It's the moment we've all been waiting for! We're finally throwing the big block OBS Chevy 454ss back on the dyno! You saw us install all of our RPM Power Package parts that we got from JEGs. You watched us get our QA1 suspension installed and our Sniper EFI system set up. The only thing left to do is rip it now... right?
Well, we thought so too! But unfortunately, this truck had some other plans. On our first test drive of our newly cammed 454 shop truck we absolutely smoked the rear diff. It may have had something to do with that fact that someone forgot to put any fluid in it (we're not going to name any names). But instead of making mountains out of molehills, we decided to use this as an opportunity to upgrade our rear end to a beefier Eaton True Track set up. So while we waited for our new differential to come, it was the perfect opportunity to work on some cosmetic details of this truck.
We brought Brian from Poppy's Patina all the way out from Oklahoma to help us spray some bed liner down in the back of this truck. And while we had it all disassembled, he suggested to throw a thick coat of some Poppy's urethane clear coating to help preserve the rustic spirit of this truck for years to come. We even went the extra step and had Cassio from Boca Cermaic Coating come out and polish the truck to really make her shine!
By the time the buffing and shining was being wrapped up Andrew had our rear end all reassembled and we could head to Blow By Racing and hit the dyno! We made some awesome numbers with this little slug of an OBS shop truck, and we were so excited that we... well... you'll see!

Awesome truck! Those 454 trucks look killer in the original black, would love to see it painted back original.
Maybe further down the road we'll give her a full paint job. But for now, we're going to enjoy her a little rusty and crusty!
@@SalvagetoSavage Right on! keep putting out great videos!
That truck deserves a really nice paint job to pay homage to the original 454SS style.
I love ur thinking, but it is undeniable, but that patina looks incredible 😍 👌
Not with these guys, they still think rust and damage is art. They change everything under the skin 100% non original but talk about original paint being part of the value and 90% of their builds rollout looking like junkyard trash. I really hate the patina look except when used to preserve actual artwork and not just random rust. But each his own I guess and their interior, engine and fab work is awesome.
You know that won’t happen
@@scottjackson1636 I’m not big on the rust look either. They do really awesome work. I’ve grown up rebuilding cars and doing restorations I’m my grandfathers shop so I’ve seen and done so much as well as custom work so I know what it takes to do what they do. I give them mad props for that and my favorite build is the Orange Twin Turbo SS Chevelle. I would have built that 454 out completely, bore, stroke big cam and so on. I’d have thrown a pro charger on it as well. I love turbos but I’d want to keep that 454 exhaust note. Full paint job and would have found a really cool way to add the original graphics back on with paint but with a slight modern touch. I’d also look at adding a nice body and ground effects kit to give it that gmc cyclone look.
@@gardosh37 I’m really not a patina person and never have been. I’d rather make it either look 100% original or do something custom.
Should’ve done the bed liner in a matching red!
That would've been sick!
Absolutely beautiful truck! Love the fact that you guys had the balls to keep it OG with the patina look. The Original Truck from Hell is actually one of my dream cars. Gotta let the people know if you guys ever want to find it a nice home. Regardless, love everything about the channel and this truck series made a lifelong fan out of me. Thanks for the content. Enjoyed the hell out of it.
Everything we build is always for sale when it’s 100%, so let us know
Love the way that truck looks, especially the roof & hood, it's like 90s patina. Great job guys!
That "new wave" patina!
I was 16, brand new drivers license, and I worked at the local Chevrolet dealership. I took the brand new 454SS out of the showroom, and the boss’s 15 yr old son down to Sonic for lunch. We got chewed out, but not fired. Always loved this truck!
Rule #1 when doing something you should be doing at work: Always have the boss's son with you! lol Glad this build could take you on a trip down memory lane. Thanks so much for watching!
13:23 this is what I love about channels like this and their community - always learning about new products and companies to find what you need!
