Most of the shops who build stuff like this won’t even talk about it, thanks for a good peek into your set up, it’s very interesting and the video was well done also. I had to turn down the techno music but no biggie, cranked it back up for the engine sounds. Born in 1961, I remember these cars being on the street back in the day and always thought they were particularly ugly but somehow you have made this one look “right”. Keep pounding the street and I’d be happy to watch (and learn) if you decide to post up more video in the future.

wipe wipe, clean clean...waves cigar ash around above parts. haha

I feel embarrassed to say this but I'm 68 years old and this is my first time seeing the inside of a Hemi engine and it's inner workings, I started off as a mechanic at 18 years old professionally, built so many 440s, 413s, mostly wedges. Needless to say, I've been pausing and starting up again, making this video about an hour long. lol. Thank's for sharing this video, I'm immencely enjoying it.

I've seen this car up close and personal...........4 wheeled jewelry is the only way to describe it. No detail is spared. Simply beautiful.

this thing has more torque at idle than all of my cars combined

Nice that the video gives a lot of explaining about used parts, fluids and processes. Well done.

Enjoyed the video, watching a Keith Black engine being assembled. After watching your torquing procedures and techniques I must critique a little bit. 1. One should never used a calibrated torque wrench to loosen only to tighten "Standard practice" 2. Torque wrenches with critical torques should always be calibrated 3. When using an adapter to torque the cylinder head nuts on the underside, the adapter can simply be placed at 90 degrees and there is no torque calculation required at all only when it is any other position After reading your comments to the one person that commented about the deburring of the block and the aluminum shavings not being cleaned up in the video, this person made a valid point and it shows the way this person thinks that this was missed. I would have cleaned them out as well, no matter how many metal particles are created during initial start up or break in. You obviously responded as a professional mechanic in your mind, but any metal particle can and will cause damage eventually. I come from the aviation world so our standards are very high.

It is commendable that these people have disclosed such hard earned technical expertise.

building a 80,000 dollar engine smokin' a cigar,thats gotta be the most american thing ever.....man god bless this country haha

cigar smoking sweater wearing old guy. u know this shit is really serious

On another Dr mopar video someone left a comment saying, the owner seems quite smart is he an engineer,the answer is yes,very smart,amazing knowledge it seems,great stuff keep the awesome videos coming,Dr mopar.

watching these boys building that engine was very very satisfying - they proper know what they are doing!

Amazing work, the re-engineering is genius. I hope to get to this point one day. Great build

This type of engine building is true art.

I'm a chevy guy, but you can't beat a blown hemi. I have been around to help on some builds similar to this. I love the old school cigar smoking builders. They have so much knowledge and know how. They'll forget more than we will ever learn. Those heads are something to behold. Flowing over 500 cfm, is just unicorn status. Lol. Glad I'm not the only Permatex Assembly Lube fan, and I love the green oil. I have caught flack for having an affinity for it. Really enjoyed this video, and had to subscribe. Awesome guys

People should listen to this Mans advice believe me he knows his stuff Australia

Rubber gloves for a clean, surgical build process...while smoking a cigar lol. I like this dude.

Crazy how top fuel and Nitro teams literally do this shit every pass.....

Ive watched this video like 10 times and still i salivate . One of the better engine builds on the tube

That was awesome. I have just started a 2500cc VW air cooled turbo project. Not as exciting as this but you sure opened my eyes about how to properly build a high HP engine. Going to use this info on my build and for sure going to put in the extra hours on prep and tweaks. Thanks!

Every builder has a different opinion of oil, specs, and process. Clearly this isn't his first build and I say damn good job. The engine speaks for itself. Also, good job with the video and the music!

Labor of love right there. Thanks for sharing your experiences with it and taking the time to post, fregging awesome

Great video. Careful prep, cleanliness, and absolute attention to detail.

I was impressed with all the custom touches they did. The custom oiling for the rocker arms, welding on the heads, custom pushrod tubes (JB Welded. Lol). That stuff takes a lot of trial and error / knowledge.

I love the guys reaction in the passenger seat at the beginning lol, that was funny!!!

This is how to assemble an engine, What's missing is the days of math, and engineering it takes to calculate what horsepower you want to run, at what RPM. The torque it will take to achieve that HP, Cylinder bore, crank throw, and head & intake cfm to achieve said torque. And THEN you have to tune it!!!

