Hell yeah, brother, you're on the please before on YouTube channel. All right! Brian Wolf came in clutch with the oil pan and he just overnighted us his tensioner which was a major piece that we needed. So we're gonna have an accessory dive. We're gonna have an alternator and a water pump.

We gotta start it up today. Yes sir, how's your wiring coming along? Pretty good actually getting there. Yeah, mainly the harness is laid. just have to lay the big power wires.

Put a couple connections. cool. Get her done. all right guys.

Here's the official pack out on Mullet's trailer. We got the box so I moved it up here because it needs to be accessible. We got all kinds of stuff: Safety: Gear Pro Jacks Fans That box back there has tons of spare parts, spare alternator, fuel, all our stuff charging up a bunch of Lat, engine oil and transmission fluid. We're gonna need that all our Milwaukee stuff.

Some cones keep people out the pit stuff, cleaner hands stuff. check the suspension, some air tools and spark plugs and oil filters. That is it. We are good to go and a scooter of course this thing's been charging all my Milwaukee batteries up.

Oh she's down to 90 also guys. PP Exterior: we got a little Nardo gray wrap to match the El Camino with the McFarland racing logos on it looking clean. Project Prime obviously making it happen for us. Well you know you're getting close to fire up when you put the fluid in so we just put some trans fluid in the link.

All you have to do each pack individually. so we did all five. We're about to put some lat in the Bruno and then we do a burnout on the list. All right guys.

Well, the rear end has oil trans as oil. Bruno has oil. engine has oil and check this out. We got our PST chromoly drive shaft down here thing.

fits perfectly a little bit to spare. They luckily had a Blanco yoke in stock the puppies on there. not very long. Not the longest drive shaft you've ever seen.

But helps it? uh, not explode? I guess Oh yeah, we got levers back. brother. Do Not touch that starter. Don't touch it.

No, no, no no, no, don't hit it yo. Okay, all right levers are forward. Well, she ain't been long enough. All right, You wanna keep ribbon? Yeah, yeah, you're right here for like 15 seconds.

We just did a timing check and it does, uh, have some sort of timing. Not really sure what timing what there is. The light was flashing on the timing light. Did you take it or add it? It moves the mark.

Yeah. I Mean something's working right? We got haltech guys here so we know something cool is going to happen. You want to run a verbal SWOT Analysis Verbal SWAT Strengths: We got them weaknesses. None of them opportunities.

All of them threats ain't none. All right. plug that in Zach Let's go. Where's your fuel tank at Buddy? Uh, invisible.

It's right there. We're gonna install that. We need race fuel. Yeah.

I Think we're ready. This is gonna be a vacuum link. Do you want those plugged in? Yeah. Plug that unit in.
Yeah. Plug it in. You can just put that into here Plumbing That unit in. Throw the timing line in the trash.

This is. McFlurry Fire Up. Attempt Number one. We have no oil feed to the turbos.

James is going to be watching Dude I Crank what we've done Dude. I'm already getting a small puddle of oil out of there. Are you really? yeah? Okay Cool! So we might have found a oil port on the side of the block that's going to give us an oil feed for our turbos. so we're gonna fire it up for just a short second.

James You wave it off if you got oil coming out of there. All right here. Foreign first: Godzilla Fire Up in the shop? Come on. Oh, that's too easy.

No oil. Is it spraying though? No, it's like I could see a rise and I just start at the. Sprint Okay, all right, it's making some noises down there. Definitely clearance in our bell housing.

Oh flywheels hitting the bell housing sounds cool. Sounds like a freaking LS Basically it's a giant LS it sounds like an LS with a little bit of Ford it's got that Ford firing Yeah, it's like designed with that Ford Firing order. Yeah, that's weird. It was like a little smaller the head seal.

That's cool. A lot of Turbo spoolage going on too I Like that sounds real good giving her some blade. Come on thumbs. Want this thing to idle triple? Oh you do not have oil for the turf ski so let's not get it.

Yeah I Know you know We can spray some WD-40 in here? Yeah, put some W drip some oil in there. Really taking shape now guys. we got wheels on. race pump spot will be like this and then we'll have another hose with the filter that was like a job full.

