408 SBC PROJECT SLEEPER: First drive in the 1967 Chevelle With

[@josephdavis6198]

A big Thank you to DV and Andy for helping make my little sleeper happen !

[@iblyles]

Tearing up the neighborhood streets in a killer sleeper Malibu with a built 400 SBC and DV onboard, what a day!!

[@josephdavis6198]

What a great Day for me having David onboard !

[@jeffwooton7138]

Exactly what hotrodding is all about. That car is simply beautiful.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

I agree... It's about having fun and ending up with what you want! Andy

[@garyhodges8173]

Single plane intake. Quadrajet. Yep, I’d immediately be very suspicious ! Great job! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@fortyshooter1]

I built a 415 small block Chevy for an elderly neighbor's 1972 Monte Carlo years ago before all the easy stroker kits came about. Ran the double hump heads 2.02/1.60 valves and a mild hyd. cam to go with the stock auto trans. Ran the rams horn exhaust manifolds with 2.5 inch outlets and a painted orange to look stock Edelbrock Performer intake with a Quadrajet carb. It would scare the hell out of him when he put his foot in ti! A nice torque maker it was! Fine looking and running 67 Chevelle your buddy has! Back in the late 60's a young guy had a yellow 67 Chevelle with the 327/350 or it may have been called the 325 back then and had the black steel wheels on it with a 4 speed. Ran right well for back then.

[@johnweaver8470]

I'm running a 400 SBC in my short bed square body with the normal upgrades, people tell me they have problems with the Head gaskets, I've had no problems it's a great engine in my opinion thanks for the video keep them coming

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

The 400 is a good engine! Once you get past 550-600hp they begin to have issues.. at least from what I have seen Andy

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

Nice ride, my '65 Impala has a 700R4 in it as well behind the sbc 383 I built for it, I love the way it runs. I went with an even smaller cam than the Chevelle's cam. But it still does 13.0s in the QM while getting 26 mpg on the highway traveling to the track with the converter locked. I believe I'll be in the high 12s when I replace the valve springs, it has the flat tappet springs that came with the Patriot Performance heads that are on it. It has a Comp XFI hydraulic roller cam with 202°/212° in./ex. duration at .050" .550"/.546" in /ex. on an 113 LSA with the called for 1.6:1 rockers that are rollers. Topped with a RPM Airgap style dual plane, the Weiand one. Is fed with a Holley 850 double pumper tuned for fuel economy. Went from the original 283 rams horn exhaust manifolds into 2" dual exhaust to 1 5/8" headers with a 2 1/2" X pipe system and didn't drop my QM times at all. Also it has a 3.07:1 12 bolt with a posi added. She runs on catpee 87 octane with no issues with the 9.6:1 compression it has. If I were to do this build again I would raise the compression to 10 to 10.5:1 and use 1.7:1 rockers with the proper valve springs. I installed this engine in front of the factory Powerglide and the QM times were in the 14.0s until I took out first gear at Lapeer dragway. Made it home with it but it was very angry in first gear. Installed the 700 and she went a whole second faster in the QM! It gets 20 mpg just putzing around town if I keep my foot light, hard to do when it's in 1st gear though.😎👍

[@BrentAllen99]

This engine combo is amazing! What a great upgrade idea for any car that came with a 305/700R4. This channel never disappoints, I have learnt so much from watching your videos. Keep up the great work!!

[@husqv5147]

She's a RIPPER! What a beauty!

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

One of my favorite year Chevelle. Killer Sleeper. Taking it to the streets, pedal to the metal

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Tim it's a fun Car, even though I'm diehard blue-oval but since I helped Joe build it I'm kinda partial Andy

[@etenterprises]

A healthy 400 SBC with an overdrive and big gears like that is a perfect street combo. We're building one now to look like a stock DZ 302. As for the tires/wheels I have seen some guy in the steel wheel group on FB making dog dish adapters for painted Weld Drag Lites that look pretty darn stock.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

That is awesome! Andy

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

Throttle response is excellent. Crazy amount of torque! Look out, Beemers and tuners! 😀👍

[@superfuntime3107]

I have that exact same VDO tachometer. Works great very accurate. Iv'e had for over twenty years at least.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

They are cool tachs! Andy

[@Orygunner67]

Nice dual wheel peel at the end! 😎

[@rickyfulks6656]

She's sweet,my favorite year.Most everyone prefers the 70 or 71

[@MH-53E]

Yea, those slicks completely give it away, or at least would make a smart man think twice...Next we need a time slip to tie it all together!

[@captainrawn]

I worked hard in my life and am fortunate to own a few old Muscle Cars now. One of them is a 66 Malibu SS with a ZZ 383 and a 5 speed Tremec TKX in it. The car is painted 76 Corvette bright yellow so you can see it from the moon. With Flowmaster 40s you can hear it coming for miles. I love cruising the back roads around home just like your doing there. Your red 67 is gorgeous and it is high on my want list in that color combination. Very cool that you were hanging out with those guys!

