Please more engine builds!!! More more more. Different engines too.
More Trucks! episodes please
Yeah more engine builds and not just pushrod engine how about DOHC engines ???
How about slapping a twin turbo kit and fuel injection on it?
I've seen pump gas 496 that make more power than this on one carburetor versus 1 carburetor on your 572
I can't believe it! I just went and checked behind my wood pile, and there next to some old greasy parts was a GM 572 block with chickens living in it! I moved some old sheets of iron and there in a mouse nest was a complete rotating assembly with 4340 Callie's crank and rods and je pistons. Stuck in the fork of my shade tree was a pair of GM heads freshly ported by Livernois motorsport! I ran in the house to tell my wife and tripped over a tunnel ram on my front door step! While lying on the ground I saw a pair of QFT black diamond carbs in a Ravens nest! While climbing the tree to get to the Ravens nest I grabbed a branch which was a Crane 4/7 swap solid roller! When I got out the tree the wind blew away some dead leaves exposing all other required valve train, carb and other small parts! All I had to do was go and look! Well I'll be damned...
All spare parts
@@maxwelllevy5760 this morning I cleaned out the chicken coop and found a Boss 302 😂
Good thing everyone has at least 3 Jesel belt drives just laying around too............
That’s a great little story!
Can't. That's my yard
I have four or five of those 572's sitting around..... I use them for kitchen chairs. They last forever!
Don’t we all?
You sound like you own a Ford
Nope, no Ford's on my property. Sorry to disappoint
Why you say that? they junk?
@@unclequack5445 not at all. They x-pen-siv
Next up: Budget Building an Allison V12 in your living room with spare parts everybody has laying around.
James Myers : I saw a short block in the donation pile at my local Goodwill. Let’s do this!
Next. We put the 572 into a mini bike. And go bracket racing.
And a few weeks from now, How to build a Merlin for under $40,000
Make a turbocharger from a hoover vacuum!
James, i just found a Roll Royce Merlin V-12 in my garden shed. may we can build these up, and see each other at the race track. we'll show them Chev guys how its done.
I have the flex-hone and WD40...Just need $20k more.
Buff Barnaby me too,
"You can do this at home" Uses a pair $10,000 parts washers.
Or the home dishwasher.
Yeah you really can do this at home, just break out the brushes and garden hose. Parts washers are nice, but theres other ways.
Was thinking the same thing. Who has a $4k washing cabinet and a $6 ultrasonic parts washer at home? (Not to mention $10k in new condition parts laying around)
Pressure washer and a cleaner from Dollar General called "Awesome" works too. Cleans blocks right up.
All of these shows are realistic when it comes to “budget” builds. Yet again my budgets are usually minuscule.
Had a 572 in my boat 675 hp. Was a beast, yes the idle was nasty .I could listen to that engine all day.
Pretty tame big block.. watch engine Masters.. they have a 454 that puts out 620 with a solid roller cam..
stanley kendziorski ok.
Im gonna build a 632 from left over parts today.
My budget ended with the dingle ball hone and WD-40... 💲💲💲 I'm more of a re-ring, lap the valves, and rv cam kinda guy...
same
9k of parts just sitting around.....we all have those!
That's what I was thinking. All these parts sitting around
When my shelf parts look like those, they still have a price tag.. not dust..
The Bosses spare parts .
No shit right? These guys wouldn't be allowed within 50 feet of my low dollar junk.
I definitely got this shit laying around... you acquire alot drag racing for 20 years
With power like that you could reverse continental drift.
Yeah I wish I had a Chevy 572 just hanging around to my house lol but I can't deny it's great engine
Gotta love a killer Big Block Chevy engine. Kinda looks like what I need,for my 67 Caprice. Big car, big engine!
Perfect. I have all these parts laying around in my garage.
Love to see some big cubic inch naturally aspirated stuff!
You guys do the best engine builds 👌
The 557 inch bbf they did made 750 hp with a single 4 barrel. I would have liked to see how much more power the ford would have made with a tunnel ram.
Yeah and it's 15 cu inches smaller. Go Ford.
apples to oranges...the chevy used "Chevrolet performance parts" block, heads and intake. the ford used trick flow cnc competition heads and intake. it also had more compression. both good engines.
Everybody has that stuff laying around the all Garages and backyards in my Neighbourhood
I like how y’all do a lot of these builds that use pump gas and not E-85 or E-90 keep it up!
That's Gina be a cool set-up top to bottom thanks guys for Sharing
4/7 swap only works if the distributor is run off the back of the cam. spark is a little more accurate. does nothing for crank trigger. displacement is torque. hp is in the heads.
My dad used gasoline when honing. He claimed it to pull impurities out of cylinder walls . Never had any issues . i have seen ATF used , WD40 , Marvel Mystery Oil.
