30 years from now Tesla conversion shops will use these videos as tutorials.
Musk knows where he lives, and I bet *Musk has secretly visited Riche's house at least twice now, to see this thing in person.*
@@BAGINAZARD that would be funny lol
Elon:
Tesla with 300-mile range? Impossible.
Riche:
Hold my beer!
@@slawomirlech950 something tells me after Rick's "done" with it it probably won't be getting 300 miles
Not even in 30 years
Pretty sure Elon is separated from Grimes atm because they fought over this video. She said "That colored fella sure has the skills, unlike SOMEONE I know" To which he responded, "Good, go live with him then". She was enthralled with the new tips Rich cooked up.
Underrated comment lol
this comment needs to pin to top
😂😂😂
JUST THE TIPS
😂🤣🤣🤣
Shoutout to Josh for putting up with these degenerates and doing some incredible work on Ice-T
Calm down on the good will hunting.
I absolutely love how you incorporated like half a dozen ads in like the first half of the video but in super fun unique ways. You are AdKing, in comparison to the boring ads we need to sit through on other channels. Love the creativity and sarcasm always. Always laugh with you guys.
Gosh this makes me love and appreciate CZcams premium ZERO ads...
@@NewLifeFromTheWayofTruth bro they werent those kinds of ads hahaha
Joshua's welding is freakin' amazing!
It took them a while to find a decent welder but Joshua is the man! And he also fits great in the team.
Yeah that book at the beginning of the series really showed helpful
Yeah. Not bad
ridiculously prefect pattern.
Not bad for a beginner
It takes a long time to build a car from scratch. It takes even longer to rebuild one with a motor that was never intended to be there. The on spot engineering that goes into a build like this is mind boggling.
I wonder how many Toyota/BYD Blade batteries will fit under a Tesla fitted both length/width ways... ?? would be an interesting conversion for off warranty Tesla`s...
I think "On Spot Fabrication" is the pedantic, but more accurate term that should be used here.
check out Bad Chad
Compared to Project Binky this is flying along.
can't wait to see peoples reactions when he goes to fuel it up
This is the kind of project that's a massive pain in the arse the whole time but when you stop to catch your breath, it gives you a big dumb grin because of how cool it is. Not the concept but the execution. The concept could have been anything, but a Tesla suits this channel and also makes a good point. "Why would you do this to a Tesla?" Because they wouldn't sell me the parts to fix it.
We definitely agree with your comment!! The statement "why would you do this to ......" is what motivate us!
My favorite part of each video is hearing Rich rip the trolls a new one!!
that's the most boring part actually... doing it again and again... is pointless. we like his videos I don't want to hear him talking back to the trolls for 5mins+++ waste of time and content when you do this in all the damn videos.
@@johnnyxp64 I like it, it's a good intro
@@johnnyxp64 Do yourself a favor and stop watching, this is his channel and how he editsHis videos is up to him. 🙄😒 You're exactly like the trolls he rips each week. Go buy yourself some stool softener you seem uptight...
You and Weird Beird could use Better health. 🤣
Absolutely agree
"not bad for my first exhaust" had me dying dude
Lol
WTF ARE THESE STUPID ROBO REPLIES 🤦♂️🤣
Josh letting the work talk for him 😁🎯💥
Rich ive been building cars for 35yrs, i always see things i would have done different and things people do i like and use later. Its never a wrong way if it works, its just an efficiency point for the builder. I love the petrol Tesla build no matter how its done
As a professional tesla swapper - I would have gone with the Subaru EJ25 motor. It is a superior motor in that the head gaskets always blow, so you have more youtube content.
Had me in the first half ngl
As a Subaru fanatic, 10/10 agree with this comment.
This is why I went with the superior EJ207.
Or a subaru h6 engine would have been way better.
@@carholic-sz3qv Perrin did an H6 swap and realized it was cool, but not worth it in the end. Check their 2005/2006 SEMA build blog.
Please send me a link if another company has had better results with an H6 swap, I stopped following STI builds about a decade ago.
Why stop there just use RX rotary Mazda engine
That intro was literally life changing.. I no longer suffer from back pain, lung disease and chronic depression.
man, I cant stop listening to it LOL
i keep laughin!!!
