Good choice for yourpowerplant there is a place that builds custom chargers and they use a marine engine because they are built for higher RPM I think you will be buying lots of tires
Obviously we don’t have to comb through hours of footage in order to put these videos together. Yet I believe that you capture the essence of FSG in such an amazing way. I truly can’t imagine it could be done any better. Bravo kind sir, I truly appreciate all your time and effort.
40 years ago i was 40. Still feel 40. But sometimes the body says different. Thats going to be a gem of an engine. Cant wait to see her finished. Love the show kids.
One Day I was at a pub reading my book and every now and then I look up to see the score of the game or something. All of a sudden I realized it was taking a lot longer to refocus my eyes. I commented on this to the person next to me and they're like how old are you. I said I just turned... That's the age everything starts to go bad..
i come to your channel to be “RAISED” by a / THE COUPLE IN TRUST … in the beginning of my watching you - you were candid with EVERYTHING - now it’s PURE INSTRUCTION so refined and polished - just like your “MIGDET” project for your (beauty Contest WINNER - MOM) i love you guys always !
Nice engine and very nice project. But why do you have the valve covers on the wrong sides of the engine? The caved in area on the front of the valve cover on your engine's passenger side goes on the driver side rear where it provides clearance for the power brake booster.
Knowing that Aaron likes a challenge, he wants reliability in a boat engine. While most would choose a Cummins, but I would love to see a marinized 6.7 liter diesel...
@@flyingsparksgarage get into more collaborations with other RUclipsrs. Matts Offroad Games, and Cleetus' crown vic races....viewers get exposed to channels they may never otherwise stumble across. Matt's Off Road, Trailmater, Robby Layton, Chad's Fab, Fab Rats, they're so often now in each other's videos. If you watch one of them, you're exposed to all of them fairly often.

