406ci Dirt Track Engine: Race Winning Horsepower with Cast Iron Heads - Engine Power S11, E13

[@mikegiauque3274]

I graduated from UNOH in 2010 with a HIPO/Auto/Business Degree, this is awesome to see! I remember Mr. Higgins well and I caught a glimpse of Mr. Lucius…brought back a lot of memories from Lima, OH! I’m an emergency vehicle fleet manager now but still love horsepower and watching yalls engine builds!

[@MultiKelly85]

That thing is a BEAST!!! We ran a 406 in a 66 Nova wagon. I miss that motor.

[@Kwaka28]

That 406 would be an absolute blast on the street with the right driveline combo.. ✌️

[@chrisedwards8391]

Engine power is by far the best PN show

[@stevansaunders18]

Sweet build! And great to see comments from former. And Frankie is “filling in his pocket”😂. Pat must be proud. Also Agee with others this is the best show ok PN.

[@dawsonbethke3460]

I Just graduated from unoh this year I know Nash and it’s awesome to see these guys on power nation

[@leoa4c]

Wow, the duration on that camshaft! Those lobes are massive!

[@Jay-fb2lv]

Pretty typical race cam

About 20 years ago now. I used those same heads on an approx. 420cid streetbound pump gas engine. It was a .040 over 2 bolt factory block. With studded mains and a partial block fill. Went with a 3.875 stroke Scat 9000 series crank, and their 7/16" capscrew 6" I beam rods. Speed Pro Hyperuetectic Street Performance pistons, with a TotalSeal gapless ring kit. Hydraulic roller cam and lifters from Comp. Believe it was a fuel injection friendly grind of around 240° at .050 with under .600" lift. Made my Burnt Orange '73 Nova sound pretty rowdy.

[@davidlsimpson22]

Enjoyed watching this one.

[@t0mn8r35]

Excellent engine build. Engine Power is my favourite channel. The engine is the heart of a car. The rest of the car is just there to hold the engine in place lol...

[@AndyFromm]

Sweet build 👍

[@davidortiz173]

These guys are going to be super competitive! I hope they win!

[@ar2043]

That was a good vid and build. Nice job everyone!!!!

[@leoa4c]

Great build!

[@georgew.5639]

It’s great if you can make more horsepower and torque than the competition within the rules. It’s even better when you can hook it up to the track better than the competition. Then use the entire package to win races. 👍

[@ryandaugherty1558]

Hell yea Bonk doin bad ass tv shit!

[@sstevocamaro]

I like the way they dyno’d this engine accessories and a mechanical fuel pump. Removing them would gain about 30hp or so tho.

[@nomore8042]

I'm a Veteran who would love to get these huge companies to sponsor my 1971 Corvette.

[@racerd9669]

Ya that engine must cost at least $4000.00

[@coryholbrook4643]

@@racerd9669hard to tell if that’s sarcasm or not but $4k would be cheap for any level build with all new parts these days. Four grand is so low it comes across as sarcasm. That block is $3800 by itself just for reference.

How did u get sponsored?

Putting the engine together looks like the easy part. Compared to making sure everything has the correct measurements to properly fit.

[@cw1824]

Amen. I do it on the daily!

[@Firstmajortomlikestoticker]

NICE !!!!!!

[@flinch622]

I do like the motown block, and the reason is the oiling system. Main galley splits out to feed lifter galleys at the same time [not sequentially], and... priority mains never hurt. But 75psi while priming... maybe the high volume pump was not necessary?

[@DMWatson-qc6mz]

...my thoughts exactly. We used to run a standard big block pump with a shortened oil drive shaft....and we would actually get great oil pressure. Then my driver got ahold of a "high volume" big block pump....and decided he'd like to try that. After grinding the gear off of the distributor and camshaft a few times from excessive torque on the engine...we definitely went back to a lower volume pump.

[@nfdbelgianmedic]

Pat looks like he want's to start throwing elbows with those guys.

I wonder if those rocker arms were offset or standard rocker arms

[@jackmullins1516]

[@michaelmeux4137]

Noticed every time there's a video you don't show the piston ring setup. Had a few people who helped me assemble engines over the years and they didn't know about the gap offsets/degrees from one another

[@wildcatgoated3305]

watching this in my dorm lol

[@cokdnlokd1238]

From first glance I thought it would be an old Ford 406 which was I think a Y block. My uncle raced one of those mid 70s at Albuquerque's Speedway Park which is the fastest 3/8 mile track in the world with 33 degree banked Coliche track. Lesser banked tracks do not compare with it.

[@chehystpewpur4754]

i clicked on this video for the alternator. i need one of those

[@oscarcabrera3478]

I also wonder why the water pump was taped for the violent out the block

[@leoa4c]

I assume that the cast iron heads are due to regulations?

[@Jtrudeauohn]

Did they pre-load those lifters?

[@yarrdayarrdayarrda]

A belt drive on the engine and you couldn't be bothered to change the cam timing to see if it helps?

[@chevyrc3623]

Do you guys have any cast iron cylinder heads around I have been looking for a set

[@brandonlittle6444]

Would love Holley and their 20+ companies to take product requests/ideas from outside their finance/marketing circle.

[@codydison4757]

My questions are, why change the firing order? And whats the cost on an engine like this?

[@coltonhurley2525]

15-20 grand

Cast iron isn't the problem, cast iron castings being piss poor is the problem.

[@coltonhurley2525]

Not only that but iron heads are getting difficult to get new

[@shaneshane1379]

That should have made 700hp or near it.

[@4door_twinksz]

Everyone looks robotic while talking and exposing about the parts shit creeps me out lol

[@TheRoguelement]

I don't care a whole bunch about what the mouth say's I look at what the hands do .Are the hands on backwards when holding tools are the tools used correctly . because 9 times out of ten 60% of these guys do not move on to become movers & shakers in the racing world .. They are what we like to call wannabees . Like the Dealership mechanic who throws a parts dept of parts at a car without fixing it

[@MachineDr.]

Why does this channel have trouble keeping talent?

[@mikerudolph9785]

Cast iron heads are garbage, dirt track racing is stupid. You put a good set of aluminum heads on this thing you will gain close if not 100hp and lose weight. But dirt track cars have so many rules cause they are a bunch of cry babies.

Real intelligent take, you sure do know how to let that be known

@JGsVideos they pay what $300 oh wow big money. You dirt track racers are a bunch of cry babies who when they don't get their way or get into a little bump on the track yall go straight for assault and battery on the other person. And if you win, that winnings has to go back into your car the next day cause tech tears the engine down to catch you cheating. Im not spending money like that the hell with that Yalls tech need to buy the gaskets or head studs and everything else that goes along with a engine tear down.
