Big Block 400: Part 2/4 Weiand Tunnel Ram Tests

  • Mopar 400 build dyno tuning video. 400 Mopar pump gas stock stroke! Dodge 400 build using new big block Mopar Edelbrock E street heads, a Comp Cams Hydraulic roller cam, and Weiand Tunnel Ram intake. This big block Mopar roller cam is using Johnson Solid Roller Lifters! The big block Mopar Edelbrock ported heads make great use of the roller cam, for a killer combination. This Mopar 400 build is awesome! 400 dodge not a 500 mopar. Mopar 400 not a Mopar 500!
    In Dyno video 1, this 400 big block made over 500 foot pounds and over 500 horsepower, with a stock stroke, and only 10.1/1 compression, using an unported Edelbrock performer RPM intake and 750 AED Carburetor.

    Part 3 will include the #holley street dominator intake.
    Part 4 will include the dyno wrap up, and prize winner for guessing the most horsepower and torque!

    The street dominator intakes pick up quite a bit if you weld up the spread bore pattern to a square bore type pattern. But they’re such a good piece that the Mopar Performance B intake is just an improved version of it. Holley put a LOT of R&D time into the street dominator intakes.

    Your dyno curves scream either a valve train or ignition issue the way the power drops so fast over 5700. If it did not have an issue it would carry much better.

    • @JustMoparJoe
      @JustMoparJoe  Год назад

      Check out part 3, with the single plane intake. Peak power moves to 6,000 rpm. I’m pitching the distributor, when the engine goes in car. I may try out a chassis dyno after that, to compare.

  • @drmopar6122
    @drmopar6122 Год назад +4

    Truly the 340 of the big block wedge family. I think the TR is as good as it’s going to get this side of a modified Edelbrock STR-15 or a sheet metal intake. There’s probably more on the table with a pair of 650-700CFM 4150 carburetors. But that’s a very happy combination, great job!

    Awesome! Especially the flat torque curve with the tunnel ram. I think if you went with the TR in your Barracuda you would want to give a lot of thought to converter selection & rear gearing to take advantage of it. I asked in my long winded reply to your comment on the stroker build video how much idle vacuum the 400 is making & I'm still curious. If you recall kindly let us know. I don't think it would differ much with any of the intake manifolds.

    • @JustMoparJoe
      @JustMoparJoe  Год назад +1

      Thanks Gavin. I will check it out with a gauge whenever I get it in the car. We never fooled with the vacuum levels at idle, because all the tests were at wide open throttle. I would bet it has good vacuum at idle with the cam specs.

    I'm sorry, I'm about 2 minutes into this video and I'm not liking what the dyno operator is saying and predicting what will happen with the tunnel ram. I understand that there's a common myth that tunnel rams are for high RPM, but that is a myth. (Just look at the first graph.) But someone who supposedly knows engines enough to be a dyno operator should know better. Longer runners tend to produce higher low to mid-range torque. They can also sometimes push up the RPM peak for horsepower.

      Thanks brother. I agree,my life of seeing tunnel rams on the racetrack says the same. Aaron was helpful with the dyno and is very familiar with it. But he’s not familiar with big block mopars. The other myth is that the short stroke of the 383/400 can’t produce the torque that a 440 can. I think we are crushing that one too! Hope you check out parts 3 and 4. I promise it all gets better!

    Great numbers but I bet those valve springs aren’t very good.
    The power drops off way too fast at upper rpm
    With that Cam and solid lifters it should rev better and peak around 6200 and carry to 65/6800 no problem.

    WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! This motor is BRUTAL!!!!! I am wondering if it might see more power with a larger primary tube?? I'd also play with the timing a little with each change. Not that making 1 2 3 HP is a huge thing, but when you are sitting on the line against another who is tough to beat, you will be wishing for just a few more ponies!!! lol..... Racing is great, but racing all day AND bringing home the purse, well, that's ALL OF IT!!!!! ;)

      @@gregtough9055 it depends on how big the port is in relation to the cid of the engine, the opening events of the camshaft, and how much velocity it can make.
      With a Pontiac increasing the size of the ports increases torque everywhere in the rpm range in engines 389ci and larger. Its so pronounced that one of my engines, a 467 pump gas build with a solid 270/279@.050 110LSA cam was making over 650ftlbs at 3000rpm and carrying it to 5500. Put that cam in almost any other engine, especially one with short runners like small blocks and B/RB wedges and its not going to come anywhere near making that much torque anywhere in the RPM range.
      The old cross rams made Pontiac like torque on the B/RB engines, they have very long runners.

    Tunnel ram porting video was excellent, good approach to port work, I’m sure there was some nice gains there , those old school long runners always did well with the toque curve, keeping your gearing and convertor in the sweet spot will be the ticket. I’ve ran couple sets of the e streets the 75 cc and the 84 cc both did well with a little work for the price.

      Thanks Dizzee! You’ll be one of the first people to see the engine run in the car! As for the intake, you can use the 383/400 intake on a 440 with the adapters, but the 440 intake is too wide for a 383 or a 400. Hope that helps.
