Edelbrock had the O4B dual plane, a step up from the stock c i. intake & Offenhauser had a tunnel ram & a single/ dual quad version which helped airflow to the c.i. stock A-F heads. Mondello was THE king of Olds heads modifications to help make those intakes to work.

VACUUM ADVANCE: Disappointed to see two supposedly 'pro' engine builders thinking that a leaky vacuum advance hose is going to steal all their horsepower. At 12:15, he says he's found the problem, in that the leaky hose is 'preventing the distributor from pulling full advance' and insinuating that this is the root issue why they are missing some 100+ hp. Perhaps we should review how & when vacuum advance works and what it's for. (Please forgive the following cut-n-paste from an article I wrote some years ago for a local gearhead newsletter) -Two advance mechanisms in most older points type and HEI distributors: mechanical advance and vacuum advance. Mechanical simply relies on engine speed to fling weights around and cause the rotor to pivot a bit opposite the normal direction of rotation and allow the spark to be advanced. Most mechanical advance setups provide about 25° to 35° of total advance (total = initial idle advance setting + the mechanical advance provided at engine speed), generally all in by 3400 rpm or thereabouts. -The vacuum advance works strictly on engine vacuum (either ported vacuum [vacuum above the throttle plates] or manifold vacuum taken straight from the intake manifold...ported vacuum was a BS emissions trick that didn't work worth a crap, so 60's and early 70's muscle cars and engines used manifold vacuum almost exclusively...the ported vacuum engines were mostly mid-to-late 70's and early 80's). Engines only have any appreciable vacuum at idle and small throttle openings, so there's your hint as to 'when' the vacuum advance will be functional. -To dig deeper, know that the ease with which an air-fuel mixture ignites and the speed at which it burns is closely related to how rich or lean the mixture is. A richer mixture lights quickly and burns fast (within reason...a super-rich mix will soak the spark plug and cause a miss). A lean mixture is harder to light and burns slower. If we're talking about a track-only vehicle here, with a big cam that allows little idle vacuum and where the car is being thrashed almost constantly, a vacuum advance is never given a chance to do anything or the engine is incapable of generating any appreciable vacuum. The distributors on many older racing engines don't even have provisions for a vacuum advance canister. -But any car that is regularly driven on the street needs that vacuum advance. Why? Smoother idle, for one (at least with manifold vacuum...ported vacuum setups have no vacuum advance at idle, so their idle might be sucky, especially on a built engine). But the real reason is at highway speed...cruising. Tooling down the road at 60 mph, the throttle is barely open, so the mixture is very lean...which is fine. We don't need a lot of power to cruise down the road. But, if all we have for advance is the 30° to 35° from the mechanical advance, we're getting a crap burn from that lean mixture. It's lighting way too late, and can even cause header & exhaust manifolds to glow cherry-red, as the burn is happening so late it's completing in the heads' exhaust passage and even downstream from there. That's power that is not being used to propel a piston down the bore. That's big power lost and fuel wasted. -So the obvious answer is to use the available vacuum that we get at cruising speed to further advance the timing. The advance unit simply has a rubber diaphragm that connects to an arm that pulls on the breaker plate (or the plate that the HEI triggers are mounted to) and the plate rotates around the center to provide an earlier trigger for the spark. A vacuum advance unit can advance the timing 20° to 25° beyond what the mechanical advance is capable of. So yes, bopping down the highway on a lazy day can mean the timing might be advanced as much as 55° or even more. Lean mixtures under little load can take big chunks of advance with no pinging/detonation issues. Stomp on the throttle, and the intake reverts back to atmospheric pressure pretty much instantly, and timing drops back to whatever the mechanical advance supplies, and no pinging (as long as your fuel doesn't suck). And when it comes to fill-up time, your wallet will thank you. (end article) So you can see why the assertion that a bad vacuum advance hose is stealing horsepower on the dyno is a silly one. The only time there's any vacuum in this case is at idle...the rest of the time the throttle is WFO trying to make lots of dyno horsepower and manifold vacuum is non-existent. Worst-case scenario is they mighta leaned the mixture a tad, but a small vacuum leak like that isn't going to screw you out of 100+ hp. Anyway, sorry for the freaking book here...just seems that with newer cars everywhere no one remembers (or ever knew) what vacuum advance was for or how it works. ✌-out

The only way the vacuum advance would work at WOT is if you connected it to ported vacuum. When it’s connected to manifold vacuum even moderate throttle (under a load) will not produce enough vacuum to move the advance.

