- This video is of my first actual attempt to start my freshly built 1972 Z-28 Camaro Pro Street w/ 496 stroker motor topped with 8-71 Weiand Supercharger.
Anyone could build this type of American muscle if you set your mind to it.
For those of you that would like to pick apart my work Here is a brief Biography on me: I'm married ( Married 14 yrs sept 2016 w/ 3 children), and own two homes. I would like you to know that I built this without ever using a credit card. (that has always been my number one rule: If I can't use a debit card then I probably can't afford it.) I started building my first supercharged 1967 Camaro within a year after buying my first house at age 20 which I completed by age 24. Then started building my 72 Camaro which I completed by age 26. Each time I build a car it becomes better then the previous car so there is a very large learning curve. To own a car this bad ass without being a penny in debt for it is a huge accomplishment. Obviously everything is not perfect but I have plenty of time to work at it. Plus if everything was perfect I wouldn't have anything to tinker with and that would be no fun.
After a year or so of posting that I was going to build bad ass 496 CID stroker motor I have finally finished my steroid machine and here is the stressful moment of truth, I have to be honest I was scared. lol

CONGRATULATIONS, looks/sounds like a fun time!!!
You sure do got a one hell of a ride sir!!
Wow that is a nice ride!!!!!
Your car is FREAKING SICK!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!
Nice build. Congrat's!
Very nice car and build!
The moster has awoke, its hungry, so it wants to hunt. Run for the hills, run for your life. 😅❤
That's awesome good job and that beautiful ride
Sweet ass ride!!! You’ve read my mind
Similar to my camaro build, well done
Dam I love split bumpers but this is over kill ..which makes me love it even more ..can't wit till my 68 nova is done
Very cool. Like the oval port roots intake.
One thing though. Perhaps swap those gold rockers for a set of Crower Stainless steel rockers. Those might cost you as much as .035-.050 lift due to deflection. Also if you're not, use the absolute thickest pushrod walls you can find. Weight is not an issue for that combination, flex is. Never the less, very cool first build for sure.
Nice build... Love the dashboard! Very fine example of free-market horsepower! Outstanding!
You're my hero beautiful car.
timberlan thank you It is a fun one.
Nice build. There's always little issues that you don't find until you run it. I'm sure they have been all worked out in time. Enjoy!
Can't wait until mine is all setup and good to go.
It’s 1 in the morning and I keep jumping between Muscle Car videos and Sammy Gravano interviews lol. I should just go to sleep. But TH-cam is too lit!!!!
Sorry man but I’m envious. This car is sick. With all these cars being converted to pro touring cars, it’s nice to see a good ole muscle car. Beautiful car!
Nice ride I had a 73 love the look of those camaros, that's a beast big blocks are my favorite! my neighbour has a 68 with a 383 stroker with a 671 runs like a rocket can't imagine the power of that beast!! I had the opportunity to drive it. and it was this old man's dream! come true! only wish it was mine. good luck stay safe and drive hard..
Yes I love the look 👀 I also have a 68 SS with the 327 and I have done modified the engine and m-22 transmission. It is a screamer and will be tested on the rack soon. I’m guessing it will be in the 450 hp range and 400 torque. I have a few videos of that Car posted and I’ll be posting a video of the Dyno test soon.
TweekerDan1984. cool can't wait to see it..
Bad ass car and i must say this is my dream car
Love your story ..your doing it right!
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to check out my channel.
Very nice...freaking man's engine. This thing probably runs on Priuses.
Beautiful!
Donald Carroll I'd bet your GTP starts a little more smoothly. ;-)
your damn right I know one of it owners and its got a shit ton of power
awesome biuld
I like your attitude sir !!! ... I've noticed some of the comments heir on the side of sarcasm, But your persistence shows in your responses and your work shows your attentiveness and great work ethic....I didn't see anything "Hatchet-job" about this video, But you are now facing a slight problem ....You gotta out-do yourself on the next project😁😁😁👍👍👌👌👌
Thanks a bunch for the positive vibes!!!
Nice car buddy looking good
Sweet build! Wrap those headers!
Awesome !
Nice one!😎😀
I thought we was gonna go for a ride! Well damn
Sick!!!
