Brings back memories. I had a 68 chevelle 396/375 bench seat 4 speed, 411 from the factory, triple 1010 tuxedo black w black vinyl roof. God I miss that car. Nothing like a big block.
My first car in 71 was a 69 396 Chevelle. I was in 10th grade. Muncie trans. 4:88.1. gears. It ran superb. I know how you feel in a quick big block chevelle!! Can't wait for your next vid!!!
Had a 68 SS 396 (fake) magazine car early 90s Even with the wrong gear (super tall) that cammed up '96 would pull hard in every gear...never needed 5th . I was impressed...its just like a bigger 383 sbc but that bore really lets it breathe
I really enjoy all of the videos that you have posted ! You mentioned that the Chevrolet has a turbo 350 transmission. I was hoping that you might give a little more info on the t-350. That's a lot of motor for a turbo 350 to handle as well as it does ! It must have some very robust parts in it ?
Mark, you are a true machinist with a passion for making power on a budget. No one has put this kind of work into videos to show the world that it’s possible with a street, pump gas, engine. Excellent workmanship Sir. You are definitely someone I would like to hang around with and learn from.
Scott Sigmon We're still out here, in Detroit low budget hot rods going quick raw horse power 289 HiPo. Our trick is in the new transmissions. Good luck in your build.
Going with the e86 for my 496 stroker kit, gonna supercharge it with who knows yet, all aluminum top end, forged core, 60. Over bore with atleast a 9:1 or 10:1 compression.. not to mention the supercharger I’m dabbling ideas for my 68 Chevy c/20

Great video mark showed what it’s all about to all the haters that talk all the crap about what you can do with this engine combination keep the great videos coming
Loved the series and mid 10's for a pump gas engine with cast heads and all his tricks with stock parts like removing weight from the balancer, head work, etc. shows you know what works CONSISTENT TIMES
You Sir, are A WIZARD. Pulling the wheels a foot off the ground on EVERY launch.........consistent 10.50 passes on pump gas in that terrible air density/humidity/altitude.........and weighing 3,720 lbs. WOW. .........And WHERE are all the hater's comments now? I guess they all took a vacation at the same time, aye?
Keep up the great work Mark, your the man! I understand the conditions weren’t ideal, and the 1-2 shift gave you fits, but that’s still pretty dam respectable.
Clean engine bay! Nice car. I see the old NHRA G/SA in the back window. My brother ran that combination for years. He sold his 68 Chevelle in favor of a 2011 Camaro. Cool video.
Car is well set up as is any decent stock eliminator build. The short times are very good for a mid 10 second ride, and the ET beats the MPH (1320/MPH=ET) Gearing well matched to the combo as well.
It is great to see the results of a known HP and weight combination.The Moroso slide rule says the e.t. is right on but MPH is several MPH slow. Easily explained by it being a fairly large car. If it was in a 88 Firebird of the same weight it would run 130 all things being equal. At those speeds aero becomes an issue.Good job!!!
Do you think its got 130mph traps in it? Acceleration rate seemed to of tapered off on the big end. Maybe get a wideband O2 sensor? Thanks for all the great content.
damn he is doing all that in those horrible weather conditions 5000 ft above sea level bring that car to Atco in new jersey where the track is 80ft above sea level but on a nice day its usually at sea level drop the gearing down to 4 30s and he ll run 10.00s all day long maybe squeeze in a 9.90 pass thats frigging awesome...
That's awesome. We have a 454 with the 781s ( they say PASS X on them)...and are planning a similar build on it for a 68 Beaumont Canadian Pontiac, which is basically a rebadged Chevelle for my boys as a fun 1/4 mile car. Your coverage on the GM ovals is great, They clearly have proven themselves. We want to take the approach you did, do the head work right and match the parts correctly. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and showing what can be done with factory iron.
Nice runs! That thing rips for the horrendous 5000 DA. I'm spoiled with 0 to 2600 DA on a bad day. The car leaves very well and I'm impressed with the 60ft. for leaving close to idle.
Nice numbers i will take that in a heart beat. Also i have a question about your 68. You are running a stock 12 bolt in the car right. I want to know what size rims and tires you are running it looks like to me they fit reel well in the wheel wells love the car and the video learned so much thanks again.
