Reminds me of the lawnmower in the movie "Moving" with Richard Pryor and Randy Quaid. Randy Quaid plays Frank Crawford, the obnoxious neighbor who has a lawnmower powered by a V8. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
Don’t take an engine for a walk… that’s how you have wild mechanics follow you home… then you start leaving 100 octane by your back door because you feel bad… Before you know it you’ve adopted a bunch of stray mechanics
@@mattg392 The original 454 SS Chevelle in 1970 was coded as an "LS 6" not the same thing as a newbie thinks of today. It was a big block with solid lifters rated 450 HP from the factory. Probably more like 550 but they underrated because of new regs passed by the GOVT butting in with everything. That part we still have today the closer we get to socialism or flat out communism.
My Uncle Jim built an L88 454 for his Mandela Racing Boat he bought back in the mid 1960's... He put it all together by hand. He later bored it out to a 468 and put a roller cam in it with a Hollie double pumper in it and it puts out around 700 horse power now. It's still one of the fastest boats on his lake. Nice engine my friend and nice and throaty also.
Man, music to my ears! I had several crate LS7's in the mid 80's and ran em in a 69 Camaro. On break in the 2.25" headers glowed white hot on 104 low lead, reminded me of Smokey Yunick's tuning pictures LOL...
I'm still digging that 63 Chevy impala, I started watching your video's bro when you pulled er outta the woods, she's come along way since!! All you videos are awesome!! Keep it going! Never stop doing what your doing! Shot out from NM
@freakineagle~ Sweet sound to my ears! My Dad was 1/4 mile Drag Boat Racer. He built all his own engines for his drag boat. The one he built in 1980 was a Chevy 454 LS-7 (7.4L) bored out to 478, had a blower and ran on Alcohol Fuel. He raced in the "Blown Alcohol Flat" division. His boat was made by the HONDO company in California; it was a v-drive with cavitation plates and prop driven. He blew past 170 MPH in 1/4 mile with that boat, like it was a walk in the park!! There is NOTHING SWEETER THAN THE SOUND OF THAT ENGINE TO ME! Dad worked as a Master Tool & Dye Maker for John Deere for 31 yrs & Mom was an elementary school teacher. We lived in a little house with lots of neighbors who LOVED when Dad would fire up the engine when he was dialing it in before a race! :-) Neighbors two blocks away, still joke about how some of their pictures fell off their walls when Dad started the engine! HAHAHA! When Dad retired from racing, he sold the boat to a young racer, but kept the engine fully intact. It's been sitting in his garage on a custom made engine block, covered up with sheets and an engine cover for the past 20 years!! He'll soon be 83 years old and I wish to God I could get some help to set up a temporary Tach, Alcohol Fuel Tank and Battery ...like what you've done here! It would make my Dad so happy, he'd cry! Now I need to find a couple of people to help me figure how to do this for him! I am so happy I saw your video, thank you so much for sharing Hotrod Ronnie! ~~Christy~~
LS7. Square port heads, 7/16" push rods, forged crank with tuftrided journals, 7/16" Boron steel rod bolts, forged rods. All the cools stuff, oh and 454 cubes.
Coming home from my mom's family's farm one Sunday, 1971--we got stopped at a red light, on Grand River Ave, I saw a Harvest Gold '71 'Vette, with the L-88 type hood over the engine--it HAD LS-7 badges ON the hood. It was a test car, from the GM Proving Grounds, in Milford, Michigan. You should have HEARD the "lope" that motor had! The ONLY thing close to it I ever HEARD was the State Police cars from that era, with I believe a 426 (wedge) "Interceptor"--THOSE cars ALSO had engines with that "lope!" LOL. My mom had relatives who WORKED at the Grounds--as a kid, my uncle (test driver) used to stop by, in '66 and '67 Chevelle Super Sports, 4 speed, (Hurst shifters!) redline wide ovals, 396 375hp motors. THEY had "lopey" engines--didn't realize it as a 10/11 year old, the boys in the Chevy Garage had likely PUT the 425 hp 396 'Vette cams in 'em! lol
I Love the sound of a Big Block in the morning!! Especially a Tunnel Ramed, Big Cam monster w/headers!!!😍 I've got a LS7 427 aluminum small blk Vette convertible, it sounds good but not THAT good!! Not yet anyway......😉
Sounded great! Nothing like the sound of a big block! I wish he would've idled it down to about 7-900 rpm instead of 1500 so we could really hear it hit a lick!
12.5:1 compression, huge solid lift cam, forged TRW's, square port heads with 2.19's (or 2.25's) and 1.88's, 4 bolt mains, 7/16 rod bolts and I'm guessing 2 x 650's sitting on top of that tunnel ram. That's about 700 horsepower and somewhere in the neighborhood of 625 lb ft of torque ready to get down right there. Every man needs to drive something with a big block in it at some point in his life.
There is one or two lose valves, better check them before they jump off , that happened to my 454 , and it dropped a valve, and you know what happened after that, loll, 19 and 22 tho, koollove the sound , all but the one or two clicking sounds on drivers side bank, thanks brother thanks praise Jesus Christ amen. BigAl California.
Sounds good I'd take it for a walk up and down the block
lol'n my ass off. Best comment in here.
I'd fall over laughing

