Pat: *nerding out over engine tech* Jimmy: "uh huh. yeah."

[@joepellish5380]

I was thinking that he has no clue what Pat was talking about every time he brought it up LOL

[@jeffreyjohn2037]

He needs more pens

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

this $27,000 big block is perfect for this project....

[@Shane-Singleton]

$27,000 engine. $700 roached and rusted out squarebody wrecker. What's not to love? lol. Seriously though I do like that project idea. Nothing I'd ever do but when somebody else is paying for it you can afford to do the goofy stuff. I've got a few squarebody Chevies myself but they're all bone stock.

[@brandoncherry1651]

I love these guys budget builds reason why I dont watch anymore

[@rgbigdog]

632 Long block from Blue Print Engines is $12,499.00

[@hawkdsl]

@@rgbigdog Someone always complains about the price of the projects. *Always*. Just ignore like most of us do.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

@@hawkdsl Only when they claim it is supposed to be budget friendly. This is not the case. Otherwise yes. I would mock them for making that claim.

I would not let Chevrolet TOUCH my Chevrolet ! Evan know it's all about a Ford ever since I started watching these guys !

[@swampcritterisbackbaby1740]

I know everyone loves to see peak numbers from the dyno but having the torque levels at highway rpm 1800-2300 would be really helpful on street builds.

engine power and Detroit muscle are my favorites (pat and mike on engine power) provide the technical aspect. tommy and marc are entertaining. Truck Tech is cool too.

[@cainjorgensen5237]

Hehe

[@LukeEdward]

Let’s be honest, some may balk at the general change in episodes, and the interaction, and dynamic... But these are good episodes. The Carcass guys are getting into a great stride after a few stumbles early on. The Engine Power guys are getting more personal, more “Every Day Guys” and the dynamic is something we all would love to have. This is good entertainment, Thanks #Powernation

[@bsfunk44]

$15k motor is perfect for anything it'll fit in..

[@brainstorm4207]

exactly, they just had this in the "archive" . this dude doesn't even have to wash his hands after building an engine. Not the typical engine build for the average guy lol

[@P71ScrewHead]

it'll fit in a Miata, i think the Coyote is physically bigger n wider than this BBC.. n BluePrint Engines sells one starting at $10k-$14k..

[@Coalblack79k10]

Mikes been around for years he can’t get a word in for pat 😂 👍

Nothing folds as easy as an old Chevy truck hood lol

[@kassenz]

We are living at great times! Way more power than the 1960's "muscle car era" and we get to enjoy this before the Electric age mandates and everything sounds like a vacuum cleaner

[@gregbjelland4754]

have a 509 BBC and I was amazed at the fact that work ethics matter and transparency still exist. I've got 27g in my life long rebuild of 78 4x4 and well it has been a little over the 3 rebuilds none of these where my fault and happened in the first 7500 miles . wow nice build guys ty for the build . Should have had mine done by yo all........ kinda have gotten a little bit of a bitter taste to even go any further. But if I don't quit so easily. God bless and tyvm.

This is exciting , small camshaft for the intake and exhaust valves it's all about timing

[@americansmark]

Pat knows more about engines than I know about cars in general.

[@mikespillman3075]

Love it, hope this project goes all the way....unlike another tow truck build that kinda disappeared mid build.

[@stephen5078]

I would pay to see Pat and David Freiburger have a nerd off on engine builds given how knowledgeable they both are. Roadkill + POWERNATION collab? 🤤

[@samthelegoman3990]

They’d start talking in depth about rod ratio, and cam timing, and alternate firing orders and blow everyone’s minds

[@maxwolthuis]

Love pats crazy dyno eyes

[@jussialanko6597]

This calls for a twin turbo setup. Two mid size turbos and 20psi boost wakes this kind of an engine to a monster that u can barely drive... :D

When you changed pistons in the 632 did you need to re balance the engine , or were the pistons the same weight ? thanks , nice build as always .

