To me both engines are great. But for a descent street machine, it would have to be the slightly muted 750Hp. As low down power is better suited for the street!

Not high performance, because it's intrinsically a poor design. And typically enough too many people don't have any knowledge of recent engine history. A 90 cubic inch BMW four cylinder racing engine made a reliable 1000hp and up to 1400 hp for qualifying, in the mid 1980s.

The building doesn't matter, nor does formal education! Don Garlits set his first engine in a dragster hanging from a tree branch! I had a friend that was a late model sprint racing champion up north. His car was almost unbeatable. He told my dad "this winter I'm going to go down south and show those hicks how it's done!" Dad laughed inside! He came back after about 2 races, dad said " how did it go" the driver said "man, some of those guys had to sign their name with an X and couldn't read or write, but by god they could build a car and knew how to DRIVE!

@@matrox there are 4 litre na BMW engines that are bigger and heavier than a 7 litre Chevy LS7 too, while making much less peak power and having a much narrower powerband. Long live the pushrods :)
Holy crap that thing's a beast. 😳 I always wondered why NASCAR style engines couldn't be found on the street. It's great to see they're finally making their way. More choices in engines is always a good thing. Great video sir!! 👌
A lot of the problem is that everything is different than standard engines. Such as they don’t have places for engine mounts because in the race cars they use engine plates. It also gets into race car stuff so the price tends to be high. With plentiful cheap turbo kits a lot of people just go the easy way and throw some turbos at a more standard engine.
This could be your best engine build video to date. Would love to see this engine with a little less compression/cam and a Holley Hi-Ram-style fuel injection. Keep the videos coming.
This is like a dream come true. I'll need an engine to replace the 270 HP 350 in my Ricky Rudd Tide #10 car from the mid 90's. it's already street legal! I would love to build a street R07 for it!
Now that’s an engine that dreams are made of. Wish my drag car had a 1000 up small block in it. Us poor boys have to stay with big blocks to get within 100 hp of that!!!
I just dropped a big block in my truck butit inst for street but for mud. 8.1L from an 02 silverado. getting all bigs worked out, then rebuilding next year...not aiming for much... just 500hp... but the torque!!!!
@Louie Dega Well how about you spend less time mocking others of their downfalls and put more energy into helping others achieve what you have achieved to move the car world as a whole forward. It's people like you that make the car community toxic for no reason, bonehead.
I really enjoy the way the gentleman narrates the entire build. It's easy to understand and well presented making the entire video interesting and informative. The photography is excellent. Thank you
The current NASCAR engines before they were neutered were so dang impressive, they’d sing all the way to 9500+ RPM’s all day long. I’d love to have one sitting my family room just to stare at. Lol Awesome video! I’ll be sad when these motors are obsolete but hell, might give us regular folk the opportunity to get our hands on one. Probably not... but it’s a good thought lol
This is one of the best Aspirations Index ( AI ) for a naturally aspirated engine ever. 397 times the 8300 rpm power peak, divided by gross peak hp is 3450. The Australian V8 Supercar 305 engines, its 3630. I cant recall exactly the test, but I know for sure one of Richard Holdeners best 5.3 liter destroker LS was 3880, it was some thing like 550 hp at 7000 rpm or 630 hp at 8000 rpm from 305 cubes. A flat head Ford was 221 × 3600/ 85, or 9360. As the AI number drops, you are extracting the most hp from the least rpm. That modified R07 IS a Dynomo!
@TRUTH CENSORED Personal opinion only, one which is worth nothing, (but since you asked....here it is) Give it away to the irreligious, non political and Un monied , and have no strings attached when you give it. And watch out for people with really tidy hair and natty dress. Over compensation is a means of raiding your pay packet. Good fortune with your quest.
I'd be very happy to have the street provision of this motor. 750 hp with around 550 ft lbs of torque pulling to maybe 8k rpm would be the best N/A option available.
Having to torque those extra fasteners upside down in the valley is a tiny pain compared to fixing half the things on a modern daily driver. Amazing voiceover work!! Subscribed
Just amazing how much the cup motors have evolved since I started in 1994 not to mention all the other stuff. I remember the first job I had to do was cut all the cross bars in the roof out because had to install flaps in all the cars. And learned a lesson about rinsing the shower out after doing that because the next morning it was covered in rust, took me a week to get it clean.
