Hell yeah brother, you're on the please before on YouTube channel. All right guys. We got them all fired up every day. We're still trying to iron it out so instead of going on a Dyno today guys, we're going right over to the track to try and make some hits before we leave for Texas So we're thinking like uh, 60 foot hit if you want to go a little further than that I feel like 100 foot 100 foot? Yeah! I can do that and then back up or just drive it back back up.

Be fine. I'm gonna take a look at what we got. Sounds good? All right to the track we go boys. Unreal.

Serious. some wrenches just in case. Okay yeah buddy. first trip, Smell it big old Pro Mod well brother, we're off brother.

we are on the road. Streetcar baby. SMX street car. yeah honestly never thought I'd ever wanted it.

Oh that is so good dial. we got good oil pressure. the water temp Le seems like our radiator is enough for now. You know? we won't really know until we're cruising down the road pulling a trailer one day.

But for racing I think we're definitely good. Yeah I am feeling good. it was good baby. well a lot got one.

Oh that's what that was. Okay dude, this is a bad news you know? not great because I know we're gonna sort that out today. got about one minute of lunch time. don't make a hit.

Come on Pete you got this one minute. Okay, no pressure on me Here we go. Oh gosh, let me get your socks. Yeah, exactly.

baseball. Let's build a little bit. yeah. I'm not gonna worry about that.

No, you're good. but you got to keep her lubed up a little well. I Don't want it to rush right? exactly I never got painted so that's a rust protection. It is dry some dude.

Hell yeah. What do you think? Pete ready should do? Something cool? Yeah, yeah. all right. I'll hop in.

We'll just do this little rip. This is possibly the biggest moment of your whole entire life. Are you fired up right now? I'm fired up I mean don't expect much on this first run. It might not even do a burnout.

Yeah, but it's gonna sound good trying. I Think so. All right I'll see you down there. Oh oh like it was nothing dude.

Are you kidding me? Oh man, this is crazy I Cannot believe we just did a burnout flawlessly Tune-up dialed. Here we go: A little hundred foot. oh boy. Nice little one.

360 foot huh? That thing wanted to eat something 134 is 60. coming out of it real slow and that was grabbing this brother I mean effortlessly burned out. That's brother. Glad we didn't use our qualifier Tx2k to do that.

That was pretty solid I mean it really wicked up once I got out there about? yeah, it did 50 feet. Dude, that was good. That was great. Did it did it burn out? Yeah.

let's check for leaks and we'll try again once. Pete puts tune up in it. holy Toledo I did uh just pull the cap. it only used about this much so that's good.

Just to tick farther he says Jackson's getting you some water in the water box. This is this is really happening I Cannot believe we made it. This is crazy. We're here testing I think it's safe to say we've never been this prepared.
Oh she looks good. foreign baby steps. there's mullet fires up so fast now. crazy.

Oh yeah, 122 the 60. a little better on that one. 122 the 60s dude she's she's gonna be soon. Yeah whole car stood up like it's about the Power Wheels it's loving, life loving life.

All right. Pete Turn it up, let's leave on 40. All right, full rip Pete You're real good at some stuff, you know it man. it would take us like 362 tries.

Yeah, this one. this one's coming around quick there he is. Buddy 122.60 Yeah 60 I think came alive at 100 feet. Yeah it was kind of starting to pop the bag and then right when I lifted it it was starting to clear up and I felt it accelerate.

but I was like oh man. Also, my steering wheel is not like I don't think oh yeah I see how it's slid up? Oh yeah, that's Buddy. you know, Real solid. It's been quite a week, but that right there I know it's fast I Feel like I've been sleeping all week I'm feeling so good right now.

That's the best man. When it comes together just a little bit, it's like oh yes I mean that looks good. It felt good, it looked good and I don't think it was even. no.

let's go dude, how much boost did we make out there? Pete made a grand total of 23. careful yeah, we've only got about 50 pounds to go. Really leaning on it? yeah pushing it hard. Wow.

sweet, everything looking good just trying to piece together what you can type deal. Yeah the fuel is just all over the place but yeah I've cleaned it up. Look what we got here bud? Well this is a handy dandy filter thingy revolver that lets you that has like a visible filter so if you have any metal shards or anything weird going on it immediately catches it right here. and then there's a little window so you can see it but you got to blow air in it to clean the oil out.

We're gonna see if we can do it. Shine the lights all right. Go ahead man. definitely got some crap.

Definitely got some shavings on there. Good thing we have that because we just found some potential bearing material in it. calling. Steve he said he's not super concerned but he wants us to take it out, clear out the material, and then run the car again and see if it picks up more material, but there's definitely some junk in the Clearview Filter was not ideal.

at least we checked. Yeah I Know that was a very good call. Our engine does not pass the liability line yet still under warrants buying electronics at Best Buy Like if you drop your laptop right outside the liability line, you gotta pay for it. Yeah, technically we're still down past that line.

All right. Bud She's all cleaned up. Give her a little good luck, kiss. Slap her in there.

All we can do, test it back up and try again. Don't worry, it's fine. those injectors are so loud there ain't really anything on it. Run too long I Got to make it all hit and see what it picks up.
Take it back out, get a good look at it. This engine could have had a bearing on the way out and when he took it and refreshed it, it might not have cleaned up galleyways very well. All right, All right baby, here we go. Fire me up.

1 14 to the 60 foot Holy Ground Holy crap. Okay, I Was not expecting that on the third pass. That felt like maybe the best 60 foot this car has ever had. Do you never know it's Pete he's a loose cannon I Did not think he had it turned up like that.

