It's finally time to get the 55 back out! Last year when we hurt our engine, our spare one was not ready - we were waiting on parts. So we ended up sitting out the second half of the race season. But! Finally all of the pieces have come together and we are putting together my new engine to get ready for Sick Week coming up at the end of January. This is very similar to the engine that was in it before, just a few upgrades. Plus! now we can get the other one repaired and it can go back in dad's Nova finally! Check out all the pieces that make this 3,000 hp target possible, as well as why we choose some of the pieces that we choose to run.

Wow, Alex knows more about her engine than a lot of good mechanics. She's lucky to have a father that brought her up to know everything that is going on with her/his cars. He's lucky to have a daughter so hands on and smart. It's clear she is not a spoiled brat and appreciates and works hard for what she has.
Awesome that the nova will return and dad gets his fun .
We're not sure exactly how it will return yet (as in what capacity), but it will be back together at least :)
Thanks for the update. Wondered what happened. I enjoy watching all the live feeds.
To check the bore size on the big end and small end of the rods look into air gauges.They are more precise. The heat in your hand can affect the reading of a snap gauge or a micrometer and calipers. I used them at work for rod bearings beater clearance.
Thank you very much. I’m 65 and like your dad I love the in and outs of the motor. Nobody makes these kind of videos anymore. My bucket list would be watching someone like your dad putting a motor together from start to smoke. So thank you very much for sharing.
Dennis.. You Are THE MAN... Your Build it skills are Off The Chart.... You have made ( to me ) the BEST 55 On The Planet..
This channel is going to go INSANELY VIRAL very soon! The information in this video is so valuable. Best of luck to the Taylor family on the upcoming events!
We’ll see what happens! Thanks though. I appreciate you watching!
Isn't it just. Wicked piece there and can't wait to see it come together. Been too long but we and the Taylor's know that.
Just found your page
Fantastic 😊
Hope it keeps growing
@@RidingWithAlexTaylor Another Great, Grand, Informative, useful, helpful, beneficial video Full of clearly described, explained along with "Show and Tell". 🙂
Thank You Much.🤗
All The Best, Much Success with All of Your Quests, Health, Happiness and Well Being 😊, Sincerely☺
That’s great news guys, I’m happy to see it coming together, but more importantly that Dennis is getting his motor back, I hope to see you guys racing together soon
For sure! Ready to have the nova moving again!
Yer 55 3000hp one
One of the enduring "great things" about motorsport is that there are many good answers- there are also many differing situations. Then it comes down to "it's your motor- it has your parts in it, so it's is all your choice". I've been challenged a few times for my decisions, this leads invariably to "It works for me this year and the last five, and nobody's got time to fix it if it aint broke to begin with!". Once I built a really nice '67 Chevy C 10 and painted it metallic green; for all the guff, I paid for the paint and it got mentioned in Semi Custom in a show I entered. My paint, my car, my way. So, build well, build conservative and enjoy the ride- and put one in Steve's eye again!
Excellent.... Alex and Dennis make such a good team... Alex you're one lucky girl having a dad like Dennis in so many ways...
Lucky Daughter Lucky Father great family Champion Mum too i bet , no trophy for Mum but a winner in the family life the biggest trophy of all.
I love the relatiionship Alex has with her Father, a real role model! Alex's Father is amazing 🤩. He goes out there every day making sure that eveything goes well for his daughter Alex. Brings a small tear 😿 to my eye. Great job cool 😎 Father and Daughter Team! Thanks for the video 📸.
You were dearly missed! Now I can’t wait to see you race again!
Glad to be back!
I've had the same RaceTec pistons in my little 12.5 to 1 c/r 355 for 4 yrs now. Indestructible so far. Price wasn't the cheapest, but the reliability is priceless.
Your 55 is hands down my favorite car you guys have! Scott Taylor is such a nice guy and well connected!!! glad he got you guys hooked up, can't wait to see that motor come to life.
