I’ve been an aerospace machinist for over 10 years and you guys are TOP NOTCH! It’s easy to see y’all take pride in your work and enjoy it as well, the amount of attention to detail is awesome! Very happy to see small businesses stay true to their roots and not just pump mediocre workmanship out the door!
Make it better than factory. It’s fun to see a W motor see the light of day again
Fun to see the old stuff being made better then new so it can last for another 50 years
You failed to mention..."We ain't scared of 💩 !!"
60's big block 409 W !?!!! Mind blown. If a mistake was made and a head was ruined...there ain't no replacement readily available! You two are the best at what you do, every video impresses me . Keep it up guys!
Uh, there is replacement aluminium heads from Edelbrock, kind of a long wait period though.
Just amazing to even find one of these old 409 engines.
That 409 would make one supper jet boat engine.
I used a Chevrolet 402 BB for my jet boat engine and what a beast it is plus my fishing clients get a Hugh thrill riding in the jet boat with an engine capable of 500 hp
You guys are living the dream!!! Dad is so special as a father, and son loves him with respect and awe without pandering or fawning. Props!!! Youhave it all! Whenn I was 16, went for a power ride in a 62 biscaine with 409, 4 speed, cam, and a dominator 3 barrel holley. It was so fast that time stopped! I remember the thrill of that speed still today. Later the driver was killed in that car street racing a 63 corvette. So powerful, fast, nearly unstoppable with drum brakes. I cried to have lost A legend
Nice! Working the old iron. I appreciate the effort to reuse the original parts. Watching you two work and hearing about the thought process and how you approach your craft is enjoyable.
Now I have that Beach Boys song stuck in my head.
Always interesting content. Love the series videos. The old tractor motor rebuilds in particular.
Those old "W" motors are just neat to look at!
As a hobby machinist and mechanic, what I enjoy about your channel is both you and your Dad's attention to detail and accuracy to the tenths of a thousandth. The squeaky clean shop is another thing that's appreciated. When I watch a UA-cam channel for the first time and the mechanic or machinist does sloppy, half assed work, I'm out. If their shop is a total filthy, unorganized mess, I'm also out!
Thanks for posting these videos of machine work being done correctly.
I worked in a small engine rebuilding shop in the early 70's. I saw a lot of different engines go through the shop but never a "W" engine. I had a friend who had a 348 but he never could explain where the "W" came from. One look at the combustion chamber of the head I now get it. We had some very basic machines back then but still got some good results. What a dream it would have been to have all the modern equipment you have!
It’s amazing that any part of an engine survives decades of freezing to boiling temps and being subjected to billions of explosions.
Mental.
The tolerances you guys hold are absolutely insane. Well done.
I like ur shop and it's setup. That 409 requires an old school mechanic. I guess that's where ur dad's wisdom comes in. Yessir. 😃👍
Reminds me of my first engine rebuild in about 1975. Took a 225 slant six out of a Dodge A108, and a local machine shop worked it over. They let me in the shop to see the work in progress. Can still smell the cutting oil.
Thanks for taking the time to film this process on an engine type I will never see here in Ireland
I really enjoy your content.
skilled workers are a dying breed sadly.
Glad you enjoyed!
I totally agree with you! It is also great seeing a father and son working close together in achieving a successful business! Keep up the great work!
Check out Horsepower Monster for a semi-modern build of a 409.
It great to see restoration videos and know that these older engines are going back into service hopefully for 50 more years 👍. Take care stay safe and may God bless you always 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Bloody brilliant! Love seeing this work done by real professionals.
Beautiful work.
As always!
Your work looks impeccable…thank you for the share. It’s refreshing to watch a professional at work with no fluff-n-stuff.
Love seeing truck engines of the past saved too.👍
Once again, your video, script, content, and attention to detail are all second to none. Great work
Awesome seeing these old things kept around. Amazing how the head and chamber were so differently set up.
@jackfrost1031
Yes it is!
It’s been a while since I’ve seen heads that the valve chambers were set offline like these were!!!!
It’s also amazing how the block is set up with a portion of the combustion chamber set into the block as opposed to it being contained totally in the heads themselves!
you guys make this stuff look fun, Nice looking heads!
I got to do all of the machine work on the first engine I ever built at a VW/Porsche specialist shop in Maryland when I was 18. That was 35 years ago and I can't believe that shop is still there under the same name which also should tell everyone something. A boss like I had is so rare but I see it in both you and your pops and why your name will be on that building in 35 years. My goodness time seems to accelerate the older I get.
