You are correct.

I had a friend who built dirt track engines and had an interesting technique. While an engine was running, he leaned his belly on the driver-side valve cover, placed his left hand on the passenger valve cover, turned his left ear towards the timing chain/gear, and looked down the carburetor. With one pull, he could quickly zero in on a problem. I saw him sort out a Hemi drag car that way. In a few seconds, he was able to show the owners that the builder had left break-in springs on the valves. Fortunately, it ran so bad it had not hurt itself on the track. Love your content Nick. My late dad was French Canadien. You remind me of him.

NHRA Stock class racing is THE best racing. Very interesting that the base plate was so effective. I’ll bet that Phil is one intense dude at the track. I had a Bracket car for several years. Loved the competition.

The air filter base keeps the air straight before it's pulled into the carburetor. The additional air gets the carburetor a better signal, causing a rich condition fixed by going down on the jet size.

I remember the kids I worked with at Gratiot Auto Supply 40 years ago used to call it "L de Brock". They also recommended "Percolator" air filters. And we carried "Hard Wood" hood scoops. Pronounced "Ed' ul brock" "Purr o lator"... and Harwood.

Great picture of Nick and his brothers! As an only child, I can only imagine the love and bond between brothers, especially when they share the same passion.

Thank you brothers that’s my favorite engine in the whole world someday I hope to own one I love the 70 barracuda friend of mine had one in high school go to 340 was like driving on ice I can’t imagine of 426 hemi that kind of power just amazing God bless

Sure can tell you guys are brothers.Hemi on the dyno a good 4th of July present.

Nick I love seeing the big orange air cleaner , reminds me of the air grabber I had on my old 69 roadrunner, 440 4 barrel. Love it. I was working under my hood one day facing the street and a guy drove by, stopped and backed up just to ask me if that was a hemi lol. He saw the big oval air cleaner top . Good old days

Nick you have the most intense look when you are firing up the first test… burning holes in the glass… keep up the good work!!!

Wonderful show. Thanks for the family history and pictures. Heart warming to watch you and your brother work together in the shop. And, some additional education imparted to us viewers about the headers. I've always been a Mopar man and have owned three 440 magnums a 383 and a 340. Always wanted a 426 HEMI. Back around 1976, Rick Finch the Bass Player for KC & The Sunshine Band bought 2 HEMI's that were for sale in Miami before I could. I met Rick but I never owned one. A 1966 HEMI Charger that belonged to a close friend of mine, and a 1970 HEMI Charger. Best Regards to you both and Keep On Winning!

I built a hemi way back when i was a teen. It took me 3 years to complete, having life commitments i bought every peice pay cheque after pay cheque when there was extra and saved from extra to buy the peices. I had the block gave to me. It had a peice broke on the pan flang where a rod went out. I welded in the three peices, too the block to the high school and durring my night classes i machined the pan flange, and the head serfaces. As well as drilled and treaded bigger bearing bolts and head studs. And the teacher machined cam ends and made caps so i had thrust bearings for end play loss. He als cast my blower box for me. I used a 671 gm blower on it with a 850 cfm carb. Having the school machine shop and teacher help the build was awesome. It began just a broke 1968 426 cast block.

Seeing you and Philip working together in the Dyno room discussing what you wanted to try next brought back a lot of fond memories from the 60's, working on engines, and trying to find those elusive few HP that would make the difference at the track. The new stainless steel headers should make a difference on the Dyno, and help get the Hemi the extra HP. I know that the HP & torque numbers were over 600, which is very good for an engine with stock specs. Great job Nick and Phil, I know that you will have a winner when the Hemi is done.

My favourite V8 of all time being dyno'ed by my favourite engine man, Thanks You Nick and co. From a Fellow Greek abroad in Melbourne, Australia. Oppa !

In 1964 on a secret five mile long test track in Texas, Chrysler Corporation had been testing a new version of its hemispherical-head 426 V-8 engine. Word had leaked out that on the strait ways the massive power plant was pushing the the slippery Plymouths and Dodges at unheard of speeds of of over 185 mph, about 20 mph better than the competition was running at super speedways at Daytona. The Petty's installed the new engine in their 1964 Belvedere and promptly found out after a few practice laps that the head gasket was leaking. The crew discovered the block wasn't quite big enough to cover the gasket on the cylinder head. They quickly set about heating brass and welding it to make the block fit up with the gasket and cylinder head. Richard Petty went on to win his first Daytona 500 with the only available Hemi to them at the time. Richard Petty later went on to win his first Grand National Championship for the 1964 season with the new Hemi engine.

Being Canadian, these guys make me miss the Nordic drawl when I lived in the U.P. of Michigan....ya knowh........yah eh.....you betcha!

So you said you are running the original cast iron rockers. Is there anything in the rules that would prevent you from using OE style rockers made from lightweight components like titanium? Lighter valve train components typically allows the engine to rev higher and therefore means more power on the top end.

That is correct. As long as the max intake lift is .490, any lobe design is ok in the Stocker class. In many cases they do not allow titanium yet. And now we are allowed to use after market rockers. But we are still running the factory cast iron rockers for now.

A.R.H (American Racing Headers) makes a VERY nice set of Stainless 304 headers for popular Chassis/Engine combos. They are $1500, but worth it. They have merge collectors built in, nice thick flanges, and come with band clamps for collector extensions. I got a set for my G-Body Cutlass with a big block Olds, 2" tubes, 3.5" collectors, and they are the nicest fitting and performing set of headers I've ever installed on the car. With the starter out, and the oil filter off, they both slid right in from the bottom with no effort. They are WAY better than the goofy $900 Hooker Super Comp 1 7/8" with the 2-piece design that has the one tube that wraps around the frame. Being stainless, it'll be the last set of headers you'll ever buy also.

My first car was a 36 Plymouth coupe it had a 331 hemi at 411 my father gave it to me he brought it off a car lot in Modesto California in 1958
