LOOOOOL
Best CZcams comment I've seen in awhile. Thanks I needed that
lmao
+10 internet points for you good sir, hilarious
I agree with other comments; that was pretty funny. Thanks for making me laugh!
It's a sleeper. More than one way.
Sleep'in'Sleeper
Hats off to you sir!
Bravo on the pun sir!
We'll played 👏
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"How's the steering?"
"Vague"
That's comforting 😂
We didnt touch the brakes, steering or suspension.
"How's the steering?"
"It exists."
I switched the spare!😎
Its a suggestion in any motorhome 25 years old or older
SHTRS FULL license plate, priceless.
The RV cousin Eddie has dreams about.😂
Thanks for pointing that out lol I didnt see🤣

Cop sitting behind a sign on I-81 looks at Winnebago go by at 102, looks at radar, looks back at tail lights on Winnebago, and tosses radar gun out window. "Yeah...I'll just wait for the 10-50 call..."

People at work are wondering what I'm laughing out loud about. Nice one.
@@trikelyfe6090 having I-81 behind my house, that comment caught my attention as well 😂

Unlike a mere panel van its a true mobile wank space.
Kills the Doug score for that weekend category
A turbo LS RV? Well that dosent sound that scary...
Oh it has 500-600hp...
And it still has the stock brakes...
Need to take it to the strip... with a good runoff.
A parachute? Id need a dozen to stop. Lol
I'm going to wager the brakes haven't been replaced in a very very long time
They really need to fix up that toilet and shower...
Hitting the go pedal must make people swear like the Winnebago Man.
"Why is there is a rearview mirror?"
"Idk."
Good answer
To keep an eye on the little shits while you drive.
This thing makes so little sense that it actually makes sense
StraightSixBenz modernism
Better mpg lol
Like an integer overflow wrapping around to 0 again
Making it both faster and more fuel efficient doesn't make sense?
The “SHTRS FULL” license plate on the front really makes this RV great
I dropped my phone when I saw that lol. I have to go watch that movie now.

1976 Winnebago Cheiftan:
In 1976 it was bought to take a cross country vacation
In 1986 it was sitting in a used car lot for sale
In 1996 it was still sitting in the used parking lot but the owner of the lot was living out of it
In 2006 it was a rolling meth lab
In 2016, some sloppy mechanics saw it and wondered what a turbo LS would be like in it
In 2019, Regular discovered that the toilet didn’t work since the meth lab days, THE BROWN WAY
As the timeline into the Winnebago chief-tan when it was bought new in 1976 to take a cross country trip. In 1986 it was on a used car lot for sale as a decade later it was still for sale but the owner of the used car lot was living out of it. in '06 it was turned onto a mobile meth lab when in '16 some sloppy mechanics saw the potential for a LS swap when they discovered with the 440 and 727 torquflite automatic the motorhome came with barely got above 10 MPG as after the swap to an LS based 6 liter and 4L80E those would be averaging at least 15 MPG.
There are rumours the Winnebago did the kessel run in 11.9 parsecs!
I didn't know they made Lone Star's Winnebago
“It’s Spaceballs One...they’ve gone to Plaid!!”
Gotta do the Cannonball run in this thing.
if that doesnt happen then i'm doing it

I have never laughed so hard at a machine. I have no idea why this exists, but I am SO glad it does.
lol haha
The fucking plate - "SHTRS FULL" . Glorious.
Haha same here man! Straight up awesome invention
“It has methanol injection too, and we hid the tank under the dining room”
That thing sounds like a mix of a really old semi and a fighter jet. Probably drives like it too. :D
accelerates like a fighter jet, brakes like a really old semi
A LS Swapped turbo Winnebago with meth injection ... wow
Please upgrade the brakes lol
Brakes are other cars
RyanM4N Put some Carbon Ceramics on it.
"Winnebago with meth".... I see what you did there.
@Patrick Fischer it's a reference to Breaking Bad (a tv show) were the main character (Walter White) cooks meth (short for methamphetamine [an illegal narcotic]) in a Winnebago.
I’m guessing a vacuum booster does not work well with a turbo.
Cop, "sir do you know how fast you were going?" "Offasir, we are in a 76 winabego, going up a hill."
Fastest meth lab ever.
Someone got their photo radar ticket for doing 140 miles per hour in an '05 or so Hyundai Elantra tossed by citing that it's a Hyundai Elantra.

