- In this video I take you along and show you some pretty cool tricks for dialing in your combustion chambers. what I do on these BRODIX B1 MOPAR heads can be done to just about any head out there.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.

So sorry for your losses, that is a lot process in less than a year, wishing you and your family peace. Glad to see another video from you, been looking forward to it for sure. I learned a lot and want you to know, you're a great teacher, love the vids, the music, the honesty and of course, the Mopar. You do fantastic work and should be very proud. Until the next video, be well from Florida.
Rob, this comment…
Thank you… thank you soo much 🙏🏻
I’m saving this one for sure.
Kevin
Sorry to hear about you losing your parents and your wife's grandparents. I lost my dad a long time ago and my mom a couple years ago. I miss them both very much. The good news is that you can keep your special memories of your loved ones forever.
Thanks Craig. Ya its been really strange without them around. They were all retired here in Carson and such a big part of our lives... and your right about those memories.
Sorry about the loss of your parents as well. I feel ya
I know this is an older video, but man, your methodology and attention to detail is excellent. I really enjoyed this and will check my engine before I finish assembly now. Legend!
@@bigmuz_pilot thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback. I’m excited to start releasing some more videos. Everything is ready to go and I’m excited to put this thing together! Thanks again for participating and commenting. I really appreciate that. It’s very motivating. Have a great day..
Kevin
Good to have you back working on the engine! David Vizard and Daren Morgan have some good video to see on your topic. I am sorry to hear of the loss to the family!
Thanks Mike,
Sorry for your losses. Glad you’re back on this beast! Ed at Ed’s machine deshrouded my Edelbrocks in his machine for my stock 400 build. I’m hoping to hit 500 hp. I’d be honored to be considered playing checkers in my engine builds compared to your chess set here. Awesome job as always. Mopar to the front!
Hey thanks joe, I really appreciate your kind words. I’ve been enjoying your 400 build, you and Ed have a great thing going over there, it’s fun to follow along.
And watching you guys at the No Name Nationals was really cool. Makes me miss my ole girl. Thanks Joe 🙏🏻
sorry for the loss of your parents and wife's grand parents, been through it also not a great time in my life. Im enjoying watching you build your 588" B1 headed street/race car.I cant wait to see the shake down passes at Fallen. always loved the early 60 mopar body styles. I raced super street/super gas With a 69 dart (stage 6 headed 452")i built for a few years before getting into drag racing boats... been racing boats for around 20 years now. i have a 380 lb Kurtis 501 with a 604" KB block, predator N/A combo, made 1282 hp. ive built a few B1 MC motors, last one made 1045 hp with a single carb ,keep up the hard work the finish line is in site....
Tony this is so motivating to hear!!
Man, I would love to build a predator headed engine in the future.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for the support. 🙏🏻
@@griffittsgarage When your ready to make the jump to predator power, look me up have a bunch of misc. parts been running them for 20 plus years, built a bunch of different cubic inch, combos for my self and others.... looking forward to the eight of next month, my new steel T&D 1.95 rockers will be shipping , ordered them in May
Good video Kevin.
Sorry to hear about all your families loses.
You guys were not dealing with one loss, but four loses. Has to be very devastating.
Prayers for your family and loved ones
I try to convey this unshrouding the chambers all the time.
I like free horse power.
The low and mid lift flow has to be increased alot.
As well as peak flow.
Thanks for sharing.
You do beautiful work.
What a professional!
Glad you're back Kevin.
Take care, Ed.
Nice motor. 16 to 1, that's alot of punch. I like my 8.5 to 1 compression engines for the torque and are more forgiving, LOL. I follow the theory of "If you build for torque, the horsepower will follow" I love my torque.
There you go… keep it safe like that and they run a long time 🏁
Thanks for watching :)
🙏🏻
How does a limited static compression ratio contribute to torque ???
It lets u run pump gas. That's about it.
@@michaelmoon8856 You get the torque from the advance curve which is more aggressive.
It's July 3rd at 2:30am, I just prepared my heads for install on my 107 to 129ci Big Bore build I started in February.
Depression, PTSD, and lost my 21 year old nephew Kyle. My condolences. My Pretty Little Philly called me from Guam yesterday because she knows I never miss her birthday. This year, I missed all four of my children's B-day, and my two grandsons as well.
I feel you brother. And I understand your passion. Thanks for the inspiration. Subscribed 🔔

My Navy Brother… I felt every word. 🙏🏻Thank you soo much for this message, I appreciate you and I feel the strength in your words.
This project, as I work alone I feel extra connected to my parents, they were the ones that were most interested in my progress and when I finally get to fire this beast up, I’m driving straight to my Dads old place, even though he’s no longer there… I told him long ago, that’s where I was going…
Squid, you fire up that bad hombre of yours and think of those you’ve lost as you rip it down the road for the first time!!
