A garage run by someone who knows what they are doing and teaching younger people how to do it CORRECTLY. Like a breath of fresh air. Thanks Nick ! Keep up the excellent work.
U should watch that car show. On speed. Where there is another. Mopar Man. Like u have to see this guy go must be 60ish. Its called gill brothers. Anyway. U must watch this mopar man. No dyno. Nothing like Nikes Dyno. He can do blind folded. He did a peep peep car or big chicken charger. 460 i think. He is fun to watch. But u got nicko
There are thousands of us all over the planet......all you need to do is find a Chrysler show and go introduce yourself. We love to infect others with our sickness.
This Chanel made me realize my challenger dream. 1970 dodge challenger R/T, matching number 440, 4 speed, track package with dana 60. Needs some body work due to rust but all in good time, now i daydream about Nick rebuilding my engine
Beautiful job on this 440 Nick! You and your guys know your stuff. Was wonderful to visit your shop during my visit to Canada. Love the dyno room. Wish you could have had an engine to test. I look forward to visiting you again in the future! Thank you again for everything and your kindness to me and my family. I will be sending you some pics of my cars via email. :)
Man that is a high compression ratio. The valves and pistons must be real close. That is quite an accomplishment 👍 Good job. I hope to find a worthy vessel to hold a nice 440 or even a 340 in one day. Maybe a Demon, Dart, Charger, who knows.
So satisfying to do all that work from a bare block and up and it turns right over and runs just like it came off the showroom floor. Amazing talent Great job Vasily!!!
I love this vid!!!! Simply because, back in the 80's, my first car was a 66, 300, with the first generation 440..... That sound is a memory I will never forget. One of the strongest, lasting, motors ever built. My Dad, who owned garages, maintained the car since it was new. Yeah, it was a land yacht, but a total sleeper, with it's factory duel exhaust, tach on the floor, and double inlet air induction. Hell, it even had a reverb unit! The previous owner was an attorney who retired in 69 and hated the lines of the new Imperial and 300. He kept this car and when I we bought it, there wasn't a scratch, rip in the interior, nothing wrong with it and had 58,000 miles. When I drove it home, my brother popped the hood and he had a smirk on his face that told me something was up. My Dad told me the engine was a 383. Months later, the distributor went out and I picked one up. After marking it, pulling it from the engine and set it side by side with the new one, there was an obvious difference in the shaft length. My brother laughed his ass off when he drove me back the parts house. Hey, I was 16 and at that point, most my car experience was from Hot Rod, Motor Trend and car history books. My Dad didn't want the insurance company or me to know what was under the hood. Back then, you could lie about vin numbers and who could actually compile the data? I absolutely loved that executive, land yacht. I wish I could find another but they are few and far between. I loved that boat.
starbattles1 Yes I like his style. He builds durable powerful engines that you can count on to give lots of fun miles. Nowadays lots of people add turbos and nitrous for horsepower but they grenade so easily. Nick builds reliable power and torque.
starbattles1 Me too even though I have built a few engines but I have never installed cam bearings and working on older cars is my passion I can't stand today's cars
starbattles1 yeah that's what I did send it to the shop to tank it line bore and everything and install cam bearings then I would get it back and do the rest and yeah that Dyno is awesome if I had one of those I would be tuning and playing around with different combo's all the time lol!
I loved assembling engines when my back would handle it. Custom builds were the best, whether they were to stock specs or modified. Seeing the customer bring his pride and joy in to show it off after the motor was installed was always rewarding!
Dodge fanatic here and it is amazing what the Dodge Charger challenger and the cornet looks like after you are done with them. It makes my day watching a classic get restored
Great job to Nick and his young assistant It takes me back to 1979 when I was the trainee at an engine shop in Cleveland Ohio . I was 18 yrs old . A great experience for me . It looks like a fun shop to work at . I enjoy your videos wish I could visit
I rebuild a 396 big block Chevy when I was 16 and I really miss working on those Motors from the sixties. Haven't rebuilt anything in over 31 years and still remember how great it felt.
Nick hit the factory numbers right on the button. And with 20 in of manifold vacuum, the car will be very tactible, a real pleasure to drive! What a beauty, one of only 16. Ya can't beat the old iron!
Same here. I got a 78 ramcharger SE 440 AWD. Turns more heads than my friends K5. Only thing that sucks is that I have to smog it here in the state of California...just an inspection and sniffer but still, this beast is a classic. I'm restoring her to stock since she has all original interior, moldings and motor. Good luck on your build. MOPAR family!!
I'm a diesel mechanic by trade nick I admire your knowledge of cars and your program it's very interesting you're also very down-to-earth and humble. I like your methods of the dino machine every engine every time guarantee your work every time. GOd bless you and your staff love from Los Angeles ca
That was really neat the way you restored that engine to brand new and then tested it on the dyno. Now the car needs a new windshield, body and interior work done including tires to complete the restoration. Well done!
we had a beautiful dodge Coronet in the junkyardwhen I was a teenager. I begged and pleaded with the owner to save it. he crushed it and things were never the same between us after that.
Great video Nick ! I run a .030" over 440 in my 66 Coronet. With ported iron heads , .509 purpleshaft cam, Torker Ii intake and headers thru a TTI exhaust. 11.87 on Drag Radials through the mufflers. The engine has been run on Brad Penn oil and has not been apart for 20 years. Thanks !