Gonna be over here whittling up a bracket. Well guys, it's getting real late. it's like 3 A.M and we don't have the race system done. so we we're gonna hop on the dyno and just Dyno this thing on pump gas which is not going to make nearly as much horsepower as it will when we're on a race gas.

we're just on pump gas 93. We're just gonna try and make five or six hundred, make sure the car actually does something it can run and drive and then after sick week we can go back on the dyno. But because we have the Haltech guys here now we're just gonna try and get this thing on the dyno and shake it down a little bit. Long night slash early morning, you better be taking us to Waffle House after this dude.

the little Awful Waffle Looking really good right now. It is very loud. Yeah, our fan is not wired up yet so she's probably trying to get away. We got an air bubble.

Well the fans. We don't have a fan either. I only drive long enough to get 220. I think it's circulating water so we didn't floor it though.

Dude I was there trying to put a transmission fluid. That's probably something. It's not happening. Oh, give me a heart attack, son.
Now now we got the bubble out. Yes more. I've seen that going there. it is.

Ah I know what he was doing. He was getting her wet to get her a nice good wipe down. We were all ready, always thinking ahead. I thought the spoon slipped out.

That baby is thirsty huh? Yeah, golly that sound that's can I fire back up, jack stand a little bit of water, a little bit of trans fluid. yeah I can add this last one or more when it's running. All right. Thank you Foreign.

The video like I had it backwards and you guys were shifting from this side. I you got actually turns out I think you guys had it backwards because all the videos I saw shortest Rod shifted first so you go from the forward reverse to the next one all the way forward. So actually and like all day yesterday, I was pulling them this way. but it's actually going to be second gear, third gear, fourth gear fifth gear.

So let's test it out so let's see if it even move. I mean let's see if we can get something. I'm just gonna do this one right for forward reverse. Yeah, first first thing fire in the hole.

Oh dude, here we go. let's go test. it's grinding brother because we don't have the trans brake right now. we'll have to start it in reverse or forward now.

I'm in Reverse So if I started converter seems tight, it's gonna be totally different on the ground. Just put me down a little more practice going to the Dino. clear out the left arms. oh they're they're clearing out bro.

this is really about to happen right now. Let's go. Okay, it looks so funny. Yeah, you know what? I Just realized what this car has no Park oh there's nothing.

there's no, it doesn't. We're gonna have to bring James wheel chocks with us. literally. we're rolling here.

Well that's interesting all right. Well it's dark, none of the lights are hooked up yet. But all right. McPlay Let's go Dude.

I Cannot believe it. It's like 4 30 in the morning right now. Big Glory is going are the title. She looks good, looks good.

Let's go with the paint strike. Okay shoot baby got that pinstripe to be honest. I have no idea how Lenko works, but I'm pretty sure you use the trans brake a lot when you're like stopping and changing gears because that's how you slow down the gearbox. But once it's in gear and there's weight on the converter, you cannot take it out of drive or reverse.

So I think that's why the trans brake is so crucial. So we might need it to be on the left because you kind of like I don't know, it's weird. yeah or you can just do this. but it's it's very weird.

I'm so excited to pull gears on the dyno right now. Yeah, I'm in neutral. you're good. No, it's not in park James how are we gonna Park this thing with no Park All right, no boost controller so this will just make whatever the wastegates will make which they're set with six pound Springs and I'm gonna use third gear so that would be foreign.
Well if you have three levers back, you'd be about a 140 or 170. you want a 170 or 140. as the one to one would give us the most accurate number one, let's go. 140 is a little lighter load, won't make as much boost probably.

Yeah. I Go 140. All right my fans. Jack stand.

let's do this thing. Fans Fan: No! Ass Fan Oh yeah, big dog contact. Yeah baby. I Got the wide band.

You get the gas pedal good. Oh I'm gonna pull my Legos it's just pump gas guys. don't expect any crazy numbers. All right I'm horsepower don't matter here.

we just need anything. Anything where it rolls off, the rollers in one piece are good. Another page yeah that might be it. My band's on the right.

There you go I got it. Oh yeah, so y'all are gonna be wheel chocking. We're gonna need that equipped it with a parking system. Oh there's this park.

Is that a left-hand wheel chocker? Right here? It's actually Universal Ah so when I toss motor to manual wheel chock guy found his McFlurry to put us in park. We are going to have lots of McFlurries uh no no Hills remember that no Hills no Hills yeah no parking lot. We got real wake up and it'll be in the next parking lot. Hills We can't barely even go over speed bumps with this thing.

Are we ready? Are we ready? I mean he's sitting pretty ready. So cool. so cool. Thank you.

