Sounds like a fun build Harv! If it’s legal, the guys at Engine Masters did a cool experiment with different heights, shapes and variations of velocity stacks on top of the carb. Some did very little, some did nothing and 1 or 2 of them actually made some measurable h.p. We’re not talking big gains here but as you said, freeing up all the little horsepowers here and there add up! Get well soon, we have a lot more to learn from you!
Sounds fun, you know I really enjoyed this video today. I can't remember the last time I sat and watched a video for nearly half an hour and enjoyed about every minute of it. I guess i forgot how pure and down home your videos are, i really like that there isn't any interrupting ads, I'll be clicking back over here more often. I used to watch every video you put out. I even remember watching the ones of you playing guitar having your band on stage. Great stuff 👍
Glad to hear that you are going to get some help and get straightened out Harvey. Still praying for you brother. Stay safe and God bless you and your family.
Amzoil all the way for the engine oil. That in itself is a game changer. I can't wait to see what you come up with brother 👍. Be good as always. 5/24👍👍👍
my boss used to design his own cams he spent thousands of hours flow testing dyno testing, he said the same , you can go big valves big exhaust , port, but lift really helps , he had a 9 sec vw beetle.
Looking forward to watching this build. I’m a racer, run a street stock class which is similar. One thing about the vortec block, I’m not sure if they have the hole for the fuel pump pushrod, the 602 blocks do but I don’t think the truck blocks do. Might want to look at that before you send it to the machine shop. That is if you have to run a mechanical fuel pump.
Hey buddy glad to see your smillin face again. Hopping you start feelin better so we can all enjoy your smarts and stories and crazy theories hahaha. Love ya brother and wish you nothing but the best
IONHORSE I love anytime I can get with you. Bless your kind and loving soul:) You are my hero in life:) Bless all you do for us and all the sharing of your wisdom with us:)
harvey "i know im a broken down record player" but if you can watch forks over knives on youtube , it starts real slow but bare with it, its inspiring, gives you real hope and drive, all science fact you will be astounded at what you see and how people dramatically improve im talking worst case scenarious becoming the exact opposite. i just wanna see you happy again mate happy and feeling faaaar better than you have felt for many years, thats what happened to the people in this documentary. food for thought harvey , your a good man you deserve a break, Gods always their too mate.
Bless you IRONHORSE for teaching so much about life and how to live a life of high integrity and respect. Bless you kind soul for making me a better husband, father and man in life:) You have Blessed me and my family in so many ways IRONHORSE:)
Harv hope you are feeling better, I took you expert knowledge and converted my own 372 x-torq to old school 372 and man wow!!! I can’t express how much I appreciate you sharing your expertise in chainsaw building, you are the real deal, get healthy my friend do we can learn more from you. Your knowledge is priceless
We are limited to 390/410 lift, no porting but you can spend some time on the valves, I would keep the 1.94/1.50 valves, back cut the intake valves and radius the exhaust valve between the face and the margin.
I know what your going threw Harv, I had afib to in 2015 and got that ablation done to my heart then, Diltiazem blood pressure meds. Been doing good ever since. Take it easy !
You got this! All though if you’re on your death bed you really should build a Ford motor. It’ll be something you can pass on. All in fun I Horse, I so enjoy all your posts 90% of your posts are on the money, and that’s great because most posts are 47% Thank you, Man!
Not engine related but I have noticed over the 24 yrs of dirt track racing I've attended theirs alot of speed available in the lower classes by making sure your rolling resistance is cut down as much as possible and having all your suspension parts moving freely makes a huge difference
Can't wait to see you up and running good again Harv. Love the Chevy engine builds. Been dying to see some of the dirt track action over in your neck of the woods
Hey Harvey! Glad to see ya back on here, I can relate 100% about not being able to sit back an not stay doing something. But double edged sword.......don't over do it, an listen to what them ol drs tell you! I'll say a prayer for you an the family for during this time, an speedy recovery. Love seeing your videos, an how real you are, an down to earth! Keep on keepin on my friend!