Awesome 👏🏽
Nice !!!
so cool and i thought when i installed my tunnel ram on my 69 firebird was cool,
one day i will do the same, cool car and video....Tim (subscribed)
I had to make a new comment 5 years later and I'm about 75 percent complete on my dyers 6_71 blower install on my 69 firebird which is all Pontiac but due to the covid the project has been on hold but this Year she will be running
Love your car! Nicely done
Thank you.
@@TweekerDan1984 You bet! Do you have some cruising videos by chance?
Propper amount of vulgarity how you display power mate.Love it,would also love to see her leave a long set of rubber snakes on the runway.Thumbs up brotha!
Sucker looks good, and sounds good! Always make sure you set your timing once you get the motor to reach the lower idle first.
Nice Camaro. I'm thinking of painting 72 flat black as well.
THAT'S ONE BAD ASS SPLIT BUMPER!!!🔧🔩🔧
I Love it nice
+Mark H thank you;)
I tried header wrap and pull boots. My big block always had plug wire issues.
Im a mopar fan but this is a sweet ride
Same here Love the Mopars but would be proud to plant the foot and make some smoke very nice work sir
Cool car, love that you paid for it without using a debit card.
+Lance J Thank you a bunch Lance. With time I’ve gained some addition knowledge and skill. I built another car 3 years ago and did the same thing.
You need a Ron Davis Radiator to keep that monster cool, they build to order so it takes 2-3 months but it's worth it.
Now thats a real fuel system, not like all that "mu mu mu injectors are running lean", LMAO
That's badass dude. Can we see it moving, please?
Just asking for a friend.
Beautiful work...80% of these people here couldnt ever build a machine like this.
BMoreCareful 666 Thank you, the comment actually means a lot. I put a lot of work into my two blower cars and through the years I have found ways to make them so much better. My current 1968 camaro is a true beauty if you want to check it out.
any details u can share on carb jetting on this beast.
what is the lsa on the cam..??
Chop chop,,!!
GREAT job on the build dude!👏👍👍👍your 26? impressive👍👌✌️
Isn't the smoke an issue while its idling? Whats leaking causing the smoke? Very beautiful but a work in progress i assume. Ah didn't see its the first start :P What would happen if you were in say the rain? Would it enter the motor through the blower?
Just curious, but where are the hoses from your valve covers routed to?
Is it a system that goes to breather tanks and then back to the oil pan, or just to catch cans?
They are actually routed to special ports welded on the exhaust to increase the ventilation.
That 1972 split bumper was one of the better years but the 1968 1969 z28 were in my opinion the best year the 69 z28 was a bad car off the showroom floor 302 v8 202 fueley aluminumheads m21 4speed positive that was one bad ass stock car I miss the one I had WIFW and raising grandkids stopped that fun try again later I recon
ooh water too hot. but awesome.
Thank you, It is a fun Car. I plan to build another but not sure what make and model I will go with this time.
surprised you ran such small headers. think they go up to 2 1/4 to 4" collectors
you need to keep your distributor alittle tighter
Fucking bad ass.
what are the lines coming out of the valve covers for? Sorry if it's a stupid question
They allow for crankcase ventilation, relieving the pressure on this style build can be very beneficial. The lines actually lead into the exhaust allowing the pressure of the exhaust to pull air from the engine.
By the way, definitely is not a stupid question. I learn new things all the time by asking questions.
Could you please tell me where you got the belt guard for your Weiand blower. Thank you
His cat built it.
Big als toybox for that belt guard
Beautiful car. Is the blower belt supposed to have that much slack or was that the camera making it look like there was? This is a real question and not sarcasm lol
bigtonka82 it is not meant to be that loose, it was adjusted after the timing was set, then we started braking in the engine and Cam.
Ok, thank you.
I have mine quite loose, it tightens up when it gets hot though. :) nice car..@@TweekerDan1984
That's a ton of boost at 1500 rpms you must have the pulleys set up to be well over driven was really waiting to hear it surge
It has 10lbs vacuum lol
Maaad belt slapping, whine is really high for idle( too much boost?) Can't wait to see some videos of your ET and Dyno pulls, if you promise to do that, I'll subscribe.
was that music i heard??? no, it's a big block 👍
Nice motor man,bitchen sound. Love the blower whine. But I would put a full bumper on a non rally sport, just my opinion.
