Nick and his brother Phil have built many race car engines over the years, and they are not all for the family's cars. This week, there is a 408 c.i. bracket racing engine on the dyno, and the results surprise even these seasoned racers. PLUS - The 600hp Charger heads home.
Honestly Nick, from a viewer from Germany - this channel is the real deal! No drama, logical approach to problemsolving in the subject of MoPar! I love it, thanks for the great videos and insights!
It never ceases to amaze me that Nick builds all of these high performance engines with lots of compression and big lumpy cams and how easily and quickly they start and how smooth they run.
The orange valve covers were replaced with Mopar black cast aluminum covers after testing with the repair at the intake manifold.
There’s Nick, getting the details straight. 👍
Right On Nick 😊🧰
Really like video what are you turning off and on the back of the engine , when doing Dyno test . Rudy from Pennsylvania
Is Mr. "Leadfoot"(red charger) considered job security/retirement plan? I'm really glad I don't have to try and fix his mishaps:) I think he is the type of guy that can destroy a bowling ball with his bare hands.
The red valve covers took away from the look of the engine. Good call Nick!
Man thats one beautiful red 68 Dodge Charger and it sounds bad too the bone.
I am a car guy and I love watching Nick’s Garage. I like the fact that there are cars featured from the three big brands. I especially like the dyno runs. As a french Canadian, I am very proud to see a Quebec citizen with Greek descendance such as Nick, be able to communicate with his clients in our 2 national languages as well as in Greek. In this time of building walls and hunting down “illegal” immigrants in the country south of our border ( not to mention racially motivated mass shootings), this makes me happy to live in a truly free country that is welcoming and embraces diversity. The Greeks, the Italians and a lot of other groups have helped build our nation to what it has become and I am truly thankful for it. God bless you all.
Not everyone south of 'your' border is pro-wall.and as for mass shootings..... just wait. You are not immune. Happens everywhere
big Hurtt Point taken. It’s interesting that you choose to warn me that mass shootings will eventually happen in my country rather than saying for example: “we are working towards change and educating our youth to be more tolerating and along with stricter gun laws we look towards a brighter future”. That being said, I apologize for my initial comment I will keep it all about cars from now on.
@@danielj3230 I think the majority here is becoming more tolerant , laws are about to become more strict, but it seems to be the ones who can't be reached. Hate to be negative but it's frustrating to fear for kids safety at school or the mall
big Hurtt I hear you friend, and I feel for you. As a parent myself, I can’t imagine having to fear for my children’s safety every time they go to school or to the mall. Let’s hope that the worst is behind us.
I'm a mopar die hard but it's hard to call that a race engine, its more of a hot rod engine. My old man's 422 (.060 over 340, 4" crank) made 560hp, 580tq... on pump gas. Keep up the good work, I was just expecting a more racy small block
The snort of that red 68 Charger is music to my ears! No wonder he likes to put the hammer down on 600 horses!
That red R/T car is just plain nasty! And it looks like it’s got the right driver and technician. Those old 440s are just mean! They were always hard to beat. And you pretty much had to have a built Pontiac to have a shot. It’s a beautiful thing when it all comes together and, they actually get driven instead of being hidden in a garage to rot. Respect!
I worked on a tugboat with a Greek fella, for about 20 years. Sam had a heart of Gold and it was an honor to be his friend.
You seem to have that same honorable sense of character and appreciation for hard work, with a penchant for perfection.
Thank you for sharing your experiences Nick. I’m 70 yrs old and have worked on cars my entire life, but there is plenty to learn from watching you go about putting out killer tune jobs on engines.
Nick, your channel keeps getting better and better. Salute to you and your amazing crew!
he is doing 6000 rpm finally hahahahaha
IN 1975 DROVE A 1968 CHARGER FROM DALLAS TO MICH STATE LINE IN 12 HOURS COULD SEE THE GAS GAUGE MOVING IN NORTH TEXAS GAS WAS 42 CENTS A GALLON THERE . A DRUNK DRIVER PULLED IN FRONT OF ME LATER THAT YEAR .THAT CAR HAD TO HAVE A 1/4 TANK OF GAS AT LEAST OR ALL THE GAS WOULD GO TO THE REAR OF THE TANK AND CUT POWER . THAT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE .
You learn real fast about doing those burnouts with the wheel turned on a straight line car. Very dangerous thing to do, no matter who you are. I like it none the less.
