- Episode 271of Mike Finnegan's Garage is all about modifying my 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, which is called Blasphemi. This Hemi-powered beast is fast and unreliable and I fully intend on making it even faster and hopefully a bit more reliable. lol
With that in mind I decided to upgrade my ignition system to MSD Smart Coils. You can get more information about those right here: www.holley.com/brands/msd/pro...
I also changed from a wet-sump oiling system to a dry sump system using parts from Moroso and you can get more info about that here:

Thanks for watching this video. I really appreciate it. Please help support the channel by scoring some of my apparel at www.fsmgarage.com

Coil on plug means the coils are directly on the plug. Like the newer hemi motor has. What you have is coil near plug. Like an LS.
I never thought i would enjoy ASMR plug wires so much
i wondered if people would like that part. lol
Was definitely different kinda liked it but want the voice over telling me what the thought process was and or if mistakes were made for some laughs! I love seeing mistakes and the problem solving to fix em hence y I love roadkilll😂
@@FinnegansGarage It was perfect!
Best Sunday morning wake up video!
Like it when you give the 55 some love!
Blasphemi, Finnegan & Joe makes a great start to a Sunday morning. 🤩
Thanks for watching!
Ĥe
Or Monday morning if you🌏
Is 528 in car
@@xgford94I second that. 🇳🇿
Really enjoy the deeper tech the YT allows you to show. I'd like to see priming of the dry sump system.
I know Blashemi is a fan favorite... but my jam is that Caddy of yours. I can't wait to see the next upload on that.
We are working on the caddy next and I"m not stopping on it until it runs.
One thing I learned from drilling for heim joints is to use a drill press. You do not want to waller out the hole’s. That 5/8’s bolt needs to fit as tight as possible in the hole else you may get wobble in your steering. And if the angle is off, the joint will not mount flush.
There will never be a lack of content with Mike because he can never make up his mind
That’s fine. It’s all fine
More proof that bitchin hotrods are never really finished
Also the breaking things
😂😂😂😂 seriously
Anyone who has ever said… It’s done..! Is just lying to themselves..😂😂 And the industry know this..🤘🏻
Glad to have you back. Hope all is well with your family. 👍💪😎
we are great. just a small bump in the road. :)
Don't forget with a crankcase vacuum, you have no/less air moving around under the pistons and they can go down quicker ;)
Dry sump cost - $3000 “ to save the Hemi”, accurate fuel gauge- priceless!
Love the video and content Finnegan!
This is an actual car that needs a dry sump, it a purpose built race car. Not your daily driver….
Mike and Joe, thanks for another great episode! You've added to my knowledge on dry-sump oiling systems. I'm stoked to see how your ignition and oiling upgrades translate into performance gains. The shots of spark plug wire assembly was cool. I also enjoy the humility and humor you both bring to the channel. Keep up the great content fellas!
Great update on Blasphemi. Love these working episodes so much more than unboxing mail.
Good Morning wtf am i doin up at 5am???? Watching Finnegan's Garage of course!!!👍😎💯♥️
You could have used Loc-Tite green, sleeve retaining compound on that stud. Less permanent, and no welding bb's in the housing. That stuff has saved me in similar situations several times.
Finn and Chris, I really liked the editing on this video. I particularly liked the shots of the plug wires being assembled. I can't wait to see Blasphemi on the dyno!
Hey , you should check out the bosch coils directly monted to the sparkplugs used on audi TT and more . It would eliminate sparkplug wire failure and be cleaner
Go-Kart racer from last century. Would strongly recommend cotter-pining those bolts on the steering link. Vibrations can make for dangerous outcomes. You may comment about vibration issues as you proceed.
Joe deserves a raise for that coil mount idea.
Yes a very good idea. Well done Joe.
A better way to make those plates? You have an arcdroid.... Happy to have this Sunday morning, great way to start the day.
Please please please never get rid of the Donkey! Early Roadkill was such a blast and its always a nice ode to those fun times every time I see it.
Awesome stuff! You may want to extend that blower belt shield down farther on the drivers side to protect that pump and the lines if you pop a belt.
One beautiful advantage to the dry sump oil pump you forgot to mention. Eliminating dry starts. Slide the belt off, hook a drill to the pump and spin up the oil pressure.
They make an inline pump that you use a drill to prime it and don't have to take the belt off and get down there.
Either way definitely priming the system without having to add the compressed bottle of oil to prime it is a big bonus.
They also make an electric oil heater so you can bring the engine up to temp before starting@@johnsnow1355
"Dry sump, yup got all that oil weight out of the engine."
; no one ever, or Finnegan.
