  • In this, episode 52, DV explains how , with just some simple moves during a rebuild, it is possible to get over 60 HP & 60 lbs-ft more with as little as about $90 over what you would have otherwise spent on a basic rebuild. All these moves are at novice level and will not be much of a challenge even for a first time rebuilder. Just to be sure here what the target build is it can be said to be totally street drivable with torque right of idle. Please note:- these are far from the 'same old mods' usually talked about. Most pro's won't even know these moves.

    I used your guidance on porting a factory GM Quadrajet intake for my old second gen Camaro with a 400 SBC. It ended up making noticeably more low end torque than the ZZ4 intake I was currently using, and to top it all off it knocked 2 tenths off of my quarter mile E.T.!!

      A q jet is the worst carb as it dumps raw fuel into the 2ndarys. It will not make good power as the fuel isn't atomized. It does not go through a venturi. Bloodviking

    Dear Mr Vizard, I am a fan of your work and have been since I started to read you articles in motoring magazines from the 70s when I was a spotty faced kid. I bought a mini in the 70s and a book came with it, written by you, all about improving the gas flow on the BMC A series engine, it had a red cover if I remember correctly. I loved that book and would sit up in bed reading it for hours. I was determined that when I was older and had a bit of money that I would use that book to pep up my own cars. Well 5 houses later the book has gone and I`m still left dreaming about cylinder head and valve work. I`m so glad that you are still using your knowledge and skill on engines and I`m glad that in came across your vid by pure chance. Keep on trucking Mr Vizard, a link to my misspent youth. Kindest regards, Paul Blackmore from Liverpool.

    Thanks D.V. I have put together countless #s of cylinder heads! I always used a good grease, basically the same way as you did on everything, valves & guides, retainers, shims springs ect! I probably read it in one of your books when I was a teenager! When other engine builders around our area were having problems with guides sticking & or galling issues, we were not! We even had a super stock racer come in to watch how I put heads together! [believe that?] Because he always had his guides fairly loose, because of the crazy high RPM he ran! [he normally used a light motor oil on the valve] But he even stuck them a time or two! All the things you listed, are commonsense engine building practices! Except, not too many have that anymore! You don't need to be told, but the cams with the L/C, [higher numerically number] beause people always seem to get this wrong! Have very rarely ever been faster on the track! We went through all that B.S. with nitrous engines back in the 90s, originally! They were always the quickest down the track, with the lower # L/CA! We tried 4 different cams, in the same engine, & with all different adjustments, to the camshaft & valve adjustment, that they said would be defiantly faster! But they were not! Same engine, same driver, same N2O kits, same track at the best weather time of year! Normally making 3 or 4 passes, for a average, on the different cams & the different cam timing adjustments! The one thing we found out for sure, was the camshaft companies, knew how to sell you camshafts! After all that testing, fuel, time, wear & tear, ect! We only made camshaft changes, after doing lash loops & cam timing adjustments, on the dyno, where the engine was asking for something different! Not the camshaft companies telling us what our engine needed! Thank you again D.V.

      Its funny ive pulled apart alot of small blocks and a few were race motors too and i have never seen a pulled stud, i have pulled studs with a 5 lb slide hammer and it was a lot of work , factory studs are not pressed in they are cast in , ive never thought screw in studs were necessary when spring pressures are within 50 lbs of stock.
      I wonder if studs backing out is more a cam side phenomena as opposed to valve spring side ?

      @@luckyPiston I’m not sure. I think it’s just a heat cycle thing possibly. The easiest way I’ve seen to pull them is with a little heat and and a tool that utilizes the nut that goes on the stud. You tighten the nut and the stud pulls right out. The last one I saw fail in person was on a freshly rebuilt sbc. Completely stock throttle body engine in a early to mid 90’s pickup. Ran fine on initial startup and developed a miss about the time it got up to operating temp. Pulled the drivers side valve cover and the stud was ready to fall out.

