WE CAN FIX THE HEMI !!! : DRAG WEEK 2022 DAY 2-3
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 09. 2022
- Well, we did a good job of wounding the 535ci Mopar Hemi V8 in my 1955 Chevy Bel Air. However, after attempting to swap David Freiburger's Hemi Gremmie engine into the car and subsequently failing to complete the swap, I started to stare at my engine more and asked myself the question: Can we fix it? The answer is yes, but only if we figure out how bad the damage is and get the parts to fix it ASAP. Since Tony Angelo from the Stay Tuned CZcams channel and I do not quit, we are continuing on. We are lucky to have a video crew who's as nuts as we are and so we will forgo sleep if we need to but we are going to try and make my car run again if we can before the event is over.
This video and every other video from my trip to Hot Rod Drag Week 2022 was made possible by the good people at Wire Care. Every inch of wiring and thermal protection found on Blasphemi came directly from www.wirecare.com

Man I missed Tony. He brings such a character to these events.
You know he does have his own CZcams channel
Stay tuned Tony's channels is called
@@sgan937 Yes, that's ME!
@@StayTunedTA nice keep up the good content.
ya like when he smoked the low oil slipping tranny by running it full length down the track GG Tony!! did you think it was a cvt?
The perseverance is inspirational.
As are the lack of foresight that causes thousands and thousands in damage lol
The amount of circle jerk jaw-flapping and discovery before they pulled the pistons is what I don’t understand.
@@DisgustedGenXr and what I don't understand is how on earth are they still having fuel problems when Finnegan has had this exact issue for years . No issue with the motor , just not enough fuel in the tank .Considering the amount of money that goes into race cars how in all of the hells is that fuel cell not topped off after every pull !
@@randomusernumber1 He has a programmable engine management system, he could put a big red warning light somewhere that tells him "You don't got enough gas for a pass without killing your engine!" Or even just flat out kill the engine if he puts it in gear without the required amount.
@@DisgustedGenXr I’m so glad all you guys are perfect and have never made a mistake in your lives…….
The old saying is you never know who your true friends are until you’re down. It warms my heart to see your “buds” jump in to help you out! MAD respect!!👏👍🙌🏾🤜
that’s love ❤
@@Russell_and_Rosko I know it does exist still
🙂
That's the group mentality of drag week. Nobody wants to a dead car if they can avoid it. Competition yes, but it's a club/family vibe that really proves that people care a lot in this community
Just keep throwing money instead of thinking for five minutes, males sense right? 🤔
Glad to See Tony Helping Again this Year !
The fact after all the struggling, you are positive and got guts to continue is something inspirational
I was saying that last video, this guy has been through so much with this car and he never bats an eye. I'm sure theres alot of footage edited out but Mike seems like a pretty calm and collected kinda guy.
no pain, no gain. these videos pay the bills. 👍
Are you serious by now you could have bought a $400,000 Chevy Steve Morris engine and one drag week every year. Honestly you could have bought a 305 and it would outlasted the Dodge performance Hemi engine. I own a Dodge I'm not sure why they even put a hood on them vehicles I guess just to hide the disaster it's like closing the coffin
Sorry sometimes wonder what to trust more a Hemi or Joe Biden. I'm sure once more reliable than other and I will hear comments from both of the confused loving environment. Where should the best man I got a small Journal 327, that would be great in a gasser and I would trust you could push it to the Limit red lines probably 8,500
The amount of hemis he's blown up in blasphemi is insane. Closer to 10 than 5?
I just wanna see blasphemi doing gasser wheel stands and a full rip down the track again.
I just wanna see it in my garage in uk 🇬🇧 😂
…against the Ford-powered 55!
My favorite part of this series: Watching you two and your team troubleshooting and devising a plan to repair. You can visible watch by the expression on your faces, the vast knowledge and experience at work!
Yes, the saga continues! Go Mike Go!
IF YOU HAVE TOO…MAKE A PASS WITH BLASHEMI ON THE BACK OF THE RAMP TRUCK PULLING THE TRAILER
Or maybe a winch with 1320 feet of cable?
Great idea. Crowd favourite needs a trip down the track 👍
Hahaha, I said the same thing.
Now me and the mad scientist have to tear down the block, and replace the piston rings you fried!
Man, you dodged a big one there! I know it’s not Roadkill but maybe a preflight check list is in order for each run to protect the investment. Just a thought. Good luck! Oh, good seeing you Tony!!!
Weird to think they didnt do that during the 2019 drag week they had one
Yeah, we have one, it's not like we forgot about fuel, we were just getting started and someone said it had been filled so we wanted to get a run in, and with having to mess with a bunch of other stuff to get on track, I assumed it was in there. Dumb mistake either way.
@@StayTunedTA well at least there isn’t major engine damage. But it’s lucky! With that heat to do that to the piston rings I would have guessed the piston would have been holed. And I hope you get some runs in so you can get the car right!!
