Update. Still spins tires bad with the Hoosiers. Have added Caltracs and a taller gear ratio. Will see how it goes.

I was impressed with the Hoosier DR2 Drag radials after trying a couple others. They hooked the best for me in a 2900lb car. I'm sure your running a little more hp than my stroker put out though.

@port nut Engine is in a 67 Camaro. 4 speed car with 3.73 gears.

Best bang-for-the-buck 406 small block. I had a 64 Nova station wagon with a mild 406 with 373 gears, 3100 car for 21 yrs. I now have a ZR1 which I enjoy, but I think the Nova was more fun,stealthy sleeper!

@@bbtruckin3112 i agree

@@bbtruckin3112 yes!!! I had a stock 1975 400 in a 1970 Impala Custom Coupe and I loved that power! I can only imagine the feeling of this worked 400!🤜🏿🤛🏿

Agreed beast of a engine

What kind of transmission are you running

@@mrmurdock2u247 th350 with a gear vendor unit.

Right you are. Its not that "compression ratio" is a bad communication. We all picture the same thing on hearing it: bdc vs tdc volume. But... compression implies work, and since there's an open system until some degrees past bdc and the piston is up the bore, I sometimes wish we all just said "volume ratio", but... not happening any time soon. Meantime, the number really just tells us roughly how early or late intake closure is - IF the builder was mindful of dcr limits.

I know your post is 2+ years old, but it caught my attention when I stumbled across this video today, and I will say you are 100% correct! I actually ran the dynamic compression numbers based on the information they gave in the video and used the Wallace calculators and averaged the d/c for advertised and @.050 and came up with 171.40 psi of cylinder compression. The 93 octane should be able to support that just fine. Well thought out combination- I can definitely see why this engine made the kind of torque and horsepower that it did. I’m currently building something similar and these are the kind of numbers that I hope to make with my 400 sbc.

It was purpose designed for torque & responsiveness for the street. I think Karl nailed it.

@@wreckanchor Agreed 👍🏻

I have a 406 with a pro-flo 4. The engine is not installed in car yet (sitting on engine stand) but has been on the dyno. 501.1hp @ 5600 and 517 hp @ 4500. I think there is more there. My engine has a slightly smaller cam and running 1.5 rockers vs 1.6 like in this build. Same AFR heads. Full forged assembly. My compression is 10.7 We didn't play around with it a lot so I think it needs a little more tuning. Going to use the chassis dyno once I get it installed. The engine builder said it was a breeze to set up. He normally uses Holley FI but liked the Edelbrock ease of insulation. 406 torque curve is flat and pretty. The cam idles nice. Should be a great engine for my '89 IROC.

My old man used to build 421 back in early 90s for late model dirt cars made over 700hp would rev to 9k

I got a video of motor running on my page

They are the best dual plane I think. Especialy when you use a 1 inch spacer with them and a bigger carb than you think you need. lol

@@wreckanchor You'll have to feather foot your Camaro now with this low end torque.

@@EllweinEngines I know. I am wondering if the tires will hold it. Should have the car back in a week will let you know how it runs.

What's the part number on the intake? I'm in the process of a similar build of a 406 but was thinking of a Victor Jr.Dont know if I should go a duel plane or open plane..Can't believe the HP your sbc produces..Great combination guys!!

Hey Sean it's John from tiktok and people think sbc are a thing of the past because they don't have any fucking clue what they're talking about lol I'll take my sbc over a LS any day

@@jonathanlawson4667 hell yeah. I want to build me a 18° headed big cube sbc someday.

Sounds like a sweet build.

@chriswells1440 still building it. In ptimer finally

Back in the day I cured traction issues on my similarly powered 67 Camaro by putting a set of 275/60/15 drag radials on stock 15x7 rally wheels, bolt in sub frame connectors and South Side Machine lift bars. A pair of Calvert/ Lakewood 90/10 front drag shocks would also help.

Yep. lol bad ass little intake.

That big damper was expensive. lol

And a single plane.

Already had a 406 with 220 afr's. This engine was built specifically for torque and street responsivness.

I will love for more information on this motor

Or can u send me your email for more details

My engine is similar but with Edelbrock pro-flo 4 and I'm at 443TQ at 2500. I peak at 517 at 4500 and end at 442 at 5800. Its a nice flat load of torque. Torque all the time. LOL. I did hit 501hp at 5600.

Forged Calies crank, Compstar forged H beam rods, Forged Mahle pistons, balanced rotating assembly, GM block bored .030 over, Hyd roller cam.

what the fuck do you know? you know nothing… those heads keep increasing in flow past .550”-600” lift. idiot.

Gross Lift: .548/.548 but with a 1.6 rocker the lift was .584 / .584 Duration @ .050: 238/246 110 lobe sep.

All that is discussed in the video if you listen close. has 10to 1 comp ratio. 2.05 intake valves AFR heads, Forged Calies crank, Compstar forged H beam rods, Forged Mahle pistons, balanced rotating assembly, GM block bored .030 over, Hyd roller cam.

Summit Racing part number 1040 AFR's. 2.05 intake valves, angle plug, 65cc chamber.

I forget myself but I would put a RPM air gap on a motor like that.

What's the duration and static compression of your engine? To mee your cam, intake and carb are too small for a 406. I'd run a 248/254 @ .050 cam with at least .630"/.630" lift and a 110 LSA, super victor intake and a 1000 cfm carb. Also are the numbers you posted flywheel or rear wheel?

