Nice!! That is what i do budget builds. I don't have much into this build its a stock gen 1 bottom end, stock vortec heads, and a flat tappet cam with LS6 valve springs. Your truck is going to fly when it gets traction. I will have some videos of a c20 coming up with different motors in it. Good luck!
Nice! I have 2 or 3 motors ahead of it right now. When I test the high rev vortec 355 I was going to do a transmission comparison. I have a powerglide with a higher stall that should work better with it. I will use it to compare the transmissions.

Nice i love budget performance based builds. That is what I'm trying to do. I will not have alot money into the engine builds. I will check out your channel.
This a nice cam. It sounded nice and had decent midrange. I would like to see if a cam with less duration and a tighter lobe separation would be better suited for this engine. I will try it out eventually and report back with a video.
Ah, the often overlooked and underrated 700dp. It has the same secondary venturi size as the 750 but a little smaller primary venturi to help with low speed drivability.
I agree. This one has stock dished pistons , vortec heads and a long duration cam. I wasn't sure how it would work out. I do not think there was any spark knock and could of ran on 87 octane. I would like to experiment with detonation and quench to see the effects. I do have a motor that has spark knock. I have associated that with oil consumption and a lack of proper tuning. Thanks for the comment.
What is your rearend setup? What gear and are leaf’s in factory location?? Also what size rear wheel/tire combo? Thanks I have a 66 I’m putting together also.
sweet car, sounds great, but why a wet burnout and then not stage in the rubber zone? Does the wet burnout help heat up the tires, seems like it would be a lube and not let get propper heat
@@mikewillett5076 I would like to try to optimize this engine with a different cam and intake. I need to do some research on cam selection. It would interesting to see what a more optimized cam would do.
@@nylegreen261 . You might already know but as a general rule, going to a tighter lobe separation helps dynamic compression/makes up for compression being low vs the size of the cam.

Awesome job brother Im not knocking your build but I think the intake is to big for your set-up unless you have high compression I think a performer RPM air gap would work phenomenal love the car 🤙
Sweet engine! Question tho as I’m still a novice: I always hear you want a 4 bolt main over and over. I noticed you said you used a 2 bolt. I’m guessing if you know what you’re doing and build it right the 2 bolt will hold it together? As I said I’m still learning but I love the car and channel. Definitely subbed!
A 2 bolt 350 with stock bolts is fine for up to 6000+ naturally aspirated, 6500+ with good aftermarket bolts. I know a guy who's taken em over 7000 semi regularly with stock bolts and they held, but there was evidence of "cap walk". But they didn't break.
Thank you. I haven't experienced any problems with 2 bolt blocks. I usually keep them under 6500 rpm's. All my 2 bolt 350's sbc have been under 400 horsepower though. I have had a couple of 2 bolt main 400 sbc's with aftermarket bolts that were shifted at 7000 rpm and im guessing 500 horsepower.
Right now I have 2 dual planes that fit a performer and air gap performer rpm. I was thinking I could try the rpm air gap to see if there is a performance difference. Thank you I will look into the 300-36.

@@thereluctantgearhead4544 . That's good info. I've seen dyno pulls (on a 406 at that) and the single plane was worth only maybe 10hp at the top (over 5200) but lost considerable torque through the midrange (from 3000-5000ish) vs the RPM. Guess it just boils down to the combo.

Where do you live Nyle Green?
A few miles outside of morris illinois. 70 miles west of Chicago.
What converter and gear are you using? Had that combo many yrs back just different heads
4.56 and a 3500ish stall were just about right
When changing out the trans a couple of months ago. I found out the converter is actually a 3000 stall b&m. The gear is a 4.56
Would like you to do a budget build on a 383 with stock t.b.i.heads instead of vortec it's all about the torque thanks for the great video's.
Hold up, your piston is 33 thou in the hole?
Yes I have checked 5 motors recently and they have a range of .033 to .045. I will address this in the future.
