I'm 68 years old. I owned almost all those engines during my life. They were all great engines.
Now that's an experience! Thanks for sharing
I call BS.
@@leonardhirtle3645 On what? Can you be more specific? I am a Ford guy and to me the FE was the best option and most under tuned and underrated of all. I like the 70s truck blocks best they had the 3 rib main, better oil passage consistency, and I have some old ProStock Engineering main caps that are made with oiling passeges that are free to the crank through croosbolts that are hollow and using ARP hardware and running lines off the oil filter adapter feed oil to the crank and you only need two I put one on 2and 4 mains let it feed the can from the bottom and put plugs in the passeges above the cam to let the oil drop to the pan on 2 and 4 and it raises the oil pressure to 1-3-5. 1 has a direct shot anyway so it really improves 3 and 5 mains and all of the rods greatly. ARP bolts too, and get 1 mm 1mm 2 mm rings and .105 thick pushrods and conical springs for a hyd or solid roller. Light and well balanced. Also if you get a good bore truck block forget about making it a 428. Bore it as little as you can., like 4.096 for a good block and a Scat 3.98 crank that is turned down to 2.2 rod journals and use 6.8 rods, 3.865 stroke if it’s 2.43 rod journals, that is a solid 407 ci with a 10.155 deck a 1.42 ch piston, and with a 3.865 stroke and a 6.8 rod, a 1.756 rod to stroke, like a 327 Chevy. Do a short fill up to the core plugs and you’ll have.160plus thick bores. You can put a set of Trick Flows and a 2x4 with Holleys or Holley throttle body injection and you’ll have a quick revving bulletproof 600 hp 55O lb ft engine that could be 900 hp with an S475 or S480. At 8 lbs of blow through boost to each carb. I d enjoy that if I could see to drive it. Oh and that’s on 93 with 9.7:1 ch.
I’m 62 and know exactly what you’re talking about, it’s hard to believe that in the late 70’s early 80’s we could pick up nice firebirds and Camaros for $1500
@@leonardhirtle3645leonard, baby, it's very easy for someone to have had most of these. You used to be able to pick up a 68 Charger RT for 500 bucks. 1980 give or take,- dozens of other cool models. People wanted nothing to do with the old gas Hogs , did not know what they had
The mopar small block 340. These were badass high reving engines. I won a lot of drag races with it.
@@richrosati7146 I agree I want a lot with it too, but I found out that they just didn’t stack up to the big block Chevys especially the 375 horse
Great list but the giant killer 340 mopar should have been included.
Thats what happens when non automotive enthusiasts and ai generated you tube video attempts to enlightening us with automotive history ,,every manufacturer made at least on engine if not many sometimes that could absolutely tear up a track or a Saturday night prowling the streets looking for prey😂😂😂I truly love them all hemi,big block chevy 455 olds,pontiac, Buick ,big blocks .my favorite is the hemi ,big block chevy,and ford Nascar scj.all engines I cannot afford to possess. So sometimes you roll with the poor man's engine that can produce a easily obtainable 450 hp and the cheapest of all to build 😮the 350,400 small block chevy😊,now superseded by the ls 😮but I will always dream of a giant hemi❤another sleeper was my 71 dodge demon 340 it really surprised me with some additional speed parts and a&h slicks on the back could sometimes leave folks in aw😊😊😊as it reved away down the hot top yes it was a 4 speed car with 4.11 rear still kick myself in the arse for selling that car in 1986 for my new wife and children 😊
💯agreed...buddy had a 1970 Dodge dart,w/340... Man the dual exhaust had a " bark"
318/360 not always the power house but very reliable engines . 318 can be made to make 300 HP without to much trouble .
Oldsmobile!! How could you leave them out??? The infamous 442-W30!!! They were a powerhouse. I had a 69 I got from a vet from Nam. It had only 20k original miles on it. Went threw that car soup to nuts. It was amazing!!! These kids today wouldn't know what to do with so much stock power!!!
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. I’ll be 72 , and your correct Oldsmobile engines go’s back to 1949 the 303 cid . So with my fellow Oldsmobile is not popular today so if look at it from a marketing most of the cars in the video is keeping the aftermarket stone , we for the most part are out in the cold ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍
Totally forgot the BUICK 455 STAGE 1 !!!
