You’re very welcome Steve and glad you like the engine stand. Hopefully it makes working on those big SMX’s a little more enjoyable 👊🏻 Merry Christmas and thanks for the shout out! Thank you for all the content, tips and tricks you give all of us unfiltered which helps us all learn a little more than we knew before. Looking forward to making the SMX setup I have run with you big boys soon!

Kile, please be careful with those loose strings on your hoodie around belts. Accidents can happen so quick. Nobody wants to get hurt around doing what they love.

Steve, Watching the interaction between you and your son is worth a million bucks! The boy is really growing up in front of our eyes. Your family unit is the most important thing in life. Love your videos! Thank you!

Wish my father had been as cool as Steve is....

That's right Steve, TEACH him. Don't give him all the answers. Make him figure it out. Like I said before, you have to love working with your son. What a great combo. Got to keep the Morris name going Crap that's what i was going to get you this year. A engine stand. I could send you some hot muggy air from Louisianan So what have you thought about doing or making with the extra parts from the CNC mill? Rails and a ball screw.

I know why Dewey didn't like the dog box. He clearly prefers synchros!

Pretty strong endorsement for a crank trigger and coil near plug setup.

I bet that monster sounds good in person

Sean is the man! Wow that's a sweet gift even approved by Steve and Kyle Morris

Man has Kyle come a long way in a year. Keep up the great work.

Shawn,Sean your the man💪💪💪Very nice of you to get that stand for them. 😇😇🙏🏻

Kile, @ 5:13, the piece you are holding is the key. The machined place it fits into is the keyway.

Great update with interesting tech as well.Nice to see the great interaction you and Kyle have. Keep moving forward.

Way to go Sean ! I was just going to wish Steve and all at SME a merry and safe Christmas! You topped me!!

Best Tech and videos yet Thank you Steve and Kyle And Merry Christmas from the crazy old man in the Yucatan

It's really great seeing Kyle grow in confidence so much each time in front of the camera. Great video chaps. Hope to see you in Australia one day.

Great video guys glad you didn’t get sick after the show several people I know that went are sick since then thanks for sharing

Kyle, Congratulations on that monster engine tune. I was impressed with your call to change the ignition out. Yes that is a big cam and thanks for sharing some of the specs!!!

says: "No blanket, no bones, nothing to chew on." That is why I didn't go in there dad.

7:50 Classic dad stuff. He's got it Steve! My dad was exactly the same way and look how I turned out 😁

Tim Taylor would be proud sir!!!!

Right on Shawn/Sean...Merry Christmas

You have to be really proud Steve, Kyle is becoming quite the tech and looking way more relaxed on camera.

I love the puppy Q.C.. He's making sure everything is copacetic lol

Brought back memories of when my Dad was teaching me things A different industry but the same concept. Critical thinking with good results proves that you have a good understanding of the subject matter.

Steve and Kyle, y'all rock! Deweys doing Dewey, I see. Got to love that engine stand. Peace

Your work is always on point. Enjoyed more time with Kyle. So much like dad.

Kyle needs one of those in his Mustang. Help keep front end down. 😂. Merry Christmas all Steve & Co.

And there's "Dewey" look'n for something "CHEWY!" GIT ON IT BOY! THANK YOU, J

Awesome job Kyle!!!! You did awesome on that to figure that. And it make 200+ more HP!!!! 💪🥵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I really like how you buy the tool for the need and what’s it’s designed to do and not for the name and price. I’m the exact same way..I’m only going to use a tool maybe once or twice a month or even a year I have no problem buying a lot less expensive tool..but if it’s a everyday use tool I’ll spend the money on name brand

Years ago, I built an old Harley Shovelhead engine. Bored, decked, balanced, ported and installed a ported and polished CV carb. I was expecting around 100 HP. After fire up and break in, it felt stock! After a bunch of playing around with timing the cam and ignition, jetting and a few valve adjustments, I figured to dual plug the heads. It ran really good when it was running rich. Installed the dual plugs, and the matching ignition, DAMNED THING LEAPED TO LIFE! We fairly easily hit our 100HP goal. Sometimes all it takes is the right ignition to bring a build together. Old tech sometimes needs a little bit of help to bring it to life.