Be safe, but have fun! I sure enjoy watching everything you do Finnegan!!!
@@StayTunedTA "someone"
why are your crew stupid Toni not filling up fuel with E85 every pass. , avoid tony
MPH = Miles Per Hemi ;)
Hemis per quarter mile lol
You should get some little hemi picture stickers, and like WW2 pilots paste them on the side of your car for every time you killed an engine
So.....basically wrap the car with little Hemi stickers. Got it!
That would be hysterical.
so impressed with the never giving up. this is the spirit of drag week.
You guys are awesome. I really love the fact that things can be so adverse, Yet, THERE IS NO FOWL LANGUAGE !!! At least on camera. Thanks for being above all of that.
Dude I’m so happy you didn’t kill the new hemi. I’ve been waiting to see blasphemy tear up the strip again since you won in 2019. It’s one of my favorite cars of yours.
I love it... "The good new is... I can't find anything wrong... The bad news is... I can't find what's wrong..."
Last video I had a tears in my eyes. The woes of Hot Rodding. Clicked this video still watery, but now my face has the smile. Soldier on guys......God I love that car....
Lucky doesn't begin to describe it, o Brand new motor, cooks ONLY the rings out instantly, on the first pass, because he was low on fuel, rebuild in the parking lot again(rebuilding a hemi in the parking lot didn't need to be a tradition, but it is)....
And the next video it will be alive again. You guys are the reason I got into cars. Only been following Finnegan since the street truck days(o.g.bagged c/10). Best of luck dudes!
Love this comradery between Tony and Fin. Tony treats Fins car like it was his own. A true friend Tony is, just a solid dude overall.
How you guys can be so calm when an engine like this has issues is beyond me...its either a surplus of confidence or a surplus of cash.
Dont get me wrong, I wouldn't be crying in the parking lot but I would be kicking myself pretty hard...
Either way, you guys are a duo to look up to. These funnily enough are the vids I enjoy watching the most.
Good work guys, glad to see that the Hemi Gremmie is still going to make the Zip Tie Drags, and it looks like you guys will get Blasphemi back together again too. Y'all are going to sleep for a week when this is over!
Keep it up! You are inspiring a lot of folks out of very tough problems!
Nice that Mike took the exit signs to hart and said nope we are turning around.
I knew blasphemi was nice but the motor in that thing is real serious. I saw the piston and rod when finnegan was holding it. The piston is a work of art. Lol beautiful build!
Hell ya! I'm so glad to see you guys not giving up!
Think its awesome to see tony with you nice to have that tight circle of guys you can count on,keep it up.
Mike never fails to get after it!
Remember the old days when all you needed was forged pistons, SS valves, cam, and springs.
Going fast and not having as much trouble as all the good stuff brings on.
Being young, broke, and not knowing better sure was fun.
What awesome luck! Congrats, I hope this is the start of nothing but good things for you and your crew.
You guys are absolute machines.
Awesome guys. Looking forward to seeing it run again
Glad to see you guys still chasing it!
I'm in the middle of my own build on a 68 firebird and its a ton of work. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great news, I think on the video of that pass, it wasn’t lean for very long, looked to be not far from the stripe, hence the little damage. Love seeing you guys back together. A-Team….
Was so looking forward to riding along with you guys. Can't even imagine! What a downer... With you all the way... Onwards and upwards, best of luck with what's to come 👍
Hello Mike and Tony with two great mechanics like you and Tony Blasphemi will live again. Wishing you both all the best Take Care Guys
WOW!
Cool to watch in real time
NEVER QUIT !
Mike, your patience and commitment knows no bounds!
Good news is, you are the only ones building a Mopar aluminum Hemi, to reinstall in a 55 Chevy gasser, on a Thursday, at the racetrack. Legendary
Such a bummer but I’m glad you guys are digging in and trying to make it run. Good luck!
Perseverance and drive will overcome anything and you sir have both. Good luck 💪💪
YOU JUST CONFIRMED FOR ME HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE YOUR PISTON RINGS GAPPED PROPERLY. WITHOUT IT, YOU DO NOT HAVE COMPRESSION OR A MOTOR!!!! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT WHEN REBUILDING ANY ENGINE!!! THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE!!!!
Mixed emotions. I feel so bad for you that you're out of competition, but cheering you on to get it rebuilt.
Drag week this year has more quality camera coverage from different perspectives than the dang Super Bowl.
Persistence pays off...great video! Thanks for sharing
Im so glad you can get it fixed and make a few passes. Drive safe.
Great to see Tony, with you this year.
Top man for allways trying to continue 👏
i woke up just in time to see this new. my morning didnt even start yet and its a good morning
Same here the last video I seen last nite was him calling it made my day😎 roadkill spirit
Thanks for the update, can’t wait for the next one.
