Factory rails, power steering and a big block makes a tight squeeze for a header that flows good. I've used Hooker super comps and Hedman Husler race versions on them, they are still real tight. You get more room with a manual box but lose power assist, which is needed if you plan on driving it in a city. There are a couple of smaller power boxes that give you more room. Classic industries shows their part PSC67744. It's a 400 series box that is a lot smaller than the 800 series you have.
Wow you have no idea what a game changer that makes for me. I will be ordering that box very soon. Thank you so much for the suggestion. I had no idea that existed. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros Great series of videos. They've come in very handy building my 454. Why would you change the steering box if the Doug Thorley headers cleared it? I am about to drop my engine in a '68 Camaro with the 800 series box so will have to face the same issue.
Old School tip: The old time mechanics like my grandfather use to keep a dime in their tool box because it was the perfect gap for dealing with points.
Holy cow that thing is half the size as the starter on my 305, no more arm shaking as I'm trying to hold the starter with one hand and get the bolt going with the other
Good morning friend , I am also an engineer from Corinth Greece. I watch you and admire you for your characteristic patience for the order in your tools and for your knowledge. As an engineer I have been doing this job for more than 20 years, I want your opinion on the following question. As much as Kian I have searched, I have not found a substantiated answer. The question is, ... Why in some cars the fan wings maintain unequal distances from each other. ??? Simple question but so difficult to a competent answer. Anyway, thank you for reading my message. Be well and keep the passion for this job ......
Thank you for watching George! I really couldn't tell you there are a bunch of different ideas on why to do that but honestly I'm a mechanic not an engineer.
There are a few reasons why the fans are made that way. One is to reduce the noise level as the differences in the spaces between the blades removes some of the drone that equally spaced blades can create. The other is to create a simple undulating pressure wave but not at a single frequency. That helps move air better than a constant flow. The next reason is cost, as long as they can balance the blade and it provides enough airflow it's ok. Another reason is harder to determine. The "missing" blades generally allow for access to things like water pump bolts or similar while in the assembly rooms at the plant.
I'm not sure if these questions have been asked: 1) Did you go into this project with a budget in mind? if so, then 2) Are you still within your budget? and 3) do you have an ongoing budget summary? Thanks. Great work!!
1. Not really. 2. We are right around 6k with the machine work. 3. Haven't really been keeping track. It's a work of love so I have been going slow and buying things slowly. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros That's what I was thinking in terms of budget. Makes sense for the work and parts you are putting into it. It's nice to see the cost of aluminum heads come down. More practical and likely affordable over adding large valves to stock iron heads. I did like the machine work and clean up on the block. The shop did nice work! Super clean! Thanks for the follow up. Keep up with the awesome vids!
Regarding your Thermostat Housing, yours is a very basic housing; the OE for my application is showing as having an additional two ports on it, as well as the main hose port. What would those be for?
Best 454 series. I am currently using this on my 454 nova build and it has helped a ton. Also is there a part number for the headers thanks for the help
Hey thanks a bunch for watching Justin. Those are a Doug Throrley THY-313-C I think that is the right part number. I tried 4 different sets of headers to get a good fit on my car. Thanks for watching!
@2CarPros I just found this and watched from #1 to this one. Amazing! Are we all caught up and hows the progress coming along? Is there a #15 video somewhere?
Very cool! Thanks so much for watching Mark! You are all caught up and we are still making this series. Hopefully #15 will be up Saturday, I am really aiming for that.
I went with Doug Throley headers and I love them. They have cut outs for bigger head bolts. I believe the part number is DOU-D320. I will definitely do an update video for the car soon! Thanks for watching!
Did you have to modify the perch for the motor mount? I’m doing a similar build for my 67 camaro and was having a hard time getting the motor mounts and the perches to line up just right.
Oh man that was a saga all by it's self. So there is a difference between small block perches and big block perches. So I had to swap mine out because I thought that the perches would be the same. Here is the link to them www.classicindustries.com/product/1967/chevrolet/camaro/parts/k702.html with these you just barely have enough room. Thanks so much for watching Richard!
I love the simplicity of Old School
It is refreshing to be so simple sometimes. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros Just watched a video on Ford hand made Coyote motors....I got lost...LOL LOL LOL Have a nice day.

Works great too! I am sold on these little starters. Thanks for watching!
Start the engine!!!!
We are getting there! Make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss when this engine fires into life. Thanks for watching!

What size bolts did you use to bolt down the thermostat housing?
Did you put the bolts on the flex plate to the torque converter? When you put the cover on, it look pretty led like that were missing.
Yeah they are on. Thanks for watching!
So what kind of headers you go with ? Do you have a part number? Also show a update of your camero do a Burn out lol

What’s the part number for those headers my c10 has the same problem

What headers did you use to fit?
My new favorite header company. Doug Thorley! Thanks for watching Victor!
Who is doing the wiring and are you going to make video how to wiring her up please
I did the wiring and I show exactly how to wire the engine up. Thanks for watching!
do all these parts also fit 400 t trans?
Yep. Thanks for watching!
