hey man thanks for the info..I change the plugs , oil filter and am gonna try starting it up soon.. I need a battery thats all...I will let you know how it goes.. thnx.. and for the dumb fools out there, aint nothing wrong starting a motor without water in it.. theese big blocks can handle it for a little while.. it aint one of those rice racers motors.. this is the big boys.. 455...
@drummerboyLK 7.5 liters and they produce between 250-340hp that year.. depends on what car it came out of, if its a 2 or 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust..
@beeterolds hey buddy I have a olds 455 been sitting in my garage for about 2 years..I took it out of a running delta 88. I need to start it on the ground and make sure it is still running before I put it on my project which am about to do soon. Can you guide me through on how you started the motor on the ground.. Thanks for the info you can send me a message with the info if you like ...
@crafttom41 are you fucking stupid!! dont comment on my video unless you know what the fuck your talking about you stupid cocksucker.. my engine is FULL of water.. i filled it before i ran it.. you CAN also run an engine for a short period of time without water.. why dont you figure out whats going on before you comment on my page you dumbshit
@crafttom41 hey dumbfuck.. you can run an engine for a short period of time without water in it. You obvioulsy dont know your ass from a hole in the ground.
Wow, I've never seen ANYONE start an engine on one of those stands. That's gotta be the craziest thing I've ever seen. Thumbs up for having the guts to do that lol. And it sounds pretty damn good man.
@Ph0enyx1978 it aint no thing.. did u notice i had the cherry picker harnessed to the engine as well for added protection? theres no freaking way i would have started it without it. no way
@nin3tailedf0x uhmm id just go with a 454 or a 427 having a chevy then having a engine that says olds or Pontiac all over it would be a little ridiculous
@beeterolds the parts are basically the same price as a 350 small block all your paying is for 25 extra dollars dont belive me go look at summit.com and a 455 is around the same price as a 454
@cobraopts7 i live 2miles from summit.. im there almost everyday... the 455 is actually cheaper to build than a 454 in street trim... however if your going all out and expecting an asshole load of power thats where the expenses set in.. cause now you have to have custom parts made for the Olds that will withstand a lot of power whereas the chevys parts are mainly off the shelf
@beeterolds would you pick a 455 olds with harder parts to find or a 454 with easier parts to find and if your putting it in a vintage impala or a custom chevy impala wouldn't you want a engine thats made by chevy
@cobraopts7 i believe a chevy should remain chevy and olds should remain olds... I have a harder time finding BBC parts for a decent price than olds.. i picked up this motor complete..from carb to pan running for 250.. tell me where you can find a bbc running for that cheap
@cobraopts7 no im not confused at all.. they are all rather pricey because of the simple fact that everyone wants them for their cars.. it all boils down to you gotta pay if you wanna play... id like to see someone put together a BBC for cheap.. there was a local guy near me trying to sell a 78 454 for 800 with 2 spun bearings... im like your out of your freaking mind
the casting numbers are on that raised area above the water pump just below the intake manifold... or just look for big letter next to the number 1 cylinder.. a letter indicates the big block a number indicates the small block.
Nice job on your build. Not a little worried about running it like that on your stand? At first I thought it would flip on you. No doubt you had that under control. Again, great job.
thanks! ive run engines on stands before.. but NOT a big block, hence i have the cherry picker attached with tension on the chains.. i wanted to run the engine before i put it in my car, ya know to sorta check for leaks and possibly knocks.. thanks again for the nice comment!
Well the engine i had in the car prior to this one was a 350 Olds, turns out the machine shop didnt set up the pistons and pins properly and a few knocked, i found that out after i installed it! so ya i wanted to run this one to be sure it would be alright and so far so good!
Great idea checking it out before dropping it in. I had a buddy drop an engine into his race car. Found that it had low oil pressure after it warmed up. Big job to pull it out and put it back again.