I like the concept for sure. I prefer lower compression ratio just to get more advance.never did this but I always thought about looking into different manufacture lifters to try and get the biggest diameter ones I could to keep them on the lobe longer.Might make a difference but not sure.
Compression equals power. You are correct about the lifters but there is a lot of machining involved. If he’s allowed roller lifters I would go that route, you can run a more aggressive camshaft with roller lifters.
It is wonderful to see you behind the camera again very glad to hear you have your doctor's appointment soon can't even imagine how much stuff is going to get done when you feel better after feeling like crap for this long much love to you keep taking care of yourself Harvey!!
Hey buddy how did the wildthing do I have looked everywhere for video but I can't seem to find anything. Hope your procedure goes well and you get to feeling better buddy
I have had 2 ablasions. 3 years apart. The second one worked better. Magnesium is good for the heart and has helped me alot. Started with 250 now i take 400 mg. My levels were low everytime i was in the er. Afib SUCKS!!
Ironhorse i Understand a lot of things and I don't give up my secrets I come from a pulling and a little of drag racing family back ground and doing wicked stuff to engines.
Wow I didn't realize u were that close to me if ur right by woodhaul I'm only about 1.5 hours away near towanda,pa I need some saw work done if ur willing I could just drop them off
PAC springs are nice... stock vortec 906 heads are decent but... "IF" you're able to run a vortec 906 replacement head... I highly suggest the EQ CH350-C 😉 (I'm commenting while watching... sooo my comments might be redundant. idk yet) lol
If you can run pump E85... you'll gain hp/tq. We ran 2.02/1.6 in our EQ 906s, we angle milled the heads 0-100... and we made slightly over 450hp with almost as much torque... but, we had 1.6/1.5 roller rockers, solid cam with .518/.526 lift. super light/short skirt pistons, with small/thin metric rings, light rods and a "light" crank (40#)... legal for SS. That motor focused on velocity in the ports and maximun cylinder volume/efficiency. Great little motor... fawker would pull all the way to Next Tuesday.
500cfm 2bbl VDL carb (I modified the metering block/passages/air bleeds) Edelbrock intake 7116 EQ 906 heads angle milled 0-100, pac springs, Ferrea valves 2.02/1.6, scorpion 1.6/1.5 roller rockers, Jones solid dual pattern cam and lofter set, mahle metric ringed coated pistons, scat 4340 rods, scat f43 crank, sa gear timing gear set, 2 piece timing cover. Nothing spectacular or overly expensive... but it all just worked very well together! Anything will run good as long as everything works well together. If you can get all of the cylinders flowing/producing the same power (with-in the margin of error) one can build a lot of power for minimal costs. I prided my builds/cars etc on less money spent while beating the guys who spent the big bucks... most don't want to take the time doing their own research/homework.
@theironhorse6600 yessir. Probably nothing too useful in my replies... but I did a lot of research on vortec heads. 062s are for light duty use... 906s are medium to heavy-duty use... we found on the flow bench that the 906s actually flow better than the 062s... the 062s have induction hardened exh seats while the 906s have press-in seats... both castings have sharp internal corners in the coolant passage, creating hot pockets as well as relatively thin decks... hence why they tend to crack/pop when they get a little too warm. The EQs are a completely different animal... they flow extremely well, thicker, better castings, the coolant passages have been reshaped to flow better, and they corrected the sharp corners so there's no hot spots...
Hi Harvey I beat you by one day! going in on tuesday 7am! I did go in two weeks ago after waiting 8 hours was sent home due to not having a bed for me! so it's fingers 🤞for the two of us! hope this fixes it this time as it's my second round! off now to pack my case!! all the best alan.
Hey Ironhorse I love your videos, you have inspired me to try rebuilding a saw given to me a ms460.. I was hoping someone could give me some numbers to work off of.. I used a piece of glass to plain the squish down to about .0025 and I bought a digital degree wheel from hmwf I wanted to prove anyone can do it.. well I'm a little over my head and need a little reassurance any help would be greatly appreciated.
i wonder are their any foods that will help you , food is medicine also. im "VERY" glad to hear you say the issue is not permanent , our neighbour has had a racing heart since birth so his mother grew rosemary for him , i "think" she said she makes him a mild rosemary tea to drink that slows his heart. for me i just have a fasting diet, it helps me alot i go 16 to 20hrs each day no food water only , so i quit eating about 4pm, sleep like a baby that way no tossing and turning.