Your gonna love that saw when fabricating stuff! My dad had one we did everything from roll bar tubing to small pencil tubing to making bushings! Looks cumbersome but it's not its very versatile especially if you put wheels on it lol

Love how Steve makes Kyle think for himself instead of just giving him the answers. Also you might've lost (or not made) money on this dyno session, but you gained quite a bit of new knowledge in the meantime. Crazy to see the massive difference between the MSD box and the smartcoils. Great video guys.

Well done young Morris! You're a natural.

Great job Kyle, and as always you to Steve

Like the editing steve .esp in video reminders upcoming videos

Good job man, those numbers N/A blow my mind.

Steve, FWIW, Beta is one of the biggest pro tool manufactures in Europe and elsewhere in the world. They have a very rich motorsports heritage and have been in the tool business for decades. Quite a few F1 teams use their stuff and their yearly, beefy catalog is very drool-worthy. About 20 years ago I worked for a friend that tried to introduce Beta to the US market (we were based out of Denver) but the domestic brands were too entrenched and had too many mechanics in their debt to switch even through Beta was superior (IMHO).

Sorry Steve, I didn’t quite understand your explanation of the coil and taser. Could you please do live demonstration on Nate so we all get a better understanding of the differences?

Great job, Kyle!

Wow! What a gift, very kind

Nothing against a multi coil system but I believe something was wrong with the MSD box.

Nice ... new tool day is always a good day! You should hook up with Fireball Tool for one of his fab tables, he has got it sussed and some nice products. Also features in Aboms new workshop

I like when the caution screen comes up. I know its going to be good! Not that anything is bad.

It's great watching your son become a Bad Ass, from father to son.

Wow that is a big big difference.

Them Kelly Green 🟢 Spark Plug Holders, Are You Telling Everyone ND 🏈Go Irish? That was a good tune for pump gas, and a nice burn on the spark plug.

I have a question. This is a big NA engine, but in runs on 93 octane pump gas and has a 115 LSA camshaft, not usually known for making peak torque numbers. 1253 lb/ft divided by 843 CID is 1.486 lb/ft/CID. Is this not way beyond a suspiciously good result? I mean, "Some say" that that just the top 10% of engine builders manages 1.35 and only the top 1% achieves 1.40.

A 2" spacer under the throttle plates may slow the torque drop at RPM. Plenum (room to breath)

Odd... its like the msd box just lost its advance or something. Noise [like a lost filter capacitor]? What do they revert to on apparent trigger loss?

Nice Optimisation! Fall off curve gone.

Nice work Kyle

Interesting video on that engine keep living the dream ✨️

Hey Steve, Tim here, theres more there, the ignition is still ur achilles heal....but u got SIGNIFICANT power........i wish the torque curve was better tho....a nice flat one shows volumetric efficiency......when it dies down quickly, we still got an issue, fundamental NA........i know ur a boosted dude, a bit more attention, that 800, some odd cube monster, COULD muster a better torque curve......make it more usable, NOT just peak #.......just a thought

Cool video, quick question. What is the white light switch for??

The intake needs more volume the throttle plates are to close to the runners

Sometimes the engineer learns something new from time to time!

Hey SM team, don't be scared to post a full length, unedited video. Or at least a longer format one that shows even the preliminary pulls and tuning.

Love the videos keep up the good work!!

Thanks for another great video!

It's nice to have a power fall off a little so when you shift you're rocking the rpm over the peak...very nice! Shift that big motor about 6500 and it'll do great. And with over 5" stroke I don't think you'd want to rev any harder just for longevity reasons. That motor is going to turn the car anything but loose!

I wish I had a father like you, he is a lucky kid!

Pure real street racer. Buy that i mean Aussie street lol. That thing be a weapon at the lights ;)

Does adding the magnet to the cam pulley cause any imbalance issues?

Shop: Hey, we got 1200hp but we can add timing and get more unless thats enough. Customer: You actually called to see if I want more HP? Shop: Your right, stupid question, we will call you back.

Why do people keep calling KEYS, key ways. It's like calling a fence post a post hole. 😒

An easy 1200 hp @ 6500 with Conservative tune on 93….The beauty of a mountain motor!

