Two! You got a shout out in two of them! haha

Thanks!! I'm glad the videos were a success! I hope they help inspire someone else to do a drag week someday too. Watching other people's videos is what made me want to try it!

Thanks!! Definitely learned a TON and gained so much experience being thrown in the fire. Here's a pic of the list with the average 1/4 times and 1/4 speeds. I never asked them what their trans were. The 66 mustang had a Dart block with twin turbos. I know that much. I THINK he told me it was a...

Little update! Got to race the car in the Midwest Drag Week last week!! What a great time and a fun week!! I started a youtube channel for anyone who wants to watch the week of adventures! They're all pretty short videos so they're fun to watch! It was my first drag and drive event and only my...

Lmao fiiiiine

Not sure! I had put out good numbers before. The last time the goal really was to fix some drivability issues which we did. So I may not! I'm a little scared too honestly since it killed the engine last time lmao.

Finally got the car back together and out of the garage Sunday! She runs!! And it has great oil pressure! The tolerances are opened up to the .0025 that they should be and still have about 50psi at hot idle with 10-30. Drove the car to work today as its first test drive after bleeding the clutch...

More to report. I thought it was detonation originally that killed this thing. However, the rod bearings looked perfect, and the piston and rings had 0 signs of detonation. After talking with a very knowledgeable friend (@TT5.9mag) and the machine shop who did the new work we decided that the...

Got to pull the bottom end apart Sunday! Drained the oil and ran it through a paint strainer. Nothing. Cut the filter open and nothing until I really spread the element open and deep in the V I found some material. I also checked the oil pump release to make sure that wasnt stuck open. First I...

Finally got to work on the car Sunday for a bit! I'm curious to pull the engine apart and see what I find! I think I'm gone this weekend though, so not sure when I'll get to crack it open!

Welp, finally got the YJ/CJ build together to the point I'm waiting to be able to paint the tub this winter, so the jeep got swapped out for the duster! Time to yank the engine back out and see what's going on! Getting the duster on the trailer with slippery snow tires was fun! lol but...

You're right, which is interesting that he says that in the description. In this video he said the new cam will be better all around except way up top. Hmmmmm

From my understanding, Matt designed "The Best Cam" to replace the sloppy stage 2. Has about the same LSA of 110.5 vs the 112. The lift is a little bigger being .595 vs .585. The duration is a little smaller being 219/225 vs 228/230. From what I've heard on youtube, it still has a rowdy idle. I...

Welp, greed is a wicked thing! As I had stated before I thought I had hurt the engine at the dyno because my hot idle oil pressure had dropped some which is my fault for asking to push the car more. We did address the drive ability issues while I was there and I should have left it at that, but...

So, yesterday I got the headers off, compression test done, new plugs in, new MLS manifold gaskets & headers back in and injectors changed. Car seems to be running much better now! It was raining yesterday and today so hopefully I can drive it tomorrow and see if its back to 100%! But it doesn't...

All of the trucks I've taken apart like early 2000s are MLS. I think all of the LS exhaust manifold gaskets are MLS, but I could be wrong there.

70psi at idle!? My motor is 50 when cold but like 37 when hot at idle. Always has been. And after a ton of pulls I get a few drips out of my PCV that is just routed to atmosphere. But its nothing crazy. That's awesome though! Glad yours went better than mine! haha This is for the boat right...

So this time around at the dyno I had goods and bads. I had got a set of 120lb Holley injectors used and they gave us nothing but problems. The guys at the dyno really don't like Holley injectors to begin with, but we definitely had some interesting fuel issues going on. We also blew an exhaust...

Nope haha. After I posted that I looked into it again, it was the Nittos getting 10,000 the MT are half that lol

I've thought about that as well. That was the only size that Nitto offered in the 315 (315/35/17). I can step down to a 305/45/17 which is a 28" tire vs my current 26", but I lose a little bit a width (like half an inch). Not the end of the world though, I can always step up to the Mickey...

Finally made it to an actual car show Saturday! Not super huge but probably 60 cars or so! It was nice to get out and see some other local hot rods! Some beautiful cars were there! Its been nice to get some miles on the car finally. Though I pulled it back apart Sunday to get it ready for the...

I actually don't remember what I found when I did quarters on this car. It was just a couple little things, but I was thinking about building a thin plywood piece that mounts to the seams with twist locks and is covered with headliner material or carpet or something. That way if I have a guitar...

Oh! Found a picture from when we arrived to the beach last Friday night lol Also, I took a pic of the trunk all loaded up with our stuff for the weekend. But does anyone know if there are supposed to be panels that go in the trunk at the edges. I have a wicked fear of something in the trunk...

Just bought a couple tools I didn't have to gear the axle myself. I've done them before, but they can be so time consuming especially without the right tools. Also bought some new setup bearings for the 60 so that should also really help. Probably wont do that until after the car is put away for...

Welp! Made it all the way to Hampton Beach and back with 0 issues! 2.5 hours each way. On the way down I cruised at 70 to 75 and got 18mpg! On the way home I pushed it at 80 to have a comparison with the new gears and got 16mph. Which both are pretty good for an almost 800whp car! We ran to a...

Got the reverse lights figured out last night. Apparently putting the trans back in, I had pinched one of the wires for the lights, then doing so blew the fuse. When I put the new fuse in, it must have not made contact well because then it through me for a loop since they still didnt work. After...

Updates and story time! Story time first. There was a local parade this last Saturday in town so I took the Model T and my dad took the Duster. I live on the edge of town so in a normal car to down town is about 15 20 minutes, but in the Model T doing 20-30 it took us a bit longer, but drove...

Been driving the car every day I can pending rain to try to get some miles on it before the 3 hour trip next weekend to the beach! Getting it aligned next Friday. Need to drop the tank still to fix the damn filler neck grommet that leaks when the tank is full, lengthen my clutch rod a little bit...

Thats sweet! When I did my car we had to do both full real quarters, rockers, remove the vinyl top and fix the roof and fix the lower part of the front fenders lmao. Doors and tail panel were rust free but dented lol. Soo you've got a fantastic start right there!

Awesome!! At least you've got a super solid car to start with. Shes gonna be the coolest kid in school!
