It's amazing how Nascar engines can go 500 miles at 8-9000rpm and last for the big burn out after they win the race. Love it nick keep up the great work and videos, God bless 🙏
Petty still goes to the races and so does his son .Great to see him still around and able to get around on his own .
Right on.
@@NicksGarage
King Richard the Great, his 1964 Plymouth with 426 Hemi power was unbeatable...
I met Richard, his wife and Kyle in Toronto in 1980. Thanks to my Dad r.i.p.
Richard Petty is my favorite NASCAR ICON... He is so down to Earth and has such an incredible history at what he is FAMEOUS for... A genuine Legend...
THANX! A tribute to your reputation this engine was brought in.
LOL !!! Shows a carb. and distributor are still FINE !!!
My Ad Blocker removed the censoring... will that get me killed?
@@BuzzLOLOL then...what was the HP???
It is amazing how clean it sounds in the higher rpm range. Seems like it does not just have a big cam, but also all the supporting mods are there to make the adequate flow. Beautiful!
True true true
I've seen several on Al's dyno at New Generation Engines in St Catherines. It's a "spec" engine that is mandated. Not to be confused with the "Cup, Xfinity and the Truck engines". They use fuel injection and several other proprietary internal components. The spec engine is de-tuned for the NASCAR Pinty's series and NASCAR LMSC series in the USA. Here's the specs for those that are dying to know. cheers🇨🇦 Thank you Nick.
The foundation of the NASCAR-Approved Spec Engine is a production GM LS2 block (6.0L / 4.000) with LS2 CNC ported heads. Fully assembled the 364 cubic inch engine weighs around 415 pounds and produces approximately 610hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque, with a Holley 750 cfm carburetor. The 390cfm Carburetor generates approximately 539 hp and 500ft-lbs of torque. All measured at 7000rpm. It’s components come from many of the best aftermarket companies including:
- Edelbrock manifold and fuel pump
- JE Pistons
- Lunati crank (3.622 stroke) and rods
- Comp Cams camshaft
- Holley carburetor
- Quartermaster clutch, starter and bellhousing
- MSD distributors
- Clevite bearings
- Cometic gaskets
- Kooks headers
etc…
The Spec Engine is not a “sealed” engine and NASCAR rules do allow teams to assemble, disassemble and rebuild the Spec Engine but no modifications to the components are allowed other than what is stated in the current rule books.
Alvars. Thanks for the info.
@@nickpanaritis4122 No Worries sir. I'm just an old American muscle/racing fanatic that also enjoys sharing, just like you sir. Thanks again cheers🇨🇦
Sounds like my slant six in my 71 Valiant!!😂😂😂😂
Or inline 4 turbo diesel in my old XJ. 😁
Yep😂😂😂those 225s Scream!!!
Sound? Your 426 Hemi "Keeper" sounds just as good! The numbers are what count! I've heard those NASCAR engines live around 9000 RPM, that bad boy had a ways to go!
Engine sounded stout and strong! Thank you Nick for sharing this with us! All the best to you and your crew. Spring is springing, the muscle cars have been out down here in Wisconsin. I love this time of year!
Great video Nick, I put a few 4.3 v6 Arca engines together one was a speedway and the other was short track >> sure loved that bumble bee sound they made . Our v6 ran 8000 rpm > rebuild at 1800 laps
Very cool!
I love my 4.3 hell ya. I like to get my hands on some of those parts.
Nick I saw Richard Petty at a High School football game and spoke to him a few weeks ago. He’s in his early 80’s and still gets around good and goes to Watch his grandson play sports. I saw him at a High School football 🏈 state championship playoff game. He was Wearing his iconic cowboy hat 🤠, rattlesnake hat band and sunglasses 😎. Pettys Grandson is the Starting High School Quarterback.
He was also the Team leader & had lead the team undefeated for the whole regular season.
They had 8 wins & 0 losses and finished 1st place in their conference as Conference Champions.
But in there non conference State championship playoffs game they was the Visiting Team at
Saint Paul NC .....
First Quarter of the game Richards grandson got tackled and hurt & suffered fractured Ankle. This took him out the rest of the game watching from the sidelines on crutches and ankle wrapped up. Since he was their star Senior player and Team leader his injury kinda made the team lose their confidence & they never recovered that confidence. They was ahead 6-0 when he got injured but they just couldn’t get it together after that & they lost 35-9. But they still finished as conference champs undefeated 8-0 in their conference.
But in this first state playoff single elimination game they finished 0-1, ending their 2020 playoff Season. Reason it was just ending their 2020 season now in 2021 is: Because of Covid all the Football games was postponed in the fall of 2020. So they played the 2020 season this spring 2021.
