@mekall57 I'm glad to hear that you're a fellow enthusiast. It seems that a lot of people have forgotten what true American muscle and the great V8 engine growl is all about. There's just nothing like it.
@my454transam It's a Lunati solid roller cam with 268/271 dur@.050 and .705"/.708" lift at the valves with a 1.7:1 rocker ratio. In this video I had it idling at 900 RPM
@tommyboy8984 Gee Tommy, that's real advanced psychology you're using there. Real classy. Why don't you just make a joke about my mother while you're at it,. Or maybe you might have demonstrated a little more maturity by asking me why the wiring is that way, and then I would've explained to you that I just had it wired up that day temporarily merely to fire up the engine for the first time. Even the gages were laying there in the engine bay TEMPORARILY so i can watch the vitals.
@tommyboy8984 maybe if you had actually ever built a car yourself, you would've known for yourself that there comes a day after dropping the engine in when you have to rig up some temporary wiring just for that initial start up, and then you wouldn't have put your foot in your mount by voicing such an ignorant comment. But you obviously never built and restored an entire car by yourself like i have. Now run along and continue to live your fantasy life in your car magazines
@GorillaWriter LOL....sometimes I lose patience with small minded ignorant people who are also arrogant. But thanks for the comment. yep, old school power all the way!
@mean70632 There always seems to be one... especially on youtube. We all deal with them differently. You got it man, no prob. Im building a 66 GTO so i know all about oldschool power. ha. Keep em alive my friend.
@NoExpression Nothing illegal here my friend. I'm just a middle aged guy who has been blessed with a very well paying manufacturing job. That's what we need to come back in this country....well paying blue collar manufacturing jobs. You can blame our politicians for the lack of that. Screw going to colladge for 5 or 6 years striaght and then not even being able to find a well paying job after you're done with all that hard school work, and then in most cases even having school loan
@weiandblower This has been years in the making. When you build something like this in your home garage, it isn't like those shows on TV where they put something together in a few weeks time with a team of top notch professionals all working on the same car all at once. I hope to have some vids of it on the street this summer, but understand that this isn't my only hobby either. Nor is it my only fast car for that matter.Thanks for your kind words and for your enthusiasm.
awww man im fucking drooling...that thing is fucking wicked bro. I truly truly envy you. Good job on that beast, that'd show them pussy ass ricer drivers
@nthngrunslikeadeere If you look close right at the about the 59 second mark, you'll see underneath the car the reflection of a breif flame front coming out of one of the header collectors.
@Coldkill1233 I have a TCI TH400 trans in it, but please don't think that it's one of their run of the mill "streetfighter" this or "streeightfighter" that transmissions. It's one of their competition models which has a Vasco 300 hardened input shaft, modified front drum with a 34 element sprag, Kolene steels & Red Eagle clutches, and a full manaul valvebody with a reverse shift pattern and a transbrake too. I also have one of their "PRO-X" torque converters with 6 mounting legs
@steven21042 I chose an aftermarket Dana 60 rear from Strange Enginnering with 35 spline axles. As you probably already know, it uses the 9.75: diameter ring gear so between that and the 35 spline axles, with their 1.5" diameter, it will take quite a beating. I also have 1350 series solid U-joints and a chromemoly driveshaft and 5/8" diameter rear wheel studs.
@techguyreview one of the biggest available, and certainly the biggest that will possibly fit underneath the factory stock cowl induction hood. And it was challenging for me to fit it under the hood. That's with a 3.5" tall air cleaner element and a custom made 2" drop base.
@mean70632 Biggest one available!? Then you should check out "Sonny's Racing" 1000 CU V8 Big Block! 2200 HP, 1600 TQ, and that's all motor. No turbo, or supercharger. Other than that...Your ride is beautiful man. 1970 had a great body style. Can't wait till it's finished.
