I really enjoyed building this episode!!!! Hope y’all enjoy ❤️🔥🦅
Good choice for yourpowerplant there is a place that builds custom chargers and they use a marine engine because they are built for higher RPM I think you will be buying lots of tires
You've got some nice footage to wotk with that new gimbal setup
@@SuburbanK2500 sure do!!!!!! VERY stoked on it!
@@SuburbanK2500 shewwwww buddy that’s a good lookin burb!
Obviously we don’t have to comb through hours of footage in order to put these videos together. Yet I believe that you capture the essence of FSG in such an amazing way. I truly can’t imagine it could be done any better. Bravo kind sir, I truly appreciate all your time and effort.
40 years ago i was 40. Still feel 40. But sometimes the body says different. Thats going to be a gem of an engine. Cant wait to see her finished. Love the show kids.
One Day I was at a pub reading my book and every now and then I look up to see the score of the game or something. All of a sudden I realized it was taking a lot longer to refocus my eyes. I commented on this to the person next to me and they're like how old are you. I said I just turned... That's the age everything starts to go bad..
you still need a catchy name for this car
Yeh. I've learned the harder way that Fel-Pro gaskets are THE way to go
I guess a diesel duramax for the boat. Keep up the great vidoes! Love watching you guys and the family!
My name is mark. I watch your videos all the time. my son is Justin at summit racing he does videos for them all the time.
That’s awesome!!! He does a great job!
an idea for 1st start up for any engine that you guys may already know but just in case you dont know, before you put the distributor in the engine, install the oil filter and put the oil in the engine then get a high torque/power drill with a distributor shaft and put it down the distributor hole and prime the motor of oil then install the distributor and temporary fuel system and start the engine
Awesome engine swap, that should get the 57' up to planing speed on the interstate in no time flat. Just remember that when driving into a car show it's a ''NO WAKE'' zone hahaha love ya Dream Reevers
This was super satisfying to see. And I loved the paper trick I never knew that. So it will actually suck the paper in because a valve is not fully closed ? That’s cool
Just now getting to see this episode. Love the 55 project and really enjoyed this. I would like to point out a few of things that I noticed: 1. If you look at the distributor drive gear on the one you pulled out, it looked like a bronze gear. I couldn't tell if the one you installed had a steel or iron gear. If it is iron, take it out and replace it with one recommended by Summit. The roller cams are steel and can eat that distributor gear or cam gear up really quickly. This actually applies to all roller cams and distributor gear combinations, not just BBC 2. It appeared that y'all have a rectangular port intake and the stock heads are oval port. Maybe the gasket mismatch you noticed. The mismatch will likely cause power and tuning issues. That can be solved if you decide to get some aluminum heads just order the rectangular ports. One thing to consider when buying heads is that the Marine engines are very low compression. They had one on Engine Masters and the guys said it was around 8:1 so you would want to consider that when sizing combustion chambers and if you replace the cam. Good luck and I can not wait until the next 55 episode.
I scrapped a 1980's 454 marine engine and found out it was worth a fortune. The intake, exhaust manifolds and water pump were made from red brass.
40 is still young. I remember being 40. There are still many years of living left.
Boy that motor looks good! It doesn’t even look like it’s driven a single mile… heck, I’d put money on that thing never even being in a car before!!! 😂😂
Why you guys don't have half a million, or even a million subscribers is beyond me. Great video
We don’t get it either! 😂
Because have you seen the general population today?....LOL....More interested in TikTok and just buying/charging what you want instead of creating it.
I agree 100% , this is one of the greatest channels on UA-cam, great intelligent people, and Emily's beauty, what's not to like ❤
@@flyingsparksgarage get into more collaborations with other UA-camrs. Matts Offroad Games, and Cleetus' crown vic races....viewers get exposed to channels they may never otherwise stumble across.
Matt's Off Road, Trailmater, Robby Layton, Chad's Fab, Fab Rats, they're so often now in each other's videos. If you watch one of them, you're exposed to all of them fairly often.
Just my $0.02 worth, and that's Canadian, so....makes it worth even less?!? 😢 LOL 😆
I'm just glad we get to watch this channel grow.
That's what the contract says I should be says every married man...Young and in love,y'all are awesome!
I've been 40 for 14 years!!
Love that b-e-a-utiful flag ya got there :)
Love your show. Talked to you at a couple of the drag and drive events. Just to let you know, the valve cover on the passage side should be on the driver side. That recessed area that is on the front is to be on the rear to clear a vacuum power brake canister.
We learned that in this wonderful comment section!! Thank you!!!!
That carb looks great leave it purple
NICE! I just can’t tell you how much I like watching both of you! There isn’t words to describe it! Keep what you do “KEEP ON KEEPING ON”! You both are full of AWESOMENESS!