The not been apart in 20yrs says alot and sticking with standard Mopar iron when possible (heads etc). I have a 1966 Charger with a 67 440 hp2 block. All iron with the Carter carb. I honestly never needed more than that with good high quality fuel. You need to keep these big iron engines cool though. With more than 500 ft lbs of torque from a modified 440ci you need to start thinking about replacing the 8 3/4 rear to a 9 1/4 or Dana 60. Uni body frame stretch etc. 440 are very quick reving and with the torque multiplication of the TF727 3 speed auto quite capable out of the box.
The B/RB Chrysler's deep skirted block actually supports the crankshaft with authority. The main cap bolts merely have to retain the caps themselves, with very little stress on those fasteners. This is unlike a lot other engines where cap walk is a concern even at stock horsepower output; never mind "souped up". Yes, that is a good thing.
I had a 1970 440 Plymouth Fury Police Interceptor that came from the factory with 390 H.P. I rebuilt the engine in 1976 with some really nice parts, including the purple shaft cam, 10.5 to 1 pistons, block bored .030 over, headers, mid rise intake, double pumper carb, new Mallory dual point distributor and 50,000 volt coil. It ended up with about 500 HP and, going back and forth to college 900 miles away, I could get 20 mpg highway thanks to the cop gears. The A-727 trans was rebuilt by a local shop who added a shift kit. That thing would scream and not shift from 2nd to 3rd until right at 100 mph, and then pull hard until the certified speedo bottomed out at 140. I miss that car.
Well, I made about 20 trips from N.J. to college in Kentucky which was 840-850 miles (one way) and I could always do it with just a single stop for gas in West Virginia so, do the math. (20 gallon tank) 70 mph was just a little over 1,400 rpm. Gas had just gone up to $1/gal and more for premium so, believe me, I drove it like there was a raw egg on the gas pedal...also...legal limit was 55 back then too.
Im a chevy guy have a 1968 396 hipo engine in my 72 c10 have always loved fords an chevys expecially the mustangs ive always thought they where just beautiful. But i tell you man if i ever have a mopar hemi i will take it to nicks for sure his work is the definition of professional protection
About 20 years ago, I worked with a guy from Shelby Township, Michigan (outside of Detroit) who was in the middle of restoring one of these. His was the dealer demo with all the options EXCEPT it was the only one with the rear deck stripe delete. He was doing body work at the time, so I don't know what color it was, but it should be easy to identify without the stripe. He rebuilt the engine in one of the bedrooms of his house (must have had a very understanding wife) and he told me it was only one of fifteen or sixteen convertibles made with the 440R/T. Best of luck with your rare car restoration.
Jeff Becker. You just reminded me back, in the 70"S, when I had the Hemi carbs rebuild in my Parents kitchen, but they did not mind at all. Those were the days when you lived at home with your Parents.
Your work on the R/T Coronet 440 really took me back. Your apprentice was taught correctly, nothing missed, nothing left out. He is a worthy apprentice. I'm sorry, what is the boy's name again? I am a subscriber for ever. Thanks Tommy M. Brooklyn NY.
I would put the Holley on it for that extra horse power but got to say you got it right on factory numbers you and Basili do great work the guy that owned this motor I’m sure is very happy man
I get an E-mail message when you put out a new video. I so look forward to seeing what's up at your shop. Thanks so much for great videos...... The narrator does a really great job!!
Awesome nick love your channel and dyno test and builds can't wait to see the Pontiac build. I build all makes but don't have a dyno in Montgomery, Alabama to test. Love your shop set up too. Thanks Glen
Love this stuff even after years of doing it myself. Although the machining part of my shop is not so clean...the assembly room would make some OR's jealous. I believe cleanliness is key. I personally use the manufacturers assembly lube if provided and paint everything with Schaeffer Moly EP which doesn't get grease.
This video of old Dodge reminds me of when I lived in Oshawa Ontario. I last saw a 69 Dodge Daytona and a 70 Plymouth Superbird (feb 1988) in a driveway on way north out of town. don't know if they have been restored but could still be sitting there. The street could have been Townsite or highway 3. I was on way north to Cobaconk at the time.
Nick's Garage has been a wealth of motivation on the muscle cars of my youth. I have a Aqua blue 440 ( using Nick's words) and wonder the story why it is not Mopar Orange like Nick does?
Chrysler used different colors for different model years. There are two different blue colors. The earlier one is a shade lighter than the later. Look on the side of your block to discover when it was produced.
See kids thats how you earn a living, you work a lot, learn and try to enjoy what you do. You dont go wine and protest your way into thinking someone will simply just give what you want.
Bronze mallet for that cam bearing tool, Ive had a small chip off one embedded in my skull near my left eye that went in a few mm deep, the doc recommended leave it there, that was in 1977 when I was an apprentice pulling cam bearings out of a 350 small block using a steel hammer and the chip off the cam bearing tool is still there, its hard steel, quality back then too, no chinese steel in there.
FWIW I forget to mention, the place I was working at was a well known V8 only engine builder and speed shop in Dandenong Australia and was called "Nick's Service Centre", kid you not.
A garage run by someone who knows what they are doing and teaching younger people how to do it CORRECTLY. Like a breath of fresh air. Thanks Nick ! Keep up the excellent work.
I know right
Thank God we've got guys like these keeping these stunning cars alive
U should watch that car show. On speed. Where there is another. Mopar Man. Like u have to see this guy go must be 60ish. Its called gill brothers. Anyway. U must watch this mopar man. No dyno.

