LETS LOOK INSIDE THE MYSTERY MOTOR! WILL BIG CHIEF PUT A TURBO LS IN THE CORVETTE?! 

thank you bruce! that's exactly what we talked about the other day making this video. it's become the idea that in order to drag race you have to spend a ton of money swapping motors and buying turbos and it's just not true. we hope to show that you can buy a regular street car and do some minor things and still go out and have fun and turn on some win lights!

@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto Love that and yes, there are a lot of us that need to see this 🙏

@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto the awesome part about this is that’s exactly what you two are doing. Chiefs a great teacher but the other really important part, at least for me, is how much the history of the sport is so important to you both. It’s so easy to see how passionate you both are in the videos that show you talking about the history of some of the tracks that you’ve been to. It’s hard not to get excited when we see how much you guys love this. Please keep going with channel. It’s motivational and inspirational.

Hell yeah man get that shit started then one step at a time then it will be done and it will all be worth it in the end

My dad (Rip) Thought me when I was a kid that it's not necessarily what's in the motor,but who put it in the motor,He said take two cars identical,same everything,take one and blueprint and balanced,it will smoke the other one,he also thought me unless your making enough horsepower that headers will slow you down,so my question is,at what horsepower would you want to add headers?

Vinnie your one of my new heroes. Keep it up. 👍🏻

How long have you been running alcohol in your NA engine??

@matthew are you exaggerating when asking him how long he’s been running alcohol in his naturally aspirated engine? Because if your implying that because it’s on alcohol that it’s not naturally aspirated, that is 100% incorrect {DEFINITION OF NATURALLY ASPIRATED} A naturally aspirated engine, also known as a normally aspirated engine, and abbreviated to N/A or NA, is an internal combustion engine in which air intake depends solely on atmospheric pressure and does not have forced induction through a turbocharger or a supercharger.

@@matthewvarnam4302 it’s been 3 years now . It’s 3 dollars a gallon when I bought a drum of it vs 75.00 for 5 gallons of race gas c16. And I can run a Honda Civic size radiator now because it runs so cool .

@@05reddmax I like it simple. It’s very hard to bracket race a forced induction engine consistently. We race into the thousands of seconds in the final rounds it’s very hard ,but that’s what we have here in NJ the 10.5 thing is not popular here as of now .

Yeah man, its good shit. I haven't seen nor thought about thrust bearings and oil pump problems in 20 + years. It's really cool being a fan and watching your guy talk about this stuff. Good shit 👍🇺🇲

yea budday!

Not hard to beat America’s list in excitement category. I can watch someone jump only so many times….

The amount of small tire racing events is outstanding, it is basically like a weekend away with the family and there's great things that involve the kids and then later, maybe last day the racing starts..all help you if needed, you break anything in burnouts, car drives don't want to win that way..midnight madness, the massive hill for shutdown is REDICLOUS to see...

If you know how any thing works you can fix it .

For sure learn something new everyday with chief someday I will goto Midwest street cars lol crow and caddy is my 2 favorite Cars

if he only spoke good english...without pauses to trying to come up with words he doesn t know.

100%

Same !

Almost like they timed it that way👀

Same

Billy was fuckin flying! Finally got around Hong's nova.

@@pmmartinpmjm Yes that was so awesome. Love Billy's truck.

yaaa buddy!

Don’t choke on it

ha! nailed it!

so true i was just watching src

LS motors are for people that don’t or can’t spend big money on an old school 350 or 400 cubic inch motor. I’ll bet Chief is as schooled on an LS motor as he is the old school motor. Plus, when he shows up to race someone whether it’s one other car for money or an elimination Race. He wants the other guys to see an old school motor. With that motor the people that he will be racing will have one mind set. If he had a LS in his Corvette they would have a completely different mind set. Kind of like the Crow. People see his motor he is running an under estimate him an his Crow. Chief does his homework 📚 That’s just one of the reasons he can explain all of this trash that is going on in his motor… He talks in plain English. Speaks slowly so we can really catch on and understand everything…. When I was a kid I had one of the fastest cars 🚗 around. It had a built 327. No such thing as a 350 bock then. I ran a Muncie 4 speed and anywhere from 4:11’s to 5:38’s rear gears. My motor went to 9000 rpm very easily. Chief probably has forgotten more than I’ll ever know!!!

@@ltsgarage7898 Go spend that big money on a gen 1 sbc and get ur ass gapped by a junkyard ls. Since i guess im poor i will keep my ls's

@@ltsgarage7898 Can't spend money on a Chevy small block? It's only been around for damn near 70 years! You can find plenty of small block parts.

@@shadhord9502 I remember when it came out!!!! I never said you can’t spend money on a old school small block. Where did you get that idea???

@@bendavis2652 you are reading something into my post that I’m not saying. Try reading it again!!!

thank you!!

its not as scary as it seems once you learn it!

sorry about the rough patches Joe. we hope things get better for you 🙏🏻 thank you for watching the videos and commenting

@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto thank you for your kind words it means a lot. ❤️

Taking care of your business lessens the "IF" in LifE... it also helps eradicate guilt during playtime, which I throughly enjoy 😉

Keep your head up brother!!

You could always be worse Joe not saying that your problems aren't bad or the it's not hard but I like to look at things like hey you could always be worse I could have no legs and be blind and deaf keep your head up buddy

that is our plan!! thank you for watching!

If it had the wrong balancer and or flexplate on a 400 you would know it right? The engine would start shaking when giving it throttle right? And if you had a 350 block and put a 400 crankshaft in the 350 block you would have to use the 400 balancer and flex to keep it balanced.

The improper flex plate would rattle the motor, it would be wise to check the weight, mounting faces, bolt holes etc. Let the parts talks. Always a good idea not to overlook the adaptation dim. bolt holes, surfaces looking for unhappy parts.

yaaa buddy! you have a sweet icon next to your name that says you've been subscribed for 6 years! so thank you!!!

@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto been following for a long time for sure! Chief had me street racing way before I should have been haha

Bruce actually the 509 2 bolt blocks are stronger than the 4 bolt block in the 400s just add 4 bolt splayed main caps and send it

Or dowel pins.

I second the t shirt idea 👍🏻
