[@bruceowens3614]

I’ve always thought building a car for some weekend fun was probably to complicated and expensive but with the information you two provide on this channel, it seems like a reachable goal. Your obvious love for what you do is so contagious that it makes hard to keep finding excuses “not” to do it. Thanks again

[@MidwestStreetCarsAuto]

thank you bruce! that's exactly what we talked about the other day making this video. it's become the idea that in order to drag race you have to spend a ton of money swapping motors and buying turbos and it's just not true. we hope to show that you can buy a regular street car and do some minor things and still go out and have fun and turn on some win lights!

How long have you been running alcohol in your NA engine??

[@05reddmax]

@matthew are you exaggerating when asking him how long he’s been running alcohol in his naturally aspirated engine? Because if your implying that because it’s on alcohol that it’s not naturally aspirated, that is 100% incorrect {DEFINITION OF NATURALLY ASPIRATED} A naturally aspirated engine, also known as a normally aspirated engine, and abbreviated to N/A or NA, is an internal combustion engine in which air intake depends solely on atmospheric pressure and does not have forced induction through a turbocharger or a supercharger.

Good morning Jackie and Chief. I am pretty new (probably less than 6 months) and here for what you are doing!! I really only know you from this KZbin channel, and never watched the TV show (other than the first season or two of Pinks). I LOVE the ‘automotive-archeology’ that you are doing. I’m an old street racer from the late 80s to mid 90s from the Detroit area, and just still love watching it on KZbin. One of my favorite races was against an orange Judge built by Nelson’s speedshop we did along old US 23 between Hartland and Fenton Michigan. Good times. Keep being exactly who you are 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

[@matthewbogner6066]

Dude!!! Just gotta say, watching Jackie and you on KZbin beats watching street outlaws anyday! Love it! Seeing Justin build an gen 1 stock block 400 that can complete is so cool! It gives guys with middle class everyday working jobs some inspiration that we can build something out of what we have and go hang with the guys that have all the money. So thankful for the channel.

[@BeefythePaladin]

I truly appreciate when Chief goes deep into an explanation of the engine and how everything goes together, and comes apart. I'm a mechanic of sorts, but I fix industrial machines, and know very little about engines. Seeing the full breakdown, and getting an understandable explanation of the mechanics and pitfalls of engine builds is extremely valuable to expanding my understanding on engine design and repair.

Finally someone gets it! The majority of folks, myself included, can’t afford to just pull an engine and put an LS in its place. Taking your stuff that came with the car to the max is where is a great journey

[@ltsgarage7898]

LS motors are for people that don’t or can’t spend big money on an old school 350 or 400 cubic inch motor. I’ll bet Chief is as schooled on an LS motor as he is the old school motor. Plus, when he shows up to race someone whether it’s one other car for money or an elimination Race. He wants the other guys to see an old school motor. With that motor the people that he will be racing will have one mind set. If he had a LS in his Corvette they would have a completely different mind set. Kind of like the Crow. People see his motor he is running an under estimate him an his Crow. Chief does his homework 📚 That’s just one of the reasons he can explain all of this trash that is going on in his motor… He talks in plain English. Speaks slowly so we can really catch on and understand everything…. When I was a kid I had one of the fastest cars 🚗 around. It had a built 327. No such thing as a 350 bock then. I ran a Muncie 4 speed and anywhere from 4:11’s to 5:38’s rear gears. My motor went to 9000 rpm very easily. Chief probably has forgotten more than I’ll ever know!!!

He has since passed away so it’s on me alone to get this thing running and driving. And all the millions of LS channels had me convinced that keeping the numbers matching sbc is a mistake, you have dispelled this myth. Thank you.

[@mitchhuested6244]

Chief, have you tried Glyptol painting the inside of your block surfaces? Old Smokey Yunnick trick that seals the casting surfaces, so no sand cast residue. Also, flows the oil back to the pan faster due to the smooth surface of the dried paint. Easy brush-on that works well. Glyptol is the paint used on Alternator windings.

[@arfrce72]

I have a 69 Firebird with a 350 Pontiac. Everyone tells me to put an LS in it.. I just cringe when I see and LS in a Pontiac. I'm sure you know this already.

The Carb break down was great. You two keep doing what your doing. I will keep watching.

Can only speak for myself but I DO love what you do. It's an easy cop-out to just constantly throw the latest new & shiny part store products at an LS motor then rinse & repeat when it blows up. Theres nothing interesting about that, and too many people doing it already. It just becomes a boring money game. You were exactly right in what you said. The mix you have of racing videos, testing videos, and diagnostic/tech stuff is perfect. I wouldnt change a thing.

[@otisbailey5455]

I run .060 on my "400" you just need to start with a good block and cooling, cooling, cooling, those steam holes are there for a reason. Opinion:. Check your adaptation parts, trans interface. Unless modified the 400 is externally balanced, incorrect flexplate and damper may cause the crank to load /walk. See if those parts have something to say. No expense to inspect and check. Seldom is converter ballooning the cause, once a converter is ballooned "it stays ballooned.'

[@matthewvarnam4302]

If it had the wrong balancer and or flexplate on a 400 you would know it right? The engine would start shaking when giving it throttle right? And if you had a 350 block and put a 400 crankshaft in the 350 block you would have to use the 400 balancer and flex to keep it balanced.

[@otisbailey5455]

The improper flex plate would rattle the motor, it would be wise to check the weight, mounting faces, bolt holes etc. Let the parts talks. Always a good idea not to overlook the adaptation dim. bolt holes, surfaces looking for unhappy parts.

Two things I have seen as a shade tree mechanic and racer. 1) Over heating a block under stress (racing) will twist the block. One bank will shift about .006" forward/back relative to the other bank. Not exactly common, but it does happen. 2) The other is a bad line hone of the mains that is out of true. Either symptom ruins the block for anything but normal daily driver use. Good luck on getting this block to run strong without problems. Thanks for sharing.

Yes!! Finally had time to jump on your channel!! I’ve always wondered why no 405 guy had a c3 corvette!! And I’m happy it’s you that has it!! Please please post everything you do to this vehicle! I’m a huge fan of c3s and would love to see what you do with a suspension setup!!

[@larryjackson4539]

I really enjoy watching your videos and love that you try to solve and correct the problems with the engines. Most people would just replace the engine to so called correct the issues. I'm looking forward to seeing the vette in action.

Hey Chief, the 400 sb was externally balanced from the factory, without the proper dampener and flex plate or flywheel the crank will walk. I’m sure you knew that just thought I would put it out there. Love your stuff. Keep it up,

[@derekprather]

Love the all the small block knowledge and tips. Ran a small block in my 2wd pulling truck for along time, never knew about the pipe plug in the block we always poured the back holes, Thanks for that info.

[@ws2664]

That was a great prolog, I think that's a word, to finish off the video. All my street cars were cast iron blocks. Can't wait to see more.

[@rudy9157]

I'm a fan of the og show from day 1, and a fan of Midwest Street cars. It's good to see you still keep doing your thing. I love the content you and Jackie put out. I'm still a fan of all OKC racers on the show. Honestly Big Chief "CROW" and Shawn "MURDERNOVA" are my favorite. Keep doing what you do cause you look happier. That is what really matters. Much love.

I love the knowledge that y'all pass on to us with every video. Straight info. The perseverance that y'all have is inspiring to say the least. The problem solving and in depth explanation of what is happening without making us noobs feel like complete morons is artfully done.