KY probably works well too, anything that lubes really...
Diesel fuel is what I use.
I built bugatti chiron engine from leftover parts
Love you guys, great work! Hugs from Brazil
Def not a "build a big block with spare parts" video by ANY stretch if the imagination!
obviously a youtube click-bait.
switching 7 and 4 change the sound so much its sick
That was awesome. Tune my Chevy big block. Thanks for the great video.
I love that big block sound. Mean!
that is awesome power love those big blocks
With 93 octane they should have bumped up compression to about 10:5. That carb and intake is huge and 572 inch should be around 750 horse 700 torque.
I love this show .LOVE IT!!!!!
I think the headers are a tick small and long. 2.250 stepped to 2.375 at 10 inches with an overall primary length of 26 inches into a 4 inch real merge collector would be worth some power at 5500rpm and up. Good episode.
I will love to see that engine in a chevelle. Love your work.👍
In a Chevett
Well I'll be damned... I just went out to check and I do have a stroker kit for my 351w laying around. Thanks for reminding me.
I wonder if powernation does a tribute build with their spare parts for people that want a little more horse out of their vehicles passed down through loved ones who passed away
It's a little different not having all new parts, huh? Said no man ever!
I'm so glad that says "Cam swap". Lol
Yes, we ALL have parts and new 572 big block just gathering dust...
You guys are doing 572 and of C.I ??? Man i am drooling from eyes, nose, mouth..man this is a Gem!!!! An iron 572 block!! Saw one in action on KZhead, description was custom 572 8 litre ...and it as sounded so sweet!!
This episode was absolutely Beautiful 👌🏾💯
That's the craziest cam iv ever seen
I like You guys and your builds. I truly wish you would put more timing in your dyno runs. Sure there is a perfect timing number for every build or engine design. Typically a big block chevy likes between 36 and 40 degrees. With only 9.6 compression and that huge cam, bump it up and see where peak power is. Thanks for all you do.
I wish i had shit like this just sitting on the shelf lmao.
Man very nice.. i live big cubes pump gas NA power.. thing would scream in a lil s10 lol
Damn that motor sounds nice ❤️
im not a big fan of the tunnel ram but it worked here.. like to see the Victor jr with a Fast Fi Kit and some spacer changes,,
Put that in 71 Malibu wagon! The ultimate family truckster
I USED TO WORK AT JASPER ENGINES AND TRANSMISSION IN JASPER, INDIANA.....2004-2008
Should have tried a set of AFR cylinder heads with the single 4bbl intake. Also the compression is way too low for cams this big, giving away a lot of power here. My guess is that the cranking compression is not very high due to the long cams.
Why not a Cadillac 500ci? Lotsa cubes, high nickel block, and aftermarket support.
They have some support, but I wouldn't waste my time with one. Might make an ok tow rig engine though.
@@2015_Rubicnn Check this out. kzhead.info/sun/hMuLfsptgJdufIE/bejne.html After owning 368s/425s/472 and 1 500, i can assure you these engines will live forever.
@@NVzla Didn't they only put the 472 into hearse's?
@@sparkplug1018 472s were in Devilles to Fleetwoods and meat wagons. At 1974, all Cadillacs had a 500, but it was heavily choked with emissions and low compression. Try to score a 1970 500, those were the best ones and made 400hp from the factory.
The oiling system in a Caddy 500 sucks ass. Spin that thing over 5K too many times and you'll spin the bearings right out of it.
I have a 305 from a totalled truck... Might be able to do something like this... In my next life maybe
Can I come work for y'all. Texas good ol' boy with 15 yrs professional experience in high end Euro/racing vehicles. 20+ on domestic. I've been working with tools since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Please read this! Love the videos fellas I try to watch them all keep em coming!
I have one those laying around the garage.
I might be wrong but I would’ve thought when you soak the crank to clean it you ought to also take the core plugs out of the crank....? I seem to remember doing that in my younger day
i like your engine building videos. Its my kind of dumped down sunday entertainment.
Love it!
GUYS WAIT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEAR IT DOWN !! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST GIVE ME THE ENGINE AS IT IS SETUP RIGHT NOW WITH A BOW AND SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
Satin would be proud to put it in his hot rod💀☠💀☠😈😈😈😈
I can't wait
Shiiiit... those two carbs are worth more than the block and rotating assembly itself. 😬👍
My Datsun 120Y engine put out 570 KW (764 HP)
Its got a dismal 9.7-1 compression. I'm pretty sure its plenty safe. That big block wants some timing folks!
damnitman!!!! outstanding!!!
I was able to rebuild a boeing 747 with parts I had in my garden shed!
Heck yeah
i'm sure we all have a bunch of high dollar "leftover" (wink wink) parts just laying around. i'm gonna go take a look in my hall closet right now.