I plan to build a pump gas (premium 91/93 approx 10.25:1 with Aluminum cylinder heads) 427 (with .030-.060 overbore depending on piston availability). I'd like to run sub 11 seconds NA in a 3800lb long bed 83 silverado. Suggestions to achieve this?

Put a 200 shot on it, run faster, blow the motor, oil the track down, go out with a bang. Or, tweak it, tune it, make the whole car mor efficient and run faster on pump gas for years with the same motor and no nitrous track oil downs. For you nitrous guys....Save your time trying tell us how if you 'tune' or 'know' how to tune nitrous you can use it for years on the same motor. Forget it. I'm not going to believe you and neither is anyone else with experience because we know better. The chevelle runs great. With a little tweaking it will be running 9s in good air while your time bomb nitrous motor is blown to pieces because you thought you knew how to tune the untuneable nitrous.
What about a 100? Doesn’t sound unreasonable.... it sounds like this engine stays at same rpm for 3/4 of the track. I’d try lower gears and 💯 shot of juice in second and 3rd. 10.50 in a big ol car is impressive. Even 9.90 would be fuckin Boner on pump gas. Just bench racing here. I’ve never gone faster than 12.17. I do enjoy what mark is sharing with us.
With the right plugs, i ran a 175 shot for 5 years on the same head gaskets... Same bottom end for 8. Gotta love a small block. Ran 475 in two stages on a 454 for two years... That was 20 years ago. The car is still together, found in a barn recently. I'm trying to get it.
Mark what was the lift and duration of that cam in your 1969 Chevelle? Did you have Large Port Rectangular Heads on it? Were the head ported and CC'd? It sounded like you had a 4:11 rear end in it because my original 1970 SS 402 use to shift it at 6,500 with a Muncie M-21 with a 4:11 rear and I was taching about 6,300 at the 1/4 also. My slicks were 13x31's also.
That's impressive! At that weight, with that DA, damn! At any sea level track in nice weather, you'd be looking at scratching on the 9's! Guess I'm going to convert my 427 to a 496 on next rebuild. 😉
Right on!! Dream of using a 4 bolt 454 and doing a ratty 427...but so hard to ignore the potential of a decent 496. Torque is insane with these. Mark is the man for sure. Porting and tuning wizard Love me the high rpm of the but this vid...Im sold.
I'd dial a 6.62 1/8 on the first pass and then go down to a 61 or a 60 as the evening went on and hope I didn't sleep on the tree. That car could make some money.
Err... NO. TH350 has 2.52 1st, 1.52 2nd and 1.00 3rd. Assuming he shifts at 7000 RPM, engine RPM drops to 4222 RPM in 2nd and 4605 RPM in 3rd. From the dyno sheet in the previous video, the engine makes peak torque at 4200 RPM, and is thus perfect for his gear spreads.

I have a 427 60 over with afr 265 oval port heads it's around 10.3 to 1 compression my cam is a Howard's 235x241@50 with 618 lift on a 108 lsa. it's a hydraulic roller the motor made best dyno was 661 hp and 605 torque with a holly 950 and 32 degrees of timing I think the combo is pretty good but I'm thinking about a Lil more camshaft more duration would be a little better what's your thoughts? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Rick 427.
Wow if you had a gear swap change in the transmission don't know if you have it or not, developed for big block chevy drag and circle track by TCI the gear set spread is crucial and works just as well with small blocks in 3 speed automatic transmissions forgive me, i am not aware if you have a powerglide , th350 , th400, or manual transmission. The gearset i had in mind for you evens out the spread like a close ratio transmission and works with big block cars really well the automatic 3 speeds and also increases their load holding capability / durability. its if i remember correctly like a 2.20, 1.40, 1. to 1 ratios for tH350, then tailor your rear gear for launch or traps as usual. It cut a couple tenths at least and just over all maximizes everything and 60' the kit changes the first two gear ratios in TH400 and TH350's to even out the spread and allows more higher average high tq/hp numbers/ powerband laydown. Well don't know what ratios you have it looks great just something really i want to do in this 1981 camaro with a TH350, going with the 2.20 first , 1.40 second, 1:1 third gear set from another manufacturer i think PA has them now, TCI catalog stopped listing them. oh well just throwin somethin out there Your time and speed are awesome Great CHEVELLE.
