Hell yeah, brother. You're on the please before on YouTube channel. Well well. well.
if you aren't digging into the Holly stuff bud, what are you doing? You know nothing. You know nothing. You know we aren't even here yet. We aren't even here yet.
We're sneak peeking. Well, you have been working on the car wiring. Look at this. We've got the fans hooked up.
You got the lights wired in, dude, turn signals ready to rip. We're just waiting on those comments to come in. So basically all that stuff that Chevy had here, we don't need it. That's all.
it's like. reduction, exactly. You got a relays, got some fresh wires. so this is pretty much everything for the body on the front half of the car.
So we'll wire the body completely. So that way the body is its own unit and then we'll wire the engine after. So if you want to take the engine out or engine swap it later, it's a lot easier because everything's already got a solid foundation. Run everything right through the factory hole there.
Dude, that's gonna be clean. All right. We got the Dominator it up. This is the transmission harness running back through here.
Got a little drama for that. All right guys. This is how you know it's really hot in Florida when your wiring guy has not one, not two, but three fans. Dude, you're lucky.
I got my shirt on. Please keep that on dude. We'll get you another fan All right before you have to take it out. How's your wiring going buddy? It's looking pretty dang good.
Uh, we're moving along pretty good. Feel good about it? probably Monday or Tuesday what is this? There's this Leroy's you stole it out of Leroy Senior Oh no. Senior has the short one this has. Oh yeah, they're going just like Leroy with the bar mounted switches and they are waterproof, right? Yeah, okay.
good. It's all potted all right. Damn. so they got fuel pump fan I mean some of these we're not going to use pretty slick.
Did we buy this for Leroy We've actually had it on the shelf for a while. it was going to go into McFlurry but then we went to Altec Oh true, prematurely. Yeah. But then the house.
heck did everyone got it all right? Well that's cool. That's perfect. Turn signals, horn, headlights, headlights are working. Yeah, you got a turn signal on the left here.
Okay, it's flashing. Dang brother. All right guys. So Zach has been working really hard on the wiring.
Jack stand already has the RPM level 6 transmission in the back of Leroy Jr And as you can see, we got axles in this puppy. We got the exhaust back on. Oh brother, you got Leroy's old tail lights. Saved them man.
throw these things out. Oh yeah, clean dude. All right. we're putting some little bullet Mufflers on it too.
Yeah, just so it doesn't blast everyone's ears. it is crazy. When you throw a blower on it's going to be real. You want to be real loud.
So what are you thinking? What I'm thinking is right before where it dips back down. that kind of right here. Yep, right where that Line's at. we cut that. we throw this in here I'm cool with that and then we'll have a little exit right now. Like it nice and clean. The OG tail lights. it literally looks like Leroy It's weird.
It's really weird I actually have that old like there it is. Yeah, so this is actually two C7 undercarriage braces that I got from Jeremy way back when. so we'll put that over this dude. that's really gonna bring it together.
Hell yeah. that's gonna be sweet. And up front the engine is really coming together. so check this puppy out brother.
Oh, your header's on. I mean it's it's there. Your dial missing an intake? The LS1 intake does not bolt to an LS3 Hey, you know what? I think the intake intake is here. It's here.
Okay I think it's that big box over by my truck. That's where we're at. All right. we got catch Can dang look at that.
They're getting the Motion Raceworks catch can on there race. Works Expansion: Wow. that's the nicest coolant thing I've ever seen on Leroy Fill it right Seniors isn't even that nice I know. All right.
sweet. Whoever wins this also, you know they get them clean. Tie: Wells Yeah well. with that, you don't even gotta tell me.
Ty Well is that brother I know you or I didn't Yeah as well. So a fuel system to here Plumbed? Yeah. got some goodies back there. We got the Dual 450s.
yeah, dual intake 450s all custom made and then uh, feeding an air motive regulator back there that mounts like Factory uses Factory Lawns and everything clean. All right guys. Before we unbox Leroy Junior's intake I Want to remind you you guys can win this car or an aerial atom. It's a Winner's Choice and all you got to do is sign up is go to Clespron.com pick out some merch.
every five dollars you spend gives you a chance to win. You know this or the aerial atom. but let's go unbox our intake. Oh that's a heavy intake dude.
come on man. hurry up dude. Read the label dog Whipple brother as a way to Leroy Junior You're gonna run with that one too. Oh yeah, we're on weight loss challenge except for Leroy Jr he's in a weight gain challenge.
Did I learn some uh two Hefty sized boxes guys. We got two very large boxes from Whipple Superchargers. We had to bring Leroy Jr into the Boost category. so calling up Whipple I Really like their blower on the F-150 we gave away last year.
It sounded sick and it was really fast. So I saw they had a Corvette kit I was like brother, can we get one of them They built one out and here it is. You know the giveaway ends pretty soon So we all have a ton of times. We're hoping this thing's like they sell them as a bolt-on kick so we're hoping it's not like a ton of work.
Hopefully this is the blower box and Chrome gets her home. That's all. I'm gonna say oh come on, look at that unit Chrome Baby Sick. You know we could have powder coated it but we were like it's the Crown Jewel yeah I mean it's front and center. it's gonna stick up. Oh is that intake that's already on it good. Yep. I can set it right on the car.
That's the whole deal right there. Set it right on there. it'll pick her up. Oh we gotta remove that.
yeah. I Don't want to blow your throttle body over that. Oh dude, is it gonna fit? Oh it fits. No way.
Let's go. Zach look at this thing. dude. do you see it from in there? Oh yeah yeah.
Put it in here dude. Yeah dude. Good thing we don't have to worry about a hood. Hell yeah.
I'm glad we don't have to cut that bar. Yeah, let's take this barking stay. Oh it's Gotta Go Gotta Go back a little more back a little bit but not much. not much.