The all time torque MONSTER of 1970 !!!
510 foot pounds of torque !!!
On a good day !!!
The fire turbo 327 is my favorite engine, power vs weight! That being said! The Chevy's 283 & Ford's 289 especially that block has probably won more racing Gold than all the engines combined? Sometimes bigger isn't always better when it comes to car motors! How many Years did 4 cylinder engines run in the Indy? And win!
I agree totally!! Very odd it was left out. Im s BB CHEVY FAN, BUT THE SMALL BLOCKS WERE GREAT....283-327-302--350...... 327 WITH MULTIPLE H.P. RATINGS.....FUELIES TOO. We all know how this goes so I'm ending here.😂
@@johnmartinelli5511
I’m Class of 1979, Mt. Morris, Michigan
In high school I had a low mileage
1970 Buick GS 455
Not a stage car, just a great running Buick big block, on any given weekend I had the fastest car or the second fastest car in my high school, 1/4 mile street racing, my best competition was a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am 455, and back then it could be as simple as who could afford a full tank of Sunoco 104 gasoline ! The Chevy big blocks in my class were behind both of us ! Back then as working high school students things like drag slicks were out of our reach, what we would run in the rear were
RE-CAP SNOW TIRES ! Real soft compound rubber and cheap !
Come Monday morning in the student parking lot you could always tell who was racing that weekend, bald snow tires still mounted, rubber all over rear quarters ! Back then there were still full service gas stations, and so many of us worked at these stations with a TIRE MOUNTING MACHINE AND SPIN BALANCER ! And…. A endless supply of used tires ! No such thing as discount tire, you went to your small town gas station for tires ! I wish I still had that old Buick, I loved that car !
@@dougmcwhirter419 had the highest torque rating even beating the 454 Chevy
Chevy 454 in the chevelle ss how did you guy's miss that?
I really appreciate everything you guys did about the engine series. But it would have been great if you guys could have mentioned something about the Oldsmobile engine's? Next time you need to remember that Oldsmobile was going on back then too.
Chrysler 340. The big block beater. The reason the production of the Chrysler 400 and 440 ended was it was a condition of the government load Chrysler got In 1978. If you find a 1979 Chrysler product with a 440, it's in inventory prior to the loan. They would have kept building them for truck usage.
The Buick 350. The forgotten engine and Mopar 340.
The Oldsmobile 442.
The Electra duce and 1/4
The L-78 396 with the solid cam was likely the most balanced Muscle Car Engine of the era. The FE 390-410 were the biggest sleeper engines. They just needed a catalogue 427-425 hp sold cam and a set of header’s they were very close to the L-78 375 or 425 hp ( in the Vette). I am always an FE guy. The 2.74 mains are so much better than the 351W. The 410 was easy to make by putting a 3.98 crank in a 390 with the 410 pistons. They walked away from GTOs
Chevy, after 1969, punched out the 396 .30 over. Making it a 402. But on ss cars it was 396 on passenger cars it was 400 and pick ups 402. " Insurance costs." Also Chevy built the DZ 302 from 1967-69 . The original Boss 302.
Original 302 but not a Boss more like assistant manager! Ford man here but I also like Chevy and some Mopars and love the AMC SC/Rambler
The reason the 400 was only rated at 345 hp in the firebird and 370 in the GTO was to satisfy GM’s rule of 10 lbs per horsepower limits, the GTO weighs 3700 lbs and the firebird is 3,450 lbs
They didn't call the 396 BIG BLOCK RUMBLE GUTS for nothing. My future brother in law had a 66 Impala convertible. I had a 67 Olds 442 convertible with the 400 Olds Pontiac mid block in it. Same engines, different exhaust. It was never beat in a street race. GTO 400's could be a bit of a problem. LOL Today, I have a Charger 6 cylinder that'll beat it in reverse. A walk down memory lane today.
As usual - the government ruined the real performance years of US. Cars ! We sure were
Having fun with our cars ! All of ‘em . They were all good in their own ways !