Hell yes! I definitely would lol

I come from the side that wouldn’t call the cops , I’d call all my friends and say , Jesus man you got to get over here and hear this .
The point when man discover 454 make fire ,bring smile ,make ears happy !
One of the best engines ever produced. Early 70's best music. Can't stop listening to it. Sounds aggressive.
The 70's was an awesome decade.
This dude is 100% legit.. That’s beautiful
Beast....no replacement for displacement !!!!
I’d rather listen to that than the radio or cd s.Thats what I call MUSIC to my ears.Love it.
Better than the crap they blast around here!
I love that you used an old Sun tachometer on the stand
That's the freaking best video I've seen in quite a while! Wow! I just want to give ya a shout out. Great times.
This is the best New Balance advertisement yet.
This put a real smile on my face
Love the cam
Love it!! Got two ls-7s at home, nasty big blocks!!
That is nothing less than awesome.
One badass motor for sure. So happy you never sold it. But I will glad to store it in 67 Chevelle for yea.
That is Niiiiiiice Great sounding LS. One day I will build one. Great Job Great Build.
It's saying wish I was a mopar
Wedge & had more power

Bro your my hero! Every man 👀 just got motivated! That LS sounds GOOD!
Sounds like America.
I can only imagine your excitement.
Love the engine, and definitely love the car behind it
Not much of a Chevy guy but this sounds amazing. Love seeing how genuinely happy it makes this guy too! 👍🏻
The sweetest sound ever🚀
I'm sure it sounds even better in person because I used to have a 454 big block with headers. Wish I still had it.

Not yet anyway......😉
That sounds BaaadAss.
That beast has some growl to it
Sounded great! Nothing like the sound of a big block! I wish he would've idled it down to about 7-900 rpm instead of 1500 so we could really hear it hit a lick!
sounds great !
I bet video does the sound no justice!!!!!. Looks amazing too
Like that engine stand! Pretty cool
That's a runner there 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
That is badass brother! Hell yeah!
the sound or LOVE!!!
Damn it man! That does sound Nasty as hell
Nice job sound great. :)
Damn that sounds good when throttling
Hell yes brother! Badass!!!
There they are.. the black new balance shoes.. that’s how you find an ol’ boy that can really build a motor.
Bad ass 🔥🔥🔥
Man I wish I could go to sleep with this motor running. It would beat the hell out of listening to my neighbor's clown music every night.
Proud of you.
That's 1 badass tower of power BBC nice
Very nice,now build me one for my pinto 1975 runabout.
I owned and LS-7 and it was a small block 427 where does this " bib block LS-7" fit into the GM pecking order?
That needs to be in a '40 Willys Coupe!!!!
Motorcycle Ready! 💨
God like MONSTER
FANTASTIC!!!
Looks good man
12.5:1 compression, huge solid lift cam, forged TRW's, square port heads with 2.19's (or 2.25's) and 1.88's, 4 bolt mains, 7/16 rod bolts and I'm guessing 2 x 650's sitting on top of that tunnel ram. That's about 700 horsepower and somewhere in the neighborhood of 625 lb ft of torque ready to get down right there.
Every man needs to drive something with a big block in it at some point in his life.
sounds healthy!!
Nice pipes!
Nothing like that Big Block Chevy rumble!!!!!
Love the videos
Let em hear it!👌
I sure wish I had one of them just to piss off my neighbor, a quarter mile way. Nice love it!
Nice work
There is one or two lose valves, better check them before they jump off , that happened to my 454 , and it dropped a valve, and you know what happened after that, loll, 19 and 22 tho, koollove the sound , all but the one or two clicking sounds on drivers side bank, thanks brother thanks praise Jesus Christ amen. BigAl California.
Was thinking the same either valves or loose rocker arms in there lol awesome piece of work though 👏 that's 1 hell of a power plant
I heard the same thing probably need rocker adjusted
Most likely a solid lifter camshaft
That is awesome man
Couldn't even pull into the driveway with that. you would have to park on the street. 💪👍💯.
What are those little vent on the top called the ones that open when throttles
Butterflies or throttle blade on a supercharger
