I remember watching this on tv and it looked modern, now it looks vintage like 1995😂

Crazy to think that I just 12 years all the high HP cars have around 650hp with automatics or dual clutch transmissions.

If you're pumping 93 octane into a 9.5:1 motor, you're more than likely throwing your money away.

Too bad those overdrives are so expensive they are 2 or 3 grand right?

Unless you find them dumped at a scrap yard, than you pay so much for pound. I got mine like that.

@thomasbishop9098 5 жыл бұрын

But yes, very expensive. Mine has a 208 Ford transfer adapter. To go to my Dodge is an 850$ adapter. However, my Dodge used a 208 transfer case. Not sure what the difference is between Ford and Dodges 208s, besides one is drivers drop, one is passenger. But I will find out!

10 years after video is made = 1000 hp LS and HEMI crate engines. Supper cool overdrive, but the price is pretty high. The good thing is if it can take 1200 hp it must last forever in 600 hp street car.

@MrJohnnyDistortion At 9.5:1 compression, cylinder pressure is not high enough to require the use of such a "high" octane. 93 octane isn't high, but its also not necessary. The heads aluminum construction matched with an efficient combustion chamber thwart detonation. After the optimum octane for a specific cylinder pressure is reached, any higher octane will reduce power output because high octane gas burns slower. However it does offer a nice buffer, and more advanced timing can be run.

I didn't realize this unit could be used as a split shifter. If only it had another lever, like the Advanced Adapters Ranger unit. It's expensive enuff this GV is priced more than my old truck is worth. Too bad. I like the concept.

This video was posted in 2010, however this episode of "Trucks" was aired no later than 2005. Did the LS9 crate engine exist in 2004 or 2005?

The aluminum allows heat created by combustion to be dissipated faster. Very useful when trying to avoid detonation, as heat is the enemy. The efficiency I speak of comes from the shape of the combustion chamber and the postion of the valves and spark plug in the chamber. All BBC have canted valves, tremendously aiding flow. But earlier designs have open chambers and poor swirl characteristics. Dealing with that brings more challenges into the mix, when building a motor. A book could be written

I see many touting the Vortec heads.Are there SB heads that are favored?Again,I ask strictly for street performance use in a 350 hp engine that may have a turbo or S-Charger introduced later on.Thank you again for your knowledge and allowing me to pick your brain.

@madtownmadman 13 жыл бұрын

@MrJohnnyDistortion 91 would be more than enough. 89 would be adequate. And I'm sure it wouldn't detonate even if 87 was used.

@madtownmadman What's a better alternative?

@nikushim666 12 жыл бұрын

"no body has built a more powerful crate engine" There are a number of LS9 crates that would easily out preform a 572 big block crate. Though a LS9 crate engine is triple the price and has vary fue aftermarket options..

@MrJohnnyDistortion 13 жыл бұрын

@madtownmadman What do you mean exactly by a heads alluminum construction and an efficient combustion chamber?Because to me it means the same thing.Keeping in mind the 3 points that you mentioned,head construction,efficient combustion chamber & advanced timing with higher octane,what combo or combo's would be best or taken into consideration above others for street performance?I'm assuming there would be quite a few?Thanx for the interesting info to ponder.

@thomasbishop9098 5 жыл бұрын

93 octane so you can run 9.5 to 1 with aluminum heads? Would think 93 would handle 11:1 w/ aluminum heads?

my 521 big block ford has over 11.5 to one compression with iron heads, i run 92 octane in it...granted it doesnt really like it =D...lol, but it hardly pings at all with cenex 92 in it, its cenex 92 or 100 octane avgas. With a procomp distributor and cenex 92 it probably wont ping at all, i just need to put it in.

Hey David This is kind of misleading cause those gear vendor overdrives are for one driveshaft only. How are you going to do some serious rock crawling with a two wheel drive? When your burning around in your bush buggy I noticed only the rear wheels are spinning.

US Gear over/under drive that's how. They are both the same planetary gears just reversed to give over or under drive. Bolts in between transmission & transfer case (rated for 35,000 lb gross vehicle weight) It can be used the same as a split rear end. So your 4 speed could be driven like a 8 speed (or a 5 speed depending on when you use it) Only way to use a gear venders for 4x4 is a divorced transfer case. They are largely used for drag racing & don't have as high of a gross vehicle weight rating