I used to hang out in a shop owned by my friend Patrick Mcreery here in Muncie. I would watch him rebuilding engines and transmissions and always had fun just being in that environment. Watching you and your dad takes me back to those days and puts a smile on my face. Keep up the great videos.
Good luck to you both this year.
One bad 55! Be safe 👍🏻
Thanks!
You two are perfect for the sport. I’ve been trying to do the same with my daughter. I’m close. Just have to finish the 64 gto.
Thank you. Good luck with finishing your build and getting your daughter involved :)
Steve morris just made a very informative video about piston design and redesigning his pistons for his smx. Also pistions coatongs which is very interesting you should check it out... If its good enough for a 5,000 hp drag and rrive might be good enough for y'all to look into 💪 talks about coating oil pump gears and all sorts of stuff.
Wow, I am an old motor head and this is one of the most concise motor videos I have seen. Father and Daughter teams are BadAss, to begin with, but Alex you are definitely much more than a driver, Your understanding of the function, design, and application of all the components is phenomenal. Your Dad must be the proudest father at the track. I learned a lot about some of the new technology being used in today's Hot rods. Good Luck with the 2024 Season.
HI GREAT TO SEE YOU ARE BOTH DOING WELL !! AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE ENGINE WILL BE GREAT TOO !! ALOT OF GREAT PARTS !! TODD FROM SNOWEY MICHIGAN
I really enjoy all the information you and your dad give. Great videos thanks
Thanks for watching!
This was such a great video. I absolutely love the relationship that is clearly so visible with Alex and Dennis.
You two are cool. Best wishes to all your endeavors!!
Merci to Dennis about this new parts... I like this honest pers & calm
Good luck to you all, can't wait to see the 55 back out again!
You folks have got it going on!
Dennis has done his research and is ready to go.
I like the simplicity of the combination you have going on! Makes sense. Can't wait to see the the motor go together and the "test " passes!
I’m new to the channel, so I have to ask. Is this a father daughter team here? That would be epic but if not still awesome!
yes father daughter and family. @@highproof2735
Solid gold!! you two are more than inspiring as a father daughter team. My daughter is 10 and idolizes you. She has your live love dragrace shirt you signed for her❤ keep it up! Shout out to Dennis hell of a dad you are
Thanks for the update and God bless all
I concur with the intentional and thorough thought and planning, AND keeping it simple, but with excellent parts. Best of luck this season!
Awesome Congratulations can't wait to watch you hit the track !!!!
Great, video. Please give more updates. Love the in depth knowledge.
I hope you're filming Dennis building the engine. That would be awesome to watch... There's a lot of great info in that video. Thanks for sharing it. Best of luck this year with all your ventures. Hope to see you down the road.
Great video, it wasn't long enough need to know more about the Pistons. And more about the Rings,
Best of luck to you both.
Have fun and stay SAFE.
Again thank you so much for sharing as much as y’all did !! I enjoy watching you guys and the workmanship of Dennis is fantastic!!! Quick question … are us fans allowed to visit your shops ?
Thanks for sharing guys! Pretty awesome getting a little drag n drive insight from the two of you!
Wow can’t wait to you guys at Sick summer this year. If you can make it. Great detail on the building of this motor really appreciate all the info. It’s crazy how much we learn out here from these story’s
Great info tonight, looks like a very confident build. Best of luck @ Sick Week.
Great video, love listening to people who are so knowledgeable and genuine.
Keep the videos coming please
Of course I watched it all . Always good seeing both of you .
Excited to see the 55 making its way back out onto the street! Great video with lots of good info!!
