Wish I could rebuild my 350 with someone as with as much knowledge as you to verbally guide me with all the intricacies. Always been a bucket list thing for me to rebuild an engine bottom up!
You guys should do a how to video on electric fans/wiring as well as timing for the folks (like me) who have no clue. Love this channel, thanks!
i second this!
Dude if you can do all this you can hardwire an electric fan and a toggle switch come on
@@streetraceperformance7395 I’m going to give it a try. I’ve just never done it before and I guess I’m always afraid I’m going to mess something up. The car I bought has a cooler thermostat wired up in it and it was just confusing me.
@@kosworkshop I felt the same way when I had to do it, it's super easy dude all I was saying was if you can manage all this you can do that with ease
@@kosworkshop just don't touch anything you don't need to, fan is easy though. Hardwire positive terminal battery to ground, ground to toggle switch, opposite toggle prong to a fork and the positive and negative harness piece connectors or whatever it's actually called they're just little aluminum fitments that fit into the fans harness , just be sure not to reverse the polarity that can cause a surge and I recommend adding either a relay or an inline fuse somewhere between the second hardwire and the first prong on the toggle switch in case of a surge it will usually just blow the connection and save your switch and fan motor so you can just replace a relay or a fuse instesd of the entire shits
I'm just about to r&r&r a small block for the first time in 25 years. Thanks for the refresher!
Now it’s completely complete. This is such a good series for educational purposes. Awesome video guys!
I could fit most of my groceries in this bad boy! NICE VIDEO
I feel so lucky that I get to watch and listen to this guy talk about this stuff. He knows what he's talking about. I am learning so much from this man. Thank you sir.
Great series
Good job
Nice video and Good Job on the build!
First compliment is on the video, it was nice to watch a video that wasn't constantly interrupted with excessive noise and BS!
On the work, I Never knock the oil pickup on with the pump only supported by it's body(do that in a vice).
Second thing is that Carb. Yes, folks often go to big but 600 cfm(especially spread bore) is not a good idea for a 355 with 2 grand worth of trick flow heads. If the cam is anything better then stock, a 750 cfm, square bore Vac secondary would be best. That 600 is smaller than a stock quadrajet and (being a spreadbore) dumps too much of it's flow all at once, just before it runs out of flow and flat-lines the donor sheet. On a dyno, the motor will be flat after 5250 because of the airflow restriction (crazy carb).
Anyway, Nice job really!
Ya'll Take Care!
PS, You can make it the cooling system happy with a piece of hose 'bypass' where the heater would be plumbed.
BTW, Everyone can Monday morning quarterback and go on about lifters and their two cents worth. That wasn't what I was doing. I have been the 'budget man' for customer engines and I would have gotten 'smoked' for the heads, rockers and pushrods with that Carb.. the budget would have been; A: the same with the 750 and long-slot stamped rockers. B: A hundred higher with the 750 and 30 more horses or C: $1000 Lower with iron heads milled .090 and 'port cleanup'.
I think your Combo selection (but with the proper size carb) is the best choice. It makes the budget/dyno output sheet a lot sweeter when the customer can afford decent heads.
I hate it when a customer can't understand that trying to use cheaper Vortec heads, costs nearly as much because of the cost of an expensive intake manifold for those heads...
Again, Nice work folks!
Wow. I can’t change a tyre now I feel I want to rebuild an engine. Great video 👍
Thank you
Nice work
Fucking great series guys. Very well done/produced/edited and informative, great job 👏🏻
Man, these videos are awesome! Well done! To the point! Great skills/experience. Fixin to do a 350 build. 1st attempt. Definitely great reference videos. I love the detailed play by play explanation/action.
Love these trucks and the 350. Got the same combination in my 64 😎
Great job guy’s
I think you are very good mechanic and you do really good work I like the video keep up the good work
Definitely got my sub after this series. One of the most concise engine builds out there 🫡💪🏼
Thank you! We appreciate it.
Great vid lads, well done 👍
Awesome!
Great video
Yup like really at home
No fancy lift and million dollar set of tools❤❤
I call it "walking the dog". Pick that distributor up and drop it a tooth at a time and walk that oil pump rod exactly where it needs to be. If your good, ya get the distributor perfectly squared in the engine when ya get it timed. Usually pointing the rotor at the back of the carb will work out just right on most SBCs. Looks better than having the distributor twisted too far in either direction.
Great Video of Preparation and Dropping the engine in. Used tucked away a few thing as you did. Thanks.
Want to thank you for your help with my build. Between you chilton and work bench how to book, I’m almost done with my build. Took my son and me a year to get it together wish I could send pics 👍🏽
Great 4 part series! Keep 'em coming!!!
Really enjoyed watching the videos on this rebuild, very educational... putting a little 327 back together and it seems to "click" better watching how to do something as opposed to reading how to do it.... Thanks 👍👍
The Holley 600 cfm, can you do a video on adjusting it (or better explain how you know the setting are correct)? What is a good base setting to reset, air/fuel mixture to make sure it is working properly and how to find the correct what am I looking for in the electric choke idle setting, curb idle for my engine (305, stock in a 1983 GMC K1500). Awesome series, mind blow and learn a lot, thank you!
Thank you so much for this series!!!
Excellent series. Full of quality info. Keep up the good work gents.