Empty! Oh my gosh, you made 550. 50 top 551 horsepower gas. Oh my gosh, uh-oh did you break it? no I don't know what I'm doing wrong I don't know what's happening Dude I Tried taking it out of high gear and it made a really scary sound. How do you get out of high gear? Do you have to stop? Stop.

Oh you have to stop. You can't downshift this to be downshifted and it's probably a good chance. It broke his break. If it went, it didn't It didn't do that.

What'd it do? It just went like like it was freewheeling like it sounded like a sprag freewheeling and then I put it back in the year and it was perfect. So all right. So stop. Clear it out.

Okay, all right, good to know guys. I thought you spun that mug made boost instantaneously. Yeah, you ain't gonna have to sit on the trans brake. it's gonna be a click.

You know what time it is I should have woke up for work an hour ago. My boss is gonna be fired up. Yeah he is I heard he's a dick and I got two hour drive home then a two-hour drive to work. So I'm a better way though wearing a transmission then to shift it wrong.

Yeah I mean I'm really hoping I don't go to grab this gear. it's missing it. But I have fans vibrating? Yeah, Oh, he got her on 18 volts. All right Brother 593 593 hit the Boost cut that was boost cut I didn't lift on that one engine protection so that's probably a lean protection.

So how much boost was it making when they cut off only five pounds of boost? Oh, six pounds of boost? What did I get to for RPM It's at fifty Three hundred. we're getting there. we're getting there. We'll probably try and make one more pull.
We just need to get all the way through a rip like 6 800 RPM and we're good. 600 ish. horsepower on pump gas is plenty for right now so let's see if we can get through this next rib. All right here we go.

High gear pull baby. foreign, foreign, did not make a ton of torque. That might be because I laid into it pretty late I kind of rolled in. We get some clean data right up here in these few cells.

and how much business was that? Six pounds of Boost, six pounds of boots, pounds of boobs making 7 30. on pump gas. we are on meth on all that it should be making. I would have known yeah, it's bigger.

Yeah, you can race on that all week. Really, we'll put it. we could put a bigger pump in it and just leave it on that. I mean we know the limitations is we're I mean sure, we can probably get away with it prepared a couple of times.

Yeah. Fuel system we designed for the drive. The fuel system that I didn't even think we were going to put on the dyno. Yeah, like 6am 6 a.m feed line 6 a.m return with the 340 like 40 dollar fuel pump.

All right. So I would call this a humongous success. It looks like McFlurry is in fact going to make it to sick week, but we have a lot to finish. We have to get to air working for the trans brake or the car is basically undrivable.

Unless you want to turn it off, turn it back on all the time. We got a great tune-up from the boys at Haltech. We got to work out some stuff for our race fuel system because we still want to do that and we definitely want to try and use methanol. But other than that, we're freaking.

We're in good shape so we all haven't slept and the Sun is getting ready to come up so we're gonna go home get some sleep. Come back. try and knock out these last couple things. Ty has to weld in some door bars.

We're gonna try and paint the case age so it doesn't rust too bad while we're out there. but all of our parts held together. the Bruno, the Lincoln all that stuff I was super worried about, but here we are. that's it for now.

Thanks for watching dude for the old freaking. See you later. We're doing it foreign.

    Have no idea how this transmission works. Do you even use clutch? It looks like he was just pulling all the sticks, do you even time it with the right rpm? How do you shift up and down gears?

    See you don't have to have a noisy ass fuel pump that will supply a lockheed jet engine in these cars i can't stand huge super loud fuel pumps it's way over kill and annoying to listen to i mean what 8 cyl engine needs a pump that could fill a swimming pool in 10 minutes

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars len walas says:

    My name is Len and i have a transmission company it's called Lenco. And when people say "hey Len!" I tell them "you will address me only as VAN HEY-LEN please!"

    Lenko shifters are called lightning rods guys. In the 80s and 90s all nhra pro stock cars were Lenko transmissions. Watch an old bob gliddon or Warren Johnson run

    So I know water bad for motor!!!! Maybe it needs a small splash shield so it can't suck water into the turbo when it over heats, ( not if )…

    Love the notch-back Foxes. I worked in Detroit in 97-98 all the guys with mod'd Ford's were Fox bodies. Ford had brought out the new platform by then with the 4.6L, but the old 5.0 Fox was still the car to run.