@jdog942 Thanks for the compliment, and let me point out to you that I said "one of the biigest available", and not THE biggest one. And I'm very famaliar with Sonny's engines, they're incredible, but those engines won't even come close to fitting in any factory stock car with a factory stock hood. Not even close. that's why I also stated in my post that a 632 CID engine with the tall deck block is the biigest that you're gonna fit underneath the stock hood
@klsnr1 at the track, they're not as good as Hoosier drag radials, and ofcourse not as good as slicks either, but are sure a whole lot better than standard radial tires. And on the street, they're better than standard readials, but you have to drive real slow in the rain
@tatengue107 no. The only thing that the 632 and 572 engines share is the fact that both of them are built with a tall deck block, although a 572 can also be built with a standard deck height block too. But the 632 engine must be built with a tall deck height block, and it has both a larger stroke as well as a larger bore than the 572 engine does. The 632 has a 4.75" stroke and a 4.600" which is the longest stroke that can be used with a 10.2" tall deck block, and very close to the biggest bore
@tatengue107 thanks, but I haven't taken it to the track yet. There's still work to be done to it before I can do that. But it should run high 9's since it isn't a maximum effort 632 engine. If it were a max effort, it would run low 9's easy. But I've made some compromises to make the car a little more street friendly since I do plan to drive it atleast one day each week in the warm months.
@TheCanadianDippers nope, just 800 HP, but on just 93 octane pump gas alone. Thisis a crate engine. Go to websites Shaffiroff engines if you want to get an idea of the cost, but if and when you're ready to spend your money, don't get a crate engine made by a place that mass produces them. Go to Mike Lewis of Lewis Racing engines. He's on the web, look it up. He pays real close attention to every single engine he builds, andhe's been doing it for a long time and he has customers all over the USA
@mean70632 ok thanks for the tip i want a nice engine like this when im older im only 15 right now so i got a lot of time but this is on my bucketlist
@matthew702917 the Dominator carb dumps so much gas in there, it's like flushing a toilet when you stab the throttle!!!! And the engine just revs instantly and says "Give me more"
@matthew702917 thanks. That was exactly my goal: to build a modified car while still allowing it to look somehwat stock as far as the body parts go. I do't have timeslips yet. Because I had to make performance compromises to welcome street driving, I'm merely expecting ET's in the high 9's with 1.3 second 60 foot times.
@mean70632 she'll be quick, ya i know what you mean. I had to make some compromises for my 67 mustang resto mod too. Anything above 800 hp starts to get damgerous on the street. Did you have to tub those wheel wells?
@matthew702917 No wheel tubbs. I didn't want that. I have P315/60/15 drag radials on there. I had the body place roll back the rear fenderlips as much as possible, and I ordered the aftermarket rear wheels with custom back spacing to fit the tires in there. The rear wheels are 15x10" wide with a 5.5" backspacing which is the maximum that can be used on 70-72 Chevelle. It puts the inner side walls of the tire within 3/4" of the outter frame rail wall. I also had to cut off the fenderlips
@matthew702917 Yes, it's pretty tight. The rear suspension is on the stiff side though, and I've installed a very stiff 1 3/8" diameter solid bolt-in rear anti-roll bar which doesn't allow any body roll. The tires will allow 2.5" of downward rear suspension compression before the middle of the outter sidewalls have any possibility to make contact with the fenders so I should be ok. With the 5.5" backspacing on the rear wheels, I could just use P295/65/15 tires that are 1 inch narrower.
@Suzukikatana6 the compression ratio is 10.5:1 it's a pump gas engine. It only sees 93 octane pump gas. And that's all it wil ever be fed. If I wanted to build a race gas version of this engine, I could've easily got another 100 hp out of it. But 800 HP on pump gas is enough for me. :D
nice car man. my dad had a 68ss when he was 15, and when he turned 16 he got a 70ss 396. sold it a few years later for a 79 z28. sold it to a guy that about killed himself in it the next nigh. some people just cant handle power. but im14 and have an 84 c10 were planning on building.
