[@tackettshoh]

[@DonCrookwashere]

You're teaching method is on point. So many people are learning from you. Can't wait to hear it run.

[@tackettshoh]

Thanks Don! I appreciate that! Thanks for the support!

[@JerryMoody-vu7ut]

Ok we all know you’re not lazy by any means Look at all the cars you have saved for future generations to see and experience the old school cars That’s not lazy that’s telling it like it is and the way people at their own garages are doing it on most every build they do!!!

[@tackettshoh]

Thanks Jerry! I do my best! Thank you for the support!!

[@RandyColbert-bo6ny]

[@ricksoldcargarage]

[@freddiemoralez1536]

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

[@tackettshoh]

[@jerryferguson6606]

I little 406.I'll make a great engine for that Nova.We used to run the 406 is in our dirt cars back in the day.One a lot of races with them.Was now we used the big strokers.Can't wait to hear that thing.Run Steve.

[@tackettshoh]

I was running it today!!! Finished filming it. Will post Friday!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@allanmolitor2434]

I use those intakes on everything, love them for all around. Ps your distributer on the wrong side of the engine lol

[@tackettshoh]

lol!!!! No…… No it’s not!!

[@ratsrodsgarage461]

Good call on the pushrods. Another thing to add about roller lifters is ZERO cam brake in needed. That alone is a win lol. Man that block makes me miss my 400 that I ran in my El Camino. Nice video take care.

[@tackettshoh]

Good point. I’ll make sure I mention that in the next video. That’s when we will fire it off on the test stand!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

The brown dog was hanging on your every word with ears up, (s)he looked like they thought you were talking to him/her, hilarious.😁 I really like the Cloyes roller cam cover, it's a bit pricey but worth every penny.IMHO Have you ever tried one?😎👍

[@tackettshoh]

Yes actually the green Chevelle has one on it. It works well. The brown one is Oliver and he is a good boy. He has to be right by me.

[@edwardbloom3899]

I feel your pain, you should see my work bench. love your videos Steve.

[@tackettshoh]

It’s slooooooowly getting better!!!

[@sinkorswimgarage]

Steve, that's funny. I felt really old when I got to oreillys and they told me sbc are old, we don't Carrie that stuff anymore lol

[@tackettshoh]

😳😳 old!!!??? I couldn’t believe it. It’s probably the most common timing chain cover ever made!!!!

[@chrisrichards1339]

Enging looks good Steve. Looking forward hear it fire off. Wish i lived closer. I'd be interested in buying that '65.

[@tackettshoh]

Thank you!! I wish I could keep it!

[@earnestanderson83]

Great job.

[@tackettshoh]

Thanks Skeeter!!

[@andrewslagle1974]

Real nice setup there should run real healthy .The double pumper it will like ! Is it going to be a manual trans car ?Muncie would be nice, but i am a muncie guy .

[@tackettshoh]

This one is going to be a 3500 stall th-350. The other one is going to be a 4 speed Saginaw.

[@jerryferguson6606]

I suppose to say won a lot races

[@tackettshoh]

I figured that’s what you meant.

[@michaelmaher4328]

nice tech info tack. Ive got a strip dominator and need a port for a vacume line, should i drill a hole in the rear plenum? My quickfuel E85 850 doesent have vacume ports on the baseplate and i need a modulator and power brake lines. Does Oliver twist?

[@tackettshoh]

You should be fine with drilling and tapping an NPT thread there at the back of the intake. Start with a small pilot hole to guide you. Because it’s kind of a tricky spot to get at!! Make sure you do it off the engine and clean all metal chips of course. Good luck!!

[@michaelmaher4328]

@@tackettshoh Thanks Tack,

[@brentonk461ismylostaccount]

use a RPC Made in china China mate 10 points if you get the made In Taiwan one in the bin.

[@tackettshoh]

As long as the cam can’t walk I guess it doesn’t matter where the cover comes from…… 🤷‍♂️ but an adjustable one would be best…..