Gen 6 aluminum heads may be hard to find. Those large oval heads are non adjustable rockers but you do have a 4 bolt main 9.8 deck 1 0iece seal block with a steel crank (not cast in most boat engines) meaning it can handle more HP and it should have good dot rods and flat top pistons with valve reliefs. The cam should make tons of torque to.
I wish I had my 40 year old body back, but at 69 Im not doing to bad. I was wondering why did the engine have a power steering pump on it? Was that to turn the lower unit on the boat? Its good you have an Oreilys with knowledgable people. I have been in the one where I live only a few times and they would look for muffler bearings if you asked for them. I usally go to Auto Zone and they know cars there, one guy was a big help on a power steering pump replacement I did last year.
Just now getting to see this episode. Love the 55 project and really enjoyed this. I would like to point out a few of things that I noticed: 1. If you look at the distributor drive gear on the one you pulled out, it looked like a bronze gear. I couldn't tell if the one you installed had a steel or iron gear. If it is iron, take it out and replace it with one recommended by Summit. The roller cams are steel and can eat that distributor gear or cam gear up really quickly. This actually applies to all roller cams and distributor gear combinations, not just BBC 2. It appeared that y'all have a rectangular port intake and the stock heads are oval port. Maybe the gasket mismatch you noticed. The mismatch will likely cause power and tuning issues. That can be solved if you decide to get some aluminum heads just order the rectangular ports. One thing to consider when buying heads is that the Marine engines are very low compression. They had one on Engine Masters and the guys said it was around 8:1 so you would want to consider that when sizing combustion chambers and if you replace the cam. Good luck and I can not wait until the next 55 episode.
nice build. before a head swap I would look at the possibility of having the wrong intake. The heads are oval port heads and it looks like the manifold is for square bore heads. Also switch the valve cover side to side. the one on the passenger side should needs to go on the driver side to add some space for the brake booster.
Awesome engine swap, that should get the 57' up to planing speed on the interstate in no time flat. Just remember that when driving into a car show it's a ''NO WAKE'' zone hahaha love ya Dream Reevers
I really like how you guys re powering boat and 57 Chevy. I maybe wrong but I thought that a cam for marine engine is not really desirable for a car application?
Last time I installed a big block with a seven litre oil pan with headers, I had to use a remote oil filter because I couldn't get the oil filter off. Have fun.
Since your yacht is named ''Stellar Views'' and your 57' share a marine motor. You should call the new land Yacht ''Stella'' hahaha love ya Dream Reevers
I havnt read all the comments , I want to let you know you have the valve covers on the wrong sides. the plug wire brackets and the large slanted flat go in the rear. the slanted flat is to clear vacuum power brake boosters.
This was great!! I watch your videos on my IMac with a couple of limited speakers that have a subwoofer and when you fired that big boy up, oh man! Awesome low grumble, sweet!!! Excellent work, thanks!!
This was super satisfying to see. And I loved the paper trick I never knew that. So it will actually suck the paper in because a valve is not fully closed ? That’s cool
Make sure you get a bronze distributor gear if that is a roller camshaft. (check if original was bronze) Roller cams typically do not use as hard of steel as flat tappet.
Love your show. Talked to you at a couple of the drag and drive events. Just to let you know, the valve cover on the passage side should be on the driver side. That recessed area that is on the front is to be on the rear to clear a vacuum power brake canister.
you guys have "sparked me" haha....anyway you guys have really turned me on to mechanics and working on engines just graduated john deere tech school you guys helped me through it all..thanks!
an idea for 1st start up for any engine that you guys may already know but just in case you dont know, before you put the distributor in the engine, install the oil filter and put the oil in the engine then get a high torque/power drill with a distributor shaft and put it down the distributor hole and prime the motor of oil then install the distributor and temporary fuel system and start the engine
Hopefully that intake works for you since the ports are square and the heads are roundish.( peanut port heads). The Warrior intake is a direct replacement aluminum intake for those heads.
The only problem i see from what i can remember marine engines when you convert to automotive you have to change the head gaskets same as when you take a car engine and go to marine same deal the automotive you a thinner gasket and marine use a thicker gasket because in a boat the motor runs cooler trying to run a marine engine in a car will run hotter under more direct load and blow the head gasket you need to get the thinner automotive gaskets !! to handle the heat and compression for the load !!
NICE! I just can’t tell you how much I like watching both of you! There isn’t words to describe it! Keep what you do “KEEP ON KEEPING ON”! You both are full of AWESOMENESS!
Love the longer content. Gimbal skills impressive and that editor ain't too bad. Next maybe a mini drone in the shop HAHA This is a great build, ready for a boat update as lake season gets in full swing.
Gotta say I am glad you are back on the '57! I like the plan....take your time and savor the build! I figure that is one big rat that the shop cats won't be chasing! The valve is a minor setback and easily fixed. Great video and great fun! Best wishes guys and take care!
I agree with Aaron, you need to lighten the front end with aluminum heads…. Definitely a safety issue with those stock cast heads 😂 Awesome job you guys! ❤
Hi guys, most trifives with headers come pretty close to the power steering box. On my 55, I have wrapped the headers with a titanium basalt heat wrap and I have also run the low pressure return line from the steering box through a transmission cooler before it returns to the power steering pump reservoir.
Ditch that power steering box and get yourself an electric power steering it’ll be manual you can adjust it for how much resistance you want. You have plenty of room for your headers electric power steering look it up. It’s cool.
40 is only a number Aaron, you do want you want. I’ve got a ‘few’ years on you but the number doesn’t matter-the attitude matters! Thank you both for the awesome content, and I’m so excited for this build. If y’all ever find a ‘63 Impala, I’ll be happy to lead you folks a hand anytime
I don't know what you are planning for accessory drive, but remember that water pump than came off was reverse rotation for use with serpentine drive. You will not be able to use it if you are doing a normal V-belt setup.
I👏am👏so👏excited👏about👏this👏build👏!!! I enjoy everything y'all do. And frankly, I've never been crazy about tri-fives. I just prefer oddball stuff that not everyone likes. But when you guys started digging into this and explained your general plan to get it on the road and enjoy it I knew it would be an awesome experience to watch it unfold. I learn something every time I watch your videos (and many other great youtubers) and I LOVE learning new automotive things. Killer video guys! Thank you as always for the awesome content and inspiration! 🤘🤘🤘
Can’t ever go wrong with a big block Chevy, love it! For the valve issue maybe rig up a radiator and give it the ole “Italian tune up” as VGG would say lol.
about 3:30 .. and that folks is the difference between cats & dogs , Finlay opened one eye & thought ' hello human ' .... cat almost got up ready to attack human .... lol

Guys, seems like the silicone on the hot header's will burn off over a short time, especially since it's the hottest part of the engine.
You better check if you need to change the cam. Boat engines are set up for low end torque.
Valve covers on backwards? Look to be 👍🏼
you know that you have to do some work on the fire wall to put a big block in the 57
Nice engine and very nice project. But why do you have the valve covers on the wrong sides of the engine? The caved in area on the front of the valve cover on your engine's passenger side goes on the driver side rear where it provides clearance for the power brake booster.
We learned that from this comment section!!! Thank you! We’ll switch them!
L29's get a bit of a bad rap- RPM is supposed to be what kills thems, since the rod bolts are so small. I have one in my Bayliner, too!
Knowing that Aaron likes a challenge, he wants reliability in a boat engine. While most would choose a Cummins, but I would love to see a marinized 6.7 liter diesel...
My name is mark. I watch your videos all the time. my son is Justin at summit racing he does videos for them all the time.
That’s awesome!!! He does a great job!
That is a nice big engine hoist. The bigger the better.
Shorts and a cutting torch, do not mix well, I can feel the burns.
All the stuff you are taking off is worth alot of money.
37:00 There's Flyin Sparks in them there garage!!! 😂
Marine engines do have a different cam to get more torque from down low . A car engine in a boat does not work great. Nice job.
You need to put a Yacht horn on it hahahaha love ya Dream Reevers hee hee I mean Captain 'Aaron' Sparrow
That’s what I do at work every day
Why you guys don't have half a million, or even a million subscribers is beyond me. Great video
We don’t get it either! 😂
Because have you seen the general population today?....LOL....More interested in TikTok and just buying/charging what you want instead of creating it.
I agree 100% , this is one of the greatest channels on RUclips, great intelligent people, and Emily's beauty, what's not to like ❤

