One of the very best in so many ways. Glad to have a relationship with this great man.
Couldn't agree more!
Awesome story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing career 😮
Absolutely!
The machine work of the manifolds is so intriguing
Absolutely!
If I could afford it, I'd have him build an engine for a Drag n Drive car. He seems like one of the only people who can build something that would sustain the street drive abuse and the drag racing for a week.
Definitely 😁
Prolly be 50k errr sooo
They do amazing work!
Steve Morris does a good job at that too.
Bitter would be the least of how one would of felt! Regarding getting fired. Great, humble man.
So true!
I watched one of those engine builder vlogs that he turned a Chevy small block ( V8 ) into a V6 for Bonneville by deleting two pistons and rods and adding some secret weights to the crank I never heard the results
I'm pretty sure it went to Bonneville and set a land speed record...
Seriously folks, over 2,500 views and less than 125 thumbs up 👍. Come on
Does anyone know the approximate HP numbers of the tubes beneath the restrictor plate and the extra restrictor plate? I know 600 HP before restrictor plate, then minus 200 with the plate, then additional HP with the plenum tubes, then more HP with the extra plate and thick gasket?
The first ones were worth 40 HP...
Great question. To bad it was asked during the show.
Wasn't asked
