Everyone was amazed when Nick pulled this numbers matching engine apart and found a bolt had smashed a piston to shards. Today the beast is back together and ready to be fired up again on the dynamometer. This mega episode will take you from break-in to final testing. 'Here we go!' - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Good job on finding the sabotage. Nobody anymore wants to admit it happens, and NICK found it like a pro!
My brother had a 71 Plymouth Road Runner with a 383 Magnum, 4 speed /pistol grip shifter. We flew back to Detroit, and drove it out of the plant brand new while he was home on leave from Viet Nam. Home being Winnett, Montana, had no speed limit at the time, (1971). We cruised past a hidden Highway Patrolman at 155 mph, (on the speedometer), and cruised main street twice before he got there. He had radared us about five miles out from our small hometown. He wrote my brother a speeding ticket for "in excess of 100 mph". The best of memories from the muscle car era!
always been a chevy guy till i started watching nicks garage
3inch exhaust would help
Nice, I'm working on a 1969 440 right now. I am enjoying working on this beast, being a Pontiac guy, I'm excited to see how well I can tune this man's Mopar. Cool stuff. 👍👍🏁🏁
How's it coming?
I enjoy your program, old school at 73, can't do anything any more, but I can still enjoy see this stuff. I had a 71 440. ran like a wild man. caught fire.
Those old 440s were legends. She sounds nice. Watching that fuel pour down the carb, was very enlightening.
I see what you did there 😂
This Man is A Mopar Genius And the way it sounds his Brother is right up there with him!
I love it when Nick gets excited about using original parts including the air cleaner and wingnut!
My kind of guy.
I agree. Sadly it's a throw away society we live in where no one values the original parts.
"wingnut" means something else in the USA.
I had the Ededbrock hi rise manifold on my 70 R/T charger. With a 1" spacer plate and holley 750 double pump. Not completely original but more horses. And it was consistent.
I don't think he was too excited about it at first. He was talking like he thought that thing was going to rob 40hp in his own, cheerful way. I think he was surprised though, when that thing only ate seven or 10.
@@charlesvan13 no it means the samething in Merica!
That's what makes Nick the best at what he does and also makes his engines the quality they are cause he builds and tunes it like no other .and just rember nothing runs and preformes like a well oiled machine .
50 mins episode, oh now youre just spoiling us Nick :)
Maybe we should take next week off?
@@NicksGarage well when you give us such great content i think we will all gladly wait :)
A small idea for the Channel maybe do a small Q&A video 5-10 mins with Nick im sure we got some interesting questions for the guys at the shop and its a quick and ez video for you guys to make.
Ill throw in the 1st question " what is the most special car fixed in Nick's garage in Nicks opinion? "
Best car show ever!!!! No big sale, flippy, oh my god theres a deadline drama, just straight up calm upbeat car stuff!!! I just ordered a copy of Vanishing Point Nick!!!! I like Dean Jaggers line in that movie, "beans...lotta beans" lool classic.
Not bad for a freshened engine. The blue 440 with 4-barrel carb that was put in the passenger cars in the sixties was rated at 350 horsepower. My specialty was six pack cars. I owned the Big Blocks and small blocks that were the factory coded vehicles. Definitely prefer the 440 + 6. 400 horsepower is not that far off for these engines the stock compression ratios and Mild cams, cast iron intake manifold and exhaust manifolds. Step up to the 440 + 6 and begin doing performance changes with compression ratio, headers Cam and head Port work... You get big surprises LOL. Great job Nick love the videos many thanks
The 350 hp was GROSS rating which is really 290 hp sae net. The 440-6 rated at 390 is really 325 hp net. a 2019 5.7 is 375 net....will beat any stock 1970 440 car.
Nick is a wizard. A true elder of the craft. He is what you might call, an ultra badass.
Absolutely Brilliant Nick, I feel the same excitement when I build an engine, Just like a Kid on Christmas Morning.