That fly by at 3:41 made my jaw drop! Killer video Luke. Thanks for sharing man, Ethan

This isn't just engine building ..this is the science of building it correctly, lovingly, with a meticulous approach to detail. What a fuckin' animal this car is.

I know tis is a pretty old video but very likable, thanks for making it :-)

God, I wish I could give this more than one like.

This video is awesome, thanks for showing every detail! You guys really know what you're doing, fascinating!

Really Cool and that engine is beautiful. Great video. Not even half way through it yet!

Why hasn't this video been flagged for pornography?

Street engine?????????????? Only in America

Out of all the motors out there that have been tuned modified hoped up, or what ever you call it. This one takes the cake. The mighty all american hemi v8 is king of all performance engines.

judging based of the size of the cigar this guy really knows what he's doing... Thanks for the vids guys really helpful for car geeks like myself.

Experience speaks for it self

Damn Badass engine!! Dude is a legend

I don't understand 80% of anything, yet its so fascinating to watch. Why?

Great video and very humbling. I learned that while I thought I knew a bit about cars/engines and may some day want to attempt a modest build of my own, in reality I have a long LONG way to go. This makes it very clear, if you want to make serious power, you can't just buy a crate motor and swap it in. Thanks for the detailed look and good luck!

what a well made video. super informative

holy shit thats epic i watched the entire video

that`s awesome you guy`s made this video, that engines a work of art... thanks

Thanks for sharing the tips on making the thing last. Nice build!

Interesting view of inside blower and intake port. People think you just buy the parts from the car magazine and do not even think of the engineering it takes to make it all work together, you can't buy a book for that, it comes from thousands of hours of hard work. This is how to do it the right way. Keep up the good work.

This is one of the most beautiful builds I've seen everything is oiled in the engine down to the pushrods I wish every stock engine was built this way you would be able to put way more miles on your car with out a rebuild or problems

Never thought of build one for the street. Lots of interesting modifications and specialized parts.

The shot of the compressorblades, was super. 🇩🇰👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

Oh yea, it's certainly possible to build that kind of power and drive it on the street. The cost is huge. It's bad enough when you run em at the track. We tow up to the line and back to the pit to keep the hours down. We don't make any more than maybe 1700 horse on our best day. So I am in no way knocking this guys deal. And the "streetable" term is subjective. CAN you do it? Yea, in some places you can't but where you can...you can...WHILE you can. When it comes to extremely high horsepower engines it's about hours, not miles. I've gotten 6 seasons out of one motor without ever dropping the pan. But, when it went..there wasn't much left to salvage. This is kind of like owning a Lambo or something really exotic, in my opinion. Can you do it? Of course! But, there are few that could afford to do it often. Great vid! Love that block, I wish I could afford one. I've been using iron 440 blocks for decades. I've got about 20 cores, more than I'll ever need.

+Tinman 2 Kustoms Wow do you like pain. I just finished reading the entire string of comments. Some people just don't have a clue about what it is to be passionate in your work. So much energy wasted in negativity. I am 59 years old, I am building my third 6-71 BBC to be installed in my 12" lift 4x4 Suburban. All I can say is that actually driving a machine that you have dragged home, modified to your own personal taste and rebuilt completely is right up there on my list of the best things in life, better than sex. The only thing I think could top it would be to pilot a 50' dual gas turbine offshore race boat. But I haven't the funds or time remaining to pursue that. Just follow your passion.

I thought I was one of the only people to put a feeler gauge between the rods when torqueing rod bolts. But you know it's only good mechanical common sense. Loved this video.

wow that was fantastic to watch top job well done. from the UK you guys rock.

you should make another one and squeeze it inside a fiat 126p

In my opinion, a "street car" can have a race trans and a 5,000 rpm stall if you're willing to deal with that. But to be a real street car, it should run on pump gas.

Incredible how everything can make such a big change in power. Everytime I was thinking about my engine I thought I port the heads, swap the conrods and put a turbo on it... I am really thankful for this video even though not everything is explained as in the "tuning" videos or "how to" videos. Now I want a spare engine which I can tune and make better and maybe even run stronger :)

Great watching guys learning how to build an engine. Looks like awesome project.

how can anyone hate on this?