“let’s do a muff dive. can we say that?”
“yep. nope.”
Hahah betterhelp is the actual sponsor?! Dude, that transition is so on point. LOL.
I'm 5 years into my e39 528i turbo conversion and I haven't even started yet. Take your time man. More content, more betterer.
Another BMW guy! Check out the BMW that's lurking under our 49 Ford Shoebox body.
Craftsmanship is still alive. When the underside of your car looks as cool and interesting as the engine bay or cabin that has to feel good.
when did it ever die? did people stop making things or something?
@@gotworc Errrr.....People are buying Teslas now. Some have a different horn sound or rims as other Teslas. Thats as far as variety and craftmanship will go in the future.
@@gotworc It never went extinct but it significantly diminished since somewhere in the early 20th century. The more powerful technology gets, the less the general public _needs_ to understand it. We've been living in a throw-away society for generations by now. Craftmanship is simply way more expensive than mass--manufacturing something acceptable.
@@hasangenc2922 Why so dystopian? If there's demand for it, I don't see why 3rd party shops wouldn't eventually allow plenty more variety than that. Remember Tesla is still a small niche startup brand by the automotive timescale. I think Tesla still has more cars _in_ warranty than without, which should say a lot. And BEVs still only make up a few percent of global sales. I bet it'll be a lot different in 10 years when it's about half and the cars sold today are out of warranty.
@@gotworc In many countries you are not allowed to make your own cars
Thanks rich I know it seems like most of us are impatient but every time you post a build it is perfect. The van, the sherp, the i8, the cyber quad and your new off-road model y with grind hard plumbing was great. Thank you for finishing your project cars and not buying a farm of cars and “never” fix them.
You can only "slap it in" if the engine matches up to the existing one. Considering there's no engine in the original car, there's nothing to "slap it in" onto. But the progress, the steps seeing it come together... that's why I'm here. Very cool stuff!
I’ve been converting electric vehicles into petroleum for over 40 years now. You’ve made a few minor mistakes, but I think overall you’re on the right track.
Haha wtf 😂
If by being birthed by a trainsvestite than maybe
Just a minor mistake
You have successfully established dominance
he's doing pretty swell for his 1st one.
Man, all your content is intelligent, silly, fun, and full of realness, but that's why I watch your videos, forget all those whiners wanting it fast, keep it up. Please!!!
Watching custom builds never ceases to amaze me. I struggle finding a solution for a bolt I can’t get a proper tool on; I can’t imagine how much time, passion, (don’t forget money) and effort goes into something of this size! Your Tesla series and JerryRigEverything’s Humvee series are fantastic to watch, thank you for the content and keep up the awesome work
The amount of work you put into this channel is appreciated. Thank you for showing us the future 👽
"WHO OWNS THE VAN?" LOLOL. Josh just stole your show fella's.
So torn..... Annoyed about silly commenters not leaving Rich alone, but I live for Rich ripping these chucklefscks a new one each week!! Aagggh
Seriously need to appreciate those armchair experts. They provide so much content in the way of Rich shooting them down in the most enjoyable ways possible.
Rich is thick skinned. I’ve been watching him for years. He has a good sense of humor. Any comments go towards his count.
these comments are literally typed by 40 year old men that take everything way too seriously and don't understand the internet
Haters gonna Hate.
Dude's like a rap star. Always talking about his haters, yet I've never heard from one.
