Alll mechanical. No electronics in sight

6-71 GMC blower off a 6-71 detroit deisel,is that formula the same

It was his uncle had the dealership 😊

He had 2 cars I was a 409 the other was a stock version ..an when he got protested he always put up the stock 1.😅ran it along time till then won a lot $$😂 they called fast eddie....

That guy with the 409 was my fater

I have to run a 10 rib gates because my blower takes more HP to run than my other car 😂

We used to put 390 Cadillac engines in 57 Chevys, they bolted right up and performance was incredible

Would it be possible to machine a groove in the crankshaft, camshaft, and magneto drive bushings to accept a small elastomer seal, either a proper lip seal or a simple O-ring or D-ring? Combined with an oil control ring, you could convert the whole thing to splash lubrication just by the rod bushing pin striking the oil. When you talk about a PCV system, do you just mean just a crankcase breather vented to the intake like on a lawnmower, or a full PCV system, basically an engineered vacuum leak through the crankcase regulated with a spring loaded valve, like on cars? Also, if the bores look like glass, they might benefit from a light honing to deglaze them, at least if you go with oil control rings. 6.5 to 1 compression is crazy. I have a hard time believing that straight-run gasoline with about 40 octane wouldn't ping like crazy.

I will always take the thermostat completely out in the summertime so that my motor would run cooler and have more power 💪 but in the winter time I would reinstall it so that my heater core would work😂😂😂

Must have a good ear l can not tell the difference

Would a faulty cap tend to blow a head gasket? No other symptoms exist other than steam out the one pipe. Brand new cap... I've heard of thermostats being bad out the box especially these days. What about caps?

If you go to machanics school you would know this

Imagine if they built stuff like this today ?

now i know why my engine doesnt want to go high rpm i have the cam advanced. but it has more tourqe.. it slows down about 4900 rpm. ford 351w .. also its a rv cam good low power.. but it is a heavy car 1978 cougar .

Beautiful

Beautiful car! Would love to have it if I could only afford a 8 mpg car

My built stroked 438windsor is a fcking monster. Street car and pulls to 7400rpm like a frieght train.

I wanna hear it run...

Everything but THE classic front view of the car... Sorry, a big F for this effort...

Interesting, i know you're thinking old skool so to say, but my 6.0 g8 that's been built an cammed etc i have 19lb rad cap on.

The boiling point is as other's has replied, and it goes like this, for every pound of pressure that it's under does raise the boiling point... But remember this!!! It's calculated at sea level!! And,a closed system under vacuum it's totally the opposite, I could go deep in to this but... Look it up 😂

Kool old stuff Thanks fellas

Would you use the Dodge Cam?

TORQUE

Is there a chance the piston could size up once you limit the oil on the cylinder? Sounds like it’s pretty tight already.

Bonito.

3 seconds of propane, from an UN LIT torch and a screwdriver... you can dial in any carburetor 🎯

I had to look it up. Berryman Chem-Dip is carburetor cleaner.

I have a 239 flathead 8ba that has been sitting for several years and the engine is free and spins over great but cylinder 1 and cylinder 8 both have stuck open intake valves. How can I free up these valves without pulling the heads?

V6 🤢

Looks like a floating wrist pin as well?

The 300 6cyl ford has timing gears instead of a chain. You can buy straight up gears for it. I put a aluminum racing set on mine. The cam gear needs to be pressed on.

Don't you mean LOWERING the boiling point?

Always been a GM guy, but I think that this might be my favorite body style of all time.

Impressive

They lied 425 hp 😂 525 all day long

How would changing the main jets affect the idle? Idle mixture is changed by adjusting the idle mixture screws, not the main jets!

I love this stuff...Thanks Barry.

My Mom had a 1971 Pontiac Bonnaville , Same Motor . Big Cars Big Motors. And They All Floated on the Highway. Like a Boat. Cars back then.. Better because they were Not so Cookie Cut like Today’s

most race cars wouldn't have a heater core.

When I bought a buy 1 get the 2nd one free. The free one was for parts. When they were delivered to my great surprise it has a 409 complete with headers. The man I got the trucks from said he didn't know what engine it was. But it had plenty of power. I plan to use it in a rat rod. Probably take it to local track a few times. As people there will know it and it will get as much if not more attention than other high dollar cars. The same as in the local car shows. Not going to hot rod it any. Just put in drive and let the transmission shift on its own.

This man's knowledge is truly epic😊 he reminds me of my grandpa I love all those old school tricks 🤣

rather just put a larger radiator in , many new cars have skinny radiators and 20+ psi caps

Slot is only in the lifter body and there’s a pin in the lifter bore sticking out from lifter bore inside out that each roller lifter slides on to keep it straight?! Not the length of the block only in the bores for lifters.

you wonder how do I know I destroyed several units like that had to switch to a heavy duty diaphragm clutch to handle power shifting

those three finger units are only really good for stock they can't take the abuse of power shifting you will bend all the pins in the clutch and then it won't disengage properly

Hosses clamps exc.

If I remember right the 427 W head was the ZL1 😊
