HOW TO BUILD BIG BLOCK CHEVYS-468 VS 496 (WHAT'S IT WORTH?)

The amount of research and time you’ve spent on these videos is insane. They are literally a bench mark for anyone who’s seeking to build any v8 engine at this point and you should have over 1,000,000 subscribers.

Finally big block stuff 😁👍

What makes a big block so deadly is that power curve! Having that kind of torque on tap that long is brutal.

You can finally answer the question "Which combo will give good torque?" Answer in the case of BBC: "Yes."

It's like you know what I'm thinking about. I wish my wife understood me like you do.

As always,I’m jealous you get to play with this for a living And inform people like me Thank you

The 496 Stroker is the Big Block version of the SB 383 Stroker. Its magic is more power everywhere and in a stock block saving us thousands of dollars. Thumbs UP!

I have been waiting for this episode! Big blocks rock the world!

Just got a gen 4 496 from my dad that’s been already machined and such. Now to find some heads and get this bad boy going. Thank you for all the good info

Wow best comparo ever I have this same bottom end but with 781 ovals makes 600hp 610lb/ft

I still watch this video from time to time... Thank you! If i had a dyno, I'd probably never go to the track. 😂

For someone that has almost no idea what all this stuff is it was incredibly easy to understand. Thank you

I'd like to see power vs. Money comparison. There's alot of us that don't have the $ for a stroker kit, unless it's really worth it.

I have a friend who wants to build a BBC either 427, 454 or a 496. This video clears up a lot of confusion. Well presented. Thank you.

Was spinning the center crank bearings with cast crank 468 twice! Scat 496 crank solved the bearing problem! Broke a oil pump shaft/saw the 0 oil pressure. Shut it off threw the traps. No damage. Got real lucky with the Scat steel. 496 more streatable too!

We built a long rod 468 13.1 with Canfield 310s, Sniper Jr intake, 1150 dominator. I forget the cam specs but it was .748 lift on a 112.. in a 3650 lb car ran 8 90 with a 200 shot. 468s can definitely make power if there pieced together right.

So I have the mark iv style that I daily drive in my 78 c30. Thank you for posting the info helps with my plan to rebuild and modernize the big block.modern heads and a modern grind cam will go a long way.

Beyond words to describe Richards sick attention to details, mind you that compliment comes from a Virgo which rarely compliment underimpressive preople.Any potential question is already answered.Thank you for giving us the knowledge how to build our own cheap junkyard versions into almost a good crate engine from assembly shops which are 5 figures nowadays for a good 454, given a better set of bearings, maybe rods. 😉

Just stumbled on this video while looking around to see which direction I’ll be building my 454. You made me decide on a 496 stroker. I’ve got a ‘66 Chevelle SS that has the matching block in it, runs great but I want a hot rod toying around engine that I won’t be worried about if I crack the block for some reason. I wanted to go all out with aftermarket bigger heads and etc but I still wanted to keep my stock hood with bigger heads and high rise intake, I wouldn’t have the clearance. To be able to get 600hp from the stroker 496 and stock ported heads is what made up my mind. I can keep my factory hood but still make north of 575 hp. Thanks for all the info!

Richard your Awesome you and Engine Masters are my engine shows. I’ve seen you on there as well. And we all know You can never see to many dyno tests !!! Please keep up the awesome work
