Thanks a bunch for sharing. Mark at vortec pro I think gets arounnd 650+ with the 781 's on a 496 with a 238 isky roller. But i think he spends a fair amount of time on the heads. Might give Nick at clay smith cams a call. They have really fast service and their cams for the same duration are well over 600 lift. We have had great success with their products. And your talking to the guy on the phone , who is most likely gunna grind your cam..Have a great day!
Marks a master with #781 cylinder heads I own a set,, He did for me,, He's just on a different level, I Believe his #781 heads are worth 35 horsepower. Better than anything I've ever did,
Great video! I put a set of Enforcers on my new 489, but haven’t run it yet. I haven’t seen to many videos featuring the Enforcers, so thanks for sharing dyno numbers !
I love watching your comparisons. I wasn't aware there was enough material to go .100 overbore on a stock block but I'm not as familiar with big blocks. How much meat is left in the cylinder walls?
Everyone talks crap about the AFR enforcer line but it gets it done every time.

Question, you ever run beehive springs on a hydraulic roller cam on a BBC aluminum head? If so what part number and any advantages? Thank you sir great videos
I use the 911- 16 valve springs on the very small hydraulic rollers I run the 929 - 16 on medium sized rollers and the 933 - 16 on the bigger hydraulic rollers
Hey Nick, love the channel! I found Mark's channel Vortec Pro a couple of years ago and it seems he came out with alot of videos then there was a break then he came back with 2 videos then nothing else? I binge watched all his stuff, i really liked how he explained and talked you through the thought process and how the prepare an iron headed stock crank, rod combo, i hope ge comes back with more videos. Anyway, your content is really resonates with me and is really insightful. I do have a question/suggestion for a future build, i live in central Indiana and E-85 is everywhere around me and you stated you are also a Midwestern so how about a high compression build similar to what you do but with at least 12:1 compression or more. I also really liked the poor man's 396 stroker, more of those please. Anyway just wanted to take a moment and let you know what your doing is very much appreciated.
I appreciate you watching ,I appreciate your input,, I've got that request several times about doing a high compression E85 street strip motor I'm gonna get on that. I got plans to do a 496ci 12.3 to 1. e85 motor , It probably be a couple months but I will get that video out, With dyno testing
I realized my mistake, my bad. I was talking to my friend Tony about your channel and I guess I had his name in my head🙄, that future build sounds great. I'm definitely looking forward to your channel growing.
Have you ever heard of Skip White Performance, they are out of Kingsport Tennessee. They sell parts and do machine work and they have what they call Bravo 335 aluminum BBC heads sold in pairs bare or complete and they seem like the best I've seen for the money, again not seeing them up close, who k ows, but they are selling them bare in pairs for $829 and complete depending on a hydraulic roller or solid package for around $1350, anyway it'd be great to see someone like Eric W. to give them a review.
Nice 👍 I'm possibly doing a test soon. 781 fully ported By FORCFED me . Bigger valves . My question to you is " you think a 548 BBC with Diamond 33 cc dome pistons and.780 lift solid roller cam will clear the chamber and take lift ? I'm trying to see what I'll run in my StreetMod 28 Small Tire radials weight 2280 Chevy II SS Nova. Ran 5.5 in the 1/8 mile with 990 heads fully ported. Tiny smaller cam and around same dome .might try to get a tunnel ram for 781s with single Dominator ultra XP Carb.... Thank you sir Merry Christmas
Nice. Those 781s with more work would have matched the AFRs, but you can say the same if the enforcers . That cam is tiny for a bbc though. Nice video, great info.
I see you ask what my thoughts was on close chamber heads , They work just fine. If you put bigger valves in them , you need to have the machine shop d shroud them just a little bit on the intake side,, If you leave stock size valves in them , they work just fine the way they are
Have you done a compression test on any of your 496 engines just curious how much pressure they make ? I’ll be checking my 505 that was run in a boat with Promaxx 319’s thanks I’m subscribed 😎🇺🇸
Great information. I would like to see the total timing that each cylinder head wanted and if you could also share the engine vacuum at idle, maybe in the description, this would be very helpful for those of us planning on building a similar combination. cheers
I should have mentioned the timing,, I'm not playing with the timing on these combinations. For optimal horsepower, we just set it at 38° on every single big block. Because that's what all the Medium compression hydraulic roller, big blocks want give or take a degree.
You know, I think most BBC oval port heads that are well prepared are good for 575-600 hp with a moderately sized hydraulic roller cam. Just never seen any of them do badly. Nice comparison.
You know, that would be a very cool test stock. Other than a basic valve job see what they would make on a strong motor,maybe 468ci?@Anarchy-Is-Liberty
@@dzperformance7360 how about trying a set of #820's or #292's? I think people are sleeping on those numbers. Their combustion chamber looks very promising for unshrouding the valve.
Thanks for the compliment thank you so much for watching,, The only reason i'm using solid rollers in this test is just because it's what i've got on the shelf and it's easy,, For street strip use, I would always go hydraulic roller. A good name brand like Howard's. But I would never recommend flat tappet. They're a disaster,, The metal that use on those cams. Now you are guaranteed to have a flat cam very quickly,
Wow those 781’s were impressive! Great vid, I’ll say it one last time, your gonna shit egg rolls if you ever get to dyno another build like that one with smaller tube headers!
What's the most compression you have run on 93 octane pump gas??? 11.5.1?? Thanks BBC aluminum heads also your recommendation max compression 93 octane tuned right?
It really depends on how big a cam. How much cam duration and overlap you've got,, Iron heads=9.8 to 10.8 to1 depending on cam. Aluminum 10. to 11.5 to 1 depending on cam ? Those are the maximums in my experience,, Little cam you gotta stay towards the bottom, medium to large. You can go towards the top.
WHAT IS YOUR GAME ? .DO YOU DO THIS MOSTLY FOR FUN?, OR ARE YOU SAVING THE HOARD FOR BETTER TIMES BECAUSE THINGS ARE STARTING TO GET HARDER TO FIND AT REASONABLE PRICES. JUST CURIOUS. ANYWy good info as always. Have you ever thought of doing a 525 ??
My day job, I own a construction company,, But I have assembled motors for myself. Friends and family for over 30 years. Yes, it's mostly for fun, but I'm designing my own line of camshafs and carburetor spacers. Thanks for asking!!! Thanks for watching !!
yes , I have built those, That's too long of a stroke for a short deck. It creates too much windage. I've never produced any serious horsepower with those but they do make stupid great Torque,
Very nice, wonder how much you could lower the duration on that combo using the 781 at 119cc without giving up too much power and improve low speed drivability for a 4-speed street car. Thanks, and Keep Rolling........
I was reluctant to show this combination. It's not that great if the cam had a little more Lift a little less duration on the intake and more on the exhaust. It would have made more power and been evan more drivable,
@@dzperformance7360 thanks, I have a 454 with a pair of 781 heads and it seems better money to have 781 ported and valved rather than spend the money for aluminum heads. weight is not a disadvantage and staying 454-496 cid shouldn't need more head cfm for engine rpm to get the job done. need to ask locally, someone will know how or who.
