Ever since Finnegan left Roadkill all of his projects would cost a fortune to duplicate. Tony and Lucky keep it real. But MAYBE he should have spent a little more on this swap ;)
I shared the first video in this series with my friend and said 'Their going to take it to the drag strip, turn up the boost, and break it on the first pass.' and he said 'They're going to _really_ break it.' and we chuckled. Never change.
Yeah, they definitely have some meat in the game now with their online videos. Between Redline rebuilds with a great host, Barn find hunter another great host, and now with Tony as a host on Stay tuned they definitely have something for most car guys now.
Losing timing chains on 4 valve modulars is not common... also the tensioner frames are aluminum, the LININGs are plastic yes, like literally every modern chain driven OHC motor...
Hate to see the Mark VIII take a dump. That was the first car I ever had. Loved the car, but I had the transmission replaced twice and rebuilt twice. Needless to say, in stock form they don't always hold up the best. Still super stoked to see what you guys will do with it. Hope you keep the 4.6.
Damn it wasn't happy after the burnout. I thought that was tire smoke from the launch but no. 15 PSI non intercooled on a stock bottom end. Can't wait to see the tear down and how bad the rods are bent.
With the marks you need one, a limited slip dif and two, you need a jmod or a shift kit. You can easily pick up nearly half a second and sometimes up to a full second on the quarter
Love this dude! I play the "like" counter game with my 9 year old stepdaughter all the time. I think she'd give Tony a run for his, like, money! It's hilarious to hear her try to change her speech pattern when she's been made aware of how many times she says it. She gave me a swear jar. I gave her a "like" jar.
and wheres the motor diaper at. All wise testing to the max people use them cause they know they will break the motor and oil will Be blowing from everywhere.
They're essentially Ferrari motors, these aluminum Teksid engine blocks pressure cast in Italy in the same factory. For historical value they'll be worth what the 427 SOHC camera are someday... But not today
Seeing someone wear ear protection next to a drag car is such a breath of fresh air! Too many youtube car guys ruining their hearing/vision/bodies by not being safe when working on stuff and setting a bad example.
That's the difference between kids in their twenties and dudes in the 30's/40's. I admittedly never wore any of that stuff until I turned like thirty and developed a ringing in my ears
Some awesome cars, Pizza, some great pass footage, and carnage. I couldn't have better content with my Coffee this morning. ❤ I'm excited to see what direction you go with the Ferd next, and curious if if will remain on the budget build list.
That dude was mad because you drug OIL all the way down the CENTER of the track! THEN, pulled it into the staging lanes still leaking oil. oh and hey... WHERE's THE WASTEGATE!!! ???
If you don't want the track officials to glare at you, don't roll for hundreds of feet spraying oil all over the track! You're just making a bigger mess for them to clean up. If you grenade anything and suspect you're leaking, pull over and STOP. The track officials will love you. Great video, do more!!! :)
@@Hey_Blinkin haven't looked recently but 3-4 years ago these Mark 8s were selling for $1500 on the high end and could be had all day long for 3-400 with bag or ball joint issues.
To tell you the truth I like for you guys to put a motor together for that old Lincoln some forge Pistons and let her rip tater chip love them cars good content not the same LS crap all the time thank you sir
And this is another example of why people are buying and building the N54 335i XI cars and doing a few cheap mods tuning it with MHD putting some Ethanol in it and going 10's.Doesn't even break the $3000 mark. Cheap The engine wont tank on you. As well do the few maintenance items and it will be a great road and fun day car. Oh I forgot about the Ebay turbo upgrade for less than $1000 too. LOL. I have one and it's Nuts! They only (Usually lol) blow up if you push them over 630 HP on stock bottom end. If you spend a bunch of cash you can do the internals for the big 1000 HP numbers but really that's just getting back into the big money stuff then.
I used to run at Maple Grove all the time, its a great track. I'm surprised that dude didn't kick you guys out for that massive oil down. Btw you are supposed to pull off to the side and shut down immediately when it starts to let go like that. Not spread oil for miles.
Tony broke it? Nooo, I don't believe it for a second. Tony is always so easy on the equipment. So unlike him... Lol . Hey that's the chance you take when you boost a used up factory motor. I loved the Lincoln concept, hope you guys get her back on the road soon.
2002 WRX 178,XXX miles. Installed bellmouth downpipe to go with catback. Installed aftermarket computer. Boost was supposed to be 16psi. Was messing with a Mercedes SL500 on the freeway and was kicking his butt until I threw up a smoke screen. Pulled off the freeway and it knocked like a diesel. Still got me home. Looked at logs and it ran 21psi.
GO Go Gadget Lincoln! A friend once gave my son a Chrysler Sebring convertible with a broken ball joint. We had to fix the ball joint, wheel bearing, transmission control module and several other issues and he finally got to drive it. The first time he tried to drive to the beach the timing belt ate through the water pump case and filled the oil pan with antifreeze. Sound familiar?
That Nova isn’t a ‘65, unless they converted the tail lights, decklid, and grille/headlight bezels. It has a ‘62 grille, and the Nova fender badges which were put there only in ‘64.
@@BarbalinardoInnovations Regardless, it’s a beautiful car. I’ve been into Chevy II/Novas since I was a kid. I have a ‘64 2door Sedan that my dad gave to me when I was 14, after he drag raced it in the 70’s and 80’s.
I grew up in the 80's in Oklahoma city on the Southeast side of town where at least 1 or 2 people on every single street worked at GM or worked at Tinker AFB. So we saw a lot of cool special edition cars especially from GM. There were a couple of those el calbero diablo's floating around the neighborhood. All lower case letters. Funny side note I bought the 4th Cavalier Z24 ever from a GM engineer. He was super cool he explained to me how to read VINs and what it meant. He had just upgraded to the new 4th gen Camaro Fun a s little car. 4 Speed manual, digital dash that actually worked. 2.8 V6 that twisted the whole front of the car into knots. 0 to 40 I never got beat, above 40, I got ran off from, LOLOLOL.
Ah…that’s not a ‘65 Nova. It appears to be a mixture of 1962 thru 1964 Novas. 1962 grille, 1964 emblems. 1965 Novas have very unique, one year only grilles, headlight bezels and larger, 2-part tail lights that are on the trunk lid as well as the quarter panel ends. Never mind, just saw the graphic that says it’s a ‘64. Cool car!
A good thing to keep in mind for future ford endeavors. Do a smidge of research and find out the common weakness, then address those things before you run it so you can rest assured that a $20-30 part failure doesn’t stop the show for ya.
Told you the rods let go at 450RWP. And your guy's information is questionable at best , the 4.6L is not known for breaking timing chains and the tensioners are not made out of plastic. The guides are made out of plastic. The tensioners do go bad occasionally, which causes startup rattle, but is not what bricked your motor, the rods went "bye bye".
Yep, Diablo was a real option. A guy in my dad's circle back in '84 had one. Dude kept it on the mild side. He only put headers and Edelbrock/Holley combo on it stock. Sweet custom pinstriping and some lowrider style lake pipes and Dayton wire wheels.
