351 LS Part 7

[@frankierutherford1888]

I don’t think you wasted your time. I can appreciate you sharing this with us.

[@patrickmcdonald3427]

Me either. However, my question at the beginning of this (or the end of part 6 where you mentioned "turbo"), was how long would the stock bottom hold up? You found the answer!

[@jerodTSI]

We need more of this nowadays!

[@cantgoslow]

Why did no one tell me about this. Been reading for years all these Internet geniuses saying they're going to get it done and I would laugh to myself. A man actually got shit done and where's the Internet credit? Where's the Oscar for ultimate sloppy job? This man is clearly the king of humble too, I tip my hat to you sir. The first, for the lulz that ever actually happened irl.

Absolutely ******* brilliant video series, I've watched for ages. Not only a great topic but great production. Not overpowered with thrash metal so you can hear, no unfunny cheesy jokes and all the talking was just what you wanted to hear and needed to know ... not over narrated. I'm kinda sad it's over. Do another video on diagnosis of where and why it let go. Then build a better one. Use better parts and if cost is a factor then do a "Go fund me" for help with cost. Thanks again for a great series. Real genuine old school hot riding with a modern twist ... loved it.

[@jondahl9826]

Thanks for building it, taking it to complete failure, and making a mess out of your dyno room for our entertainment.

I think this was a super interesting experiment. I would love to see a remake with those newer gm heads you mentioned in the other video. When I started watching I had doubts it was gonna run correctly let alone make almost 1k hp at some point. Great series 👏

[@olblu8746]

@@immaculatelation there will be no man ,as we know them now, existing after the apocalypse. I have two of the earliest 351 W blocks, complete engines, which are known as C9 castings. They are shortly shorter and have alot more reinforced bottom end than the later 351W. The main webbing around the crank area is strikingly thicker. They are so different you can actually see the difference. They also have a much better oiling system than the Cleveland 351. When Nascar ran out of Cleveland blocks they started using the Windsor blocks. They can stand alot more abuse than the Cleveland block, and with good aftermarket aluminum heads and properly set up, the Windsor produces as much power as the Cleveland. Strange , though, the 351 Windsor was originally meant to be a truck engine , but as time went by , people saw the potential power it contained and started to build them up and stick into hot rods. A properly set up 351 stroked Windsor can run with the best of them.

I’m a four banger guy so typically when we throw 15 pounds of boost at something we make another 100-200 hp. So the fact that at only 6 pounds of boost you made 100 more hp is crazy to me.

I’ll tell you what I had this idea years ago after looking at those Chevy heads and being a Ford guy. I had a feeling those heads would go on a small block Ford. Dammit I should’ve went with that idea and actually made it happen! Glad you guys were successful to a fault. You can run that thing on 10 pounds all day long and it would be completely happy and probably live a nice long life in an engine bay somewhere. Good job.

[@jamesheichel9465]

It was pretty cool that a 30+ year old block never made for that power held it that long. 400 HP is on par with that block. However over twice that with turbos is definitely not what it was made to handle. But it was cool to see the power it did hold up to with a basically stock bottom end. Trying something different is what it's all about and the build was definitely different. 🎉🎉

[@robertmckee1431]

I love it. I do think Chevy copied Ford but not so much in just a copy. Chevy had to move to skirted blocks with 6 bolt mains because Ford had been there since the 50’s. ( the first LS block looks extremely similar to the Ford Y block.). Using knowledge is part of everything so they took what worked and implemented it in a new engine. Power wise on this engine AFR heads would have made more power with less boost so I couldn’t see this catching on but certainly awesome to see you do it.

[@SPAZTICCYTOPLASM]

Man when will you ford guys give it up? Toyota released a V8 with 6 bolt with cross skirt mains in 1989, and Mercedes and other guys have had in engines forever. the LS has nothing to do with the ford anything. And it's funny you bring up the Y block when ford abandoned as soon as Chevy designed the definitive small block, and ford created the Windsor which is suspiciously close to the sbc. The SBF windsor has so much more in common with the sbc than any previous ford engine.
