528 HEMI Dyno Blast - Monster Mopar Engine Tested

[@nickpanaritis4122]

This is not a crate engine. This 528 is built by Nick's Garage.

[@deronborghi5929]

The only way to do it

[@RonSales]

Definately Not a crate motor a real hemi.

[@robertorhymes]

You might have recieved the block in a crate but this was assembled by hand for goodness sake Make no mistake By the way it sounds great...

[@jumpinjojo]

@@RonSales *Definitely

[@tomp1612]

That is going to make a fun ride. I have a 521" SCJ in my 70 Cyclone. It is also not the Ford crate engine but built locally. It makes very similar numbers to what you got at similar RPM too. It could probably be easily improved to over 700hp with a bigger cam than the 239@.050 hydraulic roller in it but this 4000 lb beast will already light up the tires just goosing it at 60k. I have always been more into higher RPM and smaller cubes but an extra 100 cubes that runs on 94 octane Chevron and makes low RPM power like that is the way to go. If I putt around the gas mileage isn't even too bad.

[@robertwest3093]

I love how Nick still gets so excited when he hits the numbers he predicts! This engine has enough torque to rotate the earth!

[@michaelnelson7305]

If an engine makes 600 ft lbs of torque, that means it is usually capable of 600 hp if the engine has the breathing ability through the intake and exhaust. This cool engine appears to be a little short on flow through the cyl heads and exhaust for the bigger cubes.... but great for street engine fun.

[@themysterycook7320]

Enough torque to restart a dead Planet!!

We're glad you are with us, Anthony.

[@davidedgar2818]

I've never seen a big block run so smooth at rpm. This barely shook the springs, amazing!

Good vibe with you and the new guy 👍. Very enjoyable watching.

For me as fun as it is to watch Mic dyno these motors today for me was seeing how happy and relaxed he was thru out the whole show .

[@LoganJohnson-lm2bh]

I thank you for the love Nik and all your people that make it possible .

Nick, I'm mechanical here in Brazil, I love your videos, I'm always watching, a big hug!

[@eugenecastles7475]

A Hemi last Monday, and now a 528 Hemi on the Dyno. I know this baby is going to make well over 630 HP. Let her rip Nick, I'm anxious to see what numbers you can make. Here we go!!!

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for joining us again, Eugene. Here we go!

[@danohstoolbox]

hello Eugene hope all is well with you we are getting more snow tonight and they are forecasting rain tomorrow

[@eugenecastles7475]

@@NicksGarage Another fantastic video George. I loved the intro, simply amazing. I just love seeing Nick in the Dyno room, where he is absolutely in his element. The numbers aren't quite there yet, but the fine tuning will produce the numbers that I know will be there. I'm already looking forward to seeing the final numbers this torque-monster will produce on the Dyno.

[@eugenecastles7475]

[@joeljenkins2876]

Goood evening guys!!!!! Over 600 hp and 650+ lb-ft of torque, and he’s STILL TUNING IT!!!! If Nick drops this in Kowalski, it’ll be pleading for mercy!!!! Great vid as always: George, you are SECOND TO NONE!!!! Great week guys!!!!

[@NicksGarage]

Right on!

[@dundonrl]

That would be gross hp it looks and not net hp?

[@JamesSmith-op7yc]

I dig Nick because of his conservative approach to engine optimization/tuning. Regardless of what power plant, the main concern is everyday reliability and delivery of that plants performance. Fire it up and enjoy a great day/night drive. Anytime, anywhere you want to go. The ability to spank a smarty pants "hot rod" kid is outstandingly brilliant! I'd like to have coffee with the man. I'd smile and listen; (pay for our breakfast too) James, from Michigan. PS, I'm 60yrs down the road and still riding motorcycles and driving BB sleepers. :) !

