David Vizard / Uncle Tony...Small block Infos ?

[ValerianMagnum]

Hi guys , yup ! As a younger gear head...i watch lots of videos , infos that i didnt have 10-15 years ago when i started in the hobby, i love watching Utg 's Bottle rocket and i discovered David Vizard with all the mission impossible thing : I just dont understand how bottle Rocket's 318 runs so well without oil pressure at idle = revs like a chainsaw and his" happy being that loose "...( that 318 looks very healthy and i was very surprised ) + are DV 's tips really working? For the who saw the 318 videos , grinding the 318 rods to lighten them , cut this, cut that, lighter Ls parts in the "M,I, 318" ...its just a lot of infos and mods . I really understand the basics and had a lot of small blocks during the last 2 decades ( always had same mods : Cam / springs / headers / intake etc...but this internal knowledges is confuses me and if its all true and honest , i would love to know more and learn this stuff . * I know lots of guys dont like Uncle Tony , but i enjoy learning about mopar small block mods / carb stuff etc, Having all these infos available and not secured in a Area 51 top secret room is very fun , in the 2000s as a young curious kid , All the old guys had the knowledge and it was very hard to learn the good stuff or very pricey + it was all top secret and nobody wanted to give their tips.

Well, this should be "polarizing..."

And some people are calling me an instigator

You think bottle rockets 318 runs "so well"?? That's a joke right?

I haven’t polished a set of rods in 35 years back before all the Chinese parts showed up.

Miracles have happened..

None of those DV "speed secrets" were actually done to the MI318. That project has gotten shoved off to yet ANOTHER internet guru, and I'll be suprised if it ever gets actually built.

 

[fishmens67]

Where does Nick fit into this.
318wilrun has it all on them, his stuff is good. Save your clicks for his channel you'll learn allot more.

 

[fishmens67]

it was all top secret and nobody wanted to give their tips.

I take it you don't know how to read, it's all out there on paper has been for over 50 years. lol

 

[ValerianMagnum]

I love Tim ( 318willrun ) hes great, just was wondering about all the internal tricks...i was wondering if it was all good.

I mean..it started bad , but when he did his race with Andy , it was still very strong for a 318, its not a 408 or a crate engine etc , theres not 15k shoved into it, my most reliable engine ever owned is my 400 hp mopar 360 crate engine , beat the hell out of it since 2005 ( i bought it in 2008 ) and it still goes very strong, i would love to do a similar 400hp engine with my 5x 318s laying around , but wanna learn some engine hp tricks

I don't know exactly which tricks your talking about, but in the 50-80/90's there wasn't much for aftermarket parts for average guy's especially heads, hp was hard to come by, and all those little things done to stock parts added up, do 10-20+ 3-10 hp mods adds up, but with the aftermarket now there's so much low hanging fruit out there.

The basic 400 hp recipe is heads that flow around 225 ish cfm, 235 ish cam 10-10,5:1 cr 650/750 carb headers and airgap, better flowing heads needs less cam and worse flowing heads needs more cam.

 

[crackedback]

Make sure you knurl the pistons for extra HP... LMAO what a fricken idiot!

Nick and phony tony never get a click on youtube except by accident.

Very strong for a 318? Are you serious? Its literally one of the poorest running 318 engines ever built for "racing" it is a garbage re-ring special, with a $1000 roller cam setup on nitrous, with a custom build converter in a car that weighs less than 3k lbs, and it ran high 7s...(ONCE) it's a JOKE

Unkle phony and DataVoid channels are clickbait bullshit to make money off of people who are easily impressed by fluff and bullshit.

 

[NC Engine Builder]

The only channel you mentioned that's worth watching is @318willrun

 

[273]

I'd also recommend watching Richard Holdener's channel

Richard Holdener

Here's is his NA dodge playlist but it's all worth watching no matter the make and engines.

Hi.. learning is a good thing... i want to know how everything works... BUT.. i am saying this nicely.. consider UTG as "Entertainment"... the guy went drag racing with a car with bad front end bushings and it was a mess.... the 318 they sent up to nicks (won't talk bout that guy) had bearings which i think it were over 4-5 times what you want for clearance... and oddly it self destructed...

Even this week he posted a video about why piston knurling is a thing... and was wrong as usual....

Not shitting on anyone.. just... don't trust every one

P.S. about DV... he has a ton of actual science backing up his ****... i used his formula to pick my current cam in my 318 and the thing runs damn good.. my next cam will be a jones cam... and i will have jones spec it for me.. when picking a cam talk to the actual cam experts (as i should have)

 

[junkyardhero]

i would love to do a similar 400hp engine with my 5x 318s laying around , but wanna learn some engine hp tricks

you wanna learn some HP tricks?

trick #1 open up your wallet and melt a credit card for the best damn heads you can

trick #2 don't over cam it.

that's it. that's all the tricks.

in fact, you can probably disregard trick #2 if you have enough carb and gear and don't really care how it runs on the street.

400hp 318... i've built it. twice. you'll be happier with a 325~350hp 318 and have more money for dancing girls and the ca-cain than with a bragging rights number that you have to wring its neck to just touch 400.

thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Always thought it was crazy putting all that labor, grinding and balancing to make 645 Rods "light rods".

DV doesn't know Mopars.

Could have easily located the '68, '69 factory free floating light rods to fit the bill. No grinding or rebalancing required.

They really are much lighter than the later 1974 645 rods.

'68 318 ^^^ with the free floating light rods. Runs out like a champ.
