For The Original BigFoot Engine Build Part 3, tune in to HISTORY this Sunday (May 19th) at 7AM ET/PT!
I used to watch every episode on Spike tv. Then in January, Power Nation disappeared and was replaced with back to back episodes of Bar Rescue😳
WTF?
benoit8850 It’s on HISTORY Sunday mornings between 7-9AM ET/PT
waiting for ep3 coming up on this channel
hmm. i think i would prefer to just watch it on youtube for free.
what did mr chandler think of the kaases messing around with his motor? how about the displacement shrinking?
I understood 1% of this video and enjoyed 100%.
Bigfoot is 2+ years older than me and I understood it all.... it's just Math and knowing that an engine is just a big air chamber.
Whelp, looks like we hooked ourselves another one boys. Welcome aboard to hotrodding, prepare to never have money in your bank account again, smell nothing but pb blaster every 3 days, and an unusual increase of potato olés in your weekly diet.
Same hahahaha I've never even so much as taken off a valve cover and I'm addicted to these engine building videos
I understood 100% and enjoyed 1%
@@johnwilburn dang congrats man your brain is actually so gigantic 👏👏👏
That used to be my shirt, but I sold it to this guy because it couldnt hold enough pens
That is a classic!!
I like to carry at least 10 pens if possible, you can get excellent pens from Pen Island
Not usually my kinda thing, but I really love the way these guys are explaining things. Very well laid out. Even though I have absolutely no use for this information. lol
I'm assuming all the dislikes are the peoples heads that exploded when the pulled out the micrometers and math! These are the shows i would much rather watch than any show that's on prime time tv now a days.
as a machinist that uses them everyday 20 years experience, i dont care for the way he uses them. it will get him by but not accurate
@@dasbronco Probably some of it is for the show.
@@skittlecar1 yeah i agree. but the man is really smart and i do have respect for him
I loved the measuring, but my head nearly exploded when they dumped 66 cubic inches and a lot of originality from what is effectively a parade engine.
You think that UA-cam is the platform for this kind of scripted "show"?
I love building engines, always been fascinated with machining and the technical side of things in general. Great video guys!
It's really cool to see how exact everything was made back in the 80's before computers and such.
It's made exactly the same now, unless it's on a factory assembly line. And shit, back in the day we hardly measured anything, just checked bores and crank journals.
News Flash.... there were computers in the 80's.... and the 70's.
@@paperkiller25 Do you really not get was I was trying to say? Geez you sound like my dumbass ex-girlfriend.
@@samscharp3367 Yup great point. To blow your mind even more, think of how they built the SR71-A Blackbird back in the early 60's with even less technology
Great piece of automotive history. Incredable how well it was built for the early 80’s. You took it to the right place for machining also. John kasse is a ford genius
What an honor to rebuild the legendary Bigfoot original engine awesome stuff
This show reminds me of the good times back in the late-90s and early 2000s of what they used to be. Just straight trash now.
Stacey Davids was a good one.
I'm 42 years old and back then in my 20's I was knee deep into my musclecar phase, early 2ng gen fbidies, and you are right, it was awesome turning on tnn and watching the muscle car shows on sat/sun.
@@A_Man_In_His_Van I hear you there, I'm actually only 20! but I am Knee-deep in all of that. Every bit of my Clothing, Vehicles etc are all of the past time. Haha. A Sole 20 yr old who's should be living in the 60 & 70s! Haha.
TNN on Saturdays and Sundays.
I agree, I use to wake up every Sunday morning in my early teens and watch Power Block TV, there were 4 or 5 shows that would play back to back every weekend. Trucks with Stacey David was my favorite. Project Copper Head and Project Crazy Horse where the two vehicles that sparked my love for automobiles and mechanics. Eventually I started turning wrenches with my uncle (RIP) on his old dirt track race car back 15 years ago which also led my career of turning wrenches and building engines. Almost 15 years now later and my passion is still alive and well.
Stacy davids gears is on youtube they have a couple of the trucks, like copperhead and sgt rock
Cool stuff! Nice to see Kaase getting involved. Not too many people know big Fords like him!
As a little boy my dad took me to a event and at it this very trucks first public appearance man what a great memory RIP Dad long live Bigfoot what a legend in almost every little boys childhood
Kaase and crew are the best. John is one of the most down to earth guys and he will go the extra mile to help people understand what their needs are with engine design.
that valve job is pure art
Damn there's a surprising amount of good tech info for engine building in this episode! Great job PowerNation on quality content!