A food for thought in case no one else figured it out. By moving the camshaft up further, it allows for a reduction in pushrod length and a much more narrow block. Less length means less flex and less flex means more RPM to turn without fear of bending a pushrod. The extra head studs also distort the cylinder walls and change it from a circle to more of an oval shape when it's torqued down. This change can have a major difference in ring sealing and power making plus a reduction in blowby. It's the small things you chase that make a big difference and wether you're 1st or last.
Raising the cam was necessary just because the cam journals are so big. I always wondered why production engines had the cam so low in the block. I thought it should have been raised long ago.
One of the best engine reviews I've seen yet, awsome engine too, even if it only scratches the surface of the tech, engineering and science in these engines
My 455 Buick made 428hp at 4200 rpm and 565 ft lbs at 2800. All with a crower 210/214 @ .050 cam. Now that is a fun street sleeper. Idle is near stock and runs 11.70s.
That actually sounds like a lot more fun than what's in the video. 565 at 2800 that's some push lol. I can't imagine tunnel ram and a cam that starts at 5600 being fun in street traffic.
Some years ago, a guy had a Bush Grand National engine (next class below NASCAR) in an old rotted out Nova with a 5.88 gear, running pump gas and slicks, on the street! Ended up loosing it due to drag racing. Didn't want to shut off and had some amount of spark knock, but that ratty old Nova would straight get down! Wasn't around for long but built up an iron clad reputation to us gear heads as not to be messed with, though we still tried! Great and informative video, my hats off to ya, sir! Thank you!
I worked on these when I worked at Hendrick Mortorsports. I was doing cylinder heads for the SB2 and the RO7 up until 2021. Also these heads here are some of the first, they have changed drastically now.
A 7+ liter R07 for the street would be the ticket. The deck is pretty short (about 9 inches) so the rods would have to be shorter and the ring package would be pushed way up on the piston. But it should be doable as an NA engine.
Badass motor. You should get ahold of Dugans Racing Engines in Riverside, CA. They are building 555" motors that are 1100hp designed to go 1000 miles offroad in Trophy Trucks. Similar builders are Kroyer Racing Engines in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Honestly after watching an awesome video about this legendary engine I think the R07 is my favorite engine. I mean a naturally aspirated,carbed,small block Chevy making 955HP is unbeatable to me (except maybe a cammed and stroked out LS3 or LS7). Honestly I would choose this engine over anything else everytime except for LS's. Awesome video my man.
Having watched the clip on the Ford Nascar engine very different. 2.650 the same as a Clevo which were always considered to be too high in crank speed. People in the past modded them down to Chev size. 2.498. Crankshaft and piston speed have always been an issue. And camshaft twist happens with very high rpm engines. 410 Sprinters have a problem driving everything off the front and rear of the cam and break cams. And they 'only' turn 8500!
I noticed at one point when turning the engine block over on the stand that the weight of the big ratchet on the crank rotated the crank as the block was turning over after they had shown piston installation
Best part about this post was the fact NASCAR engine builder PME was planning to offer actual engine components and build anyone, a crate engine basically with the knowledge and tech of a nascar engine that’s truly engineered to withstand 20k miles durability testing, not single races. Yet some of these pond jumpers want to compare the thousands of engines built over decades to some exotic one off, no average person can afford super car, that requires $100k services every 5k miles, no thanks! My only fear is the oil belt here! Awesome stuff from Pro Motor, American Muscle like No other.
Amazing build.... can run this engine hard all day long and not worry about busting anything. Bring it home, change oil and plugs... ready to rock and roll all over again.
First video I've seen on this channel. Fantastic. I love the detail. Showing the accuracy and precision the builders created should increase the interest in the sport. Using real science and the metal shaping skills to make your ideas come alive has got to be fulfilling. It sure is impressive.
Interesting that the inside of that single carb manifold was a rather ruff casting to help emulsify the incoming fuel. I wonder what would happen with EFI. David Vizard talks a lot about the Beehive valve springs. That was another surprise. Great Show and editing!!!
