Not trying to make power.
Proceeds to make lazy 800hp n/a with a small block Ford.
This is why I like Frank.
Frank: “You can plug it in yourself in one hour”
Everyone else: “I’ve been working on this for 12 months”
"Frank, we just did another pull"
"How do you feel?"
This is how its done. The achievement focus of frank is why he's a great engine builder. A man living his purpose in life. & living it to the max
👍
Frank from dandy engine’s = Legend !!! 😜👍🇦🇺
What a sensational video. Top work. Dandy is the best there is when it comes to small block fords.
The pre-made harness makes a big difference... (Guess that's the advantage of common US bent 8's)
Just dropped $4500 on a custom loom for my GTiR. Any yeah, a custom professional loom makes life way easier ;)
Oh and 9hp for race fuel. Wouldn't even bother
Great video.
@Lost Pants most of the cost was Tefzel wire, new connectors, new sensors and a little fab work.
Great video. Franks always great to listen too. Explains things in a way that the average bloke can understand. Builds really stout combos too.
Frank is an awesome engine builder 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
My second pull never comes this good dam frank u are a legend haha
OMG..that's fantastic - I'm totally useless mechanically as my capability is basic oil changes. Well done for making this Video.
So this video was basicly "It's really easy to plug in a bunch of preterminated plugs"
If you had a carby setup in a car. You'd need to upgrade to a high pressure fuel system( pump, filter, lines, fuel rails, injectors, probably upgrade your wiring to run pumps) Change your intake manifold and throttle body. find a way to mount a crank sensor, weld bungs into your exaust for wideband sensors. Possibly drill holes in your fire wall or find a suitable position for the ECU and other electronics. Manage all your cables so they don't melt. Am I missing anything else here? These guys are cooked the engine is already setup to run EFI.
yeah, thought it was going to be something like the holley dominator. Like you say, lot of other stuff you need to make it happen. That said, interesting vid still. Appreciated in the lockdown here in NZ.
The ECU is in the display of a Fueltech.
Doesn't look like that block has a provision for a mechanical pump, so you'd need an electric fuel system to begin with. intake manifolds can easily be drilled, throttle bodies are cheap, MSD sell distributors with an in-built CAS, unless you can magically tune either setup needs O2 sensors, wiring is easy with plug and play looms and an ECU is easy to mount.
Sounds like excuses for someone clutching to a semi controlled leak of a carby.
and dont forget you can do that in an hour or so...apparently
@@JesseDR30 Hear bloody hear, EFI is now a quantum leap better than old Spit, dribble and approximate fuel management!
Especially with the Self-tuning ability!
Luke - you should do a monthly vid busting engine myths with Frank and Bromie. Don't care if its a ripoff of another show, I'll watch.
At least it would be free and I could watch it here in nz
good to see a proper efi setup for the engine. hate seeing people just changing to some cheap kit that isn't set up for the manifold and wondering why it isn't making power.
Your problems are showing by my walk to my dance I had to be stopped real fast 😂
I can see now why people like Fueltech so much 😁 So user friendly and simple to adjust 💻
I knew the old 2-inch spacer was going to make an appearance 👑
Its true about those curly-headed blokes they just keep chipping away at it 😇
Fark me swinging Franky 952 Hp and no oil pressure ! Your sick sick little man 🤣
You could almost change a bloke over to those Ford things -
Lets give it 1 more pull you farkin Champion Franky 🤣😂🤣
Paul Mc Brien two inch spacer are awesome 😎
@@fullnoyz7670
I know 🧡
Without being a smarty pants, can you outline the cost difference in the 2 set ups?
Mark W carb setup is a bout half price. Doesn’t matter... EFI is so much better.
When you have that much invested in a motor the "extra" cost of EFI is irrelavant.
Awesome content as always gentleman!
Ok so 2 years ago a close friend of mine went to PRI and he is a well respected engine builder from Sydney. While he was there he visited the local drag strip and was shocked at what he saw. 3 out of 4 cars were running Carburetors with 6’s and 7’s quarter mile et’s. The cars ranged from NA through to boosted. This particular engine builder swore by Efi. After seeing what he saw he hooked up with and American carby company and has never looked back. The technology has come a long way with Carburetors and tuning. Just saying
That's a viable option for big dollar Race cars, especially WOT/Strip specific setups.
It's a different app, if you want closed and part throttle drivability(across the RPM Range) and decent economy.
Nik Masa exactly what Ase said.