You will never know how much you n your channel mean to me, am a retired an electrician, 40 years, but in my teens n 70's i was a parts counter man for a Dodge dealership in hollywood. I also became the guy who was in charge of, if I can remember the youngster who was the guy tu contact for Mopar High Performance parts fot the south east region, Direct Connection for all your high Performance parts. Had people from all over asking for special parts. Even had Hemi inc. order a strip Barracuda only, not for street use shipped to our dealership. Had it for years, then sold it to K C n the sunshine band. If it weren't for management, I might still be with Chrysler. It was a great time, n picked up finding parts very quickly. I miss it to this day, n Mopar will always hold a special spot in my heart. When i found your channel, it was your knowledge n passion that keeps me coming back. Thanks for all you do n share.
Thanks Marty. We are happy to have you along for the ride.
Thanks Nick
This was one of the better videos to me on your channel. Reason being, it was a "simple" build for a real world engine. The intake and air cleaner comparison was spot on. But I really like the others just as well. It was what I watched while I ate breakfast in the shop this morning.
So, I bought a sound bar and sub-woofer for my TV which my laptop is hooked up to, been playing music videos and cranking it. Get home today and this gem is on the list to watch. So I crank the V8 on the dyno up and my neighbour throws a rock through my window so he can hear it better, sweet sweet V8 music, doesn't matter who makes the bent iron it is a sound like no other. 8 holes filled with demons screaming to get out. On a personal note my 5.0L Windsor has been rebuilt suspiciously similar to this V8 440, 20 thou over pistons, 10 thou over crank, new pistons, rings line honed and bored, squared deck, tricked up ported GT40 heads (as much as you can on those units), stage 1 cam rev range 2000 to 5500,new Melling oil pump etc etc...EFI, ex-police vehicle with no rev or speed limiter to worry about, should be ready to turn the key by Thursday or Friday this week the 6th or 7th, as soon as it is inspected, registered and on the road I'll post something for posterity. The video production and editing quality game is strong in Nick's Garage. Love your work and everyone who goes towards making these videos happen.
It's 7:42 am and Breakfast at Nick's Garage drops onto my notifications. Can anyone think of a better way to start your week? Everyone knows how life is down here in the States these days. Hearing the sound of a 440 on Nick's dyno makes more sense than all the noise coming from Washington DC or the Parliament in Quebec. Je parie que vous pensiez que tout ce que vous faisiez était de faire des vidéos sur la réparation de voitures classiques musclées, n'est-ce pas? N'oubliez pas que vous êtes le docteur Nick!
I sold a few of Chrysler products with the 440 and they sure made a customer happy , I miss those days , one great big block !
Nick, I'm in tears! you're my favourite presenter on CZcams by far. You come across as so genuine I feel like we could be real life friends.. I sense you would be the kind of person that could let an engine blow up on the dyno to take me (or anyone) to hospital if I had a heart attack or something. I raise my glass to you buddy!
You're in tears?
@mark rylander And you're in the basement waiting for Mommy to bring you milk and cookies while you watch the latest video game she bought you.
From one old school guy to another great content Nick and crew! In this day and age with all the turbo and supercharger build's it's refreshing to see someone dedicated to naturally aspirated engine's and how to eek out every last horse....Cheers from Nashville Tn.
It was my pleasure to meet you Nick and I am very happy that you did not have a New Jersey flag. You are a genuine lover of the craft, motor craft that is.
Sarah. It was my pleasure.
Thank you Nick and company for keeping it real. I'm a Chevy guy at heart but also love Mopars ! In my younger day I've rebuilt one 318, one 354 Hemi, two 392 Hemi's all Mopar's. The last 392 Hemi was 8.5 to 1 compression ratio with a 671 GMC style blower w/Dual Quads. They all ran well ! May God bless all of you !!!
When I see challenges, others see failure. Nick's trick is accessing one change at a time to maximize an engines performance.
Yes you can do that when you own a dyno .
