454 Engine Swap: Installing Big Block Engine and Supercharger (78 Firebird Ep.36)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- Now that the old engine is out of the car, we should have plenty of space for the Big Block Chevy 454 we have been rebuilding! It may not be quite as easy as dropping it into the engine bay, but we will make it happen one way or another. Then, we will get our rebuilt B&M 250 supercharger installed along with the carburetors and engine accessories.
Also, I forgot to include the part number in the video itself, but the power steering pump hardware set was "OER Power Steering Pump Stud and Bolt Kits 1253573"
Timeline of filming: December 31st, 2020 - January 30th, 2021
Song List (Order of First Appearance):
00:01 Not Impossible - The 126ers
05:45 All Hail the Queen - Dan Lebowitz
08:09 Mysteries - Dan Lebowitz
12:13 Who Can Say - The 126ers
18:18 Dream Land - The 126ers

It has been four months since the last upload, so first off I need to apologize for the radio silence and thank those of you who reached out with care and concern. All is well, in fact it has been a car project that has been taking up almost all of my time. I was convinced I could get it done by July... then August... and it is still in pieces all over the garage and house. I've been struggling, for years now, to find a balance between these projects, the videos covering them, and every other aspect of life. Obviously I am still working on that balance, but I'm hoping that changing the way videos go together will help in the future. I may not be fast (same goes for my cars), but videos will keep on coming and the encouragement and support from all of you means the world and makes the work entirely worth it! Thank you all!
I almost commented someplace to check whether everything's alright 😅
this is easily one of my absolute favorite channels. right up there with Junkyard Digs. glad to hear everything's okay, take care of yourself and don't worry about the gap between content. we can patiently wait for you to release content that you're proud of and enjoy making.
Don't over work yourself to the point you no longer enjoy it. Please make sure you focus on your mental health. I and I am sure everyone else, are more than happy to wait and follow along. Thank you for putting these out :)
Always great to see a new video! Work/life/project balance is a must
No need for apologies, always a pleasure when a new video drops, but never let it bother you that it takes a long time. Make sure you come first homie.
What makes your videos so great is that you show the real world, down to earth realitys of car building. A lot of these car builder shows really do this hobby a great disservice and make most people think that everything is plug and play, super easy, take it out of box, bolt it on and go but like your videos show, pretty much every component will have to be modified to some extent. It's what makes this hobby so rewarding at the end, getting to see all those hard spent hours of work to finally pay off.
I believe the biggest difference is that this channel is made by mechanics\for mechanics, not showmen who never had to wash grease from their palms.
This 100%
I also appreciate how he does everything in his power to make sure it's done right; he doesn't just cobble a project together just to push out another video.
Thats how it was swapping the V6 out of my 86 c10 to a SBC then to a BBC. not as bad, but it was not as plug and play.
Literally stopped everything I was doing to watch this. What a glorious day to see another video from FDP
Just wanna say your channel is probably the single channel I enjoy the most. I enjoy your commentary and your detailed videos. Keep it up!
Always a good day when you post a video! Engine looks amazing can't wait to hear it run
The oyster packaging. Perfect.
I'm starting to feel like an OG just for being here when the 454 build started!
(...he said while ignoring his own channel. 😅)
Oh wow, I remember this car when the first episodes were released and forgot it. 36 episodes now, I don't even know I can manage to stay up to date now lol
I'm super glad we're still here to get some good work done.
If you want a gasket that won't leak, Remflex header gaskets will do the trick. Well worth the minor extra cost.
Man. I thought I was seeing things, but nope, its a new FD upload! Woooooo!
I never clicked on a notification so fast! Glad to see a update.
Life happens and sometimes we take on too much. There’s the goals we want to reach, then life can be a gut punch. Never stop. Just keep going and doing and before ya realize, you’ll be done. Don’t forget it’s the joy of getting there, not being there, yet.
At last a new update!
It's always a kick in the pants when you've built yourself the perfect solution then have to tear it all down to build a new perfect solution. But it looks like you got there in the end... right? There won't be any more problems at all. All smooth sailing with that engine!
