  • We've shot a few episodes with our friends from Hood Muscle Cars but this one is definitely next level. Blank is an old school street racer and says this Chevy 3100 is his favorite vehicle to date. It has a built LS engine with twin turbo's and it blows the tires off 1st through 5th gear so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    Not only do I love the fact that this man and his crew drive their builds on a daily basis, but that they've known each other for so many decades and have stuck together. They're the real deal.

    It threw me off when he said no boost it makes 1000hp. But what he means is at wastegate boost at 8psi it makes 1000hp. Lol! Love this truck!

    This guy is not scared to get after it and stay in it as long as he wants and is cool as a cucumber while doing it. I respect his driving demeanor. I imagine that if that truck gets sideways he would probably turn out of it pedaling the throttle and enjoy the action. In most of the episodes I have seen, the drivers get on it for a bit as long as the car is going straight. Not this man, he goes into the deep end and searches for more. He runs on Adrenaline and Dopamine.

    Awesome Truck Blank!! 5.3 is probably the best engine that Chevy has put out. It’s versatile and hard working and reliable. You really don’t need a bunch of money to make a build like that, it’s more labor and tweaking. Great Video Shawn and I would love to meet Blank and his crew. Lots of knowledge to absorb, just freaking awesome.

    Very cool truck. A little optimistic on 1000hp at 8psi on a 5.3. You'd need around 650na to reach a 1000 flywheel hp with no efficiency loss. Probably closer to 18 psi for 1000 flywheel hp.

    Why did I get the shivers when he hit the pedal :). Bro, this is what I wanted for my brothers and me because this is what we have grown up around. Our paps had us going in the fields with 250 cars, so we could find motors or parts for a car he wanted us to build. My brothers took a different path, and I still do what I like. I have a 57 Apache and a 1970 Ford Torino GT convertible that I'm adding some treats to it.

    Best interview and vehicle I've seen yet, simple setup(It has to go into boost a sometime, I don't know how you can get 1000 hp out of a 5.3 unless your in boost), I have a similar 6.0 setup coming on my 1972 chevelle which will kick in boost at 3500 rpm 56mm Borg Warner's.

      Nice truck, dude seems to know what he's talking about but I'm calling bullshit. No sbe 5.3 making 1k hp on gate. He's a carb guy, don't know shit about efi. Maybe capable of 1k on a max effort tune, but that's a stretch. I want to see the dyno sheet. 😂😂

      @TheBroLounge Před 11 měsíci +4

      Im assuming when he kept saying "no boost" he meant that it gets only 1-3 PSI cause of how its set up. But yeah I dont see how else you get a 5.3 to 1000hp with zero boost.

    9 out of 10 drivers would pile this up in a 2 week period (if that long) if they tried to drive this truck like this. Kudos to this builder and driver. Great video as well.

    Amazing video!! Badass truck teamed with a humble, yet badass old school owner/builder!!! Street rodding from the soul!! You can't blame Shawn for his PTSD hand grip, butt pucker, and stressed face probably all originating from his unforgettable prior incident as a passenger... More from Hood Muscle Cars!!

  • @russellcollier1599

    If I was to build a truck. It would be that one. The reaction was classic. Brought tears in my eyes knowing that man can scare people with that thing.. those guys would be a lot of fun to hang out with. The auto knowledge that those guys have with their history of racing.. I would enjoy that.
