Thanks for doing a SBC. i'm so sick of the LS stuff. LS and sticking a Coal Rolling Diesel in a car etc. have been way over done. This week on "i have no clue garage" were going to put a 12 Valve Cummins in a Vega and tune in next week were going to stuff an LS in a Shriners Go Cart. What wrong with a SBC ? not a darned thing.
SBC's are awesome engines but a stock ls with a cam and turbo can reliably make 1200+horsepower a conventional small block won't hold up to that kind of abuse on a completely stock long block.
@@justinfee819 this channel is just for motor heads🤦🏼♂️ SME still sheds some useful knowledge for SBE ls guys. And a 12 valve Cummins in a Vega sounds sick 😳🤘🏼 i would support that build and watch every minute. And it’s still SBE if you open up the ring gap 🤦🏼♂️
@@chasekeske4111 I guess I've never seen Steve Morris build a stock short block LS. I don't care what the engine is that's getting built as long as it's getting modified everyone now days wants the easy route to power they just want to throw a turbo on a junkyard LS and don't take pride in learning about building engine's.
@@p.b.sHUNTING Nice thing about a centrifugal.. they can be a little softer down low. Not that hard to launch if you want to do so under or slightly into the boost curve.
Really nice power. That’s got to be one of the best pulley setups I’ve seen. Both the crank and the blower pulleys have more than 180 degrees of belt wrap, and the tensioner holds the long sections in check really well.
These tests have been done before, the blow through carb definitely lowers intake charge temp vs typical runner placed injectors. Your need/preference will depend on your tuning ability and veh use.
@@BEANS-O-MATICtransmissions Do you realize the value of having Steve explain something? We're not asking for a test, were asking for his knowledge on it, and his knowledge is priceless!
I’m pretty sure Steve already did a few videos about blow through carbs. Subscribe to his RUclips channel and start looking they are there. If I’m not mistaken he has done a lot blow thru stuff before the efi stuff became so popular
@@jeremyh9515 A local Camaro owner running Sniper and Procharger on his SBC just torched a piston or two in his engine. Cylinder to cylinder AFR variations seems to be the problem. Carburetors can, and should?, be stagger jetted.
Wow! You build awesome engines steve. Love the old school stuff with todsys tech incorporated into it. I just subscribed to your channel. Good stuff,and very impressive figures right there. Reliable grunt.
I'm always amazed when you step up and do a Gen 1 SBC Steve because I know that you know they are still an incredibly versatile combo when the right attention is applied correctly as you have proven time again 372 inches of ass kicking 1150 HP and almost 8oo LBs of grunt at 6500 in a light drag car combo would still be a highly capable combo ,, Very Nice piece Steve.. Maybe Santa will bring me one so I can unload my 496 ...
Not really the air going through the turbo is hot once the air is compressed it gets hot it is still good to have a intercooler EFI and carb work the same way some go through a TBI or goes through a EFI throttle body
We just did an old school low comp, hydraulic roller 411ci Windsor. Is non-intercooled with a blow thru carb, being force fed by an F1R Procharger. What an awesome little street car package, hey Steve? Simplicity at it's finest! 👍🏻
Great and easy little street car application that you can stop into any gas station to keep rollin' on down the road without the complications of all that electronic & computer controlled gizmos. This thing breaks down on the side of the road, you could still get it home with a hand full of tools from the "jockey-box".
I was over the small block back then but now that the LS has taken over it's nice to see a small block. I never thought I would get excited over a sbc but times have changed and I kinda like them now. The LS platform is great and all but man they are ugly and boring to see under a hood of a classic car or truck unless you spend a bunch of money changing everything from the heads up. Give me a big block for just about any situation but different strokes for different folks.
400 block with a 350 crank... basicly destroked .. so it has steam holes drilled in head for siamese cylinders.... fun fun.. simple and effective... looks internally balanced.. .. good stuff..
Hell yeah Steve love your videos old school with new school tech are you hiring I love this shit I would enjoy working for you and learning your knowledge working for you would be like a little kid working in candy store
I admit I know nothing about engines but I spend all day literally looking at these kinds of videos I give my upmost respect to the fellas in the comments that know their stuff it probably seems second nature to you guys but is like arithmetic to me 🤣