There’s always more good times ahead.
Kevin
@@griffittsgarage yes, better days are on the horizon. No matter how far that horizon appears.

This is my new channel.
It's 1900, and it took me 4 hours to walk into the garage and 5 hours to rewire/install my new horn.
The engine is done, but I can feel the slow walking I'm doing.
Fear 😰 of Failure.
Do you experience this molasses in your blood just before light-off?
Failure would mean my road trip to Milwaukee then Sturgis is a bust.
I'm going to make a belt adjustment today then do the final assembly.
Watching your video again for more inspiration. Your words encapsulate the "WHY."
"It's going to cackle"
I hope 🤞

@@RidersShipmate cool brother I will check it out.
I don’t light these things off often enough to feel comfortable with the process. People will say things like man. Let me know when you’re gonna fire it up. I wanna be there, and I always think to myself… when that time comes. I’m gonna light it off when no one’s around. I don’t need the added pressure ha ha.
good luck brother. I’m curious to see how it goes for you.
Oh it’s gunna cackle 😎🏁
Im so sorry for your loss
Thanks Steve, it’s been a tough year.
I appreciate it
Now I want to build a B1 van
Haha
I got a 72 shorty with no paperwork, She's all yours Ray. ha
Sorry to hear about your family's losses. Awesome build series.
Thank you very much. It’s been weird without them around. But at the same time it makes me want to try harder and do things better. It has me living life like their watching.
Thanks for checkin in 🙏🏻
Kevin
Sorry for your losses, .. thank you sir for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Victor, thanks for stopping by. Things seem to be getting easier these days. It’s interesting how losing people that are close effects us soo much. My Mom always asked about the car… my dad absolutely loved it. I’m still working on it.
Wish there were more hours in the day. Ha
Kevin
Great Video. I love when I can learn something new. I'm building a 540 bracket motor with the same block that you have. With a set of Indy SR ported to max wedge size. I'll be definitely checking my combustion chamber and porting my chamber to match. Thanks for the great advice. Sorry for your family's loss.
This is awesome feedback Lee!
Your combination sounds great!
Best of luck
I had the reverse issue, where my bore was bigger than the combustion chamber. Factory 400 block bored at 4.375 with trickflow heads, my fix was to notch every bore around the intake valve. I have not heard from anyone having this issue, maybe they never checked. Then after i decked .080 from the heads now 65ccs i did what you did and fit the chambers to each bore.
Fun stuff
Yeah I want to say sorry for your losses also.
All those years of reading, following, learning have been worth it, and can accelerate the learning for others. Porting of heads and matching them to the bores sounds so logical but I hadn't seen any focus on it from my previous reading - that said, what you're building is about 600HP above what I have been expecting so far ;)
It's good to know that when you were hurting, you devoted the time and effort to what mattered and found your way through it. I don't think anyone fully heals from those things, but all of us are shaped by our experiences whether they're pleasant or upsetting; we change whether we want to or not, we just have to try and steer ourselves towards our goals and as much health and happiness as possible.
Thank you Aaron. I was really close to my mom and dad. I miss them every day. My whole life, every time I visited them they would ask about the Fury and want to know what the latest was…
There must be tremendous growth in this whole process of loosing one’s parents. At this point, that’s what I’m thinking.
Thanks again for the support 🙏🏻
K.i.s.s. nice job Kevin.
Thank you, I really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Hope your family is doing better. How does the gasket look? And Kevin, you know quite a bit of information. I've got a copy of all those old magazines as well. It's a wealth of knowledge. Can't wait to hear it run and see your time on the track. I'm happy for you
Thanks X. I appreciate it man. And that’s cool you still have all those old magazines Those are the equivalent to the Encyclopedia Britannica but for guys like us. Haha
Oh ya, I’ll have to show how the 4.5 cometic gasket looks against the finished chamber
@@griffittsgarage knowledge is knowledge, just like they say on Star Trek you cannot change the laws of physics. All the steps that you take with this build are all the steps I took with my builds obviously we have a lot of the same references. Just out of curiosity did you go over your cam selection? I'm very curious to know you were lobe Centerline and primarily split overlap in degrees. Glad you're back on track with your project
Mr Griffiths
I have been watching your channel for a while. We have many Mopar dreams that are identical
More importantly, I’ve just heard of your recent family concerns & applaud your priorities.
Had a similar family loss episode while simultaneously going through a divorce. Most difficult period of my life. You seem healing, Gods speed.
