is going to have a problem can't think of a better place to have a problem than in Nick's garage

Nick, always great to watch you, You bring joy, make music V8 style,and share your passion of your work. Thank you.

Nick's Garage does it again! Fantastic video.

Thank You for Sharing your knoledge is priceless Nick

NICK!!{THESE OPENING SECONDS >> "OUT OF BODY" EXPERIENCE!!)1350 cfm FLOPPIN OPEN'-ROARIN'-RAGIN' MAD! you live a blessed life my friend~ THANK YOU for SHARING IT WITH US

This was fun. Can't wait for the little changes to see what happens.

Three two barrels, The sweetest sounding set up on gods green earth. A car with a set up like this coming at you with a tight exhaust system and the sound of those carbs drafting is a sound like no other!

What a great way to start the day, breakfast with the crew 😉😀😃!

This is Benny with you your friend from Detroit I loved the six pack vidio wow how cool your work is the best love it bro keep up the great work nick your the best your friend benny from Detroit

440 6 pack on dyno: My best quess for horsepower increase by removal of heat riser manifold and exhaust manifold porting; 1. Heat Riser Manifold removal @ 5600 rpm..conservative 4-8 horsepower gain. 2. Porting Exhaust Manifold ( depending on how much porting removal is required) 5-10 horsepower gain. Best estimation; 9-18 horsepower gain. Headers would also increase your horsepower. I look forward to seeing the test. Thanks to owner of 440 6 pack and of course Nick and the rest of Nicks Garage. Cheers from Edmonton Alberta Canada.

Bon matin, Thanks for the treat this morning, a 6 pack, I was always impress when à was a kid to see a mechanic adjust the 3 carbs.

OUTSTANDING camera work

It's good to watch a master at his craft. Thanks Nick.

the exhaust heater runners in the intake were notorious for getting carbon packed and failing

I'm not well off, broke my back in 2003 and life has not been the same ever since. It's the shits because my life was quite exciting and fulfilling like yours, building up old cars and trucks, fine tuning and doing it mostly by myself to keep costs down for my customers. I'd spend 100s of hours in my little shop to get the very most out of an engine while keeping in mind that they're daily drivers. Anyways, when the engine owner was asking you about the exhaust manifolds, and if more power could be gained by port work, it made me smile and brought back fond memories of better times and it really piqued my interest because I do know a fair bit about intake and exhaust ports and gasket matching the head's exhaust ports to the exhaust manifold ports and cleaning up the excess casting flash that the factory wouldn't do will give you more horsepower. It wasn't rocket science, I'd just use the one piece Mr Gasket exhaust manifold gasket, scribe both the heads and the exhaust manifolds, clean them all up with a few different die grinders and each time it made a positive difference. Thank you for posting your videos, I watch them a lot and I'll keep watching them, you guys are great!

Love the 6 packs, but wish he would go to electronic ignition distributor and headers, as that was so common in those vehicles that it was rarer to see someone who didn't. Know that I helped bolt them on(headers) of a 440 GTX and a Road Runner too. The GTX went smooth as they fit right in, but the Road Runner was a pain, as they were a cheaper set and didn't fit well without some custom bending and tweaking. Man some good times were had in those vehicles.

Really enjoy the dyno sessions.

Awesome intro to this weeks presentation...Best on the web! Thank you!

6bbl holley and cafe, best monday breakfast here in Calgary. Thanks Nick. 430 hp after heatriser out. we will know soon

Dodge was 6 Pack and Plymouth was 6 Barrel it was called the A12 option that came out Mid 1969 that used 3 holly 2 bbl 2300 carbs on a aluminum Edelbrock Intake the main center carb was a 350cfm carb and the two ends were both 500cfm. Edelbrock intakes were only used for 69 only in 70 Chrysler made their own 6 pack intake out of cast Iron.

Nick's back with a six pack but first the host with the most needs some French toast. This 440 has a naughty rumble If I was the owner I wouldn't grumble At the Dyno controls Nick don't falter or fumble Checking for leaks rattles n squeaks Then back to the console to see where power peaks Nick and the crew know all the best tweaks Nick's Garage can't wait for next weeks!

Monday morning, V8 screaming on dyno, all is right with the world. 🙂

Uncle nic my dad is watching ur videos right now im tellin ya all day every day he loves the hemis hes a engine builder to well was

You know it’s from a ‘69 A12 car when you see “Edelbrock” cast into the intake manifold.

A couple more now. Yes the rings

Awesome 440 six pack thanks for the video

Awesome story about the engine and owner, well Nick is the man to make it run perfect or better than factory. Great show.

Great story in this video!!! Thanks Nick!

You're a wizard Nick , Please keep passing on the knowledge Thank-you💪👍👌✌Much love from the "D"

At 6:22 one bite of a free range dyno room bug sent the offspring as far away as possible without leaving the scene. An excellent display of how caution preceeds self preservation. His body is just learning how to lean the epinephrine injectors down to 14.7 to 1. And the real fun hasn't started yet.

I have an a12 car and the sound of the six pack in action is fantastic

I love them all from this era , but nothing beats the look of a bone stock 440 six pack with the big air cleaner.

The production quality on this is tv like well done

love the old school tunning on the old school motors you and your brother are the bomb

That's a nice engine. I love the sound of the idle & full revs also. :)

A lot of Dodge trucks and Dodge station wagons had the heat risers stick shut. Most of them were in the small blocks. The customer would come in saying they had performance problems, with a load on, going up a large hill or mountain. Using a glove you would check to see if the round weight would move. The tension spring would be long gone or the tension was gone from the spring. We would drop the y pipe and would cut the rounds off of it and leave the part that went through the exhaust manifold so it didn't leak exhaust.

