HOW CAN I MAKE A 600 HP BIG BLOCK? CAN I ADD BOOST TO MY 8.1L GEN 7 BBC? WILL A 496 STROKER MAKE OVER 600 HP WITH STOCK, IRON HEADS? CAN I RUN A 6-71 BLOWER ON MY JUNKYARD 454? HOW MUCH POWER DO HEADS, CAMA ND INTAKE ADD TO A JUNKYARD 454? CAN I RUN BOOST ON A GEN 6 454? HOW MUCH IS A HEAD SWAP WORTH ON A 496 STROKER? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I DEMONSTRATED THREE DIFFERENT METHODS OF EXCEEDING 600 HP WITH A BIG BLOCK CHEVY. THE COMBOS INCLUDE A TURBO 8.1L, AN ALL-MOTOR 496 WITH STOCK, REC-PORT, IRON HEADS AND A GEN 6 454 EQUIPPED WITH HCI AND A 6-71 BLOWER (AT DIFFERENT BOOST LEVELS).

I’m so glad rich is doing videos on the gen 7. It’s much needed information.

@djrowe10 Жыл бұрын

Not sure why gen 7 would be much different than gen 6, 5, or 4? Only gen 7 and gen 8 heads are the biggest difference, but the dimensions and sizes are all similar from 1964 and up. What did you learn exactly as I like to learn too? RH is a modern shop teacher learning the masses about what was top secret just under 20 years ago! 👍

My old 468 I built made 610hp/555ft lbs with 93 octane, 10.2:1 compression and a 850 double pumper carb. I used a set of unported 308 iron eagle heads, victor jr intake. and the #7 rocker coming off at the end of the Dyno pull. Didn't get to make another pull. 👀🤷 Great video as usual!!🤟

If you're going to use the stock manifold, you need to take it off and modify it first. The PCV system bleeds directly off the bottom of the manifold and will pump your cylinders full of excess oil. That needs to be plugged.

Hey Richard what was the compression ratio on the 496 with the rods, pistons and the 088 heads? Made over 600 hp. I currently run a 496 with more or less the same rotating assembly, highly ported 088 heads and a marine cam. In my situation I ran out of money and couldn't afford a nicer roller cam. Used a flat tappet comp cam. 544/547 lift 240/240 duration ( that's a close number on duration, can't remember exactly) with a 112 lobe separation. Think I'm close to 600 hp at the flywheel? Have a Holly single pumper 750 4150 flange on it now I also don't think is enough carb. This setup is in a 24 foot boat. THANKS!

As long as you aren't floating the valves as boost and rpm increase, it's all good. Dyno seems to agree.
