Hey Steve, Congratulations to you and Tom for winning Drag Week, awesome win. I love the new freedom series you started. 🇺🇲

[@georgepranis5183]

I love your channel! I might have missed it, I did not see the thrust alignment prior to torquing #5 main.

[@ajspak874]

Not only is this awesome that you're showing us all the technical nuances to put this motor together. But the chance that actually own one of your motors would be incredible.

[@darrelwright7343]

U ain't lying I bought 2 T shirts off his web site awesome apparel!! MAGA 2024

Agreed. Also report the spammers.

Love your channel. Keep up the great work! And thanks for the education...

[@docsmallblock6584]

No kidding! I've dreamed a lot looking at the website that's for sure!!! Got a 79 Z-28 that would love to have that engine in it!!!

[@bullfrog1807]

Steve Tech coming in clutch with another detailed walk through of something that has been somewhat of a mystery to me. You explain things in a way that is easily understood and I feel like I could replicate myself. Thanks Steve 10/10

[@slfrules1]

I really like that eccentric adjuster!

[@mattm3492]

Love this format of video. No one does this anywhere that I know of. I know any car guy would love seeing these informational videos. Even if I already know what your teaching its still interesting. Keep it up man. You hit the nail on the head here

[@brandonviveiros9542]

Man what a wild piece that motor is, I would love to put that in my OBS Chevy. Also Congratulations on the win at dragweek🎉

[@4113N5]

This average guy just made an order on something I’ve always wanted anyway. Thanks for putting this giveaway together for us Steve, you’re going to make some lucky fan cry!

[@crazylarryjr]

Makes me wish i still had my old 66 Impala, or my 77 malibu

[@rolliefoster2837]

Great video & look forward to the rest of the series !

[@kilgorefamily76]

This is going to be a really interesting series. Thank you.

[@allanrickard2117]

oh my god the best prize in the whole world a Steve Morris engine

[@johnkorotki7861]

Just got me 6 entries and a cool t-shirt!

[@kalussowski4589]

This is an awesome series you're doing; Plus giving away this engine! I thank you for everything. PS congratulations on winning Drag week 5 times now- Wow no small feat by any means!

[@Xsivtime]

Awesome engine build. Let’s see Kyle do a SML build and hit the next drag n drive in his own ride. 🏎

[@rad87gn]

I was not expecting this video to have this much content!! Thanks for surprising me!! Steve, I had a friend that went to his friend builder and they ASSUMED since new the specs were ok checking one rod! It blew up. 3K later fixed and that was a discount? This is a 1,300hp NOS engine. I'd be mad! No assumes on 1,000+ engines!! And now he has parts grinded down to spec below fat standard. I expect my engines blue printed at this point. Steve please explain what a blue printed engine is. It's an exact to book spec engine. :) Funny how balanced and blue printed engine was a big deal forever Explain what that means. I know what it means and is but think it would be nice to share to others what it actually is.

[@minibikemadman]

so awesome..if I don't win it, I'm building it!!!

[@camerongreco2146]

If I won this I'd request to purchase a turbo cam so I can Twin Turbo it and convert it to fuel injection so I could use a Holley EFI. I'm actually about to start my first build a 1978 Trans Am and still need a motor. Every single motor I want is way out of my price range. So this is an incredible opportunity. After so many years I'm finally doing my dream build. Plan on making it a drag car.

[@paulshurmon138]

Thanks for the video.

[@Notarobot310]

This motor would be wicked mounted to Boss Hoss, What a ride that would be

[@Pontiac73]

The piston TDC check with the dial indicator is wrong way. Better is the piston stopper. Best way is the piston stop-screw is in the cylinder about 0,4 x the piston stroke. For excample the stroke is 4", the stopper is 1.5" in from the deck. This is most accurate way to ensure the piston TDC. You understand if you look your crank and connecting rod angle. The dial indicator is never so excact.

[@alraybaca6235]

Watching each and every one of these videos needs to know what my new engines all about

[@michaelbiel7473]

I wish i could get it for my neighbeor to put in his dirt track cars

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

All that effort timing your cam and within a few hours of running, the chain stretches and gears wear in and it all changes a few degrees. That’s why I run a gear drive.

