STOCK EFI VS CARB, FULL DYNO RESULTS, PLUS CAM & CHEAP NOS. CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I RAN A JUNKYARD GEN-6 454 FRESH FROM THE YARD. WHAT MAKES MORE POWER, THE FACTORY EFI INDUCTION OR A DUAL-PLANE AND CARBURETOR? HOW MUCH POWER IS NITROUS WORTH? HOW ABOUT A CAM/SPRING UPGRADE? ITS ALL HERE.

Injectors will get replaced as far as the block with 300 plus thousand miles. I be doing a lot of fundraising because it's for my sons dually & a stroker build is what he wants 496 bigger cam of course. He wants as much torque low speed N/A. He's already happy with the factory power as is but be nice to upgrade. Great time to go through mid-life I get to build something for my son. See You on the next Notification 👏👍😎✌

Also, I have some info on improving the EFI system. I had this motor installed with the stock intake in my monte carlo (viewable on my channel) The factory common rail marine style fuel rail was a huge pain in the butt, and also, it is difficult to keep the rail lined up. I added 80 lb. Siemens injectors, and spent two and a half weeks balancing between having a vacuum leak and a fuel leak. I recently purchased Holley EFI intake 300-561 (Edelbrock makes a version of the victor jr that is comparable), and Edelbrock's 4150 Throttlebody (co-incidentally both the mounting flange pattern and the part number). The Factory L29 TPS, IAC, and MAP sensor plugs, plug directly into the Throttle body, allowing you use the Edelbrock on board MAP sensor. I will do a video for you EFI L29 guys showing you some options for fitment, and lets see if we can peer pressure Richard into Dynoing them.

Thanks for the Gen IV 454 l29 performance tips. I’m currently running the l29 in a k2500 suburban with a snorkel fed, Custom box to a 102mm tb adapter plate to the Stock intake manifold with a lil bit of upper manifold port work. Basic Ignition upgrades, coil, wires, plugs; exiting out JBA 1 7/8” shorties to a dual cat, dual turndown post Magnaflow dual X muffler. Im researching now for a Fuel Injector, ECU flash Camshaft, Dual Roller, Spring upgrade, and I’m in the same boat with the spring and rotator shim selection. I’m also researching on how large of a injector will I need on the stock ecu with HP tuners or stock Injectors with FPR adjustment, but I’m definitely picking up the compXR cam for this build. Thanks for the expert advise, Keep them coming Richard.

Excellent video Richard. Next, late model fuelie 460. Not the dove heads or anything from "back in the day". North east rust belt there's lots of '90's 460's and while everyone say "get a set of blah, blah, blah heads, I want to know how well it works with the factory low compression, too big of quench area and poor factory ports. Run it efi, then dual plane and 650 ( or 750 vac sec) then put on headers, then a torque cam. (214/224@.050 and 512/536 lift for example). Loved the older 460 but up here in the east, if it's older than 20 years it's already rusted out and gone. But, lots of 88-95 f350's just waiting for a hot rodder in the junk yards. Thanks.

For your question on springs: I Recently put together a gen 6 with stock heads, used crane 99896 springs, Comp rotator eliminators, crane 99970 retainers, and some .050 taller locks. They are a dual spring so I did have to cut down the guides for seals, and to clear my cam’s lift of 598 on the exhaust. But each spring was installed at 1.900 or a few thousands shorter. No coil bind issues with those springs