They will start the 2021 season back on normal football schedule this fall. Pettys grandson graduates this Month. I haven’t heard if he’s going to college for academics, Sports or whether he’ll be following in his Great Grandfathers, Grandfathers, & His Uncle Kyles footsteps and go into Some sort of Racing. I don’t know I haven’t heard anyone say.
But it’s really awesome to go to a High School football game and run into someone as iconic as The King Richard Petty of Nascar.
Cool 😎
You can tell Nick was ready to crank
up the throttle on that bad puppy!!
That sounds awesome, that would
make a sweet weekend grocery getter!!!!
A hot cup of coffee in the morning and the sound of a NASCAR engine on the dyno, I'm awake now!
Viewers, start your engines!
I think that is the sweetest sound I've ever heard ❤
Thanks Nick and crew.
Your enthusiasm is good for the soul. 🏁
Thanks for watching!
I've heard lots of "high performance engines run on dynos, and it may be that my NASCAR ears are fooling me, but that engine sounds uniquely different, somehow smoother. And smooth is power.
I was thinking that. From the sharp *crack* of the turnover, all through the idle, & then the full test, that bad boy never once rumbled - it just did low growly purr. Real, real pretty to my mind.
Hey Nick!...The LS2-based 364ci V8 is allowed as an alternative to purpose-built or “open” race engines for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and Canadian Tire Series The spec engine is not a fully assembled, sealed crate motor - a practice that is promoted in other grassroots racing divisions. Under this program, approved parts are encrypted and sold through Robert Yates Racing Engines. Customers can have the engine parts assembled and dyno tested by RYRE or an engine builder of their choice. However, none of the components can be modified before assembly. For 2013, prices for the kit vary between the different series, ranging from $21,000 up to $24,500. Assembly and dyno time at RYR adds another $4,000....The engine package starts with a factory GM LS2 block (4-inch bore). Internals include a 3.622-inch stroke Lunati crankshaft, Lunati rods, JE pistons (10.5:1 compression ratio), Cometic gaskets and Clevite bearings. The bottom side finishes up with a Champ oil pan, Stock Car Products oil pump, ATI damper and QuarterMaster flywheel and starter....In K&N Pro Series trim, the engine is rated at 610 horsepower with 500 lb-ft peak torque. The Canadian Tire series requires a smaller carb and tapered spacer, so horsepower is choked back to 500hp...
Mark. You know the rules correctly.
Thanks for sharing Nick, what a nice clean sounding engine too. Always a beaut way to start the day in the dyno room with the sound of an engine roar into life from New Zealand. Stay safe and well guy's.
So cool man. Look at the runners on that intake. Love the sound! Music to my ears Nick. Thank you!
That is so cool, Nick seriously gets the most awesome engines in his shop. I can’t imagine how this engine sounded in person. Keep up the great content, you guys rock
Hi Nick, that was great. What a treat for you to have that great engine in your shop. Yes you can't spill the beans. LOL 😂. for us viewers what a treat to see that on your dyno. It just goes to show the outstanding reputation you earned over the years. I sure your secret customers are pleased with the results of the tests. I'm sure your viewers would love to you have more opertunitys to test more Nascar power plants. Thank you for the video I loved it. What a cool intake manifold on that engine. Looks like it has great air flow.
Nick the dyno man work your magic Chevy really did a good job on the ls engine nick
Fully assembled the 364 cubic inch engine weighs around 415 pounds and produces approximately 610hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque. It’s components come from many of the best aftermarket companies including: Edelbrock manifold and fuel pump....An dry sump oil pump l know this engine....Love to have one in my truck lol Thanks Nick & George...What a great video.....! PS the reason why Richard Petty stop running the Superbird 426 HEMI was cause it out ran all of the other.....So Nascar outlawed the 426 HEMI....That is what he said to....
Sure would be nice to watch a F-1 engine running 15-18,000 rpm's on your dyno.
An F1 engine is probably worth more money then Nick’s whole shop.
Maybe Lance Stroll's dad can arrange to have one brought by. lol
😀😊👍🏼 That Would Be Sweet and a 3 Rotor Wankel Rotary Would Be Cool Too 😎
Back in 1985-1995 when NASCAR came to Sears Point Raceway (northern california ) I was racing Enduro Karts- lay down go karts. My class was 135cc. The kart had direct drive to rear axle clutch set to slip @ 10,000 rpm's. Top rpm's on different tracks was 14,000- 16,000 rpm's. My average speed around was 99mph, and this was 15 seconds per lap faster than NASCAR. Small size and low CG- 1" off ground makes this sport fun to run. Top speed was 130-150 mph and NO roll bars or seat belts. I raced this car around so much, she had over 10,000 miles on her, and I still have her to race again. I was the points champion for years, you had one hell of a time to beat me boys. The club was NCK, Northern California Karting.
