3:15 Joe I am so glad you addressed this , I've heard of 1,000s of 5.9 Cummins locked up because paint over spray got into the motor. You would think the torque of a Cummins Turbo Diesel could over power the tensile strength of lime green, fire engine red, and sunset orange spray painted engines, but it can't. Spray paint will ruin your motor. It's worse then not properly oiling your muffler bearing.........#SprayPaintDestroys I also heard spray paint is what is causing all the lifter failure, parts shortage, and intake gaskets to shrink ......... Great Video Joe! You are one step closer to heading to the strip again! Can't wait to hear this thing rip!! Thank you for making Remy the Adventure kitty the number 1 automotive cat!
Nice Joe!!!! I suspected thousands if not more engines must be prone to seizing from paint overspray and or flakes/chips because it actually happened to me. Yes I was a victim of this heinous atrocity. Although I did survive it was an absolute paint bath!!! I simply painted an engine and safely tucked it away in the weather and rain for it's beauty to be seen by all. Next thing I know out of nowhere after 5 years of being fine, the engine just seized up!! I hope nobody else has to suffer through the pain I've experienced!!! So tell the world Joe, and make this problem known!!!
Thanks for the build progress Joe. Nice engine! Love the Hemi orange. Valve covers and intake are awesome. Great and useful content as always. Thanks, EM.
Looks awesome!! Great video. I also had to shim my Rocker shafts a little more on one side than the other when I put mine together. Great job! Gonna make that ole Cuda haul ass for sure!, cant wait to see it goin down the track 👍
@@JustMoparJoe Well thank you very much but all I have won is Trophy classes, I have been trying to run 2 classes every time I go,to get more seat time and get the car figured out and work on my reaction time,so I try to run Trophy class along with either Pro class or Footbrake, etc. I wish I would have some wins in those other classes,then I would at least have won some cash! Lol I'm doing a lot better with my reaction time but ill red light once and it seems to mess me up the rest of the night lol. I lost my last race in the other class last night by .003 seconds because of my slow reaction time, I ran dead on my dial in but had a bad light of .063,and the other guy had just a little better reaction time so I lost lol....oh well,ill try again next week👍 I would love to race together sometime that would be a great fun time for sure! Hopefully we can make that happen sometime, as far as the car on your channel, I dont believe my car is worthy of that, I do Appreciate the gesture for sure but maybe you would be better off making that decision after you see the car in person lol....sorry so long,I ramble to much, take care and hope to see that Cuda goin down the track soon😊
Thanks Mark! I didn’t get to make the races this weekend, but it gives more time to slow down and have the car right. I’m usually full sprinting to get it done and bypass a few things that could make the car better.
Also dont for get to drill 4 extra holes in the oil filter plate between the factory holes and you can go a little bigger on the width of the oil holes on the same plate will increase oil flow and if you get engine paint over spray on spark plugs be sure to clean them off. the paint conducts electricity and will cause the electricity from the plug wires to ground out to the heads because of the paint . my dad had a 1978 ford pickup and we rebuilt the engine and the plugs got over spray on them . I was 11 when I helped him paint the engine .ran like crap and a ford buddy of his found out the paint was the issue.
Thanks for the insight! That’s crazy about the paint. I usually leave mine out when painting, or throw in some old ones. Mark Worman shoots his engines with plugs in, as he says “like the factory”.
