@@hendo337 I have a collection of Turbos too. Ain't decided which units are going on what. Also building a twin turbo bigblock. I have GT35s and GT45s also. And T70s. Nothing carved in stone yet, gotta get the vehicle capable of 1000+hp first. Ain't gonna be a street car either, going small tire no Prep drag racing. Might use a big single, I'll figure it all out when I start bolting it together. I'm sure there will be a lot of experimentation till I'm satisfied. Been collecting all this turbo shit for years now. Got into the Buick GNs back in the 90s with the turbo V6s, but now I want to build a bigblock version and a SBC. I have a 96 Ranger with a turbo 2.3 in it, single GT35. Probably gonna put the shit in a 95 Blazer sitting in my backyard. And the 3rd gen Camaro gonna get one of them. Might just go with a single S480 on a bigblock in the Camaro. I'll figure it out as I go. Something to do. I'm looking for a deal on a used aftermarket SBC block, a Rodeck would be nice. Settle for a DART tho. Even those Speedmaster blocks are pretty solid. Seen a few over 1500+hp without failure. But then again, the Grubworm Camaro had a production LT1 block around 2000hp. I have one of those and it don't appear any thicker than many of my other blocks. I think dude was going thru them pretty often tho. But damn, I never would have thought they could handle that much power. Of course much work done to them, but the block is still GM iron. I'm aiming for 1000-1200hp with the SBC, 1500+with the bigblock. These will be drag race only vehicles. Going to run alcohol on both.

@@hendo337 Of course built T-400 transmissions will be the go to units for these. I'm aware of what it takes to run that much power in a vehicle. I study this shit daily for decades. That's why the turbo engine isn't in a vehicle yet, because I got to make the car hold up. I'm getting it tho, slowly but surely. Shits expensive these days. Remember, I'm old, not a young guy just starting my first project. Most of my videos I'm tired as hell plus stoned as shit and just thinking out loud. Figuring out what I want to do. Have too many projects tho. Currently building 20 engines. Have 40+more to do after those are done. This is my retirement after working in the automotive industry for nearly 40yrs. Beats sitting around waiting to die playing with phones I guess. I'm sure I'll die long before I finish all my projects tho. I'm a realist. Also have medical problems I try to ignore.

@@hendo337 Id like to build a 86 GN clone using a turbocharged 455 Buick, that would be cool. That Buick shit has gotten crazy expensive these days tho.

@@hendo337 A turbocharged 425/455 Oldsmobile in my 79 Cutlass would be different. 350 DX block based Olds would be a better choice tho. It'll probably be the car that ends up with the boosted bigblock Chevy unless I buy another body to use. I want something pre 1950 to build. Would love a 37 Ford or old 41 Willys. But those are way out of my budget. 48/49 Chevys can still be bought reasonable tho.

@@larrynorsworthy8582 Yep, when im building a lower rpm torque type engine for trucks and mild applications. I'm gathering parts now to build a sleeper engine with a big cast iron oval track bowtie dualplane intake, Q-jet and ported 041 heads, & a pretty big roller cam. Gonna make it look pretty much stock, but make alot of power. But most engines I build are drag race, Street/Strip or oval track type applications. I have a old C454 dualplane intake made for a Dominator on a rectangle port bigblock Chevy tucked away too. Gonna use it one day on a torque monster bigblock for a old 1970s rollback or something. Want to build a cool race car hauler with a square body rollback.

@@larrynorsworthy8582 Building a torque engine for my wife's 92 Suburban, 355ci using a Edelbrock RPM intake & 3310 750 Holley on it with DART 180cc Iron Eagle heads, mild 220@.050 hydraulic roller cam, 9.5-1 compression. It's being built for daily use in a big ass 4x4 truck.

@@jimmy_olds Even them old 366s had potential. Me and a buddy took one years ago and swapped a L-88 cam in it, intake spacers and a early TM-1 singleplane, 215 closed chamber heads, 850 Holley DP, nice Hooker headers. It ran 7.40s in a 3rd gen Camaro in the 8th. It was a experiment until the real bigblock got finished. Ran damn good. It was a practically new 366 Goodwrench engine. Surprised the hell out of me. Fit good too and regular Hooker headers bolted right on.

