454 Engine Swap: Installing Big Block Engine and Supercharger (78 Firebird Ep.36)

Рет қаралды 69,391

Жыл бұрын

Now that the old engine is out of the car, we should have plenty of space for the Big Block Chevy 454 we have been rebuilding! It may not be quite as easy as dropping it into the engine bay, but we will make it happen one way or another. Then, we will get our rebuilt B&M 250 supercharger installed along with the carburetors and engine accessories.
Also, I forgot to include the part number in the video itself, but the power steering pump hardware set was "OER Power Steering Pump Stud and Bolt Kits 1253573"
Timeline of filming: December 31st, 2020 - January 30th, 2021

It has been four months since the last upload, so first off I need to apologize for the radio silence and thank those of you who reached out with care and concern. All is well, in fact it has been a car project that has been taking up almost all of my time. I was convinced I could get it done by July... then August... and it is still in pieces all over the garage and house. I've been struggling, for years now, to find a balance between these projects, the videos covering them, and every other aspect of life. Obviously I am still working on that balance, but I'm hoping that changing the way videos go together will help in the future. I may not be fast (same goes for my cars), but videos will keep on coming and the encouragement and support from all of you means the world and makes the work entirely worth it! Thank you all!

Don't over work yourself to the point you no longer enjoy it. Please make sure you focus on your mental health. I and I am sure everyone else, are more than happy to wait and follow along. Thank you for putting these out :)

No need for apologies, always a pleasure when a new video drops, but never let it bother you that it takes a long time. Make sure you come first homie.

@briang4470 11 ай бұрын

What makes your videos so great is that you show the real world, down to earth realitys of car building. A lot of these car builder shows really do this hobby a great disservice and make most people think that everything is plug and play, super easy, take it out of box, bolt it on and go but like your videos show, pretty much every component will have to be modified to some extent. It's what makes this hobby so rewarding at the end, getting to see all those hard spent hours of work to finally pay off.

My unmet car friend, it has been A long road to here and I am excited to see all of the solutions you come up with. I am most excited to see and hear it run as well. I have not forgotten all of the armchair engine builders telling you that your work on this engine was in vain and it would never run right. I being a retired automotive machinist chimed in to "educate" these in the ways of the real world. The events that take place in a real world engine shop. I am very confident this will run just fine but I am excited to have it happen in real time. Cheers!! here is to a successful build.

At the end of the day, it is a journey. And it’s quite comforting to see that some things won’t go as planned, taking up more time, but get done nonetheless. One day I t will be finished. And it will be your own, customized, one of a kind Firebird. Glad you’re still on it and haven’t thrown in the towel!

Life happens and sometimes we take on too much. There’s the goals we want to reach, then life can be a gut punch. Never stop. Just keep going and doing and before ya realize, you’ll be done. Don’t forget it’s the joy of getting there, not being there, yet.

@bruwin 11 ай бұрын

It's always a kick in the pants when you've built yourself the perfect solution then have to tear it all down to build a new perfect solution. But it looks like you got there in the end... right? There won't be any more problems at all. All smooth sailing with that engine!

@reloadingfun 10 ай бұрын

I finally checked back in to see how things were going with the project, and I was delighted to see this video. I'm glad to see it coming together. I'm excited for the next video. I'm glad to see you got a lathe. every time I watched you make a spacer, I thought to myself, that's what you needed. I have a lathe and a mill and don't know how I would get by without one sometimes. don't be too hard on yourself. I totally understand how hard it can be to balance certain things in life. A guy can only do what he can do. I think naturally, there are times we hold ourselves to a higher standard than is realistic.
