I can tell that’s gonna be a beautiful ride! The detail is awesome! That frame looks really good! So does the engine where you sanded it down and filled it with epoxy primer and such. Really good job. I’m tempted to paint my stroker that color! Here’s a piece of advice though; I know you want to hear it idle and all after you break the cam in but it’s really important to check the pushrods as soon as you’re done with that 15-20 minute run in. Shut her down, take the valve covers off, mark the pushrods, and make sure they’re spinning. Make sure you didn’t wipe out a cam lobe. Very important. Besides that it’s an awesome ride! Really cool!

[@pappabob29]

Sounds and looks AWESOME !!!! Just a "heads up" on the "Pertronix Flame Thrower". We built a similar engine (283 with a custom ground cam in a 57 210 Sport Coupe) and used the Pertronix Flame Thrower distributor and coil. Like you, started it and set the timing at 12 degrees with a "dial up" timing light. It ran great on the stand. In the car, however, it was having a really hard time getting the car moving from a dead stop. Once moving it was great. Originally thought the issue was a too big/fat carburetor so began a process of "tuning" the Edelbrock Performer carb. Edelbrock tuning kit, step up springs, metering rods, and jets leaned it down by +- 15 percent while bumping the timing to 16 degrees made it better but still not right. Ultimately installed a AFR gauge and verified our carb settings. Two months in, finally got the answer when I installed a "points" type distributor and set the timing. The issue about went away. Talked to Pertronix tech who told me "DO NOT USE A DIAL UP TIMING LIGHT WITH THE FLAME THROWER" !! The Flame Thrower creates a MSD (Multiple Spark Discharge) ignition that "fools" the dial up light so you aren't getting the advance you think. "Use a cheap (Non dial up) light to set your initial timing" !! I have mine set at 18 degrees (with no vacuum to the advance) and the engine loves it!!! Absolutely NO issues associated with the timing. New points and condenser with dwell set at 30 degrees so, for now, I'm keeping the points distributor. will change back to the electronic later. Again, just a "heads up" to try to save you two months of "hair pulling" !!

Hot diggitty that’s awesome!

Hahahaha thanks for the comment!!!

[@gregbowen9546]

Very cool!! Sounds good and looks like it's got alot of attention to details! It took me 7 years to build my 1966 nova so I know all the work and time will pay off. Can't wait to see it done.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Im doing a update video this week on the 32. Man i bet that nova was awesome 👌 thanks for your comment and support!!!!!!!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you!!!!!

[@marshallcahill4958]

I think that I purchased the same motor from jegs. Assembled in Mexico. For 1984 Chevy c-20. Original air cleaner had decal stating timing to be 4 degrees. New engine ran terrible at that setting. Reset timing by ear and ran better. The setting by ear threw the timing light way off. Engine still running good. Wish I would have purchased the cam you have. Motor sounds great. Gonna sound really good on street. Peace👍✌

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome thanks for sharing and your support!!!!

[@gordocarbo]

Engine came with instructions Im guessing? Hope you got a timing light on it, the by ear thing is never accurate .

[@ListerMotorsports]

You always need to keep the high idle up while the cam breaks in, fin awesome guys !

[@ACDesignsGarage]

We did, i just edited it out so i didn't bore everyone lol ,thanks for the comment!!!!!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

@Jeffrey Bamford you would be surprised lol 😆

[@barnabyjones5161]

2k rpm, which is the point of optimal oil flow.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

@@barnabyjones5161 I would say depending on the oil pump probably around 1500 to 2k rpm

[@Romanrootergarage]

How long do you keep the idle up while breaking in the cam ? 20-30mins

[@chevyrider247]

Wow sounds amazing

[@duaneschultz9230]

Awesome motor and an awesome looking frame for that car too. Cam did a great job of making a stock motor sound really beefed up. I like that galaxy great transmission of the motor. The frame looks really good too. God bless you and your family. Duane.

Thank you very much and I hope yall have a Blessed day 🙏

[@randyblackburn9765]

Man that thing looks and sounds great , been 2 years hope you got it finished and pops still around to drive it

[@ari1234.]

This is a master piece. I got a similar air cleaner . I was told to get one either taller filter or the ones with a filter on the top part.. to get more air into the carburetor. Your opinion. Take care!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, Ive heard that also but id rather look cool than have proper air flow lol

NIce - go as deep as you like on the tuning process: the thumpr is kind of wide for dual pattern cams, and with its larger duration [with a 107 lsa], alot of people stumble into tuning challenges that are unusual compared to other cams.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for the comment, dad just wanted a bump stick that makes a lil noise, we dont care about performance lol a stock 350 in a fiberglass car is a handfull any ways hahahaha

The neighbor wanted $350 for an 79' Oldsmobile Omega 4 door. I made $270 a week and said, this is all I have. He said O.K. if he didn't sell it he was going to enter it in the demolition derby. I usually name my cars. But I only called this one the, "Oldsmanova" I put three transmissions in it and one engine change. When I put the new engine in it it had at least eighty more horse power. I drove it for seven years. Some of the guys at the railroad said that I should put Harley Davidson stickers in the back window.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

That sounds like a cool ride!!!!

[@gordocarbo]

Not sure what the stickers would do. lol

[@tyrone5159]

Very nice build with a ton of work put into it. Looks like excellent craftsmanship as well. I just more of a traditionalist when it comes to cross breeding. Ive seen a ton of these old Fords with the bowtie engines. Good job on the build.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you for the kind words!!!

[@tyrone5159]

@@ACDesignsGarage absolutely! A lot of people don't realize the time and money it takes to make something that nice. It's been years of craftsmanship that you have been working on to build what you have now. It's not just what you have in the current project but the years and years it took you to get where you are. I for one appreciate the quality of your craftsmanship. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year

I feel the same way, I love that fast hitting sound. Thanks for watching!!!

[@gordocarbo]

Dont buy a cam based on some video! Get the proper one for your ride..most any perf cam will sound good . These are not efficient cams at all