My dry sump tank holds 3 gallons. The tank and breather probably another 8 lbs. There is a lot of stuff inside that oil pan so there is a few extra pounds there. The idea is to take as much weight off as you can and put it where you need it. So your not saving weight you just have the advantage of moving it around. His battery on the opposite side is a good idea for weight.@@jasonbirch1182
I think it’s awesome how you guys handle the obstacles that come with changing one part that leads to changing six more parts . Those challenges make us become critical thinkers.
having the resources available helps too
@@440Nichole7.2with the Internet these days, we all have the necessary resources available.
I appreciate all you do, as I've learned enough to keep me going on my projects.
That was a outstanding video loaded with tech tips , and great shots of Blasphemi and how it was ( is) built. Greatly appreciated.
Mike, I very much enjoy your content. You come across as an everyday guy who would hang in the garage with anyone.
Gives me some inspiration to get some hp in my 72 Monte Carlo!
Hope all is well with family. Glad to see you back this Sunday
I love the gasser, and the show. Something I'd do, change the S in Blashemi to $ sign. Keep em coming. Keep em guessing.
Car looks great! I'm not sure I would trust those NyLok nuts on the steering arm, though. A castle nut with a cotter pin or some safety wire would be much better. That may be the thing that saves your life if those bolts try to come loose and you lose steering. Keep it up! Can't wait to see this thing make a pass again!
Blasphemi is the project X of '55's . a rolling test bed . and she just keeps getting better x
Such a cool car! Can’t wait to see the improvements on the dyno!
The transformation is amazing Fenn! Hope it makes killer horsepower and positive it will ! Do to all the hard work you guys have put in ! Can't wait to see Dyno ! Peace and Love brother !
I'm really excited about this new setup! I can't wait to see it on the dyno! Lot's of stuff moved and changed for the better this go round!
Always enjoy the content sir! Excited to see Blasphemi back on the dyno and on the track
Awesome video Mike. Sunday morning coffee, brownies and Finnegan's.......priceless. You did a great job explaining the glory of the dry sump. Your engine will make more power and last longer so how many $ is that worth? I'm building a 53 Chevy 1/2 ton drag and drive. Inline 6 292 (308) with a Ryan Falconer V-12 head(cross flow 340I/220E), billet crank, Billet solid roller cam and steel billet rods all by Crower. 5 stage dry sump. Electromotive direct fire EMS. Weiand 6-71 with 2 Quick Fuel 650 DP and 16 jet nitrous fogger plate. It should be well north of 1000 HP. 5 speed H pattern with a custom built Frankland Quick Change. A carbon fibre drive shaft will help mitigate the shock on the drive train. I also have EPAS Performance electric P/S and an electric A/C compressor with remote condenser with spal fan from down under. Sorry so long. Hope to see you there. Thank you for your time.
Yieks ! Sounds awesome.
ASMR lightning hoses. Never thought I'd see that on Finnegan's Garage.
Thank you for thr explanation of the dry pump benefits. Im not a racer, not a mechanic but is very interesting to learn this. Thanks Fennegan
Awesome! An ASMR video in the middle of a Finnegan video!!! What could be better!?!
Looking awesome Mike,good luck at the Dyno 👍. All the best Danny UK 🇬🇧
Oh. And good video. 3k in oil pump and 3k in hose and fittings! That’s a lot of work !
Oh man, thought we would hear it fire today.
Those spark plug tubes clinking together make the most satisfying noise. Reminds me of something from my childhood (although I was playing with toys then not building Hemi engines).
I was taught to tuck the core under the wire to go in between the wire & the spark plug receiver clasp before crimping.
27:56 making the plug wires was like a Cechalfo upholstery video.
You gotta love the “FSMR” for the spark plugs.
Right on you and Joe are actually listening unbelievable 👏
Great content as usual Mike. Hope everyone is all well at home for you.
I go to those guys for all my rear end needs,because they kill it! Finnegan 2023! 😂😂😂
I've never made my own plug wires but it sure looks like a blast 😂😂
In the Military we called the blue stuff "Layout Dye". We used it to layout blueprint patterns onto metal to be machined or just plain cut out. I think that is a good idea for your coil mounts. I too am not a machinist but have learned quite a bit in 66 years of mechanicing. Keep the great videos coming Mike, I love your work and diversity.
Love seeing Meziere water pump there. Flash back to my 1994 Transmarobird days with an LT1 and opti💀spark
For expansive Dikem jobs i bought a fresh bingo dabber. I dumped out the origional bingo juice and filled the bottle with Dikem. Works amaziing for large coverage.
Love when a plan comes together 👉 Can't wait to see the vid from Pete's place 🤘🤘
I thought making plug wires for a non Hemi engine was a pain in the ass but a Hemi takes it to another level!
Can't wait to see it run again Mike that car takes me back to the 60s what a Great time for cars and to live .Thanks Mike for the Video
Always look forward to your Sunday morning video. Keep up the awesome videos
HI THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ! THE STUFF THAT YOU DID WILL HELP ME WHEN I START DOING THAT STUFF !!! I WATCH YOUR ALL YOUR SHOWS AND ON TV TOO TODD FROM MICHIGAN .