[@bigredracer7848]

[@ClydeRBowne-rq5gx]

How about some dual smoke stacks , like a semi. Hook up the nitrous close to the end of the stacks! Good flame effects while on the drag strip!

[@user-un1sh8xh5v]

Oh hell ya 632!!!

[@jeffrey4547]

i got a 327 that is running 12.5 to 1 compression with 92 octane pump gas with no problems it was built by old man bell just for street racing on pump gas but there is a lot of money in it and it was built for high rpms . my tak only goes to 13,500 rpm's but i had all most back too 0 i would call it about 15,000 rpms in the mid 90's i was the fastest pump gas no nitro car in my area right now i'm building a stroked 454 with hemi heads going to run tunnel ram with about 12 to 1 but the engine u guy's built is a very good engine it will last a long time for the money and they will be very happy with it . i retired the 327 that old man bell built when he died just because he told me that this was the craziest 327 he had ever built for pump gas and the engine still runs today but sits in the shop on display

[@kerrymonroe9059]

As an engine builder for 45 years and a jet engine mechanic, would you please remind people to blow out all cavities with compressed air including the crankshaft. This ensures your getting any debris out and the air you feel reminds you that oil can freely flow through that cavity, orifice or oil galley.

[@kx454]

As an engine builder of 45 years, you'd think you would know the correct term is oil "gallery", not galley.

[@kerrymonroe9059]

Conveying the the message is the point, not spell check. Some say galley others say gallery. Oil passages are in a line thus a galley.

[@bri-manhunter2654]

Kerry Monroe. Savage!

[@iBarber504]

Kerry Monroe Thank you! People missing the whole point. Right on !

[@mchristr]

I'd put way less camshaft in to build monster midrange. Forget the nitrous; you don't need it.

[@leobuckey]

For sure, it’d be cool to just see it as a sleeper tow truck. No need to take it to the drag strip.

[@harryguy76]

Would be better for the street and less wear and tear on the valve train with less cam lift...and less rpm for less stress on the rotating assembly...which equal better reliability and longevity......especially on a stroker big block...

[@joepellish5380]

I think they do stuff like this just because. But your exactly right I think. Nitrous is not needed at all and is a waste in my opinion.

[@HorsepowerHeadquarters454]

[@zedee2000]

very nice build. To save time and money. I believe I would have just bought blueprint 632 with 815 horsepower and 800 foot pounds of torque. I would have installed a 15 degree timing knob so if it starts to ping and pop pull timing out. I did this in my street and strip car works great!

[@UncleRico371]

I think it would be cool if they did some some things with the guys out of the shop. Things like what they do outside of the job, some projects they are working on personally, just how they are outside of the show

[@columbusindianaphilharmoni8486]

Would love to see stroked and bored big block Cadillac in one of these old wreckers

[@jerryhayden8720]

👍 I like it. I have a GMC 7000 farm truck that's got a 454 in it and I'm thinking real hard about turning it into a big pickup truck and it would really be cool to put a big monster in it like this 632. I bet it would be cost prohibited for my budget. I'm sure it will be much cheaper for me to use either a turbo or a supercharger. 632 would really be cool though. Great video.👍

[@wickertwm]

That engine too nice for the tow truck

[@davenevarez4738]

Sweet!

[@Rupperkus]

Looks like the timing hit a sweet spot! If I had this engine in a street car I would leave the nitrous though, great build!

As much as I like turbos and to a lesser extent superchargers, huge n/a displacement is cool sometimes, too. I had a f350 dump with a 460, had great tq down low, great for working it. 6 mpg wasn't so great. My 7.3 ps easily gets double the mpg, and sometimes triple on hwy, dead honest. 460 almost made as much tq tho.

[@matthewskaggs3792]

It’s hard to watch this after watching engine masters, they made 1039 n/a with off the shelf parts, and about 50 less cubic inches, now to be fair that last number was race gas but they had already made just a little over 1000 HP with pump. But I get it they wanted torque....

[@Taterhead3e]