I never care about the wait when your videos are such high quality. You're one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Hope to see many more videos from you, no matter how long they take.
0:45 - Now I know what to do next time I have packaging like that. XD
ohhhh man For chevy, the 454 is my favorite engine. For Ford, 351 Cleveland. For Dodge, Any Hemi. So yeah, really glad to see this build. So jealous.
FYI, blowers do not need a breather, only pressure relief valve. It is cause when on boost the pressure goes also to the front cover so there is equal pressure on both sides and the boost can't enter atmosphere thru the breather and also the pressure in the front cover helps the seals keep the oil at front cover. Just sometimes when the car is not used for longer times use the pressure relief valve to release the pressure
FDP don’t worry about timely updates. Enjoy your project and upload when you can. We’ll be here.
I'd like to see it Dyno see what kind of power are you getting
My unmet car friend, it has been A long road to here and I am excited to see all of the solutions you come up with. I am most excited to see and hear it run as well. I have not forgotten all of the armchair engine builders telling you that your work on this engine was in vain and it would never run right. I being a retired automotive machinist chimed in to "educate" these in the ways of the real world. The events that take place in a real world engine shop. I am very confident this will run just fine but I am excited to have it happen in real time. Cheers!! here is to a successful build.
Yay! I've been hoping for a new episode and here we are!
Finally! Welcome back dude 🎉
It made my day when I saw that post notification!
Wish you posted more often. Good channel.
Been missing your videos. Glad to see you're still around
I let out a “woo!” when I saw this
At the end of the day, it is a journey. And it’s quite comforting to see that some things won’t go as planned, taking up more time, but get done nonetheless. One day I t will be finished. And it will be your own, customized, one of a kind Firebird. Glad you’re still on it and haven’t thrown in the towel!
I spit out my water when you had the writing on the caliper when you were measuring the spacers. Oh my goodness the attention to detail you put into these videos is amazing. Keep up the amazing work!
One of the best series on the plotform, dying for an update!
I've been waiting so long for this 😂
FUZZY DICE UPLOAD! love these videos man really satisfying to watch cant wait to see it run!
Oh my goodness I’m so glad you’re alright. I was getting worried something happened to you. As long as you are okay that’s what matters to me
I finally checked back in to see how things were going with the project, and I was delighted to see this video. I'm glad to see it coming together. I'm excited for the next video.
I'm glad to see you got a lathe. every time I watched you make a spacer, I thought to myself, that's what you needed. I have a lathe and a mill and don't know how I would get by without one sometimes.
don't be too hard on yourself. I totally understand how hard it can be to balance certain things in life. A guy can only do what he can do. I think naturally, there are times we hold ourselves to a higher standard than is realistic.
Always amazing videos. I started filming a bit of my own work after watching yours for years, and I can hardly imangine the hours you must spend pouring over video files, making a script, and editing it all together to tell a story. Great job!
Cannot wait for the Pinto ep
Very satisfying to see a blister pack shown who is boss.
I put a 454 in a 79 Firebird back in 2017 and it’s hilarious watching this because it is all the exact fitment issues me and my buddies ran into
Well it took a few days, but TH-cam finally recommended this video to me. Keep doing you, man, can't wait to see the first start and hopefully first drive!
I just got into a nasty fight with my girlfriend of two years and I genuinely think the relationship is over. I was having a panic attack and I found this and lord knows how much it helped I love your car and your work tbh I hope the car never gets done so I can keep watching it change. Thank you
You're not dead, awesome.
You're one of the very few channels that gets the honour of having the bell icon clicked becasue I cannot be misssing an upload! Can't wait to see it running!
AN EPISODE WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!
Finally a new episode!!!! Been waiting for months!!! Thank you kind Sir for posting.. I really do enjoy watching your videos.
I was thinking about you today when I was fishing and wondering when new episode will come up. Greetings from Poland :)
Happy to see a new video!
HEEEEEEES FINALLYYY BACCKKK!!! MY LIFE IS FINALLY BACK TO NORMAL
Ahh!! Been waiting!! Finaly! Allways a plessure!❤
Loving your videos, and cant wait for next episode to be out but i will say that the engine looks really beautiful and with that supercharger it all ties together.