The 409 deserves much more than a passing mention while talking about the 396. It was an iconic engine in its own right. Also, Chevrolet never put it in an intermediate sized car. The whole reason it came about was because they needed something more than a small block to power their full size passenger cars so they started putting the 348 in their full sized cars in 1958. In 1961 they increased the displacement to 409 and it became legendary even though it was only available for five years.
I think they should have mentioned the Ford Flathead V8 too. Even though it wasn’t produced during the muscle car era, what hot rodders were doing with them in the fifties was one of the things that led to the muscle car era.
The 409 should’ve been covered in more depth because as it progressed, they offered a ZL 11 409 with a unusual intake that produces more horsepower than any 409 before it successfully drag race and the full size Chevys with some exceptional times that in a lot of classes to this day, I believe is unequal❤
@@jd4harley
👍
@@jd4harleyCorrection that was known as RPO Z11.😊
It was mid year 1961 the 409 came out.Junior Johnson raced one in a Nascar race,it was a bored out 348 and did good during most of the race until it blew up
@@Toolaholic7 the last year the 409 was available in the full-size Chevy was 65 later in that same year they made the 396 available
Um 1970 454 LS-6! The most powerful engine of that time!
in a corvette 1968-9 465 hp 454 v8 ls6 3 x 2bbl`s - i have stood next too a lot at car show`s - put an exhaust = 550hp .
I miss my '63 389 Catalina
Chevy 427 and 454 are 2 that are notable omissions.
428CJ SCJ, 429 CJ
427 SOHC = now were talking ! john kossie engines
In my experience, the first 429 cj heads were not that great. We had better performance with 429 pi heads, fitted with the cj valves, a basic bowl blend, and used the cj intake, port matched to the smaller pi heads. Built a number of these. Just my experience. Thanks for the video.
@@cjespers I’m more experienced with the FE. They build into surprisingly good engines. The 385 series is really good, but the FE when done right are stout. I have tried to get into 385s, but FEs are so numerous, were anyway back then, they were really easy to get the parts to have a good one to build.
HERE COMES THE JUDGE..HERE COMES THE JUDGE..😂😂😂
The only problem with the 455 Pontiac, 428 Pontiac and the 421.,they had a heavy 3.25 main bearing size. The reason Smokey Yunick quit Pontiac was the 3.25 main bearing . The 351W had a 3 inch main like the 351M and 400 had a very sluggish powerband.
I'm not expert on this stuff, but the video caught my attention. I was an avid Motor Trend reader in my teenage years in the late '60s and early '70s, at I seem to recall that as of about 1970, the fastest *stock* car Motor Trend had tested was the Buick GSX running the Buick 455 cu. in. engine. In fact, I just looked it up and MT got 13.38 in the quarter mile.
The Buick GSX powered by the 455 CI V8 was a fast car and awesome engine but was produced in limited numbers and was extremely expensive, similar to the Mercury Montigo Cyclone MX with the 429 CI. This video, however, is about "most iconic" and does cover them fairly well.
You read Motor Trend ? And you say so in public? OOOOOF that is no good .
William F Bransford
It's really hard to believe that you didn't even bring up the Buick Buick 455GS stage 1 stage 2 wow
greatt video !
There we sorta got some of it ! Good show -
Um, why do you have a picture of a 75-76 Buick regal engine that barely made 100 horsepower as your opening image?
You missed the Boss 351 and 429 engines.
Wheres the chevy 427 454?
Its just cars: "There is no such thing. Trust me, I know all about cars."
@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602
Then why does my engine say 427?
@@marcotelli1601 Ask "its just cars" He's the so-called "expert". Like Trump calls himself "the genius", remember?
@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602Fact checking politicians will likely expose them all. Some say they finished at the top of their class in university.
@@basilcarroll9729 If you're talking about Donald Trump, he never finished 4th grade... much less a college or university. Donald Trump is most definitely a "fat-checking" politician.
Fords too. The 428 CJ when cammed up and headers were strong!
The king of horsepower is the LS6 454. 450 underrated horsepower, 450 underrated ft lb of tq. The king of torque would be the Buick 455, with 510 ft lb. The highest revving would be the 350 hp 327 from 67.. the king of cool is definitely the 426 Hemi. And honorable mention is the SOHC 427 ford
True that Buick had a 510 torque ,one year only in 1970. Oldsmobile had a 510 torque 455 in 1968-69 and 1970. A long with their 500lb 455s.