KYLE, NICE BIG CUBE FORD CLEVELAND STYLE ENGINE YOU HAVE THERE.

Steve: “Kyle’s going to show you guys how to read a spark plug.” (next scene) Kyle: “yep spark plug looks good…” ✍🏼👂🏼👀

Got to be proud of that son 👏

Steve - take a look at a Fireball Vice... lol

Great content thanks for sharing

That 115 lobe separation must make great cylinder pressure. Low lift air.

Thanks for the video

That is one BIG motor, can't even imagine the piston size. 1200hp is alot on pump 93, at least the way I understand it.

Steve so you are telling us the smart coil are better then a msd box . You son did a great job with that. I looked to build a blower motor .

Hmmm, so one bank of that 843 inch monster is about as big as my 427 street motor.....whoa.....

What would twin turbos do for an engine that size? Huge HP?

Being in the UK I see quite a number of pkaces that sell Beta and I have used some of it. But I had two spanners fail, one combo, the ring literally snapped off. Never touched it again.

great video👍✌️

decades ago I got fed up with MSD ignition and my buddy that ran a Pro Mod convinced me to change my stuff to Mallory....I did and gained .05 and 3 MPH!

Good video Kile.

Awesome engine. I know it’s not designed for mileage, but driving it conservatively around town and on the freeway I wonder what kind of mileage it would get with an overdrive? 5-7 mpg?

from my limited knowledge the lift values will determine the RPM and the duration values determine where in the power band the car will make the most power.

That engine can probably run at 4500 rpm all day like in an offshore boat. I would love to see a couple of custom SM specials inside of a 40 something foot CAT truning 2000hp at 4500rpm for 3 hours. They could make an audio tape. I would just listen to it.

That stand is dope, but man too bad you didn't reconfigure the dyno to start the pull earlier with that big azz thing, it was dropping torque from the instant the pull started lol.... I wanna see if that thing made over 1k torque from the stab 😅

Carry on son, dad just learned something lol.

Kyle, as a thought, try thinking and speaking of your service purchasers as clients rather than customers. Everybody goes to 7-11 and "the biggest dang coffee shop franchise in the entire world" and gets ripped off- because they are customers, people who dropped by and whos pocket may not drive this way tomorrow. Now, down at Miss Salley's Breakfast Salon, you get service that know your name, is your coffee black or with cream; there you are a "client", someone they hope for a continuing business relation with. You seem to have the feel of it well in hand, I just thought it might give you a different insight. Btw, I learned that difference from a car dealer named Carl Sewell, a Cadillac peddler, one of the very best.

That’s a cool engine stand

17:10 Kyle that cam sounds like a baby cam.

I had similar cam in a 528 Ford

I'm guessing a bigger combustion area would require a taller lobe on a bigger cam at higher RPM's to allow for enough air intake to make any power???

So I remember learning about this in a book I read from the 50's on engine theory. If I remember right then jist of it was that the longer the stroke, the longer the piston dwell @tdc (the point where the piston actually stops to change direction) and this increases dwell is the reason the larger cubic inch engines perform like they have a smaller cam than what we are used to experiencing with a smaller stroked version of the same engine.. Please correct me if I'm wrong just felt like sharing.

How much cam do we need? 360°...... crank rotation.

my opinion is this unit was built to have a torque peak at an rpm closer to idle with a broad curve and lower peak hp. like a truck application. or jet boat etc...the curve on the screen was strong indicator but when kyle mentioned 115 degree lobe seperation angle it drove it home to me. Engine like a nascar application has a much lower numerical angle like 108 or lower. picture that air and fuel has mass, when its swirling suspended in the intake plenum, runner and port it has weight. and a lower angle aids proper cylinder filling at high rpm above 8k where a nascar engine operates, aiding cylinder filling. lobe seperation angle is a very little known aspect of cam design. but has as much to do with engine performance characteristics as lift or duration.

Steve Morris has a huge ci 844 and they say it's going to be a na engine. That 844 with 4 kits of nitrous would make that baby scream.

156 👍's up Steve Morris thank you for sharing 😊

Steve too bad they didn’t send you a free welding table!

Look at fireball tools for a Welding table!