@Mr84chvy Thanks for the kind words. And yes you're right that some people cannot handle the power, but that's mostly because they don't respect the power under the hood, and they overlook the fact that this power is NOT going to respect you. In one of Clint Eastwood's movies in the 70's(Magnum Force) in which he played the character "Dirt Harry" he had a line that he said to himself all through the movie"A man's got to know his limitations" and that is true when behind the wheel of a fast car.
@crash25016 LOL...You're joking with that question, right? If you aren't joking then you must not be very famaliar with, nor have any experience with big aggressive camshafts in hi-performance V8 engines at all.
@crash25016 I'll bet that this engine with it's choppy idle has better volumetric efficiency throughout it's entire RPM range than most any car with a smooth idle.
looking at cars like this and hearing them is such a healing to the soul of an american,the wonderful heritage of our country at a strong point.....thank you for building and and keeping it going...........hats of to you bro!!!!
@lluwd Thankyou. I really appreciate your viewpoint on that. It's because of that same viewpoint that I've kept the body of this car looking factory stock with the one minor exception being that I trimmed the underside of the rear fender lips back in order to fit the widest tires possible. But that isn't even anything that can be seen without having to lay on the ground and looking up inside there. The drivetrain & suspension have been heavily modified for the power level but the body is stock.
@anglesteel thanks. Here's some more numbers for you: 632 cubes= 10.3 Liters, and it includes a 4.600" cylinder bore with a 4.75" stroke. It's a pump gas engine with just a 10.5:1 compression ratio and the peak hp is 800@5,900 RPM with a peak torque of 775 FT/LBS @4,000 RPM and it develops 715 FT/LBS by merely 3,000 RPM.
@mean70632 Interesting how the power numbers all worked out to exactly multiples of 5, eh? :)
I'm just messing with you. It's amazing what we can make now with modern cylinder head design. It wasn't that long ago that ~500HP was a huge amount, and you couldn't realistically drive something making over 600. But today I'm building a "cheap" engine which should make 550HP for my work truck, and you're over 800 in a fairly streetable car. Science is cool. :)
@dannysauer I was just rounding off the numbers.The actual HP number for instance was something like 803. And yes, today's power outputs are incredible, but make no mistake about it, this engine is NOT hi tech at all. The only thing that can be considered modern about this engine build is the tall deck block height which enables really big displacement due to the huge bore and stroke of 4.6" and 4.75" and with that much displacement, big power numbers will follow. The solid roller cam helps too.
@mean70632 I know - that's the crazy thing. Even today's "run of the mill" heads and cam profiles can make what was considered crazy power just a few years ago.
@dannysauer I hear ya. The camshaft I have is pretty hairy by street car standards. It has a .708" lift at the valves with a 268/270 degree duration@.050 but that also goes back to the displacement. Because a cam of this size is pretty intense for a 454 CID engine, but is really moderate and even run of the mill for an engine as big as a 632 inch one. In fact, even with the 110 LSA of this cam and the 268/270 dur@.050 spec, I can let it idle at merely 900 RPM like in this vid without is stalling
@timtoothmanracing I hope to find out soon. It isn't a maximum effort engine though. If it were, I'd easily be running in the 8's as long as I get it to hook, but I'll be content with high 9's seeing is how the 800 hp peak only occurs at 5,900 RPM with the cam I have in it. It's just a pump gas motor.
@Rickjames214 The crate motor was built by a plce called World castings, but they don't deal directly with the public anymore. it's just as well though, because thier customer service is one of the worst I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. If you want a great crate engine built to your specs, give Mike Lewis a call at Lewis racing engines. he builds both racing and hi-perf street engines, and he pays real close attention to every single build. he's in California, but ships everywhere
@TropicalConfederate thanks. Actually the badging is 454 but obviously it's still a whole lot more than 454 CID. LOL. I have 3.5" diameter exhaust that goes over the axles and out to the rear bumper from a place on the net called Torque Tech, but in this video i was runing it with open headers. Trust me, it was sure a whole lot luder than the video reveals.
@heymynameistyler LOL yeah, it would be my daily driver too if i could afford the gas to drive it every day. But that just isn't reality for anyone but millionaires.
