New block, crank, rods, pistons, heads, intake, cam... This is NOT a rebuild of a tired engine, this IS a new engine. 😆😂🤣
This ain't no rebuild! Its literally a whole new engine.
I hate posting negative stuff....but man I thought the exact same thing....what is the point of this when you just built a new engine
Well if it is the L48 it's decent starting point. That the 350 295hp in '70 it was rated as 300hp but no changes were made. Decent engine back in 69 they were just quick as the 302 in the Z/28 and way more torque.
Exactly aint like anyones got another block laying around
@@skylerspencer5891 Did you watch the video? They used a different block as well
@@polishedturdspeedshop didn't they paint it
“Electronical”- Pat Topolinski
Added to my dictionary, it is official now...call Webster.
shame english doesnt appear to be their 'first' language......lol
Second time in my life I heard electronical
Pat is the friggin man
Ah yes , Americans buggering up a perfect language yet again.
Watched the power block since I was 12 on TNN channel. Love all these shows...please don’t stop doing what you are doing.
TNN! Hee-Haw!
I like these videos when you guys are more chill and relaxed just hanging out building engines
Pats enthusiasm is infectious.
😊🖕🤙🏿🖕☝️👆🏿🫰🏽😿👮🏿♂️
We need an episode like this to counterbalance the cringe of Carcass.
Agreed
'Carcass'...great band!
Keep the engine builds coming guys love this show
I owned a 1969 Camaro (1981-1982) with a 350ci motor, I was 18yrs old at the time. I wish I still had that car today. I spun a bearing in the crank, sold the car for $1500 and threw in a set of 194 double hump Fuelie heads. The motor in the video is truly exceptional.
Best “trick flow” commercial I’ve ever seen!
Larry
Pat needs more pockets on his shirt lol. Thanks for the vid guys!
ANOTHER pocket protector??? Lol
I've seen him wearing a t-shirt with a logo of his loaded pocket protector. Of course he uses all that stuff frequently so I don't give him any crap about it. I used to work in a parts store so I had a flashlight, plyers, screwdrivers and a knife on my belt. Everything I needed right there and no wasted time looking for it. That made the customers happy.
More pockets = more pens!
Or if snap on makes a fanny pack, he's about over loaded lol
He needs at least 2 more pockets
Frickin love this show. Over the years they have built so many cool engines and I love how Mike takes over the dyno and the boss man Pat makes sure nothing goes wrong. You guys kick A$$!
I don’t know why, but I like all the crossover #POWERNATION is doing with these folks. It just feels right. Thanks, y’all, for all the effort. It really is appreciated.
WOW!!!!! The Trick Flow heads and intake work totally awesome!!!!! That is a great daily driver build. Great video and education!!!! I learned so much. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Can't wait for the day when I finally have time to rebuild my SBC. Guessing it will take me 30 minutes since it only takes the pros 10 minutes to rebuild one. ;)
they put on like breath new life into the 350 lmap they basically changed the entire engine
Pat your a master builder thanks for your experience.
I want "electronical" fuel injection!
I thought that was funny
Sounds like VGG!
That's hilarical!
Yes, well... unlike electronic, the "electronical" always uses fresh electrons therefore it's certified 'mo betta'. Here's a 5 gallon bucket, and hurry back!
Love this build. As I am many months behind the time when these shows air and I get to see them, I am anxiously awaiting to see what Huff & Buff at Detroit Muscle install this beauty into.
We’re going to reuse the pistons.. uses a completely different set.
Original .040" overbored block had several cracks in it so they overbored a good block .030"...
@@BuzzLOLOL block is .060 over lol
@@BuzzLOLOL did you not see the build sheet. That’s the left over block from the 383 build. It was already .030 they went .030 more to .060 over. Which is says on the build sheet
@@brandonbell3089 - No, didn't look up build sheet... .060" is dangerously thin cylinder walls for hyper SBC 350...
@@BuzzLOLOL 🤣🤣🤣. I’ve bored 350 .080 over idk were the hell you heard that. I have a .060 350 in my truck been in it 10+ years. It never sees a day we’re the throttle isn’t buried. It runs 180 degrees all day long!!!!
This show is Great... I’ve learned so much!!!
These guys are mad scientists. A lot of education there. Thanks a lot.
Could've followed their own advice and took a couple hours to port and match the intake for some free power
With that obnoxious 575 HP cam I would have gone bigger heads and more compression ratio to match...
You guy's are amazing!
Love it!
69 Camaro's didn't have the 'rams horn' exhaust manifolds.
right they were GM 3842527 and 3946826 part numbers factory 350 !
