L88 427 and 454 ls6 kings of the muscle car world 🥳✌️
Had fun back in the 70's with a Corvette 427 / 4 speed , working as a service advisor at a GM dealership. What a monster for the time.
I have a 65 427 Vette sitting in my garage. Every time I take it out it turns into a car show.
Way too heavy for a Vette front end.
@RidgeRunner-sm1vs that's why GM put "big block" springs in the front....
Was it the L88 427 by chance??? Lol very slim chance lol
Funny how simply putting a 427 Chevy on gets everyone's attention and doubles your viewership...lol
I love those valve covers and the engine sounds sweet. Great job guys!👍
Congrats on your 427 George , hope it brings you many fun miles.
Thank you Nick for another GREAT DYNO DAY! Keep them coming!
That 427 is a GREAT engine that'll put a smile on your face once it's in the Camaro!
That’s a Nick build from the ground up. Starts instantly, engine sounds so crisp. George, your opening for this video was great. Have a great week everyone.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nick didn't build it, George did!
Awsome 427 dyno blast, enjoy the coffee guys, Nick your cars at Glendale looked Amazing. So glad I got to see them in person
Thanks Mike! Much appreciated. ❤️
Good set of heads on this iconic Chevy. Good job building it. It's a beast!
Absolutely wonderful filming job like always George
Thank you Nathan.
Its great to know im not the only older man that still builds models. Great job on that build! I love to see the care you put into it! George, i can't wait to see yours back on the road!!
Awesome 427 Chevy it would be fun in a Camaro. Good job Nick and crew on the build keep them coming and see you Monday
Dr. Nick, fast story, right before I got my 1967 GTX Hemi 4 speed, I almost got a 1968 Nova with a 427, so thanks for the flashback, enjoy your model George, cheers.
It has been a long time since I’ve heard the throaty 427!! That is sweet. When we heard that sound on the street… you knew it was special. Great camera work George!
These are a great motor to start with and you made it even better, Nick! What a monster to say the least. Great job!!
I’ve grown to really enjoy your show. As a prior owner of a 99% performance machine shop I appreciate some of the problems you encounter and work through. My family is now on our 3rd generation of engine building and professional racing. Many of the engines on the TV show Street Outlaws No Prep Kings is built by our family. I’m old and retired and spend my time watching different shows related to engine building and stumbled onto yours. We built hundreds of big block Chevys staring back in the mid 70’s when NHRA first started the Super Gas class we built dozens of 454’s which were perfect at day and time for the class. We didn’t have a dyno back then so I like to watch you dyno those mild performance engines to see how much power they have.
The sound of that distributor cap going back on brought back memories ❤️
fun times for sure. Tuning or just tinkering every weekend. Now it's boring -- plugs maybe once a year, oil and filter every 3-4 months. Modern engines just don't make the same 'thunder' and some even don't make any noise at all- some even make fake noise. Sacrilege.
Hi Nick and George....so glad George loved his replaca of his 64 Bel Air! Thank you for all the awesome videos!
Our pleasure! Thanks again Mike.
580 HP😮 I would be a happy boy. What a nice street engine. Great job guys.
580 hp gross is only 469 hp net....2023 Mustang GT does 480 net...no big deal
@@chadhaire1711 and it has a computer, fuel injection, 4 cams and vvt. This is an old school carbureted with a mechanical distributor. Single phase cam. So yeah apples to oranges. I am 65 years old and have watched the engine evolve. So yeah that is good power out of a 427.
@@randylear8264 That 427 will be even more fun to feed at 7 mpg.....might see 10 on the highway. And like all Chevy big blocks the valves will die before 10K miles. The last three Hellcats I drove did 22 mpg, even the stronger 800 hp version. Newer is always better. I dont miss any of those old rust bucket cars from the 60's 70's.....
@@chadhaire1711 I own a 70 GTX 440-6 barrel. I know something about the milage they get. I don’t daily drive my GTX. So it’s still apples to oranges. That is the beauty of the modern cars. But a Nova with a 427 is not a daily driver. Just a cruise once in a while.
@@randylear8264 Well the only way I would own one of these old cars would be to get what a guy I know has....he bought a 1970 Dodge Demon, then put a modern 392 SRT engine and tranny under it. It can be driven daily, and will smoke about anything off the road. That is the way to do it.
Great show!!!! That 427 will get the job done very nicely😊. George, you deserve every good thing that has come, is coming, and will come your way!!!! Enjoy and great week, all!!!
Excellent 427 BBC. The big block that revs like a small block.
That’s the secret sauce of a factory internally balanced rat power! THE best Chevy Big-Block produced! 7000rpm all day long in a BBC!
