Painting a small-block Chevy engine (plus bonus 1060HP blower SBC footage!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Work continues on our Chevy small-block V8 engine. Davin preps the block and heads by taping off everything he doesn't want Chevy Orange. Then it's off to Traverse Body & Paint where the magic happens. As a bonus to this video, Davin provides some iPhone footage of the supercharged 400cc small-block Chevy engine he built for his nostalgia front-engine dragster, and walks us through his first trip to the dyne with it, complete with some eye-popping horsepower numbers!

I like how your dragster engine blows up the dyno room with things flying around. Nice engine.
😂😂common that's not surprising with open pipes into the dyno room...
The dyno room can't contain all that power! Love it!
Would really love to see some videos of the dragster in action. Very cool.
Us, too! We'll make sure to get some shots once the engine is sorted and back in the car.
Yea, now that we've been properly "Teased", further videos are Required !! Where all do you run?
Would love to see some video of your drags to running when it's back together.. Must be pretty crazy going down the strip!
Yes, please!!
Those valve covers will look stunning once the engine is back together! I can't wait to see the final assembly.
Awesome you chose to share some of your private life with us Davin. I hope you are proud of those number because that's impressive 👍👍
Hey Davin, really appreciate all these videos you've been doing - I've watched them all and thoroughly enjoyed them all!
What I appreciate most is your "get out and get your work done", ive been working on a frame replacement for my 1984 Nissan 720 for the past 11 months and I'm so happy that I've now completed it, it's insured and back on the road. Still a few minor things to do, but your inspiration has helped me get through it!
Next up is working on my 1990 Nissan 240sx and my dad's old 82 Honda 450.
Off to the shop to get my work done though!
Awesome! Send us some photos of your projects: video(at)Hagerty(dot)com
Wow Davin, that's perfection. That 283 engine is finished in color 100 times better than GM did back in the day!
You're a artist, Mr Davin! Thank's for share knowledge!
I've never seen a motor go so hard it breaks the dyno room!! You can smell the freedom through the phone
😂😂
Glad you got one of your projects done! Or at least a big step closer to being done! That Dyno graph was looking like you are about to have a great time!!!! Congratulations!!!!!
That sounded sweet on the dyno going to make that dragster a blast to pilot.
I would literally donate a year’s worth of volunteering for whatever different charity you want. All I want is to buy one of your scratch and dent engines for my dad’s old truck. It was worth a try
Who's been a busy boy in his shed...
That's a very nice engine and boy oh boy did that thing make some nice horsepower.
Looking fwd to seeing this go into the drag car and then watch you hang-on down the 1/4mile.
Oh yeah - that's also a very nice orange colour.
Glyptal is great I have used it for years never a problem I used to use it in a restoration shop where I worked, also if it is good enough for racing engines it sure as hell is good enough for me.
Wonderful work as always. Just my 5 cents: all you folks painting the engine (or whatever else) for wax and grease remover check if it's also removing silicones. They are in various different products, are quite heat resistant and can make a bad day if not removed before painting.
9:58 nice! blows the lamp from the ceiling
Awesome. I painted my sbc green and black to match the truck it's in. Turned out great!
What a Hoot! I am finishing my street/strip car hopefully this summer, will have to watch for you down in N MI Drag-way! Zoom! Zoom!
Wow, it's so good when a plan comes together. Nice
That rail job is awesome thanks for sharing that with us would love to see more of that sucker
Very nice rail, I like the old school drag cars. That's some good hp. Keep enjoying life, don't let the haters ruin it.
“How dare you tease me”-every drag engine
NEVER would have guessed Davin a dragster guy! Wow!
YES! Please show more of your car! Also, can I come work for you? We could be Davin and Davin with Hagerty!
I get super excited when I get an alert saying there a new video from you, truly makes my day.
Awesome! I really enjoyed the dyno runs. Over 1000 horse and climbing…👍
Love the Chevy orange on the small block. Plus, it was great seeing Davin's personal project. Woohoo!
Okay I see you're at it again you're adding perfection with a supercharger all right it was the blower that got me to watch the video thanks again for having a great show
Brother, I would really appreciate seeing more content like this. Getting to know you on a personal level is something that I really like. The cool toys are a plus as well
I got looked at like I had two heads when I posted pictures of my latest engine build where I did Glyptal on the inside... Mind you I did a previous engine in 2015 the same way and never had any issues so it wasn't my first. Got all the comments ranging from, "why waste time painting the inside" to, "that paint is going to flake and clog your oil pickup". LOL 👍
Man that paint job on the small block looks great and your motor in the dyno room is unreal!! It took out the lights!! Awesome!!!!
Love ya, man! EVERY time I see a notification for one of your videos it puts a smile on my face. I usually save it for last like it's dessert from a meal. Hopefully we'll see a run or two from your dragster this summer!?!
Great video as always Davin. I'm a RockAuto buyer as well as a Hagerty client. (4 cars) Thanks for sharing your shop time with us.
Maybe you'll get some footage? That should be a I'll definitely get some footage of the dragster in action. Especially after seeing that phenomenal small block. I think a lot of us would really enjoy it.