Towing a a heavy car with a heavy trailer with a light duty pick up truck is living on the edge , heck he even has a light duty hitch . Crazy customer. Love your channel awesome 😎
Hotter than in Athens Nicks Garage shenanigans Mopar superstar Gonna tune a race engine for his customers car Engines from Nick go hard and far Cool a Charger RT looking resplendent in the red a sight to see Nice a 360 Dodge dart stroker bored over fix a quick oil leak and push to find it's peak At Nick's it's new muscle every single week! From three to six thousand RPM for sound and power I'm giving it a 10/10 Ooh lovely a Nova SS clutch replaced time to road test for fixing cool cars Nick's Garage is the best!
Roberto. Hot in the Dyno room, and after that on vacation in Greece, Hot again. I love it.
@@nickpanaritis4122 Sure beats the cold for sure! Enjoy it you earned it Nick!
@@nickpanaritis4122 August. vacation time I. Greece. kalispera my friend
no need to repave the road outside the shop. the rubber from the tires keeps it nice and coated.
And sticky too 👍
100% the best of the best channels for all things mechanical and the search for horse power, and it has the bonus of being mopar bias!
Keep it up Nick and crew! All the best from Oz.
The 68 Charger wasn’t bought to get groceries or go to church , that’s why 600 hp , you don’t idle around. It was built to run hard .
600HP sounds nice in the bar, wondering how much is actually put down on the street.... maybe just over 500 on a good day. why not get a real dyno in stead of a engine dyno with nothing connected to it
Drive to church nice and quietly. After church drive like Hell !
I look forward to Monday morning because of your videos. I used to have a 1970 Plymouth GTX with a 440 and Dana 60. It will always hold a special place in my heart because that's the same year I was born. Thank you and your entire team for all that you do and the memories that come back to me. God Bless
We’re glad that you’re here, Carlton.
That guy with the 68 Charger needs his own RUclips channel!! Love that he DRIVES his beautiful car
My wife and I took me parents 68 Charger to our senior prom in 1969. It was silver with a black top and interior 383 auto.
nick when i worked on 360 mopar's the heads, porting & cam type were the key to power curve i wanted the last one i had was a old 1979 fifth ave a demo car given to my dad on retirement from being a police man, i did not mod much on it, a dodge charger i had a hopped up 360 3 weeks after it was sold it was totaled in a crash, i had bad feeling on building stuff! motors & other stuff! Gregg ps i was ill & building stuff made me feel better!
Sweet sounding 408 Nick and Phil!
On a hot day,pulling those kind of horse power numbers.
I am impressed with the torque #'s as well. For that is what gets you off the line!
Phil. We were working on max Torque, for acceleration
The thing I like the most about this channel, is it has a narrator
Chris. Yes, and he is great.
I feel your pain on the hidden fuel pump switch, Nick! Years ago I had just started working the counter at a 10bay full service tire shop. The owner had a low mileage '70 Cutlass convertible with a 455(may have been a 350, he had 4 Cutlasses), white paint, interior, and top that he kept at the shop. Every day we pulled it out in the morning and back in at night. My 3rd day there, I was closing the store alone and no one had told me about the hidden FP switch it had. I spent over 2hrs trying to start that car thinking at first I had flooded it, then checking spark, and finally realizing there was no fuel pressure while praying the owner didnt show up and see the new guy working under the hood of his baby that is still out in the parking lot well after close. I finally swallowed my pride, called my boss, got a big ear full of him laughing his head off as he told me where the hidden switch was. He got me good with that little prank. I returned the favor a few weeks later.
Mopar guys are unique! When you love them you drive them like you stole it!
Nick, if you read these, please note that I was not bashing you or your mechanical skills in any way. I do not know how equipped your facility is when I made a comment about seeing Petty Racing for an engine (the 6 pack engine video). I was referring to the Nascar engines because you said the guy has a lead foot. I know that you build quality stuff and would trust you for any engine build that I would need. I enjoy and have learned a whole lot on each of your videos. I wish that they were around back in the 60s and 70s when I was hot rodding around. Back then, there was nothing. Thank you Nick.
Thanks Craig. Your comments are appreciated and we are glad you are part of the channel.👍
Love the videos, I daily drive a 1973 Pontiac Catalina station wagon that had a 455 trans am big block but we sold the motor and put a 350 Chevy crate engine in with headers and glass paks. We actually dumped the pipes out the sides before the back tires and it has a sound like no other.