@Kinkryder8 sorry, but I haven't got it on the road yet. been getting side tracked lately with installing a supercharger in my daily driver. But I'll be done with that work by next week, and then I can resume finishing up this car, so I can get it on the road finally.
@Kinkryder8 I dunno. Haven't had it on the road yet. benn getting side tracked with my other car (daily driver) which I just finished installing a supercharger on. Gotta get back to working on the Chevelle
@heymynameistyler sorry, it's still not finished yet. So close, yet so far. Right now I've been getting side tracked with the supercharger installation on my Pontiac GTO. But that should only take another week.
@MetalGuitarist1991 Your 4L60E trans has to be electonic if it's from the factory. The only way that it wouldn't be is if it's a racing piece that has had a full manual valvebody in it which would require you to shift it manually. The 4L60E trans can be built to handle your power level, so you should be good with taking that to a place where they know what they're doing. You'll rally need to know the exact camshaft specs in order to get the stall speed RPM correct on the torque converter.
@MetalGuitarist1991 ...(continued)... if you don't get the stall speed RPM correctly matched to your camshaft specs, the car will move like a slug and you won't be pleased with it's performance at all. Any reputable torque converter purchase will require you to either fill out a vehicle spec sheet and fax it to the retailer, or asnwer vehicle spec questions over the phone. Don't pick a generic converter which doesn't require that you do that. With that trans you'll need a Lock-up type converter
@MetalGuitarist1991 for a lock-up type model you can also go to converterDOTcom which is Precision Industries and they have their Vigilante converter for GM cars. They make pretty good ones but you might have to spend $800 however I had one of theirs and they're great! Withan overdrive trans you can easily use 4.10 rear gear ratio and still only be reving at about 2500 RPM on the highway at 70 MPH while in O/D but there again, you'll need to know the camshaft specs first. What is the DUR@050?
its a 1990 Caddilac Fleetwood Brogham D'Elegance, people told me its not worth the money but to each his own, it has the 4L60 but its not electronic from what ive been told, in my car it was built right after they stopped putting 700R4 in them, so im not sure if its elctronic or not. and i was planning on spending at least $500 -$600 on the stall, and i know a local business that a lot of hot rodders i know goto to have the trans built, how about gear ratio? i want more torque to the ground?
@MetalGuitarist1991 I'm going to assume that you're wanting an automatic trans since you didn't specify, but correct me on that if you're wantinga manual trans. I'm also not sure what year that Caddy is, and so I don't know if the trans mounting point of some model transmissions are going to be where you need them to be in order to use the factory Caddy transmission crossmember. You may have to take some meaurements of various transmissions to figure that out. I have to write this in 2 parts...
@MetalGuitarist1991 part 2... you'll need to decide whether you want a trans with an overdrive gear, or one without it. It's going to depend on how much money you want to spend, and exactly what will be your intended use for that Caddy. If you want to use it as your daily driver, you'll probably want an overdrive, and usually O/D transmissions cost a little more. I like TH400 which don't have an O/D and the 4L80E trans which is pretty much a TH400 with an O/D. Both are durable. Part 3 coming....
@MetalGuitarist1991 ...part 3....but you might have extra challenges on your hands fitting the 4L80E trans in there since they're slightly larger as far as I know. And at the 450 HP level that you're at, a 4L60E would be plenty durable enough, which is pretty much a TH350 trans with an O/D. And if you don't plan in this car being a daily driver and you don't need an O/D then you can also use a TH350 trans since that too would be durable enough at your power level unless you plan in drag racing.
@MetalGuitarist1991 ...part 4 LOL... both the TH350 and the 4L60E are slightly smaller than the TH400 and the 4L80E are and will fit easier. You just need to find out if modifications would have to be done to your existing trnas crossmember in order to mount them. I'm not sure what year your Caddy is, nor what transmission it came with. If it's a late 80's Caddy, then it might have come with a 4L60E and you can just have it rebuilt in a performance transmission shop.
