I bet you're right about the power gain from the headers being down low. it would have been nice to see the whole curve from the dyno test.

[@fabris4920]

No better way to end the day with a video from you brother . Love from Toronto

[@jordanwidelitz8093]

Hope you are doing well Jack . Good to see you !

[@TR.Pixels]

You should look into importing a Holden Ute in the future, it's pretty much a modern El Camino with LS or even a Buick 3800 (depending what year). Personal favourites are VS utes and VE utes.

[@WhuDhat]

There is a company that imports the bodies, hoonigan went through them for the one they built a while back

[@jdsbuilt9651]

You can import vn vp vg vs now which a 5.0 and or 3.8

[@colesteven1123]

3800 is the supercharged v6 they put i the Buick regal GS here in the states right?

[@TR.Pixels]

@@colesteven1123 Yes,it's naturally aspirated here in AU

[@user-iy6zn]

an AU falcon would be better ;)

[@OwlChapino]

Just commenting as I go, but the long tubes sound great! Also nice to see some moderate muscle on the dyno 💪

[@looking_33]

I’m kind of hooked on this series. Something different. 👍

[@JackCecil]

Thank you!

[@bartobuilt2601]

The results on my old cutlass were very similar after long tubes. the intake cam and valve train upgrades it was Killer.

[@therealboofighter]

Nice to see the gains, now for a new set of heads!

[@JackCecil]

Hell yea!

[@eddyf9559]

I bought those same headers for my Caballero Diablo. Just haven't had time to install them. You have a real clean ride. I love the look with those wheels.

[@JackCecil]

Thank you!

[@6gendj584]

Love this car..i just bought a 79 same color

[@carlosal1886]

Nice work,my 305 was fun with some no2

[@xXCigarXx]

Nice,I was wondering when we would get a video about the headers.

[@erickcontreras151]

Awesome video!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@scrilla2376]

Damn Jack that 305 barks now

[@JackCecil]

Not bad right?!

[@AITCH.]

Love the elco bro got one of my own ! It’s a 84 and I’ve been looking for a Someone who would build up the 305 while they got it.

[@bigphatty5298]

Great videos man

[@JackCecil]

Thank you!

[@sixesand9s56]

I'm loving the step by step upgrade and test videos. The 305s have 58cc heads with 8.5:1 CR right? Vortec heads would be a nice cheap upgrade but they have some where around 64cc chambers.

[@JackCecil]

Yea the vortex heads are a good upgrade. Trick flow makes a killer head also. I’d love to have those.

[@BigHeadBourbon]

nice gains so far on just a few humble parts

[@JackCecil]

That’s the idea. Easy and budget friendly.

[@billskalicky5400]

Stock 5.0 fox body mustangs were around 175 hp at the wheels so you are on track.

[@sote-z7776]

i really like this

[@julioorozco6635]

Hello, thank you for showing this video . I have a 1984 el camino with a/c. I followed you recommendation and purchased these headers.I couldn't do it 20 minutes like you guys (Lol) did. I have a problem and I hope you can help. The bracket that is behind the A/C compressor (that bolts to the head) ,I can't bolt it back because it hits the first tube of the header(driver side) . What did you do to overcome this? Did you cut the right side of the bracket to clear the first tube? Thank you in advance!

[@MollyDogsm]

Love these basic mods to a basic factory engine. The horsepower figures aren't huge but the 0-60 is really decent. With better tyres and and cooler weather I bet you'd be down at 6.5 seconds.

[@JackCecil]

Cooler weather is on the way! Let’s see what she does.

[@learningwithmela8438]

Well those fit on my 403 Buick LeSabre?

[@Chevyshow]

🔥🔥🔥

[@chuckswhip]

I hope the Buick t type is strapped on the lift !!!! Back end I’d now heavier then the front!!!

[@calebdavis4752]

Where did you get the dual snorkel breather?

[@sbcdime1]

I love what you're doing with this series but i really think it would be cool to see how cheap it can also be to do a junkyard 350 swap after you have reached the end of the 305 stuff just to see the difference in potential with an extra 45 cubes. Like everything you put into the 305 swap over to a junkyard 350. I know for a fact in my case i was able to make 300hp with a 350 that i had a total of $600 invested into it including the cost of the engine.

[@sbcdime1]

I could have made more than that but it was my daily driver at the time so i also wanted decent street manners. So i opted for a mild cam and sprayed it with a 125 shot at the track the 300hp was no spray btw

[@chettojeffrey]

Was the ac bracket a problem at all ?

