I wonder how many people realize that this 540 with RFD heads and a gear change it would make 3400 RWHP. This is a nice gas street strip setup. Steve is a top notch guy.
@@cali2468 i thought about it, but id rather just own up to my mistake. And plus I couldn't be sure if he or someone else already read my original comment
thanks for sharing your knowledge on stuff steve. Really liking the steve tech videos. Sloppy Mechanics has a little talk show, it would be cool if you would be on it sometime if you have some spare time
Even here in Michigan, we know of Steve Morris Engines! Just waiting for my Lotto numbers to come in so you can build me a 460 monster for the 67 Mustang I have! Cheers from Motown.
Pity this would never fit into a normal street car chassis is there an alternative procharger you can use that would fit most street car engine bays and make the same horsepower ??Great video by the way

@@nalley6815 At that high of an output, the steel rods transmit all the force to the bearings and the crank is the only thing I can think of why not. At the 1500hp range, mine held up just fine. I've since built a aluminum 540 with aluminum rods to take advantage of the shock absorbing properties 😃 steel rodded engine is still going strong lol.
@@1320MotorWorks makes sense. So I’m planning on building a 540 or 572 drag and drive engine. I’d like it to make 18-1900 at the tire at some point. So billet alum rods would be best? But I’ve also read don’t use alum rods if it’s gonna see a lot of street miles. Idk what to do 😂 there’s so much information out there online and a lot of it says 2 different things.
@@MrDavcan well, thankfully, I know something about something. If you look at the video on my car I posted, you'd see i don't need to learn *all that much* but still a decent amount im sure lol
Love how he say easy squeezy tune of over 2200 hp. Awesome video Steve, another strong bullet. 👍

A gear change in what? Trans/diff? What does that have to do with power??
Never mind lol I should have watched for another 30 seconds...

@@Thebadbeaver9 I respect you for that.
Wow and I'm excited over a 450hp 383 stroker
This combo is perfect for weekend warrior street racing... 🔥🏁🏁
Damn Steve that start up tune is dead on Brother
How do the procharger gear drives work on the street? Are they 100% streetable or would the belt drive be better? For vibration and durability
wow.. People like Sassy and Keith Black would be proud of what you do! 🤘🏻😊
that's pretty amazing piece right there
Steve you are awesome. Great engineering.
Would love to live over there so many great engine builders with the tech and know how to make hp
Thanks Steve!

Steve build one of the new Ford 7.3 Godzilla engines!
Love me some SME
Imagine having that in a sleeper street car
If ya have to ask....I very much want to know the price tag on something like this. 70k?
Nice job
Please the the person that did the TIG welding on the manifold, nice job!
Sweet Motor,,
Oh, Where is your shop Steve? Thank you!!
Watching the boots swell 😳

You could absolutely make it fit
Thanks for sharing. That I very impressive for 540 but you are the man lol. Stay safe an god bless
👍thanks for the video
Thanks for the video! I have a question. Why do you not use steel rods in methanol motors?
Corrosion I think. The methanol is pretty aggressive, don't get that shiz in your eyes!

Steve, stupid question time, what are the two big wall fans for in the dyno cell?
That'll getcha to the grocery store quickly..
Why do you not use methional with steel rods???
Great video Steve. Keep up the good work. By the way, what happened to the heads that were with the motor.
Wow , that’s some serious Hp out of 540 cu in.
Could you Run one of those engines in a Boat ?
sure could.
Can I come work for you Lol ?! I say work but if your doing what you love is it really work ?!
Steve, would you ever be willing to take an intern? You don't have to pay me, I just want to learn.
Costs money to teach people :(

Do you accept payment plans? When someone owes you money you will never be broke 😉
Replicate this for tyrice's bu.
What’s timing at. ? And what fuel. Ratio
Yeah yeah and also what's the bearing clearance and also ring gap and what torque are the water pump bolts 😂
@@vbcanman88not sure why you’re making a smart ass comment. It’s a good question
I was expecting nitrous...not GASoline!!!