Bracket racers are usually the nicest most helpful people you’ll ever meet at a race track I love bracket racing
Listening to Mopars is therapy to me. That one was sweet.
Mopar or no Car! .... Thanks for sharing.
Or a Bowtie
Good morning, I look forward to Monday mornings to see what Nick will have in the garage. That 68 Charger is an absolute stunner. My mom's best friend Carol had a brand new one, dark green. I was always happy to get to ride in it with them.
Thanks for the memory, Linda. Carol sounds like a badass.
Man I just love the Nova,THAT'S my kind of car!!!!!!!! I had a 1970 that was a one owner back in about 1974/5 some where back in the day!!!!!!!!
Johnny H. This one is equipped with EFI.
That 408 Has to be one of the sweetest sounding engines
Thank you for keeping old school hot rodding alive Nick. I always enjoy your videos, especially in the dyno room.
Darin Winebrenner .... kind of like the operating room in a hospital 👍👍
As always such a grandmaster in mopar knowledge. You all are amazing. And the classic cars OMG to die for.
Ran similar numbers on the dyno to the 408 roller cam LA in my 68 Barracuda...mine did 491 hp @ 6000 and 519 lb/ft at 4300.
What a beautiful Charger! Definitely better looking than the new ones!👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
what a beauty...….sorry Nick, I meant the red charger not you.... and if I remember correctly when In Paros a few years back I said something like Ferte Mou ena bira (Mithos) parakalo…….And for you all it s one of the best beer in the world. Greetings Nick from a retired Montrealer living in Thailand
Cp. I am having a Mythos beer as I am replying with my comments in Greece. Yassou.
The icon of speed down thru the years Dodge Charger.....Priceless...Thank's yu'all..!
That Charger is SICK!!!
And I wish we knew the final numbers but I get it.
I hope to get 500 rwhp here in colorado out of my 318 in like 9 years.
Gotta save my pennies!
Enjoy your trip Nick!
Nick, here's a suggestion / request which occurred to me when you mentioned it was a hot and humid day in Montreal.... How the heat and humidity affect the dyno results, and how all the temperature and humidity parameters can be adjusted for in the computer program for the dyno results. I know that the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) says SAE horsepower must be corrected to 60-degres (F), altitude of -0- (sea level) and humidity corrected to -0- percent). I notice that you conform to SAE gross HP standards when you run the water pump with an electric motor, and so forth. So, most customers want the big number on the dyno, and that calls for SAE gross HP standards.
seems a little down on power for 408 . Mine made 521 with box stock vic jrs , comp 282 hr .Super vic intake.
Was thinking the same, pretty low for a 408ci "race" engine. The right cam, heads, intake combo with 12:1 should produce 600+
Monday fix is in That 360 your brother built was Awesome on the Dyno on first start just at idle the big exhaust tubes just bouncing around
If I could do my life over....I would be in that shop and know what Nick knows.....I love MOPAR.
try to run coolant lines from the back of the intake to the water pump ,it helps the back of the heads stay cooler .you need to put subframes on all of the cars you put engines into ,to prevent from twisting the bodies with all the power you make
Thank You Nick For sharing High Horsepower and my passion for fast cars Our my Fountain Of youth at 69 Years Young Joe
75 here
Nothing Like Starting Off My Monday Morning With a Horsepower Filled Episode Of Nicks Garage Thanks George Great Footage and Narration Excellent Job Nick ,Phil And Oliver On The Engine Build n Dyno Testing 😀👍🏼🧰🧰🧰👨🏼🔧👍🏼
Thank you, sir. Always a pleasure.
Chris. You are familiar with everyone. Nice.
I so loveeeeeeeeeeee NOVAS man!!! my friend happen to have 76 NOVA we used to wrench it to get it prepped for street legal here back in the netherlands 20yago.....mis thos day man...
That was fantastic! Nick, you run that Dyno like a concert pianist tickling the keys of a half million dollar Steinway And Sons 9 foot Grand. The music you make with those machines is Classic!
Thank you for the Monday Concert Maestro Nick! 🤓
The passion Nick has for his "work" is awe inspiring!👍👍
Another awesome watch this week with some awesome rides to view and certainly great to get back to the dyno once again aye! thanks Nick
It had been a while since we’d been in the dyno. Good to be back.