Awesome work guys
Throw another carby on the barby mate! Or maybe throw it in the garby. 🤣 Great video! Thanks. Greetings from USA
Thats insane, that proves that technology makes an engine more safe, more reliable and more power 👍 easy and quick installation
Very impressive
Interesting video :) Thanks for posting
Lots of great information in this video 👍🏽
Awesome video today thanks
Did you guys video the cleveland that dandy engines assembled 467 cid with higgins top end made 943 hp,please vid more clevelands
This is the same engine.
In Queensland, police handed out 58 fines when they broke up a large car rally south of Brisbane at the weekend.
About 150 drivers were gathered at a warehouse car park and many cars became bogged when they tried to flee.
Police raised more than $75,000 from that one gathering.
Yeah we saw that, not really sure what the point of their cruise was...
Stay at home like you are meant to and wouldn't have had a problem. It's all these gatherings that are dragging this shit out. If everyone could not leave their house for 2 weeks it would be done and dusted and we could all move on with our lives
@@fullboost It was just a bunch of silly fuckers doing skids at the industrial estate. A mate's son was fined $1334. The offence was listed as 'Fail to comply with Covid-19 Public Health Direction'.
great video.
Engine masters did all this too.
Frank your The Aussie Ford God 😎
can i put a carby on a barra? 8s for 2k
Ford 😍😍😍
That's a bad ass engine!
Awesome vid boys
Could listen to frank all day
It’s crazy how fast there leaf strung xdub is and it’s only getting faster
Thanx for giving us awesome in depth vids
Any chance you guys could do an in depth vid of transmissions
At any trans place in melb Like the ins and out of how they work and why certain trans are better etc ? Just something that would be interesting in my opinion
Frankie you are looking good old friend. Dave S
Great video guys.
EFI for the WIN
Some idea of cost would have been nice - for roughly 8K AUD of kit(ECU Package + o2 + Spark) it would want to be nice and easy....... Appreciate the engine is probably 40k so its all relative ....
What would this complete package cost?
467 cubic inch "small" block, what's a big block then ? just asking :)
To put into perspective a Honda small block is 1.6L and their 'big' block are 2L upwards.
627 cubes..
Big blocks have bigger blocks than small blocks, but it doesn't necessarily mean they have more displacement.
It's dependant on bore spacing, not engine capacity
FE 390 . lol
Coloca legenda em português Brasil
So to sum it up efi makes more hp and a better linear curve 👍
These guys know how to build v8s
I hate when my kaka craps out on the side of the road... when I can't get it rolling again straight away, it is *always* because of electronics.
I believe that for no-competion car, carbs are the choice. They are simple intuitive and manageable, anyone could work on them in fact I bet all new cars are build on top of an electronic dangle so you can't fix, only the dealer can.
Can I switch from an EFI system, to a Carb?
Of course you can.
...now go chuck it in a AU 😂😂😂
Not 1.5 metres away hahahaha
Still old school, prefer carby
oh damn! no social distancing or lockdown. Lucky you guys!
i dont how aftermarket EFI and ECU equipment are hugely expensive but if your car has carburetors you just need a screwdriver and patience.
Oscar Thorpe and a box of jets, and air bleeds, and accelerator pump cams, and bowl and metering block gaskets, and power valves, and dropping fuel all over your engine when doing it. Carburetors are basic in operation, but let’s be honest, there are plenty of points of adjustment on them as well. So.... how quickly can you add e85 to your petrol carby and get driving again ? Because the ecu does it automatically...
When you have that much invested in an engine dont you think the added investment in an ECU with quality engine protection functions closed loop AFR targeting and knock retard plus much more is worth the money?????
Did they ever mention the horsepower it made with the carb?
800hp. But they only used the carb to run it in.
Me
“ Carby” 🤣🤣🤣
🦠🧟♂️
"run of the mill 800hp small block Ford" lol
Simeon Orive well they did have one they did the other day on Facebook making 947hp on 98 octane so yeah run of the mill lol
Simeon Orive they still are fast haha this is just a whole new level
@@fullnoyz7670 yeah no shit. Hence my first comment.
So don't fuck around, run efi straight up? If its the be all and end all stop fuckin about and run efi
This goof is running closed loop fuel correction at full throttle?!?!
Why would you wanna switch from a carb that makes big power, to an EFI fuel and air starved motor, put a holly dominator on that thing those crappy Aussie carbs don’t make any HP, you also might get better HP number from an Edelbrock victor jr intake, or just an Edelbrock intake in general what all the drag racers in the states run, over here in the states EFI would never ever outperform a carburetor, a Holly Dominater would definitely outperform that EFI system here’s how things stack up over here czcams.com/video/EBalrpY73Jc/video.html