We just finished building a 440 stroker to 506ci with 11:1 cr. Made 710hp and 700lbft on the engine dyno. Mopar big blocks are monsters.
Nice...what heads did you run on the motor?
Man that is a high compression ratio. The valves and pistons must be real close. That is quite an accomplishment 👍 Good job. I hope to find a worthy vessel to hold a nice 440 or even a 340 in one day. Maybe a Demon, Dart, Charger, who knows.
@@asmongoldsmouth9839 Demon, Dart, Charger thats boring everybody do that why not a early 80`s pre k era lebaron?
@@HIDHIFDB waste of time
@@williamarnett9064 why?
Nick's perfectionism and Chrysler excellence are unsurpassed! The 440's exactly correct rated dyno horsepower!
Knowing Nick for over 40 years, always a pleasure going to his shop and see something new and exciting, he is a master at work.
So satisfying to do all that work from a bare block and up and it turns right over and runs just like it came off the showroom floor. Amazing talent Great job Vasily!!!

Its great to see Nick the master mentoring young mechanics on how to build them right.

My local machine shop charges $100.00 to install cam bearings! I guess I could rent to tool from Autozone and DIY from now on.
Haha! Your results may vary.
I loved assembling engines when my back would handle it. Custom builds were the best, whether they were to stock specs or modified. Seeing the customer bring his pride and joy in to show it off after the motor was installed was always rewarding!

Nick passing what you know to the next generation . Très bien ! I'm retired now . Young use computers too much , takes their reasoning power .
Great job to Nick and his young assistant
It takes me back to 1979 when I was the trainee at an engine shop in Cleveland Ohio . I was 18 yrs old . A great experience for me .

Sweet! Reminds me of my mother's 1969 Chrysler 300 440 TNT 2 door, what a blast it was, especially when your in your teens...cruising in your boat!
So glad I found this Nick shop , was a Mopar man back in my younger days ..
Love those old engines with raw HP.....
You have some of the best videos on TH-cam, keep up the spectacular work boys
Tyler Pack. THANKS!
Brings back memories- 1987 me building my 440 - MOPAR !!!-
Nick hit the factory numbers right on the button. And with 20 in of manifold vacuum, the car will be very tactible, a real pleasure to drive! What a beauty, one of only 16. Ya can't beat the old iron!
The attention to detail is inspiring.
Absolutely amazing, you guys are the best. Thank you so much for the perfection you achieve in doing things right
This is impressive I love watching old MOPARS come to life, I have never owned anything but MOPAR. Working on a Ramcharger right now.
Same here. I got a 78 ramcharger SE 440 AWD. Turns more heads than my friends K5. Only thing that sucks is that I have to smog it here in the state of California...just an inspection and sniffer but still, this beast is a classic. I'm restoring her to stock since she has all original interior, moldings and motor. Good luck on your build. MOPAR family!!
Thinking about getting another for a Cummins swap 😁👍
Yes sir. Great Job guys. Nick, you have a young guy there that seems like he Loves what he's doing. that's hard to find these days. Congratulations.

+GERARDO1343 Thanks for watching.
awesome to see The Master sharing his knowledge to his apprentice it so nice and cool I hope someone teach me that am willing to learn :)
Mightly impressive. Wonderful to see Nick passing on his knowledge to the next generation. Also historically important comparing old figures with new.
Music to our ears !!!! Love your Vids. Thanx Nick.
Engine sound like a beast
That was really neat the way you restored that engine to brand new and then tested it on the dyno. Now the car needs a new windshield, body and interior work done including tires to complete the restoration. Well done!

