496 bbc

[@ekitching]

Great work Nick! Love to see BBC builds. I have a set of 3994026 castings i think they are about the same as later 088 & 990 castings. They are dated early 1972.

[@dzperformance7360]

I don't know anything about those heads but Sounds like a cool build

[@57carl]

Took my 55 for a rip earlier, with the twin of this motor! Thanks Nick. Rock on!

[@dzperformance7360]

Rock on!

[@BigFun4Life]

Very nice solid build..Awesome street motor..Thanks for sharing your builds…..

[@dzperformance7360]

I appreciate you always joining in!! .Thanks for watching

[@mikechaney4583]

Hey thanks, keep the videos coming. I like watching them and seeing the info you share

[@stevenmcfarland923]

Always look forward to your videos keep up the good work

[@dzperformance7360]

I appreciate it!

[@dzperformance7360]

What I like about this off The shelf parts Combination, it will make around 600 hp every time with decent heads and intake

[@cashmoney3293]

I wonder how much extra power you would pick up with aluminum heads 🤔

[@dzperformance7360]

If all things was the same except the material the head was made out of I think it would be Very little

[@No1414body]

Pretty small cam, I run a bigger one in my 600 hp 427s, I like the torque of the 496, getting ready to build a 750 hp 496 with aluminum heads and a bigger cam, 4340 crank and rods, looking to turn it about 7500 with a solid roller

[@donwalsh7521]

Would like to see a tunnel ram on that combo some time, edelbrock street ram rectangle port. Thats what I have for my 496. With 242 248 112 melling hydraulic roller

[@gregleenyit]

That's a nice piece I like it a lot

[@timosracecars]

I'm surprised at how broad the power is delivered. 4500rpm torque peak and 6500rpm power peak. But it'll make for tonnes of fun in a street car 😃

[@Scubasteve22]

Hey Nick. Thanks for posting. This one seemed a little short on hp. wasnt sure if you said what size of valve..Anyway, next time you build one of these with a good set of aluminum heads, try a howards HRC-123505-10 HR cam... See if it picks up a little..Great motor as always..

[@dzperformance7360]

valve's are2.19/1.88

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

He said 2 times the valve size

[@Scubasteve22]

@@dzperformance7360 my bad lol..

[@dzperformance7360]

No big deal.I like visiting with you guys after I put out a video.Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting.

[@HighPoorformance_LuvTruck]

Hey Nick, thank you for all the old school Big Chevy Builds have you ran this camshaft in a 454 4"stroke or only 496s ?

[@dzperformance7360]

No thank you for watching my channel But to answer your question,, No , I have never ran it in a 4-inch stroke 454 ,this is going out on a limb but if you had the exact same combination I have usually found you can figure 1.1 horsepower less or more for every cubic inch . that would be highly contested by other people but it's awful close

[@dzperformance7360]

My little rule just applies to hydraulic roller Street Motors in that Realm

[@HighPoorformance_LuvTruck]

Appreciate the honesty it would serve to make sense it is 42 Cubes difference. Have you tested the Brodix BB2 Plus Heads?

[@dzperformance7360]

Howard's or clay Smith hydraulic roller lifters.I'll use GM. performance parts on the gyn 6 blocks YES ,It's like cheating, 496's crank it out.

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

I don't understand. You can port oval port heads and get same power in a 454 bored 60

[@dzperformance7360]

There's just so many variables that can make up for the cubic inch difference,, So the answers yes you can

[@dzperformance7360]

But if all factors are the same the bigger motor will always win

[@chevyfan82]

👍

[@turboboy-oq6xe]

Was this engine ran with hyd roller lifters or solid lifters tight lashed? There was no drop off after 6300 like normal hyd rollers. Nice combo

[@dzperformance7360]

You got me. I didn't mention that in the video.They are solid roller lifters tight lashed

[@dzperformance7360]

Good call

[@turboboy-oq6xe]

Thanks for info that’s a great combo, I am doing a similar engine for customer

[@andysteele4056]

Thanks for sharing. What do you think 781s with 2.19/1.88 with similar porting would do on this short block?

[@dzperformance7360]

2 or 3 less horsepower , 5 more foot pounds of torque everywhere

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

I agree

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Hey nick how do you like that camshaft I had the same one in a 383 but was thinking about changing the cam in my 0.60 over 427 I have a howards 235x241 618 lift on a 108 lsa the cam works really good I just don't care for the 108 lsa I do have a solid xr292r which I love that cam but I don't know if I want to run a solid roller in my street càr my motor is right at 10.7 to 1 compression it's got afr 265 heads do you have any cam recommendations? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@dzperformance7360]

The cam's okay for a generic just off the shelf cam , It's really designed for a long lifespan rather than maximum horsepower

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

@@dzperformance7360 thanks alot

[@msh6865]

Nick, what hyd roller lifters do you use in your big blocks? So easy to make power/torque with a 496 isn't it? 😁

[@No1414body]

Did you give cam specs? I was trying to listen but 8 was playing my guitar. Could you post cam specs in your more?

[@dzperformance7360]

There's a picture of the cam specs at the end of the video

[@No1414body]

@dzperformance7360 playing guitar have to stop that while I'm watching lol

[@DavidB7474]

600hp with 580 tq with that small a cam! And this engine is not even working hard. And yeah if you can build this much power with a 454 how come no one is doing it? This is so much better power than the 502 and 454 ho crate engines.

[@dzperformance7360]

I got a combination.I'm gonna drop on you soon if you got the perfect cam and set up.A 454 will do 600 horse