@MetalGuitarist1991 Part 5.... both the 4L60E and the 4L80E as well as any auto transmissions with an O/D gear need to be used with a computer to sheft them with. Places like Phoenix Transmissions and others sell the transmissions with O/D gears that are built to take higher power levels, and they also sell the electronic units needed to shift the electronic O/D in those transmissions too. Go to PhoenixtransDOTcom
@MetalGuitarist1991 part 6.... if you use an automatic trans in a hi-perf car which has a larger than factory stock camshaft, then it's very important what torque converter you use. Don't skimp on the torque converter! If you do, you won't be pleased with the car's performance in the longrun. Be willing to spend atleast $400+ dollars. In fact the least expensive torque converter that I can recommend is a piece from ATI Racing which can be purchased through summitRacingDOTcom for $437
@MetalGuitarist1991 Part 7.... do NOT even bother with those "Holeshot" this or "Holeshot" that crappy converters. Those cheap pieces will get you by for a little while if you're lucky, but they will exhibit excessive slippage percentage at full throttle above the stall speed RPM. They're not efficient converters. You ony get what you pay for when it comes to torque converters. Make sure that you match the stall speed RPM to the camshaft specs you have.
The guy i got it from said he had it ground to a 214 INT and a 233 EXH, with a 112 degree lobe @.050 , i bought it from an older guy that used to build engines for guys but didnt know much bout trannys he had it ground at a machine shop that sadly went out of business.
@MetalGuitarist1991 Wel if those specs on the cam are correct, then that's a fairly mild camshaft for a 454 engine so you won't be getting lot;s of power above 5,000 RPM and therefore you wouldn't want 4.10 gears in the rear. You would be much better off with a 3.73 rear gear ratio. Abd your stall speed RPM would be best around 2,000 to 2,500 RPM for the torque converter. That engine should have lots of torque down low in the RPM scale. The car is likely going to spin the tires pretty easy.
I have a question about what trans and gear ratio you would suggest? Im finishing my 454 for my Caddilac im converting it from its TBI 350 to a carburerated 454 and ive been told a lot on trans and gears but none of them have anything with a BBC in it. Thank You.
@davejoshmom1 I appreciate your enthusiasm. A 350 motor and a 632 are quite different. Other than the power differences between the two, you have to consider the operating costs. This engine that I have in this car is only going to get about 4 MPG. A 350 engine when properly tuned even with a carburetor can be made to give you 15 MPG and even 20 MPG with fuel injection. But you really will need to keep in mind what your intended use of the car wil be. Go to chevellesDOTcom and click on forums
@davejoshmom1 add to that about $2300 for a trans, $3400 for a rear, atleast $700 for a torque converter, and you begin to get the picture of the costs involved. Are you interested in building an old Chevelle?
@davejoshmom1 that's a good price. Horsepower costs money. It's a matter of how fast you want to go, and how deep your pockets are. The engine expense isn't the whole picture either. For instance, you can't just throw 800 HP under the hood, and expect that the rest of the drivetrain is going to take all of that power any longer than a month or two without being destroyed. You then need to spend more money on a beefed up suspension, transmission, torque converter, and rear end too.
just to add, if anyoe really wants to embark on such a car project and wonders about how much they will need to accomplish it, they can go ahead and price out parts for themselves just like I did before pulling the trigger on such a project. If you want to know where to get parts from, I'll help you with such info. If you want an idea of prices on paint and bodywork, I'll tell you what I paid for the labor on things like that, but there's no real need for you to know how much I've spent overall
@davejoshmom1 no offense to you intended here, but I just get sick of guys who really were never into any old muscle car restorations themselves, nor into drag racing, throw a question at me like that about how much I have into this project. Sure, you might be different than those others asking that, but most of them are just plain jealous or too cheap to put any coin into a car project, and often it's really because their domineering wives won't let them. So I don't often disclose that
@davejoshmom1 First, let me say thankyou for the compliment on the car. Second, let me say that I didn't mean to come across as being cocky, but yes, I do get a bit defensive about that question you've asked, because every single guy who has asked me that same question (and it hasn't been most, but I get a lot of guys asking that) it has been guys who have never restored and old muscle car, and who will likely never restore one, and they just want to be jealous or be critical.