Glad to see you and Tony are going to fix it
Heck of a job guys. I love the drag racing spirit.
I'm really glad you and Tony are doing this together.
Tony knows what he’s talking about.
He has a fantastic history of braking thing 😂😂
Tony is just the man! He is just so smart and down to get dirty! Legend!
Great to see Tony again!
Love y’all glad to see Tony in this mess with ya.
Thank you for showing the ring damage/lack of tension thing in detail. I wasn't quite following you on that before but there's no denying that has occurred. The weather in STL has cooled off a lot, you'll see what I mean when you get back here Friday.
Man, I learnt so much in just one video. That's what happens when you have 2 amazing people in one video
Good job Mike and good luck !
You are persistent, like this, never stop.
Unlucky mate. Thanks for sharing the journey.
I need friends like this! Tony is a real one for sure!! Good seeing you and your buds gettin it done! 🙏 no more issues for you guys! 😃🤙
The team deserves a beverage 🍻and food❤ frikin hard luck again 👏 thanks a bunch...
Luck? No, poor planning and operator error caused this. Luck had nothing to do with it. Lessons learned I'm sure. Super stoked the Hemi is not destroyed though as that's one sweet block. Wish I had it instead of my cast iron elephant.
🤷♂️😂🤣😂 time and time again guys smoke fuel pumps especially after sitting for 2/3 years 😂 definitely bad planning but dam he's doing mototrend +family and YT like ffs am I surprised nope not at all.... BUT ITS DRAG WEEK
This whole series has been a rollercoaster. No hemi in blasphemi, 1000hp at the tires, throttle stuck couldn’t make a pass, parking lot engine swap, just kidding not an engine swap, actually we can fit it!
If this ain’t race week in a nut shell I don’t know what is
Glued to this! couldn't wait for this upload!
Great news. Can't wait to see it run again.
I know you want to be out there racing but this content was just as good if not better. Kudos to you all for not giving up. Love your content.
Some well deserved luck ! Light at the end of the tunnel 👌🏾 you got this 👊🏾
Everyone needs a friend like Tony
Way to keep a good attitude, I know personally I would have been devastated and I’m sure you were but you kept your cool and I also admire that you admitted your mistakes, allot of people like to blame everyone else. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that you weren’t able to compete, but it also helped me learn a valuable lesson in humility. Always learning something from ya, appreciate it, keep your head up!
Tony are the truth brother!!
Wear that scar with pride.
Don't think ive ever seen someone so happy to rebuild their engine, can't wait for the next episode much love from New Zealand
I'm really sorry this happened to you.. I'm glad you have friends there to help you though it really does make all the difference.
The Hemisphere Gods blessed you again!! Can't NH wait for Indy!! Good Luck
LOVE that its not gonna be down for 2 years again. really looking forward to seeing it make a rip!
Never give up………where there’s a will there’s a way……love the Chanel…….GOOD LUCK
Looks like owning a Hemi is a good way to go from billionaire to millionaire
Racing period is a great way to have less money. Gotta pay to play, as they say.
Not a Hemi issue but keep crying about it.
@@markwise9868 As long as i remember Finnegan has been having issues with all his Hemi engines so i think it is a Hemi issue, is that or he is not as good or has not got a competent engine builder
Quitting is not an option! F’ing love you guys!
Buzzing for you Mike, fingers crossed you can make the last day or two and have some fun. Great call by Tony as well, he called the rings as a possible issue.
Great that the engine is not a write off. This daily series is really great !! Greetings from Prague, Czech Republic
Glad that Tony with you👌🏾
Get on it man! Get out there and have some FUN!
Getting interesting Good luck
You two are great love all the content guys! Thanks from NC.
Was hoping to see you guys at Cordova today, but glad to see you guys are still making it happen!
What luck, it wasn't the Lucky split. Thank God! Good luck getting this hemi up and running again. Can't wait to see the outcome.
I'm happy you're going to get the car up and running
I will still never forget watching tony have to benchpress the transmission so that you guys could get going again. Love the perseverance and I hope one day to make it to zip tie drags just to meet yall
Legendary persistence!!!!!!!
What a lucky break man! Keep going!
Get it sorted for the next one ,looking forward to Mike and crew ripping the tracks in the future 🇦🇺🦘👍
Getting out of that situation with annealed rings and no damage to the ring lands is phenomenally lucky. The speed part gods are watching over you, Mike!
Need to Blasphemi running again ; good luck !!!
Hell yeah so glad it was nothing really serious . Love watching that car run she's awesome
Great content thanks for sharing
good work, gentlemen. good things come to those who put in the work and y’all have that in spades. also, i don’t think any of us viewers would be upset if you included more rolling shots of the floating center caps on the ramp truck. 😉
Glad you’re happy having going good
Nice work! I’ll be at the track tomorrow. Good luck😊
