[planedestroyer94]

WWWWHHHHAAAATTTTT????????

[UprightsRule895]

That is one badass Bowtie!

[iroc464]

oooh lala. lopeing revs!

[go4broke92]

is that noise in the beginning the fuel pump?

i only ask because i hear it all the time from mud trucks at the bogs and always wonder what it is, i have an electronic fuel pump on my blazer and its so quiet, maybe mines just not so high end haha

[ACHEESEDANISH00]

@go4broke92 no its the door it makes that sound when the key is foreword and the door is open its just letting you know the door is open it does the same thing on my firebird

[2stage90]

You need a 110 LSA or above to keep the power brakes to be safe.

[steele454]

My power brakes aren't 100%, but they work once the booster gets pulled down. In normal driving it isn't really noticable. If i'm parallel parking or something where the engine is idleing and I'm useing the brakes a lot, they get a little hard to push, but they still stop the truck fine. The amount of lift has no direct affect on vacuume. The specs that do affect vacuume are duration and lobe center angle. I'm going to send you an email becaus i only have 39 characters left to use. make that 3.

[ACHEESEDANISH00]

that could eat any honda

[tranz15]

love the sound of open headers just wish my firebird sounded that good

[BigHairyManBeast]

can you say open headers?

[lundsay]

fuck, for a second there was was a honda screaming by at first not the fuel pump. NICE!!! 2 thumbs up from ottawa canada!

[Ry4nH4m1ll]

[carramrod423]

Sounds Sweet

[steele454]

what are the rpm's supposed to do between revs?

[the5445]

lol

[Talo1056]

sounds like the rpms are dying inbetween revs

[danielkabuto]

lol.

[chevy3434]

Loud ass fuel pump.

[terr0rwolf]

Man, this sounds awesome!!

[Chevypower265]

Near the end of the video it looks like a Trifive in the background. Is it?

[steele454]

Close. It's actually a '51 Henry J, or at least the makings of one.

[Chevypower265]

Sorry it took me a while to reply, those Henry Js are getting harder and harder to find, last one I seen had a 454 in it...lol. IT was purple actually. Good luck with yours!

[silviobigblock]

Wow, eso es música para mis oidos, suena la raja.

[steele454]

Me alegro usted disfrutó de ello mi amigo

[mrfish1991]

[Chevypower265]

Davidsfarm fan? lol.

[mrfish1991]

Hell ya im a daves farm fan...thats quality stuff

and remember, never abuse alcohol, put it in a cup holder

[Chevypower265]

Hell yeah! never abuse the alcohol! Remember, at Daves farm, the cars are free the beer is cheap, so abuse the cars and not the Alcohol!

[Talo1056]

loudest truck ive ever heard

[steele454]

Yeah it's pretty loud. Even with mufflers on (allbeit 3inch one chamber race mufflers) it still makes my ears ring if I drive it for any length of time.

[abney20]

why are you reving up your engine like that on a 20 degree day????????????

[steele454]

so you can enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[isaiah213]

true chevy power i love it

[mikajop51]

beastcake!! love it. Now that is how you make little kids cry

[steele454]

i've never dyno'd it, but I've seen similar engines in the upper 400's range. If I had to guess I'd say 480 with a good tune on a good day.

[dodgedude101]

nice sounding engine what does it make for power?

[hioctane33]

sounds great

[steele454]

I set up the carb during the summer and this was filmed on a 20 degree day. I don't ever drive it in the winter so i'm not to concerned with it's idle quality. Once it warms up it smooths out pretty nicely.

[axeman7000]

Damn, I have 2 large studio speakers hooked up to my PC and a Subwoofer. My ol' Lady screamed at me and told me to shut my 67 Chevelle off before the neighbors complained...lmao. Sounds like it's not getting enough fuel.....or the idle is real low.