I like seeing your train of thought, reminds me so much of myself and makes me feel better that I am not alone on that train of thought 😅
Might David Freiburger make you some more spark plug wire separators.😂
Great episode. Love watching you work. I learn allot.
love that 55..always liked the gasser class..great work!
Awesome! Can't wait to see the dyno video!
@Finnegans Garage that Delta Pag fan is awesome. Just installed an 18 inch kit on my Nova.
Bro, you are my new hero. I worked out a town all week went to a separation couple months ago trying to get replace up in redone to live in. I don't know weekends I don't have time for my car. At this moment. Winter time is coming, so you are my new hero. I get to watch you fix your while Mine sits in storage
McMaster-Carr bag, thanks for the support !
Great content. Hurry back. I can't wait to see it running.
Looks great. All these improvements should make some substantial gains. Can't wait to see it at the track...🤓
Amazing how much this car has evolved !
Good luck man, Moroso makes really nice stuff, my buddies work there, it’s amazing all the stuff they build there, I just had a tour through last week, so much great stuff
Best Sunday ever. Love Blasphemi and all my dozen shirts😂. Mike your content is fantastic. Only downside is it kept me out of my shop and the engine projects waiting for me. No worries, I'll stay tuned😊
Ozark Mo. APPROVED coils on elephant ears👍🏻
Hey there FourSpeed Finnegan, Thanks for the phd on dry sump oiling systems. Looking foward to the dyno results
Nice Job Guy's can't wait to see the big horse power !!!
ah man thats too bad. i really liked your idea of putting the coil packs tucked inside that ledge.
Mike, long time subscriber & I've love Blasphemi ever since it went together & I can't wait to see it rippin' again!
Thanks, one of the best technically episodes I've seen
Love watching you fabricating!
I used to work at Dan Olsen racing products and I am sure that they have a far superior oil pan than the Morroso unit. May cost more but they have much better oil scavenging and the built in windage tray pulls more oil off the crankshaft. AN additional advantage of a dry sump is the oil spends more time in the sump where it can cool therefore lowering the engine temp...making more HP.
That engine bay is CLEAN 🤟
Man I love looking at that engine...cannot wait to see it reliable.
The OCD in me though screams "Spark Cable Combs"!
Regarding "it's supposed to look like an old school gasser so let's try to hide them . The old gas racers wouldn't give two shits how it looked. That's what made them look like they do in the first place. So just build man. But I do see the Finnegans reasoning too.
For instance, I can't get over roadkills no front bumper on anything approach.
almost looks like it mightve been easier with a K series or ford style coil on plug. great spot on the coil placement!
Fantastic video Mike! Cant wait to see it going down the strip!
Good explanations in this video. 👍
Love the ska tune at the end!!
Dude I love these Video's and How you Explain the Details
He finnegan !
The heads up I wish I had - you’re putting on some beef chief.
Love everything you do. ❤
Sunday morning garage and coffee with Finnegan!!!
I was traveling through southern Idaho a few years back and while gassing up my truck I saw a mid 60’s F-100 pickup on a trailer. It was setup for tractor pulls and I had to check it out. I took a peek through the front fender well to see what powered it expecting to see a Ford big block. Much to my surprise there sat a big old HEMI! 😳
GSD ... Great episode and awesome progress quickly
Sweet episode Finn. Blasphemi is looking mint. The spanner and custom work are going to pay off on the time slip mate, for sure. Cheers mate
Looking good bud! 1200WHP Let's GO!!!
Love the coil on plug
Love the blasphemi videos can’t wait to see what numbers she puts down. Looking forward to the caddy progress as well.
Nice save on MSD coil locations Joe.
Most important feature of having drysump oiling system is at having constant oilsupply in any racing conditions, so NO oilsurge!!
And byside a lower point of placing engine hence gravity point.
For what wetsump can do better at its performance, is have windagetray and baffles in the oilpan. You can use a scavenging pump for the
cranckcase pressure buildup . On the top cylinderheads good breather to exhaust collector connection sucks out the same even to much,
so resctrictor may needed because It may even suck the valvecover gasket in! It had happend with Friend of mine, He has a Chevy 377 cid 700 HP
N/A stroker at 8500 rpm in an Opel Rekord with this setup .
I mentioned that , because some may not have the cash on a 1500 Euro drysump system. At least in Europe for a decent one.
Then as many opose it wouldnt help: Polishing counterweights of cranck do have less as of oildrag on it.
That is correct what you said, about unbalance by oil sticking or slinging around by or having on cranckshaft.
Anyway, there are a lot of dragracers with good results with a trick wetsump.
Good stuff man! I may have added some extras to your list of parts from Holley lol hope it was enough to figure it all out!
"... make more power than it ever has." That's what you said last time it went to Pete's, good luck.
