A couple of videos of my two cars idling...they sound very different but they both sound good in their own right. This post is for you Rob, bust out the surround sound and let me know if I got the camera settings right



And if you got 'em, post 'em up

 

nice nice !!! what mufflers are you running? I have a 3" flowmaster 40 series with 2 1/2" pipe ran to it from the collector. I'll have to make a vid =P They both sound awesome, music to my ears!!

 

Nothing like the sound of a big block olds in the morning! !!

 

Steve, you have done it again. Awesome work! Now we can all get 455 fever...

 

I wanna hear the Honda accord that's parked in back!

 

Ones old and ones fairly new. I need one with more action. I'll have to try the drive over the camera version.

 

The blue car has WZ manifolds, 2 1/2" Pypes downpipes, flowmaster 2 1/2" h-pipe kit through flowmaster 40 series mufflers.

The silver car has Doug Thorley 1 7/8" primary headers w/ 3" collectors running through 3" pipes to 3" flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers dumped in front of the axle.

I don't even own a car without one now and I'm already itching to build another. Geez...I need to get one soon

You couldn't hear it in the video? Trust me, it was running lol!

 

Car sounds good Dan!

 

Thanks for the info =) after i fight with these spark plugs i'll see if i can't make a video for comparison lol

 

Start a similar thread titled Small Block Sound lol! Then we'll have both and guys can post whatever they have in either thread...that'd be cool!

 

I know there are some great sounding BBO's out there...let's hear them fella's! We're getting upstaged by the SBO thread!

 

I'm going out on a limb here, and hope you don't lynch me right off the bat, but I don't have any Big Block Olds videos. However, here's one video of one of my 454-powered cars (Edelbrock Performer cam and intake, Pete Jackson geardrive, Dynomax headers, Flowmaster dual chamber mufflers):

Great day, guys! You've got some killer rides! Thanks for sharing.

 

Not bad! It sounds strong...I mean, as strong as it can for a Chubby motor lol!

 

LOL... I'm glad nobody has strung me up for posting a Chubby.

 

my camera wont allow me to capture the sound correctly......its all distorted =0 maybe i need to record from like 20 feet away so you guys will be able to clearly hear the motor and not the distorted sound of it making it seem like total garbage. ='( what camera you guys recording with?

-Brandon

 

I've been using a Nikon D90 SLR with video function. But it also has problems getting a clear image up close, not focusing on the car, etc. The sound is good, however. Good luck with your picture-taking....we want to hear your engine!

TK I love it! That thing is so cool...I love the rat rod feel of it!

 

Thanks. Dont fall too hard in love, I started taking it apart this week.

 

Boy! Jasen (TK) and AH 64 I can't figure out what you guys are better at----downloading stuff on the computer or making Oldsmobiles (BBO) look and sound good. I'm jealous (a little) of both of you in both categories. I responded to the small-block thread hoping to get someone to help post the video of my '69 W-31---maybe on of you two "GENIUSES" could/would do it for me on that thread.
I do have a 455 "U" code '72 442 but don't have any videos or sounds to enter here. Somewhere on CO I posted some pics (don't really know how I pulled that off) of it, but no sound.
Both of you guys have two GREAT cars and should be very proud of them. GREAT JOB!!!

 

I posted it on there for you Thanks for the complements! I also posted on your youtube video, I'd like to get some suspension advice from you one of these days...that car bounces like it's on a trampoline, I love it!

 

Steve (AH 64) check your PM.

 

here is my big block sound boys 2 vids

Nice videos from all. Regarding that Honda, isn't it just a spare starter for the silver car?

 

AH said this needed to be here. A little BB Olds at night. 2nd gear pulls. Cool stuff. The 1st part of the vid (in the day) is a small block. The nightime part is with the 455. Kind of neat to hear the difference. There's not much, but it is there.

 

Bad cell phone Video of the 455 in my 57 Olds

Very nice fella's! Keep 'em coming!

 

Here is a quick video I took of my 70 cutlass supreme race car.

 

I know there are more 455's out there, where are they? If we get enough videos I might just make a montage! Wouldn't that be cool

 

Here's one from when I got her running right a few months ago.

Very nice! That engine compartment is filthy! lol!

 

I know it should of looked like this! ;-)

If yer posting motor pics........

 

After reading all your posts and watching clips...I came across these two:



Maybe I should do that with my 98...OK, maybe not. Cream puffs don't do burn outs (too often).

 

Hey Steve, finally got around to hooking the computer up to the big system!
Your cars sound great, I like the rollover shot! However, the mic in your camera is not picking up the deepest rumble that I know it has. Typical of smaller cams, many mics just lack full frequency pickup.

Now THIS one that was linked to one of yours shook the walls (and myself!) and has some great dynamics; I have doubts that the recording was with really done with a phone...
That 98 is insane! He was whipping many other cars on the track!
When I have the windows open this fall I am gonna crank this one up to see how many neighbors we can get outside looking for the action!! I just wish the cameraman kept his mouth shut during the burnout...
I love it....

 

Here's a 68 442 that started me on my path last year to searching for a Cutlass ,I just happened to see it randomly on You Tube and kept playing it over and over !!lol

 

 

Here is a short video of mine.

 

Here are a couple of mine. Thought it might be alittle different showing these instead of the driveway.

 

With some big valve C heads, some boring, decking, milling, pistons, yadayadayada.., even a once tame '73 can be awakened.
