Me- “Uh, how about nooooo!”
I couldn’t believe how much power this stock bottom end 400 SBC made at such an incredibly LOW RPM! This is a TORQUE MONSTER! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Vicki and I are thankful for y’all and all the support!
Happy Thanksgiving to you an yours
Happy Thanksgiving you bill and your family hope you have a gre as t one...I finally get to place my order today
Same too you and your family bill
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the OMG/SRC/GEN2 family
Watching Bob run that dyno will give any car guy goosebumps. You can tell he takes pride in his work.
Amazing the capability Mr. McVey has in his shop. A good man!
Dyno is from the 70s and takes full concentration.

How so??
That 400 SBC on the dyno brought back a memory. When I worked at Andy Mannarino's shop the engine builder John had a 66 Pontiac Lemans with a 400 Pontiac. we rebuilt the short block and Andy gave him the correct Pontiac iron heads to make 10,75 to 1 compression. I did a bit of bowl blending on the heads and we used a Com Cams 292 something hydraulic flat taopet cam, forget what carb but it only made 400.0 Horsepower and around then Andy bellowed, "F*ck the horsepower look at the torque this thing's makin!" 560+ lb. ft .at like 5 grand or so & down low it made 468 lbs. ft. at 2800 rpm! I Miss those days ! ! !
Ls fanboys miss that part.
Damn. Freight train power! 👍
HP sells engines and magazines (now internet videos). Torque wins races.
Uncle Bob is awesome! You guys work together like your really family! Thanks for posting. This has really turned into one of the best automotive channels to watch.
First off, I wanted to start off by wishing you Bill, Mrs. Vicki, Billy, Tommy, Allison, Uncle Bucko, Big Rob and anyone else that I might have forgotten a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you guys have a great time and get to enjoy each other's company. I also jus wanted to say THANK YOU BILL for taking time out of your busy days to put these fantastic videos together for us. You'll never know how many $#!tty days that you've helped me get through jus with the pure enjoyment you bring in every video. So Bill please know that you are GREATLY APPRECIATED! I'm kinda rambling on here so I'm gonna cut it short but again THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH AND AGAIN HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
well .. i mean he's not doing it for free 😂 also you forgot Mark !
@@Hard_Right Good Point! 😂😂😂 Awww Man! I can't believe that I completely forgot about Chumpy! To make things worse he's definitely one of my favorites to see pop up in the video's.
Hey bill it sure warmed my heart to see your dad setting in the 55 and you guys make it easier for him to drive Happy Thanksgiving to you and your whole family God-bless you guys
Very well said, god bless
What a great little engine. Looks like Ol Bill might actually know a thing or two😊
It’ll be so nice to see the 55 back on the road with your dad behind the wheel.
Happy thanksgiving to the entire OMG/SRC crews.
Absolutely film at Pages, we’ll be disappointed if you don’t.
Uncle Bob is THE MAN!!!