Awesome to see the process of the things that you guys do. This gives me hope that my own cilinderhead will be able to be repaired instead of having to search for another one. Keep it up!
Always enjoy y'all having a great working relationship
I do really enjoy watching your work, thank you for your excellent videos. They're fantastically well shot, cut, and edited
It’s good to see you following in your dad’s footsteps. Quality automotive machine shops aren’t as prevalent as they were back in the 1980s. Thankfully there’s still one quality shop here in the Cincinnati area.
Thanks for being professional.
I know nothing about machining but you explain everything very well. I enjoy watching your great craftsmanship
Nice to see a good, through and accurate machining video. I started in a Engine Machine Shop in 1985 and ABSOLUTELY Love Engine Work and Race Engines. I am looking to get back to my first love one day soon. Keep up the Great Work Guys!
I worked at an automotive machine shop back in the 1970’s. My jobs were boring and honing blocks and engine assembly. My tools were a boring bar and big electric hand drill with an inexpensive hone. I look back now and realize that the only real precision in that shop was Burt. Burt was our crankshaft guy and he was amazing. This was a large shop in Southern California and we thought we were the 💩. 😂 Love your videos! Say hi to the cleaning guy for me. 😎✌🏼
Just fascinates me the amount of work and precision measuring that goes in to the machine work. I was a Ford tech for years and never did any real machine work. Love your videos. Very cool to see a father/son duo making it happen.
Nice work - always a pleasure to see how you two do such a fantastic and thorough job. Would definitely love a full build on a 409, though a 348 would be fine as well. These are such weird engines that a full and in-depth build would be a wonderful series
Whoa! Rare as hen's teeth now!!! Wish I had the 3 trucks from the family business when I was a kid with this powerplant!! Love it.
You make it look so easy. There is no room for error. Thanks for sharing
My dad always said the 409 was an extremely hard motor to cam because of the chamber design and never reacted the same as a typical chamber. He raced a 409 in a 62 Belair for years on the east coast. Love your channel
You 2 do nice work. My first car was a bubble top impala with a 409. I bought the used 1967. 1 year later it was totaled, hit from behind while parked. Sold the motor and transmission for $300.00.
You guys are gold. Love to see the quality work you guys do and love that it's a Father / Son operation. Thank you so much for the videos, I enjoy all of them!
I like to know what's possible with old engines, and what is not. Great insight.
I have a 79 ford with the 400 and I would absolutely love to watch you guys open up and clean a set of 400 heads for better flow!
This just reminds me of how my dad almost had some one-of-a-kind early production Pontiac heads (two of a kind?) completely ruined by a bad machine shop that used improper valve seats with the head. Luckily they were just salvageable and a different machine shop was able to get them back to working condition. It's nice to see a machine shop doing things right.
5 decades and I've only saw one other Chevy 409 truck engine in my entire life. A local farmer had one in a grain truck.
I would definitely love to see a full W block build from you guys. I have a couple 348s myself and just want to see what all goes into the machining side of them, since the angles of the cylinders are different then say a small block Chevy. Awesome video guys, can't wait to see more.
I could watch and learn 24/7 from these guys!
Love you and your dad.
Had a 1963 Chev SS 409, very nice car! Glad you Lads are reviving a fine old Engine!
I'm a computer engineer who is now a the 3rd generation of engine rebuilding machine shop family business getting his hands dirty :D . I really enjoy watching your videos here & on IG. Thank you for your content and there's always something new to learn. cheers!
Excellent video, commentary, and craftsmanship! It is very nice to see that some competent and experienced machine shops are still in existence!
Very fortunate that the entire valve train could be reused. Thanks for sharing 👍
Owned a 1963 SS Impala 409 back in the day. great car!
great video. built a 409 years ago in 63 impala. loved that motor
Appreciate the video. Have a blessed Sunday
Wonderful craftmanship, with a beautiful and amazing finish.
This is awesome!! I had just commented on TikTok I wished y’all had a W motor to machine! I have a couple 348’s, wished I lived closer so I could have you do them!
impressed with the accuracy and workmanship.
That is one heck of an engine that didn't get a fair shake from the auto enthusiast. With the right valve train, cam and lifter configuration that motor will kick some serious ass. Keep on smiling.
notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
I'd love to see a full 409cid build...!!! "She's so fine my 409"...! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...
