Resurrected Beast - Classic 1968 Dodge 440 Dyno Tested

Alright guys, don't forget to like, share and subscribe, and don't forget to hit the bell, but then guys, subscribe, let's go. Thank you very much, it's another busy week in Nick's garage, the shop is full of good stuff and there's a big 440 on the

dyno

waiting to come back to life we've rebuilt the engine for a Mike with that 68 Coronet that's the engine with it we found the damaged bolt inside the chamber with the piston oh my god there's a bolt all the way right you've got to be kidding me you've got to be kidding me Mike you broke the piston oh my god I took the engine we took it apart Everything, as you noticed in the previous video, there was damage to the piston in the chamber, so what we did was replace 88 parts, eight connecting rods replaced with eagle rods, eight flat-top pistons, we checked the crankshaft, It was very solid, we cut it to less than 10 on the sides, we balanced it and then we have to build this engine with casting. iron heads that are the 452 castings that are good for unleaded fuel so I didn't pour them with 214 intake valves and then I had a train up to 81 CCS and that block is xx tau that kite with a 39 gasket and I'm ready to take a test run with your cast iron exhaust manifolds and intake.

I also painted it Brut turquoise as he was in 1/16, he wanted me to do the color as it came from the factory, so now. we're going into camp so we're going to do the initial start right now and I'm going to use my carburetor to get into campus. I know it works and then I have your old man's block for the gut, which is here, so in case it doesn't work properly, I don't want to take any chances and for that reason we put my carburetor in as a complement to the cover Mike, this is your Reggie, here it is on a

dyno

so I can't wait to get started and see how it goes and I hope to get the four horsepower like we sell it we have done it with the mule engine so you have a copy of the same age and adults to my.

Kowalski so here it is and I also replaced the suede covers that you didn't like that came with your edges so I got an original set of 68 original Chrysler factory cars both cars and here they are there are a lot of viewers that were interested. In this teardown of this on coronet 6440, we also had a lot of new subscribers because of this, so here we are freshly built with new pistons with Eagle rods. Catherine II takes exhaust manifolds 1.5 stock stamped steel rocker arms and we are ready to do a test since we are using the same intake manifold that I ran the flashlight through the intake manifold to make sure there are no bolts stuck in the interior, but suddenly I want to have the same problem he had, so I'm sure there are no bolts on this one anymore. and we had to do a little modification with the exhaust air because my pipes are made for semi-trucks, the exhaust manifolds are difficult to angle this way, but in this case we are using the same pipe, so we are going to come out with a couple from parts, it's strange but it will still work and I have my O2 sensor for fuel to ground ratio on the other side and we will do our tests with it and everything is fine, we will install the original air filter. and do a back to back test with the stock air filter that came with the car, that's going to be excited, I've never used one of these on the dyno so I can't wait, so let's navigate, engine runs, everything it is going well.

I'm going to do some testing yes 4.3 53.7 50 I can't wait to finish this car. I sure could use the space in the garage. sharpen your pencils. engine building students. It's time for Knicks tricks when they build a factory engine with exhaust manifolds. At the factory, when the engine was assembled, they were not using an exhaust manifold gasket in the head, so of course Nowadays, due to the age of the manifolds, this is bound to leak, so in this case we fit an exhaust manifold gasket. I always used them and the best part is that you don't see them, if you look you don't see the bridge, that's how the joint comes, so I have a trick, what I do is I cut this piece here and this piece here and then I put the joint and it seems that it comes from the factory without joints, of course, not many builders know that that is one of my tricks and right there you can hardly see them, but there it is.

It sure isn't going to leak and it looks like it's from the factory and I've noticed that a lot of people in engine building put it like this, we take a salt collector, it sure does the job, but you know what you don't have for the factory. this part here next time you go to the car show, if you see one of my engines, look when it has exhaust manifolds with gaskets, it's there but you don't see it, it's one of Nick's tricks here in Nick's garage , we are ready? and you know, this is the way the factory built the engine, they had the exhaust manifolds on the engine and they were painted with the engine and then when they do an initial start, you'll see the models turn dark black or gray or whatever and that's factory so we're going to start and you guys are going to see this right now so we're going to start revving at 2000 RPM for 20 minutes to get the cam set up and at the same time we're We're going to check the timing and of course you guys will see the paint burn off on the exhaust model and it's also breaking it or it's done.