Wow, thank you! 😊 This sure means a lot!!
1:04 minutes, I'm an adult and i can make my own mistakes - precious
Dude that is awesome!!! Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
I👏am👏so👏excited👏about👏this👏build👏!!! I enjoy everything y'all do. And frankly, I've never been crazy about tri-fives. I just prefer oddball stuff that not everyone likes. But when you guys started digging into this and explained your general plan to get it on the road and enjoy it I knew it would be an awesome experience to watch it unfold. I learn something every time I watch your videos (and many other great youtubers) and I LOVE learning new automotive things. Killer video guys! Thank you as always for the awesome content and inspiration! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks to Summit for supporting this build… ima going to order stuff right now!
Again, I love you guys weather your working on a car or boat. My loves is in both departments. I'll keep watching.
As always, another awesome video. Love watching you two tear into engines. And....Finley adds so much too!
yes 40 is young. I'm 81 and am still working on cars, boats etd. Oh my sons also do the same. Jim Rio Vista, CA
Young kids!
I enjoy all of your videos, but the ones with TK are my faves!
Awesome‼️ guess I'll just have to keep sitting on the edge of my seat to see where ya go next! 😄
Last time I installed a big block with a seven litre oil pan with headers, I had to use a remote oil filter because I couldn't get the oil filter off. Have fun.
All the stuff you are taking off is worth alot of money.
40 is just getting good , a pair of gearheads perfect timing. BB heads have square ports or oval ports , don’t enterchange much . Auto and marine, few differences . Looks like a old skool L S 6 . It’s alive!
I'm 60 and my body crunches more and more LOL
Hi guys, most trifives with headers come pretty close to the power steering box. On my 55, I have wrapped the headers with a titanium basalt heat wrap and I have also run the low pressure return line from the steering box through a transmission cooler before it returns to the power steering pump reservoir.
What a Fantastic Video Emily & Aaron, you guys rock... Keep up the great work.
I'm guessing the new boat engine will be a 6.6 Duramax. LBZ probably.
Flying sparks, awesome!
You need to put a Yacht horn on it hahahaha love ya Dream Reevers hee hee I mean Captain 'Aaron' Sparrow
I also wanted to add , before I'd tear that head off , I put a water system on that engine and run it a while, especially if it was sitting for awhile, I'm a retired Chevrolet mechanic and it could be a valve sticking a little. Good luck and keep up the great work ❤❤
I’d agree with that. Temp water system, even. A hose plumbed into water pump at a trickle. Get it to temp for a while. Maybe dribble some water down the carb to steam clean that valve.
Good to see it coming along can't wait for the first burnout.....WOW
You all need to change out the stock suspension especially the front....Im hoping that is the plan......
How about a shirt with 57 Chevy 454 logo , Great video guys.
I agree with painting the purple on the carb .....black. Really enjoyed this video.
“Isn’t that pretty, that water pump….said no woman ever”. Just love that! 😅
37:00 There's Flyin Sparks in them there garage!!! 😂
Square port intake on an oval port set of heads
Hi guys. Just what I was hoping to see....big block power for the 57...awesome ! This is my favorite channel and even more entertaining now that Aaron talks more. I like the longer videos and this was great. If you take your time, get the right parts, it is going to be so much fun. Thanks for taking us along on these journeys. See you two and Finley next episode. Have fun and stay safe.
Can’t ever go wrong with a big block Chevy, love it! For the valve issue maybe rig up a radiator and give it the ole “Italian tune up” as VGG would say lol.
If Aaron's picking the new boat motor it has to be a diesel!
Double hump heads are small block performance heads. Always thought it was a silly thing to call heads.
I had some on my 56 Chevy.
Love the longer videos and keep up the good work.
we used to cut the heads off of 2 long bolts and cut a screw driver slot then fit two to the back off the block and use to guide into place easy
Thanks for working on all the stuff of my dreams!!!
Congrats on having Summit Racing “on board” (couldn’t help it - ex-Squid here)!!!
Been enjoying their excellent customer support since the early ‘90’s.
I learned this lesson years back not with the race car, but the van we towed it with: Taylor spark plug boot protectors are cheap insurance! In our case, the ignition miss only happened on long uphill sections, but yes, melty wire end and grounding out.
Sounds good and another great video 👍👍
about 3:30 .. and that folks is the difference between cats & dogs , Finlay opened one eye & thought ' hello human ' .... cat almost got up ready to attack human .... lol
Hahahahaha!!!! I wondered if the new gimbal might have freaked out the murder kitten
Since your yacht is named ''Stellar Views'' and your 57' share a marine motor. You should call the new land Yacht ''Stella'' hahaha love ya Dream Reevers
Love it yal are so cute together ❤❤❤❤
Great episode! Love the BBC for the 57!
