Every time Steve said “Big Black Hemi” I was hearing it sung to the tune of “Black Betty” by Ram Jam.

I feel an oven in Steve's future, bake blocks and aneal that damn gasket in another 30 years.

How he sprayed a little starter fluid into the throttle body and walked away was like damn. Steve morris is a legend.

*_If your a real "car guy" let alone motor enthusiast, this is the dopest channel on the KZfaq!_* _Truly amazing content from Steve Morris Engines!_

Name it E Normas.

1320hp NA, 2250 @ 25lbs with conservative timing. I hope when it's ready to see the boat run. Great content, keep it coming. No false advertising here, I learn something from every video. Thanks Steve, Kyle and the rest of the team!

Did anyone else see the Intake explosion.....Look at the throttle body at 19:00-19:04. Pretty big fire ball in the intake

Cleet is going to fly with engine😂😂🎉🎉

Like they say, there is no replacement for Displacement. That thing is a Monster! Can't wait to see what it does Supercharged.

C'mon Steve, leave some CFM for the rest of us. That is awesomeness

Your video editing has become so good, the channel is as entertaining to watch as Cleetus now

Beautiful work of art. I'm not into racing or engine building but I always walk away learning something from your videos and for that I am very grateful. Thank you. I came across your channel from that monster Haas machine that was damaged and here I am watching all of your videos :)

Its soo cool to see Joe working on this. He did my coyote heads in 2019 and they are still gamgster 5 years later 💪✌️

Steve needs a auto clave of some sort, he could aneal those gaskets and heat his blocks up to retorque

I used to work for a company that made airplane deicer trucks and some of the models had this system that used a hydraulically power ATI Procharger that looked about that size, but maybe larger, that pushed air down a nozzle to blow the ice off of planes. I was told that the blast of air could blow your feet right out from under you. They were really impressive. They had a cart with an engine at the other side of the shop, where they would break the Prochargers in before installing them in the cab on the boom. When they ran them in, it sounded like a jet engine running.

I had no idea that copper needed to be annealing. I been in manufacturing for over 40 years. I just learned something. Thank you Steve!!

I used to run water from my hot water heater into the engines to heat them up on the stand. Very cool looking project.

NA Horsepower -- 1,645 25 lb boost - 3,362

Love the video and just the knowledge bomb that is always dropped. To the basic mechanic to an engine builder you always have a great piece of advice to add. Keep up the great work!!!

1,110 NA, 1,960 @ 25 LBS, Pump Gas Definitely the Limiting Factor, Great video Again Steve🏁🤙🏼

I wish I could rent a room there just to be able to watch these guys. I so much miss building race engines.

call it Mandingo...

I have been waiting for the "Big Black Hemi" start up! Great video, great work all of you guys.

The machine work on those heads is incredible !!!!!

I’d call it angus.

Copper anneals the opposite of steel. To anneal the bad head gasket, heat it up and rapidly cool it.

What an engine and very pretty as well. 1200 and 2450 hp on boost. Thanks.

This is so cool. Your videos are so fun to watch.

Steve when my boat was built back in the day . She was sporting a Keith Black hemi with a Littlefield blower on top. 😮

Cleetus needs this for eagle 😂

Put that Unit in Cleets Cub !! Cleetus be rollen with that deal !! MURICA BABY 🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸

That's a massive motor 😮 liking the content brother!

1180 N/A, 2330 @ 25 pounds. What a beast of an engine!

Annealing is a must. Every time you handle it, the copper is hardening, so we used to anneal copper gaskets immediately prior to installation. 😊 oven gloves to put it on the studs, immediately prior!

That Bbc with Sonny's hemi heads is bad azz... I have been wanting a Sonny's Bbc Brodix block with Sonny's aluminum water hemi heads and a f4-136 procharger in my 88 Monte SS that's a street driven drag car.

What a gem! Love that engine! NA 1011hp, 1788hp with 25lbs boost.

I need this motor in my 15’ whaler

Call it "The Green 1/4 Mile" from the 1999 movie. Big black guy and also is the boat doing 1/4 mile runs.

You the man amazing build!

1440 N/A, 2852 @25# Put my rifle cartridges through an annealing after each firing. Keeps the neck tension consistent.

GM made a 637 cubic inch big block and had 5 and 1/8 inch bore Shoot for the moon Steve

I'd want one in a Pantera

1230/2870 hp I learn something every time I watch your channel! Thanks Steve and crew.

Proudly powering a cruise liner near you. 🤘

I would call that thing "Black Betty"

Cool Vid on the Big Black Hemi..! But, I Can Not Believe For as Long as You Have Been Building Engines You Never Anealed Copper Head Gaskets with an OnA Torch... 😮😮😮😮

Great video! Thanks Steve. 1650hp na 3420hp on boost

903 CI procharged hemi before GTA 6 is crazy

I remember seeing this in the shop in person, it's wild! and the boat it goes in is wild!

This is a fun engine build! So unique.

1200 NA 3200 Boosted 🙏Been watching since I was in middle school and found out about the devel sixteen, love how interactive and informative your content is.

Steve and Kyle, y'all rock! That's one big black hemi. It's a monster. Peace

in diesels they cut the gasket back for the fire ring to seal the combustion chamber, or use a single "o-ring" in the head on top of the mls sealing surface.