Here we go, we have a way to censor the fuel pump ignition, pump it up and here we go. ready let's see how it goes when i run it, went into one at RPM for 20 minutes, there's the initial Bridget in the cap shop, when you have a friend, you hit the laptop and give him water, you have to start over immediately and keep it there. So you know where the oil comes out at half past ten with the sink in, breakdown oil, that's a while before we put it in the car, when I put it so far so good, we didn't have any leaks at the rear seal , so keep it firmly in so away and of course I put a little high performance camshaft hydraulic flat tappet on it and I got a little more lift and it has a little more life on the factory cap but also designed it to have enough full-power Viking brakes, so I got the The car is equipped with a power ratio.

I have to get away from camp for him. What type of camera is it? I don't want to say it's because sometimes I start building engines now. I want to keep them a secret, just like the top engine of the best racing teams. Builders like Nick have many well-kept secrets learned over a lifetime of ripping. Nik still loves sharing knowledge and teaching new mechanics, but some things are kept between his clients and himself. The halftime game went very well. We joined you two here for 20 minutes of 2200 OPM, 2000 rpm or whatever, so now I'm just going to do some small tests to adjust my order, also to break into rings at full speed or full throttle, since They were going to set the time to be sure. when Mike is over 35 degrees to start and after that we'll do a couple dozen 750 Honey for the title launch and after that we'll go with this 750 elbow block to live with his car because that's Twitch.

The Quran and its beginning with this car beater and then at the end we will demonstrate that it is an original 68 air filter, which is something unique that I have never tried before because this is an air filter that does not have a double snorkel like my orky challenger. this is the only opening that you can see here this is the only opening that you have so much power that you lose with this I don't know what we're going to do a tester back to back we'll figure it out and we'll take it there you're ready here we're going to go to 54 we're going to do a test from 2400 rpm to 5400 rpm so that it goes well 389 no, we have not reached the 400 market Oh, let's work a little.

They're not there yet, they're still hitting the 400 market, gimme, just turn off the water right now. I'm trying to get to 400 with this, probably her, we're not doing very well, what's going on, we're 37 degrees, that's funny, same camera as you. You know what, let's make it a commercial test, what do you say? Well, they are ported. The reported impact is reported with the 214 intake valves, turn it off 400 very easy, why don't we understand it? It was that you did a compression test, you know what? close the water pump Vasily, let's check one, let's check one of them 175 okay, we should do it, man, it should be good, you know where to pull with your 180 with all eight plugs out, okay, put them back in, come on, we got than to get 400 and these I don't know where we need the same setup it's the same setup as my mule engine except even the same camshaft maybe we need more or maybe we should back up the timing which that's right, back up, try 32 degrees, try 32, okay, here we are.

Come on, I'll start without doing anything, you have time like Vassili. The reason for taking the timeline out of the room is because I've been through a lot of timing lights over the years because I left it on the vinyl. and with the engine being so strong there are so many vibrations that it distorts them and then I have to replace them so every time I check the timing I take it out of the room we are ready, okay, let's go 31 everything ready to go 31 degrees here from here we also return horses maverick let's hit him he came out that's all what's there put him back up 37 degrees 37 34 stand here if it was the same anyway 35 36 marked it 35 yes 35 35 degrees oh forget 31° isn't going to work, we lost it with that horsepower, we're at 360, I'm well over 1000 so far, 20 doesn't matter, we'll go back to 35 degrees and start testing it again 469 towards ok. let's do it, this is the weather at 31 degrees, the guys are focusing on the sweet spot for the timing of the engines.