@boredinmemind I know exactly what power level I'm at as far as flywheel horsepower goes. it's 800 HP @5,900 RPM, and 775 FT/LBS torque @4,000 RPM. It will likely be about 670 HP at the rear wheels.
@GolfVariantCL With a car like this, does it really matter? The only way to get big power and good gas mileage, is with forced induction and fuel injection together. Niether of which this car has. I built this car to do two things primarily: Look good, and do wheelies about 80 feet off the starting line at the dragstrip with 9 second ET's , with a little street cruising thrown in one day out of the week.. Show me a 3700+ LB car that does 80' long wheelstands with good gas mileage.
@byronbja I'm an aircraft mechanic, and I've been at that job for the past 31 years. But trust me, this project has been a reach for me financially speaking. I don't earn six figures a year.
Just feed that good ole america chevy a honda or two every morning with a nissan sandwich for lunch and a some toyo-chops for dinner and itll grow up just like this.

What kind of transmission are you using in the car with that 850+ HP engine.
Coldkill1233 3 weeks ago
@Coldkill1233 I have a TCI TH400 trans in it, but please don't think that it's one of their run of the mill "streetfighter" this or "streeightfighter" that transmissions. It's one of their competition models which has a Vasco 300 hardened input shaft, modified front drum with a 34 element sprag, Kolene steels & Red Eagle clutches, and a full manaul valvebody with a reverse shift pattern and a transbrake too. I also have one of their "PRO-X" torque converters with 6 mounting legs

steven21042 3 weeks ago
@steven21042 I chose an aftermarket Dana 60 rear from Strange Enginnering with 35 spline axles. As you probably already know, it uses the 9.75: diameter ring gear so between that and the 35 spline axles, with their 1.5" diameter, it will take quite a beating. I also have 1350 series solid U-joints and a chromemoly driveshaft and 5/8" diameter rear wheel studs.

@tatengue107 no. The only thing that the 632 and 572 engines share is the fact that both of them are built with a tall deck block, although a 572 can also be built with a standard deck height block too. But the 632 engine must be built with a tall deck height block, and it has both a larger stroke as well as a larger bore than the 572 engine does. The 632 has a 4.75" stroke and a 4.600" which is the longest stroke that can be used with a 10.2" tall deck block, and very close to the biggest bore

@matthew702917 No wheel tubbs. I didn't want that. I have P315/60/15 drag radials on there. I had the body place roll back the rear fenderlips as much as possible, and I ordered the aftermarket rear wheels with custom back spacing to fit the tires in there. The rear wheels are 15x10" wide with a 5.5" backspacing which is the maximum that can be used on 70-72 Chevelle. It puts the inner side walls of the tire within 3/4" of the outter frame rail wall. I also had to cut off the fenderlips

@mean70632 wow thats a tight fit.
matthew702917 1 month ago
@matthew702917 Yes, it's pretty tight. The rear suspension is on the stiff side though, and I've installed a very stiff 1 3/8" diameter solid bolt-in rear anti-roll bar which doesn't allow any body roll. The tires will allow 2.5" of downward rear suspension compression before the middle of the outter sidewalls have any possibility to make contact with the fenders so I should be ok. With the 5.5" backspacing on the rear wheels, I could just use P295/65/15 tires that are 1 inch narrower.

