I don't think I'll be building an engine myself any time soon. However, this series was very interesting and taught me many new things. I enjoyed it, thank you, Pete.
I'm glad you make videos like this. Because I don't exactly get down into engines and cars as much as I like, so learning from these makes me confident in my skills
Thanks for the video Pete, I love this series in particular, as it has taught me everything I know about engines - as a result I've now started working on upgrading my car's engine :) As a Mechanical Engineer in the turbo industry, I really appreciate the time you take to explain everything in detail - can't wait for the Dyno test!
Good post! Thank you for your time. We always appreciate your work. On a side note, I remember our discussion about why diesels sound different. I finally resolved it. They actually do sound like normal v8's. It's just that the log style turbo manifolds are so short and merge so close to the turbo, they sound like an X-pipe, but it never gets above 3500 rpm, and we never get to the familiar 5500 rpm growl.
No problem Im an expat living out in asia dreaming of building my own AC cobra replica one day,and Im sure im not aloan when i say your videos on building engines and many other aspects of car building and fabrication are so inspiring, cant wait to see the rest of your new studabaker re-build series. keep up the excellent and informative work you do for all of us......respect ant
I saw all 15 videos. Awesome work, very informative and detailed. u have great goal to help people. This is one of my favorite series on RUclips and in five year first time i comment any post. Thanks for keeping it going, Pete
I don't even know how to thank you Pete, I just stumbled upon this video today, and its incredibly informative! I will definitely subscribe and recommend you to some of my friends!
Finally made it to the end of the serious. WOW I learned a lot, and I had no idea there was so much more to and engine for things like proper sealing and even the smallest thing on an oil pan. I've got a 1967 mustang that has an old crate 289 in it. My father is selling a car at the moment, and we are going to use that money to make upgrades to suspension, steering, and then a new engine. I hope to do something just like this and utilize the small block ford engine mounts on my car and get an engine set up like yours. I still haven't decided whether to go old school with carbs or go with fuel injection. Regardless these videos will help me and my father make the right decisions on what we want to build and i'm glad this series of video was made by you to help people like us! love the channel, can't wait to watch more but i have to sleep now because I stayed up a very long time watching this series start to finish in one sitting and taking pages upon pages of notes! Thanks again!
Hi. This is really amazing. I watched the entire Engine Building series. The knowledge you have and the way you represent it is wordless. I wish I could have my own garage. I wached a lot of youtube videos to learn. And I learned a lot. I'll keep learning and I'll have my own garage one day. I'll try my best to work like the way you do. Thanks for all these info.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your encouragement. Currently I'm working as an Aircraft Engineer. I worked hard to become one. And I'll definitely open my own garage. Dear Sir, currently I'm going through the control modules available on a car (Ex: GEM, RAP, RCM, PCM etc...). To have a good comprehension on these, I really appreciate if you can publish a video on RUclips when you have time. Thanks again. Tc.
Missed this series! So glad it's back, I've learned so much from these videos. I have a notebook dedicated to notes just on this series. Glad you're back Pete!
im quite new to the whole car building stuff and me being 14, im not getting to much money from my job, so i cant really go and build an engine yet but when i get the money im sure to use this series as a guide, thank you for uploading this stuff its really interesting
It took me two days, but saw all 15 videos. Awesome work, very informative and detailed. Unfortunately, I flunked math! lol Lots of good info. I'll be doing some mods and rebuilding. so I'm going to call on you "when" I get stuck!
Those valve covers are bloody beautiful, in fact the entire engine is. I sure hope it’s going on something like a t bucket, and not being stuffed into a dark hood compartment... only recently discovered your channel, and it’s becoming a real favourite. As a Chevrolet owner, I have had SBC thrust upon me and I’ve really enjoyed your engine videos in particular. As a Chevrolet owner AND apparent masochist, my sbc 350 is in a g20 van (1988) which I am slowly turning into a shag wagon custom. I chose the 88 specifically for the fuel injection, and I am wondering if I’ve made a mistake. Can you give advice on getting a 400hp 425 torque truck style engine starting from this TBI? I really can’t afford to dump 5K$ down a hole.