ALSO there was typically more cylinder wall thickness to accept a max overbore engine. Getting the EARLY non-Toronado 425 "D" blocks was the key using the normal.842 lifter bore size. If I remember right, all 425's were forged steel cranks & rods. Like a 427 Chevy bb, the engine loved to rev with the under square bore/stroke combo. The major probkem was keeping the majority of the oil down at the crank. Joe remedied the problem with oil restrictors in the main oiling passage to the crank to maximize the flow of oil to the bottom end, thus saving many bottom ends from oil starvation along with higher volume & pressure oil pumps.

From a production standpoint, these guys are TOP NOTCH video producers. Even vloggers (like I used to be) should watch and learn from the production staff that make these videos. Volume levels = Perfect! I'm not riding the volume control. Information flow = Perfect! Concise and to the point. I could go on and on but my food is ready. Later.

I had a one on theses on a jet boat in the mid seventies when I was a kid and gas was cheap. It was said to be high performance 390 horsepower. I don’t how many thousands of gallons of gas I put through it and most of it at WOT. When I sold it, it smoked a bit at start, probably valve guides. It had a Holly spread bore 750 double pumper on it when it came from factory. The only problem I had was the fuel pump had a check valve the would at random times hang up and loose pressure. That drove me crazy because it would work when you tried diagnose. The only mod was a rev limiter so I didn’t have to lift between waves. Dam I beat the heck out of it......and it lived.

If you guys used a torker intake, you could've got the 500 a lot faster.

The best way to adjust valves hydraulic or solid is to roll the crank over, go from cylinder to cylinder and as each intake valve starts to close you adjust the exhaust valve and then when the exhaust valve begins to open you adjust the intake valve. If you have a lot of overlap it ensures your on base circle.

I can tell you guys one thing the Olds 455 makes a really great Tractor motor for pulling blades across your lower 40 and when done makes a great Boat anchor...

I had this motor in my 65 Cutlass back in the late 80's. I had so much trouble getting the rubber seal under the front of the intake manifold stay in. Seemed like once a month I was putting in a new one. Now you guys don't even use a rubber seal. I wish that silicone existed back then. Or maybe it did and I just didn't know about it.

For the record don’t pump up your hydraulic lifters

that olds 455 was one of the fastest motors i ever done tourq moster

4:30 Some people apply a vacuum pump to the oil container. That makes the job go much more quickly. 11:37 Actually it would need to be a little more than 455. I'm not sure what overbore this engine has, but it has resulted in more cubes.

No vacuum at wide open throttle boys.😨

EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL UNTIL THAT SUMMIT 750 CARB CAME OUT

a few years ago I I watched a engine shop trying to get 500 HP out of a lightly built Olds 455 and they had the same intake as this one . they were struggling to get it over the 495 hp mark tell the old man who runs the shop had the idea to use the stock Olds aluminum intake the engine had from the factory. it turned out it had bigger runners and better flow then the fancy modern one. the engine ended up making 525 hp after they changed the new intake for the crusty old one still in the factory gold paint. the owner of the engine was very happy about the power numbers but still had them put the shiny intake on the engine and kept the crusty one for later some people .

Was the engine N/A?

4:00 hot coolant run through the intake so it’s going be hot anyway.

Whoa....stock 455 W 30 supposedly makes 370 horsepower...what cam did they run? Not sure I caught that..Those Edelbrock heads had huge valves....2.19 Int and were they 1.84? exhausts? Hmm, yeah, that manifold could be suspect. Many years ago I built a 455 +.030, stock "C" casting heads, Lunati .570 lift solid cam, with 255 degree @ .050 , 2 inch Hooker headers 800 Holley D.P. Q-jet replacement carb, (spread bore) on an Edelbrock single plane intake. With stock 10.5 to 1 compression, the motor made 485 horses....(don't recall torque). Ran 11.50's at 117 with a 9 inch tire in a 68 Cutlass...

New intake and much bigger carb. Done done.

As I young man I never did get around to playing with cars/engines as I would have liked. Now in my 60s I know I have missed out. Watching this I can't help but think of all the joy that will be missed by youngsters of today as we get away from I.C.E. Worse is the nightmare of young men, sipping lattes, bragging about the virtues of their Transit Passes... P.S: I still haven't got around to building the motorized go kart, I have dreamt of since I was 8 years old. I did buy a brand new 6HP engine about 15 years ago, it is still in the box. Maybe this Year? Also have an '86 Ford Ranger 4x4 I would love to do a total restoration on.....'time keeps on, slippin', into the future.....'

Um... a small vacume leak at the distributor isn't going to effect timing at WOT...you know, when there is almost no vacume. It will lean the engine out slightly though, depending on were the vacume is sourced.