    There is another way to check those valves and seats. Blue the valve like in the video, using a wooden hammer handle on the head of the valve to hit it down into the valve seat. Do not twist the valve at all. Remove the valve, check the seat on valve and head. Wipe the valve clean or Brakleen it clean, then repeat the exercise to bring the blue on the valve seat back onto the clean valve. Will show instantly if the seat is out of round or has any low spots. Was taught to do it this way 45plus years ago and it has never failed me ever.

    I built a 186 headed flatop pistoned 350 back in the mid eighties. My stepdad was a pretty good engine builder and showed me how to do some porting and did a 3 angle grind on the them. He also picked out a camshaft with a tight lobe center which was unique for the time. If I remember correctly it was 230/236 @ .050 .480 lift with 108 lc. I think the valve springs were TRW LT1 replacement and I bought a set of PAW long slot rockers. I used a 305 crankshaft and lightened the factory forged 350 pistons to match the weight of 305 pistons. TRW rod bolts handled 7,500 pulls with no problem. I ran a great set of Hooker Super Comp headers 1 3/4 with 3" collectors. It ran really well and surprised a lot of people. I ran ot in a 1967 Camaro on a diet that weighed 2950 with me in it.

      Not many people have a lathe to machine the outer ring totally round. Besides, by the time you do that it will now be a light weight dampener. The reason he said to use that one is because it was a larger diameter and it is heavier. Also the newest factory sbc 400 dampener is from 1976 that more than likely the rubber ring would be dry rotted.
      A late 1986 to 1995 sbc 350 truck dampener is the larger heavier design and it is already internal balanced and will more than likely have a few more years of service left in it being over 20 years younger.(a Vortec dampener is the larger size but the bottom pulley would need to be spaced out the thickness of the reluctor wheel I think it might be called that is on the crank behind the timing chain cover or source that wheel and install that under the cover so the pulleys line up?)
      And I did hear what he said but what he said wasn't right for 2022, maybe 20 years ago would be more doable but not now. The sbc 400 dampener would have to be sent out to have machined for $100 an hour plus or minus which would take around an hour and a half and then around another $300 to have it rebuilt! You can still get one of the ones mentioned above for about $20 at a junkyard. I know which one I would choose, what about you?

    David, I have to thank you for your work. It's absolutely incredible knowledge. There's no one I've learned more from. Gale Banks is second behind you. Lots of math on duration, moving torque peak, etc. The one thing I'm going to share with you that blew my mind is on exceeding peak flow lift because it's a factor of time. If you only lift to peak flow, ie 0.600" , then peak flow is achieved for a fraction of a second. If flow goes flat at .600 and you go to 0.700" it creates a square wave flow over time vs a sinusoidal curve with a flow peak. Exceeding peak flow lift leaves a peak flow flat top resulting in greater area under the curve with the same centerline and duration. Square wave lift flow patterns.

      Yes...for a point of view of power. But speaking of street engine or "all around" one there is also valve acceleration (cam lobe surface loads), valve side loads and valve spring durability. Power and durability (high mileage) are always in some kind of balance...which you have to decide when building engine.

    Exhaust lobe centerline 113*
    Add together ÷ 2
    118+113 = 231 ÷ 2 = 115.5 Lobe separation angle.... Ground into cam
    Intake lobe centerline 118* is the installed centerline as per the timing gears.

    Another great video to put to practical use, #DavidVizardPerformance! I can combine this with some earlier porting videos to put some #416 heads on the stock 400sbc in my truck. Bump in compression, and budget as I have the heads already, and it should be a good driver style truck!

    I had really good luck with a rebuilt 406 SBC Shortblock (stock replacement 12.43 cc dish) with #441 (Number inline with runner variation) wiith minor bowl, throat and short turn work, Custom Cam that later became the CC CS 270AH-8 0.313/0.307 (0.501/0.491 w/ 1.6 stamped rockers) 270/280 224/230 108 installed on 105. With a stock '69 QJ Med Rise Intake and 1.625" Headers, it pushed a 4400 lb truck with 3.31, 26" tires and stock converter deep in the 8's / 13's and 7's / 12's on the bottle. The 307 Turbo-Fire Decal on the air cleaner lid was the finishing touch. Getting a heavy street vehicle to run with a stock converter is all about power under the curve not big peak numbers.

