This channel holds personal videos of mine. I like Mopar muscle cars, engine design, and working with Holley EFI systems. My videos usually reflect one or more of these areas.
My videos are not professional, I just start shooting with my cell phone when I see something that I want to share. Eventually I'll learn how to shoot better videos, but for now, just enjoy them for what they are.

1965 Mercury Comet Gasser
This beautiful gasser belongs to a customer of mine. I was at the track helping him with the EFI tune when I grabbed this short video of his burnout and staging. This is a street driven hot rod. Full exhaust, Hilborn stacks with EFI conversion, BB Ford with Kaase heads, etc. Super nice build.

COPO 572 drag race
มุมมอง 99หลายเดือนก่อน
Bracket racing with the COPO. Slower car launches first. Video shot July 2024 at a bracket race. We were using the bracket race to work on some launch changes. Changing the car during the race made the car inconsistent, but it was still a fairly cheap way to get a bunch of runs in.

Blown 505 Mopar on dyno
มุมมอง 839หลายเดือนก่อน
505 Mopar with a BDS 8-71 blower warming up on the dyno. This engine made 700 hp and 700 ft-lbs of torque at 5500 RPM. It will make more power than 700 hp but we didn't want to turn it past 5500 for this dyno session. Once the boost kicks in the torque jumps right up to 700 ft-lbs! This would be a beast on the street.
COPO 572 nice wheelie launch

Good air at Woodburn helped the COPO 572 carry the front tires out past the 60 ft mark. Car is running good now that the suspension is getting dialed in.
440 cubic inch Z351

440 inch small block Ford warming up on the dyno. This is a circle track engine based on a Z351 aluminum block. The heads are an aluminum canted valve high port design. Engine is designed for dirt track so the cam timing is a bit shorter than in a long track engine. Peak power is around 600 hp at 6000 rpm. Torque curve is flat and high!

Walk around the 632 crate engine when it is on the dyno. No sound in this video. This is a new GM 632 crate engine. It has been upgraded with a Hogan billet intake manifold, a Moroso front drive including a vacuum pump and a Moroso oil pan. Best power was 1060 hp at 6700 rpm.

540 inch Dart BB Chevy on the dyno
มุมมอง 469ปีที่แล้ว
Testing a 540 inch Dart BBC on the dyno. We fire it up and after a short warm up period we make two dyno pulls back to back. This is a pump gas street engine with a hyd roller camshaft, not an all out race engine. This engine has a Holley port EFI kit complete with a Dominator flanged throttle body. The engine made 730 hp and 730 torque. It is all done by 6200 RPM so it isn't a drag race engine...

