Back in the mid 70s I owned a 16 foot ski boat with an Olds 455 to Jacuzzi jet drive. Motor was balanced with a Isky cam. Fuel was always Chevron Custom Supreme (100+ octane) thru a Holly double pumper carb. When you stomped on it, the boat would hit 75 mph at 6000+ rpm. It drank fuel like crazy. Would haul 6 skiers from deep water starts with ease. It was a blast to own and run.

[@BobbyOfEarth]

My parents took my sister and I to the Oakland Estuary to the Berkley Jet boat dealer in 1966. They picked out a 16' green and gold metalflake boat with a 350 hp 327 Chevy engine, and we went camping and skiing just about every weekend during the summers. It had a top speed of 62 mph but got there in three seconds..

[@billyingram5394]

I’m a Flowmaster man myself and they sound so sweet

[@dcimotorsports1111]

The best is open exhaust :)

[@peteloomis8456]

The Flow masters use the delta flow technology that are welded inside the muffler casing made of thick metal so they are less likely to fail and blow out like a glass pack type of muffler that uses a thin perforated core wrapped with packing . At the speed shop I worked at years ago most of the times the Flow masters made more HP on the cars that we installed those on when we would run them on our chassis dyno and did prior runs with the stock exhaust or a exhaust that had run glass packs or the turbo mufflers and then we would run the car again with the Flow masters and they usually made more power especially once we started jetting for optimal HP and torque along with timing and advance curve settings. We had several turbo mufflers on big blocks that were new that actually split open at the seams and crimps because they were to restrictive and stopped recommending them verses the all welded Flow masters . My boss had a 78 pro street Elcamino all tube chassis car with a certified cage that was making 1,500+ HP to the rear wheels that had a stroked and blown 454 Chevrolet engine and he used the welded Flow masters on it and they took the punishment from that engine no problem. The car could be driven on the street but could knock off 8 second 1/4 miles when driven to the tack and some tuning changes made with the blower pulley. We built a certified tube chassis for a customer who had a 69 Pontiac GTO that was at one time a national record setting drag car that had a 455 using Kaufman heads and custom roller cam with the firing order changed with a aluminum sheet intake and a 5,000 cryoed custom crank that years ago was one of the quickest and fastest all Pontiac powered drag cars here in the good ol USA that was running mid to low 8s at a 160+ mph in the 1/4 mile that was named Bottle fed Goat which I still have a picture of it hanging in my garage to this day . We used to test and tune the car at the Brainered international raceway back then to work the bugs out of the car before the owner started racing it all over the country and setting records with it until he eventually retired from racing and sold the car and I've been trying for years to find it with no luck unfortunately.

400's are fun and have a little broader power band than the 455. I love the 455 for its TQ though. Thanks for following !!! Check out our Podcast tonight and every Wednesday night from 7PM to 8PM Eastern.

I like the sound of the hooker aero chamber mufflers, had em on my built engine. Idled similar to this one

[@dcimotorsports1111]

I have never ran a set of those. I'm a Dynomax or Magnaflow guy. Used to be a Flowmaster guy when I was younger LOL. Thanks for following !! Check out our Podcast every Wednesday night from 7PM to 8PM Eastern.

[@kennethcohagen3539]

It sounds pretty mean! I like the dynomax mufflers, but I would run them with cutouts. I like the quieter mufflers because I like sleepers. I would probably add a resonator.

[@joefradette8137]

That's what he's going to do.😀 I know Craig, who this motor is being built for.

[@scottkernan9007]

Course nothing sounds better than open headers lol

[@racer67]

Them flowmasters sound good I got them on my 67 Impala 283

Love your videos. Im building a 428 with ported 96 heads. Was wondering your opinon of a nice street strip cam? Its going in a 69 gto with 355 gears and 2800 stall. I was going with a hyd. Roller. Thanks have a nice day

[@dcimotorsports1111]

Thanks for following !!! Make sure and check out our bench racing Podcast every Wednesday night from 7PM to 8PM Eastern. I will be promoting cam packages and other products for exactly what your doing.

[@davidroberts3692]

Always did like the Quadrajet carb. Had a 1966 Olds 88 with the 425 high compression engine, had the Rodchester 2 bbl when I bought it, changed manifold and put on the Quadrajet and never looked back. If you got a good one they were great if not what a pain in the a#$. 😅

I had a 455 Pontiac engine in a 69 Catalina it was awesome

[@ScottTeeselink-ik2fz]

Both mufflers sound great but I love the sound of the Dynomax. In order to make a standard 400 hp (1977 - 500577 block), what would you do to make it perform? I'm looking for an upper 12 second street car. It has 3:42 gears, a holley 750, torquer 2 manifold, 1.52 scorpion Rocker Arms, a custom grind cam thats slightly hotter than the Ram Air 3, hooker headers, thought I wasn't to change to ram air exhaust manifolds, a coan torque converter Eventually, I'd let to get a 3 angle valve job Should the heads be ported and polished as well? I was thinking of getting an Edelbrock performer for and getting a perfor m ance kit for rochester carb from Clifs. What do do you think? Any suggestions?

