5.0L FORD VS 350 CHEVY VS 5.3L LS-MEGA POWER CAM SWAPS! WHICH MOTOR MAKES MORE HP WITH A 224 CAM?

[@bluecollarhotrods9781]

I miss those old Crane grinds, I wish someone still made them. I had their 228/236 in my Z28 Camaro, and their 234/242 in my SS Camaro. Both put down great power.

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

We ran the Crane Fireball series and the Saturday night special series (meant for oval track and worked great for street hotrod(had a pretty tight LSA for midrange torque)

[@MrsSunshine75]

@blue My old Crane 252/262 fireball II cam sure has been good in a 427, I just put it in a 454 but haven’t run it yet!

[@timmcooper294]

It's really nice to see tests on real world versions of these engines that anyone can afford to replicate, I like that all of them were running stock heads, stock displacement, no exotic top end parts. Really good info! Looking forward to more tests, especially the oddball engines, but I love this garden variety stuff too.

[@terraboundmisfit]

I am still trying to figure out the real point to this video?

[@timmcooper294]

@@terraboundmisfit Just a comparison of how some popular garden variety engines in basically stock form respond to a similar spec cam swap. Really basic stuff that is often overlooked in these bling bling spend spend days of huge numbers..... I'm one of those guys who chops up, welds on and machines major engine components for Frankenstien combos, machines his own chromoly axles, builds foundry patterns to cast custom wheel hubs and steering knuckles, gear cases, ect... But I also appreciate the basics and don't disrespect......

[@Johnson-uy9xq]

Good test. I've said it for years. There all air compressors. LS make power simply because the oem head flow great. Put a like flowing head on the sbc and the sbc and it'll also do similiar power.

[@rksg2003]

Richard please put the low buck on Black Friday deals I will buy 2 cams plus springs and lifters for one engine..

[@timweb1510]

I respect and like a car guy chasing deals 👍

[@richardholdener1727]

it is

[@KimiWallrus]

Love the direction

[@roknroy1]

All in the heads and lift… I’m building a flat tapper old shool sb Chevy I think the ls is ugly compared to a sb Chevy with a tunnel ram!

[@teagreen2220]

Looking forward to installing a TSP 224R in my L96 LS in a couple weeks. Can’t wait to see the gains over stock.

[@racerd9669]

Them Dart Buick heads make great power. ?????????

[@rehn1kri]

Richard, your comment about ring gap made me think of something. Have you done a test on how ring gap affects horsepower? We understand the extra safety that comes with gapping for boost etc, and the possible effect on oil consumption, but what about horsepower changes? Thanks.

[@rono3045]

Should be a 351 w vs 350.. Chevy always gets the bigger displacement not fair

[@nicolasdeleon2819]

It wasnt a true comprison of which is better. Just what's possible with common junkyard motors and mild cam upgrades. Since its also not fair that the 5.3 has such a huge head advantage and better EFI intake, stock.

[@stevenallen4123]

Being a Chevy man. It kills me to see the coyote making more power

[@SH-fr2xm]

It’s a fair trade since we have the best after market support and cheap parts galore. My cousin has a 60’s f100 that had a straight six and he wanted to go coyote but the engine itself was more than it would cost to get a 6.0 lq9 with installation included.

[@Jane-justjane]

@@SH-fr2xm this is not a coyote..

[@terraboundmisfit]

Get used to it bowtie boy. Truth is, 4 small valves per cyl. flow way more than two large ones. Also an OHC valve train is way more stable than a pushrod valvetrain, and it places the spark plug in the center of the combustion chamber similar to a "hemi" style cyl. head. As i'm sure you know, the cylinder head is where the HP happens. That is why the c8 is packing a Coyote copy! Power By Ford!!!

[@SH-fr2xm]

@@Jane-justjane I know I’m just saying across the board all ford engines will be more expensive in comparison to Chevy sbc sbe & bbc because of the crazy aftermarket support and the tons of engines GM manufactured and still is manufacturing.

[@The0utmode]

SBC for life!

[@grandmasmalibu]

I know that (Gen 1) SBC "stock" cam you are referring to. They refer to that as the "peanut" cam. It's tiny and pathetic. Not surprised you got the gains you got with almost ANYTHING other than that, especially with decent-flowing Vortec heads.

[@robbobsjobs8456]

I have a 95 and 2024 5.0, I'm ready to mod!!

[@Sam-dl3js]

I came from OHC engines- it seems like OHV engines run less duration but way more lift. Is that gorrect?

[@nitro1271]

What's the biggest cam you can run in a 5.0? I have an old 1990 mustang, just looking for a little something more than what it has for weekend riding

[@ZboeC5]

Might as well do a whole top end kit and pick up 100+ hp. Just a cam swap isn't even worth the labor if you want more hp.

[@Kyle-pl6rl]

You could change the rear gear ratio if you haven’t already.

[@triplestangman]

plus one on rear gear dump that 3.07 and get a 3.55 it's a whole new car

[@meangenevstheworld.7773]

Why use a 302 ci motor against a 350 ?

[@martyjohnsonozarkoutdoors8198]

I didn't get that he was pitting them against each other. I think he was just showing what a difference a good cam could do on a 302 a 325 and a 350 cubic inch engine. And showing that the ls heads, even in stock form don't hold back power potential as much as a stock 302 or 350 head. If the 302 or the 350 had a good set of aluminum heads on them that flowed comparable to the 5.3 head. They both would have had bigger gains in power and probably at higher rpm.

[@karlsracing8422]

Need to do a 273318 magnum or LA

[@ztwntyn8]

I e read that a 5.0 fox engine has short rod ratio and tends to want a head that flows is more important on the 5.0 than say a longer rod ratio Chevy or like me Pontiac 6.6” and not the best heads ever just made lots of torque. I’m wondering most about rod length here but I read not a pro 👊🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@richardholdener1727]

every motor wants head flow

[@erickbernard8208]

All head flow

[@rickbutcher3459]

Looks like the website is down.

[@richardholdener1727]

down?

[@nbgreenmachine5228]

Would love to see this be done on the old Mopar Crate 360

Chuck Norris. Not Truck Norris lol

[@ragtopdeluxezl1]

lol... The Truck Norris cam...

[@ZboeC5]

You really showed us with your bottomless depth of knowledge...oh wait...no. Truck Norris cam is definitely a thing. Shows how much you know.

[@brentgrimes5353]

I don't understand where You get these crazy non comparable ideas. OK now let's comparable gm 305vs 351c 4v vs 7.3 godzilla 224 cam .

[@ijmodified]

The comparison isnt about which engine made the most power, there is no winning engine Its about limiting factors of engines Of he had a stock 351 with 224 cam he probably would've used it

[@LucianMul]

Most common engines it's just showing how much a mild cam can add.