[@kevinnobody3052]

My earliest childhood memories are all of Mopars. I went with my dad to pick up our '65 Dodge Polara from Spitzer Dodge in Akron Ohio. On the way home dad opened the 383 up all the way to 100 mph and I've been hooked ever since. I've always wanted a Hemi car but it hasn't happened. I really respect your knowledge and passion for these cars and I enjoy watching your dyno sessions. Thanks guys.

[@michaelmoseley7359]

I can watch his videos over and over again.

[@craigd2599]

George...I've been a subscriber for several years now. Your editing skills have just gotten better and better. Great visuals.

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@Hillside-Hotrods]

Don’t forget the music, he plays music from all different types.

George is Continually improving production value What you say is absolutely true!

[@jimdevlin4949]

Sure wish I was a wrench on the wall in that shop. Simply beautiful to watch an artist work. Thanks for what you do George and thanks for sharing your knowledge and shop Nick!!!!❤

[@petskudahlman]

I had a '67 Dodge Charger when I was young, it had a 426 Hemi, my brother raced it, I bought it from him, I loved it too bad I sold it, now I have a 67 Charger 360, this is a good show

[@donlemme898]

Sense of pride that Nick displays when his efforts pay off is great to see. Great engine. George great opening shots. One of my friends had a ‘74 T/A SD 455 in 1975. One of the benefits of being my age is having experienced these wonderful muscle cars first hand.

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

1974s got choked down by new Federal Emission standards..smog pumps, egr valves, leaner tuning..

[@davelowets]

​@@aaronhumphrey2009It was in 1972 when the choking happened across the board at G.M.

[@phillipblachowski2701]

Nick, I really enjoy your passion for Mopar muscle. You have reminded me of when I was a line mechanic at Westgate Dodge in Toledo Ohio from about 1972 to 1979. During that time, the 5 year 50,000 mi warranties on muscle car drivetrains was still in effect. We repaired and road tested a lot of really cool cars, and they were still selling hot cars !! Didn't know how sweet it was at the time. Thanks for bringing those memories back. Peace

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Imagine this engine in an old Dart! Wow! Good show Nick. George, outstanding camerawork and editing!! 528 Hemi is just WILD!

[@NicksGarage]

Wow, thanks!

[@aufklarungfahnestock3584]

I started watching this and then stopped and went and got my headphones so I could listen in on this beautiful engine make some power!

[@LordHolley]

That's amazing, it must get at least three gallons per mile, and a huge smile the whole time....

[@davelowets]

It SHOULD get better than that if you drive it nice.. I drive around all summer with a 13:1 N/A 547" big block, and it gets 8+ mpg's if I drive it nice. Yes, I need to run 114 octane in it, BUT, it's WORTH it to be able to blaze 18"×31" rear tires at a 50+mph roll in 2nd gear if I want to...😁 🤘

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

IMHO the most iconic American powerplant of all time. I'm surprised you didn't use a hydraulic roller camshaft. It would have been nice to see the valve covers removed so we could drool over the valvetrain. You have a career building such monsters that is the envy of any patriotic person!

[@stevejewell9263]

The 528 has become pretty popular. Pricey for sure but nice to know there is something that can at least attempt to make a move on the Crazy Dominant old school BBC out there. It's tough being an old school Mopar guy today. Not nearly as many options for us and they do not come cheap. Still, for the faithful......this is encouraging to see. NIck's got a strong motor on the dyno here.

I remember the first one you built nick the keeper it was cool to see the 426 set up in your garage withe the 4 speed and dana 60 its going to be cool seeing you do that again with this 526. Your channel is the only time ive ever got to see a hemi in action and seeing it with the transmission and dana altogether on you garage floor is awesome it really shows how Chrysler wasn't messing around when they built that package

[@michaelmartinez1345]

Impressive performance!!! That 528 Hemi sounds so nice !!! With pistons that are 1/4" larger and a stroke that is .400" longer, this machine really puts out the TORQUE! I'm thinking that camshaft selection and camshaft timing are also important factors... But this kind of power and torque on pump gas is just amazing!!!
