Test Fitting The 383 Stroker, More PROBLEMS, AND Engine DYNO.. How Much POWER Will It Make??

[@markleblanc3447]

472 horse. Very respectable Small Block.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks Mark!

[@billtaglia2865]

I subscribe to many KZbinr sites dealing with vehicle content. I really look forward to your updates of the Camaro. I can only take so much of detailing jobs on the Nastiest and dirtiest cars ever. Your content always draws me in and never use the fast forward button. Keep up the great videos.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

I really appreciate that Bill, thanks for sticking with me

[@dennisostler9613]

Wow, this is going to be as much “go” as “show” you are doing an outstanding restoration and technology upgrade on this beautiful Camaro. Really enjoy your updates, thanks for sharing Ryan 🤙

[@brian2359]

That thing is go through tires like crazy!! That’s one hell of a health engine!! Congrats Ryan!!!

[@Supercell725]

Good to see you again Ryan. 475 hp, that baby is going to fly. Enjoyed the video very much. When time allows, gift us old car guys another video, be safe young man.

[@donbearden1953]

Ryan, it’s great to hear from you! When the video first showed your engine on the dyno I was thinking 450 to 475 hp and I’m glad it tuned out on that upper end! I certainly hope that you’re driving it by now and get to put a few miles on it before it snows. I’ve watched every video that you’ve posted on KZbin about this car and it’s definitely a great car and it couldn’t have been rebuilt or restored no better by an individual that’s not in the restoring business. If you ever decide to sell it, it should bring top dollar!!! Thanks for letting me enjoy your build!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Nice to hear from you Don and I appreciate your support! You were right on the money with the hp 👍👍

[@davidfarias4822]

SWEET! The motor finally arrived! I've been "like you" waiting so long for this day. I've watched every video on the Camaro. The first day you took it out of the barn, to the present day. Dyno showed ya pushing 426 Hp? Back in the day I use to date woman that was that fast. Sorry for the flash back. Can wait for the day you and your wife go for your first high way drive.

[@tonybosworth5382]

Ryan, well done👏! Good to see it coming together! Like the others, I have been waiting for an upload! I hope to get my GTO started no later than Sunday. Glad to see your progress.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks Tony! I will be watching for your video 👍

[@cheverra6886]

Solid numbers, what was the Dyno correction factor Your shop used? I just dynoed an Dart 400 sbc with AFR heads last week.

[@kimballprojects7729]

Looking forward to seeing it all together!

[@riwoof]

That car is going to be so 🔥HOT 🔥!! I'm so anxious to see it done. I hope your Dad heals quickly!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks Bob!

[@richardalbritton8163]

Great job Ryan. It’s all coming together. Clean and mean stroker, nice numbers.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thank you!

[@jimmccune568]

That car will fly Ryan! wow. Nice work as usual.

[@iamrichrocker]

Ryan..glad to see you and your killer Camaro..to say i am envious is for sure..to say i am very impressed with your efforts is a definite given..hope all is well and healthy with you and yours..

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks, I appreciate you sticking with me!

[@chriscatarcio2983]

Don and Jeremy. Are great people.. l did not realize you were local. I figured you were from Texas. Lol. Good luck.

[@AutomanZ]

What an amazing engine and car. All your hard work and patience is slowly paying off. I look forward to every new video you put out on this car.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks, it’s getting there!

[@joebuckley9940]

Congratulations on another milestone! Getting that much closer must be rewarding. Awesome configuraion, certainly plenty of power while tame enough to cruise around town on date nite! Memories to last a lifetine. Only in America!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Exactly, thanks Joe 👌

[@JOne0442]