Back in the early seventies these sweet monsters were everywhere at the used car lots...cheap, too! Need me a time machine!
Had a chance to buy a purple with white interior super bird for 18,000 US dollars and didn’t have the money 😕
@Pat Ball hey how you doing.
@@donchristie420 Probably a good thing. They never made a purple Superbird in 1970..
Harley Wright white interior, was shabby, but still!!!
I bought a '71 440 with a 727 trans for $75 from a junkyard back in 83. I put about $750 into the rebuild and she screamed in my 75 fury sport.
Nick this is your friend Danny from Detroit wow what a great Dino on that big 440 can't believe you pushed out 401 horsepower great job I got to rename you I think I'm going to name you dr. Nick you look like a doctor and the dino room great luck Nick can't wait to see the Kowalski I am your biggest fan love from Detroit to all your family and you God bless you all
401 hp on the bench is 330 hp in the car...a stock 2019 5.7 puts out 375 in the car.
NICK,
REMEMBER, When motorhomes were first manufactured starting about
1963 most builders fancied the DODGE chassis with a 440 v8.
By now the auto wrecking yards must be full 0f them.
!
I was thinking of Nick about 4 am Sunday morning. I woke up and was unable to go back to sleep. I turned on the television and Vanishing Point was on. It was the part in the movie where he was driving trough the desert and had a flat tire. Imagine that, a polyglass bias tire having a flat.
John. I have a set of those for my Kowalski project.
Thanks Nick. You proved that knowledge is POWER. Amazing watching that Dino work in process! You exceeded the factory claims which were likely exaggerated for that motor in 68'. After all, the buyer had no way to test the the actual power back then.
My dad told me once the horsepower power was rated less than what the horsepower was because that's how insurance companies rated insurance when he was growing up
I knew you would squeeze the extra HP out of that 440. You have made me a lover of Mopar.
In 1981 my friend bought a 68 charger w a vinyl top, no engine for 500 bucks. We found a 440 complete engine a guy had in his yard for 50 bucks. I rebuilt it for 60 bucks labor. he still has it! But hasn't driven it in 30 years. He is now rebuilding the complete car again and wants to have it on the road next year
Like one of the other subscribers said engine Dyno is like open heart surgery for cars and you just don't get to see a video every day of open heart surgery but we do appreciate the surgery that Nick does on these to make them perform at their best Peak and to last a lifetime thanks Nick and crew great job
The Camero burnout was awesome.
Yes it was. Very impressive.
I am amazed with Nick's "human torque wrench." You have earned a new fan from the Philippines.
The computer opened up a whole new world, how I wished I would of had this kind of learning video when I was young. But we struggled and made it. The world has really changed. Thanks Nick for getting into the Video Game, it helps alot of people. I love watching people with a Passion doing what they truly love. People are amazing....
thats why I love watching Nick's Garage he still can keep things to himself like the cam, secrets of the trade love it . Hats off to you Nick.
I'll play DA and call BS. This is not a race engine. Secrets in a street engine?!?! RRRIIIIGGGGHHHHT. Show us the break in of a "secret" cam. It's a Summit Catalog cam and he did not want to say it. I mean, he let us in on his secret of exhaust manifold gasket trimming that nobody has done before...
@@hyperluminalreality1 I thought the same thing.
@@hyperluminalreality1 I agree! He has a channel to show him 'working his magic' and then, when it comes down to actual specs, he doesn't share information that might be useful to others? That's a poor way to be.
Most likely not sponsored by the cam he uses there for call it a secret.
I was really hoping to hear at least the actual cam specs. I just got my street 440 with an comp xe262 and it is just awesome.
Nick is a legend glad to be a part of this channel. Keep it up Nick you are a rare commodity.
Awesome work Nick! Used to have a shop of my own decades ago. Keep up the good work brother!
Good to see someone who knows his Stuff. Thankx.
No one is saying how GOOD that engine sounds. That engine sounds GOOOOOOOD!!!!!
