    My uncle had a 427 in his '66 Chevelle that was a real similar build and he put a 4-speed muncie behind it. He figured that would be plenty strong, but he scattered that transmission in less than 2 months. Everything was brand new.

    Basically the same engine I built for my Chevelle in 1985 except I was running flat tappets. I switched to square ports and could tell a big difference on the top, but hurt me down low. And either heads worked best at 37degrees. I believe the rectangular heads would make it to the 600hp mark. I loved watching this video on my big screen. Thanks Nick.

    I’ve grown to really enjoy your show. As a prior owner of a 99% performance machine shop I appreciate some of the problems you encounter and work through. My family is now on our 3rd generation of engine building and professional racing. Many of the engines on the TV show Street Outlaws No Prep Kings is built by our family. I’m old and retired and spend my time watching different shows related to engine building and stumbled onto yours. We built hundreds of big block Chevys staring back in the mid 70’s when NHRA first started the Super Gas class we built dozens of 454’s which were perfect at day and time for the class. We didn’t have a dyno back then so I like to watch you dyno those mild performance engines to see how much power they have.

    Hi Nick. Since you are doing a Chevy engine. I think you will enjoy this. One of my best friend's was a top engine builder who also knew Keith Black. We had built a small block Chevy 350 engine. Compression was 16.5 to 1 cam was 675/326 3/8 push rods if I remember correctly and I think the cam was 2 or 4 degrees advanced single carburetor. Turbo 400 transmission with a 5500 to 6000 stall don't remember what gears in the rear-ended it was only a quarter mile car a 1967 camaro. Two ring pistons.

    A bare block that had been stored for a long time, from about six months to three years, somehow makes the block much harder. One of the secrets to an engine block lasting a long time depends on how nimble the engine block is. With the constant heating and cooling, the engine is constantly expanding and contracting of which the engine block eventually will warp. With an iron block that is aged, it is less susceptible to being flimsy. The same goes for your diesel engine blocks, of which they are thicker than your contemporary gasoline powered engines.

      fun times for sure. Tuning or just tinkering every weekend. Now it's boring -- plugs maybe once a year, oil and filter every 3-4 months. Modern engines just don't make the same 'thunder' and some even don't make any noise at all- some even make fake noise. Sacrilege.

    If I remember right, the Yenko 427s were rated at 425 hp and 460 tq. It's amazing the uplift in performance you get from simply putting on more efficient heads, intake, and cam. I would love to do a build similar to this except using a 383-B Mopar to 426 Stroker and dropping it into a C-body to make a sleeper out of it.

I was a little off on the torque numbers, but I think that with the new distributor, and the 850 Carb, the 427 will make my predicted HP. George will have an awesome 68 Camaro with that motor under the hood.

      Another awesome build Nick! Back in 1981 my brother purchased a crate LS6 454 from chevrolet. Unlike the production car 11.1 closed chamber head, the over the counter crate engines are 10.25 open chamber. My brother had it in his 1967 camaro 4 speed 3.73 posi. He followed chevrolet's power book recommended set up. For a super responsive throttle and acceleration a holley 830 annual discharge double pumper along with stagger jetting for the factory dual plane hi-rise intake was just perfect set up for the camaro. During that time many magazine articles swayed readers away from running rectangular port heads for the street stating that low speed will be sluggish. Well this was not the case for the LS6 454. The factory solid lifter cam was very healthy but no where near radical like the L88 or the ZL1/LS7 cam. That 454 had plenty of low end grunt! I was 14 years old at the time. It was that LS6 that forever got me hooked on big block power. I currently have 2 big block engines that run on pump gas (91 octane) one making 705 hp and the other all aluminum 955 hp. Sorry to be a bit long winded, just wanted to share my experience and story.

    Needs ovate springs and titanium retainers. 800 cfm will feed it plenty.

    20:09 That's an odd drop off in power, likely the beginning of loss of valvetrain control. Those heads have a heavy intake valve, though not as bad as the factory 3/8" stem valve. I've witnessed severe valvetrain control loss, the graph falls straight down. This is just warning you it's not happy above 6400, and after listening to the owner wanting to spin it higher before this run, I would strongly suggest an ignition with a 6500 RPM limiter. Sweet graph with a very broad powerband.