I can't imagine how cheap gas was in the 70s when a behemoth like this was unironically on the market.
Unironically? Unironically what?
They still make gasoline motorhomes that get atrocious fuel mileage.
This had a 440 ci 7.2l mopar big block V8. A modern motorhome on the lower end will either have a ford 6.8l V10 or a ford 7.3l V8 and will weigh significantly more than this. Nothing has changed. Companies still put massive gas guzzling V8's in giant motorhomes.
TFW you can get even bigger gas motorhomes today. Most are V10s, some are V8s, all bigger than this old winnebago
They still get 8-12mpg

We had a '69 Winnebago. In the summer '98 we completely restored it. New roof, new paint, new cabniets, etc. I remember as a little kid, falling a sleep on the engine cover. The warmth and sound of its 351 Cleveland, along with the floaty, gentle sway of the Winne (as we called it) lulling me to sleep. I miss you Winne
Ugly pieces of junk
@freezeme360 probably what made him go to sleep
I got paid to go to cali and pick up one of these and a 32 ft sailboat in the mid nineties, leaving cali the sail boat slid forward after an emergency braking situation and blew the back window out!! The start of a very long and eventful trip back to N.Y., I-80 during a snow squall in the sierras near truckee CA. and we're snaking up and down the hills at 47 mph pissing off every trucker on the road, falling asleep at the wheel in utah and driving into the median so hard the boat shifted and had to be repositioned by a friggin rotator, not to mention the drug dogs and vehicle search!! Doing a carb swap, ditributor and tune up in the summit auto parts parking lot in nevada!! Scoring some hash from an indian in colorado!! I'm still alive though and those were high points!! LOLOLOL!! R.V.'s are really cool, as long as they don't kill you. And believe me they will try!!!
@….awesome story, a memory for a lifetime. Now that's livin dude!
You definitely weren’t the only child lullabied to sleep by an engine. My parents told me when I was a baby and would wake up crying at night they’d take me for a drive around the block. By the time my dad did a full loop I’d end sound asleep.

It was only a matter of time before this showed up here.
The moment I saw it on Justin's channel, I was waiting for it to make its way here.
I would love to see one of these, really clean, with all the appliances working, with a fully built motor and a 1000+ horsepower... Ultimate car guy house!
Why would you want that much power in this thing? sketchy af to drive as it is.
Put a trailer on it as well and you have everything you need to live and have fun
Haha you would need an anchor to stop it with 1000 horsepower lol
@@dragon81heart Automatic chutes!
I have contemplated putting a 600+ ci stroker in place of my RVs stock 454. Thing would actually pass cars with 700 ftlbs
So there's basically a piece of carpet between the driver and the motor?
LMAO I love it!
I mean it's probably a carpeted cover, but yeah lol

It was a death trap.
Why?