When all those big name car maker showing off in how a car is made while using their fancy suit and tie. Then, these people just some jeans and cigar, making a beast of an engine.

This is friggin great. Thanks for the secret look inside your shop, always great to see how the pros do it.

One of my favorite videos. Thanks TinMan". chris.

Talks about torquing in a smooth motion....but is using a 4" extension which greatly changes torque values...

Your definition of "street engine" is not the same as mine.

Just enjoy your unselfish sharing of your ingenuity,,thanks ,!!!

The time, work, and effort being put into this build is top level. I'm surprised the cigar smoker is okay with getting his ashes so close to the exposed interior of the engine. Apparently, cigar ashes don't corrupt motors.

Will it fit in my civic?

THE 1960'S CALLED, THEY WANT THEIR HEADS AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS BACK

the coolest man on planet earth..beautifully built hemi!

Its great how you explain some of your tricks! Aluminum rods not only being light weight they also cushion the blow of high combustion pressures

Most people spend less time and care raising their children than these people spend on one motor.

FUCK ALL THE HATERS on this car. You no what haters are " jealous people " If you can't look at a beautiful piece of automotive engineering, and appreciate it for what it is, then shut the fuck up and kick rocks.......... keep up the good work chaps your cars a " BOSS "

Awesome engine build built by a genius engineer this is off the scale stuff!!

Garden hose for fuel lines? Lol...Great vid, Thanks for sharing.

why does the NHRA have rules about placement of the sparkplugs?

music killed this video!

I got away from cars when I went to university and just lost interest but man alive I remember the old shift kit. I have really cool memories of the Firebird. Yeah what a nice car you guys have here.

Nice video, I love the engine building videos. Good stuff !

10:36 releasing the entire load of the nut can be terrible for head.............. I'm such a child

According to the DSM guys this is possible with just about any 90's Mitsubishi eclipse...

I wasn't going to watch this,but I watch a little bit of it all the way to the End lol !! Great Video learned alot TYVM Guys !!!!!!!!

SUWEEEEEET! I saw on one of your other vids on this car you said the hardest part was all the INTERNET HATE ON YOU.... MAN, let the Haters Hate & ignore them, they're just jealous. As for me, I'd like to say how much I appreciate you sharing your dream with the rest of us, so we who can't experience the dream for ourselves, can SHARE YOUR DREAM with YOU. I love it, truly a labor of LOVE & I LOVE YOU MAN!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA! What a BITCHIN RIDE :-) Truly a work of Art & a Labour of Love...

The one thing I still wonder. Why would you still use pushrods when DOHC can support higher rpm and less wear?

Did I just see someone squirt oil in the hole where the ARP rod bolts go? You don't get an accurate torque reading like that. You are also suppose to de burr everything before you hot tank a block, otherwise there is material everywhere.

Very nice man, aprreciat the video and the explanations, Cheers from Brazil!

Learned a lot by watching this video! Thanks guys!

Total car porn I don,t think a smoke will doo might need a cigar.LOL everyone thinks they can build a motor with shelf parts they should spend a life learning these details to perfection. Hats off and thank you ,maybe some day I can afford to try.First I need to buy/make a lot more tools. How often does it come apart to check wear? I'm guessing every tank of fuel.

Beautiful engine but I must say I was cringing big time when they were deburring at 6:20 the push rod openings in the block on a partially assembled engine potentially dropping aluminum shavings down into the lifter valley and cylinders.

Keep up the good work guys

AMAZING CONTENT also loved thecomputer/desk area you have in the shop woodwork is a+ thanks for this!

Street Engine sure... This damn thing will always be more hours in the repair/build than driving on the streets.

Way too much effort. I'd rather have 450hp that I don't have to rebuild every 6 months.

Great video. Liked the production a lot

I never understood how engines without air filter can have the longevity :) Impressive engine, great job guys!

thank you for the video I appreciate the time and work into your video.

Thankyou for sharing this!

That is one gorgeous engine, when you flipped it over on the stand @17:44, I got the first view of it with the rocker covers on. I'm going to subscribe to your channel, I'll be watching it regularly now.

Beautiful! Belleza de motor!

Absolutely awesome !!

Thanks for the step by step.. starting mine tomorrow..

An 80.000 dollar engine cigar's and a valiant, Priceless!

Building engines by experience not by the book👍🏽🇺🇸I LOVE IT