Nick Is the Mopar master builder
I owned 3 different 1970 440's and all were this color. I liked the color because it reminded me of Petty Blue. (The color of Richard Petty's earlier cars.) I sold them all in the late 1970's and wish I had kept one.
Damn, aint it always the same thing - something yku invested in and cherished and loved and, but, then (sold).... Few years later you start to think about things and......
nice resurrection of old iron guys
We can't lose these old timers who know so much about engines and cars ... Thank you!
in another life time i could see Nick sharing his vast knowledge and teaching ability to be an instructor at a Tech school..to pass on his knowledge of motors and running a business..the mechanics in today's business world is sorely lacking...
The rumble of a mopar big block is music to my ears.
Nick the WIZARD of all THINGS MOPAR. The GREEK GOD of HORSE POWER.
Those old engines ran for ever, much fun
No they did not.....the newer engines are 400% more reliable.
Now THAT'S how a Mopar starts up from a new rebuild, not like the fords all temperamental and burping up flames! Lol! Time to break out the race cars and get them track ready, spring has sprung, finally, thankfully! Time to uncover and break out the summer rides too. Wake the old gals up for the nice weather season,shine em and tune them up for the shows and cruises. That exhaust pipe on the left side looks really small coming off the manifold,i wonder if it's constricted the flow. You're the master Nick, you'll get your numbers, you always do!!! I'm baffled why people would dislike this or any of these videos, then again there's some people in this world you can give a million dollars to, and they'd still complain because you didn't give them 2 million instead! Share the love! Not negativity! Smh, i just don't get it. Thanks again guys for another great video and I knew you'd get your numbers guys, I always have faith in y'all! Much love from the U.S. and thanks for keeping those beautiful old gals alive and rumbling on down the roads!!!!▪☆☆☆▪
Great vid Nick! The dyno is a great tool, but experience is what got that engine over 400 HP. Good job!
400 hp on that bench means 330 hp SAE-NET in the car.....the 2019 5.7 V-8 puts out more at 375 NET.
Great build. Green tshirt guy standing with his fingers in his ears during dyno runs, while yellow ear protectors are on the desk 4 feet away. Got to love old school guys. "Still plays with Blocks" perfect for these guys.
Nick I love your channel and all the old mopars. love the real world dyno testing and your ability to get the most out of these old motors. Keep up the good work. Your show is better than any of the car shows on the TV. Thank you for putting this content out for us to watch.
I love the fact that you did a comparison between the stock intake and the Edelbrock Performer 440! I am considering using a Performer on my 1979 Dodge Dreamer. This is great! Thanks Nick!
Wow! That 440 idle is the sweetest kind of music!! Love it too when she's screaming at 5600!! Great video, Nick!
The 440 was a great all around engine. It had a hydraulic cam for smoother more dependable operation but it was an absolute torque monster down low. It seemed to have more low end torque than the 426 Hemi did. The 440/6 had the same 490 lb/ft torque rating as the Hemi(the regular 440-4 bbl was rated at 480 lb/ft) but you can't really go by the factory rating. The 440 seemed to have more power down low but the Hemi would catch and pass it at higher RPM's. The 440 also was still docile enough where you could drive it every day no problem. The HiPo 335 horse 383 that came in the 68-70 Roadrunner/Super Bee was a great engine too. I think they got the 440 heads and camshaft from the factory
I thought I was the only one who never needed a torque wrench!
That's awesome! I will only use one for head bolts , rods and mains. If you can't tighten all the other stuff by "feel", you should probably be working at Burger King...
@ Jeremy, EXACTLY!!
That is a beautifully running 440; superlative balancing, cam and tuning job done on this engine! The best from Nick's.