Considering that the truck is retired from competition, I wish they hadn't changed the displacement. It was a 638 and they took it all the way down to a 572. The obscene "640" was a calling card of Bigfoot's. Now it's a 572, albeit with an unusual, "undersquare" bore/stroke combination. They took some of the engine's uniqueness away.
John Wilburn its still the same engine as before, and it could easily be converted back to that displacement with some thin bores and larger pistons. But, Considering this truck is going to be put away forever in a museum, id imagine they’d want the original engine to survive rather than potentially getting destroyed if something went wrong on the final tour.
Yeah that just didn't sit well with me put it back to what it was
Thank you for such a great documentary! So cool to see the processes!
@@adelinogama9277 I heard that the engine didn’t work and promptly came out of the truck and is back on display. I wish they had left it alone instead of letting Power Nation screw with it.
It was nice to see that someone besides me can install Tungsten properly, without having to weld the slugs in place.
I grew up over by Lindbergh in north west St. Louis back in the 70's and I was able to sit in the original Big Foot I thought that was the coolest thing ever.
Wow such a good video to watch I remember Bigfoot when I was a kid. Absolutely love this content. Much love from Victoria Australia mates
Jon Kaase! Who else could it ever be! That's history right there.
These guys are old school genius talent
Those HEMI heads look weird with a blue oval on them lol.. 👍. Gotta have those heads to be the best 👌. 50 years and still the best heads money can buy 😉. Thanks for sharing 👍
@deadboy600 Lol.. your totally wrong pal .. Do you even know we're the first Ford engine came from ... Two brother's with the sir name Dodge supplied the drive train for all the early Fords before a deal was handed over to Ford , Google it , it's free 😉. Also let's see Ford or anyone else for that matter use the terminology HEMI for there head design with out getting there ass suede, why ... because of a so called pattern laws proving that in a court of law Chrysler, Dodge developed and own the best combustion head design ever made .. The HEMI .
What a piece of history 👍👍
This is the most American thing I've ever seen! Inches, frame rails, big blocks, it's all decades out of date!
This video is awesome, I live in the same town as Kasse, guess its time to drive the ford over and make some friends.
Man all that LS stuff is outrageously priced. I got a gen VI 1998 454 for 700$ with proven sheet 28,000 miles runs like a champ took off the EFI and put on a duel plane intake running a carb on it
It's funny to see the way they machine it, lol. I wouldn't set a bore gauge with a mic. But I guess they probably have 0.002" tolerance. I guess you could if you check the mic with gauge blocks. I prefer to just use a master ring
I can't stop looking at all his pens in his pocket
I love the techniques used to rebuild the block and head. Pure knowledge and experience.
This show is so much better than the “reality” based garbage that has been presented in the last 15 years or so. Real technical info, real facts, real mechanics instead of actors (yes I realize a lot of work is done behind the scenes by other techs but these guys do know what they’re talking about). No larger than life actors coming off as country bumpkin and stupid storylines. Could you Imagine the outlaw racing show with actual outlaw racing? Real people with real cars that they actually built without the drama. Remember “Pinks”? The beginning of the end.
I only knew about Chrysler Hemi 426 race engines back in the late 80's until I saw a 69 Mustang with the 429 Super Cobra Jet engine with a blower on it at Thompson Dragway in Thompson Ohio
Too bad it's getting all these improvements and going into permanent storage
Its a piece of history. Its done its competition days.
There are other monster trucks in comp just as amazing.
Robert Harris no doubt. This is being done simply for this video. Which is cool. Valuable and excellent tutorial
But it will just sit there in a rich guys shop.
@@woodywoodlstein9519 The alternative is to keep running it until its dead, so why do that?
Tater Ater to entertainment crowds. Which is why it was built in the first place.
@@woodywoodlstein9519 It's got more sentimental value than practical value at this point, the old guy cares about the truck and the engine, the new guys care more about performance and have no ties to the engine
The reason all these old muscle car performance engines are still on the road is because people baby them, otherwise they'd be long gone and scrapped by now
Well dang I guess I'm gonna have to subscribe to get a heads ups on part 3, I'm too invested in this build now haha.
Dane Glick they already uploaded the episode of the engine installed and running, oddly enough before the engine build videos.
This is INCREDIBLE! Keep it up, make merch!