Dailey dry sumps with their billet pans have most of the scavenge lines built into the pan. The crank scraper is actually where the oil is scavenged and have screens built in incase debris makes its way into the pan the pump isnt ruined. His pumps are awesome too. The pressure section is a gear pump like the traditional sb/bb pump. The scavenge pumps move a lot of air so he uses mini roots blowers as pumps. The final scavenge stage is a centrifical blower. So the oil is whipped to the outside and the air remains on the inside and one scavenge line returns oil to the tank and the other returns mainly air. You need two return lines to the tank. One supply line to the pressure stage and an output line going through a remote mount filter and then oil cooler if you want then to the oil input on the engine block. Thats it unless you want to add additional scavenge sections for the lifter galley or valve cover or turbo drain lines. Peterson makes a nice remote filter mount that has a small oil pump built into it that you spin with a battery drill to prelube your engine whenever you want. You will retain horsepower your already making that is robbed from you by windage. You can prelube your engine each time you start it. If you run enough scavenge stages to pull 15in of vacuum in your crankcase it will pull the rings to the cylinder walls and they will seal better making more power. Eliminating the windage tray and crank scraper and moving the oil pump outside the engine actually makes a simpler oil system. Everything you invest in can be reused on other engines in the future. Better oil controll more horsepower without running a more radical setup or more boost. The ability to prelube your engine everytime you start it. Your just giving away horsepower and engine life by not having a beautiful billet aluminum Dailey oil pan and pump on your engine lol.

What a huge amount of information packed into this video!! I learned an incredible amount from the two of you today!! Thank very much for all of this information. I hope to see more videos after the engine is installed and tuned!! Great stuff from Taylor Racing!!
Nice engine, I hope this year is even better and faster than last year!!!! See you soon 😊
Cool video like the way you explain and show what your using to build a new engine. Good luck with the build. Have a great season.
Can't wait to watch some sick week stuff from frozen snow covered NE Iowa. Thanks for sharing
You guys have such a seemless fluid interaction with one another... such a joy to watch!!!
Great video and fantastic tech content ( that I can use). I will be so glad to see the 55 back in action , I can't wait. Many thanks.
Wow the info on this topic is so digestible love thank you both
Thank you for watching! That was the goal 😄
Hope you film motor build , super informative your Dad is a mastermind 👍😃
Glad to see you are progressing on the engine. I always thought that a 509 was kind of small- I hope the 540 works out as well as the 509.
So happy to see big block stuff. No mention of cam diameter and if that is something you have changed over the years or if you started and stayed I'm assuming at least 55 mm. Looking forward to seeing the results at the track. Hopefully the retro Nova gets back together this year.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,My guess is , its stock BBC ................No need for exotics........
Awesome content, I could sit through hours of this stuff. Can't wait to see the finished result and a match up hopefully with Cleetus and Mullet. The 55, mullet, Steve Morris' wagon and Tom Bailey's beast are my favourite cars. Good luck guys. BE SAFE!!! Happy New Year to you all to.
Don't throw the rods out. If you want , you can give them to someone that buys your apparel or sell them on or site with an autograph. Your fans would like that.
We’re going to look into that 😄
@@RidingWithAlexTaylor Imagine going to a Rod Run, and earning a trophy... that uses those Aluminum rods in the design... so sweet just thinking about it.
Also sell the used valve springs @RidingWithAlexTaylor
Ooh love this idea! I also would love to implement in a trophy!!
Simp harder
Thank you for rambling.
I love that you take time to tell us what your doing how your doing an why.
It's not manywho care to takethe time to do that .
Be safe , have fun
GOD BLESS
Very good info , "GREAT INSIGHT" please stay on it love to see all your milestones . Alex / Dennis good winning team.
Best of luck on your upcoming season with the 55 Chevrolet. That is some good stuff you two have profiled. I agree with your keep it simple attitude and all of your time learning what works and what doesn't.
loved the info, in parts detail and how they work together
Great video Dennis & Alex.... thanks
I have run those blocks in my car for a few years know and have been very happy and have never had a failure even with blowers😎 . Awesome video you guys and thanks for sharing . It’s going to get way cold for you guys in the next couple of days . Nice to have bad ass shops to play in.🤙🏻
Loved watching your dad geek out over the engineering going into the motor; you can tell he loves that stuff. Watching you hand off to him & letting him run was priceless. Thanks, Alex. The insight was tremendous.
awesome info. love the shop talk about the engine parts and why.
World Blocks are Rock Solid... great finish, hard cast iron, plenty of meat on lifter bosses..
