Was good to meet you Nick and I know you'll put these parts to good use, which Dad would have wanted.

[@dzperformance7360]

I'm going to keep track of this batch of motors and I'm anxious to show you where your dad stuff. Lands. I think He would be happy , They'll be in muscle cars and street strip machines. all over, the United States . Thanks for the tour and sharing these parts with me.

I'm probably going to be selling a complete 427 Truck engine. It's complete. Has the 402 heads on it. Don't know much about as I've never had it apart. I'm in Michigan also. If anyone is interested.

I only deal in the short deck stuff(9.8).It sounds like you've got tall deck motors

[@rickbaker9053]

@@dzperformance7360 Correct it is a tall deck. I actually inherited it. I heard some people actually do like them for building stroker engines. I guess they were pretty sought after at one time. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks for responding. I enjoy your videos by the way as I do like big blocks.

I see Jeff Lee has more stuff listed for sale several sets of 049s I wonder if the remaining sets are good cores?Did you get a chance to look them all over?3 hours east of me might make a good road trip…

[@dzperformance7360]

All the stuff I got from him was good and I would have bought more from him but I had a 10-hour drive home and didn't want my truck bumper dragging all that way, my half ton was really loaded down didn't feel safe taking more home with me

[@detroithammer8869]

I need to get some scratch offs on the way to work, gonna need some of that HP!!🤪

[@BigFun4Life]

Nick, I’m looking for your advice I have an opportunity to buy a pair “left and right” mercury crusaders 350 hp 454 gen 4 with world Merlin grumpy Jenkins 1-043D heads.The guy says he pulled them to go bigger cubes.I know I haft to treat them like cores but could a guy turn them into a good solid street motor.I know the cams especially the one side I believe rotate differently..But what’s your recommendation..I haft to keep budget friendly..Anyway I’m always a fan and always tune in to all your videos from the beginning.Thanks for sharing your knowledge..

[@dzperformance7360]

Gyn4 bbc 454s sounds like a great idea to me,, The only obstacle you need to keep in mind with boat motors , that has been a boat motor for a long time.Is the cylinder head bolts threads that go into the block ,sometimes deteriorate and give out,, Which is no big deal?You can Healy coil them with a hand drill and tap.Do it yourself ,kind of thing.But you just gotta keep that in mind you may have to redo half of the head bolt threads, in the block

[@dzperformance7360]

What I'm getting at is I have bought a lot of boat motor blocks and if they was a boat motor for a long time when you're tq. the heads down.Don't be surprised if you pop a couple threads out of the block because they're old and rusty,,

[@dzperformance7360]

Every time I do that I take the head off and do all of the bolt holes close to it healy coil and put it back together

[@dzperformance7360]

You can always call me and we can put our minds together and figure it out 816 213 7204 Nick

[@BigFun4Life]

@@dzperformance7360 thanks again I never really thought about Lake water running through as coolant. I will definitely keep that in mind. Good thing is here in Michigan It’s all freshwater and not saltwater but still could corrode more,If I have any questions Nick, I will definitely get in touch. I appreciate you putting out your knowledge and sharing with all of us. Thanks again. I appreciate it..

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Hey love your channel I've messaged you a few times before I have a 427 that's bored 0.60 over so it's a 439 it's about 10.7 to 1 compression I have afr 265vheads and a howards hydraulic roller the cam specs are 235x241 duration with 618 lift and it's got a 108 lsa. I'm wanting to change to a solid roller I have it's the comp cams xr292r the specs are 254x260 with 660 x666 lift with a 110 lsa someone did a video awhile back and the guy had the same heads and went from a hydraulic roller to a solid and all he did was used a different spring retainer and lock or keepers have you ever heard of anyone doing this before? Or is there anyway I can use the same springs? Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance . Your friend Rick 42⁷

[@dzperformance7360]

My favorite valve Spring for a street strip.Solid roller like you're talking about is the comp. cam's 933-16