    When I went from a performer rpm to a performer rpm air gap on a AMC 360, I had to go to annular booster. I couldn’t get my straight leg 600 to work or my down leg VS 750 to work either. They had big flat spots between the transfer slot and main jets. They had both worked perfectly on the heated performer rpm.
    The annular 600 summit racing carb fixed my problem. Your buddy Andy from Unity Motorsport pointed this out on one of his videos. I then went and re read your how to tune holleys book and found it all the info in there.

      Interesting, Anulars fog a little better so it would be safe to say the air gap intakes are more demanding of a finer mix ?
      So i have a Vortec 383 with a Edelbrock performer (w/no heat crossover) and when i went from a holley 650 spread bore to the Slayer VS 750 the motor fell flat on its face, it idled just sweet and when you blipped the throttle it was instant revs but as soon as i tried to drive it wouldn't turn past 2k rpm, tried jetting it up but that just wrecked that sweet idle and didn't make it any more driveable , ended up puttin on a Holley 3310 but it didn't run quite as nice as that old spread bore

      @@luckyPiston . So the way I understand it is the colder the intake, the smaller the droplet size you will need, to stop it condensing on the intake walls and be a good droplet size by the time it gets from the carb to the combustion chamber.

    With deep regards to your loss(es) those are a tough, tough, thing. I was able to find a current LS based 108 LSA versus all comers t was from Richard Holdener and yet it showed 108 LSA visibly ahead of everyone else by a significant amount. My hat is off to you.

      Yes. Holdener did an lsa test, same cam specs only lsa changes on a 500hp engine. 120, 112 and 108. The 112 lsa made 35 more ft lb to 5500 and matched the 120 after. The 108 made 14 more ftlb to 5500 than the 112 matched the curve until the last 500 rpm where it made 7hp more.

    Glyptal is an excellent paint to use on engine internal casting surfaces. The surface must be free of oil and water and thoroughly washed. You want no residue from a caustic bath left on the casting to be painted or it will affect adhesion.. Glyptal can be sprayed if thinned with Xylol or Xylene. It is commercially available at home centers and hardware stores. The surface should be wiped off with Acetone prior to painting so all moisture is removed. I called Glyptal for this information. Cleaned properly, adhesion will not be a problem. G.E. (General Electrid founded by Thomas Edison) patented Glyptal back in 1914 and it was developed into a paint in the 1930's. Since then, the company was spun off by G.E. sometime in the 80"s.

    We've had irrefutably good luck with Isky cams as well.
    Their 'mega' flat tappets seem to follow your thoughts of a narrower lsa single pattern cam. Specifically the 270, I have experience with in two separate sbc's, and it's a positive one. They seem to run very well in the mid range with the stock cylinder heads.

    Hi Mr. Vizard, you and Cattledog have inspired me to do a 383 build to see if I could do as good of a job. I am using a '79 sbc 350 off my z28. using 13004000 rotating assembly with a SK12-246-3 comp cams. Now I know it is not an 107-108 LSA but it is a 110. I know you poo poo on this but considering cost time and effect I thought it would be the closest match for what I have on hand already without getting special grinds. Hopefully you can watch what I am doing and possibly give me a few pointers oh yes 180 cc flotek heads I am running thus the cam selected.

    Why I don't like flat tappet cams
    We like roller cams vs flat tappets because they don't need break in and it frees up frictional drag giving more hp over a flat tappet and we can use a better valve spring.

    Awesome video David ! Thank you.. here's a question.. what is the criteria on power brake (vacuum) ? how does LSA effect vacuum at idle ?
    Also, on the use of your COMP height mic, the retainer is down in the step, you have to subtract the measurement of how deep the step is. It's made to measure on the outer diameter of the mic. hope that helps

Is this a problem or does the 107 and 108 degrees mostly apply to intakes? When I told the cam company what I was doing, "hulling a large truck camper" this is what they suggested. Lift is 506/519 and Advertised duration is 264/268. Thanks again for your time.