Home Depot has VHT paint. I use the Fel Pro intake gaskets and I used the Mr Gasket Ultra Torque head gaskets on my 318 that had unfinished block deck and they sealed fine. I also ran the Cometic gaskets on my 500” low deck after taking Fel Pro off and they sealed fine.
I'm glad to see that you are taking the painting seriously 😳 I would not want to see a good 408 lock up from spec's. Great Sunday to you Joe! Tell everyone I said hello and enjoy your day. We enjoyed your video.
@@JustMoparJoe you are welcome and I thank you for keeping a dream alive on my end. Hopefully it will materialize sometime before I get too old. Have a great day.
@@JustMoparJoe Sorry about blabbing your ears off but I am happy you can do a family, work, cars/projects, and then your channel and replying back to us all. To a little guy like me that is priceless and so much better than someone else who just uses it for the money aspect of it. Just the fact that you enjoy it and communicate back and help people is just not enough good to be said! Especially someone who has a good bit on his plate. TTYL
Uncle Tony has good videos on block prep. Did you do your you did prep wrong? Blocks need so much prep and if you have sollid ideas. Then try it out. I helped build my first engine when l was 8. Awe he left the feed what a badass.
@@JustMoparJoe The two of you together when it comes to engine stuff in general or 408 strokers I am all eyes and ears. I am building a 406 0.020 over with EQ New Zealand heads, Scat cast crank, scat forged rods. I am having a hard time deciding on my cam. Going into a 83 Ramcharger that will see off road use but, nothing hard. Too valuable to beat up. Like how you use the .45 ACP as a punch. Remember this always. A true mechanic see's more uses for a tool than its original design intentions. That applies to off the wall stuff dreamed up as well. I am loving this build. Indie heads are a damn good score for a SBM. Drop the hammer on the green Brother.
@@JustMoparJoe that's all that matters and you are a very good builder and I would love to have you build me a screaming machine motor, I just don't have the cash for the parts I need for the big power you can make with the good stuff you have amassed. Just glad that you are moving forward with your projects and the more you enjoy it the less of job or work it is. A man whose work is loved by him is not really work. Sounds corny but I believe it is true.
I don’t really have a goal as in a dyno number. I would think 425 hp and 475 foot pounds would be achievable with the right tuning. Just an old slow bracket car.
@@JustMoparJoe to you maybe, but to me a dream and something I would be very proud and happy to have made and raced! Be safe and I will eventually get to see you in person running a few passes I hope. Over and out buddy.
Your the mopar king. I need your opinion i have a 408 edlbrock heads 11/1 compression solid cam and i am old 63 looking to replace lifters to hyd tired of adjusting valves your thoughts?
I appreciate that. You’d definitely need to get new valve springs and possibly different length pushrods. Depending on the size of the cam, it may not be able to accept a hydraulic flat tappet lifter. That’d be a good question for Ed at Ed’s Machine”. Check out his channel if you get a chance.
No sir. If you mean the cometics, I always put the raised side towards the head. If you mean the composite, I always put the side with metal showing between the cylinders, towards the block. No issues so far.
Just barely catching this video, i found those same heads off a rolled 2000 ram 1500 4x4 stock intake and exhaust manifolds. Don't know too much about them but had them resurfaced and added new seals. How do they perform?
@JustMoparJoe nice appreciate it. I don't want to go too wild but I do wanna turn 38s and pull a 10klb trailer out of a dodge durango in building. Want to dominate the mud bogs on the weekends
They get 4 thousands tighter when its warmed up .You should make it racing again this year ! Im probably done for the year . All we use is high temp silicone on headers. Gaskets allways leak sooner or later.