That 400 SBC is going to be perfect in the '64!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
Hey Bill happy Thanksgiving, it's gonna be a little rough today I still cant walk, but im thankfull just to be alive and for so many things including all of you, specially you there buddy... that ol 400sbc made pretty good power. 400hp is exactly what I figured it would make. I hate to say this and this is coming from the most respectfull point of view so please don't take this the wrong way, i hate trying to say something like this threw typing because you cant convey where you are coming from. Now im not trying to take anything away from you and bob, just hear me out the laws of physics will not allow 540lbft tq to come from a 400hp 400ci N/A engine, even if everything was absolutely optimized for tq output. The 540lbft that was produced by the dyno was false, Dynos dont like to start by being loaded up hard, early and run from a lower rpm, they will give you an incorrect number almost every time specificly tq... I've experienced these anomalous scenarios many times growing up building/ testing race engines with my dad and grandpa, we have had many engines we built put out tq numbers that were way higher than physicaly impossable... Richard holdener talks all the time about why they dont start the dyno to early because the dyno dont like to start pulls at lower rpms, they give incorrect readings specificly tq when loaded up at a lower rpm... now im sure you have to know that obviously engines are judged by lbft per ci. The laws of physics wont allow a low compression 400hp 400ci engine which is 1hp per ci, to produce any where near 540lb which is 1.35lbft per ci.. cylinder pressure, ci and proper valve events and horsepower are all relative to torque, so the ol 400 is at a disadvantage just right there... a low compression 400hp engine producing 540lbft would need to be around 500ci... in all honestly there 500hp 502 big blocks that barely make 540lbft..... being as that 400sbc olny made 400hp or 1hp per ci the laws of physics wont allow it to produce 1.35lbft per ci... ( 1.35lbft per ci is what the typical late model race cars produce but they are making 650-800hp to be able to produce that tq) and late model engines are all about tq.... 1.35lbft is typicaly olny produced by the top 10% of professional engine builders and those engines are producing more hp than tq to be able to achive 1.35lbft per ci....being as that low compression 400 made 1hp per ci, it would have been more within the relms of reality to see 450-470lbft (which is 1.12lbft-1.17lbft per ci and 1hp per ci) which would be right on par for that engine.. also with the 110lsa of the camshaft in that 400 wouldnt come close to producing nowhere near the peak tq potental.
A 400ci sbc,will always make the most tq and power with a 105 lsa and even with the optimal lsa it still won't come close to 540lbft... A 400ci engine would need to make around 500hp+ to produce 540lbft.. here is an example ( I built the 383 in my dually specificly for tq and it makes 470hp to be able to produces a little more than 500lbft @3600-3800, its 10.2:1 compression, i speced a custom ground cam on the optimal 106 lsa and matched the duration, overlap and lift for maximum tq, I did so much detail work to optmize every aspec of that engine for tq production and squeezed every last lbft out of that combinatio, i ported an modified the edelbrock rpm manifold and the dart heads optimaly for tq.... and that engine makes 1.30lbft per ci and 1.22hp per ci... 500lbft is about all the tq you can get out of a 383ci without making 500hp+or more... so for a 400ci engine to make 540lbft, it would first to be specificly designed for tq, and make 500hp+, it would olny acomplish this feat with a 105lsa.. A 110lsa camshaft dont make very good tq in a 400 no matter how much the cam is advanced and as I said it would have to make 500hp+ to get 540lbft which is, 1.25hp per ci to achive the 540lbft which is 1.35lbft, this would end up being a max tq build that would take some serious consideration engine modification and optimal valve events to achive this with results being you end up with a very high torque 500hp+ 400sb.... 540lbft is about the max tq that is physicaly possible without making more hp than tq... Like I said Bill please don't take this the wrong way, it's coming from the most respectfull prospective, I know you aren't stupid that is part of the reason im even saying this and the fact that you arent the average dingus is alot of the reason I like you because you are one of the most honest & intelligent people I've seen in a long time, and intelligence is rare these days... now im also not saying I know everything either and I will be the first to admit when im wrong and that I absolutely dont know everything but what I do know is engines and I wouldnt say anything unless im certain.. no bullshit I know more about engines than 98-99% of people on this earth even some of the supposed pros, and that is not an exaggeration.... here are some engine builder statistics, this is a scale of how many lbft per ci certain classes of per engine builders are capable of achiving with a high hp engine build...
