what a refreshing change of pace from all the current news right now thank you

Thank you Steve for explaining everything that you're doing and the history.

Steve is a walking encyclopedia

Great to see old school , nothing fancy , working on the floor with hand tools,, like when I was a kid. So many youtube videos with huge sponcers shops, lifts, dynos , twin turbo motors, etc.. they leave us simple people feeling like this hobby is out of reach..

I have all of those luxuries at the shop I work at, but when I get home, my son and I work on our cars the old fashioned way. The only time we use the air compressor is for pumping up tires or blowing the dirt off of something. It's all hand tools and floor jacks for us. My son will learn the way I did.

It's a real pleasure watching and listening to you while you work. A fountain of information on all things Mopar. Thanks very much from Nicaragua.

I'm so glad I found out you had a channel. You and Jay Leno are my favorite personalities on the tube and tv! 👍✌🏁

awesome! this is exactly the thing i wanted to see from you Sir..This will bring folks to your channel,you have that talent of mixing information and the hands on work very well....keep it up!!!

The obsolete paperwork story reminded me of when I worked at a GM dealership in 1989. I worked 1/2 day after school doing oil changes and cleaning the shop. One day I was sent upstairs to storage for some odd box of something and I noticed old paper, brochures, posters, etc. I wish I would have loaded up a few boxes of that stuff. With ebay and the rest of the internet that stuff might be worth something today. It went back to the late 70's.

No more coffee for you mister! Love the energy, enjoying the series very much!

I love it that Steve is not using air tools. I wish I had some though.

It’s refreshing to see someone actually use a ratchet! So many use power tools, it’s like their arms don’t work ! Best car show on the web, period.

Good grief - for a boneyard engine that thing looked CLEAN inside……!!!! But as you said - “so far”…….😂

Glad you have found time to begin work on your car Steve.

I could listen to Steve nerd out all day!

Thanks for saving those important and very necessary papers. I love reading engineering and promotional materials, just priceless!!! This build will be EPIC!!!

it's awesome that you have all the magazines and articles in paper form. makes it more real than the digital world. great vid.

What’s up Steve? It seems like you don’t check your comments much. I reccomend it, it feels good to see others reactions to videos and it keeps the algorithm rocking! Thanks for inspiring me.

Steve, you and I are the same age, I grew up in Westboro a mile as the crow flies from the speedway. I attended many a demo-derbys there as a wee lad and watched many an engine overheat till they blew, it's possible the driver of the car your 440 came from was black flagged out of competition. I'm really enjoying the channel, the content and loving the direction of this build. See you next time.

You probably remember the "unauthorized acceleration contests" (street racing) at the A&M Complex (Frye Boots and other industries) in Marlboro on Sunday afternoons? I loved going there to watch. THANKS for writing, Steve Magnante

Steve, more great content. Pretty sure electronic ignition started MY 1972.

I enjoy hearing you talk about mopar, yo are so knowledgeable on Chrysler dodge and Plymouth, and when you were working with the Barrett Jackson you did a great job explaining all the cars on the block, thanks for your enthusiasm its contagious

I am not a Mopar person, but these videos are excellent 👌

I am in the process of restoring 1965 coronet 440 . Installing 1975 HP 440 and A833 4 speed. Working on it for a year and a half . I sell parts at Chrysler Carlisle show and seen you there many times over the years. Thanks for the great information and videos

The knowledge that pours out of you while you're stripping that engine is just stunning! The only thing that holds you back is the size of your lungs because you have to stop talking to breathe in. Fantastic video, loved it. Learnt so much in this video.

Lots of info but I wonder if anyone noticed only one break during filming. ONE TAKE JAKE gave us 6 minutes then 7 minutes without a screw-up. Phenomenal. Steve you are the man! Thank you.

Well done Steve! One thing I'm guessing, you never smoked cigarettes in your life! I was having a hard time keeping up in this engine disassembly contest! I only managed to remove the wingnut from the air cleaner in the time allotted. You are the king of the one take car video! A consummate professional! You jampack an hour's worth of info in 13 minutes. I know I couldn't do that. Relax in a comfy chair & chug some Gatorade. Gotta keep your electrolytes up.