[@AntiPattern328]

Dude, my wife would absolutely let me out of the dog house if I could stick that in her 67 Mustang that I blew up and let sit for 10 years....... 😏 Been married 31 years as of 2 days ago and I still get hounded about when I'm gonna get her car back on the road. Over 10 years and every day, I get reminded. This was the car she bought when she was 15, took her drivers ed, test, etc. Its just a small block 4-speed coupe but I'm pretty sure I would go before the car. Lol!!

[@bryanluntz1603]

Awesome👍

[@WillyG3234]

Lol I absolutely fuckin love this whole deal, I dont think I could afford a sticker from most of the companies whose parts are in that tho 😂

[@allenbrixey1122]

Steve you probably have forgotten more than I will ever know. I'm sure you have the memory of elephant. The adjustable timing chain, do they ever slip due to high RPM's and valve spring pressure?

[@910rick]

Wicked build .

[@danielbeiersr3642]

Where do I find your merchandise for purchase to enter the 800 hp engine giving away

[@kevz557]

Steve I have to ask you a serious question . Does Bailey have a current giveaway ? Plz respond back . Thankx bro

[@jefffisher2969]

Can you get a 1000 horsepower out of a SBC iron block with out a power adder

[@jeroenebelties6895]

I want this motor for my fiat panda😅

[@jimbo682]

Would be nice if it was here in Ca in a 71 K5 Blazer

[@jneman91]

what would the power difference be if you installed the cam with the dots lined up....vs a degreed cam?

[@stevemorrisracing]

In this application around 300 or more power

[@pablo_santos29]

Are the 2 pieces that make up that adjustable cam sprocket that tight of a fit that you don’t need to tighten the bolts while rotating the crank to check the duration? I figured they would move a little and give you a off measurement?

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

There is enough friction between the two parts and the bolts have just enough tension on them to prevent movement. The dial indicator that is set up in the lifter bore has an extremely weak spring in it, and there is a roller tip on the lifter to prevent mechanical friction, so there is virtually zero resistance to cause the two cam sprockets to move apart. The only situation you are ever likely to encounter where that becomes an issue, is if you were to bottom out the dial indicator (so it can't move any more becoming a solid link) then depending on how tight the bolts are, there is the potential to move the sprocket.

[@steveterry1812]

what brand is that engine stand?

[@novanut1964]

is there "free shipping" on the giveaway engine? thanks

[@stevemorrisracing]

Nope

[@AB-80X]

Very cool. What kind of lash do you run on a street solid roller like that? 0.016 or similar?

Hi, I go over this in Part 2

[@AB-80X]

First off, who else releases multiple videos on new builds literally minutes AFTER winning undoubtedly the hardest HRDW22 you and Tom just finished!! Only you brother, only you!!!! Congratulations on the win Steve, you boy's DEFINITELY earned this one!!!! Can't wait to check out the new project, but if it's from SME, you can't go wrong!!!!

[@MotorSwapDan]

Some people are always planning thinking and executing and Steve is clearly an animal

[@strykerentllc]

Congratulations on winning Drag Week. It's a testament to both your knowledge and your character with supporting Tom throughout the entire event. Swapping pistons, no sleep, swapping injectors, no sleep, dealing with a self-ejecting trailer, no sleep, and of course if that wasn't enough, having to swap a throttle cable. This comes as a complete surprise and is a testament to how generous you are. We're here to get an understanding on where engines are today and the depth of knowledge you're willing to share is nothing short of both admirable and remarkable. Giving away a complete engine is unheard of and speaks volumes to the kind of man you are. Some of us follow you for entertainment while others follow to get a better understanding of how to build an engine correctly and you deliver on all counts. Lastly, thank you, God Bless, and good luck to whomever wins this engine. Cheers!

[@maridegall]

I would upgrade the engine in my 1994 v6 camaro

[@dandorris8531]

Bought my merch for a chance to win the giveaway motor. Sure would go well with my 70 chevelle that's been sitting stagnant for over 30 years.

[@sterlingwilkey2124]

I know I will get some flack for saying this, that engine would be a killer one for my old 1977 dodge w200 4x4. It's a retired army truck a m882.