Couldn’t figure out the title until I watched. Like it.
Looks nice ! If the valve cover hits the brake booster or master cylinder swap right and left.. thats what that flat spot is for.. also oil baffles maybe interfering the way you have them
🥳👍
1:05 I thot I was gonna see Stewart Smalley walk in lol😂😂😂😂
Flying sparks, you guys are awesome. Couple that are really into building muscle cars I like how u guys roll. Can't wait to see that 57 Chevy fired up and ready to rumble. By then I can say you are bad to the bones congrats and keeping u p with your vedios to see the outcome of your 57. Goodluck
Aarons gimbal shots are epic.
Okay guys, you absolutely right about boat motors.... the engine operation temp is usually 160° or lower. Oil does not get hot enough to bake the additives in oil to cause the crusties, or tge carbon build up. Now to keep engine clean, you will need to run a good synthetic oil to keep it that way. If no on the oil, run the 160° thermostat to keep it clean..... UNSOLICITED ADVICE FROM OLD BOAT MECHANIC!!!
PS, I set myself up a Summit account after this episode!
I wish my girlfriend got as excited about car / hotrod stuff like Emily does. She just looks at me like I am talking Chinees when I tell her something about my Jeep I am building.
lol I love how you take the time to put oil on the filter gasket, then proceed to pour oil all over the place. Hahaha
Gotta say I am glad you are back on the '57! I like the plan....take your time and savor the build! I figure that is one big rat that the shop cats won't be chasing! The valve is a minor setback and easily fixed. Great video and great fun! Best wishes guys and take care!
I really enjoyed this episode! Fun to see you both bring something to life again. Nice job! Excited for you both.
Yeah hell yeah sounds beautiful love that rumbling sound of a 454 hell yeah baby❤
Watching in the Philippines
Can't wait to see the new boat engine choice and process.
Exciting build and congrats on buying family homestead.
if the heads are comming off, good time to deck the heads a little and get just a bit more compression.
Enjoy your videos- I have two 57s. 210 2 dr hardtop and 210 Townsman wagon. The coupe has a 454. I am sure you know the valve cover with the slanted corner goes on the drive side. Was designed for vettes to fit around the brake booster. it doesnt matter just saying. Keep it up! I have also been on 2 HRPTs, 2018 and 19. See yall on the road.
Love this video. You should make more like these long videos. We enjoy watching you guys work take care. And bring some more videos. We love them.and love you guys
Lots of "Flying Sparks" here today!
I love Aaron's valve fix...Aluminum Heads! Oh Yeah! A set of AFR heads will be fit right nice.
Sorry to say , but O’Reillys doesn’t exist in my part of the country. I like that y’all are back on the 57 !
Great video Aaron and Emily + wee Finley 👍👍
Splendid!
That's going to make a nice cruiser
Nothing wrong with bouncing around from project to project.. A change is as good as a rest.. HAHAHA. Keep up the great work!! Thanks for all you do!!
That 57 is going to be mean!
Hope we see the new house when you move. great video as always.
One foot in front of the other, one step at a time it is running COOL.
Serpentine water pumps usually turn backwards of v belt water pumps so careful.
Oh, and aluminum heads sound awesome!
As Derek would say, "Give it the Italian tune up" with some Berryman B12 and see how the valves behave. That stuff is magic.
Always enjoy your bubbly personalities and especially the positivity. Can’t wait for the next one.
Big block Chevy.
Nice!
I so enjoy watching the two of you, you are both amazing love watching your builds Aaron 40 is not old
Great video guys. That 454 will scoot that 57 Chev around quickly.
Love the longer content. Gimbal skills impressive and that editor ain't too bad. Next maybe a mini drone in the shop HAHA
This is a great build, ready for a boat update as lake season gets in full swing.
Purple, orange and black, Halloween colors!
57 Chevy with a big block , too cool
Hopefully that intake works for you since the ports are square and the heads are roundish.( peanut port heads). The Warrior intake is a direct replacement aluminum intake for those heads.
This was honestly one of your best videos to date. Keep up the great work and we'll keep watching. Great job Aaron, Emily, and Adrian....oh and Findley.
Em, do your thing in Washington, us car people are depending on it!
Thank you!!! And yes - so glad she could go fight for our right to party!!!! 🏎️
Thanks so much!! We sure do appreciate you!!
The engine is going to be a 16 liter Detroit. Aaron came from big truck world after all. Love y’all’s work.
Love the mock-up of the engine and trans. That's the look of experience we see 🙂
