POSI unit ? Thats a GM term, not ford. get your info straight.
PowerNation will you please build a LT1 Chevrolet Camaro motor? I have a 1995 Z28 but there’s not a lot of quality build videos for that particular motor
I don’t know anyone else on UA-cam who shows and explains car customization like y’all! Keep it up it’s worth gold!
Are you guys ever gonna show this one moving? I saw the videos on your site but it's missing where it drives

Being a Ford guy I really like seeing you get over 600 horse power out of a small block.
To small of carb. I run a 1050 Dominantor on my 347 and it makes 670 on race fuel.

james coulter can you even call 7 liters a small block 😂
@@alexcorona even if it is 7 liters it don't change the fact that the 351 block is and has always been a small block so yes a 7 liter motor can be a small block.
Would be better with some CHI/Higgins, etc Cleveland heads. 900 hp on RON98 (same as 93 here) 461ci aluminum block and heads. Fullboost covered it.

So tired of LS .. LS,, LS.. Lol.
Nice build I like to have that. Perfect street engine.
Amen to that. Plus i dont care what any of those LS peckers say, when gm was developing the LS they took cues from ford. Cause its awfully funny how an LS head bolts on to a sbf and has more in common with a ford small block than a chevy.

That john guy is to humble..one thing we never seem to mention is we are always "checking corners" it gets pretty pathetic when you are at a restaurant and everyone is having a good time and a door suddenly opens and you brace..it's a reaction burned deep into your core and is one that will never stop..I'm 57 now and my combat years are far gone but I still get that urge to "check my six" and you know what I do when that happens ?

Thank you John for your service sir. You make a great addition to this already great line-up. And thanks PN for listing the part numbers in the description box. Love the channel and cheers from Motown.
Thank you for your service, John. I hope you enjoy your new career, doing what you're passionate about. Be blessed brother.
Thank you for your service John ! I loved the video with you building and comparing those 351s
This is a great motor, I built one similar a 69 351w block as a 418ci stroker, all high performance, choppy Comp Cam, roller rockers, victor Jr. Heads, high rise Elderbrock intake manifold, 750 carb, headers in a 65 Mustang had 550hp or more. Nice strong motor, 3sp automatic c4 transmission with hardened gears, plus with a 2500 stall converter, 383 rearend gear ratio. Thanks for sharing this motor, It is very similar to the one I had, sweet.
"550 hp or more" my ass. Just like your "383 gears".
@@deeremeyer1749 yep, all blueprint, magnifuxed, balanced, paperwork, receipts. Yep it sure beat some ass alright. Hahahahah !
@@congettoinzauro4860 I'm guessing you've never set a gear in your life.
9 in come in 370:1 and 390:1( two closest gear sets to your claim not 383:1 . Nice try though. Also the 64 1/2 - 66 mustangs were super weak structurally and 400 plus hp would easily twist that pony all up. Which is typically why you don't see any legit fast early mustangs without a ton of structural bracing / modifications . Those who know , know . Guys like you just flap their gums.
@@johnmilner5485 my 65 mustang didn't twist one bit, ha, I had possi traction.
@@congettoinzauro4860 You're a chronic bullshtter & a poser . Just stop exposing yourself as the clueless uck that you are already.
First things first poser boy you never had " possi" which is actually ' posi ' and either way that's a chevy boy thing ( or GM of you wish ) because Ford's didn't have positract rear ends , they instead had " traction lock " . But still doesn't matter because you don't twist a subframe or full frame car up by not gaining traction . Instead oh simple minded one ,it works quite the opposite .
You see my completely lacking any automotive knowledge YT " friend " ( not really ,I hate idiot's like you ) It's when you actually put the power to the ground that bad things happen ( like twisting super thin rear frame rails on a 64 1/2- 66 mustang ) and when that happens anyone who's ever had a fast or powerful car will tell you that they found in no certain order every ' weak link " in the car * ie u joints , motor mounts , clutch , transmission etc ..... Point being dopey is you've all heard ' spinning ain't winning ' , but you'll also never break a dang thing when you can't ' hook up ' unless you experience wheel hop and then a guy like me has to build your not talent having arse a rear end , because that's way beyond a glorified parts changer like you's skill level. Have a good night Cupcake .