At the rate yall are going being in that consistent 6 second run setup, I have a feeling that eventually you'll have to go to a dry sump or just get an SMX from Steve. But, I wish the Alex Taylor Racing Team all the best this Drag and Drive season of 2024
I think they’re showing everyone that you don’t have to have that to make the power they’re making right now.
Great video! I love the insights into technology and seeing your wonderful family working together.
Thanks for watching!
If it's any help, talk to David Freiburger about oil pans. On an episode of Engine Masters they tested pan who's windage tray design added and extra 28 HP by itself. Pretty cheap power for the money.
Alex you and your dad Dennis are awesome people and can't wait to see the new engine done and the 55 running again and the camao going
You could probably use a gage pin for checking dia. of the rod small end. set up a go, no-go gage. You two make a great team. Wishing you well this year.
Awesome, well explained video. You know it's good when a 45min video seems like 10min.
I am so excited to see the 55 come to life! 🎉
Same!
@@RidingWithAlexTaylor Totally! 👍🏻
Congratulation guys look forward to the first run
That’s Gonna be a Bad Son of a Gun! Great Video Look’n Forward to See’n It Run🏁🏁🏁
This was a great video, keep up the great work!
Awesome video alex. You two work so good together, i love it
Great combination. How fun that will be!
I love it....I'm glad I'm not the only one that still advocates for wet sump. love you guys! good luck this year!!!!!
super great tech tips...thank you both and have a super race season! have a blast testing in FL :)
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching 😄
Awesome video. It's funny that my NA Hemis all have BBC rod pins. Your BBC has Hemi pins, but at much higher power level! Good luck with that new bullet.
Man this Sick Week is gonna be a blast. Can’t wait to see you guys out there
Looking forward to being there!
Sick week 2023?
@@beege1968I caught that as well. I’m surprised she didn’t catch it editing.
Is 55 yercar
Personally... I can't wait to see some assembly and testing videos on this powerplant. Looks like it's really going to be a beast.
Outstanding Dennis and Alex!
Love the video with all the engine tech. It is nice to know what brands make good stuff. I hope you have a great racing year and the engine works well for you. I have been trying to build a Ford big block for the last 2 years and it has been quite the adventure to say the least. Keep the videos coming. =]
I really enjoy this video format, guys! More please!
Thanks for the feedback! We’ll work on getting more out :)
Years of hard-won experience, boiled-down into one of the most interesting hours of youtube I've seen in ages!
Thanks guys, you're rapidly becoming legends!
Great content. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
I use a Motown World Aluminum Block, which they no longer make. Have you ever looked at New Century Performance? There pricy, but really nice Blocks!!!
Very interesting .. thanks for the free education guys !!!!
Of course! Thanks for watching 😄
can't wait to see the build video.
Great stuff, thanks
Great info , always enjoy your channel .
Love all your content. Thank you
My brother ran an Isky cam in his SBC, back in the 1970’s. (Isky has been around for a bunch of years).
Will be great seeing the flying shoebox hookin and bookin again. Just make sure the flux capacitor is up to snuff😉That was pure video gold when the doors flew off even though it put y'all in a pinch.
Haha! Already double checked it 😂
Talk to Steve Morris on the bolt torque on the rods. After his rod delete issue he is very versed on rods. Not saying you are not, but sharing knowledge is the beauty of our families.
love this info, great job guys
Thank you for the video everyone! Will we ever see the final build video on the Challenger, or more on the COE?
That looks like a great build those are some really nice race parts. 👍😎👍
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Completely describes the entire engine, and why certain parts were chosen. Can't wait to see the outcome!
Love watching you and your dad. And laughed at Steve morris last video when you called him out sick week is going to be sick. Nolan is definitely one of a kind laughed my behind off at his videos fro pro when he was asking all his questions to everyone.
The "oring" is actually a "sealing ring" that's why the gap doesn't matter, the oring is for locking the gasket in place so it doesn't "push out"
Nice rundown of parts and plan's I know you didn't give away all the secret sauce,but you shared more than most would.
Great content thanks for sharing