[@Skormzee]

Would love to see a good tuner trial a throttle body efi kit like the holly sniper or edelbrok version etc

[@JackCecil]

I’d love to.

[@natepitchford6968]

I’d be curious what a valvespring/decent cam upgrade would do to the 305. Get her to rev to 6000

[@JackCecil]

Me too!

[@colegilbert3439]

@@JackCecil would be cool to do more budget mods like a summit cam shaft etc

[@RyanBooth3]

If you’re doing springs, may as well do 1.6 rockers as well. It should be a small enough change to not completely trip the computer up.

[@JackCecil]

The computer dies very little. As long as the sensors are there we should be good.

[@mK-lw4pi]

Was the rest of the exhaust custom made?

[@OwlChapino]

Damn, Jack uploading that late night snack lol

[@JackCecil]

I started uploading at 6pm. My internet at home is horrible.

[@OwlChapino]

@@JackCecil Damn, KZbin is slacking...I'm in the same time zone but didn't get the notification til 10 pm.

[@James-sir]

She might look better a little lower I’m more of the Monte Carlo SS or the Cutlas with the rally sports and the beauty rings but those wheels match the elcamino that you have on em it needs a little low

[@timothycooper1965]

What’s the sbc engine you have

[@Se7enthsonSS]

How hard was it to put them in? Did you go from top or bottom??

[@jmyd83]

👍

[@James-sir]

You have to keep going what was a oem upgrade back then can you use the Buick turbo or something?

[@JackCecil]

Lots of options. These Classics are way overlooked.

[@TM-jt3dd]

A nice 150 shot she whould be gunnin

[@Chevyshow]

Stall up to 3k then launch. Might drop a sec

[@300zxdriver]

Need to stop some of that wheel spin on the take off. Lower air pressure maybe and or pre..burn out before run. Might gain a couple tenths.

[@JackCecil]

Yea it’s going faster don’t worry! 😉

[@danielbass6348]

You should do heads and cam with efi

[@JackCecil]

It would definitely be good!

[@oscarvillarreal8951]

Are those headers still good? Have you seen or felt any defects?

[@JackCecil]

So far so good!

[@oscarvillarreal8951]

@@JackCecil I'm thinking of buying that brand on long tubes. Do they scrape the ground on your car and are they really hot?

[@OwlChapino]

I wish so badly you could tune my dad's 69 Camaro lol it would have so much more potential with your guidance. He sold the 489 that was in it (from when he used it as a drag car) and put in a 5.3 for it to be kept alive on the street because who the fuck can keep up with a drag car lol It's far too expensive. It rips as is but it needs a Jack tune.

[@300zxdriver]

Jack it looks like your just stomping the gas from a idle on your 0- 60 pulls. Why aren’t you foot braking it to get rpm up to 2000- 2500 stall before leaving? That’s has to make a difference.

[@brandonfloyd6321]

What ever happened to the rzr project? Took back apart?

[@JackCecil]

It’s sitting in the shop. I can’t find anyone local that can help with the bearing issue.

[@hyper8545]

Those 305s can get built up nicely my uncles made 490 hp with a few holly bolt ons

[@budbeardmctoken7495]

I'd pay to see that dyno sheet. 490 from a basic bolt on 305 is extremely hard to believe. Maybe with a power adder.

[@TM-jt3dd]

@@budbeardmctoken7495 yes very dont believe that I think someone fibbing to the kid ..maybe with a 200 shot 🤔

[@sanriosenpai3569]

Yea well my dads brother, uncle’s best friend his dads 305 made 700hp with full holly bolt ons.

[@hokirwinsor8775]

Na ah my cousins brothers sisters boyfriend's uncle has a 305 with 850whp full bolt ons.

[@gixxernut8021]

Jack buddy I think your money would be well spent on a 383 bottom end and a set of trick flow heads and you will see the big difference in performance !! Easiest way to get where you want to be!!

[@JackCecil]

I like the 305 though! I wanna see what it’s fully capable of with a stock short block.

[@gixxernut8021]

@@gixxernut8021 Jack's whole intention in the last 5 vids is to show that you don't need to throw power at a car to get it to go quicker.

[@xXCigarXx]

@@gixxernut8021 yeah,the whole point is its underpowered and he thought it would be fun to upgrade step by step and see what happens. I think it's a great series and shows some valuable lessons along the way. Keep it up Jack. You are right at the cusp. Let's see how far the ol girl can go!