For me. this is purely educational and I could watch this all day long.
Wonderful engine sound from a great looking engine!
I love the commitment at the end, I was addicted 👀😩🤔👍😎 WIN!
That air compressor tool to remove springs is very cool. When I was a kid I used to fill the cylinder with rope lol UNTILL I got maximum pressure to remove those pesky magnets to change seals ect and double springs. How times have changed. But today springs and seals are probably one of the easiest jobs for a novice like my self. Essentially 351 Cleveland’s and my favourite motor the fuel injected version of the 351 Windsor. They are both very very good engines provided you DO THE JOB RIGHT !! No skimming or you will regret it just plain and simple.❤😎🇦🇺👍🇺🇸
Nice build for a 50 year old motor design. Could you imagine if there was half the effort going into this style of motor as the taxpayer corporate funded GM copy LS motor. Nice thing on a Ford you can service lifters with out pulling heads unlike a LS.
I believe that there is so much more to be done with these older engines as we just barely scratched the surface of their experience before they was pushing out more nonsense just to pretend like we are progressing in technology I mean what we get only 2 years of experience on these before they push out more ? I would have liked to see at least 5 to 10 years giving humanity a chance to experience these ..
The clowns that are having premature ejaculation over the EV coming into play , they never stop to actually enjoy the experience of the fruits ..
So EV gets here then what is next ? Humans are not going to advance with these trinkets of supposed technology advancement , it's a joke on humanity . Because of greedy politics and money .
Welcome John and thank you for your service.
Never use a dial indicator for TDC, there is so much piston dwell time , that you will be off. Use a piston stop set for .100 before TDC in both rotations.
@David Miorgan Well laid out ... 👍😎
I use a dial indicator but go .100 in the hole both ways. Same thing.
Use the .50 method. Dead on using a dial indicator.
what i used to do was put the distributor in before i put the heads on then i could find the right timing spot and if i need to do it after i got the head on i would take the valve cover off to see how the valves set up
Excellent build & results! Thank you John for your service.
Who else watches these before bed ? Helps me sleep.
Helps me have sweet dreams
First I want to think him for his service and congratulations on the fine job of making over 600 horsepower! Thanks for sharing!
This is what I like to see...engine builds of ALL kinds! Screw truck lifting and all that hick crap. Make this about power like the name says!
All they build are pushrod engines. That's not all kinds. I've never seen them do a 4 cam engine, or even a rotary for example.
@@fusionsportdaily1650 I'd like to see them build a Turbo 4 cylinder with 600 horses.

@@s0uthp4w68why bother? The engines on this show are built for muscle cars anyway.
@@fusionsportdaily1650Because those are a lot more expensive to build than they suck.
thank you for your service John Bouchard
Thank you for your service. One hell of an engine build. Sorry but saw ya got burned down on that high five at the sight of 610hp. My hands up for ya though.
back in the late 80s i spent a lot of time at my brother-in-law's garage and and guy that worked in an engine rebuild shop said that the 351 Cleveland was his favorite engine to work on because of its potential at the time, this vid shows why. yes todays engines with blowers etc may make more power but for a street machine this would be fun just for cruising even if a honda would kick your butt, lol
Yeah that's all good and everything but this engine they built is not a Cleveland.
"More lube, then NUT." Seriously I love these guys
Thank you Mr. Bouchard for your service. Miss you on TV. Maybe they’ll have you back for a guest appearance.
16:45.. awkward 'non-high 5' moment.. :)
Thank you for your service John!
It's amazing to me how many HP you can "chase down" with just timing and jetting changes, assuming you were not off in the weeds to begin with, which obviously you weren't. You do some very nice engine builds, BTW.
Oorah Devil Dog. I’m glad to see combat vets out here doing making it in the real world. I hope he is still doing good. That video looked like it was from Operation Phantom Fury. Those guys are the best of the best and legends in the Marine Corps.
I know this is an old, pre-recorded episode, but I grew up watching these episodes as a kid. 20 years later I’m building my first drag car and have a bunch of street cars under my belt.
I love this stuff so much!!!!!
That is not a boss 351...the boss is a Cleveland, this is a Windsor motor running inline valves...all boss motors use a canted valve 335 series or 385 series based head design.
Make a track boss Cleveland stroker with CHI heads and watch it crush the Windsor
Thank you. Canted valves is what made a Boss the Boss.
This is a strong Ford, not a Boss.
@@johntempest267 its fords boss 351 block, maybe try looking it up before flapping. That is what ford named it.

That engine is a monster!!
0:48 "...a new version of Ford's famous FE 427". Um, no. Only similarity is displacement.
Mick Annical :Yep. The desire Ford had was to make the 221 to 400 family of Windsor, Cleveland / 335 engines better the FE. At LeMans with the 5 litre GT40 Weslake engine, they did it in 1968. Since its an iron block 4.38 inch bore center to center 427, its outdone the 485 hp GT40 427 FE.With a huge weight reduction with its trim 9.5 inch tall deck.Score!
I’ve got one but I have to agree, tha FE 427 was a really cool engine, deep skirts, interesting valve arrangement, shaft rockers, weird head to intake, cross bolted mains, and a firing order that is instantly recognizable...the 427 Windsor shares displacement only.
@@stevoschannel4127 Windsor? I thought Boss 351s were clevelands.

