Assembling My Dodge NASCAR V8 (Part 2)

In this video I wrap up putting the top end (heads, intake, valley tray, carburetor, and distributor) on my Dodge R5P7 engine. By the end of the video it is ready to take to the engine dyno (sneak peek of that day at the end)!

Thank God a non LS build. Love this i am a Ford fan.

@@tomhamilton9140 the LS needs a small block to look up to haha. Funny that this engine is about 50% Ford based.

Good stuff. Friend of mine had couple pettys cup engines. I’ve got 3 of pettys nascar 426 hemis. Including the 64 Daytona 500 one. I just subscribed

Excellent detail

Sounds amazing

Wondering if y’all running the valve springs directly on the aluminum spacers / pucks, or is there a hardened shim? Tend to think they’ll be making metal, without the hardened shims.

[@moparmuscle8749]

@@georgedreisch2662 yes I believe I forgot to mention that. There is a hardened steel locator that fits under the spring and also registers the ID of the inner spring around the valve guide. Otherwise yes it would be making metal like in the video where I tore down the engine and the previous builder had used hardware store washers under the springs...

Blower?

Possibly in a future build!