Whats the price of this hogan
How much Boost Andy & HP & TQ 671 or 871 . Cheers 🍻 Robert Australia 🇦🇺 Have a similar set up here in Australia 🇦🇺 never finished unfortunately. Would like an Alky Digger Roy Miersch Blower Manifold. Have a Marine Intercooler. Mine is a 468 . Would prefer a 482 .. which is a 4.250 stroke instead of the 4.00 stroke. Enjoy Urs 😅😅😅
I put an MSD atomic air force intake with a 102mm throttle body on my LS7 and lost power. I gained 4hp and lost 45ft/lbs. Putting the stock intake/throttle body back on.
Later on TAMPON
🇺🇸 - 💪💪💪👍👍👍👏👏👏😎
That’s a well detailed machine and just like I remember them from the sixties. Gotta love how it’s street driven ! Hope to see a lot more of this bad boy 🏁
Awesome
I'm doing the same exact build except with the 520" Kaase kit 10:3:1, Kaase oil pump, Cam and P-51D heads However, I am looking for some headers for the p-51's and motor mounts to go into a 68 Torino Fastback.
That is one beautiful powerplant!Would LOVE to hear it ROAR,before or after installation. Congrats!😎👍✌🇨🇦
No blower surge at all. That tells everyone the clown does not know how to build a mopar.
I hope this excellent collection of parts aren’t still sitting around waiting for assembly.
Hey Andy. Anything new with this 521” stroker ? The D9TE and later 460 production blocks are great for building strokers with cylinder walls that are .250” longer than earlier blocks. The extra width between pan rails accepts 521” stroker kits without block grinding for clearance. The 4.900” bore centers are good for big valve heads and moving plenty of CFM’s 🏁.
The 521 is ready to go on the dyno. Just waiting for an open slot in the schedule
@@andyfinkbeiner I’ve been focused on building Clevelands for years but a 521 like yours is something I would like to do. Hopefully you can get on the dyno soon. Thanks for the update 🏁
Very nice Mopar!
Says 9.82 on first pass before tuning. After who knows.
That was a year ago. These days it runs 9.10 in good air. There are more current videos posted on here
Nice view of the roller rockers through the lexan covers. Impressive motor.
What is that motor combo ? Do you have a list of parts used ?
Stock block with a 505 rotating assembly. You want a lower compression ratio such as 9:1 The heads are Trick Flow 240 heads, cam is a solid roller blower cam. Blower and intake are from BDS. Carbs are blower carbs. These are 800 cfm but this engine doesn't need more than a pair of 600 carbs.
Thanks Andy. I enjoy your book on BB wedges. Learning what I can about Mopar. 👍
What is it making for power Andy?
Stock block ?I still have 2 of your books Awesome !!,
Yep, stock block. That is why we limited it to 5500 RPM on the dyno. Didn't want to blow up the customer's engine before he got to go for a ride!
🤙
That's better
I'm a dummy so I apologize. So this one is not carbureted? It's EFI? So does that mean that that is a throttle body on the intake? And does it have a air filter in it? Is that aftermarket, or can you order it from chevy like that? Sorry again. I Probably Overlap some questions
Has the converter been tweaked yet? Just following up on some commentary from a previous post. Love these cars!
Why, in this day, did you only use a 90 amp alternator?
90 amps is more than enough for this car
Very good man. Thanks again. You do nice work. What intake on tf 240?
The Trick Flow intake right out of the box is very good for a street car. For max power you would need to get it ported.
@@andyfinkbeinerya thanks. it's a catch 22. It's a Ton cheaper and replacement parts availability. Sick of expensive valve trains and chasing parts. I'm a bracket racer. New combo, 285 mw stage 6 650 comp now. I can only go 10 flat with it, but I'm good with that. I had a issue with these stage 6s. Valves shrouded and countersunk. It fell off bad. I might have fixed them now. I put 30° eyebrows in the chamber. I'll find out here shortly.

