Stock pistons, cam, etc? Im doing a rebuild on my 472 but want to upgrade it internally without a .030 bore or cam

How did you guys get the master cylinder to the top

love to see the old ones come back.thank you much.

Any information on the paint on the block looking to get that color and what brand???

Where’s the next video ?

Just got me a 1950 Pontiac silver streak . That video makes me excited to have a old ride for this summer cruising .

I love these. She’s beautiful

Ignore the Pontiac guy.they are good motors. You need to stake all the oil galley plugs and do something about the rockers. Stock rockers over 4000 rpm is not good. Because the 2 ways to loose oil pressure is you didn't stake the oil plugs or a rocker cam off and a lifter poped out. I have 2 built caddy 500s that have been running for years. Incredible torque and probably the best of all the BOPC blocks. Im a buick guy and like Pontiac but buick blocks suck and Pontiac should have done a bigger bore.

working on my nephews 1953 dodge in Phx need everything carb strter genertor. thx

Good luck to you. I know how expensive the Great Race is. Those OE Pontiac springs will do good. Just don’t final weld the spring mounts on until after you get engine and transmission in and re look at pinion angle. Don’t go by the old Camaro angle. Working on 50 Pontiac wagon

I’ve got the same ‘51 Chieftain that I’m just getting started on. Your video on pulling the engine will be very helpful. I’m curious why you didn’t rebuild the original straight 8. I’ve got an 81-year old master machinist that knows how to rebuild it, so maybe that’s the secret

Great to see you back posting !

Great to watch and learn I'm building 1949 2 door sedan silverstreak THRILLED to have found your show thank you

Time to bring that cadillac motor over and fit it !!!

I have a 1954 chieftain I am installing a 425 into presently

BUENOS DIAS AMIGOS, LE ESCRIBO DESDE VENEZUELA, TENGO UN 472 MONDADO EN UN CADILAC QUICIERA SABER COMO MONTASTES LAS EMPACADURAS DE LA CAMARA O CULATA EN QUE ORDEN LA MONTASTES NO SALE EN EL VIDEO

I like watching I own 49 silverstreak enjoying learning to keep it alive 👌 thank you both

I just purchased the very same truck except the SnoGo isn't there. I have the original V8 flathead. I'll be interested to follow and see what you do as I will also have similar challenges I expect...including the wheels and tires that need to be changed.

i have a strait 8 in my 54 starchief....and 3 more 8s and trans in the shed😎

I bought a '51 Chieftain and it has a 500 caddy in it. The engine really performs well, has good low end torque.

If you ever plan on parting this out or selling it I would be interested

Hold eccelerato all the way down and you need to check firing order and let that starter rest a lil yuo r gonna burn it up again!

Ŵhen you turn the key you depress the exaccelleŕater fully to the floor and that way she should start.

'Promo SM' 🌈

Reminds me a lot about the wrong turn tow truck

That’s cool, be fun to putt around I bet.

She needs a cam! And maybe a turbo?

Awesome video. I got my 39 buick going and went to a car show last weekend. Good luck getting your car ready for next year. Ill be watching all your videos

Nice yo see you back.

Also: for the love of the truck, find an old Flathead V-8 somewhere and restore 'im to his former glory 🙂

FYI you can find tubeless rims that'll fit that old 5-lug pattern on '70s-era Dodge motor homes (RVs). You'll bump your tire size up to 19½", but that won't be a problem. You can find modern 19½" tires anywhere. Do you still have your rig?

sound stuff, its guna be good.

Very good to see you back working again in your garage.😊

I feel like I’ve missed an episode. What engine is this?

Teaser says upgrades… this is replacements… List it correctly please

Good work guys!

Do you have any idea why my crankshaft bolt keeps on spinning when I went to check for compression? And what damage did that would cause an how can I fix it?

Brilliant!

You are a very good team !

Good team !

great job

Have built 2 in the past, and now building another 69 472 to go into a Buick regal Wagon with NOS, again. The opening for the rear sump pickup tube (for 68-69 blocks), needed to be opened as that was Cadillac's fix for an oiling issue in later models. Mask off the area around the oil pickup hole, Fill the hole with cloth, and reem or drill it bigger while using a vacuum. Hope this helps

Can you link the rebuild kit you used? Mine needs the same thing and I don't fully trust ebay 100%.

Keep the straight 8 this time!

Buenos días necesito saber si los aspirales del chevi les silban al pontiac 1951 por favor si puede en español gracias

That's not how u pack grease into bearings.

A race car, that one is definitely not a racer! A new one was slow slow slow. It is a floater, if you get it going it will ride like you are floating on water😳. But it is a worthy project.

Very curious to see how it all fits, I have a '49 streamliner and a 472 sitting just waiting for a home, I'm interested to see how it fits around the steering column and box. If all goes smoothly I'll send my engine to the shop. Cool stuff guys.

Wait til you get oil pressure loss. Cad motors do that.
