When I was kid, my dad had a blown 392 sitting in a Speedway Motors t bucket. Imagine riding in a go cart with this motor and about 50lbs of fiberglass to protect you. To top it off it had a beer keg gas tank as a rear bumper.
A friend of mine had a 392 in a Stevens hull, with Caselli V-drive. I put my foot in there and I left it. The boat just kept coming on, until it was leaping off the surface of the water. I backed out of it real slowly. 2X4 cross ram, Hunt Magneto, the only thing I can compare it to is a 427 side oiler In a Sanger hull 2X4 tunnel ram. 106 mph- for sure. Brutal.
My first experience with noticing a car was when Dad bought a 1959 Dodge Sierra Spectator D500. Red and white, with a/c in the front and the back! As it turned out, I developed a love for long roofs because of it. My first HEMI experience came when I had the fortune of buying a 392 out of a 58 Imperial, along with the transmission and rear end assembly. It ran well [car was totaled from the rear] and was complete. With lots of help, that combination found its way into a 34 Vicky. Spent a couple years putting it together, never did get it painted. Owned it for 8 years. Sure do wish I'd kept it. Nice job on your engine. How did the EFI work? No such animal back in the 60s...that was practical. The MOPAR unit was unobtanium and didn't work well, anyhow...
You do it just how I would on a first start,get it idling,check rpm,check timing,check exhaust Temps.hope it,s still running sweet for ya, Best wishes to you all,from,Auckland,New Zealand.
You know, Dominic, the sound of a hot rod engine is something I’ve loved over all of my 73 years. I grew up building cars way back in the day when there weren’t a whole lot of commercially available parts … we built them. And, if this were 1958 there wouldn’t be much of an issue. Back then few families had more than one vehicle. But there are too many of us on this planet in 2022 and far, far too many cars. The climate crisis isn’t a joke, Dominic and denying it is not particularly rational. I don’t think the electric car is a solution at all. The answer is far fewer vehicles and far more public transportation, and then maybe we could all appreciate the odd beautiful 1958 blown hemi.
@@dougthomson5544 the “less cars, more public transportation” comment is as irrational as the electric cars comment for people who don’t live in the city. There is no public transportation for someone who lives in the country and drives an hour plus to work or the grocery store

If all components are new, what is the break-in like for a motor and blower like that? Also, when blown, is there a rule of thumb or percentage of stock/standard hemi motor carburetor cfm that is added to these carburetor's specs for the blower to breathe well? 👍✌

Really like your parts selections on this. The MT valve covers , the headers look great , the Hot Heads intake , all good stuff for sure.

Yep love to that in an old beetle
Amazing that is how they built them from the factory in 1958.
How far we have regressed technologically.
No there was no blower on them just a carberator one not two unless there were three two barrels.

Wat a cool toy to have
You don’t need the temp gun, you can hear all cylinders are firing just nicely ☝️
Is this engine a big block?
Hows it not over heating I see a garden hose in and nothing out😳
The hose is dumping out far in the distance.
@@jffo I don’t see the dumping hose connection let alone a radiator 👀

Super sport engine HEMI with compressor & carburators. Edelbrock or Holley?
Riesgoso, dónde la polea jale la camisa...valiste 🤣🤟
Has it got a vacuum leak @ idle ???
I have a 2005 dodge Magnum that would fit in perfectly.
Its alive!

roller cam i hope?
Can it run Crysis 3 though
Can im asking 1 question? Why its called hemi engine?
Thanks for the aswer 🙏
Its called a HEMI engine because it has a Hemispherical combustion chamber.
how much?
Is it just sitting on a block of wood ?
It’s more of a well-fabricated wooden stand- surprisingly stable.
Can you beat that sound, old hemisound!?
Runs well
Hi,,Awsome job,,say are the 354 and 392 basically the same externally just different cubic inch on the insides ?
@Jeremy Thompson your right on all counts. Over all, sounds good. EFI will make a big difference. Good luck. 😊

@@strattuner would you know the deck height of a 393 by chance? is there a easy way to id a 392?
How much engine compression with and without the blower ? How many horsepower ? Thanks
The compression is around 8 static. The aluminum heads help as well.
Do you run it on alchool?
currently setup for gasoline
Is that motor for sale? I need a new engine for my Dodge mini-van!
how much power does it make?
Designed for California street-use - around 700HP. But of course, that depends greatly on the type of gas we run.
@On The Road With Alx Around 700 HP
Blower surge with a vacuum leak to boot. PITA to tune to say the least. Just keep the RPM's up!!
Saw 1 in a dodge dump truck in 1988 truck WA late 50s I'd say.
What’s the point, if it’s not in a vehicle?
I'm sure its headed there eventually...some guys build for others or build and test first out of car. I just re gasketed the 302 in my mustang and put it all back in the car and the rear main leaked..wish I could have had it out of car to find that out first instead of having to pull the trans again.
lovely
Will it run on 91 octane?
Yeah- built for California street use.
Whoa!😁🤟
Oh my the sound of that blower just makin me horney
Beast
Runs like my 390.
Hard to get one to come in pulling air .......but over all sounds great ....
Blowed. Shole nuff is.
What intake ?
It’s a Hot Heads Blower Manifold
My lawnmower sounds like that.
Nice
Blip the throttle shell run
That engine needs (2) Predator carbs. It'll be a monster in a slingshot rail.
If that cart had wings on it.....
Fuck yeah
I need new shorts
Idle is a bit high. Perhaps because of the vam and Blower? Then l, she wants to stay. This is a high strun Hemi
wow
Motor for a Jet boat fun squirt ..
Sadly 99% of the kids nowadays wouldn't even know what it was.
No way the head temp was 102 after 20 mins. that must be some kind of a mistake, engine sounds real good idle means nothing, it's on a wood block stand great job
where are numbers on block#1730438-1 A1 b7 W
Timing to advanced
Put that Hemi in a Ford. The ultimate dis. 😂
Yummy
we need efi
Well if its blown you better quit running it and rebuild it first
@@b6521 yes you are