At about 6 minutes in, the undercarriage shot... your engine is bouncing front to rear quite a bit and separate from the chassis. I'd look at your transmission mount and see if you could tighten that up, and possibly the engine mount material. But watch your headers compared to the frame rails, that engine is moving a lot, and that direction isn't from torque.
I think a lot of that is the anti-shake algorithm of the video. If you watch, the shape of the rear end cover is all distorting in impossible ways due to the effect of the smoothing process for instance.
Dustin Meier i believe this is from not having roll cage bars from the upper firewall to the front of the frame horns. My Monte Carlo is fully caged except the front bars. The entire front clip flexes up from the last body mounts on the bottom of the firewall. Since the firewall is the hinge point, when the frame and engine go up in the front the header collectors drop twice as much in the back due to the length from the hinge point. You can tell when the car lifts and the front clip and engine droop the collectors get closer to the floor boards. Car slams down and collectors drop.
from what i understood for every thousand feet increase in altitude its a 3 percent loss in power...sea level he ll more then likely run 10.00s dropping down to 4.30 gears to compinsate
He can build dyno, tune and even at the customers request drop his customers motor in his car for testing . Not many guys can offer that 10.50s is hauling azz especially at 5000da!!

something wrong with your suspension front end is going up and down you might need 90/10 front shocks.
She's jumping hard to the right.
Trans brake or foot brake
Wow if you had a gear swap change in the transmission don't know if you have it or not, developed for big block chevy drag and circle track by TCI the gear set spread is crucial and works just as well with small blocks in 3 speed automatic transmissions forgive me, i am not aware if you have a powerglide , th350 , th400, or manual transmission. The gearset i had in mind for you evens out the spread like a close ratio transmission and works with big block cars really well the automatic 3 speeds and also increases their load holding capability / durability. its if i remember correctly like a 2.20, 1.40, 1. to 1 ratios for tH350, then tailor your rear gear for launch or traps as usual. It cut a couple tenths at least and just over all maximizes everything and 60' the kit changes the first two gear ratios in TH400 and TH350's to even out the spread and allows more higher average high tq/hp numbers/ powerband laydown. Well don't know what ratios you have it looks great just something really i want to do in this 1981 camaro with a TH350, going with the 2.20 first , 1.40 second, 1:1 third gear set from another manufacturer i think PA has them now, TCI catalog stopped listing them. oh well just throwin somethin out there Your time and speed are awesome Great CHEVELLE.
He has th350 Stock 12Bolt
At about 6 minutes in, the undercarriage shot... your engine is bouncing front to rear quite a bit and separate from the chassis. I'd look at your transmission mount and see if you could tighten that up, and possibly the engine mount material.
But watch your headers compared to the frame rails, that engine is moving a lot, and that direction isn't from torque.
Correction. 5:44
Dustin Meier at 3:37 you can see it too!
I think a lot of that is the anti-shake algorithm of the video. If you watch, the shape of the rear end cover is all distorting in impossible ways due to the effect of the smoothing process for instance.
Dustin Meier i believe this is from not having roll cage bars from the upper firewall to the front of the frame horns. My Monte Carlo is fully caged except the front bars. The entire front clip flexes up from the last body mounts on the bottom of the firewall. Since the firewall is the hinge point, when the frame and engine go up in the front the header collectors drop twice as much in the back due to the length from the hinge point. You can tell when the car lifts and the front clip and engine droop the collectors get closer to the floor boards. Car slams down and collectors drop.
@port nut not sure what you mean.
What gear and rear tire size?
Just built the EXACT engine. Can’t wait to drop it in my 56 Chevy truck.
That makes sense. Cool car!
So how quick would this car be at a sea level track ??
from what i understood for every thousand feet increase in altitude its a 3 percent loss in power...sea level he ll more then likely run 10.00s dropping down to 4.30 gears to compinsate
@@TheBob455 Hellcat killer NA and all day, Love it!
You like that gas cool can. Iv got one I'm debating putting it on.
When you get anything in the 10s your moving and, I like the car you put it in it's a cool old Chevy hot rod!!! 😎
He can build dyno, tune and even at the customers request drop his customers motor in his car for testing .
Not many guys can offer that 10.50s is hauling azz especially at 5000da!!
Nice car
I feel like front tires were not making contact whole run hehe