So far it looks like I’m starting with a stronger fuel pump, an edelbrock dual plane tbi performer intake, some Hedman long tube headers, a roller cam kit with cam to be named later, and a chip. Then later on I might get a little crazy with heads and something like a sniper system. Since I honestly have no idea what shape the bowels of the motor are in, I’m doing only mods that can be done without removing the motor... There is no way I’m putting 3000can$ of cylinder head on a motor that might shit chunks of bearing into the oil tomorrow... If the cam wasn’t key to making any power at all, I’d skip it too
I've been wanting to build a new 302 for my fox body mustang for awhile and these videos helped me so much I was aiming at 400-500 horsepower. I was wondering how much your engine ended up having at the end
So when building an engine specifically when upgrading injectors do you recommend just upgrading the whole fuel system or just the injection part? Im planning in the near future to build a honda motor one of the B series.
great vid. tks/ i never thought of a fuel injection system based on a dual quad setup. Can you explain why uyou are using a duel quad setup, I assume for air only, , as versus a modern intake that draws air through a throttle body. Is this for looks or does your computer/fuel system not have support for items ie tps, map, maf, etc like common fuel systems on todays oem's.
Loved the video, been tracking since the fourth episode of this series I think. But I think you mixed up vapor-lock and hydro-lock there. Vapor-lock should simply cause the engine to lose power or stall due to fuel starvation, right? Vapor is compressible, so you're not going to bend a rod on a cylinder full of vapor. If I ever manage to get enough money and free time I want to convert my KLR's engine over to fuel injection.
We could argue over semantics....but vapor lock and hydro lock are very similar. Hydro (liquid) and vapor (gas) both starve the engine of power...I really didn't think everyone would focus much on it. The point I was trying to make was that if you run the fuel close to a heat source the fuel could boil and cause damage.
You are correct about the reason you get vapor lock but not what happens when you get vapor lock. Vapor lock is basically just an air bubble in the fuel line due to too much heat and that air bubble will cause fuel starvation. Not very likely you will cause any damage but it might cause the engine to stop running until you fix what is causing the vapor lock to happen. In a mechanical engine mounted fuel pump system the fuel is pushed by air pressure from the fuel tank to the low pressure side of the engine mounted pump. Fuel will boil at lower temps at lower pressures and cause an air bubble in the line and starve the pump. This is why mechanical engine pumps are prone to vapor lock. Most EFI systems have tank mounted systems that use a fuel pump to push fuel to the engine with a regulated return line at much higher pressures and at 40 to 60 psi fuel pressure the temp has to be very high to have a vapor lock. Deadhead EFI systems are more prone to vapor lock due to very high temps created in the system due high pump pressure and no lack of return to allow the fuel to loose heat.
direct injection into the cylinder head sucks, the the crank case blow by goes into the intake manifold and cokes up the back of the intake valve, port injection timed to each valve is better, My 95 F150 has a goofy system where three injectors spray at the same time and the other three do the same, at 180 degrees regardless of intake valve timing , the best system squirts the fuel into the intake port a few inches from the intake valve , just before the valve opens, which means you are not wasting fuel during the valve over lap, but if it screws up you gotta go to the bank, (been there)
Pete love your vids' keep them coming. Uhh i take it your formula was for pump gas like 91 or 93 octane? Great formula, but it changes drastically for e85/E98 don't you agree. Or just say get big ass injectors lol.
***** correct. My quick point was even .55 for e85 would undersize your injectors in that formula. When using ethanol you need even bigger injectors. The calculation formula was great, just did not specify a fuel type. -
Ah the return-less systems were adopted by the oems to keep the fuel in the tank from getting hot-boiling and blowing the gas cap off and possibly exploding. ( I got a black eye when a gas cap blew off of a VW rabbit.) A regulator with a vacuum -pressure port may be needed for a turbo application to over come the intake manifold pressure with a pump capable of the higher pressure needed. Most oem turbo units get by with a standard pump because they use a lower boost pressure. Injector size may need to be increased for lowered effective fuel pressure in a mildly boosted engine without a higher pressure pump. Vapor lock was a problem with mechanical fuel pumps and carburetors .Insulation on the fuel rails usually prevent vaporization in the fuel injection lines causing hard starting in a heat soak condition.
I think us car dummy's just need something simple that say's step one installing this and show how to do it no 1 hour explaining on what it does lol just show how to install it than step 2 etc etc etc.