I'm beginning to suspect that Nick's the guy I should've taken my Cordoba to all those years ago, after I bought & resurrected her. That would've been an epic roadtrip.

The sweet sounds of music to my ears

Super car stuff...Asusual...Thanks muchey...!

I love Nicks videos he explains everything in great detail love it

Thanks for sharing Nick.

nicks thanks for explaining how that heat door opens on the exhaught, i alwalys wondered!!!!!!

That engine is beautiful!

I love seeing a six pack in action.

Yeah noticed that stumble (misfire) up top you could see it shake a bit. Nick mentioned possible crack re the water from ex manifold, hope the stumble its not water related, as in the crack across exhaust and inlet ports on one pot opening a bit more at peak revs sending a splash of water through the pot causing it to stumble a bit. i say that because IME stumbles like that are more often at the lower end under WOT than up top. A look at the plugs might be in order to see if one has some irregularity due to water. Fingers crossed its not that.

When you go through the front of the building it looks like a small shop, then when you get in it explodes into this huge place. Pretty cool.

Another great pull on the dyno with a badass wedge 6pk!!! Great video and best wishes!!! BeepBeep

I say the heat riser mods and exhaust manifold mods give this engine 12 more horsepower. Nick and his crew build beautiful engines. I really enjoy watching these old power plants roar back to life! Salute to Nick and his crew!

Awesome episode!!! The 440 6-pack produces!!!

Another great video! Thanks Nick!!

The 440 Six Pack is one of my favorite engines. Measured at Holley's two barrel vacuum specs the carbs are rated at, 350 cfm for the center carb and the two outboard carbs are rated at 500 cfm each, which would a total of 1350 cfm, but measured at Holley's four barrel vacuum specs, to compare the carbs to one four barrel carb, the total for the three carbs together is around 950 cfm, which is still a lot for the engine.

Another great video. Even the French toast looked delicious. The camera work in the beginning was awesome. Glad I subscribed

O good he back I was get mopar sick dont go away for to long lol

we used to remove that exhaust flap and auto choke and go with the manual choke it lets the intake stay as cool as possible

I love your videos look forward to them

Nasty 440-6bbl pumps out 425hp - 450Tq.....But Bucko 455[11/11/19] does 500+hp - 550Tq . That's what made Bucko's the bane of other Muscle Car street racers. NHRA not fooled tho. Bucko's waz moved to higher Stock/SuperStock classes. These days , Sure is fun reliving it all with Nick's Dyno runs

Coffee and six pack for my breakfast! Thanks Nick for another awesome video! Mopar o no car!!

15hp and with the other work Nick is going to do,440 total hp easily...and a a lower rpm....have a great week Nick and crew

Badass nick mopar or no car. Wish I had the money to have nick build me a engine. This thing runs way better then the junk they put in cars nowadays

Yep this was enjoyable. Would love to see a set of headers on this one . If it's being jamed in it's got to get out. Sounds like a reasonable cam as well. This was fun to watch. 👍

That cam sounds a little bit hotter than stock. Hehehe. Nice though. Hemi power from the more street friendly 440.

I haven't had the pleasure of driving more than a handful of big-block Mopars over the last 35 years, but the ones with the 4-barrels seemed noticeably more "streetable" than the six-packers, at least to me.

Yeah more Dyno time more please !

AWESOME!!!!

Great video

Would be a good test with headers compared to manifolds and ported manifolds... As always awesome production

Beautiful engine build. little or no change in hp is my guess. would give up my coffe on monday morning to watch nick's garage.luckily i dont have to thanks nick and build a buick 455 sometime thats one engine i would love to watch you test/tune

A great video! Seems like a lot of posts on this one are advocating defeating the warm up provisions that Mother Mopar designed in . They had a reason . An owner might be quite disenchanted ,especiallly in a cold climate if the heat crossover and the flapper in the exhaust manifold were removed. You lose the choke function for one. It all depends on what the engine is going to be used for .Weekend dragstrip duty or daily to-work and grocery getting.

Mornin nick..another great episode.. .have great day!

Great breakfast... thanks for inviting me. PS: Video guy... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

20:16 - "So we're breaking in the rings, eh?" (chuckles) right on! Vacuum secondaries... always wondered about that. I imagine it would be a lot more fuel economical than running dual fours.

Another great video sir. 👍 That door is great but if it robs hp it has to go 🤟

Just choice aye, what else can one say! Nick I'm sure you will get it sorted by next viewing and what will be will be! Thanks for another awesome video guys.

Great vid 👌🏾

Nick I've have seen heat risers over time freeze up in the closed position.

Heat riser on my 86 GMC closed up on mine and made the 350 in it overheat. Apparently the thermostatic vacuum valve on the thermostat housing neck is bad and constantly sending vacuum to where it shouldn't be. Pulled the vacuum line and it opened up and she cooled down and my dad had the muffler shop weld it open when he had exhaust put on my truck year's ago.

Perhaps the gain will be there, but after porting the manifold with headers... Maybe 20 horse with long tubes, 15 or so with existing manifolds. Interesting.

Another great video!

VIDEO DUDE!: Awesome opening as usual, sir. Your work never disappoints. :-) Ok Nick, predictions eh? Here's mine: 1. The leak is indeed an exhaust stud - first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was that and I'll stick with that guess. 2. Port matching the exhaust manifolds won't be worth much, but combined with removing the heat riser, together that will gain 12hp total overall. Over to Patreon I go. See ya there! -Ed on the Ridge