Damn. Geez. Louise Roll to it 888 What the heck? Golly, we got JT 114 one of the 60 296 at 3 30 and rolled to a 471 at 123. Oh my goodness, let's hope the Clear View is clear.

Clearview has a clear view. Maybe Pete can do this ones and twos. Oh man she is. Gonna Roll Wow.

We can send her to the eighth under power one time and then put the thing in the Box Yes sir, no faster than that in the 60s? No, no, we don't need to. but you know, like you want to. Yeah I know anything past like that? 114 113 Mark I think it's real it. don't like it? Yeah I bet in Houston it won't take that.

Yeah 471. Holy crap, hey, do you got you a Pro Mod Buff 296. That's a link. six numbers off our best 330 ever.

Holy Pete what are you doing bro. He said he's just he's just babying it I think my boy Pete had it cranked up golly. All right. Well, hell all right.

moment of truth though. we gotta see if we got any metal in the oil. You know if a bearing didn't get sat in there right? Which can happen, you know? Now we gotta see if it's got a bunch of crap on top of that filter. Yep, yeah.

I mean there's a little bit of stuff, but it ain't like crazy you know. I was talking to Steve though. he's like I'll come slap some bearings in that thing. It seems like we gotta pretty damn good tune-up already.

It's the worst case. We throw this thing in the trailer and Steve said I'll meet us in Texas All right, Well, aside from the negative stuff that was our first 330 and how much boost we running 27. 27 pounds to go. almost our personal best, that's pretty good, that's pretty sure.

Now we just need to figure out this issue with Steve Sounds confident about it, so you know I'm not going to worry too much, but we'll get it over to the shop and see what he wants to do. All right guys. Well, the good news is this thing's making a ton of power. Bad news is we got some metal.

More good news is these pans are really easy to take off these Pro Mod style engines. There's no pickup tube or anything weird to try and maneuver around. you. just take off those two lines the perimeter bolts, then you got to pop it past silicone.

But it's really not too bad compared to the other deal. so we'll get her down pretty quick. Terrain's still pretty good too. Lowest point here.
Yeah, okay. Oh wow. it doesn't look horrible. That looks good.

See where some of that metal was pumping through and then you got some copper right there. But you know Pete's saying that could be from the radius of the actual journal on the crank. Oh I mean this isn't this. This isn't any anything.

Yeah, see anything weird yet? No. I mean honestly, I would just keep keep pulling them off because we see something. Okay, okay guys. Well we pulled the main bearings and they all looked good.

so that's going back together. Now we are going to pull the Caps off the rods, take a look in there. we're picking up a bunch of big pieces of bearing we just starting to. oh Ty What's your theory? I'm thinking that this is old bearing from before the motor got refreshed.

This theory is backed by the fact that this is the actual engine that we bought from. Steve We bought the one that threw eight rods had extreme damage and has since been repaired and that's why we're kind of chasing this Theory now. So I'm hoping that's all. I Love that theory.

But yeah, I mean that's the seat that's the cheapest Theory we got right now. That's right. What? Rod Are we on now? This is eight out of so I've done one, two, five, six. I'm on eight and seven now and they all look like that.

They all look like this. please? where the hell is this coming from? Yeah, yeah, that's Samsung drawer right there. Well keep going I guess up above it, keep going. If you find something cool, just let me know it's not cool if we find something.

Yeah, okay, let's just hope it's debris. yeah. I Really love Ty's Theory I'm all in on Thai Siri I'm banking on your theory brother, dude. Yeah, we need a break.

What started as an amazing video of us almost going our personal best on 27 pounds of boost 27. to now we have opened up all the main bearings and all of the rod bearings and found nothing that is frightening, right? I think there's still a warranty after I went through and torqued it? Yeah, we're not past the liability line yet. Okay Pete Did you see anything in there that you think could have caused all of that? No, we saw some, you know, trash pushed into the bearings, but nothing that was like a source of it. Yeah and everything we looked at and then we just checked the thrust on the crank and that's also good.

So well, it's 15 foul which I guess that's what he says it should be okay, which is what Steve said should be That all being said, maybe Ty's theory is correct and there was just trash I Guess we have to keep in mind that at one point this engine had all eight rods blown out and then C put it back together and started driving it and he took it on sick week and then gave it to us and it has the same bearings in it from then. So hopefully what I'm saying in all this is that this is just trash from when it blew up. I Don't know I Mean we went through everything we can reach. We can't reach the cam bearings obviously, but what are the odds of a big block cam bearing going out? Really unlikely I Doubt that's it.
Very unlikely. So guys, we're going to Tx2k. We're putting mullet back together. Expect some freaking Ripper passes.

We gotta get this thing slapped together and get these boys on the road. That's it for now. Thanks for watching. Do it for now.

We're freaking see you later. Foreign.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J G says:

    Any OG Mullet fans on here remember when it was going to be a jet car but Cleetus decided it was just a little too sketchy? I wonder how close the E.T. on the SMX is compared to what the jet would have been.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TSAV says:

    It’s more than likely old bearing material it’s extremely hard to get all of that shit out

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars End Government Extremism says:

    Well, if those pieces are indeed bearing (which seems to be the consensus) then it's probably just crap that got flushed through the system after Steve rebuilt it and ran it again. That was a lot of debris he was left with… it's not unreasonable that something hid out in a line somewhere.

    Does another 200k subs for Steve mean another SMX engine? Get all the horse torques for the entire fleet?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cleetus McFarland says:

    We investigated the entire engine and found nothing… Steve is meeting us in Texas, cross your fingers we don’t have any major issues!!!