As a car builder for over 1000 years, i have built the first motor vehicles to ever exist. Scratch that i even built carriages. Scratch that i literally built horses. I have modified all sorts of vehicles. I built big block drag cars when i was 1 year old. By 3 i had built the plymouth superbird. When i turned 7 i had already won le mans as a manufacturer 7 times in a row. i built over 80 bonneville landspeed record setting cars when i was 8 years old. By 13 i built every single group b rally car, i built the early turbo cars in indy and f1. When i turned 15 i had already made the first top fuel dragster to run down the 1/4 mile in under 4 seconds. I invented the limited slip differential and the first 6 speed manual transmission in my sleep. I once was constipated and shit out a piece of iron, that piece of iron went on to be the 2jzgte. I made the first msd ignition with a aa battery. I was the consultant behind the bugatti veyron. I created holley, edelbrock, comp cams, injen, hks, turbonetics, Garrett, and every other vehicle performance brand in existence. I own 324 Toyota 3kr engines and 662 18rg's. The first dohc engine was my idea when i was dreaming, and i made vtec by accident when i was high on acid. One time i barfed and invented nitrous oxide. Etc, etc, the thing is... everything you have done is wrong, that car will ner run because you did everything wrong. Firstly you should've used m11x1.4 bolts, without them that car is gonna fall apart. The welding is utter garbage, its not good old 220v arc welding like all good cars have. And finally, it has no jb weld, the quality of this work is absolute garbage, and it'll fall apart.
This is amazing. I've been building vehicles for 10 yrs and you are making history my friend. Keep up the good work. Beautiful build!
This is actually one of the first youtube projects that i would 100% love to see in real life! Just the idea of the v8 tesla tickles me in a special way
Rich and Stevon’s BetterHelp ad was one of the greatest ads I’ve ever seen.
Ngl I’ll definitely check out Better Help now
I want to take the same "better health" that Rich and Stevon got.
The only thing that made their performance not 100% believable, is the fact that we all know how solid their bromance really is.
Do you guys realize that the voice over artist is "Zach" from the Now You Know Channel...lol....love the collaboration.
@@tomcollins1427 _'love the collaboration'_ It's a good one. The one I wish for though is Rich and the Internet Historian.
The opening was the best yet! The humor and trolling was top notch, I'm looking forward to next week's episode more than usual!
Anybody who has had any project knows what burnout really is. Getting rest and gathering your thoughts is necessary to complete them. Rich, Good job man and keep up the good work/videos/editing and whatever else it is you do!
I have done quite a few Tesla V8 conversions back in the 70s while working in my dads family business. Seems like you figured it out quite well, some rookie mistakes here and there but nothing major.
Lol
😂😂😂😂
I don’t believe Tesla cars existed in 1970. Hard to convert when didn’t exist.
@@adwenb They did exist, but they were made in the 20s and 30s before Nikola Tesla past away. Old models, but still good for electric to internal combustion conversions. In those days they called them horseless carriages.
@@common_c3nts Wow! I learn something new every day!
Those pipes are a work of art. That kid has the touch. It's going to look solid industrial once the stiffeners are added. I've done my share of custom stuff and good results take some serious time. It shows on this build. Can't wait to hear those pipes.
Just ask Bad obsetion motorsports, and project Binkey! 7 years.
I'm just impressed as all get out on what you've taken on. I can't wait to see the final build
My favorite part of every video is the defensive rant. I’m working on my own defensive rant in my garage, so this is invaluable.
Easily the finest exhaust any Tesla had ever seen.
Easily.
best and worst since it's the only one!
@@lazarusbambakidis6820 noo, the worst is the one with fake tips, quite an old picture
The only exhaust on a Tesla, wonder what Uncle Elon and all his FANBOYS who think he’s the second coming of Christ think about this car
Other than the big diesel stacks on the thing that actually gets Teslas from the factory...
"Who owns the van?" Had them speechless. Good answer
I FEEL VIBRANT RICH WHEN I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS.AND THE OLD SPICE COMMERCIAL REALLY SETS THE MOOD OFF...FANTASTIC WORK FROM ALL OF YOU..
LMBO!!! The intro was hilarious and the content incredible. This is the only channel I wait with anticipation for the next upload. Good stuff
I'm glad to see to guys taking your time on this trying it right. No need to rush it.
Uncle Rich,
You are hands down my favorite youtuber. Even on my worst days, your videos make me laugh. Stay true, fk the haters.
I'm starting to look forward to these seamless ad placements more than the projects. It's gold boys!
I think you and your team are superb Richard don't let anything get you down. Hello from Oxford in the UK
This channel deserves a Grammy, for the soundtrack.
Beautiful exhaust system and nice outlets! Yes ceramic coating them would be perfect. I’m almost thinking maybe you should keep the measurements for everything so you could sell conversion kits for people to use in converting to a V8 LS swap.