Sure was bro!
Nick I caught that timing light mistake at the beginning 3:42 in the dyno room and was so glad when you changed it. Then I thought about it and realized that Nick he's just testing us to see if we're paying attention. Good job Nick.
Class is in!!! Are you paying, ATTENTION!!! LOL
If the engine is putting more horsepower than cubic inch, that's good. Nick's 360 stroker is a monster
Michael Sanchez, Not really, production engines in the mid- fifties were producing one horsepower per cubic inch! An 408 inch race engine should be around 525- 550 h.p. with todays modern designed aftermarket performance parts. That engine is not an impressive build.
Okay, thanks Alexa...
damn, 1 1/2 hr late, already 3,096 views......1 of these days....98k + subscribers Nick....knocking on that 100,000....happy for you, great stuff....
This guy is a Genius!!! All that power out of that little motor🤘🏽
Monday morning and again another Nick's garage episode..............Love it
Mornin’ Johnny!
Johnny. It is afternoon here. Love it.
Digging all the rubber laid down outside the shop . 😀
The guy who owns the red 68 Charger really beats that beautiful car. Yeah I know it’s his car and he can do with what he wants but man, he’s brutal.
Danny. I said that when I finished testing his 600HP 440 on the Dyno. This is the one we had to weld the crack between the core plugs. 2 years ago. Like you said Danny, he drives his cars very brutal.
Love seeing someone having fun with the car. Sad to see a car like that in the right lane on the hiway getting past by 18-wheelers.
I know a guy like that he has a 383 Road Runner and he get's in it cold fires it up and don't let it get any heat in it just drives it hard as he can I keep telling him man it's ok sometimes but all the time the thing ain't going to last but he don't care he has a good job to pay for a rebuild or new block when he sends a rod though the side of it.
Nick Panaritis , yes I understand Nick. A 68, 69 or 70 Charger is my dream car, so I guess I hate seeing them beat so hard.
You must hate The Dukes of Hazzard.
Nice '68 Charger! Makes me wish mine was finished!
To Nick and your team , from Everett Washington USA , I look forward each week to see your show , your an inspiration to others who also share your humble passion for Big Block mopars!
I love that nova i had a 77 with a 460 cubic inch big block 45r
Awesome video! one day I’ll have myself an american car, beater or not, it Will be a dream come true.
Have fun in greece! Regards from the Netherlands!
MRTRiderNL Hope you do. I was lucky to grow up in the US 60's with all these cars being new, used, and plentiful. My buddies had Hemi Satelites, 427 Corvettes, and 440 Rt's. We have car shows often and here in Raleigh, there are many to attend.
Got to love it when Nick can coax big numbers out of a small engine.
Absolutely incredible numbers on a small block
Lovely to hear . Mopar , I grew up on them
360 , 340 . 318 ,s waste of time with Kean burn . Put adjustable malloy , no tapping 👌
On this video I am reading all the comments from Greece.
always working.......have a great time.....
Nick i hope your enjoying your self on vacation i was in Greece in 74 to 79 and it's just stunning beautiful and the women well we know Yazo
@@johnnyzonta5173 . Something different. They have Greek advertisements here on RUclips. COOL.
@@serget2168 . Yassou to you too Serge, from Greece
Get back to relaxing you workaholic! Wish I was there =)
I could use a Pro Tip. . . And this is right up Nick's Alley.

From one Mopar Man to Another, Im in Need some Help down here in Palatka, Florida. What do you think Nick?
Beautiful 68 Charger the red paint is stunning
Jeez that 68 charger is gorgeous
Man I would love to send Nick my Duster. Not only can he be trusted hands down but I'm sure he would be able to find my stinkin short in my wiring. Seems like a great guy. 👍👍
I appreciate this channel. I have a strong love for muscle cars. Nick really knows what he's doing. He's a legend in my book. Thanks Nick for all your hard work.
Can you do a video explaining how torque and horsepower correlate? I did some timing adjustments on my boat and what I learned from you got me 11 mph on 3 adjustments.. 72 mph 24 foot twin 5.7s. I cant believe after 5 years then watching you like magic... keep them coming. thx again!!!!
I would love to have seen a Victor Jr single plane or an old street Tunnel Ram on that engine. Would have been some interesting results.