@@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm you know your Chevys, thumbs up to you.
Pat's definitely one of the race engine builder on the planet!
This shows how quickly a build can snow ball first problem turns into new everything been there done that
That's one of the best builds seen so far. Square power and torque is the way to go (442/442). 🙂
Now that's a great daily driver engine with some nice longevity built in to boot, I'll take it !!! Great job guy's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For somebody that knows nothing about cars. I Love watching their videos
The identical HP/TQ at the end to the tenth was great! Oldsmobile guys would be jealous
Great show 👏 I think you guys should do a chevy 235 or 261 that would be awesome 👌
I have one of these engines. It is great to learn about it.
Good program, tanks for your pasion for engines best regards from guatemala.
Tanks for much😉👍 nice rebuilding
great engine build fantastic street everyday driver and toasting most others !
Never thought It will make such power
My 69 SS RS Camaro had a Quadrajet on top not an AFB. And what a beautiful sound it made when those secondaries opened up.
I absolutely love this channel. I never get tired of their videos. You just can't beat American V8s.
Very good job guys
Nicely done.
Those are sweet numbers. That's a nice engine.
719👍's up guys thanks again for taking us all along with you for the great news
Pappa Pat & Amish Mike, at it again!!
Good stuff.
Pat is such a good engine instructor
FINALLY ! Some one referred to a Camaro as a Rally Sport / Super Sport Package ! RS/SS
How did I know this was a new episode? Social distancing at the dyno. Great content year after year. Keep up the good work gang.
"works most excellent", rock on dudes, wyld stallions would be proud
Today on powernation were refreshing a 69 camaro 350
: builds new motor
Great show!!! I like to see you guys applying NDT principles and doing magnetic particle on your parts before the build.
Nice build fellas.
For a low compression engine that could run on 87 piss its making real good numbers, almost perfect torque curve.
Impressive
Wow! NICE BUILD!!!!
Well done gentlemen 👍🏼
It would be interesting to have a segment explaining the machine tools. I know how to use a mill and lathe from shop in high school but I would love an explanation of the cylinder hone. Not everyone knows how to use those machines.
Well done
I love this channel. Subbed.
NICE job!
You can use those cracked blocks all day long if they where properly filled. They will run cool 😎 on the street the same way. The heat in the motor comes from the heads. If you put any power adders on those old blocks without filling them you will end up cracking the block anyways. Great 👍🏻 video to try to up sell all those different components though !!
“Just a little more peppy, something reliable, little choppy” throws a new crank, and forged pistons in it.
I love to have this engine for my el camino project
Nice street build.
Do you have a video on tuning a mild 350 crate engine in something like my 77 k10? Trying to get it working better. Thanks for the video!
New Subscriber! Man i love my 350!💪💪
Mikes physical change is crazy
They all sound good love it, been watching you guys since the beginning
Love all of these videos, I've learned so much from watching. Question about the locked out distributor (15:25)... I was always under the impression locking out the distributor was more for race engines that would be operating primarily in their peak power band. Wondering if someone could explain (or direct me to another video) why a vacuum advanced MSD distributor wasn't the choice for this street engine? It just seems like this particular vehicle will be a cruiser and won't be seeing any racing, even if they did want some more pep under the hood.
I enjoyed the HELL outta this. Well done. Now more ; )
Pat left a wrench in the front pocket, musta been a busy day
442 and 442 SWEET!
Was expecting 500+ HP with that big cam... 9:1 compression ratio? Might only do 8 - 9 MPG...
Blocks already set up for a roller cam except they use retrofit roller lifters that are like three times the price
They could have just used the stock ones with the spider and save the ton
Beautiful
Excellent vid on a classic I'm a 283' and 327' kid back in the day never run the 350 much but them numbers I tried to achieve similar goals like this but on a all iron heads
I would really like that. Still trying to break 400 with stock heads, even roller rockers. I'll try roller cam next.
My dad use to have a 355 in his 73 nova with the big valve camel hump heads eldebrock rpm intake flat top pistons thing it was like 11 to 1 compression 410 gears and had like a 540 solid cam with a good bit of duration it ran like 12 50
I love this show from phillipines
Hey salute from N.Y. U.S.A... I LOVE that you guys love guns out there.
@@CallofDoobie585 having a gun in the Philippines is like having a Lambo in the US. It's a status thing lol.
You still have cars over there?
I'm not a car guy by any means. But the CZcams algorithm is gonna do what it do, and I'm glad I watched this. This was a fun 20 minutes!