They are governed to 15,000 since 2014, but rarely turn more than 12,000, due to mandated fuel flow restrictions. Energy recovery systems such as KERS had a boost of 160 hp (120 kW) and 2 megajoules per lap. KERS was renamed Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K). Heat energy recovery systems were also allowed, under the name Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H). The 2015 season was an improvement on 2014, adding about 30-50 hp (20-40 kW) to most engines, the Mercedes engine being the most powerful with 870 hp (649 kW). In 2019, Renault's engine was claimed to have hit 1,000 hp in qualifying trim. Of the previous manufacturers, only Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault produced engines to the new formula in 2014, whereas Cosworth stopped supplying engines. Honda returned in 2015 with their own engine, while McLaren used Honda power changing from Mercedes power in 2014. In 2019, Red Bull switched from using a Renault engine to Honda power. Honda supplies both Red Bull and AlphaTauri. Honda are due to withdraw as a power unit supplier at the end of 2021, with Red Bull taking over the project onwards and producing the engine in house.
Another great episode, Nick! Thank you! (Your engines sound better!)
Glad you like what you hear!
You’re channel as come a long way nicko you know you have when nascar to you. Congratulations on the success
Thank you James.
You’re welcome
It would be cool if Richard Petty would stop by your shop with his superbird
A few guys have dyno tested these Nascar LS2's and they get close to 600 hp. Really impressively built engines.
You could tell Nick was thrilled to run that up! Thanks for sharing!!
💪🚦
Hi from Norway love the NASCAR Engine.
Hello there, Norway! Thanks for watching.
Good morning Nick!!! Was just thinking: the fact that you are entrusted with things like this speaks VOLUMES of your character and reputation, and you put your all and best into what you do. I love watching all your stuff, and I am a patreon supporter (Joel J). Fantastic day to you sir!!!! 🙂
Very much appreciate that, Joel. Thank you.
@@NicksGarage you're very welcome: looking forward to when I can come and visit you guys.
Nick's Garage. Coffee and the WICKED,WICKED sound of a Secret Engine. Gets the BP going an a great day thank you Nick.
Nothing better then a hot cup of coffee and a new episode of nicks garage!
😄🤣👍
@Steve Paige lol this was posted at like 4am
To have something like that brought to you just shows how good you are Nick that is awesome just like your passion sir be good and stay safe
Soo cool! Been looking forward to this!!!
That is a very smooth running V8 so well balanced.
Glad you enjoyed.
What a treat. While I love the distinct rumble of a mopar engine, I also love the sound of a NASCAR engine.
Great job to Nick and crew from southeast Colorado!!!!
Right on. Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent Monday morning with nicks garage
Morning Todd!
Nick ,that smile on your face says it all . Happy happy . Reminds me of my Monza 262 v8 . I kranked that engine to over 8000rpm
Awesome! Thanks Nick and thanks anonymous! Very cool!
Cool engine! Thanks for sharing all these neat variety of engine's with us Nick!
Thx Nick. NASCAR ....a complete shell of its past. I enjoy the small tracks and dirt. More my flavor.
Remember 80’s rallycross?
@@NicksGarage - 👍Give 'em room folks, give em room! Love watching some of the older ones.
Good evening Nick and crew! from Western Australia
Glad that you are with us today, Anthony.
Thanks Nick for bringing in that awesome engine, depending on when that one was built it should make around 700hp i know the newer ones they tuned em down to around 550hp but with more torque. Stay safe Nick.
Had a friend who got a late 50's Oldmobile engine that had been developed for the Indy 500. It was strong!
@Craig Now that's Rocket power! Love those Olds engines.
Olds OWNED NASCAR 1952 - 1956...
Thanks for sharing this with us. Have followed Nascar all my life.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed, Ray.
6600 huh? Those engines wind a lot tighter than that. All you have to do is watch the in car telemetry and you will see 2000+ more RPM than that. What is absolutely amazing is the amount of power those engines can make with that size carb. I guess with super great flowing intake and heads plus ludicrous revs you can accomplish miracles.
Sounds just like a ford; It's a wonder it didn't tear the dyno right out of the floor. Be careful Nick - love the show.