@@SteveMagnante You are very welcome. I've been following you since your time at Hotrod magazine. I started reading Car Craft & Hotrod in 1987 when I got my first car, a 1973 Pontiac Ventura Sprint. The "how to" & tech articles were awesome & very informative & helped me have a big advantage over my friends who didn't read car magazines. The knowledge I obtained encouraged me to go to Lincoln Tech in 1996 & I've been a professional heavy duty truck mechanic since 1997. In some ways I owe my career to you & your cohorts from back in the day.🤘

Saw a 413 cross ram in 1963 inLA More fun to ride in it

Jensen Interceptor SP (Six Pack) were produced for model years 1971, 1972 and 1973. A total of 271 were made . The Six Pack 440 lived on until 1973 in a production car. Cool.

I have some of the Direct Connection manuals for the 440 and 426 hemi. Had them since 1970.

Steve. It’s okay if you take a breath or two during your video. Enjoyed it

The 1967 440 high performance heads were a good improvement over 1966 and flowed within 3% of the 426 Max Wedge heads. The good heads came with a matching taller intake for 67 and newer. The 383 from 68 got good heads and taller intakes for both 2 barrel and 4 barrel versions. Mopar had planned a 6 barrel 400 for 1972, but the low compression and good Thermoquad carb killed it. The Edelbrock low block 6 barrel intake was designed by Mopar, just like the 440 one was. There was a solid lifter 383 with inline 2 4 barrels in 1962. 347 horse power I think. 63 was the last year the 300 letter series came with solid lifters in a 413 and the 64 300 letter series came with a 413 with the new 426 street wedge hydraulic camshaft. Both the 63 solid lifter 413 and the 64 hydraulic lifter 413 HP engines with a single 4 barrel were rated at 360 hp, while the 64 426 street wedge was rated at 365 hp. The standard 413 was rated at 340 hp. The solid lifter 63 413 300 engine got heavier 6-pack connecting rods and larger 1.74" exhaust valves, while the hydraulic lifter 64 version got regular rods and 1.60" exhaust valves. The 426 street wedge got special exhaust manifolds.

Nice to see someone still using a ratchet! Great that you can remove the intake with no coolant evacuation or dizzy removal!

On most Pontiac V8s, one can carefully cut the "water crossover" front section free from the rest of the intake manifold in essence creating a separate water manifold. Doing that & blocking off the heat riser ports on the heads (old soda cans work great) will permit the coolest intake charge possible. One little warning though for us in the north...she will be an unhappy lady in the winter until she warms up.

Great video Steve and with the number of cat litter buckets either you have a cat or you spill a lot of oil. Great content keep it coming.

Get well Steve..!!

yeah pretty clean engine so far, really cool

So this is where you are Steve. Nice i miss your junkyard walkthroughs. You are an encyclopedia of car knowledge

Thank you for sharing your simply amazing knowledge base, we're lucky indeed to have access to it!

Its good you're saving the history !!!

Can't wait to see this come to fruition!

Good stuff Steve that car is going to be so cool when you're done

One of your best videos, awesome job.

A whole host of information. Nice!

I enjoy Steve . So much enthusiasm.

Great episode!! Thanks Steve!!!!!

Wonderful video!

Ok, hooked on this project. Had a 440 mag in a circle dirt track car which eventually spun a bearing, off to the junk yard for a $40 440, swap on my cam, lifters and top end and get 1-5 weeks of use out of it-then repeat. Don't stop with the narration-never to much.

I learn so much from your videos- thanks!

Great job Steve!

FANTASTIC!

Excellent job Steve, loved the history and commentary

Great video! I'd love to see more like this one, I love them all.

Wow, I'm very impressed how clean that top end was inside

Steve always has a fascinating presentation. Yes Steve, I'm not aware of any gm v8's that didn't have the coolant crossover in the intake.

Well done Steve!!!

You know, it's just a vague feeling I get, but I think Steve might like old Mopars.