@albertgaspar627
@albertgaspar627 3 жыл бұрын
Avoid vehicles hit hard enough in the ass the rear axle is moved forward. There's a chance the driveshaft has acted like a battering ram and pushed on the trans enough to move the crank a bit (that will require a minimum of main journal machining to repair, if it can be done). Check for signs of massive leaks--oil attracts dirt, gasoline cleans what it touches. Look in the radiator, a rainbow sheen suggests oil got into the water--either a crack or a bad head gasket. If it looks like French Vanilla ice cream, that could be just condensation. Pull the dipstick--if it looks like it was blowing oil, that could just be a bad PCV. If it has none of these sins, put a breaker bar on the crank snout and see if the engine spins. If its freed up, then pay about what you could get back selling the individual parts of the engine (in case closer inspection reveals a bad engine). Take home, do a compression test (unless you're good at doing it with a bicycle pump at the junkyard). If you're putting the engine into an actual vehicle instead of a dyno, there's a 50% chance your water pump is too short or too long for the radiator, so replace it and timing chain and you're probably doing a cam swap at this time (nastier the cam, the more you have to pull the heads to check with clay for valve clash. good idea to check valvetrain lash and make sure the rocker arms aren't shaving themselves into the oil). If you're replacing the piston rings, you're doing a rebuild, not a freshening up. But if you plan on boost, you want a big ring end gap so the rings don't butt together. Chances are a high mileage engine already has done it for you. If you swap to headers, soak the flange gaskets overnight in water, and install wet. They'll form to fit, and retighten after firing off and drying off. If this was some engine made before the 1980's chances are the oil is sludge. This is the ONLY time someone should clean with gasoline. Pour some of the leftover lawnmower gas in thru the intake (if you do it thru the valve covers, it can eat the rubber valve seals, but you're probably gonna replace them sooner rather than later anyway) and slosh the engine around on a stand or 'picker. It won't clean all the sludge, but after you run some modern oil (ie, detergent), you might be no worse off than any other used engine. Final issue with any engine swap is the radiator--its full of whatever rusty scale was in the old engine, do you want that in the "new" one? The cheap-o block clean is to run a cap of laundry detergent in the rad and get the engine up to operating temp--in other words, turn it into a washing machine. Then flush the block out totally, refill cooling, burp it totally of air (put front end of car up in air, drill tiny hole in thermostat, leave alone for all air to bubble into highest part of rad, then run with a funnel full of coolant until it stops blowing bubbles). and that's the shade tree mechanic way.

Richard. Back in the day, a friend of mine had a 82 mustang with a pretty stout 302. It was set up with the Z cam, victor jr intake, a 750 double pumper, headers, etc. The only thing was he was using a set of small chambered 289 heads (for compression) that were ported and had 1.940" intake and 1.600" exhaust valves. He would shoot a 100 shot on it and it would gain 150 at the wheels vs no nitrous. Have you ever had a nitrous experience where the the oxygen was so bottlenecked that the power jumped higher on NO2 than the jet ratings?

Skipped a step compared to the standard LS tests? A small (218/220ish?) though bigger than factory cam used with factory efi since you can tune for it easy enough with the Holley system. Just for those guys that actually use them in a truck/suv? Do ported factory heads or just bigger valves and a bowl port make difference with the stock efi manifold. Does a bigger throttle body make difference, does the abrasive silly putty help the factory manifold enough to warrant the expense in a truck application. Many steps Missed/omitted, not to mention the rumored gen V/VI Hybrid motor test??

Is it possible for you to show a Dyno graph with stock setup and jeep 4.0 single hole injectors on this 454. Did this to my 98 and it feels smoother.

What would you build a 98 vortex 5.7 up to(low buck lol) I haven’t seen you build one. You always put the vortex heads on a older block but never build a full roller.

Hey Richard. Did you ever figure out a different combination of springs with the XR276? I am getting ready to swap in a L29 into my 79 c10, and putting together a “shopping list”.. EFI or Carb has been quite an internal debate..

I have a 1999 Gen VI and purchased this Cam, Xtreme Energy XR276HR Hydraulic Roller Camshaft, Lift: .510"/.510" Duration: 276/282 Lobe Separation Angle: 110° from Comp and they told me to use spring 911-16. It is a single spring with a coil bind height of 1.2" I haven't installed yet but will shortly.

Just out of curiosity, is there a correlation between engine and price? EG, Mopar 360 vs GM 350 vs Ford 5 liter. Is there a price difference for gen changes? What is the average price you pay for engines, and is that a special price for your volume? Love all the testing and the knowledge you share. Thanks for sharing.

Bro we watch you doing all these common engines all the time but you seem to skip over an engine that has a massive production number and is completely beloved by it's owners.. the 4.0 jeep. We all know it doesn't make big numbers but it should still be considered for this KZfaq. Thanks 😁

OK I guess my question should be that Cam obviously obviously you know you might think you would want more fuel in some situations but I put some aftermarket fuel injectors in here that are in improvement over stock made by Motor mountain fuel injectors and they seem to be pretty good in jectors for especially what I paid for but I would like to see if I did a Cam upgrade on this with the factory computer in my suburban if I could just get a little bit more out of it

It's be a bit of a PITA but you couldn't you turn those rotators down on a lathe or a mill? Depending upon how you hold them down it might be easier and quicker with the mill.