We love being able to bring our friends in to show off what they do! I think that's what makes building these cars fun. Being able to surround yourself with people who are just as passionate about these vehicles, but it slightly different ways!
I replaced my welded diff with a TrueTrac this year, it's great. Feels stock on the street, locks like a spool at the track. I lubricated mine, though :P
Our TrueTrac is going to stay well lubricated this time! We made sure of that! lol
First the diff was empty (Not the worst that could happen), tuned to neary 400hp, then snap an OE (?) driveshaft...."Could've been worse" as the saying goes! Amazing transformation of a classic Chevy. Love the work! Eagerly waiting for more Chevelle videos 😁
We're getting on the chevelle as fast as possible to get y'all some more content! And it could definitely always be worse! It's an easy fix to get the truck back on the road!
Whoops, 390 I’d be happy with that.
If we get the change we'll try throwing it back on the dyno in some better conditions too to see if we can squeeze some better numbers out of the tuning when it isn't a humid 90+ degrees!
Killer truck , love what yall did 2 the 454 , 2 bad about the dead drive shaft
We'll be back on the road in no time! Just a minor set back!
I built a 98 C1500 over the winter. I put a 6.0 LS in it then put a turbo on it. I am running a manual transmission behind it. I was thinking that I should put a driveshaft loop on it but haven't yet. After watching this, I think that maybe I better hurry up the loop or loops
It's better safe than sorry!
Glad to see someone else goof up on a build. I once put a rag in the intake of my rebuilt 383 to keep any dirt from getting in the intake while I dropped the engine in. I put the carb on and forgot about the rag. It bent quite a few valves when i started the engine up. You live and learn.
It's what makes the journey exciting! No one likes hearing a story about a test drive that went perfectly smooth. But that one time you were don't a super simple build and didn't fill the diff with fluid? That makes a good story for a part! lol
Great job fellas!
Thank you!!
Truck looks great! Tough break on the diff but at least it the shop truck and not a customers.
I think that's what caused a part of the problem. This truck is the project we kept bouncing back to when we weren't working on customer cars. So someone probably put the cover on, got pulled onto a different project, and never came back to fill it out!
I have owned a few 454SS trucks and they are still one of my favorite GM trucks. I love what you are doing with yours. Looks awesome so far.
Thank you so much! We're stoked you like the build. They're definitely fun little trucks and we're really starting to see why so many people are obsessed with them!
Well done boys
Love that ute
Massive improvement
Great job
Every build has teething issues but it’s a testimate to you boys how you have a problem arise and just move onto the fix. It’s just the nature of building modified cars. Awsome. 👍👍👍👍
It's part of the fun of it! All the problems and all the lows make the highs seem that much better! Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. It means a ton to us here!
Only thing I would change is the name on the pink slip!!
Love what you have done to this SS . Thanks Mike and Andrew! As for the rear axle lube , that falls under “sh!t happens” category. I’ve only done that once and learned to double check!
And that's the one thing that we're not going to change any time soon! lol Thanks for all the support! And you're 100% right. We can't be older and wiser if we weren't younger and dumber!
Much respect for sharing the fails with the wins. Tough mistake to own gracefully and you all did it.
Thanks Rob, we try to keep it as real as possible. Building custom vehicles isn’t always easy and I think people get frustrated so we hope to show them everyone fails and it takes those failures to learn
Trucks perfect it has a lot of character 😊
Definitely!
I can watch you guys all day!! 😍😍
I would like to have seen it repainted black but that’s okay, everyone has their own preferences.
If you remember right the hot ticket was to relocate the tailgate handle, but that was the ‘90s. 😂
Nice truck!
If it ain’t one thing it’s another, well……it hooks up hard 👍🏼 Great job at S2S y’all the kings!
Thanks so much for the love! It's nothing major that's going to keep this baby down too long. She'll be back stronger than ever!
Corona is the same as drinking Budlight.🤣😂🤣.
Super bad ass build fellas.
