The Original BigFoot Engine Build Part 3 - Engine Power Season 2, Episode 7

[@justinjames6524]

I like how you signed it. $500 says that Engine never gets taken apart again.

[@2511jeremy]

Yup

[@johnnymatias3027]

Maybe in a century or two

[@davelowets]

No kidding... It's going on display for the rest of it's life. 🤦🏻

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

I love how everyone here is an expert on performance engine builds

[@bryanroupe8646]

There will always be those guys. The best part is they probably drive moms Camry.

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

For sure!

[@stevewelborn8744]

Man it turns my stomach to read the comments. People are just rude and disrespectful. It's a wonder anybody lets the general public see anything.

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

Steve Welborn oh man... if their not the best engine builders in the world their whinging about the power it made and them not wringing it’s neck on the dyno, taking no consideration into the account that this engine was designed in the 80s and only freshly started... this is a priceless, irreplaceable piece of Motorsport history. I wouldn’t want to go leaning on it and hurting it either.. imagine if it booted a rod out the side of the block (unlikely but can happen and does happen).. the point of this build was to preserve history, not make a million hp... no one sees this!

[@stevewelborn8744]

D G and they nitpick everything they did to death. I promise you not a one of them would of said shit if they were standing there. Just a bunch of assholes that think there shit don't stink for some stupid reason.

[@waynetaylor420]

I'm not a Ford guy but big foot is for sure a legend. Henry Ford would piss his pants to see all that oval power.

[@delljr2769]

All what power? 116 octane with 600 cubic inches and just around 1000 horsepower? A natural pump-gas engine around 600 inches will make 700 ft/lbs at 5k RPM. That Bigfoot engine should be making 1,500 horse easy. I think they went too high of octane and it ran shitty due to low compression- and blower engines run low compression. What are your thoughts on this build- seriously?

[@waynetaylor420]

@@delljr2769 like I said I'm a Chevy guy... but the technical stuff I dont really know about. So I would be foolish to have much of a discussion about that. The fact is big foot the truck was an icon of my childhood In the early 80s. I bet i could get 1000 hp out of my ls if my checkbook would let me. Lol

[@delljr2769]

@@waynetaylor420 Indeed, a well built LS3 with turbo will easily make 1,000 horse and purrr like a kitten until you stand on it.

[@bryanroupe8646]

Dell Jr you must have one bad engine to he in hear talking shit. Or your just another guy talking shit on the internet.

[@nhraandnascarfanatic5907]

The whole point of this project was to restore and preserve a priceless, irreplaceable piece of Motorsport history... not wring it’s neck and risk kicking the rods out the side of the block.. And I don’t think a lot of people are taking into account the vintage of the engine either, a lot has changed since 1984... and these numbers were huge back in the 80s

[@Shane-Singleton]

This isn't just any rebuild. It's preserving living history.

[@leifhietala8074]

"Hey - you would too!" You're damn right I would.

[@thatrealba]

This engine build has been the most exciting one I have ever seen. i have a picture, somewhere, of me standing underneath that truck as a little kid in the 80s. Bigfoot forever!

[@donniebaker5984]

This is an excellent build guide for a technical college training program..I attended such a program through the university of Illinois back in 1968-1969 on gasoline and diesel engines ..every step you see in this video are the same steps that are taken for large industrial engines of all types ..

This was very satisfying to watch. The close ups, the attention to details, the thoroughness of the rebuild, the straight to the point dialog... Amazing stuff guys! 🤘🏻

[@L1A1Rocker]

Except for not checking crank clearance or putting in the O-Rings.

[@AgentSmith911]

@@L1A1Rocker They probably did that off cam

[@L1A1Rocker]

@@AgentSmith911 Probably? Maybe? No matter what the truth is, IMO it is very poor production quality to; in Part 2 discuss the importance of the O-Rings, show the machining process, and then show nothing about it in Part 3. You are left with the impression that either they forgot to show it, forgot to do it, or decided against it for some reason. Again, IMO it is shows very poor production quality.

[@AgentSmith911]

@@L1A1Rocker Bull shit. Just because they didn't mention every little detail that you assumed they'd include, doesn't mean it's overall a bad production. Very few shows have been this detailed in their shows, even Discovery channel can't compete with this. You're just too full of expectations or spoiled or both. Go make your own show.

[@Bandit69ply]

That was wonderful to hear. I remember my first time seeing this truck and engine combo at the Pontiac Silverdome as a little kid. Nothing compares to this beautiful truck as far as i'm concerned.

[@jimmythepowerful]

These guys sent everything to get rebuilt.. they just put the shit back together... and sign their the engine :))))))))

[@jd52wtf]

Anyone else giggle like a little kid when it made 800hp at 70% max power...... Thing is a beast. Awesome to see the history and the process. I remember being in awe of Bigfoot when I was a kid. Still dropping my jaw 35 years later.

[@bravofoxable]

Wow you guys! Well done, all that time and focus on detail is admireable. Monster of a motor

[@xs-1b415]

Watching an engine being built is so enjoyable... almost as fun as doing it yourself.

[@05greendmax]

I’ve grew up with this truck Going to every event possible as a kid I sat in the wheels of this truck at an event Wow the memories

[@DanielThomason1]

Ford made more than one of those blocks/heads, but none more iconic than this one! It’s a a shame kids nowadays aren’t watching this and learning monster truck history.

[@pauljanssen2624]

It's nice to see somebody knew how to set the timing and the recheck the valve adjustment

[@luciankristov6436]

My little 5.4 2v with a vmp gen 3 soon to be R makes 787 rear wheel hp 813 lbs of torque at 6200rpm on 23 lbs of boost. 890 ish at the crank. Crazy how technology has come so far. Still wouldn't mind having that big bastard in my engine collection.

[@TeamDrif-Tastik]

It's on the conservative side. I'm sure it can blow your two valve with more tunning

[@TheJimbodean67]

There’s no replacement for displacement. Watching that engine go back together gave me chills. Now do a monster truck budget engine build. Your budget is 50k. Thanks guys, great work.

[@TrollgoneGamer]

Except their is. They can get this kind of power out of 1.6L/100ci 4 cylinder. I can't deny it's an amazing engine though. Awesome work indeed.

[@redbackspider]

I love watching engines being built by people who know what they are doing and care about the end product. Sweet build and some great tricks. Cheers :)
