[@PalmerGulch]

Great job getting it to turn over on first crank then running...The run stand you have is a must-have for new engine builds, glad we all got to see it in action.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you for watching!

[@frecheewhite431]

Beautiful, that smokey engine somehow belongs in "The Big Stink ". Hot Rod

[@Torquemonster440]

I run the same 850 Annular booster double pumper and Trickflow intake on my 505ci Big Block Mopar stroker. I'd swap that cracked bowl and get that Annular carb dialed in. It is a FANTASTIC street carb. Those carbs atomize fuel very well and help torque production down low espically with a single plane intake. Engine sounds great btw.. Nice work ! 🍻

[@55gaser26]

Same here , the new kids don’t do there carb research and do the do diligence on carb tuning .

[@55gaser26]

You can’t change the needle and seats on the side of the road on injection your stuck.

[@scottphinney8011]

Great video, thanks for bringing us along

[@jessesager9460]

It’s a runner!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Great job you two!

[@rickyestes7477]

As an old car guy that really don't feel like working on cars anymore I love watching you two do it it feels a void in my soul

[@bobroediger6121]

Great job on getting that big block fired up! Looking forward to your next step in the build.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you!

[@JADENDOUMANINCB]

That was Amazing you guys do incredible work. Thank you for doing what you guys do.

[@Anthony-ue4zm]

sounded absolutely GNARLY!

[@elijah2078]

For me, nothing sounds as good as a big block Mopar. I can't wait for that engine to be sitting in the Charger!!!

[@randyfehl6920]

It's definitely a lean condition, especially for those headers to get that hot that quickly and 512ci needs no less than a 950cfm ,1050 dominator B best.....sweet deal 👍😁👍

[@GodisgoodLeoIneke]

Awesome job guys💪that will look amazing in the charger♥️✌️

[@sampson7941]

There is nothin like start up on an engine you put together yourself. Good stuff

[@OdySlim]

Fine job! You two work really well together. Regards from Ody Slim

[@aftertheendtimes]

Congrats to a awesome build, sounds massive love cheers ❤️👍🙏

[@larrybolin9372]

That 512 sounds mean and will make your Charger extremely Gnarly . Great job on the build.

[@OneManGarage]

So excellent y'all kiddos... Your channel is so relatable and fun

[@octanejimmy]

#MOPARLife cant wait to see this thing go down the road! Keep up the hard work..

[@trevorupton6904]

Sounds awesome 👏 great job guys 😮😁

[@HansenSpeedShop]

Sounds pretty healthy! awesome to hear it run and great video guys!

[@TheSaxon25]

Sounds like a beast!! Congrats 🍻

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thanks Saxon!! 😊

[@sporty196071]

You put it on the run stand backwards or the headers could have been switched. You moving fast and making great progress.

[@waynekerrgoodstyle]

Fantastic job, Keep it up! 👍

[@keithcavaliere8210]

beautiful. sounds strong

[@terrellpettijohn3952]

Good job on getting the engine fired. Before final install in the Charger, you may want to think about replacing the bolts on the exhaust headers and carb mounts with studs so you don’t end up pulling the aluminum threads out of the aluminum.

[@garrettfrancis1429]

Congratulations on the first fire up, the motor sounds awesome , and I'm sure it sounds better in person. Also I have seen were people swap sides with the headers so they would face away from you, not sure if you can do that with yours, but anyways, great job!👍😀

[@79tazman]

Fun times with Holley carbs LOL! You gotta love a holley carb that has sat around a while and go to use it and it drips fuel out of every orifice

[@kurtweems7000]

Sounds Great !!!!!

[@garywilson12]

congrats on the BB512 start up, sounds great, iam sure a bigger carb will do the trick

[@terryeustice5399]

Running congratulations 🎉

[@timsacco6g694]

Frigging awesome! 👍👍👍

[@maxmillion4216]

Sounds great.

[@55gaser26]

Great stuff guys , you have a vacuum leak somewhere or carb mixture screws need to be out further , first thing check your float levels. Don’t give up on that annual Booster carb Change your Bowl out set your float levels properly I’ve ran one for years on many big blocks.

[@darwinfoster7420]

Next time instead of buying that overpriced starter just get one for magnum engine 94 up much cheaper and will spin a 14 to 1 bigblock over with no problems . I use them on all my mopar builds .

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Noted!

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

I don't currently have a mopar- but noted- great tip.

[@TheHord]

That's a good idea using the lift. Seeing it come together step by step has been awesome! Glad the engine stand worked out. Is that maple syrup your pouring in there Danny. 😂 😮 💩 moment 😂, close call, but you guys got this, forget those old fitings, sorry Danny, they looked cool though! Carburetor master to the rescue and win! Sounds Gnarly, wow! Can't imagine being right next to to it! Thanks for sharing the first start up, thrilled it worked out and look forward to more updates and progress! 🍻

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thanks Brian!!

[@randyhoepker5528]

Success! When it’s timed and set up right, you are going to have a literal blast with that engine in the Charger! Woo hoo!

[@matthew-lh3zx]

❤ Congrats!

