Thanks man appreciate it!

For LSA choices, you should watch the last 2 Cattledog garage videos. He explains HOW to get the correct LSA for a camshaft like no one else has. I purchased Billy Godbold's new book and feel that I wasted my money. Cattle Dog does an excellent job. You will find that your 106 choice may not be optimum. Yes, it will work good and the difference will not be 1.000 h.p. but it will perform better at all rpm ranges while using the rest of the lobe specs. LSA is critical for proper cylinder filling and scavenging. The information provided will take complete attention, possibly stopping and rewinding to get a better grasp. Even David Vizard likes the videos and he is probably one of the most knowledgeable guys on the planet. It is a shame about his daughter and for him to have needed brain surgery, it has affected his recall so he kind of stalls on some of his videos. He has written quite a few books. Your build looks like a nice one and should be fun to drive.

Looks fantastic.

Tdc with both valves closed. Its a 4 cycle engine. U have first the intake stroke, then the compression stroke, then the power stroke, then the exhoust stroke is the last one bringing u back to tdc to start it all over again.

Great damn video

Never really referred to it as the overlap stroke, always intake or in this case exhaust stroke. Overlap occurs at the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke which is TDC of the exhaust stroke which does makes it correct. 👍

Dude I like your attitude and your doing things right you did good with long slot rockers because a lot of guys put performance camshafts in there I don't pay attention with the rocker arms I would have went with the roller tip rockers because you would definitely get just a little bit more horsepower for a just a couple more dollars but that's okay it'll still work good attitude

Even though the tall valve cover are trendy, they don't mean anything performance wise. They just get in the way when working on the carburetor and so on. Shave down the valve spring seats, drill for 7/16 rocker arm studds to cut down on flexing and put regular valve covers on the heads and just like that, a super sleeper. At least that's what im doing with my SBC 350. I have the same heads with 2" intake valves and bigger double springs. Im going to install a 144 blower and be done with it.

That cam works very well if you install it at 106 it has 4 degrees ground into it and use 1.6 rockers used it in many lift rule classes won many races lol

I do like this cam a lot, kinda can’t use all of it in the 3/4 ton truck I put it in but it’s sounds good and runs really good around 4000-5400 rpm. But this engine won’t be in this truck forever and when it comes out it will probably end up in car.

I adjusted my lash while it was running. I would back it off till I heard tapping and then adjusted till it just stopped and called it good.

There is only one TDC per cylinder. I did know that term but it has been so long since I have even thought about it. I need to look that up and see if I can find it. If I can find my old Detroit specs, and shop tech books, there is also a dolly position and four or five other position terms about the piston and rod and when your pouring sand molds it is very important I will let you know, you know there is bdc and tdc then intake compression power exhaust. You know you do a great job simple easy I like it good great job Docakasevenonefour

Just use some Permatex liquid teflon on the head bolt threads and your good to go. Also you don't want paint on your intake gasket sealing surfaces. SBC is a great motor to learn on. Good work!

hell yea brother

You guys are awesome to watch! Where are you guys located?

Nice!

10:24 you should get in the practice of never putting a liquid into a dead end hole as in some application the bolt going in could hydro the hole and cause a crack. maybe not on the cam like you did but still good practice, just put the loctite on the bolt thread, dont even put it on the end of the bolt, cheers

Excellent video. Are those head bolts just standard bolts that use a 9/16 socket? I have a 97 350 vortec that uses the torque to yield bolts and I was going to switch to standard bolts if they work?

I have noisy timing gears as well

@BoneyardRevivals

Жыл бұрын

Thanks, this cam worked out reasonably well especially with it being in a 3/4 ton truck with a 2,000 stall converter and 3.23 rear gears in the truck. Duration dramatically effects what rpm the engine make peak numbers at and with the application being a truck motor, it makes zero sense to have a motor of this application make peak power at 6-8k rpm. This cam was a happy medium of it sounds nasty and performs well but it isn’t over kill.

Do you use vortec gasket when you put vortec heads on a 2nd gen sbc?

Good video, good coverage of the assembly, motor looks good, just need a dyno ticket to she what she really does. Highly recommend going to a stiffer rocker, those factory style tend to flex with aggressive cams and you loose valve train stability (mainly at higher RPM). Regardless, should be a great little mill.

Woulda been sweet u coulda created a list with links😁

Do you have any idea what it might make if it had AFR heads vs the vortec heads? Just curious what the difference might be

His answer was basically no because it cut the access lube off as it went into the cam bearing.

You can get every bit as accurate and good quality from other names. Gearworks tools is a nice quality wrench for way way less money, the biggest difference is it won’t have that name on it.

Now that’s a hard question to answer but for everything that is there in a basic motor build we have around $3,200 from buying it to putting together the cylinder heads cam and intake. Now I can add in all little the odds and ends that I personally bought or went with for my application and that I slammed this thing together to go on power tour. Like I spent good money for the dress up kit and a bunch of other little tidbits. But for the nitty gritty here is the bare bones motor we have about $3,200 into it. Which is completely respectable in our opinion.

The hydraulic roller gm hot cam (the one with .480 lift) an air gap intake and a junk 750 carb can make 422hp. My 383 stroker with bone stock vortec heads and a .477 single pattern cam made 467hp. I added 1.60 exhaust valves and made even more power. What rock have you been living under. A gm crate engine has 8.5:1 compression, 76cc chambers with 624/882 heads and that baby small cam it has can make 322hp with a set of long tube headers and a good intake and carb. Take the peak flow number and double it. So a vortec can flow around 228-232. Let’s say 230cfm on the intake. That’s 460 total. With the right parts those heads are capable of 460 hp give or take a few numbers based on exhaust flow numbers and the parts used together. A bad cam can make a good set of heads look bad. But a good cam can make a bad set of heads look amazing. If a baby gm hot cam can make a 9.3:1 motor make 422hp imagine what a 11:1 motor can make with a lot bigger cam. I’ve not seen a motor with vortec heads that made less than 300hp even with the tbi exhaust manifolds and 2 inch exhaust. Don Terril made over 500hp with a 307. It had a set of old truck flow 175cc runners and a huge cam but don’t ever underestimate a small block. Even the smaller cubic inch motors.