Your neighbors must love it when you fire that blown engine up!😂✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Your engine is a thing of beauty, Davin! TY for sharing and helping us all to be motivated! :o)
Love to come see you send it when the car is ready.
Great stuff my friend… I am a Ford guy but I love watching all of this go down. Kudos
I like this dude. Easy to relate to easy to understand what he says
Watching your videos all the way here in Fiji
definitely motivating me to go into the automotive industry
I love how the engine is clapping at idle.
Iv always been curious about your drag racing. Drag racing is my favorite, can’t wait to see more!
Wow that thing comes up quick, gonna be a literal blast on the track,, swweeet
Davin you bloody legend!! Glad to see you getting a lot more resistant to the "trolling experts" out there and just do your thing. Love your work and that 400 small block, very spicy👌
Well, we indulged you watching your Small Block in a Dyno, now, indulge us and show more footage of motor and car!
Great video, Thanks! 🙂
I was jealous before because of the work you get to do and seeing the beautiful engines. After this video I hope you understand when I say I hope you get an itch in the small of your back that moves when you try to scratch it and my jealous self can't wait to see more of your dragster in the future. Great work!
Let's start off from the ceiling! That was so friggin cool.
Thank you for letting us be there with you as you tore up the place 🙏!
Ha Haaa!
I just stumbled onto your channel, and I am really enjoying what I am seeing!! Keep up the excellent work!!
This may well be the most thoughtfully built and painted small cube SBC two barrel engine in the world. Nice!
We gotta see the rail running!
I would love to see you guys do that "Day at the track with Davin".
Thanks for sharing a little extra beyond the normal build!
Awesome! I if you don't mind me adding, that blower belt is looking a little sketchy... might need a little more spring in that follower. And good luck, I hope you kill it out there once you get it planted!
I bet you nearly had a heart attack in that dyno room followed by a massive sigh of relief that the engine is OK and it was just the light fixture coming down.
Awesome, great to see tour personal project!
Can’t wait to see the whole digger ✌️
Nice dragster!
That last dyno clip was glorious.
Davin we have got to see what she does at the drag strip ! Holy smokes...
Wow.... that's sweet! Good luck on the strip and please post videos of your runs, I would love to see them!
Let's go!! Hang on baby!! Go cart on steroids!! I love it!!
This is why I love this RUclips show!
Bet your neighbors love you Davin 😅
Thanks for sharing that home project WOW that motor was cranking!!✌️🇺🇲
Would LOVE to see more of your own stuff Davin.
Definitely need to show some runs of your rail....
Nice!
Oh man, that's a sweet noise
Even a Ford man has a soft spot for the mighty small block.
In this episode you never mentioned what type of paint you used. That orange sure is beautiful.
Awesome video, start to finish.
That engine sounds healthy
Man , Cool stuff and I would LOVE to see the rail !!!!
I'm surprised that they didn't torch dry the iron block and heads . I did a few race engines with my dad back in the days and he always said to do it so the paint won't chip away, it'll last longer.
You blew a light out of the ceiling with that monster
Yup… need to hear WAY more about this front engine dragster sir.
Love it. Show us more please. Thank You
"Wht your dad's job?"
"He just play some metal lego sh!t that unfotunately can generate 1000hp"
WOW SHIZELSTICKS 1000 + HP
You better hold on to something Brother 🤯👍👍👍
What hoping for the paint details. Maybe you could let us know next video. Thanks!
I've never seen a 400cc small block chevy.🙂
My all time favorite the chevy 400 small block is king
looks like the water pump ended up getting more than just clear
Yup…. Miscommunication… 🤷🏻♂️
The paint was nice and all, but holy moly that drag motor! I'm pretty sure the supercharger is larger than the entire motor in my little Mazda CX-5.
After washing your block with detergent or chemistry do you ever use a torch on the block to pull the oils out and combust them prior to painting the casting? I say someone doing it and the casting did flash off and change color to a more pure iron casting color. Smoke and mirror process, I don’t know, you are the expert!
YES11 more dragster!!! please! :D
More dragster content!
Sweet Ride,I have a 400 sbc that my goal is to build into a street hot Rod
Can't wait to see that dragster in action!! How about some in depth specifics on the engine build?
Fun video, thanks!
When the engine itself needs seat belt. You know it's going to fly.
Good stuff!!
Show us more of the dragster!!
I would be like a kid in a candy shop if I heard that lope from my neighbors garage.
love this channel
More Redline for the People!
One sweet Mouse Motor!
Killer Build!👊😎
Well done sir....I always enjoy your content. P.S. the rail motor is badass.
I like to see that old classic Chevrolet truck rebuild on your RUclips channel just asking my friend
There is a series on getting the chevy truck rebuild! Go to the channel and search.
another great video and love the 400. it looked like the pressure in the dyno knocked the bulbs out of the overhead light?? I guess a 1000 hp will do that. Thanks for sharing.
Thats awesome besafe!
1000 HP,,,WOO HOO!!!