[@user-mi2wg9sh6c]

sounds like a large bore and stroked chrysler big,big block. recommended for that thunder struck is a 950 brawler or holley hp 950. hook that sucker up to a big ass radiator and keep er cool. awesome thundering sound. i can feel it in my soul!

[@palmergaylord1090]

It sounds really good guys all that hard work is paying off change those bowls on the annular I think you'll be in there

[@mzaccagnini7179]

Awesome job. Of coarse it had to be raining. BUT THATS GOOD LUCK!😊

[@211on_dat_ass]

That thing sounds like it wants to be unleashed can't wait to hear it idle

[@melvinrawlings1457]

U could of turned the headers the opposite way. Great content. Much love from Maryland❤❤❤.

[@baldhead7705]

Been nice to have got a clean idle for everything break in being the first startup.

[@hectorraigosa7149]

Late comment.. I had the same issue with Carb on cold start, changed to higher pressure fuel pump..blam issue resolved

[@dthanson56621]

Make sure you don't let the engine idle,you should run it at 2500 rpms right away,for about 20 minutes or more,to break in the cam or you can damage it

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Luckily it's a roller cam

[@dthanson56621]

Some say you don't need to on a roller cam,but many believe you still need to .I wish you luck,the choice is yours.sure does sound strong!

[@Cradletothegrave67]

Outstanding Guys !! Is that the clean carb in a bag ?

[@gordowg1wg145]

Nice stand, but I'd suggest swapping the exhausts over so they exit away from the operator - a/ it will reduce the noise level, b/ it keeps the hot exhaust manifolds and c/ hot exhaust gases away from the operators legs If a Mk 2.0 version is made, if the engine is reversed, and a radiator, with draw through fan, is fitted below the test panel, it would allow longer running at higher rpm, for things like bedding in flat-top lifters? Also, some engine dyno's are set up so engines can be fitted into a cradle and quickly slid into, out of, the brake' - if the dyno' you're looking at using is set up like that, have a word to the owner/operator if they will give the details like crank' centreline height, clearances, etc, that will allow one's own stand to be a straight fit.

[@tmpsg]

Nice Big Block!

[@briansummers8030]

Open up the idle mixture screws a little. Great job, it sounds good !

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Yes replace the header bolts with studs thats what i have on my afr heads on my big block not only will it keep from pulling your threads out of the head but also you get more clamping force on your header flange no leaks.that is the only thing i dont like about aluminum heads i think they all should have Healey coils in them.

[@lloyddowns9481]

I've used intake bolts to lift and install a motor

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Great job guys! You have a good start there! It looks like you just need a better fuel delivery setup. Those don't come cheap. I know you will get there soon though! Well done! Hey Brawler Carbs! Are you guys listening? These guys could sure use one of your 950 CFM units! ;-)

[@steveduleck5125]

Hi, When I rebuild Holleys I always bench test with a small electric fuel pump, and set the float levels check for leaks, Btw Danny, you cracked the bowls on that first carby with the wrench, there isn't much movement with the wrench then it contacts the bowl and ...

[@jamesthetford2516]

Can't wait to hear it with a good carburetor on it and maybe a small Muffler I had a 383 one time I had 13 to 1 compression and I had to go to Austin Texas and I p Fulled around and let it freeze and bust it broke my heart

[@davidowen888]

I second the fuel injection 👍lol, 👁 dig it though ! Rum Runner gonna be beastly 💪

[@jrehtil1494]

Bad ass!!!! That thing is gonna lay it down! Great job guys, fun to see all the hard work coming together.

[@vborg001]

Awesome job!!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thanks!

[@gimmieanr]

i would use a dual plane intake for street

[@tlr-nut7275]

With 512cu.in, loosing a little torque to the single plan is no big deal. That motor will make 660 plus torque by 3500rpm.

[@chrishambling1981]

Great job eh ! 🇨🇦🇺🇲

[@79tazman]

The thing doesn't even want to idle at all got some carb issues or vacuum leaks for sure. Are those good carbs that have been on running engines?

@@GnarlySpeedShop love you guys, I look forward to Tuesdays vids! Will we see the slayer lined up next to this big block at the track when you get it all built?

[@friguy4444]

Couldn't you ave mounted it the other way around? So the Bell housing brace was at the other end and put the smaller brace at the controls end and have the engine facing the other way?? Then you could have run the exhaust out the door if you wanted even.

[@jmendo2546]

Camshaft Break in is 2,500 RPM for 10 min's it's gonna be LOUD for 10 min's. Get some straight pipe and 2 muffler's although you are in a commercial zoned area. It'a also going to blow alot of dust up maybe put a stack of pallet's behind exhaust to muffle it up a bit. And will be Hot to stand to look at gauge's

Looks like either the engine is in the stand backwards or the control console is on the wrong end of the stand!! Enjoy your videos Danny and Liv!!!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Believe it or not, that's the way it is supposed to be set up according to instructions. It worked out because we were able to connect the hose and dump the water outside

[@briansmith3232]

That's odd, I've literally seen dozens of run stands but never one with the engine configured in that direction!!

Could you spin the headers 180 and aim to front of motor?

That's a great idea 💡

[@55gaser26]

PS even with a small cfm carb engine should still run and idle ok

You know that the cfm of the carb has nothing to do with how its running, right?