[@dcimotorsports1111]

Scott the 557 blocks are pretty weak and the mains will blow out with not much over 400 HP. So you may want to consider an earlier block to build on. I would not use the performer, the performer RPM is a way better intake. Q-Jets are awesome carbs, but will require a killer fuel system for anything over 350 HP. With the correct cam and cylinder head work 12's is achievable. Porting would just be icing on the cake.

[@nunyabiznuss124]

It'll almost idle smooth once the mass of the torque converter is added.

[@dcimotorsports1111]

My parents had a 1965 Chevy Bel Air station wagon 327 4v double hump factory heads automatic transmission ….. would do 90 mph ( slight downgrade) in low gear …. Had to be almost 7,000 rpm 😊

[@dcimotorsports1111]

Ha Ha the good old days of running the family trucksters balls off LOL.

Very disappointing not getting to hear that throttle crack to 5K in the open header layout 😫 Very healthy sounding though Nice job guys

[@flyboy8364]

What kind of choke is on that carb? Looks like a hot air carb but i dont see it connected to the intake.

[@dcimotorsports1111]

This is a later model carb with an integral choke and choke housing. These were either heat actuated or electric. We put a electric choke stat on this one.

[@alanbrooks3670]

That's all I'd ever have on my cars is quad jet carbs 71 monte 77 and 84ss they are the best for the buck, and for use in a daily driver as well

[@dcimotorsports1111]

It seems people either love them or hate them. I personally love them and use them whenever possible. The only issue with a Q Jet is their fuel bowl size. You have to have a killer fuel pump and big enough supply line.

[@armcchargues8623]

Never have cared for the sound of Flowmasters. Much prefer the sound of a packed muffler. Give me the dynomaxes or magnaflows.

[@jeffleary1598]

Number 2 muffler sounds nasty when you give it the bean. Till then it’s class

[@gadaws1]

Are you running dish pistons in it to get that compression ratio

[@dcimotorsports1111]

No they are a flat top with 2 valve reliefs. The #64 heads have bigger chambers factory rated them at 87CC, but most measure around 93 CC's. Another contributing factor is the pistons are usually around .022" to .028" in the hole which reduces compression as well. So in reality off the production line engines that were rated at say 10.5 to 1 were actually closer to 9.5 to 1. That's why all your NHRA Stock and Super Stockers blueprint their engines to factory ratings.

[@craigcricket7932]

Thank you. I have a '73 Pontiac Grandville Convertible. 455- 4:bbl. Roughly, how much does it cost to do what you did there? My motor is stock with 60,000 actual miles.

[@dcimotorsports1111]

Thank You for following !!!! send me an email and will send you a quote for build like this. [e-mail]

[@ZacLowing]

I wonder if you could shoot spray paint into the carb so when you pull the intake off you can see the paint patterns in the port areas. Maybe on a flow bench. Let e know if you do this

[@dcimotorsports1111]

Good idea, we have done it before with Dykem not paint. Its basically a dye and does show where the air goes. I hate doing it though because it makes a mess out of my flow bench :) Thanks for for following !!! Come hang out with us every Wednesday night on our Bench Racing Podcast from 7PM to 8PM Eastern.

[@BobbyGreen-py1ho]

What’s crazy is I have a 461 stroker engine with number 13 Pontiac heads runs great but can’t get that wicked aggressive revving 😢

[@dcimotorsports1111]

Don't beat yourself up to much. It took me years until I figure out the right combination of valve seat angles and head porting to get it like this.

[@BobbyGreen-py1ho]

So do you have to have the heads ported? the only thing I did to the heads was 3 angle valve job

[@BobbyGreen-py1ho]

And I have a Howard’s rattler camshaft it has a 480 intake lift and a 488 exhaust lift as well

[@dcimotorsports1111]

@@BobbyGreen-py1hoYes heads are ported. Keep in mind though that we have done a ton of R&D to get the exact valve seat angles to perform like they do. This isn't a standard 3 angle valve job like most shops perform. We used to do ours like that, but have since learned a ton more over the years and applied it. :)

[@lawtonlancaster5753]

Nothing better than old school Detroit muscle. Wonder if I could put that in a Toyota Corolla

[@dcimotorsports1111]

🤣 It can be shoe horned into anything with a welder and a cut off wheel LOL

[@Junkers024]

i wanted to hear it whacked, open header and what is that bute gettin into ?

[@dcimotorsports1111]

Ha Ha maybe the next video we can do that. Its going into a 69 GTO :)

[@fastmachines500r8]

Nothing like a Pontiac engine

[@dcimotorsports1111]

My Dad got me hooked when I was a kid. He always had some kind of a fast Poncho while I was growing up. I have fond memories of him rowing through the gears in his 67 GTO, 63 Catalina with a 421, 68 Firebird, ^9 Firebird you get the idea lol.