Hey guys, i see a win in those mishaps. Just learn and keep pushing forward. O como decimos en Puerto Rico " pa'lante, pa'tras ni cojer impulso ". Love ur channel guys. ❤
Thanks so much for the support! Every step back is a chance to learn!
Love y’all’s work. Wish ya would have painted the truck original black.
Thanks so much! It can always be sanded down and repainted. But we'll only be able to enjoy this truck in its true, aged state right now. So we're gonna rock it like this, at least for a little!
After doing all that beautiful work from ground up, you’d think these guys would learn (after all their decades of experience) to subdue their impatience and create generic checklists to perform before first start and first drive. Basic QA to save so much money.
Very true and not wrong whatsoever. What so don’t understand is we have alot going on here. Many builds, customers, CZcams, marketing, dealing with companies, ordering parts etc….. most companies wouldn’t think about doing what we do in a week let alone a month. We need to slow down for sure
never fails, we make plans (to do burnouts and drive the truck this weekend) and God laughs at my plans. so he takes my driveshaft away lol
Us: We're just going to close this one out with a quick burnout!
God: How about 2 more 454ss episodes? lol
I gotta hand it too you guys for putting in the work and showing your failures as well as your successes. The paint finish isn’t what I would have chosen for the truck but like you said in previous replies; it’s all about diversity in the build community. You are right that it would be pretty boring if everyone did everything the same. Looking forward to seeing you finish sorting the truck and upgrading what’s required to keep it on the road under the current power levels.
For sure! If you read the comments it’s 50/50 on the paint finish of the truck. So we can’t make everyone happy. Just trying to keep our channel real, and our builds true to our brand
TORQUE MONSTER!!! haha can't blame the youngling this time hehe
Stress him out a little bit by asking "did you remember to put the driveshaft fluid in?!" Gotta keep him on his toes! lol
That coating system looks very cool. I will be looking in to that stuff.
It's definitely our go-to now! Super simple & ends up looking very clean!
Exploded my original carrier and replaced with the eaton locker. Totally different feel after that.
That stance is perfect... sucks about the drivetrain but I love it great build
We're super happy with how it's sitting. We'll get her all fixed up and stronger than ever!
You need to find a steering wheel out of a Chevy Lumina. Bolts up and it looks dealer custom. At the dealer we just ordered a new one. All the SS454 p/u from Charlie Thomas in Houston got one. Truck is awesome that's how they should have came from the factory. A true Super Sport!
Ooooh! We'll definitely look into that !
Man. That truck sounds great !!
We really love how that exhaust turned out!
I guess we know the driveshaft was only rated for about 250 hp, lol. Truck looks great and love your decisions with this build. Keep up the great content.
Thanks so much! And I guess so! They should definitely put a label like that some where! lol
S2S Wednesday never fails.
Glad to see you in the comments! Hope you enjoyed the episode!
I absolutely love the high gloss patina! I was doing that back in the 80's but the technology was not the same back then. Never used Poppy's before but I sure like what I see! Truck is looking killer for sure thanks for sharing!
came out so good right
Thanks for watching! Poppy's definitely upped the science on this clear coat to make it patina friendly. You should definitely check it out!
Too much power! Gotta get that driveshaft pro made now hehe
We gotta make a call to QA1 now!
The OBS truck has too much freedom! This is why it likes to break parts... 😁😇🤟
It knew we wanted to drive it hard this weekend and said "nope!"
Oh man, that's a bummer you toasted the diff. It can be a trap when there is a team involved. "Did you put oil in that? Nope, did you? Nope. Aww shoot!" It's like on airliners when the staff arm the doors, you hear the call over the PA. "Arm doors and crosscheck".
Truck looks amazing. I can't believe that it twisted the prop shaft in half. Another upgrade. It's like a BOAT. Break Out Another Thousand.
If it ain't one thing, it's another! And we definitely should have had a physical check list, but being a shop build, it's something that just got overlooked!
Love the patina! Looks great.
Thank you!!
Dope, build!🤘🏽
Thanks so much!!!