Still have highschool grad present, 69 Coronet conv. Four of them now & a hardtop which I want to twin turbo 440. Expecting girdle,studs, 2x4bbls,forged guts, thinking forced air complicates bob weight concerns, comp cam , figuring which one? Trick flow but aware of B1 for years….streetable? Requires special aftermarket intakes n headers? Your piston choice interesting? Hobbiest like you. Retiring dentist 45 yr hobby switching new “career” Just got dream garage. Enjoying your 440 build
Frank, its nice to meet you, thanks for the kind words. I feel ya when you talk about going through similar tough times. Interesting that you mention healing... I am a healer of sorts. I absolutely love how this tiny little channel has brought so many like minded enthusiasts together.
Also, I love the thought process of deciding which parts to run and why. As you know, this engine would not be very practical as a true daily driver and it could evolve over time. We live at 5000' elevation and that is one of the ways i get away with 12 to 1 compression on 91 pump gas. The B1 platform does address some of the design limitations of the traditional style production heads. This head was designed in the 80's and is in need of an update, but for its size its pretty good.
Thanks again for being here.
Kevin
Family comes first, cars are just things. Glad to see you took the time to smell the flowers and cope with your loses. Looking forward to seeing this thing come to life, btw what compression did you decide on?
Hey Rusty, thanks for checking in, thanks for the kind words.
I’m actually working on a piston video now. Decided to limit the compression to 12:1 …,wish we had E85 up here.
Rusty how’s the Dart coming along, I’ve been wondering about ya man… making progress?
Dart is being worked on around 4 days a week,goal is to drive it by next summer.
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing your story and your skills. Looks like a very nice build. I pray for you and your family to have peace.
Thank you Mike, that means a lot. We’re getting along.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Keep it up man!
Thanks Dillon!! 🙏🏻
Hellya another good one
Awe thanks Brotha 🙏🏻
Got a big announcement video coming soon.
Have a great weekend
Kev
I've been doing that for years and had people argue with me that it doesn't matter. I have a 6. Liter LS with the LS3 head which has a wider chamber than the 4 inch bore. The patch is to bevel the top of the block. People tell me still, that it doesn't matter. I don't understand anyone who understands air flow would think that way.
How low can you get your compressing down ? Can you run pump gas or need to Tip the Can a bit ? Is there a Cast Tunnel ram out or only custom sheet metal ? Love yor build videos. Full of info. 👍
Thank you for the comment Michael! We live at 5000 ft of elevation and up here I like to run the aluminum head street/strip engines at 12-1 on 91 octane with limited timing. The piston video shows how we had to dish the piston in the center, running a quench ring just around the perimeter of the piston crown. I will run race gas at the track though, just to keep it safe.
There’s just something cool about pulling up the the gas pump on Saturday night 😎
Thanks again for stopping in 🙏🏻
I have the intake manifold video just about done.
Kevin
Boy thats Pretty
Thank you sir! 🙏🏻
So what compression ratio did you end up with?
Hi Thomas… I’m having the dish in the piston mirror the shape of the combustion chamber and knocking the static compression down to 12:1
I had a 65 belvedere ll,is that a fury or Belvedere ll,?I want another Belvedere,64 or 65 actually a savoy,love your videos
Thanks Dave!
Mine is a 64 fury, I bought it in 1985 when I was a senior in high school. I’m really excited to get it back on the road.
Thanks for the kind words.
Kevin
How far around the front and back of the valve are you opening the chamber up? Is this amount just a feel? Or a rule of thumb?
Thats a great question Steve! I like to follow the radius of the bore diameter till it intersects with the quench pads on each side of the chamber. I didn't realize i glossed over that in the video.
Run e85 !!!
I would love to run it, but here is no E85 in northern Nevada :/
Thanks for stopping by Bob
Wye not E85, much cheaper than racegas.
I would love to run it on E85, we just don’t have it here :/
Thanks you for watching and commenting 🙏🏻
I would beg, borrow or steal some e85 if I were you Kevin. Lol.. this build is just begging for it. I'm fortunate that e85 is available all over So Cal. Every Chevron station carries it.From what I've heard ,you can buy barrels wholesale. Awesome vid , and awesome job on the edits b.t.w. 🍻
@@Torquemonster440 hahaha thanks Brotha.
Ya, we had one station in a town south of us that used to have it, but then they quit selling it. If E85 ever comes to Carson, I’ll do a piston swap and let her rip.
Thanks for the comment man 🙏🏻
So sorry much loss😢Psalm 116:15
Thank you 🙏🏻 I really appreciate that
𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙢 ☝️
🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻
So sorry for your losses! Lives & living is so much more than a bunch of parts! You need to decompress sometimes! This is an awesome vid! Are you going to Power Tour or Drag Week this car?
Hey thank you Vincent. I couldn't agree more, I miss my parents soo much. Staying focused on my goals really seems to help. Also the support of the youtube community has been amazing.
I have a TON of respect for the drag and drive guys! Man that would be fun to do!!
