That 496 will look very good under the hood of my 1969 CST/10 396!!!

I love watching power nation

Vizard has a 496 combo with 236/240* cam and TFS 280 oval port heads. 721 bhp and 711 lb-ft. Your 498 can use an even smaller cam with those big ports (106* LSA).

My 96 caprice would shake the streets with this engine

Love to see the dynos match up! “That means everybody’s stuff is right”

Awesome engine guys. Really nice paint job!!!!

Big block I love you.

Great color combo

Awesome show guys

I am entering every chance I can. My '69 Chevelle always needs more power.

5.4K+👍's up P N thank you for sharing 😅

Definitely drop that into a 79 Coupe de Ville and watch peoples reaction to this one.

Thank you for including the season/episode number in the title.

Simply awesome guy’s 👍🏻

Power Nation Tattoo... Please believe iT ! !

Hell yeah

That's a mean Mustang with near 1000 at the wheels! Also, can someone install that big block in my Trail Boss? 😂

Great video

635 horse is pretty good for an NA motor, even an 8-liter. And it makes like 70-80% peak torque right off idle. That's what ya gotta love about big-displacement American V8's - they're just brute strength in engine form.

I wanna slide this in my 1931 Ford model A. And do wheelies with it leaving cars and coffee 😂

Im keeping my 496 in the 750hp setup in my 81 camaro i can afford to loose a few ft lbs of torque

@PowerNationTV. Nice works guys! But I have a genuine challenge for you. Either a GM series 2 3800 S/C of course (but that’s simple) OR a 4.0L L47 NORTHSTAR! The 4.0 is the one with racing pedigree and we all know how Cadillac loves to race. Can you guys build an ITB Indy style DOHC V8. The architecture of the northstar is very similar to the Atlas/family 4200, The same old small/big block builds gets really stale.

Used to push barges full of race and jet fuel from one refinery to another 2 miles away, Conoco to citgo lake charles,and they'd add their own additives and sell it... People think every company makes their own fuel,but a lot of them trade back and forth every day.

Beautiful engine would look beautiful in my stepside 🔥 I need to watch all the videos of this engine

We used to run the mark 4 marine blocks,bored to 468,with tunnel ram 1050's, a glide and big stall,and it ran hard. Once we switched to LS7's though,there was no going back,like night and day.

I have to say, you guys have my dream job.

It's Four hundred& 96ci "big block" American made. Originally a GM 454ci ...different crank and rods, (that you can buy with pistons, in a 454 stroker kit) I dunno if you 😂 were trying to be funny. If you were.... I DONT GET IT, IM SURE NOBODY ELSE BUT A GEARHEAD POSER, ...MIGHT LAUGH, (BUT THEY ARE CONFUSED TOO)...The only V engine anyone is going to find smaller than maybe 160ci (never a 'big block) Is a V Twin

Loved the different iterations... Would have loved to have seen what it would have made with a spacer I'm sure a racy engine will get a hood scoop of some sort... Also I think that the hp/tq curve would have looked better/flatter if you would have put the EFI back on, would make tuning it easier, better drivability, better starting, and best of all more power. Just saying 😉

@loganh2233

9 ай бұрын

That’s actually incorrect. Carburetors make a squeeze more power. Fuel from a carburetor runs through the intake and cools the intake air making a little bit more power. You don’t get that effect with port injection.

Man that 496 would look sweet in my 91 Comanche. It's just a garage Jeep anyways, I go to NAPA and the restaurant now and then just to show off....lol

I gotta have one 🔥🏁 496 that is

I am entered to win. My Nova would love that engine!

I need this for my '85 bronco.

I would love that 496 big block. But I'm not that lucky.

i pray that Pat will adopt me one day and help me with my v6 mustang ...

I'm surprised Pat even bothers with ear plugs,cause you know he's old school snd probably can't hear shit lol when i was a kid we raced a 68 camaro,468 tunnel ram, and noone even thought to give us ear protection, and you know it's loud when your eyes vibrate lol

NOOO..... You broke up the twins!!!!! I wanted to see the out come of timing the cranks... Damn guess the internet will forever bench race the idea.

I see a sneaky pete bottle behind you Pat. Throw it on quick and see what it can do, lol.

So 104 centre line . Does that make this cam shaft 8 deg advanced ? Also explain peak hp at 6200?

I could use that engine right now

Sure would look nice under the hood of my truck. Pbly get better mileage than the 4.3 too. lol

Great build, but can you do a big block for torque and fuel economy for a suburban ot gas 3/4 pick up

@msh6865

Big block and fuel economy are words that don't work well together. It's the price of displacement.

💯💯💯💯💯💯

I could be wrong

😆 I Think everything is gonna be ok , BCUZ OF ... What's going on in Bama 😆 😂 !

If you change the camshaft it's not the same short block I would think

My 2006 Silverado came with the 496ci. What do you guys think of the Raylar kits for the 496ci, 8.1L? If you read the comments?

Will this fit on my 1978 CHEVROLET NOVA, SEDAN?????

👍

Thought it was gonna be a Geo motor

Why doesn't Pat tell jokes anymore? I've gotten some good ones from him

Please build the new 7.3 Godzilla engine ford has. Seen a few different builds already but want to know what it makes NA. Would love to build one and run as a big block dirt modified

It varies by 40 lbs/ft over a 3,000 RPM range (3,000 to 6,000). How is that not considered flat? 🤔

where is that accessory drive from?

Frankie: "That's a flat torque curve...I like building engines with a flat torque curve 'cause they just kind of carry..." The graph looks like the Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster. Functionally, the curve is fine, but that sounds ridiculous. Maybe he should have gone off-script at that point.

Why such a big cylinder head on that combo?????

Whats up with that massive torque dip at 41/4200 rpm? Thats not cool.

Take the turbo off and then ask

But 4 cams are too complicated

At only 9 cubes bigger , the 505 mopar they built made more hp & tq with a better power curve. It’s easy to see why the bbc wasn’t competitive against the mighty 426 Hemi.