By far my fav series. Explained why certain things in an engine are important and what to pay attention to as you’re building
That was my goal, thank you
I don't think I'll be building an engine myself any time soon. However, this series was very interesting and taught me many new things. I enjoyed it, thank you, Pete.

@@PetesGarage what engine was the one in this series
I don't even know how to thank you Pete, I just stumbled upon this video today, and its incredibly informative! I will definitely subscribe and recommend you to some of my friends!
Thank you very much Nick! I appreciate it
the BEST 101 how to on the planet.
Looking forward to the second level.

That is awesome, I'm glad it helped. Fuel injection adds a couple grand so be ready for that.
Are these parts you are using like the fuel rail, injectors, and throttle bodies available for say me to buy online?
Yes they are

very knowledgeable guy, Pete thanks for all your help, I watch every video, hopefully by summer I can start working on my 350 chevy block
Awesome...thanks for watching and good luck with your 350
Missed this series! So glad it's back, I've learned so much from these videos. I have a notebook dedicated to notes just on this series. Glad you're back Pete!
Wow...that is so cool. I took the summer off but I'm back to finish this and start a new series...thank you my friend
Another fine video from Petes Garage. Kind of missed seeing you for a while.
Yeah...I was super busy over the summer and I hate rushing through a video
great channel KEEP PUTTING OUT AWESOME CONTENT.
I'm back on a production schedule. I have a real cool project coming up after this
I always look forward to your educational vids! Well done, again!
There's someone in my head...but it's not me
***** Haha! Don't think I didn't notice your t-shirt ;)

im quite new to the whole car building stuff and me being 14, im not getting to much money from my job, so i cant really go and build an engine yet but when i get the money im sure to use this series as a guide, thank you for uploading this stuff its really interesting
Good for you...keep learning
Engine looks sweet Pete...Big fan of EFI.
Thank you my friend....I figured I'd go with something different
great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks Peter
Very well done sir! That was a lot of info but very well done.
Thank you my friend
It took me two days, but saw all 15 videos. Awesome work, very informative and detailed. Unfortunately, I flunked math! lol
Lots of good info. I'll be doing some mods and rebuilding. so I'm going to call on you "when" I get stuck!
I'll help whenever I can....thanks for watching
This is a great video and a wealth of information! thanks for this.
Thank you my friend
Oh yea, I just saw this upload.. Don't have time to watch it now. I will set aside some alone time later...so excited
That is awesome....thanks my friend
just great Pete,thx alot,keep feeding us please
I'm trying my friend
can't wait to see that thing fire up on the dyno!
I did have it running once ruclips.net/video/ySu36fwAn8s/видео.html but can't wait to finish it
Great video, have you ever played with the FI Tech brand of tbi? Looks simple and cheap?
I have not but I have heard they are ok
very good stuff! thank you for sharing.
Thank you my friend
Grats on 50k subs! Thanks for another thorough video.
Woo Hoo! That's really incredible, but not the real reason I do this. Thank you very much
thanks for the heads up awsome videos
Thanks my friend
Great stuff Pete!
Thanks Tom...Gorgeous Cuda my friend!
Great video learnt quite a bit

Those were hand painted and polished. Its going inmy 427 Cobra replica. You can do it for $5k. Gonna have to pull it apart though

Looking forward to hearing that bad boy come alive.
We're getting very close
I've been wanting to build a new 302 for my fox body mustang for awhile and these videos helped me so much I was aiming at 400-500 horsepower. I was wondering how much your engine ended up having at the end
If you put a 347 stroke crank in your 302 yo can get 400. This one was at 500 but I need one last dyno test....coming soon
So when building an engine specifically when upgrading injectors do you recommend just upgrading the whole fuel system or just the injection part? Im planning in the near future to build a honda motor one of the B series.
You must plan the entire fuel system from the tank to the injectors.
you always inspire me dude
So you're the one?....lol. I'm happy to help....thanks my friend
keep up the good work man
Would the end off a bike pump and bottle work for de pressuring the fuel system ?
That sounds possible
Pete, Is that an AK on the shelf? Only in America. 👍🏽
Interesting question. One day someone might feel lucky and try to find out...lol
Man, well done!!!
Thank you again
great vid. tks/

Is this for looks or does your computer/fuel system not have support for items ie tps, map, maf, etc like common fuel systems on todays oem's.
The only reason I am using a dual quad setup it to replicate the dual quad on the original 427 engine.
Also electric fuel pumps work more efficiently pushing vs pulling fuel. So always install your pump as close to the tank as possible.
Absolutely correct.

hi where to buy 4v terminator block and heads not expensive need for swap to GT
That sounds like an intense internet search
nice David Gilmour shirt!
He was pretty good in concert last year
make a video for ford escort 2001 :3 and list of all parts with amazon links and just show how to install it ;D
Sure, bring it over...lol
wow
Someone gets paid to sit and use a pink pen...
I'm in the wrong line of work here.
Yup....doing quality checks is a regular job on assembly lines. I won't tell you how much they make
Actually the opposite is true. When quality falls off they hire more quality guys to fix the problems
8 stack fuel injection thumbnail?? god do i hate misleading thumbnails
So do I, however the tile is Fuel Injection Systems.
if you hate it why did you do it?? put a pic of the actual FI setup in your video.. problem solved
