i’ve watched this video countless times over the last 4 months you’ve helped me a lot on my small block build! In a framing carpenter working 40+ hours a week so i’m lucky to put an hour or two at it on weekdays but i’ve spent every weekend working on this project. Anyways thanks man! super knowledgeable 💪

THE SMALL BLOCK CHEVY IS A GREAT ENTRY-LEVEL MOTOR TO LEARN ON. IT HAS BEEN AROUND FIFTY YEARS. THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THIS MOTOR. AND PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE TODAY!!! THAT IS WHY I LOVE IT!!! I LOVE THE LS ALSO!!!! THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME BUILD!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING AND I LEARNED SO MUCH!!!! YOUR BUILD CAME OUT GREAT!!!

I like the way that you are using everything original when possible. A decent cam all i would change when reviving an old SBC. ofcourse the bearings rings timing chain etc. should be changed. Good job 👍

Never really referred to it as the overlap stroke, always intake or in this case exhaust stroke. Overlap occurs at the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke which is TDC of the exhaust stroke which does makes it correct. 👍

For LSA choices, you should watch the last 2 Cattledog garage videos. He explains HOW to get the correct LSA for a camshaft like no one else has. I purchased Billy Godbold's new book and feel that I wasted my money. Cattle Dog does an excellent job. You will find that your 106 choice may not be optimum. Yes, it will work good and the difference will not be 1.000 h.p. but it will perform better at all rpm ranges while using the rest of the lobe specs. LSA is critical for proper cylinder filling and scavenging. The information provided will take complete attention, possibly stopping and rewinding to get a better grasp. Even David Vizard likes the videos and he is probably one of the most knowledgeable guys on the planet. It is a shame about his daughter and for him to have needed brain surgery, it has affected his recall so he kind of stalls on some of his videos. He has written quite a few books. Your build looks like a nice one and should be fun to drive.

Great vid really enjoyed it super helpful for first time builder like myself great work.

Tdc with both valves closed. Its a 4 cycle engine. U have first the intake stroke, then the compression stroke, then the power stroke, then the exhoust stroke is the last one bringing u back to tdc to start it all over again.

I love that cam have used it a lot on street and it sounds killer with compression.and works great dirt track hobby stock .won 5 champion ships with that cam .run fellpro .014 head gasket with 64 cc get u right at 11 .tight quench wakes them sbc up

My favourite for Street Driven builds is the old Weiand Stealth, and if you can find one the Holley 300-36 - the DZ302 manifold

I'm looking forward to the next one🔥🔥🔥

Good video guys, you explained it well. I myself have never built an engine but I would like to get a junkyard engine to freshen up (crate motors are too expensive) also nice ripping guitar for “background music”

enjoy those dyno max mufflers I have the thrush rattler also n I have the rpm intake n a 1in spectre spacer it's a 2 in 1 pack

I adjusted my lash while it was running. I would back it off till I heard tapping and then adjusted till it just stopped and called it good.

Looks fantastic.

Even though the tall valve cover are trendy, they don't mean anything performance wise. They just get in the way when working on the carburetor and so on. Shave down the valve spring seats, drill for 7/16 rocker arm studds to cut down on flexing and put regular valve covers on the heads and just like that, a super sleeper. At least that's what im doing with my SBC 350. I have the same heads with 2" intake valves and bigger double springs. Im going to install a 144 blower and be done with it.

There is only one TDC per cylinder.

Just use some Permatex liquid teflon on the head bolt threads and your good to go. Also you don't want paint on your intake gasket sealing surfaces. SBC is a great motor to learn on. Good work!

Great job vloging and engine work both difficult great job

Dude I like your attitude and your doing things right you did good with long slot rockers because a lot of guys put performance camshafts in there I don't pay attention with the rocker arms I would have went with the roller tip rockers because you would definitely get just a little bit more horsepower for a just a couple more dollars but that's okay it'll still work good attitude