The dyno operator is a friend and we worked together and drag raced together going back to the 1970's. Many drag racing engine guys ended up in NASCAR country
Great video! So much knowledge in 1 motor. I bet there's 150+ years in experience in each one of these motors. That's amazing! Plus it would be nice to smoke some big blocks in the mud pit with a "little" small block 😉
That's just the evolution of technology and competition in motorsport. I think it's good as long as manufacturers and teams are invested in the competition. There are GT series that homogulate street legal cars which I think fills that niche.
@@bman6198 Horsepoop. Late nights every once in a while old racing shows can be found. I saw one a few months ago, the Talladega 500 from 1974 the fast cars were coming out of the curves at 200 and in the straights could do near 240. If you changed the tires, added windshield wipers and put mufflers on the cars you could have run it on the street. Today's things that run in circles are creations of a corporation, which due to cost, you only have a very few other corporations with the money to field one of those things. Back in the day, if your rig was fast enough to qualify, you were in the field. The things that run in circles today are far slower than the past, and there is no real competition, except in the pits for time-savings. Pretty much a race is won by luck and how quick your pit crew is, not by how well a car is built.
No way with that much valve overlap. It's a gross polluter by any measure, except maybe at or over peak torque. It's efficient for sure in it's operating range, but don't confuse bsfc with clean tailpipe emissions. NOT the same thing.
@@MrLadysman333 Seriously. The term 'gross polluter' has taken on a completely exaggerated definition today. A whole fleet of these things wouldnt make a dent in any environment.
These engines are built like a Swiss Watch , the heads are truly a brilliant piece of engineering , I wonder what the Bonneville boys think about these engines
Hey thanks! Have you seen my video on Keith Dorton taking an SB2 from Hendrick Motorsports and converting it to a V6 to go land speed racing? ua-cam.com/video/BsZ5FTtcHyg/v-deo.html I do want to do a good high-power SB2 build for street/strip use someday, but that's the best I've got right now. Thanks for watching!

Now I gotta start looking into some suspension stuff and a couple of chassis mods...maybe a cage... upper and lower A- arms...springs... shocks...rear- end....

boring...put this motor in a lightweight car with a huge gear and a liberty 5 speed and have extreme fun
@@Edwar3505 a blower might be good ticket for low end torque
@@xozindustries7451 Who needs torque?!? put a huge gear in it and rev it to 9500
Badass motor. You should get ahold of Dugans Racing Engines in Riverside, CA. They are building 555" motors that are 1100hp designed to go 1000 miles offroad in Trophy Trucks. Similar builders are Kroyer Racing Engines in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Honestly after watching an awesome video about this legendary engine I think the R07 is my favorite engine. I mean a naturally aspirated,carbed,small block Chevy making 955HP is unbeatable to me (except maybe a cammed and stroked out LS3 or LS7). Honestly I would choose this engine over anything else everytime except for LS's. Awesome video my man.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
This engine will urinate all over any LS. They aren’t even in the same universe.
It's the first time ever I've heard about rod bearing speed and camshaft twist, that's just insane amounts of details
Having watched the clip on the Ford Nascar engine very different. 2.650 the same as a Clevo which were always considered to be too high in crank speed. People in the past modded them down to Chev size. 2.498.
Crankshaft and piston speed have always been an issue. And camshaft twist happens with very high rpm engines. 410 Sprinters have a problem driving everything off the front and rear of the cam and break cams. And they 'only' turn 8500!
What a great series of programs, one exciting and varied engine build after another! You knocked it out of the ballpark on every one!
Thanks a lot!
Who else wishes they would make a vintage nascar series running the late 80's early 90's cars with conventional small blocks?
I'd love to get one of these engines brought to the UK. Incredible sound
Nonsense! That’s no engine!! That’s artwork!!! Beautiful labor of love. Who says men are insensitive.
I literally had difficulty breathing watching this video. This engine is true artistry.
My brain is screaming out for rowdy 750hp autocross/road race/road driver musclecar build..Amazing....
Did anybody else notice how easily he slid those pistons in? Noice!
Yeah. The rings were pefect. It spun like butter.
They put standard pistons in a .050 over bore. Lol
Good observation Modern engines generally have very low tension rings.