I worked on them when the were new,and the smell of roasting paint filled the shop often,in the winter it was nuts,and I read down and the guy that spoke of the zinc in the oil was right,cams go flat quick today without the zinc,only bad cams we had in the late 60s were the damn hemi's they ate lifters often,then I talked the head master in checking the pressure out of the box,they were 330 lbs wide open and that's the killer,the valve train on the 426'were heavy and necessitated the poundage,the E86 440 mag was a impressive engine back when the fuel out of the ground was around102 octane,i ran gulf no knocks in my 1965 formula s and had to turn the timing up,nothing today is the same as the old days,except these mopar specimens that are dead nut original,thanks for the show nick,the sound of those wedges give me goose bumps
I had the same discussion with some people concerning the 5.7 Hemi which I am an owner of also in my truck. The zinc was removed out of these oils today and I believe that's why a lot of the needle roller bearing roller lifters and cams are getting ate up. High heat and low viscosity oil along with no zinc, and it is baking these new engines. Personally I run the zinc in my oil of my 5.7 and I have made strong recommendations to other people concerning it. Very well said!
I just bought my wife a Durango r/t with the 5.9 magnum,it was making noise when we bought it,knowing this I immediately went after the light tick,found the cam was brinneled ,literally flaked off and really nutty it was flaked on the round concentric of the cam not the lobe,we looked for a replacement found one with 102k miles on it,put zinc oil in it,it was ultra quiet,yeah the zinc is the problem and they know it,dealerships are trying to survive and I guess this is how they do it,i run two quarts of zinc oil in with the thin as water lubricant and got away with it,i got thinking driving across the country on a 10 hour burn,i don't think it would hold up,somebody had better come back to earth and design an oil with these late engines in mind,i'm glad I'm retired,working on this nonsense everyday would be a terror
That was an awesome video Nick. Thanks a milion.
If I remember correctly, that air filter can have the top inverted and still seal the filter element but it allows a whole lot more air to get in. And it makes one heck of a noise when the secondaries open up. It's hard to believe a different year intake could be that much better WHEW! Twenty horse just from a better design, and from the factory.
I had a 68 Charger 383 and I have to wonder if an intake from a 1970 would have given it another 15-20 Horse. Tuning like what we see here with Nick can really make a difference. I had a guy who used to race cars tune my 383 at his gas station. He pulled the distributor out and tuned it on a Sun machine. Installed different springs and weights. He rejetted the carburetor and drilled some holes in the air filter housing. It fell like it had another 25-30 horse when he got through with it. Later on, I replaced the mufflers with some free flowing type and that felt like another 5-10 horse. It was the fastest FACTORY 383 for 100 miles. There were a couple faster but they had hot cams and exhaust headers
Not shown in the video, but after switching intake manifolds, you should definitely revisit the air:fuel mixture, and probably the ignition timing.
39:50 - Nick hits the magic number! 400+hp! Congratulations Nick you have now graduated as Dr Nick (PhD - '68 Dodge Coronet R/T 440ci engine re-building).
I ran my 383 with 35 total degrees ar 8 initial. With the reworked distributor, carb, and 727 trans(all done by me) I got 18mpg in town and 20 on highway. It pulled 0 to 60 at 6.3 seconds. Every 1000 rpm was 30 mph. So 1k was 30 mph, 2k was 60 mph ,3k was 90 mph and it did 120 at 4k. '68 Fury 3 2 dr sedan hardtop. 2.92 rearend. Loved that car.
Your show and tell of all the dyno runs keep me on the edge of my seat, and I allways learn something.
This was a joy to watch, thanks Nick for sharing with us all. I can see with the right tool, "tweaking" will never get old.
I live in the Philippines but I’m an American & I came up on videos of Nicks Garage & I like watching Nick with great knowledge on building engines.Good Man.I’m from Texas in the States originally.
I watch this video and it make me just feel - wow. Nick got 410 hp and 490 tq out of that big block engine. That was a lot of power in those days. It makes me appreciate what I have in the garage. I have a 2017 Camaro SS1 with 455 hp and 455 tq out of a 376 cu in (6.2L) engine. That's a whole lot of power from a stock small block.