Great video thanks. Very informative. Would like to see another video on ignition timing/advance versus compression ratios using pump and race gas. Thanks! 👍🏻
Thats my dream engine right there, Steve. Verbatim. Been dreaming of a procharged sbc built exactly like this for my chevelle. Wouldn't be hard to coax me into selling a kidney for it. What an amazing piece. Turns out my sbc current combo with 14-1s isn't the friendliest on the street. Especially at 20$ a gallon for Q16 🤷♂️ Still fun though lol
I have a 69 chevelle I like Steve's engines but I'm actually going with Tom Nelson engines when everything is said and done il have 2500 hp outbof a 632 twinn turbo , I want to run it at the texas mile !
Sweet it's nice to be able to do this old school and simple instead of seeing a bunch of these franken motors with dual turbochargers and intercoolers everywhere.
We run a 415 small block (dart based) with a blow through iRD carb. 88/90 turbo on e85. We’ve yet to turn a wrench at the track.controll is with a FT600.
trying my weirdness not needing to pay for it, given a 471 blower, hours of sweating and retrying and retrying modifying a intake i set a blower down on a 302 ford, trying a few good old holey carbs and a couple diffrent cams I did succeed making a pretty sweet little block do not ask HP or such as i never had Dyno's ect, but it did take the little maverik i pushed it into down the strip at a pretty solid 10 second street car. that was way way back in later 1970's and was all built in a garage on a farm. it did make a fun little car to play with and i was happy with it.
My SB Mopar 418 stroker with out of the box 190 runner TF heads made 1065hp running out of fuel at only 6000rpm with a 750 e85 blow through and a F1A at only 12 pounds of boost. Old school can still make good numbers.
Yea buddy. Love that combination for 15 years. Small block on boost is deadly. LS1 is trick of the week stuff for folks without a budget. For less than $9k you can open a can of whoopass on all-comers (at the track of course) with a blower 383, pro-charger and intercooler.
love the gen1 sbc sound, IMO better then the LS. especially the music they make when they are stroked out and built to the Hill! BAD ASS! glad to see its not forgotten by the big guys.. (curious about dyno sheet, its still rocking the 3.5inch stroke in the dyno settings? id wager its irrelevant to the results- )
Love your work man I have a Polaris out law 500 and I want to start competing in iron Man races would you be to take the engine and make it out of billet block and bullit Prof any that you think would brake I would like to double the output it's two wheel drive with irs so it a little on the heavy side but floats through the trails I haven't found anyone that has impressed me like you do, your work is what America used to stand for taking in what you do I hope we get to work together .
awesome looking for all those motor heads drawn in to chasing there tail, Old school iron horse Small blocks are great, I always favored them, but nothing beats a big block when it comes to brut force power. I 'm an old man now, I sit on the side lines. My advise, Keep it simple, don't waste your money, keep to the basic's, way more dependable. keep it close to turn key and you will enjoy it for years,
The sbc can be done on a budget these days. Guys are constantly swapping ls in these days. I picked up a dart block, molnar crank and some other goodies for a grand not long ago. The kid pulled it for a stock 6l ls and I actually felt bad for the guy. But he insisted he was happy to get rid of the old junk 😆
Finding those deals is still the way to go. Lots of questions about cost in the comments, good block/heads/crank out of a catalog approximately the quality in question have a huge range but for those three $10K is not difficult. And that is a long way from a complete running engine let alone with machine shop time, dyno time or a Procharger.
@2:37 , I got a chevy 302 I built 140 1st gen offroad cam solid flat tappet turns 9K+ all day doesn't care , I have built many small blocks with flat tappet solid cams that turn high rpms all day , its not the cam its the valvetrain
Steve at 1:15 you speak about carbs making slightly more outright power than efi and that you may make a a teve tech video about it, if you could do that when you have the time that would be pretty sweet
I love it! I have a small SBC Dart block with Dart Pro1 215’s. I am gonna pull it so I can gap the rings for twin turbo or an F1. It’s a 4340 Liberty crank. Do I have to add a keyway for an F1? I have a Bridgeport. Oh and it’s an ATI balancer.
Quite impressive actually amazing you know your shit bro no doubt wow if someone had told me that a sbc would make them numbers say even 10 yrs ago I would have scoffed and said uh huh not and stay together long but I think you've hit the perfect. Combo great job now can you send me that package ? I treat it nice and feed it well and take care of it probably lol good. Job bruh