mean70632 2 months ago
@mean70632 Interesting how the power numbers all worked out to exactly multiples of 5, eh? :)
I'm just messing with you. It's amazing what we can make now with modern cylinder head design. It wasn't that long ago that ~500HP was a huge amount, and you couldn't realistically drive something making over 600. But today I'm building a "cheap" engine which should make 550HP for my work truck, and you're over 800 in a fairly streetable car. Science is cool. :)
dannysauer 2 months ago
@dannysauer I was just rounding off the numbers.The actual HP number for instance was something like 803. And yes, today's power outputs are incredible, but make no mistake about it, this engine is NOT hi tech at all. The only thing that can be considered modern about this engine build is the tall deck block height which enables really big displacement due to the huge bore and stroke of 4.6" and 4.75" and with that much displacement, big power numbers will follow. The solid roller cam helps too.
mean70632 2 months ago
@mean70632 I know - that's the crazy thing. Even today's "run of the mill" heads and cam profiles can make what was considered crazy power just a few years ago.
dannysauer 2 months ago
@dannysauer I hear ya. The camshaft I have is pretty hairy by street car standards. It has a .708" lift at the valves with a 268/270 degree duration@.050 but that also goes back to the displacement. Because a cam of this size is pretty intense for a 454 CID engine, but is really moderate and even run of the mill for an engine as big as a 632 inch one. In fact, even with the 110 LSA of this cam and the 268/270 dur@.050 spec, I can let it idle at merely 900 RPM like in this vid without is stalling

MetalGuitarist1991 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 Your 4L60E trans has to be electonic if it's from the factory. The only way that it wouldn't be is if it's a racing piece that has had a full manual valvebody in it which would require you to shift it manually. The 4L60E trans can be built to handle your power level, so you should be good with taking that to a place where they know what they're doing. You'll rally need to know the exact camshaft specs in order to get the stall speed RPM correct on the torque converter.
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 ...(continued)... if you don't get the stall speed RPM correctly matched to your camshaft specs, the car will move like a slug and you won't be pleased with it's performance at all. Any reputable torque converter purchase will require you to either fill out a vehicle spec sheet and fax it to the retailer, or asnwer vehicle spec questions over the phone. Don't pick a generic converter which doesn't require that you do that. With that trans you'll need a Lock-up type converter
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 for a lock-up type model you can also go to converterDOTcom which is Precision Industries and they have their Vigilante converter for GM cars. They make pretty good ones but you might have to spend $800 however I had one of theirs and they're great! Withan overdrive trans you can easily use 4.10 rear gear ratio and still only be reving at about 2500 RPM on the highway at 70 MPH while in O/D but there again, you'll need to know the camshaft specs first. What is the DUR@050?

MetalGuitarist1991 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 I'm going to assume that you're wanting an automatic trans since you didn't specify, but correct me on that if you're wantinga manual trans. I'm also not sure what year that Caddy is, and so I don't know if the trans mounting point of some model transmissions are going to be where you need them to be in order to use the factory Caddy transmission crossmember. You may have to take some meaurements of various transmissions to figure that out. I have to write this in 2 parts...
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 part 2... you'll need to decide whether you want a trans with an overdrive gear, or one without it. It's going to depend on how much money you want to spend, and exactly what will be your intended use for that Caddy. If you want to use it as your daily driver, you'll probably want an overdrive, and usually O/D transmissions cost a little more. I like TH400 which don't have an O/D and the 4L80E trans which is pretty much a TH400 with an O/D. Both are durable. Part 3 coming....
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 ...part 3....but you might have extra challenges on your hands fitting the 4L80E trans in there since they're slightly larger as far as I know. And at the 450 HP level that you're at, a 4L60E would be plenty durable enough, which is pretty much a TH350 trans with an O/D. And if you don't plan in this car being a daily driver and you don't need an O/D then you can also use a TH350 trans since that too would be durable enough at your power level unless you plan in drag racing.
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 ...part 4 LOL... both the TH350 and the 4L60E are slightly smaller than the TH400 and the 4L80E are and will fit easier. You just need to find out if modifications would have to be done to your existing trnas crossmember in order to mount them. I'm not sure what year your Caddy is, nor what transmission it came with. If it's a late 80's Caddy, then it might have come with a 4L60E and you can just have it rebuilt in a performance transmission shop.