Gota love it..... Boy it sure would be slick to get Richard Petty's old Winston cup hemi on your Dino the one from the superbird believe it's still holds the NASCAR mile per hour record to this day
You mentioned visiting Talladega, did you get to visit the International Hall of Fame Museum that's next to the track? That place is incredible! Lots of amazing old cars and engines on display.
A big Thanks to Nick that was awesome👍👍
I used to follow NASCAR a little bit I know that motor makes a lot of horsepower and will rev 7000 RPM all day long! To a Gearhead that's sweet music
This is a spec motor used in NASCAR's touring series and ARCA's Whelen modified series. They make 610hp.
Hey Nick! I'm in the mtns of NC ⛰ I know that sound! I hear that sometimes when I'm out in my garden...🤣! Love my neighbors, it's like birds singing nearby...😎👍
Thank you Nick, Cool stuff makes my Monday. Springs is officially here. Thums up!
It's so interesting how bullet-proof these modern race-engineered powerplants are when compared to one of 50 years ago when engines would blow left and right during a race... but I would still rather see a '60s NASCAR Hemi on the stand. It's like watching a 625 horsepower lawn mower engine in action.
WoW that sounds so smooth
Thank Nick for the show
Keep the videos coming Nick. Greetings from England.
More to come!
Sweet setup! Sounds incredible 👍
Thanks for being here! Tell a friend?
Good morning Nick and crew. Have a great week.
Good morning. Thanks.
You did good here Nick. You do not want to give any of the other race teams an edge.....and if they found out that the engine was in your shop chances are THEY WATCHED THIS VIDEO!
This engine is severely restricted by the 650 CFM Carburetor. It's to keep the cost down and the competition close. It likely makes around 650 HP but I'm only guessing.
Robert Yates was one of the best engine builders ever but passed a couple of years ago, but his employees kept the shop going producing these Nascar engines.
The famed Jack Roush and Doug Yates, Son of Robert Yates, builds engines for all the Ford Mustang teams in Nascar.
The Michigan 500 was built on my uncle Les' property. They bought it from him in the late 60s and the house my dad grew up in is still there by the track. As per the agreement our family was supposed to have free passes for any race for life to direct family members to my uncle, but they sold the track to someone else and somehow that ended the life time agreement. I guess lifetime means nothing. I haven't been there since I was little.
Check Burt Reynold story about his “lifetime agreement” with Pontiac for a new TransAm every year ! His movies took the same formula as “Bullet” and “Vanishing Point” and 007 movies to create the “Hero’s Car” brand-image that resulted in enormous sales. Such contracts intention is perpetually - but - the small print 10 pages long are used to get-around the big print. I don’t know if Dodge still offers a “Lifetime WARRANTY” but the small print had an “escape clause” that basically said, unless the value of the car is lower than cost of repair 🤨
I like how you let off the throttle slowly 👌Alot of dyno guys just pull it ,and I think that's a good way to stress the engine more than the pull and puts a TON of stress on the rods , crank, and piston pins especially during the exhaust stroke .
Andrew. I know. No need to slam to a sudden stop on the RPM.
@@nickpanaritis4122 I've had 2 performance vehicals , an 81 comaro that ran 12 .6s all day it went through the line at 6100 rpm . I ran that car on the street all the x and would just eeeez out of it and put it in neutral when revs were under 3000 sometimes . Had a ford lightning to treated it the same . Alot of 2 strokes also . The cardinal sinners are the idiots that constantly blurp the throttle like a deranged harley guy that's trying to be cool . Horrible terrifing stuff. Good work Nick , cheers !
My machine shop boss had the same oiling set up on the shop drag racing engine....dry sump, too. WE had Yates heads also - but on a Ford. Lots of NASCAR tech went into our shop 1/4 horse engines, actually.....
(added - even my little 7500 rpm street 289 had a set of used Roush Racing NASCAR re-furbished solid roller lifters from Roush's "Used NASCAR Parts Program". 1/3 cost of buying them new. My Boss arranged the deal and when they came in with obvious hand ground mods for removing weight and splayed valve pushrod clearances, the boss said it was probably Jack's hands that did that....)
BTW - back then the average in NASCAR was around 770 BHP - the late 90's.....
From RYR Engines: "The foundation of the NASCAR-Approved Spec Engine is a production GM LS2 block (6.0L / 4.000) with LS2 CNC ported heads. Fully assembled the 364 cubic inch engine weighs around 415 pounds and produces approximately 610hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque. It’s components come from many of the best aftermarket companies"
I saw those specs, do you think from 2012 they could have changed or the same?