I noticed at one point when turning the engine block over on the stand that the weight of the big ratchet on the crank rotated the crank as the block was turning over after they had shown piston installation
Special coatings
Best part about this post was the fact NASCAR engine builder PME was planning to offer actual engine components and build anyone, a crate engine basically with the knowledge and tech of a nascar engine that’s truly engineered to withstand 20k miles durability testing, not single races. Yet some of these pond jumpers want to compare the thousands of engines built over decades to some exotic one off, no average person can afford super car, that requires $100k services every 5k miles, no thanks!
My only fear is the oil belt here! Awesome stuff from Pro Motor, American Muscle like No other.
I’m just here to learn some old school tricks from old school pros, This thing is a beast.
Amazing build.... can run this engine hard all day long and not worry about busting anything. Bring it home, change oil and plugs... ready to rock and roll all over again.
First video I've seen on this channel. Fantastic. I love the detail. Showing the accuracy and precision the builders created should increase the interest in the sport. Using real science and the metal shaping skills to make your ideas come alive has got to be fulfilling. It sure is impressive.
Thank you very much!
Remarkable piece. The similarities and differences compared to the Ford Trophy Truck build are fascinating.
I wonder how much the 750hp setup would cost. I love the NASCAR technology being put into it! Just makes it seem so much more reliable
Probably more than you can afford.
Just get coyote.
Beautiful! Can’t wait to get one! Building a road race car - street car. Want something that revs!!!
Interesting that the inside of that single carb manifold was a rather ruff casting to help emulsify the incoming fuel. I wonder what would happen with EFI. David Vizard talks a lot about the Beehive valve springs. That was another surprise. Great Show and editing!!!
Thanks! And thanks for watching
Rough surface finish has been proven to flow better in these applications, with some porting gurus actually dimpling the surface on purpose.
Dimpling does nothing but detach the air.
Smooth surfaces are bad as the air sticks to them.
@@shanerorko8076 so dimpling is good then as the air flows better and does not drag on the runners/intake path
@@aeroflopper That is correct. It also aids in keeping the fuel droplets from puddling in corners or low pressure areas.
The dyno operator is a friend and we worked together and drag raced together going back to the 1970's. Many drag racing engine guys ended up in NASCAR country
very cool. love the inside look at big time competition engines.
Mind blowing detail on this engine! Impressed by the simple cog belt crank to cam drive and the valve train in general.
Great video! So much knowledge in 1 motor. I bet there's 150+ years in experience in each one of these motors. That's amazing! Plus it would be nice to smoke some big blocks in the mud pit with a "little" small block 😉
This must have been 2years ago. The masks never worked then or now. Great video tho.
The way he spun that crank....LOW tension rings son. YES
Too bad NASCAR changed from racing cars that were actually a car anyone could buy at a dealership then modifying them for racing.
There's nothing stock about a stock car
That's just the evolution of technology and competition in motorsport. I think it's good as long as manufacturers and teams are invested in the competition.
There are GT series that homogulate street legal cars which I think fills that niche.
@@bman6198 Horsepoop. Late nights every once in a while old racing shows can be found. I saw one a few months ago, the Talladega 500 from 1974 the fast cars were coming out of the curves at 200 and in the straights could do near 240. If you changed the tires, added windshield wipers and put mufflers on the cars you could have run it on the street. Today's things that run in circles are creations of a corporation, which due to cost, you only have a very few other corporations with the money to field one of those things. Back in the day, if your rig was fast enough to qualify, you were in the field. The things that run in circles today are far slower than the past, and there is no real competition, except in the pits for time-savings. Pretty much a race is won by luck and how quick your pit crew is, not by how well a car is built.
@@jeanettewest Interesting, I'll have to check out that footage. I don't know a ton about stock cars(Mostly watch Indy, F1, WEC and IMSA).
I may not have been around when they raced real cars. But these aren’t real cars.
The engine sounds so smooth in all RPM's on the Dino, with that cam I can understand why, a complete work of art.
Craig Connors Dyno!
Excellent narration. Thank you for such an awesome video!
Hey thanks! It's always great to get positive feedback. And thanks for watching!
True.... Very good narration and awesome build.
BEAUTIFUL!!! I NEED "TWO"!! RIGHT NOW!!
I'm gonna need the full send version asap
send me your motor now then

Wow! That engine sounds so good. No valve noise and crystal smooth.
