Episode 296 features my favorite car in the Finnegan's Garage fleet--Blasphemi! This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air has been with me the longest and its the first long-term project we ever tackled on Roadkill, the Motor Trend show I still film each month with David Freiburger. I'm still pushing towards that magical place where speed and reliability share real estate and in this video we perform three new mods to accomplish that goal. First, we slide a larger pair of Stainless Headers Manufacturing collectors onto the primary tubes of our headers. Next, we replace a small Hilborn injector with a larger one that my buddy Phil Rohr sent me. Finally, we build a new set of header collector extensions aka Bullhorns and then a longer pair of front leaf spring shackles. You can find more info about the parts and companies we worked with in the following links:
www.stainlessheaders.com
www.customsbybigun.com
www.holley.com/brands/hilborn/
That's not all; Don't forget about my biggest giveaway yet for a vehicle from my personal collection plus other cool prizes. Head over to www.fsmgarage.com for your chance to enter to win my 1970 Datsun 510! Two runner-up winners will receive a Wirecare Motorsports wiring kit and six runner-up winners, will receive an autographed FSM Flexfit hat. Official rules can be found at www.fsmgarage.com/pages/win-m... and no purchase is necessary to enter. As always, head over to www.wirecare.com for all of your wiring needs.
Good luck and Thanks for watching!
-Finnegan

Just take a stock kit and modify it, it’s the same thing as hot ridding a full time car. In today’s era it’s easier than ever since we have 3D printers and resin printers that are dirt cheap. Heck you can print out the whole car…

The recently rereleased Revell '55 makes a great starter kit. Everything can be printed like the other guy said. I think Slixx even has a decal sheet with Blasphemi on it.

​@@alexcoronaBack in the early 90s I bought a step side Chevy truck model. It was just the stock truck. I tubbed it out, used wheels from a dragster model. I even used red thread for plug wires. My girl got mad at me and smashed it. But like you said you can build any model just like a real car.

Finnegan, you should really add a radiused plate or actual set of trumpets on those throttle body openings. It can make a significant difference, as much as 5-10% in flow in some cases.

If throttle tip-in is a little finicky, use something that the OEM manufacturers did to make the throttle progression more linear. If you have looked at any mechanically operated throttle on a throttle body from Detroit, the cable wraps over what looks like the outline of someones ear on the end of the throttle shaft. This makes the tip-in less sensitive at idle, but progressively changes the throttle to open quicker the closer it gets to WOT. This setup "feels" more intuitive to whoever drives the car, because it seems more linear as you drive it.

That or shorten the main arm, and add a longer arm with a v end to catch the cable between idle and 1/4 throttle. same result but little different look.

Blasphemi is my favorite car on youtube, by far! It needs to be on the streets. It has such a big presence and the people need to see it on the road. What it's capable of in the quarter mile is a secondary issue, in my opinion. I know I'm probably in the minority with that.

7:23 protip drill the holes first, then cut it on the bandsaw with allowance, then use a piece of wood, with a drill bit (of the same diameter as your hole) to pivot the part against the belt sander. That way, you get a nice, clean centered corner.

At long last, someone (Finnegan) has addressed the critical Beer-to-Work ratio. I approve of your formula. My own beer rule has always been the same rule I apply to listening to podcasts or music while I'm working: if it's mindless work such as long bouts of sanding or cleaning, I will allow myself one beer per hour, not to exceed three beers. Podcasts or music can be ongoing indefinitely until I have to concentrate. Then all beer, podcasts or music must stop until I'm done working for the day. Your results may vary. Don't try this at home. Don't tell my wife; I already have, and I keep written records. The elephant in the room has been acknowledged... and of course it's a hemi.

In my opinion there are 2 mechanical methods to restrict that throttle body for drivability. 1 is another row of throttle plates above the first, commanded by either a servo or manual/adjustable lever or a 4 holed flat aluminum plate that can slide horizontally above the body to restrict airflow as required. Sure it ain't cost effective to build either way but it sure'll do the job I reckon.
@Troy_Built
@Troy_Built 10 дней назад
I learned the hard way to check to see if the throttle goes over center and binds. It was a blown prostreeter in a hotel parking lot and I managed to steer it in between two of the concrete planters. That was a major butt pucker moment before I got it shut off.

Maybe you should put in one of them new-fangled LSs or LTs or whatever they call them these days. I heard the wrecking yards are full of them. It would be nice to see a Chevy in a Chevy for a change. I'll bet Trans-Dapt even makes adapters for it. You might need to make headers because stock manifolds would probably hit the steering box. You may want to upgrade the cast iron Powerglide to the newer Turboglide. The '55 rear end should be just fine. Maybe a set of 4.11s would help.

It's looking a bit rough these days but it gets great gas mileage, has ice cold AC, and it's mechanically sound. Unfortunately it's a rust magnet and the paint has seen much better days but I don't care. It does what I need it to do and no one would ever consider stealing it, even if I left the windows down and the key in the ignition and with a "steal me please!" sign on the windshield. 😂

Rather than plugging a hole I reckon a longer throttle arm is better, per inch of throttle peddle you'll get less airflow as its less aggressive. They do similar things to cars with fly-by-wire where you put it in sport mode and the throttle curve is straighter line. Also no roadkill in the UK after all these years means we only have this to watch Finnegan and nothing for Freiburger.