It's a beast bro. It's one of the best feelings in the world to hear your engine firing up for the first time after finishing a build. I know all about the push rod length measuring, it's a royal pain. I put a Brain Tooley Racing stage 2 V2 Truck cam in my 5.3 2000 Silverado. New Morel lifters, mildly ported and polished, plus lapped all new valves in another set of heads to go back on. Really a pain to measure push rods when the engine is still in the vehicle. I had to get 10- 7.350 and 5- 7.375 and 1- 7.325 length pushrods. When dealing with LS engines you have to get the length perfect to work with the lifter preload due to non-adjustable rocker arm design. Next up, TBSS/NNBS intake, Holley Sniper 90mm throttle body, 36 pound flex fuel injectors. Already have all the needed parts and I can't wait to put them on !!! I have been tuning like crazy with my HPTuner that I have. You should also put a AEM air/fuel ratio gauge in to keep an eye on things. Do it now, before the install. Just have to weld a O2 sensor bong in the header or collector pipe. Don't rush things now, so close, but yet so far away. Later brother.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

It is a surreal feeling for sure when you first hear it. Dang I hated dealing with the pushrod measurements on this simple sbc engine let alone an LS! Nice, you are getting close! Half the battle is getting parts in now a days so thats great you have pretty much everything👌

[@lonnieharris6197]

Nice power motor looks great hope your dad feeling better.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks Lonnie, he’s doing well! Hope all is well with you too

[@K20beats]

great power and torque curve

[@willemvandernest3249]

Well it makes a good amount of power and frankly this is a show car not a drag racing monster or drag car. I would have been more than happy with what it did. Now let's get that car going down the street again 👍👍

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Exactly! Next video will be the first drive 👌

[@tedefinley4780]

Made my weekend. Good job and perfection is well planned by you.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks!

[@timwhaley8406]

I bought a Skip White 383 stroker a few years ago for my 71 Z-28. It will get away from you if your not careful. I think you will be happy with Skip White products.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Yeah everything was good except that balancer, I just got a different one but had to match the balance which could have been bad if we didn’t catch it. Other than that I was happy with their products!

[@user-ge2qn6gp4o]

@@RyanSampsonRPh My 383 short block from skip white was internally balanced and therefore didn't use the counterweight. I'm surprised yours isn't the same way.

[@ecoron2721]

Dyno was super cool. Now you have to get those 472 horses to the pavement!!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Heck yeah!

[@SC457A]

With that kind of power, you are going to have fun. Well, for a little while.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Right? Always want more haha

[@gumballer133]

AFR makes a great set of heads. I love them on my Big Block

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

I’m a fan of them now too! First pair I had a chance to own but they are worth it

I can’t believe you did that without blankets covering the valance and fenders

I’m looking for an excuse to re-paint the car 🙂

[@robertreynolds2726]

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks Robert!

[@stevegrant6247]

What was the cam specs?

[@johnmilner7603]

If it were me I would have bought GM LT1 1 piece guide plates.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Never new of those or I would have! Will store it in the memory bank for the next time I build one, thanks for the info

[@larryburwell8550]

well 472 hp is a nice streetible amount. anymore its just a waste and alot of wheel spin. my best friend has a 2019 gt mustang with 460 hp quad cam coyote engine and after adding the roush cold air system it has 496 aprox. almost too much but with traction control and the 10 speed auto it does just great. computer limits speed to 160. the 10 speed will yank a knot in you neck at every shift

[@oldsmanmike2803]

Sounds like a marvelous street engine, great torque! Your going to need bigger tires if you want to try a drag race. Was the molded clay you showed us measuring the gap from the middle of the air cleaner to the hood? Did you check the hood clearance at the front top edge of the air cleaner to the hood as well? Depending on how the hood slopes downwards this could get closer to that front edge of the air cleaner. Hopefully your hood does not make that a problem but wanted to mention it. I guess you will find out as you do the final install. Here is a person that shows an air cleaner housing for a big block that is very low, with like a 3 inch recess, just in case you need to make some more room. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6fVinZ9rK2grq8

[@sporty196071]

Looks great, I was a bit surprised that the HP was so low. I have run many small blocks 327s, 302s, and 350s, in street cars never had a chance to dyno the 327s, but most 302s and 350s were over 600 HP, well done.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

I was hoping for a little over 500hp but I stuck with a smaller cam for a little better drivability so that is most likely the reason 🙂