@@jimmy_olds When I was a youngster, I used to dig hearing them bigblock grain trucks & dump trucks come screaming by the house, sounded like Hotrods for sure. Made me want an engine out of one. I'm sure all of them had the exhaust modified back in them days. They seemed awful loud. That was back in the 70s.

@@jimmy_olds This 427 is gonna make well over 700+hp NA and 550+tq. Gonna rev it 8000rpm too. Should run mid 9s in the 1/4 in a gutted G-body. It's getting a pretty rowdy build with over 13-1 compression and 274/282@.050 solid roller. 380+cfm BPE heads. Bowtie singleplane intake & 1150 BG Dominator. All forged rotating assembly with 6.535 long H-beam rods. 4.310x3.760 bore & stroke.

@@keithharris9685 Your engine came stock with a hydraulic roller, so it'll be easy to set it up. Running the stock TPI and ECM will limit you, but if ya carb swapped it with a Victor Jr intake & a 750 Doublepumper, a cam with around 250+@.050 duration, .550 to .600 lift range and around a 106 to 108 lobe separation. With the stock shit, you'll be limited to around 220@.050, .525 lift and 114 lobe separation. Use good Beehive springs and screw in studs. Roller rockers will help get it all set up too. Make sure you have the proper length pushrods and most Beehive springs need a 1.800 installed height. Going with the big cam, carbed combo, 450+hp comes pretty easy, going with the TPI setup and mild cam, be lucky to get 350hp at the flexplate. Your stock heads flow will limit you to 450hp or less. Of course you should go with long tube headers. Hedman makes a good pair for reasonable price, but they won't fit a manual trans car. I have Doug's Headers on mine. 1.75 primary, 3.00 collector. My car has a manual trans too. 450 real hp in a 3rd gen hauls ass pretty good.

@@keithharris9685 My 84 Z-28 has around 575hp currently. Weighs about 2600lbs. 4-88 geared QP 9in Ford with 40 spline axles & spool, TKO 500 5spd, Centerforce solid disc clutch, all the UMI torque arm, crossmember and suspension, 90/10 struts etc. It'll run mid 6s in the 8th. Building a 800+hp NA 496ci bigblock for it now. Trying to work a deal on a Doug Nash 5 spd dude has. Keep it manual. Would like to run deep in the mid 5s with it NA. 1/8th mile. Eventually it's getting a twin turbo unit bolted in it.

@@keithharris9685 For top end speed keep your gear at 3-42 or less. 4-88s won't make ya fast, but they make ya quick. Get ya some good handling coil springs and fat sway bars too. Lower the car a inch or 2 Also. Cut thru the wind easier. Aerodynamics makes a big difference at 100+mph. Bunch of tricks you can do to make it faster. I usually focus on drag racing myself tho.

@@keithharris9685 Also into bigblock Chevys, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs and Buicks too. Plus old ass hotrod Harleys.

@@johnzuggster375 Thanks for watching man. Good luck with your project.

@@travisquintero8334 Thanks man.

@@travisquintero8334 Aesthetics are important to me, wiring definitely gotta be routed properly. Just looks better and reduces the chance of burning up them overpriced Moroso plug wires. Never did like the look of an engine with wires running everywhere like a fuckin rats nest. Cleaner the better, plus I like to hide many wires & relays out of sight. Clean is mean. All I want to see is fuel lines. And they gotta lay right too. I was an artist most of my life, so I kinda see these engines as art forms. I like it when normies who know nothing of engines can't take there eyes off of it. Don't know what they are looking at, but they know it's pleasing to the eye. Engine blocks are blank canvases waiting to be turned into something pleasing. Plus the adrenalin rush they provide is better that any drug.

@@craighills2382 Thanks man, I appreciate you watching. And I can definitely relate. I'm old enough to seen many changes. Shit gets worse every year. I'm just glad I held on to all this shit over the years, I could never do it now from ground zero. Price of this shit has gotten way to high. I miss the 70s & early 80s. Life was much simpler back then. And building a good drag car didn't take your life savings to accomplish. I still do it, just takes longer these days, between age and money, shit is harder.