Now Nick wants the dial on the air-fuel ratio and for that he is going to change to the carburetor of the client we are with. I'm going to put scorpion Iran and social 750, it could be Jetta, so instead of playing with mom interracial, how the carburetor doesn't matter, let's see, yeah, because I finally want to live with his big brother's carburetor and then we'll go from there. ok come on Vasili put in rags they will need a fuel line so we don't mess up the paint job and that's it simple dribble edit aris lon we followed the parts we got her right away and she did it for me. right away, so it was pretty simple and we have the port he made, we have the drop springs, we have the cam, we cut the piston into rings, we better need to spin the Canadian rods, very simple, they found us a set of covers for Mike that you wanted to put them with the original on Sunday here they are and now we're going to turn it around with this carburetor chocolate chip cookie how about a bunch of this?

Then we will do some tests. I think this is not a very good bite of design technology

1968

this is a typical Saturday, everyone gathers in the dining room and anyway you talk about what happened during the week and here I am, I will do a dyno test and there we are those of us who raised it. We're ready, what's the weather at 35 degrees? Officially ready to go. Well, let's do a test with the older Brock carburetor. The jams come to life. Who is going to make eight? We haven't achieved it yet. He has seven eighty-seven point five forty-three to work with. the conversation, she has a better story for her rhetoric, that's good, that's good, we're heading in the right direction mmm, I mean, okay, that's when it starts to accelerate, it makes a little push, yeah, with that's what I have to take the top off the car, but if you change the Jets, Mike's tent is performing about the same as Nick's double pump with the same CFM, just needs a little boost on the secondary Jets, but Nick still doesn't get over the 400 horsepower like you did with your own 440 and you're starting to think it all comes down to the intake manifold, apparently the 1970 intake manifold that is made of Christ in the 440 mold is a much better design than the one on cast iron 68 made by Chrysler, it doesn't matter, you know what we could give it. a few hours of horsepower minus whatever, but my goal is to maximize what we have here so that Mike does our best and we achieve everything we can and here we go, we will achieve it.

I still have to do our numbers where we had 333 373 we'll start right there 373 let's do another back-to-back test here we go there we go the three of us, you know, okay, let's check your fuel ratio, turn it off, turn off the fan, turn off the water, that's you, the one getting 380 out of that Wow surprise - really surprise God and you actually made it 375 horsepower God I can't believe it rosacea of ​​mine I don't know why then the pressures 175 Should be good, the old guys should have done the job, what? You know? not all ages are 100% the same, you know what the problem is, you need a bigger intake manifold, but this intake restricts it, so you know what it is, if Mike wants me to take the whole intake manifold off, what is here I think this will be of great help after all it is a new plane the performer 440 came with another of Mike's projects in the workshop aflight comes with a letter.

Oh look at a fucking 70's and someone told me the other day that there are a lot more parties in the UK and you know what's true. I have even sold pieces. In the United Kingdom for a Mopar charger we do not have this one, it is a new flag, we are going to be fine and this is the county of Devon of England and we are going to put your name on it, let's not forget it here it is beautiful, another flank of the country of England , so you know this is my fourth county flag of England and our last F hope comes from the furthest point of our planet from here where it comes from Moscow with a long time from Russia Wow, let's see what this one has here we go, look, we arrived here, right?

Ameer, I don't know, take a look, what's his name? from a long distance and what can I say from all over the planet from all corners of the planet, now we have viewers watching the next garage from Down Under, east, west, overseas, you name it and it just doesn't end and you know what that surprises. maybe every day I come to work and then when the time comes, or FedEx UPS or DHL, they keep bringing mailboxes, envelopes from all over the world and you know it's really amazing, you don't know what's going to come through the door . day or what is going to walk through the door one day.

I get all the supply cups every day and I love it so I want to thank you. I love you all. I appreciate it like I said. I want to especially thank you all. for watching us and sending us all this stuff and you guys if you look below the video we have a ton of products you can buy so whatever you want buy it love it use it and enjoy it and help spread the word about mix garage and if you have time, take a look. on a patreon page we have extra content and you can see it and take it there and we'll see you next time.