(beginner 1lbft ci - 1.15)
(Average builder... 1.21lbft ci - 1.26)
(Avrage pro.1.27 - 1.31lbft )
(top,10% pros 1.32- 1.38lbft ci)
( anything over 1.38lbft ci is the top 1-2% of engine builder's, all the way up to 1.7lbft ci which is pro stock shit) I've built engines as a kid and threw out life that made anywhere from 1.39-1.62lbft ci, keep in mind a pro stock engine is 1.7lbft per ci...hell i have a 383's in my other truck that makes 1.39lbft ci & 1.51hp ci with just heavly modified stock iron 186 camel humps.... again bill please don't take this the wrong way, I say this with the upmost respect as a man and a friend... I know you don't know me that well and if you don't want to listen to me that's fine I understand 100% and I don't blame you at all with all the internet experts these days.... if you watch my next video you will get a serious understand of my deep understanding of engines. I'm going to be giving info you won't find anywhere on the internet,... now being as i am a rare breed of person I have a feeling that I'm probably the olny one who says anything about the tq numbers... take care bill, I hope you and LA Familia have a good day and a happy Thanksgiving.... again sorry bill 🙏

Sure is strange that Diesel engines can show their peak torque on a dyno at low rpm’s though..
Happy Thanksgiving to the whole clan!!
Great to see your dad in the 55 with such a smile on his face and mom looking on smiling as well. Y’all are doing good for them.
Blessing my friends for you and yours!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope y’all have a blessed weekend. I’m thankful for this channel. The great content, traditional American views and the knowledge you pass around is great! Thanks for what you do 🤘🏼💪🏼🔧🏁🇺🇸
That 400 sounds Mean. 😎
Louie looks happy with the 55 progress. 😎🏁🤟🇺🇲 Leave a Duece at Paige's 🤣
Sums up my thoughts nicely. 😆
😎👊🏼
@@Loki13M 🤣🤣🤣🦃😎🤟👊
Another great video Bill!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Being disabled it's hard for me to tinker around the shop. This is why I enjoy your videos so much,you make it so friend and family oriented. It's like when I watch your videos it feels like I'm hanging out in the shop.
I'm in the same boat, Geofrey! I was always in the garage working on my son's dirt track cars, hauler, or something of mine. Now everything is an effort, and my own project has been sitting idle for 6 years or so.
Happy Thanksgiving...this video really shows what it's all about family Viki taking care of the decorations you and your brother fixing the old 55 up for your dad even Paige having Thanksgiving dinner for the whole crew. The things I'm most thankful for are family and being able to spend time with them same as you are doing in the video
Paige always cracks me up. Some footage at her place for Thanksgiving would be awesome and some great entertainment. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Happy Thanksgiving bill thanks for giving so much to everyone! All of you at omg src are doing great things.
Happy Thanksgiving to ur family
Happy Thanksgiving Bill!! Absolutely film at Paiges, can’t wait. Lol. Sure wish we were closer to Bob’s. Having a guy like him to put together engines and being able to get what you’re looking for out of an engine is just awesome. That guy is definitely an asset.
I watch a lot of CZcams videos and yours are by far one of the best edited and filmed! Also narrating with voiceover is by far the best way to do them
What an awsome video to wake up to on Thanksgiving. Thank you all for your hard work and videos
Hey Bill & Miss Vicky you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for all the great content. It was so nice to see your Mom and Dad up and about such great people! That little 400 for Miss Vicky’s pickup sure has some grunt to it great job! Well guys enjoy your special day tomorrow gobble gobble!🦃🦃😀😀❤️
Please film 📽️ .
Best video ever of uncle Bucko. His love of family and tradition is very genuine
Happy Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for. Bill, Vicki and the OMG are on my list of blessings.
Impressive torque! Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all you do! Love every video!
Love the content old man, and love the 400 small block..Happy Thanksgiving to u and ur family
You made me finally make my mind up on my 57 chevy engine. I've always wanted it to be a tourqey driver not a race car. Thanks for helping this old man make his mind up. And yes it will have an old man's garage signature carb on it. Also with hopes of driving the 57 out meet you and the family someday .HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL. Please film your time with Pages dinner. 😆
Great video.! Love watching y’all’s hard work pay off.
Happy Thanksgiving Bill, and to Miss Vicki, Billy and Tommy, Kenny and Harley, your mom and dad, Uncle Bucko, Rob, Uncle Terry, Uncle Bob, the folks at the parts store and at Jegs, and Junepup and Chevy too.
