Perfect timing!! I'm preparing to build a 350 SBC carbureted to swap into my 94 C1500 with its 5 speed manual transmission, replacing its 4.3L V6!!!! This is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you!!!
No cam lock plate or thread locker , use brass hammer , some balancers need to be heated up so they expand before pressing on crankshaft so tool don't break. Torque in increments .
Well we can’t get parts, we still have the engine and it’s not going anywhere. Glad parts 1 and 2 have been useful so far, hopefully can do part 3 very soon.
I can see many things. Might want to use a aluminium drift punch when you tap the woodruff key into the crankshaft to prevent damage, that is not the way to put the bottom timing gear on, and you should Put the crank seal in, before installing the timing cover.
Love the videos, great build... Never said what Howard's Cam you matched up with those heads?? What's the hydraulic flat tappet you used?? Great content keep it going 👍
Supposed to install the timing cover loosely then install the balancer so the seal is centered then torque the timing cover bolts. Thought these guys knew what they were doing??
Small block Chevy’s have dowel pins on both sides is the timing cover, so leaving it loose when installing the damper won’t change anything. But with all your knowledge you would know that……😂😂
At around 5:38 into your video you say use either the gasket or silicone but not both. Why? I dont trust those thin gaskets and usually put a thin layer of silicone on both sides. And ive never had a leak.
From my understanding the silicone doesn’t stick well to the gasket material which can cause leaks, using a thin layer is probably what prevented your projects from doing so
I've a 350 with z28 camel heads and what i sit with is,I get bead spark plugs.what would cause that? Is it that my carb(600 vc) isn't tuned right, the spark plugs to the left wil burn dark en the other side wil burn light Thanks for enemy answers
What trouble are you having? Did you install the distributor correctly, the rotor pointing to no.1 cylinder on the compression stroke? Many people make the mistake & put the distributor in 180° out.
Couple of questions why don't you just go up a little bit more money and put the double roller timing chain and gear on and in your Liquors why don't you soak them in a thing of oil for a couple hours and push down a little bit so they'll get full of oil before you ever inserted them that's the way I've always done it it works pretty good for me
I have an 87 k5 blazer TBI 350 5.7l v8 and I want to put a bigger cam in it. I’ve had several mechanics tell me this is not possible because of the MAP sensor. Is this true or do they not know how to do it? I’m not a me mechanic by any means so I’m searching for some answers.
4:17 I use an exhaust pipe with a flat piece of steel on the end for the hammer to hit. 7:23 I install the seal before installing the cover on the block, much easier. 10:45 That’s China made garbage for sure. They have no clue how to harden metal and is why your FT cams go flat. LOL.
Just a minor annoying thing. Calling the actual keys or key stock the key way. The keyway is the slot itself that the key slides into, either a scalloped design like in this crankshaft that uses a woodruff key. Or they can just be milled slots that take square or rectangular keys. Just something to keep in mind to maybe not confuse new builders or people new to mechanical terms or language.
Says once the inside of the timing cover is "wiped off, you don't wanna touch it." Butntouches the inside of the rod and main bearings. 🙄 Come on vato!

Damn near had a heart attack when you broke ur installer tool for the harmonic balancer...i woulda had to sit down jus to calm down over that lol
Theses videos are lifesavers and money savers. Thank you very much 🙏

What trans are you using?
Can't wait for part 3!
Great job, can't wait to see part 3
No cam lock plate or thread locker , use brass hammer , some balancers need to be heated up so they expand before pressing on crankshaft so tool don't break. Torque in increments .
Would have been nice if you finished building the motor. Its a shame you didn't do part 3. Yours was one of the best how to videos on a sbc build.
Well we can’t get parts, we still have the engine and it’s not going anywhere. Glad parts 1 and 2 have been useful so far, hopefully can do part 3 very soon.
@@ZHPGarage why can't you get parts?
About to do a carport rebuild wish me luck . My old hillbilly shade tree mechanic father made it was less complicated lol
Cut a small slot in the bottom inside lip of the timing chain cover to prevent a front cover seal leak!!!!
You guys are awesome.
Thank you.
Really appreciate your video!!
6:22
Why would that matter?
Isn't it a circle? So any point along it would work... right?
awesome job, i can do anything on the outside but i wanna tackle a rebuild on a 69 caprice 350, so i’ll definitely be watching this as i do mine…
Thanks, good luck with it!

hey when will you guys drop part 3 good I'm following your build for my own first build
We want to do it soon
@@ZHPGarage Awesome can’t wait to see it come together! Great job guys!!
nicw job, lots of helpful tips n tricks
Good stuff
That was an excellent video
Love the videos, great build...
Never said what Howard's Cam you matched up with those heads?? What's the hydraulic flat tappet you used?? Great content keep it going 👍
I like everything beside the oil pan gasket quark is my nightmare when it comes to gasket types
The one piece Felpro rubber gasket is definitely better
Heads are in! Part Three?
Supposed to install the timing cover loosely then install the balancer so the seal is centered then torque the timing cover bolts. Thought these guys knew what they were doing??
Never said once we knew what we were doing😂