[@ericjackson6184]

One of the best parts of this channel is seeing the growth of the next generation. Seeing the bond between Father and Son doing something you both love is something special.. My father has turned wrenches his entire life. Growing up that was what we did together . Sadly we drifted apart. So seeing you guys doing this is awesome. The KZbin aside Family is everything.

[@Techangler65]

Man this engine would look awesome in my American 🇺🇸 Truck. Lol.

[@bcbloc02]

Not sure the best way to mount this in my geo metro! 😂

[@kene6838]

I need that motor for my custom 4x4 motor home I’m building please.

[@johndee6916]

If you enjoy motorsports, vote accordingly in November. One party wants you to not be driving gasoline combustion engines, the other party is for Freedom.

[@noahdunaway]

That 555 is very similar to my 557 build that I built and installed in my 1978 Chevy BIG10 pickup that I ordered new with a 454. I used a Dart block 4.500” bore with an Eagle 4.375” stroke crank, Edelbrock square port heads, Edelbrock Air gap dual plane manifold with a 850 Holley (that I bought new in 78). I also used a solid roller cam but somewhat conservative because I use the truck to pull my 26’ enclosed with my dragster. I wish I would have taken the time to dyno the motor because it is a torque monster. I still have the original T-400 transmission that I beefed up years ago and 3.73 gear that I ordered it with. I ran it a few times a the track and ran high 11’s. Its pretty heavy to me for a short bed and when I weighed it with cast iron heads it was almost 5,000 lbs with me in it and I’m about 215 lbs. funny thing is that the gas didn’t seem to change hardly any, still 9 to 10 mpg.

[@robertlarsonjr7709]

I will say definitely love seeing the father and son combo definitely the highlight of the video like seeing when successful businesses keep things in the family. And talk about the best prize to win on KZbin I’ve seen yet!

[@christopherch7307]

93' FORD TEMPO my 96hp engine needs an upgrade BROTHERRRRRR

[@SuperMegaStick]

Watching this, seeing how cool and technical this all is, just puts into perspective how difficult it is as well. Going to a professional like Steve with all his years of experience really seems like the best option. I can't imagine trying to do this yourself without having someone like Steve teach you every step of the way. What a wonderful trade with such exceptional skill and precision

[@williammayer5901]

Awesome video steve! Keep up the great work! Like everyone I would love to drag with one of your engines someday!

[@coreystrong4384]

It must be so hard talking/explaining and doing all at once Steve. I learn something new every time I watch a video of yours. Thank you

[@charlessipe1326]

That's why I buy merchandise!

[@imtheonevanhalen1557]

If anyone has ever checked a brand new timing chain-gear set-up after a few runs, this degree bizz is ummm....not worth the time? It's why pro-stock engines run Jesel belt drives. Unless you're into replacing the chain-gear setup once every few days, go to a gear drive system..........takes a lot longer for the gears to develop wear and back-lash.... Still wondering why the floating wrist pins?.......makes no sense at all....

[@stevemorrisracing]

It is a full floating pin

[@christianponopp8756]

Dang I wanna put this im my classic car...but would it fit an 1963 (GM) Opel Olympia?

Hi Steve. This not related to your video. Please forgive me. I would really appreciate your advice. I have a LS2 L98 motor bore to 4.030" Wisco K448X3 pistons. Make good power on wheels (389kw on wheels) but still smoking and use oil. Ring gup is perfect piston to sleeves glearence good. Dubbel check at different machine shops. What can be the cause?. I would really like, and appreciate if you can give me same guidence. Thanks Steve.

Fingers crossed. 4 shirts. Key chain. Hoodies. And a hat. If I win I’ll be able to put the boat back together before you get pistons for the other engine lol.

[@arturozarate1752]

So what are the brand and specs of the cam, pistons, cylinder heads, intake and what rods? Did I miss it somewhere in the video? You cant build a proven 800HP engine if you dont know the recipe that they used.

[@deshaunspencer6985]

That would be the perfect engine for my 62 Bel Air 4 door! Grandpops car would be a runner then.

[@anrescue]

Hi, Question..... there's no need to use a stretch gauge on the rod bolts ? If not when would it be necessary? How about the arp special grease they say to put on the threads and under the heads of the bolts? I'm building an VW aircooled type 1 motor and they recommend the stretch gauge and grease. Thanks for all the info