@Douglas White You aren't lying. I was up last night looking up prices for a used Corvette. Black 2003, about 25k miles, for $26k. It's at a small place here in town, wondering if I can get it down to like $24k... IM ALREADY OBSESSED!
God bless the 350 SBC. What have these engines not done.
Love from Sri Lanka love watching you’ll grow form 10k to 650k
One thing that should be done that's rarely is which is when someone plunks a good engine out for storage is pop the covers and loosen all the rockers.it seals the cylinders up and it doesn't ruin the valve springs that sit compressed. At the very least rotate the engine now n then. In the early 2000s I bought a Harley sportster engine that was completely rebuilt in 1982 (still had the tag hanging on the carb) then tossed on a shelf never run. Somehow the bores were immaculate not even flash rust but it had so much valve float it wouldn't tach much over 4500rpm. Yeah it's inconvenient to adjust the valves before running but was less work than replacing the springs. On a solid lifter Harley it only takes 10 minutes to adjust the pushrods.
I love the show! But it is interesting that they used that large of a cam. HR292XE it sound like. I run one size smaller then that on my Afr headed 355 and it’s a bit much for a cruiser. That cam would probably need 3,200-3,500 stall to be happy.
Hey guys i love the hardwork you do and working on vehicles has been my dream from my childhood and making you see kickup those engines make me happy . So i respect and love and honour your work . Keep doing these and inspire us and everyone .
Would have picked up more across the board with a 64cc chambered head. Compression would have been at 10.2 to 1 and would have complimented the cam better. Nice build none the less.
Yeah, 500 HP at 6300...
Agreed
That manifold is holding it back more than the compression is. good manifold but those heads need a weiand Team G
@@KingJT80 That's right. It's been known for quite some time now - like 90 years or so, that all the big gains from comp come before ~ 9:1. After 9:1 the gains are still there of course but not as dramatic as they are before 9:1, in part because pumping losses from squeezing the extra comp start making the returns less.
So moral of the story is 9 - 9.5:1 and go for it everywhere else and it will still make really good power.
Big cam and plain ole 9:1 comp still yields big gains so long as the heads are good.
With aluminum heads I'd 'risk' 10:1 though LOL (despite everything I've just said)
Nah the double heads weren't all that great for flame propagation and don't flow very good by modern standard. Plus advantages on timing alone on pump gas would make up for the bump in compression. The '71 76cc heads make more power than the older with the small or big valves, just a better chamber design. Plus the weight savings with aftermarket aluminum will help with acceleration and handling, the iron heads ~50lbs each, aluminum just over 20lbs each.
love your video! I am hoping to get your opinion on something. I have a chevy 350 that I want to freshen up without machining. I specifically want to replace the main and rod bearings to increase engine longevity. So regarding the rod bearings, can I just replace them, do the clearance checks, and retorque them without having to change the rod bolts/nuts? Its just a stock, average HP late 70' engine that is just a daily driver. Thoughts on this?
Ive always heard that you can what I call it here is advance the timing ahead a few notches and it would make it run alot better if you do it here and he just proved that you can do it too cool thanks for the info too now
Yall are awesome seriously no reason for dislikes
The tree fitty seems really popular
Snapon should make a tool box for that guys pocket 🤪
Good video
FYI The Sniper handheld shouldn't flash off when you crank the engine. If it does, the 12V pink wire is going below double digit voltage when you're on the starter.
That's pretty badass. A Camaro would seriously haul with that under the hood.
Sure is sad to see that block cracked. Numbers are the ones GM made the 302s out of in 1969. Not all of those blocks were 302 blocks, but that was the casting number for them. Have to look at the stamp pad on the front, to see. If it was stamped DZ, it was a 302, If not, it was a 350. That's not the OEM block for that car, and neither were the exhaust and heads, but they were good factory upgrades for it, probably at the time they were put in.
I'd just weld the block up and keep on going...
That is going to be a powerful and sweet ride. a camaro with 442 horses. have mercy. !!
That’s a long torque curve!!
What did you do with the rods?
Were those tuned headers?
They look like it...
Awsome car
I like your show alot and the 350 chevy more! I've built a bunch of em.
Just picked up a C4, I need this motor lol
Perfect
I would like to see a little more on the 5.3 rebuild on an 08 pickup truck Silverado.
442 horseporks from all natural 350 is pretty damn nice. I'd take that any day.
350s can make that all day long of course people say they can’t
Pretty engine
Injection, euurrgghhh. Bet that drove like a dream though in the car.