@@lanesmith148 Mostly T-400s for serious applications, and various manual trans, Muncies, B/W T-10s, Super T-10, and a TKO 500 5spd in my Camaro. Trying to work a deal on a Doug Nash 5spd now. More than half my cars are manual trans. I have a fleet of vehicles stashed away.

@@lanesmith148 I do have a few T-350 trannys also, but I've destroyed a pile of them over the years, so I only use them on sub 500hp rides. Favorite auto trans is the RV T475/T400 with straight cut gears and extra clutches & shit, 8 bolt pump and a better sprag & drum. They are tough. Looking for a good used Jericho trans if the price is right. Rearends I prefer to use are GM 8.5 10-bolts, 12-bolts, 9in Ford's, Pontiac/Olds 9.3s, and DANA 60s. Depends on the application and power level.

@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 Thanks man

@@hackertheslacker Yep, they definitely get the job done. I have a pretty nice run stand with a cooling system and a fuel cell on it, but it's at my other garage with an engine sitting on it and a lot of shit to move to get it out. But it started as one of these engine dollys bolted to a steel cart from a coal mine warehouse. Dolly is bolted to 4 bigblock Chevy main caps bolted to the cart. I need to go get it, but it takes up a lot more space. Running them on these dollys is cheap and easy and don't need much room to do it. Can't beat em. Although I liked them better when they costed $25.00 bucks..... And they seemed better made. These castors are pretty suspect on these new ones, especially with a complete iron bigblock on it. Imports.....😶

@@hackertheslacker Definitely better to find a problem on a dolly than when after its installed in the car. That's no shit.

@@thereluctantgearhead4544 100%

@@thereluctantgearhead4544 I have 3 engines at the moment. No run stand and just the other day I looked at the Dolly and said to myself. YUP that's my start-up stand. 355 is ready to fire. It's on the Dolly. I'll need to buy 2 more for the 454 bbc & 400 sbc. It makes it really easy to store these things and their inexpensive to purchase.

@@hackertheslacker Yep, money well spent. Speedway has about the best deal on them right now I believe. Jegs pretty close tho.

@@keithharris9685 Fuck LS....

@@WD-sr8qz I have both and they are pretty much the same head. The Promaxx flows around 10cfm better tho. It's bowl ported, and the Brodix heads CNC port match needs to be blended. Can't go wrong with either tho. Real nice heads. Easy 550+hp potential with right build right out of the box. Price right too.

@@WD-sr8qz I just notice you said Project X head. Those are even better and for the money, can't be beat. Especially the Project X 215s. 600+hp potential straight out of the box. Check out Eric Weingardners video about them. Killer head for sure. All the Promaxx heads seem to be real good quality.

@@derwinrandle2682 Sorry if your offended, but I'm really an angry dude and it helps me release pressure. Don't believe in censorship either, I might not like what someone else says, for example religious jargon, I'm actually an atheist ethnic Jew, but I don't concern myself with such matters. So people can say or believe whatever they want as long as it doesn't physically harm me, then I go into full defense mode. Live and let live is my motto. And don't let "bad" words be your primary focus, it's just sounds emmiting from my vocal cords. Nothing to fear. Most real mechanics cuss like sailors. That's just the nature of the extremely aggravating environment a mechanic exist in for decades. Shit gets old for sure and it makes one become bitter. Hard life for sure. Thanks for watching brother.

@@derrickgordon1164 Haha! I wasent feeling no pain, that's for sure. I like to chill and ponder over the shit.

@@derrickgordon1164 LS can make a killer engine, but they aint cheap to properly build and there are many other engine choices that are as good or better with the right build. Plus its the LS fanboys that get on my nerves. Bigblock Chevy still king of the GM engines. Bigblock Chevy was invented to dominate NASCAR from day one, it's the only GM engine ever designed as a racing engine first, then later detuned for pass car & truck use. And they respond to modifications better than anything.

Hell of a deal, I paid $650 for these 2 15x3 CENTERLINES, but they do have damn near brand new Mickey Thompson Sportsman front runners on them. So fuckers ain't cheap, so I didn't feel too bad about it. Plus the wheels look damn near new too. Came off a Pro Street Nova. The rears were 15x14 with 32x14.5x15 slicks on them. Wanted $800 for the rears. But I cant use them at this point. Would like to tub my Camaro out tho.