So happy to see you bought a lathe! it hurts watching you fabricate hole and spacers without one.
New video and a Rob appearance! We love to see it. Also that shot with the lift going up was cool. But heyyy man why you gotta diss Craigslist like that... I got my Honda off of Craigslist and nothing has ever gone wrong with it ever
Good to have you back!
Always a good day when FDP uploads, good to hear from you again
Letttsssss goooooooo new fuzzy dice video
You could get a idler pulley off a different vehicle to hold the belt down so it don't hit bracket for the idler for the supercharger belt😮
It certainly demonstrates just how much work shooting and editing really is when we're watching content today that was filmed almost three years ago!
It's comeing together. Nice work!
Welcome back! I've been waiting patiently and excitedly for the next episode in this series!
Well this looks like a good time
Always a great day when I see you upload! Can't wait to hear the engine fire up!
I've been watching himg this channel since he started his journey with the sbc blaze! I've watched every single episode of this build and I can say right now I still get excited when I see a new episode
Can't wait for the next video
Cant wait to hear it fire up
I’m extremely excited for each one of your projects updates. This car in particular is literally exactly what I would want to build one day, once I can afford it. Same engine and everything. So keep up the good work I love it!!
I really like the build and I can remember the frustration of trying to get engines with headers into the engine bay with the transmission still in the car. I just wanted to remind you to check how much you moved the torque converter to mate with the fly wheel. There is a limit to how far you want to pull it out of the transmission depending on the tranny, otherwise, you want to add washers between the torque converter and flywheel. I can't really tell from the angle of the video how much it moved and I am not sure of the transmission either.
Rewatched some videos just yesterday, wondering when the next one is coming. Thanks for the upload! :)
Looks great!
He’s back. Hell yeah brother. 🤘🏻
WE’RE SO FUCKING BACK
I was just looking at the yt page today and was wondering where you were at and I'm so stoked to see that a video is out! Thank you for your effort and I hope you're doing alright
THE KING RETURNS! So happy to see this!
that a looker
Don't forget about brakes new found Torque need a way stop
But you've changed the look of her for sure
Dude, watching this is so enjoyable. What a build! Everythings so thought through! Crazy cool this project!
I have been biting my nails waiting for this.
I show up on your channel page all the time checking for a new video. I'm so glad to see this one up! Thanks for making content!
You're certainly in my top five favorite channels to see a new upload from! Thanks for the great content and great work on this project so far. Can't wait to hear it running
NICE! a new video from FDP.
Can’t wait to hear it fire up! Those headers will make a great sound
Holy Cow! It's coming together. Man I've been following this channel for a long time and I can see all the footwork you've done in preparation of this moment! Keep up the great work and you know I'll stay tuned>
Thanks for the upload Mike
You are back 😊
So excited to see the engine going in! Cool to think that all this happened before the Pinto adventure. Thanks for humorously sharing solutions to the unpredictable frustrations we all face.
my only complaint is you dont make videos more often, they're always a great watch! thank you
my face lit up when i saw the youtube notification that you posted
Great video. This one was a long time coming according to the dates on some of the clips. Can't wait to see that left front come off the ground on some shakey back road.
I am so f-ing happy to see this upload. I was craving those fuzzy dices for a while!
The video series you did last summer, was one of my favorite of all time. I would pay/donate money to see you do another one of those next summer. Or even better yet, this winter!!! A winter version would be very cool. Keep up the great work!
I love this guy been here for years
You keep making all these brackets, we're going to think you're secretly Nik Blackhurst from Project Binky. 😂
we miss you man! glad to hear you are doing well! can't wait to see the next one
I love how long this build takes. You show that you're just like the rest of us
I love this Series an ad of today is 2 weeks since I Beng watched this to play catch to watch it all
Not a full minute in and I’m laughing my ass off! That packaging is evil!
Celebrate with an ice cream cone on me. Thank You 😊
Another top quality video - thanks man i love these
New episode!!!!
It's been 4 months but I always make time to watch these love the content if and when you get time to edit and upload
Keep up the good work 😊
Glad to see you back.