God damn dude do you have enough pencils in your shirt pocket😂
I’m not a mechanic, but this makes me wanna be one.
Thank you for such a great documentary! So cool to see the processes!
Gorgeous. It's a phenomenal engine. I'm awestruck.
im from mexico I love american car culture !
Same here - but from germany
@@jimmyeatworld1981 Guanajuato friend 👌
@@Chris-yy7qc very rare. Usually Germans don't understand why and how american cars are
@@GeorgiGeorgiev-ne9ps Youre right, but there are some car guys/petrol heads in germany, too. :-)
Unfortunately, it is virtually forbidden by law to modify your car in germany. Only very small/few changes are allowed. Every complex modifcation requires lots of paperwork and a shit ton of money even for small things.
In addition most of old german cars are crap. Made from tin cans (rustholes everywhere) and theyre rather slow. Because youre not allowed to make them faster, not a lot of people want to drive them.
So sadly we dont really have a car culture here.
@@Chris-yy7qc i have urs6 and audi cabrio. They are great but people never buy them because too small and fast isnt liked it at the most cases. But in Eu this isnt what people want - to look angry and "technological" cars. US cars are totally in a different nische.
Do love watching a good engine build
This makes me wanna rebuild the 460 sitting in my carport ASAP ⚙️
Love the craftsmanship on this donk 👌. Would of loved to open up something like that 😉, very cool .. 👍
Truly awesome, ive been a ford person since i was a kid and still am. All the legends drive fords.
So cool. I’m in school learning about this... I actually understand what’s going on!
Bigfoot is the reason I love 80s style 4x4s.
The lifted street trucks nowadays got *nothing* on those old rigs.
I understood none of this video but enjoyed it to the fullest because the years of covid lockdown has reignited my childhood addiction of monster trucks and that's the only thing i can thank this terrible virus for
I watched the original Bigfoot running over cars in 1985.
Seems old hat now, back then, it was amazing for a 13 year old. Not broadcast on TV. So, see it live.
Excellent excellent tutorial
That is one sweet engine stand
I went to college for this cnc was a mistake hard to find work doing it. But it was fun to make stuff.
lol, if you're skilled with experience it's easy to get a job. I've been at it 20 years and seen many people that bought a certificate that weren't machinists. You can tell who will make it and who won't
@@highstreetkillers4377 experience is they key word most what someone with 4 or more year and most make jet engines parts around here.
+ I band still build my coding with AutoCAD from any blue print :P
I did cnc well worth it.
put winder on the map haha. my hometown
I liked seeing the Chevy trucks in the Kaase parking lot.
My family has been mechanics for years I’d be a grunt for as long as it took to work with some guys like this love engines just don’t know nearly as much as id like.
the smaller sleeves brought this down a bit more than a few cubic inches. with the smaller bore it went from 640ci to 572ci
That is like a whole city car engine
Dang, that's significant. I thought they'd bore it to at least 4.50. I suppose it's just a demonstration engine now, but it's likely making over 100 hp less than before.
Would’ve already been down due to blow by.
They said the cylinders were out of round which wouldn’t allow proper ring seating and sealing.
Atleast that’s what I understood.
If that is the case she might have actually broke even due to being fresh.
But from origin build to now I’m sure she’s down a little.
Well this rebuild was intended for last longer not for maximum power
Cries with daily driver of only 170 Ci...Its got 30 valves though.
good job fellas!
Someone get this man a bigger pocket he needs more pens!!!
Jon kaase racing = spoon sports (Honda tuning specialists) for Fords.
I hope this kind of work doesn't disappear.
What an honor.... 🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have goose bumps watching that beast being rebuilt!! And, it is mind blowing just how far things have come in 37 years!
For American engine technology? Not that far lol
@@addz17 What exactly do you mean? American engine technology has come a long way over the years. When it comes to driving across the USA, I rather have an American V8 over pretty much all of the Euro trash built these days. I worked on German automobiles for a while, and I am not impressed with their garbage, more so at the price point their garbage sells for here in the US. I trust my life to a GM LS V8 over engines built by Europeans.
Hey, I lived in Kaase's neighborhood growing up and went to school and played hockey with his son, cool!