Mannnnn the 427 Chevy sure sounded good and what a Engine !!!!!! They just don't make pure horsepower like that anymore !!!! Very good numbers and a Classic engine from the good ol days !!!!! Great stuff Mr.Nick !!!!!!!!!!!
No, actually they do!! In fact, they make much more horsepower today!
@@cryptonewbie2041and they're all forced induction, so they don't sound nearly as good. I'd prefer the old horsepower where you feel the power
C8 Corvette Z06 makes more naturally aspirated lol but that's about it lol so yeah for the most part I definitely agree
@@bengagnon6947 after 50 years of advancements, with EFI and EI, and the stupid complicated ECU to perfect ignition and the amount of fuel used id goddamn hope so
Wow. That is a great Motor. That Camaro will Be pretty Quick. Nice Job Nick.
Good Monday Everyone !!! George great intro !!! Beautiful camera work !!! Big Beautiful 427 BIg Block !!!! Dyno Monday !!!!!!!!
Enjoyed the 427 on the dyno Nick! One of my favorite engines. Mail time is fun to see what people send from all over and the effort that goes into it. That '64 was a nicely done model!
That was crazy cool that someone would send you a model of your car! Nick! You got to get that motor done. Put it ahead of the line. That was really great of the guy to do that.
NICK'S GARAGE NUMBER ONE ALWAYS
I wish he was closer , I’d love to buy the guys coffe and b.s for a bit. Nic, answered my question once and I was fan for life , I just enjoy this format so much
I absolutely love when you do mail time! It's so nice to see what your fans send you and the team. Always a pleasure to watch your videos and live shows. Take care everyone!
Thank you so much!
Nice 427 Nick, thanks for sharing. 👍
Have a good evening.
you did a great job building this engine Nick! I'm sure the customer is more than happy. take care.
This is another fun video. I have wanted a 427 in a 1967 Corvette for 53 years !
Great the way the 427 roars to redline and as soon as the throttle backs off it settles into a healthy idle like "what else can you show me?" That's a 10 second Camaro! Beautiful build Nick! Way to go George!
Uncles vette had this beast. Used to watch him run it at Island Dragway in Great meadows NJ RIP uncle Bob miss you a whole bunch
My favorite engines end in 27. Thanks Nick and George.
Thanks Nick for building the 427 for us Chevy folks. I have a 67 standard bore 427 block in the shop, four bolt mains. Now I know what it could do.
Nick didn't build it, George did!
@@cryptonewbie2041 Well he did a fine job!
That is a nice block with thick walls.Can be turned to 440 easily with 3.76 stroke.
That engine is a BEAST! I love it! Thank you Nick.
The 427 was my favorite big block
What's your favorite now?
I had a 68 Camaro with a 427 and a Muncie four speed, 3.23 gear, great driving car!
68 with a 427 ?? Not from factory.
Was it a YENKO ?
@@robt3305 The 427 was a 69 390 horse engine, somebody prior to me had sourced it and dropped it in the Camaro. I later took it out and replaced it with an aluminum head 468 that I built and put the 427 in my 69 el Camino.
Hi Nick. Since you are doing a Chevy engine. I think you will enjoy this. One of my best friend's was a top engine builder who also knew Keith Black. We had built a small block Chevy 350 engine. Compression was 16.5 to 1 cam was 675/326 3/8 push rods if I remember correctly and I think the cam was 2 or 4 degrees advanced single carburetor. Turbo 400 transmission with a 5500 to 6000 stall don't remember what gears in the rear-ended it was only a quarter mile car a 1967 camaro. Two ring pistons.
I agree with George, "Let's make some noise!" Very nice engine indeed.
It sounds great , plenty HP for the Camero ,nice. Thanks Nick
I'm glad to see you doing a video on Chevrolet do a few on small block 327s I would really appreciate it thank you and you're doing a great job keep them coming. ✌️
Thanks Nick for the build and test of the Chevy 427, for we Chevy people (though I'm a Pontiac guy) That was an awesome mail edition, especially George's '64 Bel Air with the inline six! :)
Very cool!
awesome show that 427 sounds pretty good great video
Thanks 👍
I had all three 50 yrs ago at one time or another,428 Cobra Jet, 440 Magnum Super Commando , 435 HP 427 with tri power in a Corvette, stock on stock the big block Chevy was king !
Corvette makes rhe difference.
Good afternoon Nick & George!! Another Monday and we have a 427 Chevy on the Dyno. This engine has some great parts, that should make plenty of HP for George's Camaro. My guess is that it will make over 585HP, and 600+ Torque. Always something different at Nick's Garage, the best channel on RUclips! Here We Go!!
Thank you very kindly for joining us once again, Mr Eugene. We always appreciate your kind and knowledgeable comments. 💛
hi Eugene, with all the flooding down your way I trust that you and yours are safe.