@@justinfee819 thats a great thing. Theres choices.
With the greatest respect; what is the appeal of rolling coal? It's unburned fuel and it adds nothing?!.................
1022hp at 7500rpm on 15lbs and pump gas. Very impressive. That’s a stout piece.
2.7 hp per cubic inch in a sbc with 93 octane pump gas is a little more than impressive my friend.
Yea no shit. That’s what i said.
And a small block
Sadly, whatever you put it in will have to be heavy as shit to hook up.
@@p.b.sHUNTING Nice thing about a centrifugal.. they can be a little softer down low. Not that hard to launch if you want to do so under or slightly into the boost curve.
Good old Chevy starter alignment grind... haven't heard that for a while!
Starter is mounted on the dyno not on the engine block.
Really nice power. That’s got to be one of the best pulley setups I’ve seen. Both the crank and the blower pulleys have more than 180 degrees of belt wrap, and the tensioner holds the long sections in check really well.
Love these videos showing the graphs and how it all works ,
The welds on those covers looks amazing
Would fit like a glove in my 56 Chevy truck! Good job! Cheers from TX.
Would love to see a Steve tech on blow thru carb vs blow thru efi!
I second that
3rd that

Nice oil pressure up top. I saw almost 120 there, a perfect little setup. You da man
Love the old school stuff. Thank you.
TBI = Don't even ask us. Brutal.
But yet 2 years ago he was pushing them and selling them.... Would nice to share what went wrong

sounds like it's got nice throttle response. great old school package.

Love seeing a good old small block make power. 👍🏻

Maybe Santa will bring me one so I can unload my 496 ...
That's a solid piece of hardware, very nice !
That would fit perfectly in my original 1970 C-10 short bed
Nice thing about the blow through carb with blower is that it cools the air/fuel charge, so an intercooler is not required vs an EFI set-up.
Not really the air going through the turbo is hot once the air is compressed it gets hot it is still good to have a intercooler EFI and carb work the same way some go through a TBI or goes through a EFI throttle body
Greetings from the land down under! 🇦🇺
Awesome result there for a modest street combo.

What an awesome little street car package, hey Steve? Simplicity at it's finest! 👍🏻
@@TorqHub What kind of power you make on that motor?
@@kljperformance7372 it made 770hp @ ~6500rpm on a Mainline hub dyno. Made 19psi boost, running on pump E85. Car has a TH400 trans and 9" diff.
Thats some good power for a small block !!!!!! Steve builds good engines
I would prefer this over an ls without even thinking about it!!
They ant nothing like a ls3
The old school chevy small blocks are good but the LS power wise it's not even close...the LS motor just makes so much more HORSEPOWER and TORQUE
@@kennyhayes8488 LOL .......LOL
Nice setup…that looks like a good choice for a “drag and drive” banger!
Steve, you just made my day!
All my eyes look at are the quality of the tig work on the valve covers
Thanks for the video Steve cool motor setup hey bud have a great memorial weekend later

You guys are freaking mad scientists for sure!!! Insane what kind of work you do with the same shit as everyone else...
Hay Steve ,love your vids !!Paul from Canada
I could find a good home for this, smack dab in the middle of my square body front fenders. Nice build Steve, nice to see a small block for a change
Did you miss the several decades prior to the LS where SBC was in everything?
I was over the small block back then but now that the LS has taken over it's nice to see a small block. I never thought I would get excited over a sbc but times have changed and I kinda like them now.

Will alwalys Love 350 SBC's. Superb build.
You speced a cam for me you are so rite it's been super reliable and the motor makes grate power turnning 8000+ with a D1x procharger..thanks steve
Awesome job brother
Great job!!!! Love it!!!
Good ol classic solid engine. Chevy engines are the best. That's why everyone puts them in everything
Beautiful torque line.
400 block with a 350 crank... basicly destroked .. so it has steam holes drilled in head for siamese cylinders.... fun fun.. simple and effective... looks internally balanced.. .. good stuff..
Great to see that the SBC has not been kicked to the curb. Very impressive.
💪💪💪💪💪 Man it look like the belt about rubbed together on the hi rpms!!
Very impressive power from a SBC at only 15 psi!
Absolutely incredible!

It’s not what you build! It how you build them! Thanks Steve
alot forgotten over time but the gen1 sbc was always known for its excellent torque curve !
I would love to have one of these motors in my 1973 Camaro !
Awesome hp and tq #'s out of this gen 1 sbc
love it old school 1000+ on pump gas.....I bet a bunch of the LS crowd thinks this is FAKE NEWS!

Very nice engine. I still run sbc in both of my race cars and im still on nitrous hopefully in the next year or 2 ill make the change to turbo
Solid roller for life, check it like twice a season
It's like you're reading my browser history. I've been looking at SBC EFI, with a Procharger F1A94 - 383 stroker builds
I believe RUclips has become aware of what's on our minds. Everytime I tinker with my Monte Carlo I envisioned this setup.
I'm also looking at the F-1 for my 399 sbc in my Sonoma.
My SB Mopar 418 stroker with out of the box 190 runner TF heads made 1065hp running out of fuel at only 6000rpm with a 750 e85 blow through and a F1A at only 12 pounds of boost. Old school can still make good numbers.
I think is even an advantage over some twin turbos with all of the stuff to run them plus a big charge cooler
I need this in my life.