@@basilcarroll9729 70 was the pinnacle year for muscle cars. In 71 they changed horsepower ratings , and mandates started on muscle cars due to epa and insurance.
Whatta' bout the 400 and 455 Oldsmobile W30, I think that should made the list.
There was the 354 and 392 fireball hemis before the 426 came out.There were 3 different versions which were a Dodge,Desoto and Chrysler which the parts do not interchange.Some 396s were actually 402s from the factory,this was 1970 to 1972
I
AND THE BUICK 401
WHERE IS THE GREAT ENGINE. 409 AND THE FORD 4O6.
427 Chevy
Did i miss 1965 Olds Starfire 425 cu 375 hp,Boy that car was fun to drive very fast and comfortable. Also AMC 401 cu 330 hp v8.
I have a copy of the original ASME paper they Chrysler wrote on the first Gen Hemi engine.
One of the primary reasons for the ‘51 Hemi was its resistance to accumulation combustion chambers deposits. Back in the early ‘50s that was a major problem, more like a curse, afflicting engines of the day.
Loved my Delta 88 Royale dinosaur with the 455🦕
Left out the BOSS 429
Yes, you missed. Buick GS Stage I and GSX 454 big block. Smokes pretty much everything out there, with maybe a couple of exceptions…Cobra and GT40.
Chrysler invented the domed, or hemi concept in their world war 2 aircraft motors collaborations…then revitalized that design for their auto engines..
Well you missed the Briggs and Stratton 16....I'm just saying
Did you mention the 455 V8 in the Buick ,Riviera 1970s.
they should have showed the votes...I think the top 3 would be 3. the 5.0L Ford 2: Chevy 350 Small Block and 1. the 426 Hemi from Dodge
How about some legendary engines? All we see are iconic ones.

Sez who???🤷
@@user-gh8iw6fp2i It probably has four wheels and tires, too. That doesn't make it a muscle car any more than having vinyl interior makes it a sports car.

Yes it’s a Grandma and Grandpa car. 😂😅😂😂😂😢😅 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about the Buick GS 455, especially the "Stage 1" version!!
An engine Ford should have made was the 410 with a bigger camshaft and CobraJet heads and the 2x4 aluminum intake with better Exhaust and put in the Fairlane and Mustangs .
TOTALLY OVERLOOKED THE 340-6 BARRELL, THE 340-4 AND MAX WEDGE ENGINES, THE RED RAM EARLY HEMI'S AND THE FASTEST PRODUCTION CAR OF 1979, THE DODGE ADVENTURER LI'L RED EXPRESS TRUCK WITH THE 360 4BBL
How about the Buick 455 stage 1
The FE engine family which includes the 427 was not given much consideration. Also missing was the 289 hipo nor was the small block chrysler.
Ford never put 427 in Torino's .
Only in NASCAR, the 427 Tunnel Port while they were getting the Boss 429 lined out. Thex427 TP was faster on some tracks.
@@Bbbbad724 , what I meant was on the street.
@@markrenton1093 It aggravates me too, I could never get why? I could put a 282S in, a set of headers and a Holley Street Dominator single plane and a 3310 like case on the first year 396 and a 2ft header extension of 3 inch pipe with a see of14 inch glasspacks and it was like kicking a grizzly bear in the nuts. It was that easy. There wasn’t a motor I know of that was such a Jekyll and Hyde. They could given us a 282 S type as an option, and some manifolds like every other make had. Sure was fun. 👍
What about the 312 y block ?
Can anyone tell me how I could get more power from a 73 Olds 445 HO in my 73 Olds Hurst?
I meant to enter 455
Hey that's fine I do that to? And I have to do the same thing you did? add it in?
You might have to change out the cam and possibly the heads too? And add a 4 barrel intake and carburetor? Because of how much lower the power was in 1973 ?
@@rickstephens1130 I was wondering if 1970 w30 heads or after market aluminum heads would be practical?

engines were crap !
I understand that Pontiac got their engines from Oldsmobile and Buick
pontiac made their own engines up till 1981 remaining very differant from Buick or oldsmobile = GOOGLE IT !
