Watch Over 13:1 on Pump Gas! Chevy 350 Dyno Mule: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okYyReBncC8
No sweat holds in heads?
Just goes to show u…you don't need an LS to have fun
All 400s i have taken apart have had .0006 tenths of a thouandths or just a little over half a thouandths over size . Oh i should have said up front i have my own engine rebuilding shop, sorry, just got up, i like 400s and build them mainly for torque monsters for street machines,..Dont need really low gears, just lots of torque !
What headers are ya'll using? I need some bigger headers for my Small Block 427 in my 1982 Corvette. I have Schoenfeld 1-3/4 headers with the 3" collectors now. I am using a rack and pinion so I have more header room now.
Travis LOVES letting everyone know he’s familiar with engines…he rambles on and on and on and on and on lol
350 crank?
I spent 2 years building(what i considered the perfect high revving 383 stroker street engine) between ordering a little part's hear and there. I sent a high nickle factory 350 engine block to the best machine shop in my hometown. Getting the cylinders bored .040 over, crank mains line honed, debuting the entire engine inside and out, opening up and smoothing out all oil gallery's and returns, getting the Callies balanced and knife edged crankshaft with lightweight Callies compstar H-beam rod's with Icon 10cc forged dome pistons installed. The heads are Brodix SBC 225cc D/S Heads 68cc 2.08/1.60 valves and beehive springs.
I broke it in and drove it all summer, adding some Rislone Hy-per Cool Super Coolant additive to water only. We'll winter came around and I checked all my toys to make sure they had antifreeze in them. We'll beings the coolant additive is the same color as antifreeze, I didn't pay it no attention. Needless to say after freezing temperatures both sides of my block cracked in multiple places………..I felt like throwing up when I seen that lol…… after saving for half the year i replaced the cracked factory block with a world products aluminum block.
6 years later and thousands of 8,000 rpm pulls it still running strong.
Did he make the same "internet pump gas numbers" joke, twice?

Wouldn't it be nice to get to hellcat engine power with no forced induction.
Pat-when you start talking about internet HP, just remember not everybody on the internet is correcting @ STPIP.
It also has a different stroke

Only know it alls use a pocket saver in the right shirt pocket
Kids love their way overused catchphrases, like a ton of this and a ton of that, or everything is crazy.
OK, stock crank, .030 over. What rods/pistons? What cam, what heads?
Why doesn't old mate put a few more pens in his pocket? I dont think he has enough.
Of course, youll want to slide the cam in with the block rotated upside down so if you damage the cam bearings you wont damage the thrust side of them,… Unlike these guys
Dont use a small screwdriver, you can scratch tgem and makevthem fragile. You can buy a specific installation tool, use that.
Fill the block all but an inch or so at the top to allow some coolant flow. This procedure was not all that uncommon in high performance racing engines.
sbc main bolts max torque 65 ft-lbs. Chrysler small block main bolts max torque 85 ft-lbs. did chevy under do it or did Chrysler over do it?
Who cares just a junk chevy
If you ever have that much trouble taking off a cylinder head, first make certain you got ALL the bolts. then, undo the rocker arms so every valve is closed, grab a leakdown tester device that lets you pump air into the cylinder, and find a cylinder at TDC and give it some air. unless the head gasket is blown or the piston rings are gapped wide open, the air pressure might be enough. Also, it's a lot easier to slip the camshaft in before the crankshaft.
Put your block on the floor, bellhousing-side down. Gravity will be your friend as you drop the camshaft in vertically, and you can do this dry, smearing on lube as you guide it past new cam bearings by reaching into the crankcase. now your lube stays inside the crankcase instead of leaking on your shoe. Now use an engine hoist to get it up in the air, bolt on the apparatus from your engine stand so that you only have to guide it into place on the stand rather than hang the engine and try to get every bolt to match the stationary engine stand.
Help me help my dad we have go some one build a old DZ 203 OUT of a 327 chevy block we put it in and was gonna brake it in and only had 5 min and it wasn't right I Checked the oil and they where metal shaving in it and we took it back to the builder but I hope it will get built right or if not wished you would build it and put it on your Dino and help us. Street and drag