Mike, Joe, and John were the best team the show ever had from a fans perspective. If they setup a UA-cam channel id watch them do anything.
I can't believe that with fast-burn type heads they thought more advance would bump power.....they finally figured it out. What was the final timing change? More timing or less?
Looks like 31 degrees , in my experience SBF usually do not like a ton of timing . A SBC likes alot though like 36 up to 40.
@@boostedsaleen6146 Thanks.....was very curious as I've dinked with SBF's all my life and I was wondering what they were up to.
@@tomnekuda3818 I've built a bunch of small block and big block fords my self every thing from a 302 to stroker windsors and 586 series engines I definitely bleed blue .
@@boostedsaleen6146 Sounds like me....have built 460's, some stroked, for towing and some for street. Not so many SBF's but that's what I'm driving now....a warmed up 302. The 385 series heads are miserable in the exhaust area as they were compromised to fit between shock towers on Mustangs.....best always to save nickels and dimes to buy good flowing aluminum heads. I have ported/Devcon-F'ed stock heads to increase/boost flow in exhausts until I was blue in the face. Even following Ford templates for porting, it remained the biggest weakness in the 460+. Best to build torque in 460's and rpm in SBF.....wind 'em up until only dogs can hear them! Ha. 351W is particularly good engine for torque and HP. Keep the Ford Faith. Tom
@@tomnekuda3818 I think most windsor builds can reach 34 degrees... Had a 460 at 33 and a 302 now at 29 degrees... Both 93 pump which is working good
Explaining how to degree a cam was excellent!
Just watched them supercharge a z06 and didnt even break 580hp these guys broke 600 N/A
580 at the rear wheels is not the same as 600 at the crankshaft
@@Thraser999 I understand that I've been building engines since I was a young kid.

That was a super clean T Bird
I'd love to see some E85 and higher compression engines. 13:1 anyone?
High Performance Academy just interviewed a guy saying they were making engines with a CR of 14:1 and weren't knock limited on E85. IIRC it was with a Hayabusa head. No idea on the cam specs or if the claim was static or dynamic, pretty impressive either way though.
I would like to see them with a 2JZ inline 6 and get at least a thousand horsepower
13:1 Isnt as crazy as it used to be...even Nissans have up to 14:1 in their VC turbo engines
See if they can't get into diesel territory... The Mazda skyactive 5 cyl. Make 14:1.. so with enough$$$ it can happen

@@revolutionday1 same advice to you, find out what the Amish believe and how they live their lives, they shun mechanical devices and live their lives involved in farming and family, and have nothing to do with having any military service.

Anyone else notice they did not use Boss (Cleveland) style heads, rather Windsor heads. Was really surprised by that as Boss heads flow much better. Still a great build with an amazing block!!
This is exactly what I was going to comment about. Like why are you using straight valve heads on a Cleveland?! But the block isn't the OG 351 Boss from 1971, it's a Windsor block. Ford Racing M-6010-B35192BB Boss Engine Block

Impressive numbers, but I just can't get excited seeing someone pull out a modern fuel injected engine and replacing it with an antiquated carb setup. If this was a 70s muscle car, sure. But not on a late 90s car.
THIS^
Agreed. A blown coyote and manual trans out of a wrecked GT500 would have been cool. Just think how many wrecked GT500s must be out there.
Good inspiration... I love to build myself. Worked Roush Fenway racing for years .
He mentioned "one small tinning change", but he never mentioned if it was more or less. I've watched 17 minutes and couldn't know what came up with the results.
Pretty sure they settled at 29 degrees BTDC.
If you look on the timing mark for the final adjustment, I think he went smaller jet and then it bounced around 33-35 degrees timing for 610hp, so I'd say around 34 degrees was the sweet spot
pegglegg123 They tried 35 before with low power, I don’t think 35 would bring the power up after leaner the jets. 32 or 33 makes more sense, but it a shame they didn’t mentioned. I was about to subscribe the channel, but I was disappointed.
@@m.pietro9087 its was mainly about 33 so close to sweet spot, but they should have said it. But just looking at it you can tell so not needed
pegglegg123 thank you very much. It’s important to have this kind of information. It helps everyone with engine projects.

Old shows
610hp from a normally asperated SBF! Well done!
Would it be smart to put a 427 stroker in a 1966 mustang fastback?
Sure, why not ? You could dress it up as a 289. Most ppl can't tell difference by looking at them, you could grudge race it and hurt alot of feelings.
Putting a 600hp 427. In a 65 Mustang is of course possible. However smart? Not so much. The cars suspension brakes transmission rear end AND structural would all need upgrading to have anything like a safe and well balanced car
By the time you were finished you'd have spent more on the items I mentioned than the engine. However I've seen it done and the result was pretty cool. Good luck if you decide to do it.
I had a Boss 351 Stang and it had canted valves your heads dont those look like windsor heads
Exactly
Cleveland block and heads - the only way to go!
In line valves? Not a Boss.