Oof. Lesson learned! Listen to the grown up younglings. We are old for a reason. No worries we have all done it. Wrecked my moms car and my dads...
Amen! We're alive and no one was hurt! That means all we have to do is some minor fixes to be back on the road. Could've always been worse!
Man this truck is rad.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
Insane. Things a beast. Best shop truck out there. Couple set backs but overall it’s sweet.
We don't have a parts getter truck to go get our parts for our parts getter truck! lol She'll be back on the road in no time though! Thanks so much for watching!
@SalvagetoSavage Those are some real world problems.
390 rwhp only equals about 460 hp at the crank. I have worked in a engine building shop for years and in 2015 I built one of these trucks to 600 hp. Edelbrock advertises 550 hp with this combo but you're not getting there with an 8.5:1 cast bottom end. I had to get my 496 up to 10.5:1 with a forged rotating assembly to get above 550 hp.
I love the look
We're pretty stoked with how it turned out too!
26:56 Boca police: "Oh crap, these guys again?"
We told him what happened and said "we're just trying to tow it a block or two. Our shop is right down the street." And his response was "oooh. I know exactly where your shop is!" lol
That is a totally cool build. Absolutely love it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
With a fresh build and extra H.P., Shit happens! The driveshaft got damaged / twisted when the diff. seized up probably.
At least it happened right down the road from the shop. Now we can make sure it's 100% before we take her out of town!
I like the shiny black on the 454SS!!
She's looking like a disco ball rolling down the road! Well at least for the small amount of time she was rolling! lol
The guys over at poppy’s are awesome! The truck came out beautiful, keep it up s2s!
They are awesome. It's always a good time to have em at the shop or see them out at a show!
Truck turned out great! That’s a huge HP gain with just bolt on stuff and a tune. Does it rip the drive shaft in half,,yup. 😎
For a hot and humid dyno run, we definitely were not mad with those numbers! Now we just need to get her back on the road!
24:29 My guess from the last video was spot on!🤣
We just dug out your comment! Perfect spot on guess. Shoot us a message on IG and say Kyle said to send some swag your way!
Keep up the great vids with killer builds, you guys are awesome I can't wait for the next video.
Thanks so much for the support!
Awesome!
Mike u need to bring that truck to Dinos in November
We'll pencil it in to the calendar!
Awesome content and builds guys, I'm all the way in South Africa🇿🇦 and loving the channel and content. Didn't you guys have a mustang in the shop?
We've had a few come in and out. Not a full build though!
Gear oil? We don't need no stinkin' gear oil! ... Mikey ... happens to the best of us, bro.
We live an we learn! It'll make a good story once our wallet has recovered from the new diff! hahaha
My neighbor sold one just like that and didn’t tell me he was selling it. Now he is no longer allowed in my home on my property or even to leave a text. WE ARE NO LONGER FRIENDS!!! Well maybe I’m just kidding but I would have loved to had it. Good looking truck guys, wanta sell it.
That’s pretty funny! Lol
Yes I’d be happy to sell it. If you are a serious buyer and know the value then hit me up. Info@s2scustombuilds.com
Balllzzz you put Baby in the corner! Nobody puts Baby in the corner!
She's gotta take a minute to think about what she did! lol
What’s up from the Bay Area, new sub. Keep them obs’s coming
Will do! Thanks for subbing!
I guessed 385 wheel.....390 is what made! Please paint that hood.
Great job.looks like a Rolls Royce without the front grill!
Even with the grill on, she's a rolls royce in our hearts! lol
The truck is acting up
She wants her black diamond 💎 paint job
Is this it's version of kicking and screaming? lol
Okay so it wasn't the 545 we were hoping for but when conditions are better we should definitely pursue the 454 on the side lol
Also have to remember drivetrain loss. 500hp crank with 20% loss is 400 wheel.
We're going to see what we can do about squeezing out that 454 number!
@SalvagetoSavage exactly what I was hoping to hear outta of yall. Hell yeah!!
