Dyno test of Rod Saboury's 2,200 HP small block Chevy engine

[intrnlsparkignition]

that small block is sooooo violent. love it!

[nearrageman07]

at 2200hp its not really a "small' block anymore its more like a low displacement monster

[Sharptooth100]

Maybe that 2200 hp engine should be terrific for a Stock car.

[1tuffbb6]

Rod, Please come to World Cup Finals; Imports domestics this year!! @Maryland International, Budds Creek.

[MrBowtie95]

Careful mr. tech, you might get sucked into the compressor wheel

[Procharmo]

The heads are CFE SBX Turbo's I believe and the block is a Dart block.....Similar heads to Andy Jensens SBC 5.xx second Promod except this is for a Rods street capable Corvette.

I'd love a set of these on my ride but $20,000 + for a set of heads with pistons, headers, cam, lifters and intake to match. Damn..

[psychotikpaisano]

Damn, the intercooler is ballooning from all the boost yo!

[drummerguy12005]

That, in a car? HA.

How about put that in a airplane.

[stingraystud]

that is just amazing, i am a big fan of the smallblock chevys, i tell everyone about this engine and channel that think im full of shit, how much money do you have tied up in this?

[chevythecat1]

looks like whatever fell off they got covered with t ape on the last pull

[jayguy173]

386hp per liter

[kyeakle95Z]

what fell off of it at around 4:20 ? on the top of the valve cover in the front

[gunzkillu]

nice..what car has this engine?

[shawnkrause871]

Its a 400 small block with big block heads. Ive seen the damn car in person.

[bowtieman55]

@shawnkrause871

I SERIOUSLY doubt that, lol. The heads are Dart Little Chiefs, with 8 valve cover bolts. These are the SBC version of Big Chief heads used on BBC. Regardless, there is nothing stock about this engine. Not the block, heads, NOTHING.

[shawnkrause871]

@bowtieman55 I never said the heads and the block were stock. No stock GM block could ever handle 2200 hp. I wasn't sure what make and model the heads were. I just knew that they were aftermarket pieces usually used on big blocks.

[paidmydues4life]

@bowtieman55 still the basic sbc design, but ur right. all aftermarket parts on this bad boy. i just spent 900 buck machining an 010 350 block, i could have had a dart block for 200.00 bucks more. oh well

[lewisburg66]

yes it is a small block guys look it up!!!

[steelerfreek007]

The heads look more like the sb2.2 heads. And yes that means smallblock

[dwnrety1]

this is a big block. all the exhaust ports are evenly spaced. small block is 2 close in the middle and 2 more far apart..

[Hemihart]

These are canted valve small block chevrolet heads. Not a big block

[jayguy173]

@dwnrety1 depends on the heads

[stldrgnchoppers]

lsx block can be built to most any cubic inch including a 400ci an as for rice this will easily blow poopra out the back end

[letmytechspit]

imagine if he used the lsx block with 2 45 setups on it..thatd be crazy runnin 42psi in that thing

[andy3dz]

How much will it cost to put one in my Lincoln navigator?

[lilguy574]

id guess more than the navigator...

[ezcondition]

hahaha

[slacker8314]

watch innercooler stretch fuckin wild

[dieslpower2]

what I wanna know is how much boost is he running?

[Savageowner610]

32 psi watch the whole vidddd

[19504x4]

I doubt there are any stock GM components left on that thing

[redhot916spd]

the net says it's a 400 small block, I don't know why he wouldn't have used an LSX block, maybe you have heard of those?

[allroundpower]

Maybe he wanted to keep it period correct. That billet aluminium small block is faqr stronger thsn any LSX block.

Apart from maybe a billet aluminium LSX block which I don't think has cross bolted mains!!!!

[ezcondition]

LSX block are in a big time league, and they have cross bolts.

[lewisburg66]

@redhot916spd he built that motor a while ago long before they came out with the LSX blocks

[redhot916spd]

ah , thank you, it's bad ass

[1355550]

@redhot916spd

LSx blcok isnt going to handle that kind of power.

Is this the Rod S former Hot Rod magazing feature writer?

[redhot916spd]

@1355550 they advertise they were engineered to 2500 hp

[casey69901]

what are those big hair dryer things?? lol

[reizduk]

ARE TALKING ABOUT THE TURBO's !?!

[32ROCKET32]

I need this in my vann or my buick, now! lol

[gordonshart]

what kind of cyl. heads are on it the engine? It looks like a bbc.

[lt1fan94]

All aluminum SMALL BLOCK. and its 2400 with a mild cam, low spring pressures and a tight ring pack. Thats a street motor.

[casey69901]

its an ls small block

[iceman5X75]

@gordonshart it has dart heads on them they're a smaller version of the big chief heads for big blocks but those versions are called little chiefs, its true just look on dart machinerys website

[redoctober2008]

would LOVE to see what he could do with an all-alluminum Shaffiroff big block.

[earlten]

There are reasons he's going that with a small block. :)

[jgib85]

dude that is one sick ass engine

[midias12]

This thing is awesome Fuck supras

[xZZxTakedown]

Whoever downed midias12's comment is obviously a retarded ricer. A Supra would get its rice steamed by Saboury's Vette.

Yes, I called a Supra rice. Whatcha gonna do about it?

[toolfan58]

turbos. forgot the s.

[toolfan58]

Sounds like a goddam jet engine when the turbo spools up! Nice.
