Engine build of Pontiac 455 on Vimeo in 1080HD

Hey guys

I've just uploaded Part 2 of my master engine building series on Vimeo:

https://vimeo.com/60619852

Let me know what you think about it and what can be done to make it better.

This build features a behind-the scenes look into the workings of a machine shop as well as an assembly and finally road testing.

It is my own 455, with a traditional cam and compression build. Stay tuned as I upload new chapters as they get finished.  

Hey, I clicked on the hyperlink to watch the video and it said it wasn't available. :-(

I'm not sure why it doesn't work from here, but you can copy and paste it onto your browser.

Or look up Pontiac 455 on Vimeo.

Available only in 1080HD on your computer.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Let me know if you find the video useful!  

Your link is a dead end.,. sorry, but it does not work, even with pasting.

Horsepower sells engines and torque wins races

That is the correct link. It will not play on a smartphone or anything other than an advanced computer. Thanks!

Nice video, well done. I enjoyed it and learned a couple things.    

I just watched your first 2 episodes and really enjoyed them. I will be a first time engine builder soon, (when I have the money and time). I am trying to learn as much as I can so when I build my 421 dual quad, it comes out right the first time. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I'm big on visual aids. Like they say "a pictures worth a thousand words".  

Thanks tempest1964 for the kind words! Check out parts 3 and 4 online at Vimeo. Part 4:

Parts 5, 6 and 7 are online. Lastly, boring and honing the cylinders:

Nice video, only question I have is no torque plate on the bore and hone?  I paid an extra $100 for the plate (simulates the head bolted in place to account for distortion later). I do understand his explanation.  I will dial bore my block to see if there is a fluctuation on the upper section of the cylinder bore.. Now I'm curious.  Worked fine on my smart phone.