Thank you, a lot of improvements have been made:)
Oh yah better looking then a woman. love d engine and yah and d Camero sweet
Where you buy that supercharger?
@Gabriel Murdock Summit Racing👍
Can a 871 blower be used on a sbc
Not that I’m aware of, you would be looking at the 6-71.
Good job bro that's a bad bitch
The front of the car seems to be of a 1970 Camaro not a 72?
Good eye! That is correct:) I would not cut up a true 1970 that was in decent original condition.
Mash on it like I do mine!
how many feet per gallon?
N. I. I literally almost was taking a drink of water while reading your comment and snorted water while laughing so hard. Thanks for the laugh...but it’s about 21,000 feet per gallon (4 Miles) unless your riding with a heavy foot. Hehehe 😏
sorry about that :) Great looking/sounding Camaro.
N. 2. Who cares.....pree darn nice
Do yourself a favor and change the alternator long arm adj bracket for a stronger mounting bracket and that belt will quit howling.
I purchased one of the billet specialties solid aluminum brackets and it is a huge upgrade.
I have a 70 camaro, I just put a blower on it, I am having trouble finding and alternator bracket to run on the passenger side. Where did you get yours, and would you have a part number? Are you still running on the passenger side?
Hello there, I purchased my brackets from summit racing. March and billet specialties have some really solid brackets. If you go into summit racing’s website they have the option to enter your engine specs and choose a bracket that will best fit your needs. I have the alternator on the passenger side on this 72 Camaro with the 8-71 blower and on my 67 with a 6-71 blower I have the alternator on the driver side.
i was wondering what kind of power steering bracket you used. I bought one online, came with 2 l brackets and a couple spacers, went to put it on, and pump hits steering box. wondering what power steering pump and bracket /pulley you used...thanks
Somehow I missed your comment, if you send me your email I’ll send you some photos of whatever you would like to see in the engine compartment.
How much money did it take to mod that engine?
That is tough one, I have the receipts but I would say $25-$30k
You can cut that cost in half by finding used good parts.
EARGASM.
Dude! Love the car! My comment isn't picking I promise. But your pan or something looks like it's smoking more than a Sunday bbq. Did you figure out what was causing it?
A lot of the smoke was to be expected as the majority of the smoke was from oils on the new parts and the oil on the exhaust that was burning off. There was also a rubber Taylor tag on one of the plug wires that was touching the exhaust and after relocating the tag all was well and after this initial start up things cleared up smoothly.
@SinjinTaijeKhan Also I would like to add that I’ve completed a few builds on different toys since this car was put on the road and I’ve gained a-lot of knowledge and experience for improvement. I like to think of it as leveling up. 👍🏼 This was a fun build and being only my second build and having it hold up so well has been quite the accomplishment. I remember imagining before ever attempting to fire this car up that this car wasn’t going to start or that the motor would blow immediately.
Now i have to hate you! Cuz i don't have one. Lol
My dude, I am 100% a Honda guy for life, but I have always loved split bumper Camaros, and massive blowers. I was doing a Google search for "Weiand blower sticking out of hood" and to my delight your Camaro was one of the first results. I love this stuff. The fact that you built it yourself, in a garage, without charging it all, and maintaining a car/family life balance is awesome. As a husband, father, home owner, and car guy I can totally relate and appreciate all of this.
If you have any interest at all in seeing a roots style blower on a modern Honda feel free to check out a few of my videos - obviously nowhere near the power levels of yours, but some muscle car guys still like seeing a 2.0L engine with a 1.0L blower revving to 8600rpm and making 300whp in a 2300lb. car.
th-cam.com/video/xMNOLJFDnrk/w-d-xo.html
I will check it out. Thank you
Oh my, that is pretty amazing! Did you create the videos? I hope to make it to that level sometime.
@@TweekerDan1984 oh no no, I did not make the video. That's a famous TH-camr named David Patterson, or "That Dude in Blue." Creating content for TH-cam is one of his main jobs, and he also owns a car care company that offers cleaning products.
Any time I try to make a video? It's terrible. :D
i feel bad for your alternator setup. Them things blow. Powermaster makes a nice drag setup for the bbc
Bad. Ass. Subbd!
Sounds like vac leek
0:18 Is she supposed to steam like that?
It was the first start so the oils are burning off.