The 440 410 hp is SAE-gross which means 330 hp in the car.....not even close to your 455 net. Any 2019 Dodge with 5.7 puts out 375 net and will beta this 440 on the street.
Well done Mr Nick, you achieved what the client desired.👍🏻
Congratulations. Your patience and expertise prevailed yet again. I wonder if you had put on the'70 model manifold what would happen. The Edelbrock dual plane was the key though. Great job. I've seen this one twice. One of my favs. Some sort of falloff mid range. Ignition?
Nick I love the channel and Work you Do, I was born in 1965 in Flint Michigan, My Dad Drag Raced Super Stocks, I grew up around Muscle Cars and Old Hot Rods my (Pop) that's what we Called Him Has been Gone 3 Years this Oct, I Miss him Very Much, I feel Good Watching and thinking about all the Cars and Hours Out in the Garage, I still have the 72 Nova my Dad helped me get when i was 16, I have a 327 out of a 67 vette, it's pushing 500hp, steel Crank pink Rods SPS Rod bolts 11.5 to 1 compression and TRW high domes the heads are milled and have Speed Pro Valves, balanced and blue printed, Keep up the Great Work!!!

I just found Nicks Garage and I can’t stop watching them. They are awesome!!
Welcome!
Almost 409.8 almost 410 HP with the original breather, Wow! Awesome job Nick. 👍
409 hp is a GROSS rating...means 335 hp SAE-NET as installed in the car---40 less than a 2019 5.7 V-8. Big deal.
Something satisfying about watching the paint burn off of those manifolds. Love watching these videos being a big mopar fan this show is great.
What would happen if the parts to be painted were heated up just before applying the paint? 🤔
Good job Nick. Keep doing videos. My father has a 67 Coronet 500 convertible w/440, it is a show car. It is a show car, Dairy Queen show car. The 440 needs good rebuild. I may bring it to Nick.
I got that book “How to rebuild a small block Mopar”. I rebuilt a 273.
Take care Nick.
This show is getting better and better even though it started out very good.
I love that you never give up. Do you want 400, it will get to 400. 👌👌
400 hp on a bench is GROSS rating..which means 330 NET rating installed in the car. The 2019 5.7 puts out more at 375 NET.
@@chadhaire1711 that is true. But the 440 has over 100 lbft more torque than the 5.7
@@chadhaire1711 Do you simply use a 15% reduction factor to go from gross to net, or is the formula more complicated?

Who are the 48 people who didn't like this? Keep up the very informative and educational channel! Always interesting! Great Job.
Probably mustang drivers.
A tip for all the gear heads out there using cleaners all the time, get some charcoal infused soap it removes the chemicals from your skin after you work. the charcoal or carbon in the soap combines instantly with hydrocarbons and washes it away. Walmart has it , its called tomato soap, 4 $ a bar,
best old trick , if u got a parts cleaner use mineral spirits.
hi Nick, every Tuesday here on the east coast of Australia, the big highlite of my morning is watching Nicks Garage. Todays 50 minute episode went really fast. I know Mike won't get a bolt in his cylinder this time, that's for sure ! Thankyou Nick to you and your Team :)
After the cam is broke-in it’s a good idea to pop the valve covers off, mark all push rods with nail polish in the same position and fire the engine up and at idle, see if your push rods are slowly turning. If they aren’t, then the rod that isn’t turning will be the cam lobe that will be wearing.
John. You are correct. Good point.
This show was awesome! Congrats this one will be remembered! 🇨🇦
Awesome job as always nick I knew you would make over 400 thanks for the great video and always being down to earth have a great week nick
A BIG fan of you mate.. i put a turboed 440 with all the good bits into a 15ton truck i built and OHG Propane gear,, what a rocket at 22PSI... Just love Mopar, this was one hell of a vid, watched every second.. Thank you so much. Eddie Australia
Thanks, Eddie.
Nice build on the 440 well-done Nick
This program is awesome!!! Methodical testing with results of the adjustments and changes made... Fun guys to be around too!!! Keep-up the good work!!!
i in joy seeing your shows keep it up
I like the fact that Nick is a hemi guy but is passionate bout all makes and sizes of engines.