I'm liking the progress. I would have chosen a manual, but it's not my car. It's going to be a badass car.
I wish I had my 40 year old body back, but at 69 Im not doing to bad. I was wondering why did the engine have a power steering pump on it? Was that to turn the lower unit on the boat?

1:05 I thot I was gonna see Stewart Smalley walk in lol😂😂😂😂
I’ve love it, my dream project, you guy’s are awesome, you make things look easy, keep on the good work. Bravo 👏
That's unfortunate but a set of aluminum heads would definitely help the weight ratio. 👍
I really like how you guys re powering boat and 57 Chevy. I maybe wrong but I thought that a cam for marine engine is not really desirable for a car application?
I enjoy all of your videos, but the ones with TK are my faves!
Finley is the Man. He is one of the most chill dogs that I know. He is at home wherever you two are, and supervising to the max while you work.
Love your libestick matches with the carboreta...

boat eng. has a different cam lower rpms you might look into a change
Great episode! Love the BBC for the 57!
you need a washing tip Aaron once you learn to use it will be alot less grinding
You all need to change out the stock suspension especially the front....Im hoping that is the plan......
40 is still young. I remember being 40. There are still many years of living left.
I barely remember 40, that's a long time ago!😢
enjoyable to see your videos what ever it is wish i could still do that level of work
Again, I love you guys weather your working on a car or boat. My loves is in both departments. I'll keep watching.
make a thin heat shield for the pwr streering pump
Hi guys .... for your sponsors , keep saying their name. it helps the algorithm. just saying. Mick Victoria Australia

Exciting build and congrats on buying family homestead.
Thanks to Summit for supporting this build… ima going to order stuff right now!
Did that motor come out of the cabin cruiser? Cause damn aint no way it looks that good after all that
I havnt read all the comments , I want to let you know you have the valve covers on the wrong sides. the plug wire brackets and the large slanted flat go in the rear. the slanted flat is to clear vacuum power brake boosters.
This was great!! I watch your videos on my IMac with a couple of limited speakers that have a subwoofer and when you fired that big boy up, oh man! Awesome low grumble, sweet!!! Excellent work, thanks!!
I guess a diesel duramax for the boat. Keep up the great vidoes! Love watching you guys and the family!
Serpentine water pumps usually turn backwards of v belt water pumps so careful.
As always, another awesome video. Love watching you two tear into engines. And....Finley adds so much too!
I like what he said Aluminum heads.
The engine is going to be a 16 liter Detroit. Aaron came from big truck world after all. Love y’all’s work.
One foot in front of the other, one step at a time it is running COOL.
This was super satisfying to see. And I loved the paper trick I never knew that. So it will actually suck the paper in because a valve is not fully closed ? That’s cool

What a Fantastic Video Emily & Aaron, you guys rock... Keep up the great work.
.May have some horses in there !
You youg people are so cute,I think Mr Finley wants hi own swag,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters
The fire on only one side concerns me.
Love your show. Talked to you at a couple of the drag and drive events. Just to let you know, the valve cover on the passage side should be on the driver side. That recessed area that is on the front is to be on the rear to clear a vacuum power brake canister.

you guys have "sparked me" haha....anyway you guys have really turned me on to mechanics and working on engines just graduated john deere tech school you guys helped me through it all..thanks!
Aaron, the crunching just means you are properly calibrated and reached the correct torque on that fastener!!
an idea for 1st start up for any engine that you guys may already know but just in case you dont know, before you put the distributor in the engine, install the oil filter and put the oil in the engine then get a high torque/power drill with a distributor shaft and put it down the distributor hole and prime the motor of oil then install the distributor and temporary fuel system and start the engine
Watching in the Philippines
I’d also recommend ceramic spark plug boots
You need to move this video into your 57 Chevy playlist as I had to go searching for it
Big block Chevy.
Nice!

Yeah but the oil fill and PVC hole are always on the passenger side.

Awesome‼️ guess I'll just have to keep sitting on the edge of my seat to see where ya go next! 😄
Check out Ride Tech bolt in system for the rear. Put one in my 55 and first install was done with help in 5 hours.

Not to nit pick but the valve covers are on wrong sides. The flat part should be driver side, clears master cylinder/ brake booster.