Should be a good little motor
180 degrees off ? Isnt it suppose to be 12 and 12 on ur timing marks to be top dead center?
Great Video I was wondering how much did you guys spend for this engine built
I installed my new timing chain and gears. I have the dots lined up. Can the cam still be 180 degrees out? Thank You.
Did you check the clearance between the pick up and the bottom of the sump?
There are no idler pulleys in the oil pump. However, there is an idler gear.
im guessing the dampner had to be pulled off and flipped ... the 2 dots on the sprockets when they meet each other is TDC exhaust stroke .
Love the videos guys, super helpful. But if you dont come out with Part 3 I am going to have to call the FBI
Much appreciated. We’ll have to tell the FBI to overnight the parts we ordered so we can do a part 3 lol
You mention using trans gel to pack the inside of the seal on the front seal. What is that ….I’ve never used it?
It's similar to grease, you can find it at parts stores.
Cool video. Is there a reason you didn’t degree the cam? Just asking.
At around 5:38 into your video you say use either the gasket or silicone but not both. Why? I dont trust those thin gaskets and usually put a thin layer of silicone on both sides. And ive never had a leak.

@@OsproutO interesting
hi , did you make a 3rd video?????? I've been following and ready to fit my heads
The heads for this engine finally showed up, we’ll be having the 3rd video soon.
ZHP Garage waiting for 3 too - great videos fellas
The hi-pres. Oil pump is going to push the block plugs out. The should have been threaded pipe plugs!!!!!
Do u guys have a Part number for that timing chain?
I've a 350 with z28 camel heads and what i sit with is,I get bead spark plugs.what would cause that? Is it that my carb(600 vc) isn't tuned right, the spark plugs to the left wil burn dark en the other side wil burn light
Thanks for enemy answers
Are you guys ever going to get the pt.3?? I'd like to see your timing since I'm struggling with mine
Part 3 is out on our channel
What trouble are you having? Did you install the distributor correctly, the rotor pointing to no.1 cylinder on the compression stroke?
Many people make the mistake & put the distributor in 180° out.
Hi, just correct me if I'm wrong, but that is a Gen 1 block, so shouldn't there be a camshaft button installed to prevent camshaft end play/float.
Not with a hydraulic tappet cam. That’s for a roller cam.
Nylon oil pump shaft sleeve. Not plastic.
Couple of questions why don't you just go up a little bit more money and put the double roller timing chain and gear on and in your Liquors why don't you soak them in a thing of oil for a couple hours and push down a little bit so they'll get full of oil before you ever inserted them that's the way I've always done it it works pretty good for me
bravoo
Will you be doing with a part 3 soon ?
The heads still haven’t arrived, which is crazy. Will be doing it once they arrive.
@@ZHPGarage ready for part 3!!
Ahh. Waiting for part 3. Great, easy to follow videos.
I have an 87 k5 blazer TBI 350 5.7l v8 and I want to put a bigger cam in it. I’ve had several mechanics tell me this is not possible because of the MAP sensor. Is this true or do they not know how to do it? I’m not a me mechanic by any means so I’m searching for some answers.
It would be possible to do, but in our opinion the cost to power you would get out of changing it wouldn’t be worth it.
@@ZHPGarage we are rebuilding the engine at the moment and I wanted to make sure before we install the new parts in the engine. Thank you
350 SB, shes gonna be a runner.
500hp?
@@johnziegler204 to the wheels
All that work you should have degreed that cam and put a double roller on it
4:17 I use an exhaust pipe with a flat piece of steel on the end for the hammer to hit.
7:23 I install the seal before installing the cover on the block, much easier.
10:45 That’s China made garbage for sure. They have no clue how to harden metal and is why your FT cams go flat. LOL.
no part 3??
What are the three plugs in the timing chain casing called )
I had recently been experiencing the issue that he explained after I got my 350 block machined and built
Part 3?
Soon
Hi, you don’t mind if I ask for all the torque specs please
What are the torque specs for the 4 bolt fasteners on bottom oil pump ???
Add some lock tight and torque to 89in lb.
Is that a 7qt pan? Could i use that instead of a 5
Yes, 7 quart pan 8 quarts with oil filter. You can use a kick out pan as long as it will fit your Application.
JEEZ... why didn't you use a double row roller timing chain and gears ? Lot less drag and wear
We installed what the customer gave to us
Was that a harbor freight installer tool? 🤣
Haha no, it’s been used a ton
@@ZHPGaragelol i didnt think it was but I had to ask anyway!
when is part 3 coming ?
When we get parts
Why use a stock timing chain set.
Because there’s not enough valve lift to strain the stock timing chain in my opinion
Just a minor annoying thing. Calling the actual keys or key stock the key way. The keyway is the slot itself that the key slides into, either a scalloped design like in this crankshaft that uses a woodruff key. Or they can just be milled slots that take square or rectangular keys. Just something to keep in mind to maybe not confuse new builders or people new to mechanical terms or language.
Cork gasket? *FACEPALM*
That's an Air Gap intake manifold that's why you see the notch cut in it.
Mmmmm…no
SFI balancer… 7qt pan, HV pump…. Aluminum cast timing cover… Single row chain… stupid…. The upgrade to a double roller is so cheap…
It’s not making any power, what does it need a double roller for?
Says once the inside of the timing cover is "wiped off, you don't wanna touch it." Butntouches the inside of the rod and main bearings. 🙄 Come on vato!
I heard flex plate??? Not a fly wheel its an automatic
Part 3?
Part 3 and 4 are on our channel
