Keep showing engines that aren't what their talking about. 348-409 W had nothing too do with valve covers. GM was working on three engine development programs at the time, codes W, X, and Y, the W engine won .
@@Sabe53what are you talking about the heads were unique offset valves and the engine deck was 74 degrees making the 16 degree wedge shape combustion chamber with the slightly recessed flat head surface hence the w series
@@Thumper68 W was the code for the engine program that developed the 348-409. Has nothing to do with shape of valve covers. People say covers look like a W and that's why they're called W blocks. GM called them W blocks after the program designation.
OLDSMOBILE four-hundred fifty-five? OLDSMOBILE four-hundred forty-two? NO! It's an OLDS four-fifty-five. It's an OLDS four-four-two. I know. I was there. Had my own.
Not a one of those big block chev engines you showed was a W motor. 348 and 409 (Dual Quads or Tri Power) were the W engines. The W is a reference to the shape of the valve covers. The tempest was the base model of the GTO which used a 389 until 1967 when they increased cubic inch to 400. And physically speaking, the castings of the 326 through the 455 were the same basic external dimensions. You do realize that Rambler and AMC are one in the same. Maybe you should stick to topics you actually know something about?
Yeah, 'tis😊 I was confident that I would know of anything mentioned, but, c'mon! No mention of Hemi Oldsmobiles, Olds Jetfire, which was the first production turbocharged engine, or anything else that was actually obscure.
The whole time that you spoke about the First Big Block Chevrolet Engines that were indeed the W Engines, the 348 and later 409. And Mystery 427. You never showed one photo of it. But of the late Mark IV big blocks and small blocks. I'll now un subscribe.
What, you don't appreciate Packard engine while talking about Cadillac? Or Buick Special car with a 455? As soon as it said 12 anything from anybody we knew not to check this out.
I am surprised that you did not mention the overhead cam six from Pontiac. It was a wonderful engine that with a small amount of tuning could and often did destroy the v-8s of its time.
1970 LT-1 had iron heads with an aluminum intake...Except for the OHC Pontiac V-8 (briefly shown) designed by Malcom McKellar, these are all well-known, mainstream GM engines.
My parents had a 1971 Pontiac Catalina with a 4 bbl 455 in it. The engine had an anti ping additive in a can attached to it. Strange. Getting a replacement full of their anti ping fluid was costly, but necessary for the high compression the engine had. Even with the additive the engine ran terrible. There was nothing mechanically wrong with it, it just needed high octane fuel, which was becoming scarce at the time. When the gas crunch hit my parents made the mistake of trading it in on a Chevy Monza 2,300 4cyl car. The Monza was just a Vega with a face lift. They had that car 11 months and the engine was replaced twice under warranty. After 11 months they traded it in on a Pinto, which ran much better and was more reliable. They bought the Pinto after Ford fixed the gas tank issue and were happy with it for several years.
Talking about Fireball Roberts winning the Daytona 500 in a Pontiac but posing in front of a Ford. LT-1 80 lb.s torque? Several incorrect pictures. Did Alan Gold give permission to use his images? I'd be mad if I was him.
Another inaccurate description of the LT1 all of the 70-72 that I worked on had iron heads only some of the Gen 2 LT ones of the 90s had aluminum heads get your photographs in order to showing pictures of engines that aren't even in the description
Weird engines we never herd of …?? What a load of Shit, every second back yard in New Zealand has a couple of each kicking around…!!! HEMI’S still rule…!!!
Stopped 1 minute and 8 seconds in. Obviously a computer generated narration. If not it is a human that does not know that it's a four fifty five not a four hundred fifty five. It is an Oldsmobile 4-4-2 not a four hundred forty two.
CLICKBAIT ! Artificial intelligence might be great if you know nothing about cars or engines, but at least fact check the video that results from your zero effort. Your robot calls a '60 Corvette a '63, shows a Buick but calls it a Pontiac, etc etc. The problem is, people that don't know any better can potentially take this as fact. Not that it would matter to you…
Those engines weren't weird, this video is.
Oldsmobile 455 was a standard Oldsmobile engine.
And the Pontiac 455 was a Standard engine.
The Buick 455 was a standard engine.
Not a WEIRD Engine.
"12 weird engines you've never heard of " Then immediately starts name legendary engines that most gearheads covet.

@@Sabe53YES like showing the LT1. One thing he didn't get from Google are 1st ,2nd generation.
These channels are easy to get subs and views with these clickbait titles they’re making money reading ai scripts

The 350LT1 didn't have aluminum heads it had the 186 iron double hump heads
I was thinking the same thing. Also, at the 7:34ish mark, that’s me degreeing a cam in an LT1. How did I end up in this video?
@@2HacksGarageit must be odd to see yourself in a random video that you had nothing to do with
@@itylxrrr4163especially one that’s obviously AI generated
@@2HacksGarage yeah because this video was really educational so fair use is out the window?
OLDSMOBILE four-hundred fifty-five? OLDSMOBILE four-hundred forty-two? NO! It's an OLDS four-fifty-five. It's an OLDS four-four-two. I know. I was there. Had my own.
442 was not the engine size it was a Cutlass model. 4 barrel, 4 speed 2 exhaust.
Chevy LT-1 370 hp 80 foot pounds of torque @8.20 is this AI want my money back

Probably bumbling A.I. data derived from all the incorrect bs on the internet.
I've heard of all these engines.
Tis sad. Even way down here in New Zealand, I have heard of all these engines. Kinda of hoping for something funky
Yeah, 'tis😊 I was confident that I would know of anything mentioned, but, c'mon! No mention of Hemi Oldsmobiles, Olds Jetfire, which was the first production turbocharged engine, or anything else that was actually obscure.
Im old & forgot a lot but i still now more then the info from this channel

I wish the correct engines would show on the video matching the narrator, pretty pathetic 😮

The Caddy 452 was NOT a V8. It's a V16.
Four,four, two, four barrel carb, four speed trans,and dual exhaust.
More mistakes than I care to point out.
Pontiac 389.and 326.used the same block how was it lighter than a 389? Cadillac never made a 452 it made a 425 in that design 20:58

i hate when they use ai to narrate you can tell by the way they name the engines unlike normal people.
Maybe I'm special, I've seen and buil,r many/ all? Before 22 years old , they were common as pigeons 😂
This guy lacks a lot of knowledge on GM V8 engines. They were some of greatest engines and still are in classic cars.
We had a 348 W in a 58 chevy sta. wagon.
The Olds 455 is the best engine.
Pontiac 455! TransAm! Glenn
= so freaking IN-CORRECT = this is STUPID !!! =
FORD DESIGNED THE CHEVY SMALL BLOCK THE 265 ci AND SOLD THE DESIGN TO GM. THEIR IS MORE TO THIS BUT I AM STOPPING HERE...
This video is terrible.
Don't waste your time watching this weird video. The narrating and photos are wrong throughout.
Show the engine that you are talking about 😂

A I strikes again!
again with the sodding AI narration? tisk.
These shitty AI videos need to go away
Another bullshit AI video 😢
I guess the only one I've never heard of is that 350 Chevrolet with 80 pound feet of torque. Goodness gracious and AI is supposed to be better. 🥱