Thank you for the time you put into your videos, we really enjoy them. Lots of love from the little old couple in Nebraska.
Great way to end the night. Best channel on youtube!! 🍻💚 happy thanksgiving!!
I second that omg for prez
Leaving a comment because I know it helps your channel lets go brandon
Happy thanksgiving Truly like the way you wrap up your videos with the clips of the video.
Love your videos!!!! Glad I was still awake for this one.
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours great numbers out of that 400 .. looking forward to see the 55 going. Keep the great videos coming.
Keep up the good work bill!
Yessss definitely film it we can miss that content that’s going to be hysterical 😂
Great stuff as always Happy Thanksgiving to the fam! Miss Vicki is great with the Christmas decor!! looks awesome!
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for all your videos.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, it's nice to see your dad up and around, as far as filming at Page's house, do at your own risk 😂
Just what I needed. Can't get enough of Uncle Bucko. 😎
He needs a spin off or atleast a daily segment right lol.
Happy Thanksgiving guys! Thanks again for an awesome video!! Bill that 400 sounds great!
Happy Turkey 🦃 day!! I absolutely love seeing your father sitting in the 55 cause we know how much family means to us all. God Bless.
Can't wait to see Dad wheel the 55 again.That 400 was impressive Bob really knows his stuff.
Great Content and Video
Impressive 400 On the Dyno
Have a Great Thanksgiving to you and your Family
Happy Thanksgiving’s from are family to yours . Yes on a video at thanksgiving . I would like say thanks to you for all your videos they are great keep up the good work 🦃
I genuinely enjoy your channel and content. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving.
Nice power numbers , that torque was impressive! I switched to a hydraulic clutch and it’s worth the effort of trying to fab up a bracket that doesn’t require you to hack the car.
55 is coming along nicely...can't wait to see your pops take it for a spin...64 engine is a beast...Jeremy might make the parts guys cringe,but he is a wrench,and a hoot...Jeremy and him make a good team...Happy Thanksgiving ya'll...enjoy this day....great content as usual Bill....
Thanks for sharing buddy hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving god bless
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the whole SRC family. you always make our day.
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. That 400 is awesome. Yes, it is a truck engine but I could only imagine what it could do in a Vega on 1/8 mile.
Thoroughly surprised by the power output. Almost has as much crank hp/tq as a fresh salvage yard 6.0 LS pullout!
You show me a stock 6.0 doing them numbers
I have a cammed ls1 and make 360rwhp and 590 foot pounds of Torque
@@AndrewMitchell001 lmfao no you don't. That's literally impossible to make that torque with that hp on a 5.7 unless the dyno is reading all kinds of fucked up just based off rpm and how torque and hp are calculated
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 got the dyno sheet buddy
Sorry my bad its newton metres not foot pounds
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all the great vids!!!
Awesome guys! You have a real home town feel to your video....Thanks so much I really appreciate what you've done. :)
Hey Pops you built one hell of an engine man that is tight and right. And Uncle bucko is a badass man he might be a little grumpy and grouchy but he gets shit done straight pimpin. And Vicky is very happy. She did a great job on them decorations so far and we would love to see you record tomorrow's dinner LOL Happy Thanksgiving you guys much love to all y'all💪🏽💪🏽❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰
Good choice not installing the hydraulic clutch on the 55 chevy Bill. I went through hell installing one on my 72 el camino. I had to molest and mangle the firewall to get it to fit at the right angle and cut a huge chunk out of the pedal box as well. Not to mention the hoops I had to jump through to bleed the system fully. The softer clutch engagement is not worth the craters in the firewall and pedal box in my honest opinion.