Nobody else is insane enough to do this swap.
@@pookysdad4884 unless you make it viable. 😏
seriously the only channel where I do not skip the ads.. who's with me!?
Thanks for the Deep dive on the muff
That sponsor plug was actually seamless
Your a fucking brilliant mad man!!! Just 5mins in and I’m dying from laughter
I can’t help smiling broadly myself, and I love the EV revolution!
The sedgeway into the eBay Motors plug was flawless.
One of my favorite Uncle Rich sentiments is when he's like, if you don't like what we've done on this car, feel free to do it your own way on the V8 Tesla that YOU'RE building. The shade... I love it!
What you are doing is so fabulously I can't wait to hear that sick exhaust.
I’ve been building cars going on 92 years now and I would have done everything different. Just everything y’all have done, I would have done the opposite. And again, I’ve been building cars for over 100 years, I think I know a thing or three
Lol
I agree. In the 1000 years of car building I have done, everything they did was wrong.
You've been building cars for 100 years lol keyboard Indian weirdo don't try to look clever it'll backfire
I am the Keyboard Commando and THAT CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A YEAR AGO... What is taking you guys so long ... Don't you realize you've done it all wrong... I could have done that swap in a week end... in my sleep ... heat shields are for Pussies ... Those tires are fine , plenty of tread , I could get another 10,000 miles on those... I built mine w/ 1200 HP.
Many blessings , SMR
Back in my day, when Noah was building the ark, I helped him LS swap it. By Craky, we knew how to do builds back then.
Rob Dahm: "Jaret? who's that?"

Well done guys, best content on You Tube. Awesome creativity combined with laugh out loud humour.
X 'Gon Give It To Ya!
Fuck waiting for you to get it on your own
He literally said that later in the video.
@@ACadgy My comment was posted before the video was released. It was minutes before the premiere.
I've been building cars for 33 minutes and I approve.
Epic craftsmanship to build a solution for a problem that never existed. Kudos!
It’s amazing the work this channel does totally appreciate your work fellas
Such it samcrac ! See he’s still working on it. Don’t be jelly. Props to Josh’s welding abilities, well done josh without you this projects goes nowhere.
Rich, I love the build and craftsmanship going into it. I know you dgaf about peoples opinions about the build but there is something you should at least look into. I definitely suggest going with a two piece driveshaft for one as long as the one you’re using. I’ve never seen a driveshaft that long at that diameter live with any kind of power. I really hope it works out, but if it doesn’t there will be mayhem when it comes apart.
I’m saying this because the first time I saw one fail was after I built a single turbo 1jz swapped Nissan Hardbody pickup. I thought I could get away with a one piece 4”x roughly 60” driveshaft (because the first driveshaft shop I went to told me it would work). It ended up twisting in the middle and snapping. When it did it punched a hole in the floor board just behind the drivers seat where I had a small bucket of nuts. They flew around the truck with enough force to bust out both of the side windows in the back. I replaced it with a smaller 3” two piece (after another shop looked at it and the truck and was like “the other shaft would never last at that length”) and have never had a problem since. But it did make me start asking questions to people when they broke a driveshaft and most of the time it’s the same story over and over. A long one piece driveshaft. Just a suggestion to at least consider.
Well, hello guys and great imagination on the build and good work! That exhaust is absolutely gorgeous and if it sounds as good as it looks will be seriously badass!!!
I’ve been watching since the early car guru days and this has to be the most complex build that you have ever done.
The sounds of the Bugatti race at the beginning were spot on! 👌.
Please please don't stop using the "Recorder" on your videos. I used ro play the recorder and yes that's how my class sounded.
You guys are talented! Kudos to your team
Rich. I laughed so hard I cried! The 'Waaah' with the racing cars killed me! Keep it up man, love the content!
I think that is the quickest Sub that I have subbed to a channel after only 4 seconds! The intro killed me!
Rich keep up the good work. Best project since your first tesla. So great to see your channel grow.