I usually have a few engine blocks and high performance parts laying around the house just waiting to be put together
Tuning changes are made, but then you also raised the pull RPM. Horsepower is going to increase based on just that. Why not keep rpm sweep the same, then make tuning adjustments?
There is a channel called Aging Wheels and he rebuilt a Trabant engine and transmission. It was a lot more fun to watch and more believable for a do it yourselfer.
Imagine having that kind of cubic inches and nice parts and only making 750.
Awesome
If the valve seal is damaged during install its no big deal, just go back to the spare parts bin where the rest of the parts came from and get another one.
With that separation between cylinders, I would get it running and dump it before a head gasket failed.
Must be nice to have all those bits laying around.
You do! It’s just disguised as 3-4 stacks of $100 bills.
I have a set of b1 heads , intake plumbed for nos,7.10 rods, 4.5 crank yall ready to do a mopar?
I want to see them put a 871 blower on that 572 more power RRR!
Where to find? The hone and what size are they both you use ?
I've seriously considered asking Pat to build me the best parts for durability/duration/life span for my 55 sedan delivery! Perhaps a 383 stroker based on the LS bottom and old school upper?
Imagine how much more power it would make at 14:1 with a good cam on 114 .. and for all the comments about not having these parts laying around.... obviously you don't drag race!!
Nope. Most guys dont have Gear like that. Most guys have worn factory parts that they pulled off of the street car that they may run on the weekend. This engine is 10k and you know it. Even your "laying around" parts are off your car for a reason. I bet most are half smoked.
@@scoutdogfsr can build that for under 10. Personally I got a 496 and a 565 and a 632 in my garage. And by no means am I rich. Just run a dragster and parts pile up fast. Not trying to be a dick, but I think its rude to assume people don't have good shit laying around.
I take no issue with you. Hell, your the lucky one and i dont expect you to be rich. My issue is with them telling us (you can do this too). Its puré BS. We are always being sold on the idea that its cheap and easy. It does not matter of its home improvement, cars, trucks, etc, etc. Its click bait BS. Look at the other posts. Im not alone. Now i own a ranch in colorado and we have 5 tall deck bb chevys that are tired and ready to be pulled out and built but im still not close to what they had.. Anyway, hats off to you Sir. I admire your investment and clear thoughts. No disrepect coming from me. Keep the shiny side up and the tires turning!
The career drag racer ( With sponsors.) is going to have stuff like this sitting around. The average Joe who works a 9 to 5 would not.
What motor oil do you use..?
Swap cam to a hydraulic roller & that would be fun on the street. Good power.
They use solid roller cams because they like to spin the engines higher. In the RPM ranges they always run, a hydraulic lifter would pump up at high RPM causing the lash to be grossly out of spec. For the average street engine with occasional drag strip passes hydraulic lifters would suffice.
@@TwentytenS4B8 Solid roller on the street usually means engine failure sooner rather than later. In my opinion not the longevity of the hydraulic roller . Sacrifice a little power for longevity is my theory.
Still learning. The last engine we rebuilt we assembled the parts to recommended ft pounds and discovered that the recommendations were pound foot after the assembly. Why would anyone create such confusion? The engine basically fell apart during break in. Bewildered. Please help
Clean block so you don't cut yourself. LOL
for those of you wondering... that 4-7 cam swap doesn't really make any horse power difference all it does is allow for better cooling and possibly better balance in the firing order.. its a trick but its not much of a trick... most people won't be able to take advantage of (or feel) any gain which is only about 4% maximum with an average much less depending on the engine size.
LOVE THIS SHIT MAN !!
Obviously, we all need PN's junkpile..........lol
I have a stupid question that I've always wondered about. Why are some big roller cams copper between all the lobes? Do they copper plate them before grinding everything in, and why?
It’s not copper. My guess is that’s the coloration left behind by the heat treat process. You don’t see that on the lobes & journals because they’re finish ground after heat treat.
@@Icutmetal ahhhhh you know what I never thought about them heat treating the billet core before grinding... You may be onto something! Thanks for the reply!
Caballos caballos caballos que hermoso puro poder !
A new pen on the collection?
Narrowed bearings have a upper and lower shell on the rods
Wonder what that 572 will do with forced induction.
That motor sounded like it wants to rev
Every one has a 57s big block laying around who doesnt 😮
Power
This build was made on just spare parts laying around....shit u wish I had those big dollar parts "laying around"....I have old ls intake manifolds, trottle bodies,tires, and broken dreams in my garage
I'm sure these are parts they had from previous builds and then added some new parts to it. Shows like these probably have a ton of used and unused project stuff from years past. I thought it was some good tech.
Minty 👍
nice
damn i used my last block for a coffee table and the crank for a lamp stand.
You used yours up didn't you?
Where was the break in oil for the cam
