I sure hope one of you guys can post the link for the second episode for those of us that don't get the channel?
Thanks
Jim

Ol' Ron thanks for the heads-up, and Ronnie, thanks for the link!

That got my blood flowing! Can't wait for the next episode. I think I'll go back and watch some of the other shows until then.

I don't think it aired yet, might need Walt's help, or ran out of money.

I enjoyed Part 2, probably wouldn't have done it the way they did, but it was a good build with reasonable results. First honest Dyno run I've eer seen on live TV.

Just got done watching it. Very realistic numbers. I didn't hear any rpm numbers.

jack orchard · 07-06-2014, 04:35 PM

I wish they would have spent just a little time on tuning (jets, power valves ,etc). I guess this is why they chose to run all 3 carbs with straight linkage. It would have been nice to have a 3x2 with progressive linkage for the street with a vacuum advance distributor (like Bubba builds). But then, they would have to open the new carbs and look into power valve and jet tuning. Like they said - put them on right out of the box. As said above, some RPM numbers would be nice, too. Cam used was Isky Max-1. I realize they are in the business of selling parts for their sponsors -like Summit, Edelbrock, Isky, ARP, and the others. I guess this build was better than no build. Many viewers got to see a classic engine they maybe never knew existed. But they never even got to hear the classic drive-in idle. Sad. O well, good luck to all.,...jack

Whats the internet address for part 2 thanks john

I tuned in Powernation this morning on SpikeTV and lo and behold was part 2. Scat rotating assembly 4-1/4 stroke, I think. H-beam connecting rods. All buttoned up and dyno run too.

Makes me wish I had television

Hey Ron!! I noticed they put on a fluid Harmonic balancer on,What are your thoughts on them? Good,Bad,Not worth the extra money(400.00). Thanks Pete

Ol' Ron · 07-10-2014, 02:58 PM

I user a SBC 6" and bore it to a snug fit. Then install a timing tape. Junk yards are full of pulleys that bolt to these, but you have to make a wide belt one. Some of the GM Harmonis balancers have a serpintine belt pully and I use that on my 280 econo engine.

Part 2 will be available tomorrow July 13 on website.

WOW Just watched on Power Nation, what a beautiful build of course it should be look at all the talent they had. I learn something every time I watch something like that.