This is pure insane brilliance. I honestly can't wait to see this Ex-Tesla, Ice-T, do it's first burnout, and donut. Utterly ridiculous, and that makes it perfect. Oh, and Samcrac? Aston. Working. Soon.
HOLLYWOOD, please, give this man/ crew a movie deal. As always, extremely entertaining. And those welds look like perfection - well done Josh
New to the channel from JRE. This is freaking awesome!! That exhaust is absolutely amazing!!
epic build!! can't wait for the next steps, but I would have loved to hear the car fire up with this exhaust system!
Picture quality is way better you crazy genius! That exhaust is blowing my mind, can't wait to hear it roar 🦁🦁🦁

I think in the whole history of the youtubes NEVER has an exhaust looked better EVER!
LOL, that intro had me in tears. Especially towards the ending.
Rich Im glad you are taking your time with this project. It’s a one of a kind car that’s going to be a well built and reliable. Keep up the good work
This was one of the funniest videos y’all have done yet.
Can't wait to hear how it sounds!
You say people complain about it not being fast enough while I'm over here appreciating how fast it's coming together!
It’s some the best beads I ever laid eyes great job Joshua
Those are some of the best welds I’ve ever seen
I really need to buy whatever book he was reading.
Josh needs to reveal the book
If you smoken daaaa rock on the short bussss
@@ShirahamaNeo-Tokyo that has been shown in previous episodes, "welding for dummies"
@@ellioteslander3046 I think the Project Binky team were reading the same book, and are taking even longer... perfection clearly takes time.
So proud of you Rich for getting off the down low, we know how much you love pipe
🤣😆🤣That intro with the rant is epic and legendary...." I CANT FORM A COHESIVE THOUGHT IN 15 MINUTES
Elon definitely watches Uncle Rich, there's no way he isn't secretly practicing the art of the flute as well
Love ICE-T Rich but i feel like for projects like these if you could give us some kind of checklist of each system that you need to do/finished it would make it easier to follow and show how diligently you've been working.
Good feedback thank you. I will go over some
Of that in the next installment.
Omg THIS
Like a roadmap?
@@leech8374 I guess he just hasn't had the bandwidth for that, we'll sync up next all hands.
@@RichRebuilds @Nuur forgot to mention is that is how Samcrac would do it.
Love it! So happy to see people do this
BEST looking Tesla I've EVER seen! I can't wait to hear it run next!!!!!!!!!!
seriously just out of my heart you guys deserve a show!!! Dayum!!! This is AWSOMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
That exhaust is a piece of art!
And the funny part is that I was just wondering last week where I would get that modern OEM heat shield look for my car as the exhaust runs too close for comfort along my brake lines, fuel lines and air bags (issue is common: no room underneath the car for a different setup) and that heat shield stuff looks clean!
great group of friends. love the banter
I look forward to Rich's videos every week. The content is barely OK, but the humor is good. I get irritated how long it takes to get a little update on the tesla and then go another month or 3 before we get another little update. Thankfully you guys are just funny enough to keep me coming back, hoping this time will be the video that has the finale of the tesla build. I doubt you read the comments, but if you are reading this, knock it off, get back to working on the tesla. Maybe you can finish it before 2022 ends? Ah, I'm just screwing with you, love the content and love the humor. Keep up the good stuff!
Truly brilliant Rich. I'm sitting in the UK on a Sunday night watching this video, laughing my head off at the irony and sarcasm. If you had shit teeth, you would be truly English. Keep up the brilliant work and keep taking the piss. You are a legend. 👍🤣
If it’s any consolation he is in New England.

I love these Sunday videos Uncle Rich, thank you
That exhaust looks great. The car is really coming together. Can’t wait for more content!!
All this custom work is amazing so glad I saw this on other’s pages
That was the funniest sponsor ever. I had to check the description to make sure it was an ad lmfao
God, I love Joshua, I hope he stays on the team.
This is just amazing.
There is a german saying that roughly translates into "good stuff takes time" so I am really glad you guys force out an ICE-T video every week.
I agree
If it's German, it's probably a word like Guttenfukkenharderthanasumbiscuit.
@@pookysdad4884 no, it's a phrase: "Gut ding will weile haben"
