Blowing Up Your Custom DZ 302 Engine! Creating Custom Piston Domes the Wrong Way! Don't Be Like Me!

I put the cart before the horse and intentionally unbalance my engine while creating custom piston domes for the EZ 302 Chevrolet Project Engine! Now it could Blow Up, I lose My Shop, House, anything of value.... It's a snowball of a S#!t Show where (You) the viewer know how to do it cheaper, easier, and better and I'm crap... Just like every other automotive show on RUclips!

Always good to see you. Ty for the content. Hoping all is well.

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

I appreciate you watching! Things are going well!

[@DanEBoyd]

Can't wait to see that baby run and do some pulls!!!

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

Me neither! Should sound good and be really snappy!

[@Dr.Frankenstein65]

Cut , rinse , repeat ! 👍
Can't wait to see the Dyno

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

It should be much more solid than most think it’s capable.

[@lautburns4829]

Damn good explanation, Dallas. Good vibes coming your way.👍

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

I’m needing those good vibes!

[@autonomous_collective]

👍🏁EZ302 have a dyno date yet?

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

It’s going on the start stand within a few days. Then once I have it running correctly, I’ll book the dyno.

[@2HacksGarage]

Good video Dallas. Not its going me thinking on my builds

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

Thanks Jeff!

[@Nova-1977]

Notch the pistons let it fly at least .060 clearance in that spot to allow for piston rock .

[@brracing7861]

I think thst Vortech square bump is for aiming Direct Wet Fuel Flow Dallas. You somewhat did the Fire Slot Chevy domed Old TRW pistons modifications.

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

Thanks for watching B&R! I think you are right, it’s something to do with promoting swirl or mixing. I just got lucky on the mod.

[@stevetaylor9265]

Now I need to find me a 1978-1980 Montecarlo.

[@jesseduke694]

Cool build! Careful with them clearances! I'm sure you have dun your homework & know what you need. But im interested in seeing how it runs!

[@Darren-r9b]

Lol! I happen to have a dz302 mid rise intake! Lol! Im planning on using it on my 307 4k redline beast!!

[@xozindustries7451]

Did you take into account the piston rocking in the bore?

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

Yes

[@stevenbelue5496]

Did you measure the stroke and verify it was 3.???"(was it 3.100"?) and not 3.000"?

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

I verified the stroke is 3.00” making this engine a total of 310 cubes since it’s .060 over.

[@nicolasdeleon2819]

I think people were confusing the L99 stroke with the oddball 262 SBC, 3.100 in stroke.

[@scottosborne8735]

It will be fine.

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

You are right, I know it will but the rest of the world that watches RUclips seems to disagree with everything I do, so I preemptively threw the reverse psychology out there! LOL!

[@scottosborne8735]

@@mr.roddersneighborhood2740 Did you use the 3.1" stroke? What length rods?

[@deanstevenson6527]

8:33 SVO A3 style flame trench!

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

Trench warfare!

[@HSTvids357]

Weight reduction makes everything faster anyway. It's gonna run good!

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

There’s nothing lighter than a hole!

[@HSTvids357]

😂

[@deanstevenson6527]

My 0.5th. 🥝✔️

[@lautburns4829]

As always. 😂👍

[@tomworthington9547]

You didn't even consider indexing the plugs?

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

That was something considered, but I do not believe it’s needed. As the plugs will fit in there just fine.

[@jamessharp9790]

Cut and try , it’s going to take work and time.