That engine looks awesome! Going go run hard all day I am sure. Bet it makes 1197 NA and 1854 boosted. Can't go to crazy since it will run higher throttle all day, not just a few seconds at a time. Would love to see the boat this thing is going in!

Have you thought of using a thermolator used in injection molding machines for heating the engines? They heat/cool water and circulate it through molds, one might be worth looking into for engines, could double as a leak down test for gaskets as well.

This startup and the second pull gave me the biggest smile. If I were to put this diamond of an engine in a boat, I would name it "The Lung" and give it "a brother" :)

That hemi looks so amazing.

Steve I used to build boxes to heat parts up, it helps heat up the item faster as it helps hold heat in and then you don’t have to direct it at the part as much. Might help with heats engines up faster and more evenly. Just an idea. Love the channel

Being a big time Hemi fan. I love this black hemi. Steve every time you say black him I keep hearing the song black Betty.

The thing about copper. When it’s worked or bent or rolled etc. it naturally hardens. So a thick slab of copper rolled to a few MM will be harder than a thinner slab rolled into the same thickness. That’s why copper pipes, wire are made in the foundry.

That is one massive masterpiece

"Norman." Why I genuinely love Steve Morris..

bro had me at that look @ 16:00 lol. also smartest guy in the room with the best hearing protection

When you shown the big block cam in the journal like a hot dog in a hallway, all I could think of is “this is you, this is who she says not to worry about” aka the big black hemi

If its ocean water cooled with a elevated saline content you can probably add a hair more timing because of reduced coolant temps. Im going 1198 NA and 2149 on 25lbs. 2275 in cool salt water

Tyrone seems fitting

Man, what a monster! When you showed that gasket after the head had been torqued on it, I pretty much guessed that gasket wasn't annealed properly to soften it up. We used to do dirt bike head gaskets like that, and had to take a torch to them until they turned colors and drop them in a pail of water. I'm guessing with a good tune, N/A, you'll be seeing around 1145 hp. and on 25 lbs. of boost, around 1615 hp., maybe a little more? Let's see how close I get.😄👍👍

Seen a twin turbo 1005 CI Sonny’s. This will be cool. 3:49 Oh yea! Blasphemis Hemi has fought Finnegan every step of the way. So we are awash in how much trouble and white hair a Hemi can cause.

Thanks for the video

Do I think I will ever be able to afford a SM engine... Probably not. But I sure as hell love watching this man, and his team work. I love this channel 😁

Material application issues on the head gasket. Normal teething pains when you run on that knife edge. You go Steve!

@14:45 I about feel out of my chair when you named it. (that's my name. LOL), but I just go by Norm. hah!

Can't wait to see this thing with the supercharger. A monster indeed.

I like your timing light ❤

I put a copper gasket in my "slightly modified" Yamaha RD350LC, it had to be heated cherry red to anneal it before installation.

Steve needs a little oven like used for powder coating that he can just wheel the block and stand into to bring it up and soak it at operating temp without having to think about it.

That mountain motor should be called “Everest”

i’m old-school is still run copper gaskets I’ve never seen a gasket that stiff that roller copper that that came off of the metallurgist screwed up. I bet you there’s a whole bunch of those gaskets out there someone probably tested the hardness and said it’s close enough SMF. Good thing you caught it. That would’ve been a lot of extra work.

Hey Steve, I believe all it takes to aneal copper gaskets is heat the copper to glowing and quench in water. Opposite of what steel would do.

That HEMI is one big black as mumba jumba of an Engine can't wait too see some numbers i hope we get too see this thing on the dyno let go an have a cup of tea

If you Dyno all your engines. Could you install a small water heater or boiler on your cooling system to warm up the engine for head torque and stabilize operations until it was producing heat on its own. Would be faster than heat guns. Manufacturers Testing Facilities have something similar. Thanks for the videos, Steve.

That procharger is massive 😮

Little slip up toward the end saying it will be running on gas down the street from Bradenton. Congrats Cleetus/Eagle. This will be a BEAST!

Great Video Steve, You may want to add a bridge reinforcement to the outside of the engine plate on the left side mount. Even a small gap that is not supported can be a stress riser you have done such great work on everything else why take the chance! just my opinion and i tend to "overbuild" for ultimate strength!

1247hp NA , 2032hp @ 25 LBS. awesome video Steve.

Putting that big block cam in that engine cam bore was like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. That's a big engine.

Awesome engine 👏 😎 you Daman 👏 👌...keep living the dream ✨️

Building yourself an oil tank with a heater and circulation pump complete with secondary filtering oil inspection etc.. rig to pre heat soak engines might not warm up the shop as much as air heaters.

I’m going to say 2130 HP boosted!

Awesome looking engine

Gotta love that ProCharger! 1350 NA / 2330 @ 25lb

What a Monster Motor!

"Bankruptcy" seems a fitting name. lol

You should watch marketplace for a powder coating oven that you could use to heat engines. Bonus being, you do powder coating for things that just need a quick shot of color.

Holy cow, those...... those pushrods!

I love the Chevy bellhousing pattern on a Hemi block! way less hassle to stuff a Turbo 400 behind that beast or whatever outdrive stuff in this case.

make up a unit to put in the press to push the fire ring seal into the gasket ergo good fit

1243 hp na . 2342 hp boosted. Love the channel I learn a lot thanks

Yes sir back in the day those hard Copperhead gaskets the only way to seal them we had to spray both sides with copper coat to can get them to seal off...

That header coating must be pretty good stuff.