It’s coming 🤫
Morning Joe that motor looks awesome can't wait to see you burning down a strip with it 😁

Valve covers and intake are awesome.
Great and useful content as always.
Thanks, EM.
Thanks buddy! I will send you a video this week if I get it lit off!
I've had great luck with Felpro gskts. Just a a tip thread a old set of spark plugs into the heads when painting. Nice build! Best of luck with it.
Thanks Terry!
Here we go again it looks nice good luck to you Joe that'll be a really strong big small block
Thanks Keith! You know I like to build them and try them!
Your exZACHly right about the paint flakes!! Always mask-up!!! Haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Engine looks GREAT !!! It should be a runner for sure, the cuda gonna scoot !! Nice catch on the intake gaskets
Thank you! I figured a helping of rtv and send it! I’d love to see a comparison between this torker 2 and my air gap at some point. Maybe next year 🤞🏻
I like your gasket making device it is good to see a multi purpose use for things.
Thanks buddy
Looks awesome!! Great video. I also had to shim my Rocker shafts a little more on one side than the other when I put mine together. Great job! Gonna make that ole Cuda haul ass for sure!, cant wait to see it goin down the track 👍

Can’t wait to see the Barracuda make some passes! Good tips on the head/valve train install.

Thanks Brother! You already know all this stuff. I’m ready to see it move out!
Second like, 11 minutes and I can share it to wake everyone up. Priceless! Good morning Just Mopar Joe.
👍🏼
I learn something new with every video! Going to order some rocker shaft shims, for my Trick Flow install. The covers cleaned up nice!
Yes sir! I appreciate them. Make it look racy with that oil pan
Nice job Joe!

Thanks for your time and the update on the motor. Great job and good day to you all
Have a good one! We may try the pumpkin patch
@@JustMoparJoe hopefully you have a great time and you can get a few for the season. Take care!
awesome build bro rock in roll time
Yes sir! Hope you’re doing well!
@@JustMoparJoe All good my brother busy workin,be safe bro and keep the videos comin
Another solid build nizzzzeee Brother!!
Thanks Bill! Hope to have that run video up by next weekend.
Awesome joe 👍
Thanks brother!
Nice work, looks great! Yeah, paint flakes in an engine isn’t good. Paint flakes, corn flakes, snowflakes…. it’s all bad!
😂😂😂you got that right!
Those aluminum exhaust gaskets if layered are awesome. We always reuse ours on the race car. Although ours are not jegs brand
Awesome! I loved the old coppers we ran on big blocks. Would y’all stack two gaskets per side?
@@JustMoparJoe just one on the aluminum . You would think they would burn out as thin as they are. But ours hasn’t.
@@gtdart970h good to know! Thank you

So this was at the Grand beginning of the Purple People Eater Barracuda Cool!
Yes sir. This same engine was in my old black truck. The difference was camshaft and head porting. Truck went 7.80’s with slapper bars on slicks.
Great video
Thanks brother!
Awesome 👍
Thanks brother!
Fel-Pro is the way
Definitely. Those intake gaskets got the standard coating of rtv 😂
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
This engine got it done last Friday at the NNN!
Also the SCE multi-layer gaskets are good for a more rougher finish than a cometic
I’ll check them out.
Uncle Tony has good videos on block prep. Did you do your you did prep wrong?
Blocks need so much prep and if you have sollid ideas. Then try it out. I helped build my first engine when l was 8.
Awe he left the feed what a badass.

Nothing wrong with the Fel Pro gaskets if that is what the second one was.

Those heads have NOT been resurfaced.
They definitely were on a large rock

love the videos. im building a 360 for my 81 cordoba. what head gaskets did you use? the engine came with a set of fel-pro 8553pt
Those are the ones. I used them again on my 408 in my barracuda. They’re a little thicker, but no issues sealing.
@@JustMoparJoe ok cool! Thanks!
Did you flip the gaskets over and try them the other way?
No sir. If you mean the cometics, I always put the raised side towards the head. If you mean the composite, I always put the side with metal showing between the cylinders, towards the block. No issues so far.
Just barely catching this video, i found those same heads off a rolled 2000 ram 1500 4x4 stock intake and exhaust manifolds. Don't know too much about them but had them resurfaced and added new seals. How do they perform?
Very well. Check out Hughes engines flow numbers on them. Much better than a stock magnum or X head
@JustMoparJoe nice appreciate it. I don't want to go too wild but I do wanna turn 38s and pull a 10klb trailer out of a dodge durango in building. Want to dominate the mud bogs on the weekends
HOW DO THESE HEADS COMPARE TO THE W2 HEADS
Definitely not in that level. These are basically copies of the magnum heads, except with pedestals for rocker shafts.
@@JustMoparJoe If you had to guess what kind of HP are you making with the 408.Cant wsit to see it on the track👍
I would think 425/ and 525 TQ. I may be wrong. I’ve never been on a dyno. Maybe I can weigh the car and check on an online calculator
They get 4 thousands tighter when its warmed up .You should make it racing again this year ! Im probably done for the year . All we use is high temp silicone on headers. Gaskets allways leak sooner or later.
I’ll do my best. Maybe early November. In Arkansas it could be anywhere from 55-95 degrees, any day of the month!
