Boring!

Hey what's going on with the 496 ?

Good job kiddo! you broke down one tranny and swapped into another , will you mention what gears did you upgrade to? what will you be doing in your off time ,e.g. build engines and trannies and maybe do your online shop? If just to chill, enjoy your New Year and we'll see you then! Good luck!!

Merry Christmas! May you go FAST next year 🙃

Whats your set up? Car runs great man.

I have an 84 and 87 chevette sport. Always wanted to tub one. What springs are you running in the front?

Keep it up man. You’ll be in the 9’s soon enough. I swapped out the engine for a 408 this year hopefully I’ll be in the 10’s. See ya at the track👍🏻

Hello is that a turbohydromatic 350 transmission? If it is what did you do to make it stay together under all that power. What shredded just the case? I am seeing yours and now debating maybe I don't need a turbo 400. My car is only a street machine 1976 firebird with a mild 400. Great Nova by the way 👍💪

Let me know if you need anything cuz I’m down for whatever 💪🏽🔧

Did you ever find the part numbers for the springs you got from calvert? I'd like to do the same type of setup.

main cap and valve stud girdles are fake performance made in china garbage. Ive never seen these on a NHRA stock or super stock drag racer engine or on a daytona engine. I hope you get your ebgine built to your satisfaction.

What are the odds...i have 215 heads and I am planning to port myself. Thanks

You said how many holes?

That is not going to hold! Sorry man, pull the case & get a new one.

It may be for an AFR head, they have differant spacing, according to a U tube vid. I saw AFR has their own girddle .?

Grats on new PB

good luck let us know how it goes will be interesting

I think Getting it too leave harder and a solid 1.3 sixty foot time should get you 10.1 something. I don't think itll go 9.99 without more work too the Motor.

Sounds like you're on the right path

Very respectful timeslip, good job my friend. A 150 shot should get you in the 9s if that was a N/A pass.😎👍

Man I hope I get into the 10s. I made a 7.13 in 8th on motor before i lost 400lbs So hoping I can do it without spray but I got a 300hp plate to play with too.

Sounds excellent!

Same. They suck

Oh shit. Mine are coming tomorrow.. for my 220 Flotek cnc heads

Hey,what cam specs are you using and is it 2.30 int valve

Does not matter if it’s new parts or not. It matters the money in it. To replicate it, it would cost 10-15 k. So now what?

You think like I do, it doesnt matter what you do to the opening, if the pushrod pinch is smaller you could be doing more harm than good. Raising the port is always good because it is so low.

.022 thousand lash not zero!

Get it on the track

What about the valve guide and seal? Also was it possible the intake gasket around the bottom of the runners was not sealing 100% letting it pull oil into the ports? Also any bolts that thread into a port thats not a blind hole, like rocker studs could let oil in.

Father and sons, you'll get it done. So far nothing looks out of the ordinary. Can't wait to see if the extra compression makes a difference.😎👍

I wish you were my neighbor, your talented indeed. Stay blessed, brother.

Are you in Michigan by chance?

Ive used 5/16 Manton .120 wall pushrods in a 68 MO code 302 sbc with BME aluminum rods & Arias pistons, lightened GM forged crank prepped by Reath automotive that i turned 9800rpm thru the lights. Had a Ultradyne .680+ lift 280/[email protected] solid roller in it. Never broke a pushrod. Car ran 9.80s in the 1/4 in a tubbed Vega NA. 6-17 gear & 7000 stall. Used hogged out 034 Bowtie heads from the 80s and a porter Strip Dominator intake, 2 in spacer & 830 Holley annular discharge. Mallory Unilite distributor with Pro Master coil. Stahl 1 7/8 primary, 3 1/2 collector swap headers. Bolted engine in with a Comp Engineering engine plate. Hard to beat them Manton pushrods. Trend also makes super strong badass pushrods.

Expecting to run mid to low 10s with a 79 Cutlass with NA 357ci im working on. Also expect similar numbers out of my 84 Z-28. Of course i want to put a bigblock in it. Just got a bulletproof 4-33 geared 9 inch bolted into it. Building a rowdy 13.2-1 compression .060 427 bigblock thats gonna make around 750hp that would look good in my Camaro. But its been in machine shop jail for a minute. Its gonna turn 8000rpm. Single 1150 Dominator on a Bowtie intake. Bullet solid roller. Big fucker. Block should be about ready. Should any damn way. Pretty cool Nova ya have there.

Mid 10s NA with a SBC and old Sportsman 2s aint nothing to be ashamed sbout. Pretty respectable. My 86 g-body Bonneville 60ft was in the 1.45 range, ran 6.60s in the 1/8 and 10.30 best with a 388ci SBC, 5000 BTE convertor, 5-13 gear with a 29.5x11.5x15 M/T slick. About 3050lbs. I had ported 1999 Pro Topline 220 heads on it, bigass Crower 274/[email protected] 668/669 lift, 107 lobe sep solid roller, about 12.75-1 give or take. Just a basic 4.060x3.750 combo with good shit. Used a 850 DP on it and a 1050 Dominator, big fucker picked up a tenth. 96 jets all around. Timing locked out at 38 degrees. But its currently disassembled and im slowly building a 496 Bigblock for it. Like to run low 9s NA with it.

Full build video is sweet deal

Take carb look with scope around intake valve guide and ex guide

I'm sorry to hear you weren't feeling well🤒 but am glad you're feeling better now. Hopefully you're on your way to 100%.😁 Cool, a 406 sbc build those are always fun. Maybe do it as a series, a block prep video, cam bearings and freeze plugs install video and so on until it's all together. A series of shorter videos instead of one long one and a short video for every video in the series to advertise the series. Then when the series is done you can do a short video to advertise the 406 build series in your playlist. And maybe a full length video of the entire series? Post one a day just make sure you can stick to the one a day schedule so people get used to watching them everyday. Or a weekly schedule, whichever works out better for you. And when you have maybe a track video that you're going to post, advertise it on the series video it will follow. And of coarse a short video plus advertise the next series video in the non series video. We need to get your channel monetized so you can do bigger and better things. What you do with nothing is amazing, I want to see what you can do with some extra financing. Dealers choice though, it's your channel. Good luck.😎👍

You better be ready when you pull up beside this, Chevy 😎

Good for you if you look the parts are out ther the hardest thing to find is aluminum heads for cheap but ther out ther to being at the right place at right time and coin in your pocket or something they want

Sweet!😎👍

Great video going to install one this weekend

Glad I found your channel! Super cool! I built my last fox body with used parts! Drove it to the track and had a blast!

mine was hitting the front main cap had to belt sand the gasket rail till i got about .010 clearance with the gasket on i had to run the button all the way out have about .010 end play

Thank you for being honest about your mistakes. Very helpful! I'm about to install one of these also. My biggest concern is actually getting it to seal with the oil pan, I hate oil leaks!

Make it happen Captain. Yeah, nowadays if you can't find a good machinist you're probably better off buying the equipment to do it yourself. Forgot the name of the channel but a guy on here used a True Hone to hone out .030" from a sbc block. A True Hone will make a hole round within probably .0003" so close enough. But a whole heck of a lot of work. He should of got a set of .010" over pistons to do that with.😳 But no machine shop jail. He refinished the decks with sandpaper attached to plywood with the crank on it to weigh it down.🙄 He should of used something that distributed the weight a lot more evenly. But all in all it should work out fine. Gotta love no machine shop jail and no machine shop bill even better. Those hones aren't free but if you're going to do more than 1 block with it, totally worth it if you like the workout.😎👍