Kaase is the man, if you have ever followed engine masters competition you will know that kaase's engines make ballistics horsepower , he built a 5.4l modular that made 650 ft-lb at 3500rpm for fucks sake NA that is. for people that dont know, Kaase is the john wick of engines.lol
MY FIRST TIME HERE. WELL DONE. AND ME BEING A CNC MACHINIST AND A DESIGNER ...VERY COOL
None of what was shown was cnc. Only 1 machine was cnc and it was a crappy one from early 80's
@@highstreetkillers4377 YEP I KNOW OLD SCHOOL REPAIR OUT SIDE OF HONING CYLINDERS. A NEW ONE IS ALL DONE CNC..CYLINDER BORES ARE DONE WITH CUTTERS NO GUESSING ...00015 + PRESS...FOR SLEEVES
That guy has more Pens in his shirt than staples carries in there store!
bet he got way more money in his other pocket, then you, because of those pens
@@MEQUPWER maybe.... Or he's broke from buying so many pens to support his obsessive habit😃.... the battle wounds on that engine block were crazy!
We're going to rebuild it....SOO we can drive it to the Smithsonian and put it on mothballs. 🤯🤐😭
consciouscool it's doing a country tour. By the time that ends the engine will already be worn out. These are not stock engines that last 100k miles....
This is really interesting I would like to learn how to do block and head machining even though I’m 13 years old but I love cars I helped my dad build a 440 big block to put in a 1966 Plymouth fury sedan
Ware in the hll are the next episodes? Looking all over 4 them
Great video. Great to see some proper precision engineering
You see Bob pop the engine on a video of him mowing the top of the hill down at the Gravelrama. Those are his initials.
How could you dislike this video I just don’t understand this video was awesome
What a great show all about Ford's and then you have to start talking about LS
Sponsorship's are what pays for this show. Did you pitch in any coin for watching this? no, you didn't.
Paul Giamatti sure does know a lot about engines
Ware r all the episodes?? It jumps to the final after this one
Big foot isn't the only one that likes his head massaged
Saw it. 6 please? I'm so juiced to seethe rest!!!
I would pay money for a full video and any stock footage of the machine shop repairing and building this motor.
Love this show
Should use a 12 cylinder. Barely any wall between cylinders on that block. Maybe weight would be an issue
Damn, I wish you guys had a Bitchute channel! I'd be watchin your videos on there BIGTIME since I left the COMMIE UA-cam just sayin. FREEDOM and MY 1st Amendment IS more important THAN watching stuff on youtube now FACT!
None better than Jon Kasse
Jon actually built an alchohol injected 572 hemi for Bigfoot 11 back in 1992. Amazing engine.
"Tool on the flywheel bolts were installed at some point and they self-clearanced on the back of this cap and block. The fix after these bolts were removed required helicoils to the crank."
Uh... Say what now?
Holy crap.. it only got more confusing. Backlash on the threads... Tension on the mic... Jounals... I thought you wrote in jounals, lol.
I wish I knew what the hell they're talking about but since I'm never gona know I'm just happy to watch them.
Nice!!
This truck can't just sit I hope to see it running around town
NICE VIDEO
Actually went into a lot of details and no stupid music edited in!
This is SO COOOL!!!
1000 reliable hp. Out of a 50 year old engine design. Wow
The repair on the engine block was stamped "RBC 9/86”. I doubt it, but could RBC stand for repaired by Chandler?
That engine builder guy does not seem at all impressed this is the Bigfoot engine
God I would kill to have an Allen Roots engine to put into my econoline van.
Why are you talking about an LS engine? Back to the Ford engine!
Yeah go back to talking Bigfoot and not some lame LS junk
They gotta sell parts to pay the bills. It's an ad for summit they have always had these type of show and tell ads for summit.
Because they know people dont build ford engines its like being married to a hooker, one day you think where is all my money going?
@Patrick Freeman except the one time modular engines were allowed to run with pushrod motors and clean swept the podium lmao
www.hotrod.com/articles/2013-amsoil-engine-masters-challenge-top-finishers/
Ls is absolutely inferior all things equal.
@Patrick Freeman ua-cam.com/video/hAYygiTYI_8/v-deo.html
No LS even close. Factory block and heads making 3000 hp
Wow these guys are good!
I did some research on two Big Foot engines. They were smaller for a road track.
This stuff is fascinating!
cool video
.0002" you'd be lucky to get those kind of numbers. That's funny to call that out of round... Brand new CNC mills are lucky to hold that number.
This should be a monster engine.
Wanna see it run
your mom that video is already on their channel
Why is all the damage a mystery? Like bob doesn’t remember blowing a rod through the side of the block?
Supernerds at thier finest..