It's got clearance right here. Yeah Oh, is that the water ports for the That's pretty cool. This is not original Leroy equipment right here. This bar could be removed if we have to.
Yeah no it's it's underneath the gallon which that is fresh. Sam's gonna have a Heyday Sam You see this? Come over here brother Sam Check this puppy out brother. What's she thinking about That is that for me? look I already put fingerprints on it. Oh what? Wow! looks like it's gonna fit.
So this is actually a C6 system for an LS3 Luckily we have an LS3 ported engine from Texas Speed so we're making the C6 kit fit on our C5 of the motor I dress it all with C6 yeah components. So this way it's got a brand new C6 water pump ATI balancer stuff like that. Yeah, we did go with the ATI balancer to make it legit. Yeah, so it should in theory both ride up.
All I can say is that looks freaking sick. Okay so we got a bolt to pulley on there and then that pulley looks like it's gonna line up perfectly. Yeah, it probably takes a pulley maybe a pulling an adapter right here. Yeah, dude, that is killer.
All right. So now we just gotta check if the fuel rails plug into the stock system which I think they might and I like how we have the coils mounted right on the valve covers that just keeps everything kind of stock. like yeah, custom spark plug wires if you do burn One Up in the future Yeah! I don't love that we had block out our Texas Speed valve covers because those were sick. But this will be the most simple way for someone to get this car and be able to maintain it on their own.
All right. So that's the blower. Our big old 2.9 liter Whipple Supercharger Gen 4 Whipple Right here. That's a unit.
Yes sir. Look at that thing. You know it spins the gearbox in there. All right.
We're gonna need to pull away this thing. Yeah, no. they stand multiple pulleys. We got a party pulley.
We got a cruising pulley. Open up this box and see what else we got to put on this car. Ty What do you think about that blower brother. She's so shiny that's an aerial atom eater I Know Ariel at him. What? More like a bug on that windshield water tank for the intercooler? Oh fancy. Let's go ahead and give that time. It's a bolt-on kit. dude.
just bolt that on right there. that onto the factory body. It's our heat air, the water heat exchanger that's big. Give that your tie as well.
that is big so that makes the brake booster work with it. Maybe I mean I kept I Kept the brake booster there so we could have a functioning brake booster. so now we have a way to hook it up. I Ain't got to figure something out.
That's the beauty of a kit. Bolts right on and if someone ever needs a part, they can get it. Heat exchanger Jack Shaft cover so you don't get your fingers stuck in your blower? Rod Oh classy dude. Cover your jack shaft guys.
Yeah, keep your jack shaft covered. You know what happens when you don't cover your jack shaft? You don't want to know? Give that to. Ty I Think we got some wiring harness stuff. Oh Zach you didn't even have the wire.
Now we're obviously doing a completely custom wiring job on the car. so this stuff not me. Oh okay. Throttle body adapter.
We got oil for the blower. Good stuff. Yeah, pulleys, injectors, spark plugs, even. just hand me the smallest one.
That's yeah, this is a full kit man. they got everything in here anymore because they'll do a whole car. What's up? You got plug, wires, extra plugs. Oh that's for the O2s.
All right. So some stuff we're gonna use some stuff we're not. Oh dang, oh, are you put it out? That's your tensioner dude. Serious unit.
First things first: we're gonna start bolting things down, getting things wired up. I mean Zach's getting some really good progress. Jack Stand pretty much has this thing mechanically dialed, but by the end of the day tomorrow we'll be really close. We'll know where we're at.
So we got Nate coming in to tune it. so we just got to start putting stuff together and we'll get this thing running. sooner or later we're out here with the carbon cubsky doodle. All right.
So I'm lined up with the telephone pole a little early. Oh dude, those brakes are insane. That's what I was just saying I Gotta be careful because the props I Know man, no bueno that prop touches. You get a prop strike and then you really really? just not in a good position.
There's a lot of stuff up. Oh yeah, you got you got four inches still? Yeah, yeah, you're you're not going I think no I mean you still gotta go quite a ways. Yeah. I mean I mean right there if I'm like this dude, you should know by that point, well breaks my slammed on them like all of my body weight.
You couldn't even hold the tail off the ground. I mean you could barely do a run-up So these I mean you're using just a little bit of blood pressure. Look at those units. dude.
Oh, look at all the heat. Oh yeah, that's serious. How was I on touchdown point? you were just slightly maybe 10 feet before thing is just idling. Oh way early. What a nice landing. Oh money. Ah, you landed dead on the line that time. Oh no, is that what happened I Locked up, skirted.
he's skirting. That's crazy so it'll actually lock them up. No. ABS No ABS dude, You serious.
Unreal. Wow. I'm gonna have to do some training with these brakes. Really? Yeah.
I'm gonna hit up my uh instructor because he used to do this stuff. so they like if I mess up with these breaks. I'm either gonna get a prop strike or ground Loop which is like if you run with a shopping cart in Reverse you know how it'll spin around. it flips around.
so I gotta be careful dude, that's that's interesting. I mean you're on the ground so you're gonna be okay. You're gonna damage a plane if you really mess that up. The brakes and gear are awesome.
I'll do one more Landing then we'll pull it in. Yeah, okay, sweet yeah, you were dead on the line on that one too. That's a bummer. I just had to abort like I was just trying to do a quick stop and I was like ah, let me just roll away.
Good call. he scratch the Cub I'll be fired up. Hmm. butter All right.
So we got a lighter battery, lighter landing gear, more brakes. Freaking Cub is dialed. We got a lot more short takeoff and Landing training to do because we had an upcoming project and I'm going to have to stop very short. That's all I can say for now and take off short but very short so we'll get to that soon.
Foreign.