I love those 409 engines of the past. Great work again guys. As usual. Keep up the videos. I enjoy the work you do. Being a mechanic for a gm dealership, I’ve always wished I could expand my work trade into the type of machinist work you guys produce
Ran those exact same kind of machines for years and you did it the same as me. Thanks for the video!
That was amazing how good those heads turned out great job.
We had a 409 in a grain truck when I was a kid. 500 bushel box, twin screw axles, the thing was a beast back then. Helluva motor.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Really enjoy the real world work. Contrary to the "if it's even close to out of spec scrap it" I enjoy seeing the fixing something that's far from perfect, even if it leaves close enough to work and get whatever going again.
Top notch machine work done on some old classic cyl heads!
beautiful work, u can tell this is more than just plain old skill. well done
I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to post them 😎
Man I love watching y’all work!
Well Done !
That was great! The heads just look so new.
That's cool... My tech teacher called them 409 Rock crusher... 👍👍
Cool to see a different part of our hobby.
Good video, I had a 409 I ran in the 70's. I've had small blocks and big blocks that outperformed the 409 but nothing looks as cool.
Incredible tolerances and Filming! Very enjoyable 👍thank you!
I’m not into cars like I was when I was young but you guys are artists. Wish you would have worked on my pontiacs back in the day
That is one strange head and engine design 👍
Your shop is my dream. I was hoping one day i can own a shop like this
482ci built a few of those in my day, then the LS came out
You guys do first class work 👍
Full props to you!
Please keep your business open and your wisdom alive for as long as possible.
It would be a privilege to spend some time in the shop with you✅
Wow, super craftsmanship from you guys! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wish i could get a head job at Jim's shop 😊. All jokes aside, i think I've learned more from watching your channel than at my local JC's machine shop classes... Rock on
Excellent, thank so much for the video, I have been around automotive machine work since I was little, the family business is automotive machine shops. Be blessed.
Better than new. Incredible work
This is so satisfying to watch. And super enfornal
Man your shop does top notch work. Next time I build a engine will send the machine work to you guys.
Beautiful work on those heads
Love these videos!
Great viewing, they built stuff to last back in the day!.
Machinists
Mechanics
Engineers
Make the world go around !
That was awesome.
well there ya go , 409 truck engine , even rarer than the 409 car engine ! I ran a 348 in a tow truck a 1951 that originally came
with a straight 6 . I retrofitted that 348 in that Chevy tow truck custom , the truck had a 525 Holmes wrecker on it from new
however , that straight 6 would have you crawling up hills !!
after that 348 install , I was pulling heavy loads & gaining on the hills like crazy !!!!
348 & 409 's were really something else , and looked a lot " COOLER " under the hood then a 396 / 427 !!!!!
THOSE WERE THE DAYS !!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS , 2 THUMBS UP !!!! THE MACK GUY
Excellent video, my youngest Son and I are in the process building a retro mod jeepster. We want and are looking for a 5.7 or 6.0LS. It is nearly impossible to figure out who to trust to do quality affordable engine machining work here in Southern California. I wish we lived close to you. Thank you for the excellent video.
Wow great job 👍
First displacement number I learned as a kid ... thanks to The Beach Boys. Sadly, those scalloped heads were a major reliability issue and truly believe the simple addition of the valve guide caps will overcome the insufficient lube issus ... you guys are brilliant !!! From what I've read, the 409's are more prized than ever (get a "K11" Impala with a 409 and get ready to folk over about $350k !!!). 360hp for the day was amazing ... I live in the Riviera and have a C6 Z06 LS7 and of all the vehicles I've owned in my Life around the World (Aerospace Engineer), this is the most fun I've ever had with my cloths on ... LOL Frightening speed/quickness and "Stock" ... 333 kph on the Autobahn and 0-100 kph in a little over 3 seconds. This Texan has never been beaten on the street by any of the equivalent makes ... none.
Anyway, thanks for the Vid ... took me back down memory lane
You guys do awesome work. I worked for a automotive shop and did all this work when I was younger. It was satisfying work that I miss today
It was great to see a classic pair of heads redone. Great job guys.
True craftsmanship there. Keeping those great motors running. A pleasure to watch your videos.
Great to see the content, and projects, keep it comming, God bless