Can you change the rockers get more lift //run the exhust right to the tires get em hot and sticky run the lifter on the snap ring no pump up micro polish all moveing. Parts and a ship load more
I'm trying to reach you as no one else seems to be able to answer my questions about a Holzfforma G066 saw I bought. Can I email you or contact you in some way? It starts and runs fine, but I can not get the idle down slow enough to stop the chain from turning without it dying.
So, in Epping NH 1996 at Star back in speedway 1/4m track tar mild bank, most passing is done going into turn one and coming out of turn four. We used a 71-cutlass rear end in a 77 Monty and with the use of manipulating the torsion in the left rear and a chain raped around the right rear axle tub and a shortened coil spring sucked down with the chain made it stick coming out of turn four and we would get launched to cross over and get down under the clam we were chasing that lap. To make it stick going down on turn one was cause the alignment was catty wanked so when the two front tiers would be geeing down and around with that force, they would be evenly in contact with the road surface. Basically, the car had two zip codes of body roll. The engine had a silencer on it we had to try and not draw attention to that.We did rape the feulk line with tin foial. Flying Frank Bryian had come up with that as one of the tricks to keep from vaporlock when thing got hot under the lid. We had to keep the bowl gas from boiling. We were either on the floor or totaly off in the turns. Anybody say baffels.Extra....
Shame you are four plus hours from me Harve. I would help you out fella till you get better. How many miles are on your clock ?? Now lets get back to brass tacks. One easy way to get more horsepower is to coat the internal parts with thermal barrier coatings. Love peace and will see you later too. vf
My buddy was a mechanic for big coal company he had 97 chevy truck 350 vor tech everyone that worked there made fun of him for old ass truck needs to be retired. Just happens the road in front of coal yard was straight and wide he smoked everyone completely stoke
Very happy to see you in a video again. Was getting worried. Take it easy and hoping for a good result on your surgery.
Thanks for the video Ironhorse. Praying for you brother. Hope you get your health back soon.
Sounds like a fun build Harv! If it’s legal, the guys at Engine Masters did a cool experiment with different heights, shapes and variations of velocity stacks on top of the carb. Some did very little, some did nothing and 1 or 2 of them actually made some measurable h.p. We’re not talking big gains here but as you said, freeing up all the little horsepowers here and there add up! Get well soon, we have a lot more to learn from you!
Good to hear the surgery is getting closer..hope for a speedy recovery..woodhull is a great dirt track..small town USA☺☺
Good to see you harv. The process of making the small block is going to be really interesting with that amount of restrictions. Have a good day
I just had ablation done 3 weeks ago. Been fighting Afib for 5 years. I feel fantastic now. Hopefully you will to. Thank You for the great videos.
Good to see you Harv and good luck with the op next week, put the feet up for a bit, we'll be here ...🍀🍀🍀
Sounds fun, you know I really enjoyed this video today. I can't remember the last time I sat and watched a video for nearly half an hour and enjoyed about every minute of it. I guess i forgot how pure and down home your videos are, i really like that there isn't any interrupting ads, I'll be clicking back over here more often. I used to watch every video you put out. I even remember watching the ones of you playing guitar having your band on stage. Great stuff 👍
Praying for your health and safety. Get healed! Love these engine videos and your theory
My dad used to build all of his motors, but for his pipick up's, 350 chev with a 3/4 cam and 400 chev heads on it, good long running stout motor
Hay there Harvey nice to see you again man ....wishing you and your family NOTHING BUT THE BEST MAN ....keep on keeping on man. ..
Glad to see those spirits up.
Heck, maybe they'll port your ticker's transfers.
Only love brother.
Stay in the fight, Airborne.
All the Way!
Always good to hear from you buddy! Hope all the best!!!
Excited to watch the small block build bean wanting to build one for my 88 Silverado 4×4.
I forgot it is very nice to see you again missed your videos I hope you get better and on a speedy recovery 🙏 are with you
Glad to hear that you are going to get some help and get straightened out Harvey. Still praying for you brother. Stay safe and God bless you and your family.