Nick, I love your videos. Wish you had a new one each week.
And your work is superb, sir!
Hi., enjoy watching you guys work on cars. I would like you to do one video of you assembling the entire engine. Thank you, Bo,
What a beauty! Totally deserves new life.
So awesome that you hit the 375 mark with the Carter!
Wow you guys are so skilled mechanics
such a smooth big block oh my God I love those things
The crank fits so deep within the block. That is a good thing.
The B/RB Chrysler's deep skirted block actually supports the crankshaft with authority. The main cap bolts merely have to retain the caps themselves, with very little stress on those fasteners. This is unlike a lot other engines where cap walk is a concern even at stock horsepower output; never mind "souped up". Yes, that is a good thing.
Love this stuff. Nick is like Mopar Santa Claus. Always on time, and in control.
OMG Really good testing machine, I call this like simulator tested machine. First time i see this video...I wish can get it in to Indonesia 🇮🇩 .. 👍👍👍👍
Assembly , with no gloves . Nothing like sweaty hands to start the rot off . Love the dyno work .
I Love old school guy like Nick!
I love watching your videos Nick! You and your staff are great,I would bring my car to your shop any day.
Thanks.
Loved the video though I have never touched a bearing with my bare hands. Thanks.
That engine sound, like poetry.
if I had half of Nick's skill i would be a master mechanic.
awesome....wish i had some where to go and tune my car..and see what it really puts out
Just watching it put together was relaxing mechanical yoga yes .

How crazy is that 375HP on the dot. Love it.
Love the show can't get enough of it
What a dream career
Your work on the R/T Coronet 440 really took me back. Your apprentice was taught correctly, nothing missed, nothing left out.
He is a worthy apprentice.
I'm sorry, what is the boy's name again? I am a subscriber for ever.

Tom Milano. The boys name is Vasili. Thanks for watching and sorry for the delay.
I love the style of the 70 Coronet/Superbee it's one of my favorite Mopars
nick is the master mind and vasilis is a man power. gj guys..love your videos. great team
I would put the Holley on it for that extra horse power but got to say you got it right on factory numbers you and Basili do great work the guy that owned this motor I’m sure is very happy man
Just warms my heart ......
Very nice Nick...
Wow...awesome job, great videos, great cars, great stuff!
Watching from Brasil, thanks Nick!!
Red line Growl gives me goosebumps
I get an E-mail message when you put out a new video. I so look forward to seeing what's up at your shop. Thanks so much for great videos...... The narrator does a really great job!!
Ken A. My narrator, does all the work, he does the filming and lights, Editing and the narration, and Yes he does a great job. Thanks for watching.
Awesome nick love your channel and dyno test and builds can't wait to see the Pontiac build. I build all makes but don't have a dyno in Montgomery, Alabama to test. Love your shop set up too.
Thanks Glen
I dig the old mopars!!!
Love this stuff even after years of doing it myself. Although the machining part of my shop is not so clean...the assembly room would make some OR's jealous. I believe cleanliness is key. I personally use the manufacturers assembly lube if provided and paint everything with Schaeffer Moly EP which doesn't get grease.
love these videos watched all them keep making so cool
These are great vids for Mopar lovers, and Nick is a consummate pro!
You have to love a man who is so passionate about his work!
Thanks velocita!
Another successful engine rebuild. Job well done gents. Btw, love your vids. Keep up the great work.. Old muscle rules...
Imagine the power this engine could make with EFI and a turbo!!
Absolutely love this channel, keep up the good videos
Nick, you are a master. Love the show man and keep up the amazing work on the Mopars!

That old Greek can turn a spanner!
Excellent!
Nick, Nick, He’s Our MAN ☝️☝️☝️
AVS Carb did surprisingly well ? No Main Seal leaks.... all good !
Put the engine on the dyno, rev it to redline and see what happens.😁 Now that's confidence!
NICE WORK NICK
beautiful job.
That's nuts. Rebuild and throw that old Carter back on and bang on 375...
The big question - How much does a job like this cost ? Just curious ..
Great job!
Nick's Garage has been a wealth of motivation on the muscle cars of my youth. I have a Aqua blue 440 ( using Nick's words) and wonder the story why it is not Mopar Orange like Nick does?
I maybe wrong but I think the aqua 440 are from rv/trucks. My ramcharger's 440 was that color before I painted it red
Chrysler used different colors for different model years. There are two different blue colors. The earlier one is a shade lighter than the later. Look on the side of your block to discover when it was produced.
Awesome......you the man Nick
Thanks. It is 1978 Dodge 22' RV. Was hoping to hear it's internal components are the same as those great Nick's Garage builds.
See kids thats how you earn a living, you work a lot, learn and try to enjoy what you do.
You dont go wine and protest your way into thinking someone will simply just give what you want.