[k30chevypickupman]

i what 454 for my truck

[steele454]

When I bought it I had to tow it home on a rope. It had no engine or tranny. I actually built the engine that is in it. It came out of another truck I had that I bought for $850. It was a 1975 454 with pretty low miles. it as bored .030 and rebuilt with dome pistons. It has a lunati flat-tappet cam, comp 3/8 pushrods, harland sharp rockers and crane cams springs. The intake was used. Briefly adding it up in my head it has cost me a little under 2,500 for everything including carb & headers.

[steele454]

I have one clip of it in action right now. It took place several years ago at a drag strip and it was with a smaller cam, smaller headers, a stock torque converter and street tires and it busted the case of my th400 in half duing the run. It's really a joke. It only runs a 14.4 at like 96 mph so I'm sort of embarraced to post it, but what the heck...

[kuulkatdadieo]

Please give me some driving videos. PLEASE!

[TownHick]

that was awesome!!!! nice sound.

[steele454]

Right on brotha! I'm glad I was able to help you out with that.

[redw1nd]

after listening to ricers, this literally sent shivers down my spine, god american cars are the best in the world

[08rtaylo]

damn that sounds sweet

[CDiesel101]

sounds damn good open headers is the only way to go

[steele454]

what are you waiting for? You'll need at least 230 degrees of duration at .050 and 110 or less lobe separation. It takes quite a bit of cam to get a 454 to lope. then you'll need to bump up the compression because it will be a turd if you don't. My brother in-law has a 454 with 221/233 and 115 lobe seperation and it still idles like a sewing machine. You could always just pull a few plug wires off.

[SiliconSlick69]

pulling plug wires off is the best way to make a car sound gnarly, a friend did it to his (free) 80something civic wagon and it sounded like a top fueller

[fortclarke1]

wat do you mean "pulling plug wires off"

[SiliconSlick69]

disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs.

[DeathByGravityBlast]

godamn i love choppy idles...i want my 454 bbc to sound like that one day...its just stock with straight pipes and no cat...one day though

[VDZRIDER]

that is the sound of god my friend lol

[steele454]

Thanks! but I would say it sounds more like satan, especialy when it hits around 6 grand. The exhaust note alone has made small children cry out of fright on more than one occasion, and I almost cry everytime I look at the ugly thing.

[moose9c1]

What the HELL do you have the fuel pump mounted to? MAN them electric holley pumps are LOUD.

[steele454]

It's mounted to the frame rail without the little insulating pad. It does kida sound like drilling through drywall with an auger bit, but I like it cuz I can tell when the fuel pump dies or when I run out of gas.

[chris11213]

i have the same fuel pump in a 71 cutlass and it sounds just like this i also like how its lud so u can tell if its running

[icefireblue]

wow what compression is it running?

[steele454]

10.55:1 - 33cc dome pistons, 115cc chambers, 4.28" bore, 4" stroke, and .039" X 4.37" head gasket. I didn't actually measure the deck height, but i'm guessing around .030".

[offroad88]

Can you run pump gas with it? Sweet truck man!

[steele454]

Yeah, it cranks around 210 psi and it pings with 89. I keep the timing at 32 total and it will live on 91. I often throw a few gallons of 110 in it, mostly for the smell.

[79camaro454bbc]

nice what is it in?

[steele454]

It's a '77 GMC 2wd shortbox. With a th400, 2500 stall, and 4.11 posi 12-bolt. The body is shot. There is rust in everthing except the hood and the roof. Come to Lincoln, NE on June 10 for power tour and you can see it in all its unsightly glory!

[streetboss6993]

lol. if the truck is a piece of crap then you should put that motor in that camaro.lol

[steele454]

The thought has crossed my mind, but it's not that kind of camaro, if you know what I mean. I feel 1990 IROC 350's should stay 1990 IROC 350's. As far as the truck, I can't afford fast and pretty, so I opted for fast. If I loose it shifting into 3rd and take out a guard rail who cares, right?

[streetboss6993]

lol. yea i geuss so. its still nice though

[454blazer]

nice!

[steele454]

actually the truck is a piece of crap, but it's a hoot to drive.

[steele454]

Yes it's a bracket master II hydraulic flat-tappet.
