Dana "60" Glass. HEMI sounds great, but the numbers telling the story. Maybe a re-ring, bearings, cam, and valve springs to bring the crispness back. I know you'll want to check the valves, but it sounds like the rings ain't what they used to be. If it's a budget deal, re-ring, new cam and valve job. Put some money in it, block deck, pistons, get compression up to 11.5:1, and a cam with some overlap. New dual point distributor, rebuild the carbs, if it were mine. I could talk to Mike from New Yawk for hours. Great video!

Good afternoon Nick & George, The 426 Hemi is a legend, especially one of this vintage. I would just go through the engine, definitely a new cam, springs, and lifters. I would rebuild the carbs. and re-jet as necessary. I would also check the rod, main, and cam bearings to make sure they are ok. If this is going to be a street cruiser, I would change out the 90/10 shocks, and lose the 4:30 gears in the diff for something more suited for street driving. Since I only live a few miles from Pflugerville, if I see this car on the street I will give her a run for sure.

I’d like to see the entire build on this a engine. I worked for several Engine rebuilders during my 20 yrs in Auto Parts, but never had my hands on a Hemi. We built just about everything else there was to build, from Continentals to Internationals, Ford 351C’s to 430 BBC’s. (The was a destroyed 454 and was popular for a while when getting forged cranks for the 454 was nearly impossible.) but I’ve never built a Hemi.

My 350 Olds Rocket had close to 150000 miles on it when I got it. That sucker was scary. It was the only car I ever had that would hit 65 mph with the automatic transmission locked in low. My 352 T-bird engine was worn out when I got it and it would fly. I was a little scared of both of those engines. I wonder what they were like when they were new because when I had them, they could pass almost anything but a gas station.

I would freshen the entire thing up since it's out. Modern retrofit healthy hydraulic roller cam and timing chain set. It's probably tired too. Do the heads and some fresh springs to match the cam. Modern electronic ignition and with those manifolds I bet 500hp, 525 lbs would be easy and better street manners

Great video Nick and George. I love hearing stories like Mike’s where we want to keep these cars in the family. Similar to my 2 door 77 New Yorker where my dad bought it in 77 at Laval Chrysler Plymouth on des Laurentides and since he stopped driving, I now have the car and want to keep it going so that one day I can pass it on to my son. As for what Mike should do with the Hemi, I’m sure you already made suggestions to Mike but if his daughter wants more of a daily rider, I would go with a mild cam since I’m not sure how much she would enjoy driving looking outside the driver window like her dad. 😂

1st off, awesome. The 1st thing I would do is test. Single 4bbl carb. On duel plane intake. I believe you can make more tq closer to the hp rpm. Zero Deck the block and shave heads 0.030 with a 0.039 to 0.042 crush on the head gasket. I know nick likes 0.020 head gasket crush, but It's a cruzer, not a racer, and 91 to 93 octane should be ok at 10.41:1 / 10.60:1 . Heads have to flow to Match the cam, so I believe the cam in that setup is maxed out the head on both exhaust and intake flow. It probably has small valves as well. I know there's a budget you are good at keeping it within reason. Happy holidays and be safe all.

Well, my opinion is that it is at Nicholas's shop out of the car and that is about 40% of the work. I would freshen it with new rings if the bore is true if not ,bore and replace and also check and replace engine bearings. It should not need much more than that. Some carburetor work and let that engine perform as it should. Just my thoughts. Michael Kocan from P.A. the other HEMI. Great show Nicholas.Thunder Road!!!!!

This family has great taste in cars! Kudos to her for her interest in muscle cars and not this newer stuff, although newer cars are usually more reliable but with Nick’s touch this engine will last her for years to come.

And carb kits with a modern water pump an above all another thermostat !!! Fix everything before an issue develops !!!

A lot has been learned in the years since the last build. Better parts are out there. Nick knows all the best building tricks. Let him loose on it to build it to last another 50+ years.

Good evening, guys!!!! If that were MY hemi, I would at least refresh (as long as the bores are in decent shape, hone them) it with new rings, a good valve job with maybe a little mild port/bowl work, and just tune it after it's back together. I would want AT LEAST stock tq/hp numbers. But I'm sure whatever Mike wants, he's got the man for the job, Professor Nick Panaritis!!!. So, when does class start? lol Great week to y'all guys up north.

Exhaust manifolds. ok. Do timing check. Cranking compression depends on overlap. If it were mine, I would leave it as is and enjoy the occasional drive. Its not a race car. Its a WOW factor car. Put a 6AL with a 5600 rev limiter, and drive it. MSD wakes it up down low.👍 My good buddy has five 426 hemis, and a couple 392s. One 392 in his street rod pickup just to pull his boat.😁 Only the 64 Savoy race car is outrageous power. 👍👍😎🇺🇲

The old fashioned freshen up with rings, bearings, valve job, oil pump and seal up everything would probably do great for your basic street motor as it will probably be driven. That won't break the bank and still have a good 30-40,000 mile engine that's fun, a little rowdy and still have enough money for rear tires!

Get the compression back up, reseat the valves, check the bores and the bearing clearances, and maybe shim the oil pump. Paint it purple for the young lady!

Probably sounded better 50 years ago when it ran on gasoline. This gasohol garbage (E 10} reduces horsepower by 3%. On 418 horsepower that's 12.54. That's down from 430.5 horsepower. It's in the fuel.

A lot of times it's all about budget. Traditionally with the engine out of the car, I would always, at a minimum, replace the timing chain and gears and the oil pump. That's always good insurance to do that. But this engine also has a rear main seal leak. There are methods for replacing the seal without removing the crank, which I've never had good success at. So, if you take the crank out, replace the rear main and check the bearings. If they look good, and this engine did have good oil pressure, you could put them back in. Again, it's about how much do you want to spend. Another thing I would do is get rid of that locked out distributor. You have good vacuum in the engine, so get one with a vacuum advance. Your daughter will like how streetable the engine will be at that point. And just make sure that the carbs are tuned well. You've got Nick there to help you with that. Just my 2 cents.

Seriously, yes it has to be torn down for a complete rebuild. You must check those main bearing webs for cracks! That was a risk winding that old dog to 6000 RPM. But we enjoyed it!😂😂😂Best of luck to the owner.

Freshen it up. It has a rear main leak. Measure the bearings, check the cam, new springs, seals, ect. It would be best to know what you have, and know you can trust it.
