As a professional painter for over 40 years, you don’t need that super unnecessarily expensive blue masking tape. Regular white 1.5 masking tape is perfect. People always saying “white tape leaves a residue”. I can honestly tell you, the residue police never 👎🏽 came to any of my jobs. If you think you see residue, get some solvent and a rag and wipe the surface
That block has to much oil drainage from lifter valley on to the crank , i
Would close those slots off grind block to exit oil from ends to keep it
Off crank. Also it has 406 cu. Ins. In a 265 cu. In. Case, the outside never
Got bigger just inside,therefore it needs a crankcase evac system to
Releive presssure from 406 cubes! If not it will blow gaskets,done that,
Did that sbc 400 have steam holes im looking into buying a aftermarket 400 from summit I just don’t know much about pro and cons with the steam holes
Nice work love the small details.... (Details be the key) When is Part 2 coming??
What block is that Dart? I jumped the gun, if I would waited till 12:20 you would told us; lol! Nice build.
Jacob i know i would like to see a full assembly, and since your building me a 406 E power adder long block for my 64 Nova Pro Street with a 671 Blower it would be cool to see... Very impressed with Smeding i did alot of reserch this time for a engine builder, have one Blue Print engine which is ok but Blue Print engines is not intrested in building what the Customer wants, maybe your viewers would be curious to see the 2nd key way cut for the blower hub and ATI balancer that is going on it.... Looking forward to the new Bullet and thank you for your content which really made my choice to go with Smeding..
Thank you for creating great videos. Are you planning to sell a course on how to rebuild these type of engines? I'm DIY person and I want to rebuild a marine engine for my first time. But I think I need to buy a course to do that. If you are not planning to sell a course for that. Would you recommend an online course that I can do?
Sinful that block should be ORANGE. But really good work
I totally agree that it should be orange since it's a sbc
@@robertquackenbush5547all depends on the build ! If I was swapping it in a crummy black mustang ….well it will be painted black…🤷🏻♂️🏁😆
Love the dart blocks after my 439 big block is finished I will be building a 406 or 421 or 427
Personal preference, but I would put the block drain plug in before paint - they sit around a while, and... I'd rather be scraping paint off a fitting then having the hex round out when I do need to remove it. Really nicely done all around.
Question: is it even possible to setup an shp block for an external oil pump?
Love the 400 SBC 😍
Deck should've been checked along with the mains. Wouldn't be first time they're off on aftermarket block. So far nothing much different here than a shadetree build.
I was the 406 like lol. Got to love the the 406 platform!
We need part two!!! Awesome content
That’s exactly how I paint a block. No auto makers do it like that. I thought I was the only one!
Would you recommend a 406 for a towing motor?
Sure wish my machine shop was this Professional, I'm on 3rd engine in my S10.....street truck
Great video when is part 2 coming!!!
really nice work!
whats it cost at "ready to assemble stage?"
thanks!

Your machining looks so much better than what I received on my block 2 weeks ago, I still have to flatten out the passenger side deck because there is a small pieceof metal that wasn't cut. I also found a knick in one of the sleeves. I sanded it down but now it has a dip. I was told since its past the half way point it won't be a problem. I sure hope it isn't.
Keep me updated on how it runs. Have a 400
I’ve been building for about. A month going to try starting it in a couple more days a few things to do
@@kylerogers6755 I just got my cam in 2 weeks ago. My brother and I are putting it together and with the home schooling and his hours at work its taking us a while. Did you get it going?
yeah, if theres no burrs on the sleeve and the knick is outside the range of the piston rings, you should be fine. shame that it happened though. That deck issue is weird though.
nice easy video to watch & learn.
ima not a everyday engine builder,
so its nice to watch & see the
“ what i can do/what i cant do”
parts for pre-assembly prep.
Beautiful block
When’s part 2? Really enjoyed the video. I’m wanting to build a 406 for my c10.
Fat Free Milk I just got the pistons for it today, should have part 2 ready in a couple Sundays
I've heard some engine builders claim they get some pretty good results from MetalLax stress relieving and it actually pulls a lot of casting slag crap from the hidden regions we can't see
My hubby likes 406s much bettet than 383s after all think about it a 406 is bigger than a 396 BBC ! Plus about 230 lbs. Lighter ,! And will torque harder. From 0 rpm , my hubby calls it touch of the thottle torque !
Never seen know one tape one up like this. Unless it was going to be sitting for a while.
Why uncovering some of the machine surfaces wouldn’t that cause sealing problems?
Was the ASMR intentional or by accident? Repost as Engine ASMR and you'll get more views. Lol
When I worked in a machine shop, we always torqued the main caps when block plate honing but I don't know if it makes any difference because block plate honing itself makes only a very small difference. Like almost none.
How can you not know if it makes a difference when you worked in a machine shop??
@@lollipop84858
I did it because when the main caps are torqued it simulates how things would be stressed when the engine is assembled and running like with the torque plate. Like I said before, using a torture plate makes so little of a difference there's no need to measure each bore after removing it. It makes the most difference on an engine where the head bolt holes in the deck are very close to the bores like a SBC 400. It's not something a regular automotive machine shop generally measures to see the difference.
I have a coupl e of friends who work at machine shops i have a friend who works steve Schmidt racing in the engine building department even though hus dad owns a really good machine shop
There is cone shaped tool to put in a drill to chamfer tops of cyls.
To many chances to hit the cylinder wall the demurred angle should be done by the machinist boring the cylinder with the machine
Where’s the rest of the parts…
That's just cruel
Making a part 1 with no follow up.😡
I would never paint an engine block Black
Its cheating when you use an aftermarket block.
I cheated a lot and went with the Dart Little M for my Sonoma's engine.😁
@@heshtesh I'm hoping to find a good stock two-bolt 400 block to build next year. I realize a lot of engine shops will scare you out of using stock blocks if you want to make 500+ hp. They just want to take the easy route and start with an aftermarket block.
Now just take it to the right shop. I got a stock block out a 71 k5. The shop has that motor with the 817 stamp doing 550 at the motor. 475 to the wheels
What's the money. None of that looks cheap
1:55 Wouldn't head bolts stress an engine block differently than studs?
Yes they would. You should always hone with the same style fasteners you plan to build the engine with. This engine is getting head bolts
@@JacobVillemain That's exactly what I thought. Shops like Texas Speed dont seem to think there is any difference and told me they fasten all their plates with bolts.
Chamfer the bottom numbers please
Good workmanship. Good video. Thank you
So you built a 400 not a 406.😅
4.155 is .030 over 406cid
Great video thanks!
EDIT* Sorry I caught the 3.800 stroke at the end.
I hate black paint on an engine.
What happened to part 2?
To build a 406 stroker, shouldn't bore be 4.155?
This has a 3.800” stroke crankshaft.
4.125” x 3.800” = 406”
@@JacobVillemain i see.. you chose the stroke over the bore..
I just got an SHP block. Is the Deck good for MLS head gaskets from the factory?
Of the Boers
Great Videos, just watched three and Subscribed
Where is part 2? And the full build
What head gaskets did u use
Where part 2?
Awesome video! Where’s part 2 ??
Engine assembly got moved along before I could film it :/
How much for that block
$2,500
@@JacobVillemain What's special about your block? Summit has them for $1720.
@@rbarger71 he paid more making it extra special
Do you have a block for sale
Can you be more specific?
@@JacobVillemain do you have a 454 block for sale that in good condition?.drainesbilly@gmail.com is my contact if you do