According to Wikipedia these engines put out about 525 HP. Crazy good for that displacement and CFM. Nice to see one up close and out of the car.
Thanks Nick. I"m in Arizona and love your channel.
Jay. Thank you Jay for watching.
Thanks for sharing a little engine variety, Nick!
Got to feed one's Nick's Garage addiction....
Hope that you're all doing well! 🤜🏻🤛🏻☕
I look around smiling listening to that engine
Hey that is pretty neat!!! Back when I used to watch Nascar I was a big Robert Yates fan!! Everybody always asks who my driver was. I told them I like (at that time) Dale Jarret & Ricky Rudd but its not really the driver that I follow. I follow Robert Yates racing. Of course he ran Fords & I liked fords & he was always described as a hands on engine guy. Someone described him as a little guy that got into racing & became a big guy. As you know if you follow racing that is a near impossible feat since it is so expensive to keep a car competitive in the sport. Later yrs down the road Robert Yates racing began to take hits from the rule changes & financial hits & began to decline until I dont think I ever seen any Yates cars out there anymore? The rules have made it a bit numb to watch for me anymore. Im a engine guy, as someone that is paying attention to the equipment they take the interest out of it when they regulate all the equipment so much. You don't really get to see just what some can do with equipment. If equipment begins to become better than the competitive brand Nascar steps in to take away a advantage or gives the other brand somthing by the historical rule book the other manufacturer should have never been able to run. I understand they have to now days with the ability of this new stuff. If they didn't restrict these engines with rules they would have to race aircrafts instead of race cars.
That was awesome ty Nick
oh that sounded nice and sweet.
especially on the full rev like it was headed right down the straightaway 😎
It sounded very well balanced and smooth, very clean.
thanks nick that was nice. big thanks to the crew that dropt off the engine. robert yates hp wow"
When you sit on the front row at Talladega you can really hear and feel the power of these cars and the smell of the high octane race fuel is awesome.
The cars that run in the NASCAR Cup series use fuel injection, that engine is from one of NASCAR's other series. The Cup series engines probably produce 800 HP at races at tracks other than Daytona and Talladaga, at those races they use restrictor plates that may cut the power substantially.
N2. That is correct.
The mopar r5 p7 nascar engines make about 800hp built for high rpm continuous running
That thing should rev to 8 grand with no issues.
Thanks for posting Nick.
That sure looks and sounds smooth, it must balanced to the max.
This is exciting !!!!!!thanks for this
Well that was downright awesome. I'm totally jealous. Lol
It was!
Thanks for sharing was awesome to see this is why nicks garage is the best channel on UA-cam how can you top this nick is awesome
Glad you enjoy it!
Dr. Nick,I have never seen a Nascar engine before,however it sounds awesome on my stereo system.
Nice. Crank it up.
@@NicksGarage trust me, I did.
Kind of like the truck series engines. 👍 To make that kind of power on a 390 cfm carb is a trip.
that was awesome built engines sound so cool great video thanks guys keep safe
Glad you enjoyed it
If it's a used Pintys Series engine, it makes around 550 horsepower. Brand new Pintys Series engines make around 600 horsepower.
ACCORDING TO YATES WEB SITE: THE NASCAR SPEC LS2 364, IS 610HP/500FT lbs@8000RPM. IT COST $28,500US.
Great video this morning, for a morning with rain and setting with coffee and great sounds from that motor 😀 Have a great week 👍
You too!
Pixie is that a CANADA thing, never heard of it. I have followed Nascar since 83 Winston Cup.
NASCAR is what I WATCH, WHEN I WANT to GO to SLEEP
that is awesome sounds good
Morning Mr Nick!! Have a Great Week!!
Good Morning, Nick and George, A NASCAR engine, awesome, bring it on.
Good morning! How cool is that?
@@NicksGarage I knew that you had something secret planned for the Monday video, but I never expected seeing a NASCAR engine on the dyno. This is way cool, and the engine is so awesome in the upper rpm range. Great Video George.
Id like to see a Dodge R5-B7 NASCAR Cupcar engine, like 9k redline v8, pushrod i think. a hell of a sound.
Awesome sound and I saw these cars when they came to Montreal. NASCAR should do more road courses. Cool vid!
Sounds beautiful 👍
I’m saying with the smaller carb 500 hp. They run a 750 hp motor on tracks where the need massive acceleration such as Bristol and martinsville. Daytona, Talladega etc get the restricted 500 hp motor
As a Chevy guy that's the sound of music to my ears. People ask why no radio in the street/race car and I say for what I have the engine😏😁.
Right on.
