    Great video Chad! That engine looks like its pretty darn good shape. If it was me, I'd polish up that crank, resize the rods, punch the block .020" over and find a nice 10:1 piston with a modern ring pack. She'll live a good long and reliable life as a daily driver. 🏁

    My dad had an old squarebody back in the day and he had the highway steer tires and big old nobby mud tires on the back... that reminds me of that truck.

    New Forged Pistons, with that steel crank, aluminum heads and that air gap intake. You got yourself a nice performance big block that will handle some Juice when you want to really show out. Overall thats a good one to build.

    Another great video. I lobe these big blocks.
    What to do with it? I guess it really depends on what you want it to do. For a daily driver just refresh it with rings and bearings. Maybe up the compression and cam it for some fun. Cheaper that way and you will still have a great motor.
    Lots of suggestions here on punching it out and building a monster but it's your money so do what makes you happy.

    That engine looks pretty good for cylinder wear piston clearance. As long as you can't easily see the rings.

    @JackofWarr. 4 месяца назад +1

    Do it right bro. I would want reassurances in a full rebuild. Instead of hoping it lasts a long yime with yhe old part. Even if i had to wait a lil bit yo afford a full rebuild i would. Nothing like having a old truck that can go anywhere without worry. Id also like a full video series of the rebuild. Id highly enjoy it and give me more insight on rebuilding.

      No worries. At first I wasn't gonna do a full build series on it since I already done that on the 339. But I think it would be worth my time to show the build process again on something different.

  • @Shade_tree_garage01

    the way I see the whole Speedmaster debacle is this, What company hasn't stolen someone's design, IE modern head companies steal GM's Fast burn Chamber design due to its Superior design For burning efficiency and power, Summit racing itself sells unbranded "Stolen" designs in its Intakes, Carburetors, and Odds-and-ends, the difference in being caught is handing it to the WRONG Chinese manufacturer who accidentally casts/CNC's the name into the product, which is a stupid mistake.
    if Speedmaster should be discontinued from mass retail stores so should be House brand's, Summit Racing, Jegs, and Speedway, AMs racing and such...But this is my opinion on the matter and opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
    but minus all that the big block is going to be an awesome build, and as per usual amazing video chad! i hopfully will be able to make it to the Event either this year or next if you do it again.
