Chevy 350 Small Block V8 sound (After rebuild)

350 Chevrolet small-block has just been rebuilt and started up. Timing is still a little rough but it runs.

[@williamelliott3462]

Imagine putting a motor in a car with that distributor facing the wrong way so the vacuum advance is right up against the firewall good job

[@james-rk5sd]

He reving his newly painted motor nobody said he knew what he was doing🧐😂😂

[@4doorsmorewhores674]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! And no crackcase ventilation thats why the carb is running rich and shooting them flames

[@Dusty_Dirty]

I would say There’s a pretty good chance this motor ain’t going in a car. Probably being used as a power unit for irrigation would be my guess

[@stephenbuckland492]

Who would want an engine in all the primary colours? Blue block, red 180° out distributor, and yellow plug wires...

[@510DOEBOY]

Show us your motor build then..... We'll wait.....

[@robertjones6971]

Geez, distributor installation is top notch!😂

[@rosinsautofab1956]

Revs quick with no converter 👍🏻

[@justinjarflie]

No it still won't rev, that's what's funny! What about a whopping 160hp maybe😂

[@user-yr2vn4ml9l]

I love the way the distributor is installed 90 degrees off, may be hard to set timing this way in a car or truck.

[@walterwjr947]

Yeah, 90° not 180° or backwards, he can just move the wires, it will get there. I hope it is just timing and not a real valve problem. The pumps on that carb could nead a different cam. Is this the first crank up? He has no load on that engine, just the flywheel, I would just let it Idol, no revving at all.

​@@420PeterGriffinyou're wrong man. I have an entire junkyard full of square body's from the mid to late 70s that came with factory "GM Corporate Blue" painted engines. My best friend in high school got his grandpa's 77 c10 pickup that was bought new off the lot...he got it when he turned 16, it had 36k miles and the engine looked brand new....it was painted gm blue from the factory. He still has it and I actually rebuilt the factory Q jet last summer and it still has most of the factory blue paint on the block. It still only has 76k miles.

600 Is ok for you cruising your 302 mustang but it's been proven time and time again on the dyno 350s like 750s and the 400 makes it's best power with 830 cfm to 900. Ford may do fine but they don't make power and he painted it ford blue so I understand the mistake

Throttle all day. The crank doesn’t like slowing down without power and Gas. A 383 stroker idles so good.

[@lurebenson7722]

I have rebuilt 350's - 402's - 454's and now 1 - 383 and a 385 which is the 350-block bored 40 over so I would say I don't see any more future for me to rebuild any 350 when the 383 cost the same to rebuild as a 350 and the 383 has no comparison on power to the weaker 350. I only need a work truck engine so building race engines gets into big dollars but a truck engine for work and towing is no more in money to rebuild than the same uses for a 350

[@johndaroza2987]

Put the breeder on it so that you have correct vacuum.

To each their own. Its a motor, yep gets loud when you jam throttle. Could sound better, could sound worse. Can i really decipher anything from that, no. Seems low compression based on how slow idle settles down..

Haven’t had it on the dyno yet but probably around 250 as it’s more or less stock (only big difference is a better cam)

[@riffle8883]

Pretty ford blue

[@SGB123]

🤣

[@glennmanchester5696]

Stock cam and distributor is a tooth off and the thing is way over carbed see it shoot the raw fuel out that didn't get burned besides if that POS Holley keeps over feeding you will wash the cylinders and the rings will never seat that is no way to get the rings to seat and do a proper 500 mile break in anyway when it smokes like a train and runs like a dog remember this comment and the break in for not just the cam but the rest of it as well the old guys say to break it in like your gonna run it so there ya go are you gonna run it in short blips like that I assume not don't baby it but also have the right size carb on it as well that looks like monster on there take it off

[@SGB123]

The cam is slightly bigger than stock but more or less is, yes it’s not timed properly yet just waiting for a pointer so it can be done exactly. Would it not shoot out flames anyways with it being such short headers ? I agree on the carb it needs to be swapped, the double pumper carb came off of a drag car and we only used it to start it up for a minute and show it running, not to keep it on. Anyways thanks for the advice, Im going to get the corrections done and get the proper carb on there.

[@glennmanchester5696]

When it comes to timing don't worry about base timing focus on total timing of about 34 degrees btdc at about 2500 rpms all in set the distributor up to do that like I said base timing is nothing it's a baseline as long as it starts well and sounds happy base timing can be 22 or 25 deg it doesn't matter to get the best performance and best fuel mileage curve the distributor and get total timing in fast it will run great make sure you have good ignition components module cap rotor coil wires plugs etc and you won't have any problems with it more guys have said oh I need a new carburetor when it was all ignition issues and I've seen many hei distributors with stuck advance mechanisms too so many people leave so much on the table by not doing this basic stuff it's amazing it should like octane boost and w out it almost ping but not quite depending on compression ratio

[@SGB123]

Yep going to change out the old plugs anyway, one cylinder seems to be not burning as much as the others or it is out because the header has not got the colour like the rest. Could be the plug, wire or anything so I will probably end up buying new wires. It’s not been touched in a while so next time we get time we’ll have a play with the distributor to get it perfect 👍