Great series, learned a few things, some I would have done different, very good job , will be looking for more videos .
Great video guys I enjoy watching small block Chevy videos because that is what I run in my 2 wheel drive pulling truck and plus it helps me with some tips my motor is 350 bored to be a 366
Great videos!!
Sounds Excellent!!
Awesome videos!
Awesome job, guys. Camera work and editing are excellent. Great information!
Good job. Very thorough. I like it when it come together smoothly
Just amazing! I have been looking for this exact series. You have out done yourself and given me the knowledge I need to finish my 350 build. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
This engine sounds terrific!!! Your series is exactly what I have been looking for.. Great job and thank you for sharing.
Fuckin B-E-A-Utiful work my friend, thanks for showing us what Quality work really looks like!
Sick little engine I love it
I am new and I think your videos are the best kind of cool. I really enjoyed all 4. I subscribed and I will be watching more of your videos. :)
Glad you enjoy them, thank you!
Nice one gentlemen, I've really enjoyed the series. Now, how much horsepower are you guys anticipating this thing making with the goodies that you've pumped into it? Thanks.
Do you guys have a list of all the stuff you bought for the engine build? New follower. These are amazing videos.
Gudder job...awesome 👍
Well done😊
Nice
Great Videos !!! FYI That electric fan is way to small for that rad !!!
Really enjoyed the series. Thanks for the info. Were you not concerned that the lube on cam shaft and lifters had slid off during the long time between install and fire up?
This was an awesome series. I am currently doing a 350, and I learned a lot. I do have a question though. What is your opinion of the Pontiac 389 as a possible street build. Not for the track, but at least competitive on the street? Thank You.
17:12 If you want a good break-in oil, use Joe Gibbs BR30 oil.
19:20 Don’t turn the crank over too many times or you’ll wipe off all the lube off the cam lobes.
21:36 I like priming with the valve covers off. Remember on a Chevy SB you will need to turn the crank 90* so oil gets to the other head. With the covers on you wouldn’t see if oil made it up to all the pushrods.
That's a smooth running 350-355! Where are you located, I would like for you to build me one?
gotta fill the carb bowls up from the vent tubes !!!
The Harbor Freight 2,000 lb stand that I use doesn't work well with an engine hoist either...hoist needs about a foot & a half more boom on it & it would work better...
Hey guys great job ive learnt heaps from this build. Just a question, when you first started her up she was choofin a fair bit of smoke out the breather and even when it was switched off it kept goin. what was the reason behind that?
Always use thread locker on flex plate bolts. ARP installation instructions say to use 242 on threads and ARP lube under the head. I hope these flex plate bolts don't back out for you.
If they back out for us, it’ll be a first time. But thank you for your consideration.
When you prime the oil pump it will fill the lifters so the lash can be set. You'll know there pumped up when you see oil come threw the push rods. I would turn the motor while it was being primed so everything is equally primed threwout. Just saying don't go crazy wi qss th it😉
Could we possibly get a tutorial on tuning a carbuerator I got a old 350 with a 600 holley built almost exact to the 350 yall built just lookin for some help.
Yes we’ll have a video on tuning and timing coming in the soon future on our second channel. Keep posted!
Absolutley!!!
👍👍👍💪💪💪 sound Sweetman sweet great job
Do you have good luck with the composite exhaust gaskets not leaking?
I have had problems with composite gaskets leaking. I like the multi layer steal gaskets (factory style).
@@ZHPGarage thanks! I’m about to build my first engine. SBC 400. Great videos!
Correct me if I am wrong, but you are not supposed to lift the engine by bolting the engine hoist chains to the cylinder head, right?? Won't that damage the cylinder head and also the pressure on the head disturb the torque settings of the head bolts?? You bolted the hoist to the cylinder head , I am sure there must be a hoist mount on top of the block to lift the engine!!!🤔🤔🤔
Lifting from the cylinder heads won’t cause any damage. If you lift lower from the block it will make it too top heavy.
How are you, I’m rebuilding my sbc 350, can you please give me a break down of parts I need.
I’m new to the channel and I’m trying to figure out how to tell what engine is what .. I sorta have my own project but don’t know what’s in it other then a v8 8 plugs v8 right 😅😅 please help- it’s on a 89 camaro RS
Sounds really good. What is the total timing set at, and at what rpm?
Thank you. I set it at 34 degrees at 3200 RPM.
@@ZHPGarage Thanks. I set the total on mine at 32 degrees total at 3000 just this afternoon. I may try bumping it to 34
At 3200. Want to test it first. Its a 355 small block
Could you tell me the part number of the Howards cam you used? Curious because I bought one today. I went with 112141-10. I plan on rebuilding my 355 over the winter.
😎👍nice
Do u remember what ur total timing was? Thanks
Nice job! but those headers are an eyesore.
Thank you! Headers could definitely be changed, hopefully will deal with it in the future.
How much hp is this build pushing?
Ethan Hawke Rebuilds!
Is that a one wire Alt?
Yes
I want to drive it.
How much do u charge to rebuild a sbc 350
lol, some some jr college.
Distributor gear IS upside down.
Why would you put a damn electric fan instead of the mechanical fan. I dont trust electric fans! These guys are a bunch of idiots! The young generation of mechanics I'll pass!
Hehehe...he said small block Chubby!
I always loved the SBC check out my SBC on my channel!
