Ever since I was a kid ive gotten goose bumps when I hear a cammed V8, im 27 now and gonna make it happen within the next few years or so not sure what kind of car I'll find but its definitely getting a cam that makes it chop like that
Truck or car, makes no difference.. you can’t beat that sound like a sore dick… my suggestion in your endeavor, pick one and invest your heart into, don’t have a project and a daily driver…. Your project will turn into the one that got away, and your daily will be the one that wants all your attention.. best of luck finding what you like friend
I'm a Mopar guy, but as a real car guy will tell you - any car you can get your hands on is a cool car. I'd say the best bet is to get an old C10 pickup. Infinite parts, cheap, easy to build, and you're gonna get either a 350 or a 305 - some people will tell you not to waste time building a 305 but I built tons of them for fun. Either way any SBC motor will be perfect for a new build, every step is completely documented. With a bit of youtube even a new guy with limited tools can take C10 with an SBC and install a Comp Thumpr cam in just a weekend. Buy some dual headers if you don't have any and pop some 8 inch glass packs on it - pure happiness right there.
She's breathing good and quite snappy response. I hope the transmission can hold up to that beast. Good idea for swapping out that 10 bolt rear with a nine inch rear. The ass end is going to try to outrun the front end so you're going to have to drive this beast with your right foot as well. Nice car.
Sounds like a badass setup. Yeah right now the car has an rv 454 with the thumpr cam, old weiand single plain intake with a summit 750 on top. Has crazy amounts of low end torque and decent mid range power. Can't wait to actually build it though. Later I'm gonna throw piston and and rods at it. I have 502 rectangle port heads for it. Then put a real bump stick in it. Probably solid flat tappet cause I'm cheap lol. Shooting for 600+ hp.
I've has 2 now. I like them cause you can get cheap and there's lots of room in the engine bay for whatever engine you want. Had a mild built 350 before I went to the big block in this car.
@@sloansgarage5116 I paid $1850 for mine 20yrs ago, I was 18, I rolled it several times and was ejected out the back window on my way to work, I had a spinal cord injury and been in a wheelchair since, but I have a 93 s10, building a hot little sbc for it
Yeah I only paid $400 for this one because the v6 blew up. That's sucks. Yeah I want to do something with an s10 eventually. I have a 327 that needs rebuilt. That I've thought about building for an s10. For maybe a junkyard LS
Currently have 360 peanut port heads. As long as you don't want more than about 5500 rpms there fine. The small port size limits your rpm capability. My engine is stock besides the cam, intake and headers. And it works pretty good. It pulls really hard to 5000
@@sloansgarage5116 I'll see what heads I have and try it anyway. Mostly a Cruzer and car show type of thing. My tunnel ram has ports not much larger than the head ports.
Can u run it like this for awhile without the quick performance im building a 4th gen 454 w turbo 400 trans and worried about the power twisting the rear end
I drove my car with a mini spool in the 7.5 10 bolt for a while. I had a 400 horse 350 in the car before the big block. I never broke it. But I really don't drive the car all that much
I removed the heater box and put a plate over it. If my car wouldn't of been an a/c car I think it would of been fine. Just couldn't of ran the tall valve covers
@@sloansgarage5116 yes I remember having to modify heater box I had to put I believe iroc springs in too because stock springs dropped to ground it was definitely a fun ride
Eventually I either gonna pit a 4l80 trans in it or I've thought about manual swapping it with like a t56 or something. I'd like to have overdrive for cruising
Thanks man yeah my mechanic just dropped one in may 454 Big block he rebuilded The wbole thing heads pistons just aint to choppy i im babying it right now hé said just baby it dont Get it on yet
Thanks. I'm gonna take it to the drag strip once it open in the spring. To get a baseline. Then I'm gonna build it. Hoping to make around 600-650 horses n/a. Gonna be sick
Completely bone stock heads. That cam doesn't have alot of lift. Has a decent amount of duration and a tight lobe separation that's why it's got a choppy idle

Super basic. Motorhome 454, 7.9 or 8:1 compression, peanut port heads with stock valve springs, comp thumpr cam, old single plain weiand intake I got used and a 750 summit carb and longtube headers.
750 cfm summit carburetor. As far as horsepower idk probably around 400ish. It's a 454 out of a rv. I put that thumpr cam in it, has weiand single plain intake, and hooker headers. Pretty mild really but has crazy torque. Burnout machine
Yeah not sure exactly what it is but probably like 8:1. It is just a motorhome engine that I put a camshaft in. Along with aluminum intake I got second hand with a 750 carb I had laying around and long tube headers
It's the car I had. I bought the engine for $500 and put the camshaft in. Spray painted it and threw it in the car. Really a super cheap low compression big block. Thanks for the compliment though.

Nice. Thats a pretty healthy cam. I'm too cheap for roller cams. But I am gonna step up to a comp cam 294xe when the time comes. It's a hydraulic flat tappet cam with almost .600 lift with a power band of 2800-7000
Maybe someday. I'm more function over form. I'd rather have a fast piece of junk than a really nice slow car. Plus I don't feel bad went I beat on it. The cars really not that bad needs a driver fender and a paint job. Still has the full interior the seats aren't ripped. It's a decent car to me. Especially when I got it for only $400
Ok then sounds like your not a fan of third gen f body I assume. Yes the car needs a finder and a paint job. But other than that it's solid. Plus it's what I can afford right now. Thanks for the input 👍