I’m in the middle of setting up clutch linkages on my 55 Chevy as well! Love the content as always 👍🏻
I just love that 55 and 64 really hits home with us cuz I been building the wife's 70 c20. Old man youd love this truck, me n her dad brought it 12hrs from Kentucky so it's really original except rockers even original wooden bed floor. I was told it was a 400sbc which it's not but after research I learned it's the original 1970 350 4bolt 4barrel 255hp. It has pretty neat patina but I been doin some body work to make it sharper looking and of course rounding up performance parts. We ran it 3yrs with Edelbrock rpm intake and carb but this winter it's getting new heads, cam and intake so we can really enjoy it next summer. Soon as I'm able, it's getting one of your ATM carbs.
That 400 turned out great, good job keep up the good work and videos guys. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving
I love the content you bring us. Please return the favor at Paige's house. She'll love you for it.
I wish I could find a 400 small block like you did. I've had three of them and they always ran great.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family!!
Bill its just hard to beat a 400 small block engine I think it’s the best sbc ever made it doesn’t take much to get a lot of horsepower and the big thing is that torque it’s so unreal how it puts so much out there you folks have a blessed turkey day
I disagree,400 is great but the best small block Chevy made is the 327!
@@Frankie--da-fixer Gentlemen gentlemen can we agree to disagree? Lol 302 and 327
Are fantastic for RPMs if that's what you want. 3 fifties are the perfect all around In the middle stroke it D stroke it or leave it alone engine. 4 hundreds are epic if you want to shoot for massive torque or making Even bigger. My point is God loves a small block Chevy LMAO
That some impressive numbers out of that 400 ! That will pull the trailer like it's not there .! The look on your dad's face was awesome you can tell he's getting excited that the 55 is close to being alive again and the drivability of it will be much nicer for him to enjoy . I don't blame you I wouldn't want to chop up my original 55 either.
The work you guys ae doing on the 55 makes me miss my 57 2dr.post I had as a teenager . Hearing that squeak when the door opens sounds just like mine did,I think all of them after age have that same noise. Thanks for the great videos and Happy Thanksgiving to your whole family .God bless all of you !
Happy Thanksgiving yes all your content is great and appreciated
Happy thanksgiving to your FAMILY thanks for all the hard work you all put in

I can only imagine how excited you're dad is about the 55 uncle bucko is doing a great job on it he's a little different but the man knows what he's doing. That's some amazing numbers coming out of that 400 between you and uncle Bob the knowledge between you two is second to none. Absolutely video Thanksgiving dinner at Paige tomorrow what goes around comes around lol this is going to be hilarious. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE FASTEST FAMILY ON CZcams. God bless and as always be safe 👍

Happy Tday Mr. Bill. Hope you have a blessed day with family n friends. Nice lil 400, good work.
Well the 400 for the 64 sounds great n I think it’s good to go. The 55 project looks great and I’m sure dad is happy and thankful his sons are keeping the car in tip top shape. Let’s see now as far as page is concerned and family thanksgiving dinner. I think something short is in order but I also feel that you guys need a day of rest before all heck breaks loose on the weekend lol😂😂😂😂! Again I thank you for taking us along with you and your family for your adventures in Ohio. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and may you all have a blessed and wonderful thanksgiving. PS don’t pick on page too much lol God bless you all
Happy Thanksgiving to you Bill, Vicki, Billy, Tommy and to your whole family of The Old Man's Garage.
Hey bill! Thank you for the uploads. The wife & I have been sick as a dog since last Sunday. Sitting at the hospital now waiting to get looked at! This helps ease the mind. Seeing my wife just about lifeless in bed yesterday just about broke my heart!
Hey old man, first of all Happy Thanksgiving to the entire hoskinson family also Kenny and Harley and their family! I can tell your dad is a man of few words and expressions but I can tell you this looking at his face as he got out of the 55, I know he's happy! Prayers and love for your dad's open heart I went through two of them with my mom so I understand. Finally you had better film while you are at Paige's house!! And make sure you leave one hell of a deposit hahaha!! God bless everyone!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. The idea of filming at Paiges sounds like it could be very entertaining.
Great video. Happy Thanksgiving to all of your family.