Somewhere a tree hugger is apoplectic.
The irony is that this engine probably runs cleaner and more efficient than most factory engines.
No way with that much valve overlap. It's a gross polluter by any measure, except maybe at or over peak torque. It's efficient for sure in it's operating range, but don't confuse bsfc with clean tailpipe emissions. NOT the same thing.
No catalytic converter, carburetor, huge cam. leaded fuel.... no, buddy, that thing pollutes like a Chinese factory.
@@PistonAvatarGuy who cares fire up them engines
@@MrLadysman333 Seriously.
The term 'gross polluter' has taken on a completely exaggerated definition today.
A whole fleet of these things wouldnt make a dent in any environment.
These engines are built like a Swiss Watch , the heads are truly a brilliant piece of engineering , I wonder what the Bonneville boys think about these engines
Great Video! Love the R07!
Thanks!
That’s a great video, rare to see so much detail in this ‘content’ obsessed world, thanks for taking the time putting this together
Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for watching!
"Used" parts or not (except for the crank), that's gotta be a $50k motor.
says it's $30k on Google.
@@c.albrow9161 That actually sounds reasonable, given the exotic parts, and machining involved.
@@c.albrow9161 that's too cheap
@@freethinkingamerican80 tell that to Google.
30k is no slouch either
Going after the bigger build gonna put the same motor with dominators in my 1965 Chevy 2 hope we get 1000 hp🤑Tommy Fredericksburg Virginia
This was an excellent episode. I love race car technology.
Thanks!
Beautiful piece of mechanical art..
Almost a 1000hp art, amazing!
Excellent informative video, great work
One of my favorite engine channels! Haven't seen a video with a ro7 yet. Can yall do a vid of the SB2?
Hey thanks! Have you seen my video on Keith Dorton taking an SB2 from Hendrick Motorsports and converting it to a V6 to go land speed racing? ua-cam.com/video/BsZ5FTtcHyg/v-deo.html I do want to do a good high-power SB2 build for street/strip use someday, but that's the best I've got right now. Thanks for watching!
@@TheHorsepowerMonster yes iv seen that video of the sb2 six . all your videos are dope !! Thanks for the content!
I always loved the SB2 and now that this monster might be coming available I would love more info on when they will be released! You’ve definitely got my attention!
That thing is bonkers. I want it.
Incredible power from such a small NA v8 engine thanks for the detailed video of the build process.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
That’s one Badass motor right there 💪🏼🏁
My god!!! Once that thing creeps up past like 7500, it starts to sound REALLY good!!! 🥰
This is awesome! Why cant everything be this good? 🙂
$$$$$$$$$$$$.
That engine sounds absolutely ridiculous. 8800rpm!!!! That sounds so beautiful.
That engine probably cost more than my house! wow.
F1 are testing now think Electric cars coming to NASCAR ?? Let" s put engines on sale. say it"s not so.
Comment: Holy smokes... Version: Street for my V-8 swapped S-10. Now I gotta start looking into some suspension stuff and a couple of chassis mods...maybe a cage... upper and lower A- arms...springs... shocks...rear- end.... Look what y'all went and done, now I gotta start modifying the whole thing just for a stinking motor! But damn it'll be worth it!!! Just Badass....
Such and awesome episode!
Thanks! I'm really enjoying the support from the gearhead community on UA-cam and hope to be bringing a lot more cool engine builds. Thanks for watching!
Unbelievable that engine is definitely not suited for the street but for the race track but for the diehard hot rod I could see someone run something like that on the street maybe trailered then up and down the street a couple times maybe but all in all that things are monster thank you for this video unbelievable engines either way you go incredible horsepower. From San Diego California
I like to put that in my Chevrolet 3500
It will be cool in there
I would love to put one in my 1972 PETERBILT.
@@cavemanballistics6338 Hello
How you doing?
Thanks Great video Unbelievable what is out there and now available to the public Keep up the great work and advances in technology you are achieving
I literally have tears in my eyes. I am so excited.
The most exquisitely engineered pushrod V8 I have ever had the pleasure to see inside. No detail is too small or left to chance. Personally, the 750 HP "pump gas" version would be my choice. WHY we love V8's👍