I remember well the days when the local police ran 440 Magnums in their Polaras, etc. They had a very distinct tone which I could recognize quite easily, and that saved me from at least one arrest...
It was the "Factory original wing nut" that gave it the final 10 hp.
Right on.
Back when I was growing up. My brother bought a 1969 Plymouth Fury 3 with
.. a 440 Super Commando. It was a Ex Texas state highway patrol car. Big old four-door Beast not sure how much horsepower it had .. but I cannot tell you how many muscle cars my brother out ran on top end on the highway. It would run 140 mph. It must been high geared. It was a beast
Now it's better than factory with a stock look ! I'm in heaven with this set up this motor will outlast all of us ! More Hp than a stock 6 pack
This 440 real hp is 330 net...a 5.7 is 375 net.
Making mondays great again, now I can watch! ,like applied!

Holy cow NICK!!
Who knew that your channel would grow this fast - and thanks to Video Dude, this dang SLICK!
A 50 minute episode? You gotta be kidding me! Man, so freaking awesome...
A stock 440 Magnum with manifolds? Yep, right up my alley.
Mine also is pretty mild (except for the Direct Connection 484 cam, of course) and I also am running
that particular Edelbrock AND the famous "unsilenced" air cleaner, just like that one you're using.
Yes, the '68 intake holds things back a little and yes, I should go with something like the Performer
440 (which is getting to be a hard intake to find!).
I was nervous that the air cleaner would be awful on the dyno, but lo and behold, it wasn't! :-)
I'm very thankful you tried it and relieved to see the results.
I need to try more advance on my own timing, looks like. 37 total, eh? Ok, I'm game.
I keep saying it over and over....
Best dang garage on CZcams! Darn good people in it, too. The best.
I'm a Patreon subscriber from day 1 and wish that MORE people would do the same!
Now, I'm off to buy a new Nick's Garage tee shirt. Sorry, I sort of got the last one dirty.... :-)

**At least 20 of those horsepower can be attributed to the engine being painted in a color that's relatively close to Ford blue....(Lol). Remember, he did another video of a STOCK Ford 351 Cleveland that was factory rated at 300hp, but actually made 352hp and just under 400ft/lbs. Ford made a higher performance 351C that same year, rated at 330hp, which probably put out more like 385-390hp in reality. Maybe it's time to start installing Ford and Mopar engines in your Camaros, Novas, Chevelles! **
Thanks so much Nick for sharing this awesome video. 401.3 a cool number indeed. Looks like bigger runners did the job. Thanks for sharing, what is the coolest channel on the Web Nick.✋👍
401 Hp on the bench is a GROSS rating that means nothing.....installed in the car, it is 330 hp sae-net, which is 45 hp less than the 2019 5.7 V-8 at 375.
Amazing engine, amazing skills my friend. People admire you and let me tell you...you deserve more and more good things! Keep on muscle!!!
Am somewhat of a purist myself, but when it comes to intakes..and even headers, I can handle aftermarket parts, as pretty much everybody back in the day changed out carbs/intakes/exhaust, as a young guy then I was helping do them. Great video as always, and that Coronet is going to be sweet, please show it before it leaves the shop.
Thanks mr. NICK. The ENGINE looks fantastic.
Nick, Great show I love it, I am and old school Chrysler nut, my dad was a master mechanic for Chrysler in the late 60s your show with 68 500 the 440 with oversized bearings the factory would put stamping on ID pad next to distributor. If it has a Maltese cross or a diamond next to 440 that ment oversized bearings done by factory. Don’t know if that was something you didn’t know about Chrysler! Keep the love going!
Sounds good Nick
Good tune.
You have a great channel Nick, I look forward to every new video. Eventhough I have a new challenger, I love watching you bring the classic back to life.
Thanks Nick love you guys!!!!