This thing ever make it to the track?
Yes, it has made low 10s but was consistent at high 10s/low 11s.
The new car has made 9s. I’ll be posting videos of that one 👍
@@TweekerDan1984 new car? I really liked the one in this video. Still have it?
I do not, and it was my favorite build. It was a mean machine. I told everyone that the 72 Camaro in this video was not for sale but someone made me a cash offer that I couldn’t refuse.
I will build another 1970s z28, and it will be better this time around.
Running it for so long with no oil pressure......oh man
Hello how is it driving around town?
It is an attention getter but besides that It always has to sit for a bit once I shut it down even when fueling up. On another note I just purchased another car that I will be sharing soon.
He looks like vin diesel
Is driving like this with a hood legal?
Gilbert Duran should be illegal to cover it up!
No no no I mean if you drive like this with a hood on and a hole for the engine to fit in. I think it's illegal because the engine limits the amount of space you have to see when you're driving.
By the way, I didn't know it was illegal to drive with a hood on when you have a blower engine on your car.
Concrete Outcry Thanks anyway though!!!!
It might vary in differant places but I stopped a cop one time in my '77 Trans-Am and asked if mine was ok or not. He said as long as when you are sitting in the drivers seat you can see the front corner of the passengers side fender then you are ok
Gilbert Duran some states u dont have to have a hood, fenders, bumpers or even doors... As long as ur lights and turn signals work.
Just like a Chevy wine it's ass off and don't want to run for hell
Tires are a bit on the overkill side. :/
Definitely overkill but one of my favorite aspects of the car 😊
Belt not on the assembly properly you for that blower should be on the opposing side of that tensioner on that Camaro
Thank you for the input but this particular tensioner can go on either side depending on what is needed for the build.
The only bad part about putting it the way you have it is it tears up the teeth on the belt
8 years and going strong 💪🏼
Nice what is your rear wheel horsepower on that have a 64 El Camino with my 496 in it and I'm pushing just under 850 naturally aspirated
Thumper Relics 850 n/a 🤔 You must have 15:1 compression
You need some serious heat shields
Bad ass Camaro. Big block Chevy headers for the Camaro suck for plug wires!!!!!!! Check my channel for my blown big-block Camaro and keep up the good work.👍
Will do!
Yank the carbs and get fuel injection. That this is just too tall. It would be slot cleaner looking. Just my opinion . Still cool though.
I may go injected on my next build. I really am a fan of the big old school blowers. I like the high stack appeal.
Jeff Stewart about yanking those pink graffics on your pink neon?
You bought the wrong fuel pressure gauge, chief. The one you have is for fuel injection.
That is correct, good eye 👍 I only installed that gauge because it came with the supercharger and I didn’t get around to replacing it until after this video. I was able to still read the gauge so it worked for me temporarily.
I'm some what taken back scratching my head when I see a Blower Car topped off with a Cheesy cheap Cal-Custom Faux injector hat especially when the HilBorn type is without question the go too hat for Carberatored Blower car's . So it might have been a Fathers day gift from the wife Or kids who knows I like to think it was rather then Some Obviously confused wannabee Motorhead actually purchased it for himself...
I actually agree and in fact own both style scoops, I started with the nice and clean Weiand Hilborn style air scoop. I happen to like the butterfly look more and I actually only started to build blower cars after watching the first Fast and Furious many moons ago. Something about the butterfly’s opening and closing makes me smile. In my opinion it looks good both ways but the Hilborn or weiand brand scoop are much better quality then any butterfly scoop that I’ve come across off summit racing.
C'mon man, pop it open!
I’ll open one of the pro street cars and post a video for you 👍
All that oil leaking and smoking that rides ready to blow a gasket
Mr. Smith header paint and aluminum polish it’s normal for fresh builds
needed a rad shroud other wise fans wont do anything
Murkskees those little electric fans have a built on shroud
Christ sakes!
ohhellnoyoudidnt Your comment made me smile, the car has come a long way!
All that time and money and did not coat the headers?
I did use super comp hooker headers on my 67 454 blown Camaro.
I started the builds very young and made a point to never use a credit card to buy parts. Thanks for checking out my page 👍Check out my bio
Yeah anyone with Time and Money can do it..
9:44 ... i guess he cant chop videos XD