Finally an LS swap that isnt boring, mundane and just like everyone else. This is the first LS powered anything that didnt make my eyes roll.
What's wrong with LS swaps?
@Cooper: The world’s least-smart poodle LS swapped lawnmower.
@Cooper: The world’s least-smart poodle Somebody has already done it with a chevy small block.
So the 1st LS swap that didnt make your eyes roll is in a big ass winebago that’s old and heavy and will NEVER be fast no matter what you do to it....
Congrats, you’re an idiot.
@@robertburton8055 Ah yes, the muscle car assholes strike again I see.
I worked on a 440 Winnedago like that. Changed the intake to aluminum, afb carb, dual exhaust, and the owner reported he had gone from 7 or 8 mpg to 12 and had a ton more power. Driving it down Speedway In Tucson was an experience. You have to focus far ahead, if you try to look close to stay in your lane you're fucked. You must drive with extreme indifference as to where you are in your lane, faith is the best option, just have faith that the others will get the hell out of the way. I love your version better, I'd live in that pos.
I would put some brembos and fix the toilet
imagine you take this to the drag strip while you have your buddy taking a shit while runnin times
If only brembos weren’t $10k dollars a set
Chuk u but they’re not...
I'm bummed they didn't demo the musical horn!
therealsnow same.
Definitely a missed opportunity ☹️
The only thing that works on that dodge is the chevy drivetrain
LS turbo is life. Ls turbo is new home.
11:41 I laughed hard at the Penn plate "SHTRS FULL"....best Winnie ever!!
This reminds me of the first Cummings Turbo diesel bus that my school got when I was a kid. The horse power difference under load, plus the sound of the turbo at half to full boost ALL THE TIME! Going over mountain passes for field trips was so cool because instead of being in the slow lane with the semis, we would be passing them and older cars.
This is the definition of "Why not?"
I like how just that piece of cloth covers the engine
"They must have hyper jets in that thing! What do have in this thing? A cuisinart??"
A friggin meth injected Winnebago, you gotta be screwing with me, that's pure insanity.
I want one.
Direct meth injection….Walter White would be proud.
On a long enough timeline...
Consider that these old Winnie's were built when highway speeds were 55 MPH. Solid I-Beam front axles and this particular one had the lighter duty chassis so it floated a lot. I am sure it was fun by scary to drive above 60MPH!
LONESTAR!!! The only man who DARES give me the raspberrys :D
LMFAO
Anyone else think it'd be cooler if the toilet, shower, and stove worked?
theknifesong like a normal rv with those accommodations? Sure.
None of it was on but last we used it a couple years it all worked. The fridge is the only issue to be honest...gotta get that sorted
RV plumbing consists of a sewage holding tank & fresh water tank & small hot water heater & pressure pump & they will freeze & crack if not winterized & propane connections to stove will go bad, if your a lazy-ass you just complain.. if you want a (home) you fix that shit!
and people used it while racing.
True disapointment.
Drove around the country in one of these with my band after highschool in 2005. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
When you convince your friend not to LS swap the RX-7.
KoopaXross imagine having a small light rx7 and then getting gapped by a house
A ls with a turbo in a rx8 is awesome. Guy here has one that runs 9s and drives to work.
Methanol injection... so basically a meth house on wheels. So dope,no pun intended 😂.
Zephyx you mean I’ve been using the wrong stuff this whole time?!?!
YESSS It HAPPENED!!!!! Saw the orig. video, saw RCR's comment and HERE IT IS!!!

Couldn't have said it better.
BLow off keep the turbo spinning freely you dont need it but it can help with lag betweens gears
I think you mean the “bro-off valve”

Sounds like. This needs to be made into a Hot Wheels die-cast model.
and what? you push it faster and make turbo noises?

The turbo plumbing on this thing is very similar to what a Buick Grand National came with from the factory. I like it. It even snorts like a GN when they lift off the throttle.

Rev up your engines!!!
It's the crazier vehicles that keep a smile glued to my face. Suggestion - take a fire-engine out onto the raceway. Oh God please.
mgabrysSF you my friend are a genius
Swap an airplane engine into the fire truck, too. I think a Packard Merlin would fit. A Lycoming O-1230 _might_ fit, it's a high displacement flat-12, so yeah, I'm sure that would power a fire truck. Use the old Detroit Diesel as a generator or something, they sound good but aren't all that powerful. Torque is great for moving things, but moving things and going fast requires at least some horsepower.
The CZcams Phantom Official some of those old Salisbury engines on the east coast ran v12 Detroits...there’s a ton of potential right there....not to mention that nothing on earth sounds better than a screaming 2 stroke Detroit. The merlins only truly sound great when they’re spinning a prop and the tips of said prop go supersonic.
@@ROTAXD Yeah, the old merlins do rely a lot on the wooshing prop noise that those old warbirds are famous for! Otherwise, a large sleeve valve engine such as the Bristol Hercules would sound better, though quieter. detroits were good smoke machines, laid down decent torque, too, but the power left something to be desired...
The CZcams Phantom Official while all 2 stroke ‘troits were supercharged (superchargers were necessary for them to even run), twin turbo detroits are absolute monsters. Granted, you had to keep them in the redline to make power, but setup properly, they’re great. Besides, Merlins are so rare nowadays I’d feel horrible if I burned one down...there’s still quite a few detroits around.
This was awesome. I have seen this truck before, but never out on the road making pulls!!
Thanks for sharing this with us😀
GREAT VIDEO RCR!