@@NicksGarage I really enjoyed this video George. Watching the 427 on the dyno brought back a lot of memories from back in the late 60's. I was a little off on the torque numbers, but I think that with the new distributor, and the 850 Carb, the 427 will make my predicted HP. George will have an awesome 68 Camaro with that motor under the hood.
@@ericball6000 Hi Eric, yes we have had a lot of rain lately, but we are all safe. Hope you and your family are well.
Another awesome build Nick! Back in 1981 my brother purchased a crate LS6 454 from chevrolet. Unlike the production car 11.1 closed chamber head, the over the counter crate engines are 10.25 open chamber. My brother had it in his 1967 camaro 4 speed 3.73 posi. He followed chevrolet's power book recommended set up. For a super responsive throttle and acceleration a holley 830 annual discharge double pumper along with stagger jetting for the factory dual plane hi-rise intake was just perfect set up for the camaro. During that time many magazine articles swayed readers away from running rectangular port heads for the street stating that low speed will be sluggish. Well this was not the case for the LS6 454. The factory solid lifter cam was very healthy but no where near radical like the L88 or the ZL1/LS7 cam. That 454 had plenty of low end grunt! I was 14 years old at the time. It was that LS6 that forever got me hooked on big block power. I currently have 2 big block engines that run on pump gas (91 octane) one making 705 hp and the other all aluminum 955 hp. Sorry to be a bit long winded, just wanted to share my experience and story.
550 HP , 540 TQ. Those AFR ovals are great heads.
Yea BBC like good heads and some cam.
That's a beautiful sound - Nothing sounds like a GM big block
Chevy fan here, thanks Nick. All your content is great.
Awesome! Thank you!
George that was a great gift you got! That model car was perfect!
Yes it was!
Great show Nick! You’ve got it all, from a great sounding 427 to awesome mail time!
A bare block that had been stored for a long time, from about six months to three years, somehow makes the block much harder. One of the secrets to an engine block lasting a long time depends on how nimble the engine block is. With the constant heating and cooling, the engine is constantly expanding and contracting of which the engine block eventually will warp. With an iron block that is aged, it is less susceptible to being flimsy. The same goes for your diesel engine blocks, of which they are thicker than your contemporary gasoline powered engines.
Hi Nick. Matt from RI. Great to see that bad 427 on the Dyno . I am really curious to see what type of numbers it will put out.
That would look great in my 1969 Z28 Rally Sport. Cant wait to hear this motor run. I just might have you build me one of those . We might be talking . Let it rip . Good luck . Have a great night.
I really hope you make another video on this one. Love all your videos.
One of the greatest engines ever developed. Its my favorite big block. My dream is to build a 69 Chevelle 300, with every option delete you could get in 69, drop in an L88 speced 427, with a Rockcrusher. Making it a tribute to a 69 COPO car. Only options i need in it, are a steering wheel, a shifter, a seat, a clutch pedal, and a gas pedal. Dont even need a brake pedal. 😂
Only option I would add is Astro Ventilation.......
You are real nice guy to treat everyone special.
Interesting when you pulled the cap on that distributor. Old school. No electronics. Cool!
I can't wait to see this in a car!
555 hp/ 545 lbs torque. Excellent choice of components, especially the oval port heads
Right on.
Great content in Nick's dyno room....thanks alot...👍🔧
More to come!
That guy really put in some hours building that beautiful model of George's 64 Belair. EXCELLENT !!!!
615 HP 581 Torque, Good looking Engine!!
I haven't watched the whole video yet but I suspect it may not have enough cam for 615 hp.
Dude you and I are way off no info on the cam specifications and that intake manifold looks not so good but I love the power with that so far.....yes
@@danielsavedra4358 he showed all the cam specs toward the beginning. Look at 3:24.
That’s valve float at 6400. If you want to go higher you need stiffer springs.
615 gross is 498 net....only 18 more than a 2023 Ford 5.0 at 480 net
Great program and very informative!
I live in Baton Rouge the home of Cam Motion. Kip use to build cams for bikes for some of my friends back in the 80's.
I've been using cam motion cams for 30 yrs
Dana "60" Glass. Great dyno pulls on the 427. Love to see and hear a 375/396 and compare numbers. Great video as always
It's a beast. Wonderful build. Grats!
Glad you enjoy it!
Ford Chevy Chrysler doesn't matter it's all about the horsepower and the sound of course Chryslers are my favorite
Daayum George yr scoring some pretty cool stuff. You do great work and you deserve it mate. Well done from Australia 🇳🇿
Not a 426 Hemi, but a 427 Big Block. Enjoy seeing all types of big engines making great horse power.
