@@skinlab4239 it's called marketing for parts makers. They write these things off on their annual promo budgets. Plus most guys don't have the knowledge and skill to build an engine which is why the crate is so popular. So having piles of spares is not exactly common.

@@lexriordan8566 guilty. That's just my experience watching friends build engines. Most people can't change oil let alone build an engine. I probably could because it's a lot of attention to detail and some mechanical aptitude. However I wouldn't hold my breath for it lasting 100k miles. It's like building an ar15. Yes I can build one. And I have built a few. But unless I'm using top shelf parts buying is cheaper. Same with engine building. A lot of times buying is cheaper unless you are doing something on the higher end of the spectrum. And buying you get a known item. Opposed to building yourself which without some solid knowledge isn't easy.

[@rod928s4]

Yes, I agree Mark. I wish they had mentioned that point.

[@TwentytenS4B8]

So will properly jetting the larger carb. The engine will take what it needs and anything else is surplus. No different that installing larger injectors for that power adder you plan to add on fuel injected cars. As long as the ECU has the proper parameters, drivability and throttle response will remain largely unchanged. Same principals apply to carbs. The guys on Engine Masters have also addressed this and they got similar results.

Find a factory roller block.... Stuff a flat tappet cam in it. The smaller cam made more peak because the LSA was 112 vs the wider 114 on the "bigger" cam. If the bigger cam had moved in the right direction, say 110 LSA, it would have made more power everywhere, despite the intake restriction. But then I don't know why anyone would slap a flat cam into a block that was made for a roller? Don't need break-in or have to worry about wiping out a lobe. Perhaps instead on installing a starter see if you can scrounge up an old crank handle off a Model T?

Size of carb is irrelevant. The engine will take what it needs. It's like installing larger injectors in preparation for a future power adder. It might have 900 CFM available, but if it doesn't need it, it will not use it. Wrong jetting will kill horsepower and can cause engine damage by washing out the cylinder walls but not a larger carb. I'm glad you addressed this because I've seen far too many arguments on this subject. The guys on Engine Masters also addressed this.

[@SARJENT.]

Would a larger carb spacer help instead changing the manifolds?

[@backinblck1]

It will to a degree but the problem is runner length and port velocity. The dual plane they are running has long runners and the stacked layout works well at lower RPM but because of the indirect path to the cylinder head the air charge has to make several direction changes impeding flow. The spacer will only give you more plenum volume so you still run into the issue sf the air having to make several turns at the high rpm where the direct path improves performance.

[@TwentytenS4B8]

It would help a little. But that intake is a bottle neck and the only way to fix that is to change it out for one with more runner volume. Then you need to decide if you want torque = long runner or higher RPM horsepower = short runner.

[@DrewBe59635]

In the past the show featured a 2.3 Ford four cylinder race motor build. What about building a GM four cylinder. Oh and, maybe putting a turbo on it for some crazy dyno pulls.

[@marvin984]

I notice that you did not mention what the air fuel ratio was with either carb . I never was able to get away with out jet changes either . And I might have been taught wrong . But I was taught that a smaller venture speed ed up the air flow . Which Atomized the fuel better .

[@BuzzLOLOL]

This build made no power!

[@Andy47357]

those E3 plugs probably had a better spark gap distance that the engine liked. i have tested re gapping my plugs all to be equal and moved the gap closer and picked up 12hp and my engine likes to run .013” tighter gap than factory. don’t need to waste money on expensive plugs when you can tune your own

[@TwentytenS4B8]

E3's also incorporate a capacitor in the body of the plug. But that having been said, just indexing your existing spark plugs makes a difference in power and efficiency. Pro Top Fuel teams index the plugs so it must work.

A pro shop with its own dyno, has parts like these lying around. For those of us with the bad habit of hitting swap meets to buy whatever is too cheap to pass up, the recipe goes...1979 302 block we never used because we know its weak. Forged standard bore pistons we got from a 1991 block we stroked to 347 cid. A set of 351W heads we consider using but find the crack we forgot about after we assemble a valvetrain, so we go to the junkyard to buy a GT40P pair from an Explorer. A high riser single plane that doesn't match our cam choice. A rusty set of stock OEM Mustang headers that don't fit the GT40P until we massage them. then we end up buying the rest of the pieces. It makes 200 hp at an unstreetable RPM, but we forgot what we paid for all these parts, so we're happy its "free" after what we spent to repair all the rust on the car its going into. And glasspacks make it sound great as a new Honda reminds us a 351W could make 50 hp more...

Don't follow this build made weak power! With 180cc heads expect first cam to make 400 HP and 2nd cam to make 500 HP !!!

[@WestleyBates]

i wanna see them do a ford 255 v8 ....an emissions v8 from the 80s

[@TwentytenS4B8]

They used a 302 short block from 1987. They were all smog engines.

[@sirdavidr6064]

There’s no reason to build using flat tappets

[@stephenparker8460]

Especially when you’re using a factory roller block like they did

[@w.kookas5761]

I agree totally?

[@TwentytenS4B8]

I get the "scavenged" theme of it but I really don't know anyone that would stuff a flat tappet cam into a roller block unless they were desperate for transportation. Most people I know would go shopping for a roller cam for the roller block they are working on. Roller cams are not that expensive.

[@BuzzLOLOL]

OF course there is! Flat tappet is $500 - 900 less money! No reason to do such a crap build: This build made weak power! With 180cc heads expect first cam to make 400 HP and 2nd cam to make 500 HP !!!

Let's pull apart a pretty good engine and build a pretty good engine.

[@BuzzLOLOL]

This engine was sick... low HP...

[@NVzla]

Ford Vulcan? No, Ford Vulture.
