    I mean I get it’s a big block 454/7.4L V8 and by todays standard of HP per liter it’s not “all that” but geez I’d hardly consider that “a dog” 465HP/537Tq is nothing to scoff at, that’s still would still be a pretty stout street motor, that would still WALK about 90% of the normal cars you pull up next to at the red light (obviously it probably couldn’t run against a newer ZL1 Camaro, GT500 Mustang, Hellcat, etc) but even with the lowest/1st Dyno pull it’s still stout. ESPECIALLY if you have the right diff gearing (3.73, 4.10, 4.56) add all that together in a relatively lighter weight car and you’ve got something that would still definitely be a blast to drive. Not trying to be negative/hate on the video it was a great video as always! Engine masters is definitely one of my favorite series.

    I agree, 537 ft lbs in street car or C10 with the right gear and converter would be a blast on the street, and put a 150 shot on top of that if you want a little more now and then. Most people wouldn’t know what to do with that much torque in an average street car. 👍🏻

In a 3500 lb camaro it lacked low end torque . I switched to performer rpm intake and then the motor struggled to turn rpm after 5000 switched to gm large oval ports with big valves and dart open plenum intake and that was the way to go. Big difference

    David. Look at air fuel ratio at steady throttle 1700 rpms. If its lean. Increase the primary idle feed restrictions. 0.031 afrs are lean on a 347/355. On a 396/408 you need a 0.034" ifr. A 427 needs 0.036. If you like throttle response off idle that is how its done. Look at primary jetting at 3500 to 3800 rpm.

    okay you 2 lads , how about doing an episode about camshaft notching -- meaning advancing or retarding the camshaft by 1 gear tooth or by 2 or 3 teeth ETC , versus crankshaft timing , i read a story back in the early 2000`s about an engine builder who retarded the camshaft to crankshaft alignment by several teeth , basically he explained that the piston was 60 percent on it`s downward stroke creating suction in the cylinder , then the intake valve opened allowing a denser air-fuel charge to be "SUCKED" into the combustion chamber thus resulting in a lot more torque generated ( he did not though state if the camshaft was a custom grind , probably was but just a factory grind maybe .

Could you please send a link to that video so that I can share it? By the way, I love your show.

    Now the 2 manifold gaskets on the Edelbrock Performer throws me. I have just rebuilt a Mark IV 454 with 820 oval port heads. When I try to run it, it will not run, it seems there is a massive vacuum leak. If I work the accelerator it will stay running above 2,000 RPM, but dies quickly when let off. I tried 3 carbs, 2 fuel pumps, and 2 distributors, so they aren't the problem. I have a 7561 Air Gap, and I wonder whern they put that on did they use 2 gaskets, or have the thick ones, or was only 1 used?

    As a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s, you always heard about the 454. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a popular and well known engine, but as far as big blocks go, there's definitely bigger or better one's. For me personally, I would feel like those 454s from the pre EFI era just didn't have the torque for say a quad cab dually. Throw the 632 in there and bore it out 70 over, lol 😂.

    I am happy there was a new roadkill episode. It feels like motortrend has stopped making roadkill garage, faster with fin, and HRG. I miss DED so badly, as well as the two extras!! I wonder if MT will ever make another 3k hooptie challenge, or cheap truck challenge? It seems like the only shows active on MT now are million dollar builds. MT had become so unrelatable, we all enjoy a good fantasy build once and awhile, but all the good shows that i enjoy and relate to, and learn from now, are on youtube. I was going to cancel my membership which i have had since the first day, but i just realized every MT magizine ever is on the ap. I think the CEO and whoever else is in charge of the show productions needs to go back and read the magizines as well, the unlimited budgets on all the new shows are so far out of touch from what the magizine always has been. Maybe MT only wants to appeal to millionaires. If you watch any UA/ corporate ceo retreat, that is very obvious.
