I've seen pump gas 496 that make more power than this on one carburetor versus 1 carburetor on your 572

I can't believe it! I just went and checked behind my wood pile, and there next to some old greasy parts was a GM 572 block with chickens living in it! I moved some old sheets of iron and there in a mouse nest was a complete rotating assembly with 4340 Callie's crank and rods and je pistons. Stuck in the fork of my shade tree was a pair of GM heads freshly ported by Livernois motorsport! I ran in the house to tell my wife and tripped over a tunnel ram on my front door step! While lying on the ground I saw a pair of QFT black diamond carbs in a Ravens nest! While climbing the tree to get to the Ravens nest I grabbed a branch which was a Crane 4/7 swap solid roller! When I got out the tree the wind blew away some dead leaves exposing all other required valve train, carb and other small parts! All I had to do was go and look! Well I'll be damned...

The oiling system in a Caddy 500 sucks ass. Spin that thing over 5K too many times and you'll spin the bearings right out of it.

I'm so glad that says "Cam swap". Lol

I wonder if powernation does a tribute build with their spare parts for people that want a little more horse out of their vehicles passed down through loved ones who passed away

With 93 octane they should have bumped up compression to about 10:5. That carb and intake is huge and 572 inch should be around 750 horse 700 torque.

I think the headers are a tick small and long. 2.250 stepped to 2.375 at 10 inches with an overall primary length of 26 inches into a 4 inch real merge collector would be worth some power at 5500rpm and up. Good episode.

Well I'll be damned... I just went out to check and I do have a stroker kit for my 351w laying around. Thanks for reminding me.

switching 7 and 4 change the sound so much its sick

You guys are doing 572 and of C.I ??? Man i am drooling from eyes, nose, mouth..man this is a Gem!!!! An iron 572 block!! Saw one in action on KZread, description was custom 572 8 litre ...and it as sounded so sweet!!

Man very nice.. i live big cubes pump gas NA power.. thing would scream in a lil s10 lol

4/7 swap only works if the distributor is run off the back of the cam. spark is a little more accurate. does nothing for crank trigger. displacement is torque. hp is in the heads.

GUYS WAIT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEAR IT DOWN !! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST GIVE ME THE ENGINE AS IT IS SETUP RIGHT NOW WITH A BOW AND SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!

I like You guys and your builds. I truly wish you would put more timing in your dyno runs. Sure there is a perfect timing number for every build or engine design. Typically a big block chevy likes between 36 and 40 degrees. With only 9.6 compression and that huge cam, bump it up and see where peak power is. Thanks for all you do.

This episode was absolutely Beautiful 👌🏾💯

It's a little different not having all new parts, huh? Said no man ever!

Love it!

Still learning. The last engine we rebuilt we assembled the parts to recommended ft pounds and discovered that the recommendations were pound foot after the assembly. Why would anyone create such confusion? The engine basically fell apart during break in. Bewildered. Please help

Yes, we ALL have parts and new 572 big block just gathering dust...

Should have tried a set of AFR cylinder heads with the single 4bbl intake. Also the compression is way too low for cams this big, giving away a lot of power here. My guess is that the cranking compression is not very high due to the long cams.

I have a stupid question that I've always wondered about. Why are some big roller cams copper between all the lobes? Do they copper plate them before grinding everything in, and why?

@Icutmetal

Its got a dismal 9.7-1 compression. I'm pretty sure its plenty safe. That big block wants some timing folks!

Tuning changes are made, but then you also raised the pull RPM. Horsepower is going to increase based on just that. Why not keep rpm sweep the same, then make tuning adjustments?

Wonder what that 572 will do with forced induction.

They use solid roller cams because they like to spin the engines higher. In the RPM ranges they always run, a hydraulic lifter would pump up at high RPM causing the lash to be grossly out of spec. For the average street engine with occasional drag strip passes hydraulic lifters would suffice.

Legit question: what is the advantage of using a belt instead of chain for timing? Wouldn’t that be a failure or more frequent required maintenance part in lieu of a chain set once?

@mindeloman

4 жыл бұрын

I never ran one myself but i believe the benefit is more precise timing control and easier adjustment. A belt doesn't have all the slack a chain has with all of its individual links. Temperature is less of a factor on a belt. Plus the number of teeth on the belts makes it easier to move cam timing in smaller increments. And since all the oil is sealed-off behind the rear cover, timing changes do not nessistate gaskets. It really isn't practical nor affordable for street application. It's a great piece of hardware for bracket racers or other guys who need consistency at every hole shot. That's armchair knowledge. There's probably others that will chime in and give you better information than me. Good day.

@TwentytenS4B8

Timing chains stretch no matter what the construction. High RPM magnifies this effect. Cog belts don't stretch. Gear drives are another example of having the precise timing control at higher RPM due to timing components that do not stretch.

The tunnel ram cranks out big numbers everywhere in the range...except you just showed it making 30 less numbers everywhere under 6 grand. Which means it sucks on the street, especially when most people go big block for low rpm numbers. Try a dual plane with dual 500's or so and watch that thing make torque.

@TwentytenS4B8

The guys on Engine Masters have proven this over and over again that long runner intakes like a tunnel ram are horrid on the street and are best reserved for high RPM racing applications which is what they were designed for.

for those of you wondering... that 4-7 cam swap doesn't really make any horse power difference all it does is allow for better cooling and possibly better balance in the firing order.. its a trick but its not much of a trick... most people won't be able to take advantage of (or feel) any gain which is only about 4% maximum with an average much less depending on the engine size.
