engine stand startup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got her running briefly before the neighbors complain. It's a 355 gen1 vortec roller with lt4 hotcam. Should be good for 400hp crank. Also I will hookup a rudimentary fuel system for longer/efficient run times. And if anyone want to know why? So I can check for leaks, operation and prove naysayers wrong.

Since I can't watch the youtube videos right now....

What are the naysayers naysaying?

That you can't run an engine on a stand?

Or that your combo won't work?

Not sure who you're naysayers are, but running on a stand and the gen 1 with LT4 hotcam are both well proven combinations. Your naysayers are idiots. Kick em in the balls once from me will ya? LOL! Nice sounding engine man, you did well.

Put a set of cheap bolt on header mufflers on it since you have the headers and add a radiator so you have some coolant and you can break it in.

DREAMER1 · 11-20-2013, 04:28 PM

Don't kno how to describe it. The motor sounded cool as hell. But at the same time it was funny as hell too with ur buddy trying to run off

. Alot of people love the lt4 cam. The vortec heads and that cam will make for a killer street engine.
