Who gets the parts you guys use once? Or do they go into a giant warehouse for later shows??

[@PowerNationTV]

@@daveb3505 Hi Dave, It really depends on the part, the build, or the show. Often times, they are sold with the project vehicle or engine they were a part of. Sometimes they're reused for different projects. It can vary from build to build and part to part.

Basic porting and gasket-matching, and a how-to guide on making the most of a carburetor would be interesting. This went from "budget" to "how to use stock rods and not damage expensive parts" build.

[@captainswampy9501]

And the intake for 3300-8000 RPMS. I didn't realize they were building a race engine. Daily driver runs 1000-3500 occasionally seeing 4-5000. I guess they never said what the engine was for. I was hoping for nice streetable package before they went ape shit and threw the bank at it.

[@shawnbroyles8274]

Your not to picky Joe isnt spending his hard earned money like we are

[@mfree80286]

The motor only needs to last long enough to break in the cam and do a couple dyno runs, then it's probably going to get either stuffed on a shelf for the next decade, or disassembled and the loaned parts handed back to Trick Flow.

[@juniormint3136]

When u get nothing but free bolt on crap u can nick cranks all day

[@brettb.7425]

Y’all are right. We spend the money we work hard for on this stuff so when we build engines, we want them clean, oil clearances within spec, nothing out of round, etc so it’s an engine that will last. Good to know others think like I do anymore.

[@jackflash6377]

Be sure to use a hardened oil pump drive shaft. I didn't and it left me stranded on the road once. The drive comes from the distributor which is turned by the cam. An aftermarket pump needs more power and the stock shaft is not up to the task.

[@buckykattguitar]

Jack Flash the pump came with a new shaft.

[@pauljanssen2624]

Plus you have to make sure the distributor has a bigger roll pin in it so it doesn't share a solid roll pin or hardened roll pin I used to use drill drill bit made into roll pin

[@michaelovitch]

The spark plugs test : less NOX is maybe caused by simply having a colder spark plug. You need to test same ranges of plugs to really tell.

[@Jeremy_Hill_2020]

That engine would look nice in my ranger 😈

[@DarylWade]

Ok all of this is great! Have you checked milage on the bigger building for a daily driver, compared to a stock build? If it's breathing better it should get better milage! I did this with a 302 and went from 14 mpg hwy to 19 carrying 3000 Pounds in the bed with a cover from ND to Washington State. Month of May, still some colder weather at night yet warm during day.

For what it's worth these were produced in 2009 for television with segments so often then you'd work on a certain project for 2 segments and another project for 2 segments or sometimes 3 segments to 1 depending on what work we're doing and what makes sense workflow at the time.

385 hp and 493 fr lbs on a smog block, not bad with a mild comp replacement cam and open chamber heads for a baseline a stock 69-71 460 was rated at a gross 365 hp and 500 ft lbs.

[@scdevon]

Those were great numbers with the cast iron heads and a warmed over stock short block. Similar to the stock numbers from the golden era of 1969 to 1971. This 460 would pull at least as good as the old Thunder Jet 429 engines back then which was kind of a detuned 429 Cobra Jet.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I took my 76 Chevy Camaro in for a tune up and the shop I chose installed these cheap ass Chinese plugs that were just horrible. I drove it home and it was running worse than it did before the tune up. I went straight back and we narrowed it down to the plugs. I watched as they pulled them out and was floored when I saw them. I told them to go to the AutoZone and get a set of E-3's and HOLY SHIT did it make a huge difference. Now, I run them in every engine I own, from the cars to the lawn mower to my chain saw.

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

the only thing they don't tell you about the E3 plugs is that they promote detonation because the increased mass of the enlarged side electrode acts as a heat soak, and runs the electrode hotter for the same heat range of plug. that's where the improvements come on the computer, but if you drive up in the low mountains on a hot humid day, the motor will ping like a popcorn maker under high load, low throttle lugging. so when you reduce your timing advance to compensate, those so called improvements are out the window. just stick to OEM style resistor plugs and change them every 12k if it's a driver. they have been trying to sell goofy spark plugs since day one, and they never catch on. for a reason.

While its not in this episode but the prior one, its nice to see them finally use a torque plate when boring out a block.

[@deeremeyer1749]

You don't use a torque plate "boring out a block". It's used when finish-honing and is only "recommended" for "high performance" POS "thin-wall casting" blocks with 4 head bolts per cylinder "bored out to the max". Meaning all Ford "high performance" OHV V8s.

[@albertgaspar627]

@@deeremeyer1749Ah, that must be why torque plates are always used on Chevy Gen One engines with 5 bolts per cylinder :) Boring out the block does all the work, finish honing merely leaves a surface for the oil film, and if you want ring seal to last beyond 10,000 miles, professionals use a torque plate. The only time a torque plate is ever skipped on a real engine build is when the engine design bolts the head into the block's walls, like Pontiac blocks. Otherwise, when the head bolts go into the deck, you torque plate to replicate the distortion to the bore.
