actually, he said "minus the valve train, cam, carb and intake". So the heads and block is what he was talking about. When he said "like I said", he was referencing another video where he made that clear.One thing I cant follow, is he said he built the bottle rocket engine for 14 dollars....around here, 6 qts of oil and a filter kill that...not to mention his 1000 dollar roller cam setup it has. I cant understand his way of thinking on that.
I did not catch him mention that, if so, that definitely explains it. Its sorta like the magazine engine builds where they leave out tons of stuff to make it sound like a "budget" buildactually, he said "minus the valve train, cam, carb and intake".

I'm amazed at how much UTG is misquoted. 2nd time in this thread alone
He recently said how much he had into the whole car, and I forget the actual number but it was like 3700 or something. He now has a 8.75 with 4.56 gears if I remember correctly. I think he had it into high 13's according to the last 1/8 mile time. And keep in mind he calls this motor the mule motor and has said from the beginning he plans on blowing up 2 or 3 of the 318's to get to his final destination.... 10 second pass on a lot of NOS.I did not catch him mention that, if so, that definitely explains it.

LOL... I'm not a UTG campaign guy... LOL. but again, we need to keep the record straight and STOP the FAKE NEWSI am aware of all that.....his whole stated goal was to run 10s in the 1/4 mile with that engine and setup...he went into a lot of detail of why he used the little rear end, overdrive 4 speed and all. But he kinda keeps moving the goalpost...no doubt if he changes enough of the mismatched junk, he COULD eventually get it to run tens, but its pig slow so far. Gotta remember, it's just entertainment, definitely NOT a how-to series!

- I have followed Bottle Rocket closely as, you have stated, because it's entertaining. UTG stated from the very beginning, they planned on breaking parts and blowing up motors and this is how they will find the weak links and get to his goal. Tony has been very consistent with that line.
- He broke the rear end so he upgraded.
- He slipped the clutch, so he had the pressure plate tuned
- Now, he's made it plain, even in this last 318 video he plans on blowing the motor up as he pushes it further and further
Tony and Lamchops problem was all about talk on LC's channel and Tony feeling disrespected. I don't really know or care to find out. I don't have time for Soaps. As for me, I will always have 10 minutes to watch UTG make a pass in Bottle Rocket. Free entertainmentYou know...I think I actually watched a video of that car make some passes. I don’t recall anyone called lamb chop but I know whoever it was cant drive a lick. I also don’t remember UT verbally abusing anyone, but I may not have seen the video where that occurred.
What I do know is UT is woefully behind on clutch tuning.
I cannot understand what there's not to like about bottle rocket. A guy takes a car HEADED FOR THE JUNKYARD... (remember??) and throws a budget 318 in there, installs a 4 speed, and now 4.56 gears. He's taken it to the track, documented the progression, and for the love of me I don't understand why some people would have rather seen it get recycled into a Honda Fit.

The idea behind it was to build it in a storage shed or on the dirt like any good ole' boy could do. Then, take a guy that's never raced a stick and grassroots him into driving/racing a car like this into the 10'sSince you watch I’ll ask you. Why didn’t UT drive the car?? The guy I watched needed a powerglide. He just wasn’t a stick guy. I don’t even remember what the ET was be he was a second or more slow due to his driving.

I agree with his. It’s not easy going fast on a near zero budget and even more so when you have the world Criticizing! Every last move you make on your endeavor.How to gain the most fun for the fewest bucks.
Anyone with lots of $$$$ can buy lots of fun, but what IF you do not have all that $$$$ to throw around?
Right. And I don't care how much of the car is wrong or right, it's free entertainment from my couch!! LOL... i personally think the car is cool. He is also building a slant six to race. He just got the engine together. John Wilburn is building the 904 and is making a video of it on his channel. The slant six car is called "Plan Z" and he has it gutted down to about 2100 lbs. He just now took about 70 lbs out of the slant 6. Funny and fun to watch.Ok, that explains why he didn’t drive. If I was doing it I would have taken LC out of the street for several hours (like 10 hours) and taught him how to leave and shift before he got to the track. That would have been much easier on the driver.
Oh! That was missed. Good catch by 318WR.Ok, that explains why he didn’t drive. If I was doing it I would have taken LC out of the street for several hours (like 10 hours) and taught him how to leave and shift before he got to the track. That would have been much easier on the driver.
