Good job

**Ron 586** · 01-21-2007, 01:25 PM

Congrats on the new look and power in your burb. Sorry you had to go through all the blowup on the way. Love the garage crew.

stevess11 · 01-21-2007, 06:16 PM

Nice job on the new motor.

va_tlc · 01-21-2007, 07:26 PM

now thats a motor rite there. one would never think pullin up to a stop lite jus what youll be packin under that hood. very clean job congrats.

Frizzle Fry · 01-21-2007, 11:47 PM

Thanks everyone. I got on it a bit this weekend and all I can say is

As for the 61, it's tied up till April... (don't ask)

But it WILL be completed! So, I think the Burb may just have to become a Tahoe in the mean time...

68GMC454 · 01-21-2007, 11:59 PM

looks like a great crew you got..one day you will be able to sit back and drink a pepsi,,while your kids do all the work..sounds like a great engine...

stllookn · 01-22-2007, 12:27 AM

Awesome!!!! You do nice work. Bring that thing up to the Corvette and High Performance Swap Meet in Feb!

Brad · 01-22-2007, 12:38 AM

Hey Mike, wanna race?

I don't!

Rick Mills · 01-23-2007, 06:57 AM

WOW! That makes me want to get my truck finished.
Looks like its a great ride.
Good crew in the background too. The smile on their faces tell it all.

mnunn454 · 01-23-2007, 10:19 PM

Very nice build thread. Thanks for the pics.

Love the 3 mechanics-in-the-making training program. Can tell they're a handfull, but having a blast.

Just did virtually the same thing to my C-10. Pulled a tired 66 396 and replaced it with a 454.

.100" overbore on a 454 seems like a lot to me. Is that safe? What was the cylinder wall thickness after the overbore?

Noticed one thing though that you may want to think about. They'll be fine for a while but 476 Cubes pushing through those necked down primary tubes on your headers is a definite choke point unless it's a very low RPM motor with peanut port heads. I'd bet you'll pick up quite a bit of HP by going with larger headers.

Food for thought.

*Billla* · 01-24-2007, 02:02 AM

Man, what an AWESOME thread! Cool, if sad, broken parts pictures, great build, great to see the kids out with the truck and one swee engine.

You ge rep points from me, dude

Frizzle Fry · 01-24-2007, 07:23 PM

Thanks guys! I'm pretty darn happy with it! Scheduled to have it tuned by a shop with the proper instruments/experience today.

I love six bangers too Brad. With all those goodies and a 5-speed I bet yours runs sweet.

mnunn: You can take a 454 over by up to 125 if the initial wall thickness allows. Here's a quote from a superchevy article:

"Another notable find the first year was a 454 big-block Chevy block that had cylinder walls over about 400-thousandths thick. This made a perfect candidate for a .125-overbore using KB hypereutectic pistons and boosting inches to 482."

I do agree about the headers though. They are cheap no-name full length headers that will be replaced by 3/4 lengthers when I go to the magnaflow system.

Thanks all for the comments and advice

mikeoj · 06-01-2007, 09:49 PM

Frizzle Fry,How do you like the VooDoo cam.Which one did you use?(your link above just took me to the summit site,but nowhere specific).Also ,stock converter?Thanks,Mike

I love it. Great power and street drivability. I do run a stock converter. I'll upgrade when I go to an OD tranny

[QUOTE=Frizzle Fry;1995184]I removed the wire guide on the firewall and re-routed the wires to clean things up. I also took this oppertunity to finally run the proper 12 AWG wire to the HEI.[QUOTE]

what if you don't run this wire? What are the draw backs? What is AWG?

Thanks

Sweet. Looks like a nice clean job. Wish mine was that nice. Talk to me about the small block mounts. I am putting a 396 into my 67 4X4. The mounts on my 327 have a single stud that mounts to the crossmember, not clamshell type, will they work w/ the 396? Also what clearence issues is any did you have. Thanks

American Wire Gauge I ran without it for a while (with stock wire), but the HEI draws more current and should have a bigger wire accordingly. The drawbacks are that you can burn up the stock wire and/or the coil with undergauged wire.

No clearance issues. I suppose you could have exhaust fitment issues if you went from normal BBC mounts to this set-up. I didn't because I re-did the exhaust when I put this motor in.
