I just love the basic, down to earth and modest vibe of this channel, no bullshit, interesting and entertaining content. Production quality has increased and more projects are the only major chances I've witnessed since subscribing back during the Pt.2 of the Blazer build.
Lately it's been a routine where you upload on Saturday morning and I watch while I eat breakfast before I go to the garage to work on my own project car engine. Not this week. This week I'm taking a break because I finished tearing my engine down and now I'm waiting for the heads and internals to come back from the engine shop. Thanks for being part of my restomod routine.
Even though this series has been dragging for months (if not years), it's still very entertaining to watch, even though I've never had any experience with car engines in my life haha!
I absolutely love this channel, man. I don't have to worry about getting a $100,000 cnc machine to mimic the efforts shown here. It's great for regular folks. Keep up the great work.
The exhaust flange/head bolt problem is quite common on big block Chevys. Even high quality headers (Sandersons, at $1000+, for example) run into the heads of the short head bolts if you have ARP bolts. There are 3 solutions. 1. Switch back to stock head bolts, which are lower. 2. Grind clearance into the exhaust flange. 3. Grind down the bolt heads. (In some cases omitting the washer under the bolt head will get you enough clearance.) #2 is the commonest, requiring the least destructive changes to your engine. You can drill small holes in the dipstick at the full and add levels to make it easier to read, but I sandblasted the dipstick an inch above the full line and an inch below the add line and that makes it much easier.
I seen one of those blower's on fb like 3-4 weeks ago and thought of what you were going through with your and was like nope not doing it lol 😂 Can't wait to hear that blower whine
I have always loved cars but my knowledge has never extended beyond basic maintenance. The way he speaks makes all this seem so easy and it helps make it very entertaining. Dope video.
i love watching this series- im building a 6.0 lq4 and putting it into my 99 firebird and even though its two totally different games its fun to learn and see what applies to both builds
I love this build because it shows alot that you might have to do yourself when building a engine instead of all other videos where everything just bolts together with ease. Love the videos!
It's all coming together. Can't wait to see it finished. I guess since this videos are a good year or two old you have probaly got it mostly done by now xD
I enjoy the creativity used in finding solutions to problems on this channel. I tend to do the same when working on my car so I love to see new ideas I can also apply in the future.
I just want to say I've been around since the early days of the S10 blazer and you've been a huge inspiration to me to learn how to work on cars and start my own projects. I'm currently in the middle of a transmission rebuild on our jeep.
1:52 It reminded me of the Pinto; did you ever figure out the overheating issue? Dying to see how you're going to be ripping it apart to see what was really wrong with the cooling system
I did some work on the Pinto after getting it home, but it really needs a full teardown of the engine to check everything out and I have not gotten around to that yet unfortunately
Holy crap, a reply! That's ok, I think you should know by now your viewers don't mind how long it takes as long as we eventually get to see a video- or any video, really lol
My father did a couple engine repowers in Kenworths.........and even though he was just going up one generation in the same engine family ( NTC-855 Cummins) its amazing how many small things were different and very time consuming to change to make the installation complete.
Hi, it's always nice, interesting and funny to watch your videos and to see how you fix stuff. @16:28 normally this kind of idler pully should tension the belt on the back side (smooth side without ribs). I hope your belt doesn't get damaged.
Some parts of these videos are a little out of order, the header clearancing was done after the prelube without valve covers and I didn't carefully clean up all of the spilled oil.
I'm definitely no expert on the matter, but I don't believe modern Quaker State oil causes problems like some of the older formulations did. I've used it in quite a few engines over the last few years because of the price and availability, and haven't noticed any issues.
I'm sorry but he installed a Hardware store Galvanizes pipe fitting ..When Autozone or any of the other Big auto store chains would have had the proper plug hanging in on the HELP rack ..Maybe this guys dad owns the local hardware store and that's why we see so many hardware store fasteners .
I'm sure you've covered this in another video, but I keep wondering why you're so far "behind" in all your videos. By that I mean the work in this video was done nearly three years ago. Have you been in jail or something?!

Just about to sleep after my 12hr backshift, guess i'm not sleeping yet!
Same here but only eight hours of stupidity.
@@robertspray7472 hey no shortage of stupidity, but atleast we got something nice after a long day
Was just about to sleep, but not anymore lol
Same here, just did one more youtube refresh and audibly gasped
i just love this series! not all the bells and whistles just a guy in his shop making his project work with what he's got available LOVE THIS!!

thanks for the celsius conversions

Never clicked on a video so fast. Love this series

Can't wait to hear that blower whine
this should be illegal to make such chill video
I could listen to you talk about your trials and tribulations all day. Keep up the good work and I hope you're having fun overcoming your hurdles.