At least HP 530/TQ 560
Those valve covers are sick. Love the finish flags.
They are!
Hello Nick.
Thank you for another great video.
Take care.
From Sweden 🇸🇪
A petrol heads impression of heaven A big block Chevy V8 427 Designed to move alot of air Nick's Garage is ready to share George the owner is very generous for letting us viewers see a classic engine so venerous It's bound to have some power Every Monday Nick's Garage is bound to entertain you for an hour Above their competion they tower Makin em sour But when you got a car to fix you need people who know all the tricks Nick's Garage is who you're gonna picks Thanks Nick George and George for sharing an engine worthy of applause
Amazing build Nick, That Chevy sure runs as well as it looks, Great to see some Chevy LOVE
Thanks 👍
So happy for you guys and enjoy your day today Nick! Greetings from North of Pittsburgh, PA. about a hour north of it in the Farm and Rust Belt.
So cool!
Nice model of George's car! So cool. Had a '63 Impala once. Loved it.
Right on.
Nicks constant is 1.32 so 432 cubic inches x 1.32 = 570 . Most builders would love to be able to build engines and get the results that Nick gets, consistently!
Just buy good parts and you'll do fine! No magic to it, it's science!
Great Job Nick and George
Great job Nick❤ ! A BB Chevy with 570+ hp, 500 trq numbers in a virtual straight line is insane ❤
I can’t wait to see where it’s gonna squeeze between fenders.
No it is not.......570 GROSS on a dyno is 469 NET in the car.....2023 Dodge SRT at 485 net or Mustang GT at 480 net will beat it.
Superb build, Nick. George obviously put a lot of thought into building it, and it sure paid off. I hope he drops by the shop when it's installed in his Camaro.
Doesn't get much more genuine than nick amd George
Those AFR heads just proved why they cost so much. You can build a streetable combo with a reasonably mild camshaft and still make more power and be more driveable than a large cam/factory head combo. Nick, you hit this one out of the park!👍🏻 You should have a solid mid 10 second Camaro once you’re done.
Mid 11's takes more to run in the 10's. Back in the day a 68 427 Motion camaro was sold and advertised as an 11.50 car out of the box.
Sounded like the valve springs started to float
that's what I thought as well
Ditto. Nothing to do with distributor.
I was suprised it made it to 6400
I think its his dyno unloading. Shouldnt take much spring for this baby cam.
Springs are maxed out with the hydraulic lifters.
Loved the content today, awesome well done men. That model is very well done, I have built a few bike models (more than 20), time consuming and sometimes frustrating, loved the challenge.
Right on!
Good numbers on the 427 Nick & Team, one sweet looking & sounding engine too. George that model certainly is something aye. Nick mail time is always beaut as one never knows what one is getting, always a surprise to be had. Take care and have a beaut week ahead Nick & Team.
Thanks 👍 Have a great week, Blinkie.
Those are "L88" 427 numbers! Nice job Nick.
L88 was 450 gross hp and 365 net hp
I'm a Chevy viewer but I love Chrysler and Ford also
Impressive 427 street motor! Would love to see a 396 on the dyno someday Nick!
Nice. Thanks for the 427 dyno tune
Beautiful looking and sounding 427 Nick, it's putting out good horsepower for a 427, I really like those engines. Nice job.
Thanks 👍
Chevys are so easy and cheap to make power. They are the swiss army knife of engines!
427 Chevy SCREAMMING for a Cater 4747 ( You know just what I am talking about Nick!) FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED ME AIR !
hello nick and George good to be hear 🛠🍁👍🇨🇦🏆
Great to see you Danoh!
Love your YOU TUBE CHANNEL!!
I lived in Glendale AZ,Now it's North Phx.
I liked the 454 you have Done.The 427 Now.
Have you Built any 496 B.B.C for anyone?
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!😊
I was waiting for this to drop, saw the short announcing it. Love to see some rat bowtie content! I can just picture dropping this in a 68-72 Nova! Like a COPO tribute.
Hope you enjoyed it!
My cousin had a '69 L72 with 4 speed. It was a beast and you had to be careful, it would put ya in the weeds in a heartbeat. Don't know what happened to it after he sold it.
The 427 runs very nice 👍🏻. Love the fan mail time.
Eddie Patterson,Silverstreet, South Carolina,U.S.A.
Thanks 👍
Just want to say thank you Nick for everything. Your videos are great. 540/590.
That’s a sweet motor it revs so high!
Never been a gm fan, BUT, I could appreciate the sound of those late '60s 427s working like hell to come around me.
I did not expect so much from oval port heads, etc. It must be Magic.
AFR
Evenin Mr George an Mr Nick! Have a Great week!!
Thanks, you too!