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 Part 5.... both the 4L60E and the 4L80E as well as any auto transmissions with an O/D gear need to be used with a computer to sheft them with. Places like Phoenix Transmissions and others sell the transmissions with O/D gears that are built to take higher power levels, and they also sell the electronic units needed to shift the electronic O/D in those transmissions too. Go to PhoenixtransDOTcom
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 part 6.... if you use an automatic trans in a hi-perf car which has a larger than factory stock camshaft, then it's very important what torque converter you use. Don't skimp on the torque converter! If you do, you won't be pleased with the car's performance in the longrun. Be willing to spend atleast $400+ dollars. In fact the least expensive torque converter that I can recommend is a piece from ATI Racing which can be purchased through summitRacingDOTcom for $437
mean70632 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 Part 7.... do NOT even bother with those "Holeshot" this or "Holeshot" that crappy converters. Those cheap pieces will get you by for a little while if you're lucky, but they will exhibit excessive slippage percentage at full throttle above the stall speed RPM. They're not efficient converters. You ony get what you pay for when it comes to torque converters. Make sure that you match the stall speed RPM to the camshaft specs you have.

MetalGuitarist1991 5 months ago
@MetalGuitarist1991 Wel if those specs on the cam are correct, then that's a fairly mild camshaft for a 454 engine so you won't be getting lot;s of power above 5,000 RPM and therefore you wouldn't want 4.10 gears in the rear. You would be much better off with a 3.73 rear gear ratio. Abd your stall speed RPM would be best around 2,000 to 2,500 RPM for the torque converter. That engine should have lots of torque down low in the RPM scale. The car is likely going to spin the tires pretty easy.
mean70632 5 months ago
I have a question about what trans and gear ratio you would suggest? Im finishing my 454 for my Caddilac im converting it from its TBI 350 to a carburerated 454 and ive been told a lot on trans and gears but none of them have anything with a BBC in it. Thank You.
MetalGuitarist1991 5 months ago
@davejoshmom1 yes it would be.
mean70632 5 months ago
@davejoshmom1 I appreciate your enthusiasm. A 350 motor and a 632 are quite different. Other than the power differences between the two, you have to consider the operating costs. This engine that I have in this car is only going to get about 4 MPG. A 350 engine when properly tuned even with a carburetor can be made to give you 15 MPG and even 20 MPG with fuel injection. But you really will need to keep in mind what your intended use of the car wil be. Go to chevellesDOTcom and click on forums
mean70632 5 months ago
@davejoshmom1 add to that about $2300 for a trans, $3400 for a rear, atleast $700 for a torque converter, and you begin to get the picture of the costs involved. Are you interested in building an old Chevelle?
mean70632 5 months ago
@davejoshmom1 that's a good price. Horsepower costs money. It's a matter of how fast you want to go, and how deep your pockets are. The engine expense isn't the whole picture either. For instance, you can't just throw 800 HP under the hood, and expect that the rest of the drivetrain is going to take all of that power any longer than a month or two without being destroyed. You then need to spend more money on a beefed up suspension, transmission, torque converter, and rear end too.
mean70632 5 months ago
just to add, if anyoe really wants to embark on such a car project and wonders about how much they will need to accomplish it, they can go ahead and price out parts for themselves just like I did before pulling the trigger on such a project. If you want to know where to get parts from, I'll help you with such info.

@boredinmemind I know exactly what power level I'm at as far as flywheel horsepower goes. it's 800 HP @5,900 RPM, and 775 FT/LBS torque @4,000 RPM. It will likely be about 670 HP at the rear wheels.

@GolfVariantCL With a car like this, does it really matter? The only way to get big power and good gas mileage, is with forced induction and fuel injection together. Niether of which this car has. I built this car to do two things primarily: Look good, and do wheelies about 80 feet off the starting line at the dragstrip with 9 second ET's , with a little street cruising thrown in one day out of the week.. Show me a 3700+ LB car that does 80' long wheelstands with good gas mileage.

All is I can tell you about that is, with some things, if you want them bad enough, you can find a way to make it happen.

@byronbja I'm an aircraft mechanic, and I've been at that job for the past 31 years. But trust me, this project has been a reach for me financially speaking. I don't earn six figures a year.