@@daleyoung601 I think it is a 236/242 .548/.548 Erson hydraulic roller grind, solid roller lifters with 1.6 rockers makes it .584 on a 112 LSA. The builder tried a 2” Wilson spacer with same carb and then a 950 Holley XP and it only made a couple numbers more. I like to drive the streets most of the time and I knew there would be a trade off between strip and street but it just seems low. On the local dyno it only made 388whp with no alt belt, electric fan and an electric water pump. Talk about a let down. Made 2 pulls from 3500 to 6000 and the graph never really went up except on the hit it was just level. Also I am running a Hughes 3500 to 3700 stall

@@daleyoung601 10.6/1 cranking is 175 psi

That's not unreasonable, especially at that intake duration. I have a 383, 236-242@.050, 575 lift solid roller , 10.5:1 cr , 220 pro topline heads 290cfm. Only made 428hp 6200 rpm. Seemed sketchy to me , but runs WAY better than all the so called "400" hp 350s I've been around. Same Dyno 421 SBC 12:1 comp, circle track engine made 520hp.

Yes

Hydraulic roller. I will look up the cam specs. and post them.

@@wreckanchor Nice.

Gross Lift: .548/.548 but with the 1.6 rockers lift is .584/.584. Duration @ .050: 238/246

@@wreckanchor Did you drill the AFR heads for the steam holes? Also how does it idle? Does it have a lope or slightly choppy? Or civilized and silky smooth? I would like to build a similar motor for my 1990 Corvette convertibale, but want my mother to be able to drive it as well.

@@sportsmansparadice42 Yes AFR drilled the heads for steam holes at my request when I ordered them. Cam has a pretty nasty lope but the throttle response is amazing due to the dual plane intake and the 195 heads paired with everything. I would not give this to my mother to drive however its too powerful & can get away from you quick if you dont know how to drive something with this much torque IMHO.

More HP at higher rpm but less torque i would think. 750 isnt enough for it. This dyno run it has a 850 xp on it.

That's not a 10k motor for sure. I did not built it but it is a stock block.

I had a 400 sbc with flat top pistons and GM Vortec heads, flat tappet hyd cam and the same intake manifold and it made 423 hp @ 5500 rpm and 520 ft pounds of torque. The cam is a fairly mild comp cams 280H. The 400 sbc is a torque monster and you dont need to rev it high to get that power. Avg man can build this engine

195cc and 850 xp I am not sure about the intake but its nothing special.

Looks to be Holley Street Dominator 300-36. It’s discontinued. Equivalent to the Edelbrock Performer Rpm

@@TPVPRO The intake is a Holley 300-36. Best dual plane intake ever made for the SBC in my opinion. Close copy of the 69 z28 Winters intake. Has the biggest runners and plenum volume of all the aftermarket dual plane intakes that I am aware of. I have them on a few cars and they always perform well. I typically add a 1 inch spacer. They out perform the Edelbrock AIr Gaps and performers by a noticable difference.

@@kristjanstefansson2765Correct. Best dual plane sbc intake IMHO.

Boneshaker I was running the Edelbrock air gap on my 67 L30 327 but I wanted a vintage look as it's in my 57 Gasser. So I replaced it with that 69 Z28 manifold you mentioned (eBay .. not cheap) and it seems to run as strong or stronger!

Not my setup but it's a AFR race ready 195cc SBC head. You for sure go 210 that's what is on my setup

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7WmgbCQ1pbRl30.html

Get the head just before the ones you have to run offset rocker arms for them. Can't remember but I think they are 220's any horsepower you loose below 3500 you will find it plus some at 6500-6800

AFR PART #: 1040 2.05 valves, 65cc chamber, 850 cfm Holley, 1 inch spacer. Dual plane Holley 300-36 intake. Dynatech Headers SBC 1-5/8-1-3/4 Stainless With 3″ Reducer. Car has a custom bent 3 inch exhaust front to back.

If you don't mind i'm curious what cam you used in this build? Also what heads, my engine is not far from yours and i'm just trying to compare how we're making power differently. My engine is primarily for street use with 10.85 to 1, some trips to the track anticipated.

@@waynetessier3058 Your asking about Philips engine or the one in this video?

@@wreckanchor ; I was asking regarding Phillips engine. I would be very happy with your engine build as my full roller 383 is very similar with 200 cc eddy Etec heads, if I were to do it again I would trade my heads for the AFR 195's. The reason I was asking about Phillips engine is my 10.7 to 1 399ci. 1st. gen is putting out 641 hp. and 560 ft lbs. on 89 pump gas.

Yeah. lol

Gross Lift: .548/.548 but with a 1.6 rocker the lift was .584 / .584 Duration @ .050: 238/246 110 lobe sep.

What do you want to know? 406 cubic inch factory GM 400 block. Calies forged crank, forged rods, and pistons. Just over 10to1 compression, hydraulic roller cam. AFR 195 heads, Holley 300-36 intake, Holley 850 carb. I think a huge part of this engines performance is due to the efforts of the engine builder Karl Ellwein. Search his videos here on youtube and you will see how super particular he is in everything he builds. Everything he builds seems to over achieve power wise. I dove 5 hours each way just to have this man build this engine for me. Would do it again in a minute.