@@awfulcoffelsonecargarage8215 Its at the machine shop getting the works. Probably gonna be the block I use the Brooks aluminum rods, pistons & Moldex crank assembly in. Also the Dirt Modified DART Heads & DART intake.

@@DS-es7id Haven't really thought about it. Been planning on building it. Found a Buick Indy crank, rods, and pistons for $1800 bucks. 4.030 bore and 3.000 inch stroke Moldex crank. A big turbo on it and it'll be a monster.

@@heshtesh Those big Hedman fenderwell headers are nice. Put some on a S-10 years ago. Best header for them trucks.

@@thereluctantgearhead4544 Wish I could send you a pic to show you how they worked out, after wrapping the 3.5" pipes under the frame with 135 front tires I still have 5" of clearance from pipe to road.

Most I've ever bored a 350 was .090, but I have heard of people boring them .125 over will a full fill of Hard Bloc. Using the early blocks tho. The 68-72 350s are the thickest. This block was sonic checked many years ago when I worked in a shop with a sonic tester. It was unusually thick. I've bored at least 10 283s .125 over. Used to be the thing to do. Never seen a problem with it. I never messed with 307s, they were considered boat anchors back in the day. But of course they can be built. I preferred 302s, 327s, and 350s. Built a few 400s years ago, but they were more prone to problems. Didn't like drilling steam holes in heads for them. Had more head gasket problems with them too. I've had a couple rowdy 600+hp 400s back in the day. Most of the blocks were thin past 73-74. Couldn't bore them much past .030 over. They ran hotter too. The perfect SBC was the 327. I've put them thru hell few other production based engines could survive. Don't see many blown up 327s. I built a radical 68 MO 302 bored .060, ran 6.30s in the 8th, swapped a rowdy 406 in it and ran 6.10s. Went from a 7000 stall & 6-17 gear to a 5000 stall and 4-88 gear. Turned the 302 up 9500+rpm, the 406 went 7400-7600rpm. The 406 ended up blowing up. The 302 still lives to this day in a buddies gasser 57 Chevy drag car. I built it 35yrs ago or better. Runs high 6s in that 57. Those high rpm small cube SBCs are the shit. That 302 made around 2hp per cube. Built a few radical 292s and 288s from 283s also. Modified Production class type engines. Gotta turn em up tho. Music to my ears. Little bastards are loud. Most people building those small cube SBCs build them mild and never see the true potential. The old Modified class cars were pounds per cube depending on designation, so a light car with a small cube engine was better than a heavy car with a bigblock. A 292ci SBC with a 288/296@.050 solid roller with 14.5-1 compression is a beast. Too bad NHRA pulled the plug on that class in 1982. IHRA went with the Modifieds & Super Modified classes till the later 80s. Those were real hotrods. Them type engines took a lot of work. Valvesprings didn't last long either back then. Worked on them fuckers constantly. Bottom ends were bulletproof, but the valvetrain had a hard time keeping up. I usually used aluminum rods & killer pistons in those type engines. And of course forged cranks. Some production based, some aftermarket. Moldex and Velasco both made killer forged lightweight cranks. Price of shit these days is insane tho. Makes it difficult.

Ship load.

I have around 60+ engines. More than 30 SBCs. Too damn many. Fuckin nightmare to move. I'm looking for another house now with a big building to put all my shit in. Not looking forward to the move tho.

@@lewis730 Big ole forged chunk of history. Almost hate to use it. Prepped by Joe Reath himself. Damn near belongs in a museum. But it'll make a killer high revving 600+hp SBC. Might as well use it in its intended environment. It's lightweight too as far as forged steel crankshafts go. 42lbs. Uses 2 inch rod journals. It'll live at 8000-9000rpm no problem.

@@lewis730 I'm aiming for around 630+hp NA with 355ci. DART Heads came off a 630+hp Dirt Modified 358ci. Basically gonna build that engine, but with a lighter bottom end and a bigger cam. Go drag racing with it.