Спасибо 🙏💕 за видео! Привет вам из России 🇷🇺🤝
Сожалею, что акции на бирже системы Пэтриот резко пошли вниз(((
Кинжал 🗡💪
Glad to hear you mention center line duration. In my opinion that's a camshafts most important profile. Especially in a big block... Get Better!!
🤙😊
Its good to see you again Ironhorse! Cant wait too see more videos.
Harvey good wishes to you hope your surgery goes well bud , I'm kinda pumped up about your engine build for the dirt track can't wait bud God bless .

Be well my friend. Thoughts and payers with you.
Good to see you again Harve. Good luck
Bullet cams are a good choice. Spend the money on good lifters, I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about lifters the last couple years.
So good to see you back on the tube. You are in my thoughts and Prayers .
Hope to see you doing better after your factory reset .
😉👍
Praying for you Harvey. 🙏
Keep er going ! We are all here for ya !!! ❤
He is a crook

Best wishes to you Harvey on your surgery and speedy recovery
Great to see you

Not engine related but I have noticed over the 24 yrs of dirt track racing I've attended theirs alot of speed available in the lower classes by making sure your rolling resistance is cut down as much as possible and having all your suspension parts moving freely makes a huge difference
Oil control is very important when building dirt track engines .
Good luck with the op get better soon
Almost like a pro stock , I'm no stranger to dirt track racing in Clinton County PA , selingsgrove Speedway
Hope things go good. Miss watching your videos
Hope u get well an get stuff took care of
Sure miss your videos hurry back love learning from you
Can't wait to see you up and running good again Harv. Love the Chevy engine builds. Been dying to see some of the dirt track action over in your neck of the woods

Looks awsome. What’s the best way to fix a good scratch on 630 crank seal housing? Sealant doesn’t work. JB weld?
I would say a new case half. Not the cheapest though.
It is wonderful to see you behind the camera again very glad to hear you have your doctor's appointment soon can't even imagine how much stuff is going to get done when you feel better after feeling like crap for this long much love to you keep taking care of yourself Harvey!!

A good ring pack will free up some horse power ,
Hey IronHorse, always love when you post a new video. I sent you an email on a stihl ms440 I’m building could I get your thoughts on it?
Make sure you a good oil pump and do all the oiling tricks to a sbc if not you'll have a bad day at woodhull NewYork
Nice! I’m a race fan so this is right up my alley, but to be honest you could put puzzles together and I’d watch it.
Harvey I have a couple of dirt track oil pans for wet sump if you need one just reach out and I'll donate it for your project

Sorry buddy more too porting saws than just watching TH-cam need practice on no good cylinders before touching a good cylinder
Ironhorse is it possible to adapt a 3120 motor to a 395??
This is going to be fun 😊
Have a great day everyone 😀 😊
Can’t wait to see you back up and frisky Mr Drake ❤❤
Hi ironhore, I'm looking a old stihl 311y carburetor
i wonder are their any foods that will help you , food is medicine also. im "VERY" glad to hear you say the issue is not permanent , our neighbour has had a racing heart since birth so his mother grew rosemary for him , i "think" she said she makes him a mild rosemary tea to drink that slows his heart. for me i just have a fasting diet, it helps me alot i go 16 to 20hrs each day no food water only , so i quit eating about 4pm, sleep like a baby that way no tossing and turning.
Hi Harvey. I was thinking of you today. How you are well and see more youtube shows. Mike Saunders
Pull more air with some valve overlap
Can you change the rockers get more lift //run the exhust right to the tires get em hot and sticky run the lifter on the snap ring no pump up micro polish all moveing. Parts and a ship load more
One more thing get better
Yes
👍
I'm trying to reach you as no one else seems to be able to answer my questions about a Holzfforma G066 saw I bought. Can I email you or contact you in some way? It starts and runs fine, but I can not get the idle down slow enough to stop the chain from turning without it dying.
Email me Ironhorsechainsaw@gmail.com
So, in Epping NH 1996 at Star back in speedway 1/4m track tar mild bank, most passing is done going into turn one and coming out of turn four. We used a 71-cutlass rear end in a 77 Monty and with the use of manipulating the torsion in the left rear and a chain raped around the right rear axle tub and a shortened coil spring sucked down with the chain made it stick coming out of turn four and we would get launched to cross over and get down under the clam we were chasing that lap. To make it stick going down on turn one was cause the alignment was catty wanked so when the two front tiers would be geeing down and around with that force, they would be evenly in contact with the road surface. Basically, the car had two zip codes of body roll. The engine had a silencer on it we had to try and not draw attention to that.We did rape the feulk line with tin foial. Flying Frank Bryian had come up with that as one of the tricks to keep from vaporlock when thing got hot under the lid. We had to keep the bowl gas from boiling. We were either on the floor or totaly off in the turns. Anybody say baffels.Extra....
I grew up in Epping.. Small world.
@@Houseworksaws Cool. Any hide or hear of Ironhorse. He went in for a valve job last Wednesday
@@marcduclos9789 I haven’t seen anything no
Do they let you run an electric water pump
Shame you are four plus hours from me Harve. I would help you out fella till you get better. How many miles are on your clock ?? Now lets get back to brass tacks. One easy way to get more horsepower is to coat the internal parts with thermal barrier coatings.
Love peace and will see you later too. vf
Are you overthinking the engine and not tweaking the gears and transmission?
Hope you are ok Harvey
The engine your building should be around 400 hp
My buddy was a mechanic for big coal company he had 97 chevy truck 350 vor tech everyone that worked there made fun of him for old ass truck needs to be retired. Just happens the road in front of coal yard was straight and wide he smoked everyone completely stoke
Hey bud. Whats your email i got a saw i would like you to to look at are maybe talked to me about. I hope you feel better buddy.