Woops.
Dam. I binged. You really got some great content
Thanks. I"m not a pro, I just shoot stuff on my phone and post the videos.
Is this rotator the same or similar to the other 470 pump gas you used for testing, like 719 hp with the tf240 heads? Do you remember both cams? What lift dur @.050 LC. I'm impressed. I'm a RB 466
The best cam I tested was a 264/268 solid roller cam. Lift was in the 0.740 range with 1.65 rocker arms. A lot of things have to be done correctly to make that type of power. The tech articles are on the AR Engineering website: arengineering.com/tech
@@andyfinkbeiner thank you. I'm bracket/ super gas. That's huge lift for me. Outlift my heads. I try get over 300+ passes. Thank you for the reply Tho. 👍
@@andyfinkbeiner i do run that at .050 tho. Stage 6 285. Counter sunk so bad ...
I just built a 496 with a slightly larger cam. This video saved me some guessing while getting this thing figured out. Thank you for posting this.
Do the 470s run better than the 512s? Seems like they do on these vids
The 512 makes a great street engine since it will have more torque but if you want to go racing with a stock block, then the 470 is a good choice. If you are willing to step up to an aftermarket block then something like a 540 or 572 with really big heads is a good choice. The 470 makes great power with Trick Flow 270 heads and it is fairly economical to build. It is a great engine to build for a 9 second bracket car.
@@andyfinkbeinerthat’s really interesting. I was thinking about a 526” crossram engine with TF 270s. (750hp goal) Its going to be a street/bracket car so I’m leaning on the 470 side now!
@@darrylsmith7908 Depends on the block that you have. You'll need an RB block for a cross ram so then I'd go with a 505. But a cross ram is more for show than go. For 750 the easy way build a 505 with flat top dish pistons so you can use pump gas and then use a good intake such as the Super Victor or the Trick Flow. Have the intake ported and use a 1050 Dominator. You'll need a good solid roller cam, maybe something in the 270/280 range.
@@andyfinkbeinerI’ve got a 440 block with billet 4-bolt mains. The crossram is a must have for this car (Restored, Black 1970 GTX 4-speed bracket racer). I do agree with your idea of a 505/solid roller, since I want a good amount of RPM. I’m chasing 9s so 750ish should get me there. Do you think with the long runners of the crossram I’d need to have more duration?
Very nice set up, can you give me an update on how you like your Holley Sniper Xflow? Any issues with it? Thanks
No problems with the XFlow. It has been on the car for a couple of years now.
@@andyfinkbeiner Awesome, thanks for the reply.
Thanks !
Wow! I would love to see my dart do that. I’m building a 500 from what I am learning out of your book. Is there any way he could give up those cam specs? I’m not sure what solid roller I need. That thing is DIALED IN!
For a race car those short runners are perfect.
The Dustbin is an awesome build.
Your book on big block Mopars is awesome! 👍Please check out my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a rowdy 512 stroker backed by an A833 4 speed manual. I think you'll approve. 👌
Man I need to get some 270s , I'm watching the tach and torque numbers. My engine is already making over 600 ft pounds at 3000. Which will be great for a heavier street car lol. We'll see how it goes in my dart though.
Wow, that thing is rippin. Andy did you build the engine?
He is running a 514 inch long block that I built. It has Indy EZ heads, high compression and a big cam.
Your book is awesome. 👍Please check out my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a rowdy 512 stroker backed by an A833 4 speed manual. I think you'll approve. 👌
1060 hp on pump gas? Is it can run on 91 with some ignition and fuel re-mapping?
Perhaps. It is designed to run on 93 octane. It comes complete with the EFI computer and is pre-programmed from the factory.
Andy where ya been? Haven't seen you on fabo in years
What engine combo is in the gtx ? Badass ride
514 inch big block Mopar with Indy EZ heads. Makes around 800 hp.
You can run CR at 10.8 to 1 on pump gasoline. Easily
You can run 12:4.1 with the right intake closing on the cam!
Thanks for your support of the Mopar hobby! If you don't have a machine shop Mopars can be a bit tricky.
Andy, where have you been. We miss you on fabo
Excellent video thank you for doing. I have a pump has 582 BB Chevy. Made 870 hp on dyno.273/283 at .050 and it’s idle isn’t happy particularly in Park. Idle in Drive isn’t bad. It’s also difficult start when engine is warm. I have cam selected at street/strip and IAC is always at 25-30. Frustrating. I may select ‘stock cam’ and see how it goes. I have MSD distributor with 6AL , timing set at 28 idle and 34 degrees all in by 2800 rpm. Any other suggestions will be most appreciated.
A Hyperspark distributor would be a good investment. You can lower the IAC number by turning in the idle screw a small amount. Maybe half a turn or so. Idle in park and drive can take some work depending on the converter. The higher the idle speed the easier it is to get them dialed in. Once it is dialed in then you can reduce the idle speed a little bit at a time and make adjustments.
Andy I bought your throttle bracket for my Sniper and it worked great. Fastman tuned my engine and said I didn’t need a PVC valve but now I’m getting extra blow by out of valve cover breather on my drivers side. I just put a breather in place on my passenger side and it’s not as wet as my drivers side. Any recommendations what I should do? I’ve read a few things about using a fixed PVC valve but will that help with the extra blow by?
My 69 camaro needs that
