Super big torque 743 hp SB Chevy build.

In this, episode 53 of PowerTec 10, DV teams up with retired ProStocker Terry Walters and Dyno Tuner Jack Sain and the result can best be described as spectacular! With torque per cube figures exceeding at least 99.9% of other YouTube builds you are sure to find this build, done with off the shelf parts, well worth watching.

I ordered $5000 worth of parts for my 5.7 vortec build and the very next day I discovered this channel. Needless to say i was able to refund almost all of my parts before they shipped haha.

This is the man who got me to build my first small block chevy! With a book!

Hello sir. I am an engine tuner, on Austin Mini and other English cars, my workshop is in the south of France. it is thanks to you and your book that I was able to learn my trade. thank you sir.

David, I've always liked the 421 ci small block chevy engine, this is very impressive, my engine builder here in Colorado built me one with rons porting 18 degree heads, hogan's sheet metal intake, twin Holley Dominators, obviously not a street engine, but it made 840hp, 680lb ft torque 20 years ago, he is now deceased, I know there are much better cylinder heads out today, im looking to build another 421 engine, hopefully clip the 900hp mark with a single Dominator, wish me luck

[MARKSLETTERMAN]

You are a genius sir! Thank you so much for the intelligence you have shared with us common folk!

[dinadaughtry]

A big block Mopar recipe would be much appreciated, and thanks for your time and effort to bring us great information

[MrDlc]

I learn more from this Gentleman than any other thank you Sir

I remember the days of finding every little trick in the book to make a n a engine perform. Angle cutting heads, head porting, milling, spark plug indexing, bigger exhaust, stepped race headers, tunnel rams, carb mods, gapless rings, more compression, hi octane gas, intake manifold porting. Truck blocks, cadillac 500s in camaros.

Then all that changed when forced induction became cheap with used turbos, diesal superchargers etc. We made power undreamed of. 800 to 1250 hp now became fairly easy. This other n a mods take loads of, skill, effort and time.

The legend has spoken!I know a good bit but wish I knew half of what he knows.I see all these LS swaps and hellcat motors where they rebuild the motor anyway then fight with computers and tuning and all that garbage and I'm still a firm believer in the sbc strokers matched with the right cam heads intake carb ignition system etc.I believe one of his carburated motors will blow all that trash off the track all day long.Im not worried about building a race engine for the street, I don't race on the street, drop that little 421 in s10 or a Monza or something with a good two speed power glide and some 3.73s or 4.11s and get it to hook up and I'd race hellcats title for title anytime they wanted to!

Terry Walters Racing Engines rocks! I live in Roanoke Va and I take them all my machine work. He has two of my engines currently and has previously worked on at least 3 other engines. Terry and Jack did a turn key, 385 sbc build for me a few years ago. It made 480hp with factory cast block and double hump heads with a 2x4 tunnel ram using 450cfm holleys. I'm currently running it in my 72 pro street Vega. Scat steel crank, Icon pistons, Comp Cams mechanical, flat tappet .555 lift cam. Great people!

I can not thank you, Andy, and the rest of your team enough for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!

[danielhehir]

Thank you David! I can't wait to build the 443 torque monster from your small block Chevy on a budget book!

[Redshedcycle]

Watching you makes me realize I know nothing about building an engine. I’m still watching with intent and hoping things start clicking soon. Thank you for the spread of knowledge

[deankay]

Great job David! This touches on the possibilities of a total build using DV's science and the right builder. This is exciting!

I built an engine long time ago off bits and pieces of info from your books. The result was amazing, that 327 was a powerful especially on a budget .

[WesternReloader]

Thanks David for the invaluable content. I successfully built my first engine (10.2:1 SBF 332 ) never dynoed it but I know it’s good. Next build I’m planning a 427 Windsor. Looking forward to all your knowledge to implement in my build.

[keithbrooks]

Your videos are like a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much.👍

Fantastic Dave.. I've been an avid reader of ALL your books for past 30 years and have applied things learned to real world application. In fact.. I'm the guy that did the powder work on the AED carb that is on the cover of your Budget BBC book. Keep up the great vids Mr Vizard! God Bless.