Nice truck
Thanks!
At least it didn’t let go on the rollers
There’s an upside to everything 🍻🇦🇺
It could always be worse! And the fact that it isn't is a reason to smile! Thanks watching! Hope you enjoyed the episode!
What a killer build
Love the paint on this truck. It looks sick AF.
Thank you!!
If you want more power your gonna have to crank on it. Put a erson hr cam! Duration @ .50 242/250, 110+2 lsa in it n watch what happens. Crank it 7k rpms and it will Probably gain bout 50 +hp.
Love the patina and that it differs between the two sides of the truck 👌
It gives it a little added bit of character!
Dude i can not get enough of these patina builds.
It makes it better when it's an original patina like this one rolled in with!
I see Holley sent y’all the kit that I’ve been waiting a year an half for paid almost $3k for all the terminator an sniper parts an they keep jerking me around telling me it’s still on back order finally got fed up with them cancelled my orders an sold all my big block stuff going go ls in my dually
We've had a few of these kits sitting around the shop for a while now!
Nice revival - looks great should be a nice delivery truck for the shop. What's next with the electric truck?
thanks my man. would love to have the time to get the truck back out on the track but were just very busy. Maybe sell it soon
Very cool teuck yall i dig it
Thanks so much!
Love the coated patina on old trucks, looks amazing
That Poppy's Patina really does wonders!
truck sounds gnarly though .... deep angry truck noises
At least we can sit there and rev it while we wait for our new drive shaft!
@@SalvagetoSavage 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Yo bro's shit happens to the best of us.
It wouldn't be life if there weren't ups and downs!
2:45-3:00... I think we just got a new meme template
The faces of absolute fear lol
Love it ! The patina clear coat and all looks amazing bros much love
Shoooot! How fast did that rearend/ diff get killed by driving without oil! I am putting a diff cooler with pump onto mine, so I won't have any failure when driving long distance hi speeds (Germany). Kepp goin, boys! Great shop! Great work!
It took one half lap around the block before it said "nope!"
Another awesome Video!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank again
Thanks for watching!
Oof 💦 the truck looks and sounds awesome 👏🏽
Glad you like it!
That’s a real monster right there. It seems like I was about right with the hp number. Great job guys 🤙🤙
Thanks so much!
I’m. Point as usual 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽
Down to the minute!
That thing sounds rowdy! Big block for the win 👍
That thing sounds great. When it’s running that is….😂 just playin yo….
We made sure to film it so we can replay the sound clips while she's being worked on! lol
It’s one of those shit happens. Lol
It definitely seems to happen quite often too! lol
😢 I've been keeping up with the 454 Build And , no one Added rear diff fluid..
It would appear you should invest in a tow truck for the shop.
This was what we were going to use to tow all the other stuff back to the garage. We didn't think we'd need a tow vehicle for our tow vehicle
@@SalvagetoSavage dang. Well soon it will be fixed then. Keep it up.
didn't know you guys are located in Florida. id like to get a sniper refi kit installed on my chevy
Shoot us a message over on IG!
Truck looks so dope. Y’all always kill it. RIP Driveshaft
Thanks so much for the support! May it rest in peace!
Did anyone see that fire ball come out of the exhaust on the first run
A little bit on the second run too! Definitely running a bit rich at first but Chris got us evened out!
Man Mikey you can break some shit bro hahahaahh great vid. truck is looking good dude
It keeps the rest of us hard at work here! lol Thanks for watching. Stoked you like the content!
D'oh!
I was hoping you could tell me how y’all prepared the paint before clear coat? I’ve got a 454ss in the same shape. What grit sand paper and what y’all wiped it down with. Love what y’all do! Thank you!
It was sanded down with a grey scotch bright pad, cleaned with poppys pre wash, wax and grease remover then sprayed
Thank you very much! Going to be my winter project.
Burn those tires until the shaft blows
We barely even got to burn any tires :(
