Ooooh a cheap block and then throw 60,000$ in parts at it. So much diy.
it's not a 512 unless you went .060 over, .030 makes it a 505
Why do you call it a 512 when a 4.25" crank and .030" over makes a 505?
They should have shot peened the block and removed all the rust then use high temperature engine primer and paint instead of painting over the rust
the 440 has a taller deck height is 10.725 and the 383 is 9.98 even the shorter deck is taller than a 454 chevy which is 9.80 a ford 460 is 10.32 leaving the 440 capable of being the largest displacement motor of all which is why its strange you would only go 515 when you went so large with the chevy the 440 can easily go to 600cubes .
My 440 i never alined the engine block but thats the only one I dont do block alignment
U guys rock love ur videos ❤
I had a old engine it was a under square cylinder and piston that thing at 2000 rpms would put out 800 hp it was a v8 can you tell my what that engine was it eas a older on thank jack
How hard is it to find one of these engines? I don't have anything to put it in but I just wanna build one!
Pat needs more in his shirt pockets
That was one sweet buildup! There is one error @ 11:38 worth clarifying, that Milodon 7QT pan fits 1974 and earlier Mopar A,B,C, and E body cars, not 64’ and earlier….if it only fit 64 and earlier that would eliminate E bodies entirely (they debuted in 1970) , C bodies, and the entire muscle car era of A and B body cars.
was there no reason to check block clearances with the 512 stroker kit?
Why 112 degrees on the lobe separation? Why not more like 108?
This engine DID NOT have 375 HP. The build date is 12/21/1971 making it a 1972 model year with low compression, 8.3:1 and 245HP NET max, not gross.Chevy guys, I swear!!!!
Yeah but if you're a poor boy😂
Pat, I know we’re spoiled now with the stroker options sometimes being cheaper than a performance rebuild but there’s just something satisfying about a big block with a big bore and a short crank. 427 Chevys, 429 fords and 440s in moderate trim just sang a pretty song. For the street, a real 383 with decent heads, ignition and a solid flat tappet would would be a lot of fun in a light car like a Dart, early Barricuda or Duster/Demon
I am curious about this build as I was under the impression some mock assembly and clearance grinding would need to be done to spin the additional .250 stroke I had also heard some special oil plumbing would be necessary and is there a reason for the high volume oil pump? one would think it may put additional stress on the cam gear and cause the cam button to come apart
Please excuse the critique, but a 4.25 bore, and a 4.35 stroke equals 505 CID.
Love the RB wedge!!!
Put the camshaft in dry