[@laurenceschnieber5370]

It looks stock but because I know what it is the carb spacer catches my eye

[@BigfootsnMopars]

Stunning ✨ and I love the sound of a Quadrajet too! 🦶🏾

[@MarineGrunt]

I love the look of the engine compartment ...but it wouldn't fool anybody but a car salesman . The whole thing is just gorgeous . Well done on all counts !!

Thank you Sir

That QJet makes it for me. Someone did a nice job on that transmission build.

[@josephdavis6198]

Dean Oliver is the man on Q-jets

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Tony Miller is pretty good! Andy

[@bcbloc02]

Its a fantastic looking car. A stock air cleaner and some sharpie action to black out the M/T and you got a bonafide sleeper. 🙂

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

It's an awesome ride! It really moves Andy

I'd love to see details on DV's work on the manifold turtle.

[@pete540Z]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage Thanks, Andy. What did you use to make that turtle out of, and how durable is it?

[@scottk5209]

Just think what the torque would be with that engine if it had a David Vizard spec’d 106° LSA cam instead of the compromised present 110° LSA cam. His 700R4 wouldn’t last very long!

[@joe-hp4nk]

You couldn't ask for a better street car. Well done.

[@rong4189]

Really nice Clark Kent idle too.

[@65sohc]

Andy, you seem to have more experience with Progression Ignition distributors than most on KZbin. It would be great if you would do a video incorporating David's knowledge of ignition timing applied to the Progression distributor and show us the timing map you come up with. I know you've done some full power dyno tests but a full street drivability tune would be very interesting. I've already created my own and would be interested to see where I went wrong and where I nailed it.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

I talked to Joe about that and that is exactly what we are going to do. Thanks Andy

[@tomschultz2833]

Sweet car!!!

[@jasonspringer8651]

The Silver Bullet on the M1 is actually more of a sleeper, if ya'll wanna go by the sound of the idle.

[@stevewelborn8744]

With the tires that are on the car for it to break the tires loose from a roll that engine is very strong.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Yeah if it had regular street tires it would spin for days... Lol Andy

[@reason2gether]

Very nice! Beautiful car and it runs great! I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. Does it have a flat tappet cam or a roller? If a flat tappet, can you share what steps were taken to minimize the possibility of lobe failure?

[@gordongrimes2797]

WOW!

[@robinarrington5498]

Put some black Taylor plug wires on it to help with the sleeper effect.

[@josephdavis6198]

That's going to happen !

[@richard9436]

It needs full hubcaps to complete the sleeper look.

[@hotrodray6802]

Unless it's a late night street racer ... I'd do my favorite wheels. Nobody would think that's unusual on a nice 67.

[@dakotastimeout2827]

Awesome! That car has everything you want. What kind of transmission does he have.

[@josephdavis6198]

700r4

[@infamousnova]

Love it

[@95Sn95]

Sleeper? Those sticky Mickeys kinda make it look like a sleeping bear.... With a 408 Does that Qjet run out of fuel ever under power? I will say its beautiful and does look like some ol boomers cruiser not a street fighter. I would be in my glory having a legend like DV in my passenger seat complimenting my ride.

Yes

[@therory6888]

Thanks for the video. And very nice car. Wasn’t there plans for another cam change? As the cam was very small/conservative?

[@hk45c62]

The only people you're fooling are the uninformed. The HEI distributor and a single plane intake are a dead giveaway. I helped a friend build a 66 Chevy 2 Nova in the early 90's. The motor consisted of a 2 bolt main 400 Small block, a Lunati forged 3.48 stroke crankshaft with 400 main journals, Carillo rods, Ross flat top pistons, Total Seal rings, a custom ground hydraulic roller cam with a .050 duration of 222 degrees intake and 238 degrees exhaust. Valve lift was .565 intake and .580 exhaust and a 106 lobe separation angle. The heads were World Products 200cc Intake ports and 64cc chambers with 2.02/1.60 valves with Comp Stainless 1.5 ratio roller rockers. The intake manifold was a GM Performance cast-iron version of the Z28/LT1 design, with a Q Jet flange. The distributor was an MSD, with the black, points style cap. Topped off with a Q Jet from a 396 BBC and a factory 327/350hp air cleaner. The heads and intake were ported together by Extrude Hone and flow balanced. This engine combination, with PowerGlide/ Gear Venders and a 12 bolt rear with 4.10 gears went the best of 11.35 at 118mph.

[@hotrodray6802]

HEI is no big deal. Most drivers have been upgraded. Nobody would be surprised. Many would miss the single plane.

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage sweet, I loved seeing it. You guys mentioned how tight it drives, does it have tubular control arms/coil overs etc? I just made the change on my 72 CHevelle and it made all the difference in the world.

No Sir@@cuzz63

[@65sohc]

3400 RPM at 70 mph with overdrive? That sounds like 1:1 3rd gear, not OD 4th.
