O.k if I understand this right that motor in the video made 400/409 with Edelbrock heads, a Victor, a big Holley and a solid roller?

Quite frankly that sucks.

coppercutlass

i think he is talking about his w 31 engine . not the one in the proformance unlimited vid.

cutlassefi

Gotcha, good thing.

This is a VERYYY short clip of my buddie Scott Pierce's (former owner) 1969 W-31 4 speed. Stock intake, carb & exhaust manifolds. Nasty cam in this....

StickW31

This in my 1970 Cutlass W-31 4-speed. Stock W-31 engine, cam, & exhaust. A bit blurry but the sound is decent.

I know it's a small block...I'm just kidding with you. But you know, with as many cubes it could be posted in the Big Block sound thread also lol!

Nick, I was looking at the other vids of your car on Youtube.. was the 2000 rpm launch taken at Earlville?

380 Racer

Yes...... and it still was pulling 1.30 sixtys . Actually a 1.257 on the foot brake.

Cool.. I thought i recognized the rocks behind the staging lanes. I was just down there about a month ago to watch my buddy Sean race his Dart.. nice track. You gonna be there for the Wally race? I'd love to see your car run.

380 Racer

First off, you have a nice looking car! We probably will only race one more time this year and that will be at Cedar Falls Sept 29-30. When is their Wally race?

nofiveo

Thanks for the compliments on the car.. that pic was taken the day we brought it home. It's in primer now waiting for paint and the new motor. It looks like the Wally race will be the 23rd of this month. We are planning on heading down to watch. It's a nice get away from the daily grind.

380 Racer

Good stuff!

This motor is going in my newly acquired '70 442 until I can get my act together and have my 455 built. The last 5-7 seconds will make you cringe, sorry. I gotta work on my cooling.

Here is another 'let's go for a ride' video. This time I had two camera's rolling and I spliced them together. I sped up the super boring 50kph in a 70kph zones. This is a beautiful drive that shows off some of the coastline of Nova Scotia. Set back, click the 720p resolution, turn it up and enjoy. Music is by Rick White's bands Elevator To Hell, Elevator Through and Elevator. Great driving tunes.

71 OLDS

Headers and exhaust are on but still has the baby cam in there:

oldzzy

Sounds pretty good, but what does it sound like out back? BTW i just got my headers from Smitty, and they look sweet!

71 OLDS

Good suggestion Shane. Sounds much better from the back. Especially with a cold start up before it's fully warmed up at the lower RPM. Actually a little lope with the small 204/214 cam. Once it's warmed up and the idle is up a little it smooths out if I'm being honest.



Good luck with your headers. I'm real happy with how mine turned out an installed.

dancutlass

Here is my little 330...sounds better in reality
Seff, I hope you don't mind me stealing your idea, driving over the camera

ah64pilot

You know, I see a video of an engine on a dyno and I don't see any numbers posted? What the heck is up with that? Uh hem! JOE?!?

coppercutlass

I'll have one to post soon getting ready to fire up my 355.

oldzzy

Hopefully after I get a trans I can get my motor in and fire it up for ya lol

joesw31

The dyno numbers on in post # 48 of this thread.

joesw31

Nice!

ah64pilot

Oh! This post! I see...well thanks for sharing! What C.I. is a .060 350 again? Is it 360 C.I.?

nj_cutlass72

so whats the secret ingredient? headers? cam? carb? or all?

OldSchoolMuscle71

Just got the headers installed on my 71 350. At the exhaust shop now getting an H pipe, magnaflows, and 3 inch magnaflow tips Hopefully i can just make a video on my phone and upload it through e-mail.. should sound pretty good. I drove it to the exhaust shop yesterday with open headers. Every red light people were scared lol

joesw31

There is no secret ingredient. Just good machine work, attention to detail, high compression, good flat tappet cam, little head work, and a good engine builder.
And Steve that is correct it is a 360 C.U.I. And the max torque occurred at 4,200 RPM.

OldSchoolMuscle71

whats the next step i should take after exhaust? will an rpm and quadrajet give me a little more umph? Instead of going pertronix should I just buy a new set of points and reset dwell and timing? suggestions?

coppercutlass

been messing with my dad's car which has my old olds 350 in it. it ran high 13's in my 72 and it makes this boat scoot pretty good for a car with a 2.xx rear end gear.