You're still definitely one of my favourite channels, and this update made me really happy to see! Keep up the wonderful work
I am just amazed by the amount of creativity you have!
I can’t wait to see this run!! Awesome series.
Thank you for the new episode! A very nice surprise on a already good saturday evening 😊
Things are looking good! Thanks for sticking with this project and carrying through. If I was looking for footage I shot 2 years ago I'd be lost!
i cant wait for this engine to be running
Been following this project since the beginning. It's coming along really well!
I love this build because it shows alot that you might have to do yourself when building a engine instead of all other videos where everything just bolts together with ease. Love the videos!
It has been amazing watching this series! been here since the beginning.
as soon as i heard ramrod a shop towel, i said "Car Ramrod!"
It's all coming together. Can't wait to see it finished. I guess since this videos are a good year or two old you have probaly got it mostly done by now xD
Don’t forget to use Breakin oil
lets go.i cant wait to see the engine swap finished
I enjoy the creativity used in finding solutions to problems on this channel. I tend to do the same when working on my car so I love to see new ideas I can also apply in the future.
I don't have 10% of your patience. Love this series and can't wait to hear it run and drive!
Always one of my favorites.
boy, seeing it nearly put together, it looks like a beast
I'm so excited to see this thing run
Always excited to see a new video
With them cam bearings being worn in that engine I would highly recommend putting 20w50 oil in that engine.
Such informative videos. Loved your channel for years
GREAT EPISODE!! W8TING FOR NEXT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! GREETINGS FROM POLISH FANS!
Such a satisfying episode after years of work. Great job man.
I just want to say I've been around since the early days of the S10 blazer and you've been a huge inspiration to me to learn how to work on cars and start my own projects. I'm currently in the middle of a transmission rebuild on our jeep.
That's so nice! Thank you mister for the video and for share knowledge!
Love your commentary!!
Loved it and can't wait to see the fuel system! Is it getting costly yet. Do you think it'll hit 500hp, and are you going to tune it youself?
I can definately see it hitting 500hp.
really cant wait to see it all come together
awesome work so far
Yes. Saturday upload for aus

@@FuzzyDiceProjects I'm dying to know what was going on with that! I'm gonna watch the Pinto series again this weekend.
@@FuzzyDiceProjects let us know!
For the love of God, I am in patient. I hope there’s another video coming out this weekend.

This channel goes hard
You need to weigh that whole thing before installing. Will be a big day to start it up. Good work on all of it👌✅🇫🇮🇺🇸
Love these series man! Thanks
Perfect start to a Saturday morning. Thank you!
The thread sealant on the temperature switch may cause it to lose ground
Nice content! I hope that it is not limited to your previous footage and it will continue on semi-regular basis.
I really like your channel! Keep it up!
Great job with these videos man, keep it up!
So this was 3 years ago?!
Another fuzzy dice video! I’m glad the engine is coming together despite its condition. When is the pinto series going to start back up?
That engine is looking like a beast
Sweet!
I love this channel so much
Yeah! Oil pressure!
Really love these video's. Just keep them coming
It's all coming along nicely. Great video
Great job...keep going
Hi, it's always nice, interesting and funny to watch your videos and to see how you fix stuff.
@16:28 normally this kind of idler pully should tension the belt on the back side (smooth side without ribs). I hope your belt doesn't get damaged.
Man, that engine looking good.
Love it!
Great job. And super entertaining.
I love your videos. Can’t wait to see the next video
Really looking like an engine!!
Pretty interesting series so far.
looking good, brother
Another great video thanks
Well done dude looking great
Great episode!
Nice!
Predator Carbs!
When you trimmed the first header it looked like one of the head bolts was seeping
Some parts of these videos are a little out of order, the header clearancing was done after the prelube without valve covers and I didn't carefully clean up all of the spilled oil.
@@FuzzyDiceProjects gotcha. Just didn't want you to have a problem man. Great videos!
Teflon tape can sometimes interfere with switch ground circuit.
Letttttttssssss gooooooo!
Quaker state oil with a flat tappet camshaft.
I noticed that too.
It will be fine, he added a ZDDP package and also Quaker State isn't bad like it was because the quality went up after the Pennzoil / Shell purchase.
I should add I used to be a HUGE anti Quaker Sludge advocate.
I'm definitely no expert on the matter, but I don't believe modern Quaker State oil causes problems like some of the older formulations did. I've used it in quite a few engines over the last few years because of the price and availability, and haven't noticed any issues.
Avatar 4 will come out before this engine starts 😂
Whats with all the rtv.
Somewhere I missed the 454 assembly. What episode was that?
Please add a heat shield or rub shield to your coolant bypass hose.
Did you ever replace that intake valve that looked like shit? Or you’re winging it?
Iirc he put it back in
👍
I'm sorry but he installed a Hardware store Galvanizes pipe fitting ..When Autozone or any of the other Big auto store chains would have had the proper plug hanging in on the HELP rack ..Maybe this guys dad owns the local hardware store and that's why we see so many hardware store fasteners .
❤
I just realized, that thermostat housing is the same as an Isuzu 4jb1 diesel engine 😂
Bring back the pinto please
commenting for algo!
WHERE IS THE PINTO!!!
Everyone relax. Those are OSHA approved flip flops.
first
I'm sure you've covered this in another video, but I keep wondering why you're so far "behind" in all your videos. By that I mean the work in this video was done nearly three years ago. Have you been in jail or something?!
Such a great edit!!! Thank you
How are you posting videos of stuff from literally three years ago!? Get something done then post it
