One of my favorite channels on KZbin. It’s so good to see father and son doing things together that they love. Thanks Harvey.

[@marcduclos9789]

Hi Harvey, thanks for coming on and sharing some realy cool stuff.

[@theironhorse6600]

Hey Marc!

[@robsinclair1001]

Big block now you're talking, good to see you Harvey

[@afleetcommand]

Glad to see u still kick'in and having fun. You do race cars, I do boats for fun now, Mercury's the preference :) But not on video. Still doing saws just now more working them than building and vintage hobby vs. the cookie cut kind that simply doesn't fit my world. Hope you keep sharing these and it "shows" this is where your heart is.

Lookin foreward to watchin this build!

[@martyrutter3630]

Some highly technical skills you are showing. Amazing the precision workings of an engine, nice detail video.

[@scottwilson4396]

Going to be great to see this motor built father and son collaboration 💪🏿 pay attention Cullen Dad knows his stuff ❤

[@johnclarke8180]

Awesome Harvey, thanks for sharing!!

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

I thought at first you were gonna say you were building it for the dirt track car. Lol.

[@BobE.Dancho]

Good to see you back.

[@tennesseedave6771]

Looking good Harvey!! 👍 glad to see u doing alot better. Always love the videos

[@HayChaffandSawdust1]

Good to see you Harvey; does that require much clearance work for the crank-swing on the stroker? I put 1-1/2" of additional stroke in a Farmall H engine; lots of grinding; had to grind right through the oil journals and make copper pipe oil journals externally. Good stuff you're sharing!

[@robertdouglas3456]

Nice build Iron Horse! It should have plenty of horse power!💪💪🤩🤩

[@raygann5874]

Ironhorse I've been watching your videos on porting saws and I would like to know something about a saw I just got its all original its a sthil 056 super mag I have run saws a lot but I would like to know more about this saw

[@theironhorse6600]

Email me! [e-mail]

[@raygann5874]

@theironhorse6600 I would like to know a little more about my saw I have a still 056 Super Magnum horse power and how many cc it's an older saw all original with no chain break just a hand guard

Whatcha racing? Overbore and overstroke can be detrimental. The 454 is no race engine... It's a truck engine. Same as the Ford 460. There's a reason Chevy went to the 427 and Ford the 429 for racing. RPM is everything. Getting off the line, lifting a tire off idle, and exiting a corner are insignificant compared to longer shifts, and a higher (and subsequently smoother) power-band. Big intakes, high-flow heads, open headers, and good gears only get you so far. Torque gets the jump, but long horses win races. 700 horsepower at 7,000rpm is phenomenal... But 500 horses from 4,000 to 9,000 rpm is better. Shifting is slow. That's racing. Sprints... 1/8th mile drags... Sure. Torque wins. 502, 496, 527... They'd and do win. But the fastest, most consistent power, at a higher range is the 427/429/426. The 454 is a truck engine. Giant crank, slinging big pistons.. for low gear hauling... A 427 is a giant crank slinging small pistons. All the bottom weight, but substantially less resistance. Chevy only introduced the 454 to compete with the 426 and the 429. Yet was a slower. Hence the Beach Boys: "Heavy Chevy won't you get off the line"... Referencing that if the Chevy didn't get the hole shot, it was over.

[@Matt-416]

Addendum: Power adders such as a supercharger or nitrous system are absolute game changers... not to mention turbos.. that make even the biggest block engines feel small because of the increased RPM burst from varying compression ratios... Is a 383 stroker able to run with a 454... Not really... Kinda... Yes... But no. Remember when a 3.8l V6 twin turbo Grand National could beat a Dodge Viper 8.4l? V10? I do. But turbo that viper and then see what happens. Or a Ford 5.0l could smoke a Chevy 5.4l? I do. But put on equal intakes and cams... and see what happens. Light pistons are the way to go.... And I personally believe that a healthy 426 Hemi or a 429 Cobra Jet could spank a bored and stroked 502 in a similar weight vehicle with comparable aspiration.... Especially on a road/track racing situation.... Consistent power through longer RPM is key. Heads!! Exhaust!! Valve size!!. Compression ratios!!.. So much more going on than size.