I watch your videos and man i wish you coulda been my teacher !! Im just so impressed with the way you do things. I can tell you love this stuff and that makes a good teacher !! I wish i had the understanding like you do !! I know theres many people out there that is very good at motors and im sure several that can teach others well !! But alot cant get what they know across to others you can !! Thanks for the videos !!
Got to drive the cars otherwise no point in making them run just to sit on a trailer. A car is meant to be enjoyed, driven and yes even beat up a bit if it is a "muscle" car. Why I love this channel these cars look great but more importantly they are driven.
My new dream car! DAYUM I love that Charger!!!
I would be very interested to hear the noise outside from those exhausts of the Dyno room when an engine is being put through its paces .
TY Nick and everybody who helps with production and mechanics!
Hey Nick. It was nice to see how just small or minute changes made such a big difference on the dyno. Also i cant believe the owner of the nova didnt tell you where that cut-off switch was located. All you went through to fix it and you get the oh yeah i forgot to tell you where it was..
But as always it is an awesome experience watching your show. You have major network production value. So great job George! Really im surprised some big station like discovery channel hasnt stopped in to offer you guys a huge contract. You guys got it going on. Always fun here. Always fun. And i never want the episodes to stop. Ok i will stop!😁
600h.p. trailer, garage queen, Tom Nelson builds 2000 h.p. cars that are driven on the street.
my dad built a 408 stro
ker and he had to do the same thing. 2- 360 blocks and alot of money! i like old school real muscal! my 383 or 440!! old school!
A harebrained idea:
From MOPAR Maniac to another......take a 318, bore it out .030 and up the stroke to 4 inches. That will give it 390 cubes out of the seemingly indestructible 318 block. More than likely, you will need heads and intake from the 360 so that it will breathe better, not to mention a 650 to 750 cfm 4-bbl carb.
Let me know what you think about this wacky idea.
Enjoy the beach, Mr Nick.
I watch only 2 garage you tubers , you are one of them I really enjoy it and it is very informative . I love learning all the time . Thank yu Nick!
Wow...absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
That charger at the open sounded as good as it gets. Great cam also..
Fuel tech gots a new six pack throttle bodies and injection. Claim 600 hp: cool set up ; looks like the original carb setup all under air cleaner.
🤠❤️👍🏻
That 68 charger sounds sweet and looks awesome.
Love the throaty sound of your buddies engine on the Dyno.
You guys need a shirt or design where its just his left arm on the dyno throttle - pushing forward and then a catchy quote under it.. throw that on the back of a T with the nicks garage logo on the front.
Cool idea.
I lusted so much for that Charger! What a machine!
Love the Charger! Engine/paint....the whole works.....takes me back..... Great upload!
Only a few weeks until you hit 100K subscribers ........... Spotted my name at the end of the video.....My Chrysler 300K will soon be on the road with a new roller cam.......... Thanks Nick for the motivation!
For Sale - Dodge Ram - never abused or used to tow a trailer. LOL
Its not a chevy so your good
I KNOW WHAT I GOT, NO TYRE KICKERS, LOW BALLERS WILL BE SHOT.
For N/A and 6 grand that's not bad. I never dyno'ed my 360 except with computer programs. They told a very similar story from a 360 similarly equipped except it is wound a little tighter. I was a Ford or nothing guy until I did my Duster. I have bought Fords over Dodge new, but I haven't done a Ford hotrod since the Duster. I just keep redoing the Duster. It's down for it's 4th over all and 2nd road race resurrection. Dropping the compression going back to pump gas and will start with 300,000 estimated on the clock.
whats some specs and times on that slant 6
Just watched your 351 Cleveland video WOW! Looked up old school in the Dictionary there was a picture of NICK !
My grandfather dad and I are currently working on our 1970 power wagon project and I will be more than willing to share my grandfathers brilliant masterpiece with you all at nicks garage.
Sounds like a great project.
That Charger sounds fantastic.
Definitely. A real beast.
I love Nick's channel, but on this particular build, I don't understand why you would build a 12.8 to one compression engine, and use a dual plane airgap intake manifold, not to mention the high duration cam shaft.
By far my favourite MOPAR! What a beautiful car. Nice new editing technique and another great episode. Cars and coffee in the morning!
Thanks. Enjoy your coffee, Bruno.
Pretty good numbers for barely touching 6K in the early testing.
