512 Stroker Block Work
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- This is the first video in the 512 Mopar Stroker Series, made from a low deck 400 mopar engine block. This video shows the block decking, a few simple checks, and the finish honing of the block. This engine went into my 1968 plymouth Barracuda race car, and was ran at the 2023 #nonamenationals. I also have several track test sessions coming up with this engine in the car. To see the total combination, chech ouyt the next videos in this series.
To see the released footage of this engine running, check out this video: • The Sikeston Screw Job...

This is such a great video. Rick is the best person I've ever listen to convey a mechanical dialog, and I hope he keeps doing these sort of videos.
Thanks, brother. I’ve got more to come on this one. We cranked it out in only a few weeks and had it in the car in a few days. He even came over and helped me get it stabbed in!
Nice work Rick and Joe.
Go Mopar!👍👍
Thanks, Ed! Always a good day when a mopar is involved
very nice block!
Thanks Tim!
Excellent!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, very cool. 512 out of a 400, that motor should be powerful and love fuel.
Absolutely! So far I’ve been 6.35 in my barracuda last year. I’m waiting on cooler weather to start a good tuning session and finally start spraying it for the #nonamenationals grudge races.
Great looking block and crank. The accuracy is 👍. Love watching machinery like that. So we can see & relate to where that horsepower at the track comes from. Thx for showing us behind the scenes Joe !!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Tim!
Dang Joe, that is some nice looking pieces you've put together for this build. I was looking forward to see how that deck cleaned up at .003 but you cut to the boring process... are you still keeping some secrets here ? 😊 Great video and keep them coming. Thanks
Thanks brother! I’ll show it more coming up. .003 made it slick! I forgot the clip of the profilometer on the deck too. 🤦🏼♂️
Awesome work!👍
Thanks Mitch!
👍🏻💯🇦🇺
Thanks brother
You did good at No Name Nationals!
Thanks Rick! And thanks for the help!
Curious, why did you chose the 512 shorter rod over the 500 longer rod kit? Should be a cool build regardless. You mentioned solid roller cam, what heads you planning on running? Thanks.
On this kit, the pistons listed as 1.320" compression height, do NOT use oil support rails. The 500 kits do as well. I was also interested in the 4.25” stroke versus the 4.15”, as I only run a 4.10 gear ratio. It’s had mph like a banshee. I used the edelbrock e street heads from the 406 that was on the dyno. I’m now to the point of having to add safety equipment to the car or it won’t be able to tech at some tracks.
Sneaky
It’s what’s on the inside that counts!
Sneaky Mopar Joe . Good job I wish you’d had more time on the track before the NNN .
I’ve always been impressed with what a good machinist can do . They are quickly disappearing . I’m ready for the next video
More to come! Thanks Buddy for the support!
Always enjoy seeing quality machining happening. I don't think its a secret anymore now that its on the web !!!
Cheerz!!!
Thanks brother
I take it nobody's ever accused you of being smart??
@@rexmasters1541 positive connotations don’t warrant accusations.
Got a neighbor with one in a ‘68 Bengal Charger. He’s a 1/3 of a mile out the road from me and you can feel it here when he cranks it up.
That’s awesome!
Another great vid Joe. Question, Can you get an idea of how straight the main line is by examining the bearings when you disassembled the engine for the first time?
It’s possible, but you’d have to have an absolutely straight crankshaft. But they say crankshafts bend a bit like spring when they’re under heavy load.
Yes that was a real sneak job you pulled of and the only clue I picked up on was you told us you were not going to give out any more time slips but I didn't see a motor swap in the mix and what a good motor it is need to dyno that one great job as usual
Thanks again! I really wish I could have dynoed it. It’s never too late, in the future 😂
Nothing like a therapeutic mill job on a big block Chrysler motor.
For sure!
Your 512 build is close to my old raised block motor Mine is a 540ci. with a 4.5 inch 440 source stroker assembly. Its being replaced now and I use Victor heads on the old motor. It ran 6.20's in the 1/8th. I get good traction with it so you will get yours sorted out soon is my guess. I run 29/12/15 slicks. I only run N/A but i'm old school. I got the feeling you will like the motor.
Thanks brother. I only have the e street heads, with a best N/A et of 6.40, with my little 750 AED carb. When I switched to the 850 AED Super comp, I haven’t found traction yet! I have some 29x10.5w slicks to try with my 4.10 gears. Previously, I’ve only used the 28x10.5 pro bracket radials
I run a Dana out back with 4.10 gears myself. I also have two batteries in the trunk. I'm on ladder bars. I'm 110-112 mph at the 1/8. 6.40 is real good with the e street heads.@@JustMoparJoe
That's the lightest kit that they make if I am not mistaken, should be one mean mutha when it is done, sure would like to build one for my charger, so I will be paying attention to this build for sure, hope you have good luck with it
Thanks Dina! I will definitely put as many passes on it as possible!
I suspected as much ,months ago, but I kept my mouth shut. That Cuda scoots!
Thanks Brother! She fell into the car in late August! Track tests coming soon
Gonna be nice! What did you say the stroke of the crankshaft is.
This one is 4.25”
JMJ 💪🏼
🎃🙌🏼
512,wow that’s a lot of cubic inches!
I think this was one of the largest “drop in” kits, that didn’t require a lot of modification to the block.
Joe do you know what the car weighs with you in it ?
I wanted to reweigh it this year at nnn, but couldn’t. It was 3170 with me in the car, and the iron headed 360.
Secret weapon. My name is s Joe, Mopar Joe
Gonna reload for next year!

Nice build for Mopower
Thanks brother
The 400 you built for the cuda still runs a stock crank?
Yes sir. The old engine. It was external balanced and still works beautifully. I’m saving it for an actual street car. That’s what it was built for initially. But that stock crank did well at 535 horse and 100 shot of nitrous at George rays. I’m not too worried about it, but I was at spraying 200 on it lol
@@JustMoparJoe so the 400 in the video is getting a 440 crank and that's what you're putting in the Cuda next?
🍿
💪🏻
Will do that for you always passed it to my family, friends, and coworkers! Great evening to you and enjoy your work week the best you can JMJ.😊
Is he using a slab of polished granite underneath the sandpaper?
No idea on that one. Go check out his channel if you like hemis
@@JustMoparJoe I use granite to sand curling rocks to make them curl more. I also put sandpaper on granite to polish ice scraper blades to make the true.
Awesome 😎
Thanks Shane!
Great evening to you and I hope you have enjoyed your trip and won a few while you were at it. God bless your family and you JMJ! I will be enjoying the video I do believe. Looking forward to seeing what you are doing this evening
Thank you! You too!
That thing was a beast, Great job Joe!!
Thanks brother! Lots to improve for sure
Good job Joe.... can't go wrong with a engine build ....
Thanks brother
What kind of hp did it make?
Did you dyno it?
No sir. No time or 💰to dyno. So far, it’s .6-.7 faster than the 536 hp engine. But I’ve having traction issues 😂
@@JustMoparJoe I’m in the middle of building a 512 , 400 engine , 440 Source, I went with the dome pistons, set of speed pro Vic jr knock off ,
I should see 700 plus HP
My heads flowed 340
Motor I have is only a 437 ,, 383 block, 440 crank and rods , old set of Venoilia pistons. Set RPMS out the box ,STX21 racer Brown cam
@@dennisrichardson2577 that’ll make a starter hurt! 😂
@@dennisrichardson2577 one reason I love my heads. I don’t know the flow numbers and they have e-street printed on the front😂. Same with the street dominator intake. Just a street engine
Ohh😮, glad you are doing some handy work on the shop.
Me too!
Compress I can't even say it's funny
