I guess they were trying to build a stock 454. Well, they still built one weaker than stock. They threw a bunch of parts at it, and made 622HP. They did the same with a 460, and made around 600HP, too. Why couldn't they do that to the 440 they built and bragged about?

At least they get all the "boats" tight in the engines they assemble. And that clown of a machinist they have is something else. Ya ever see the one where they have the 455 on the dyno, and they keep screwing everything up, forget to put one whole side of plug wires on, stabb the distributor wrong like 3 times. Total morons...

I hate it when the blond moron starts talking, He needs to learn how to pronounce BOLTS, everything is boated together with ARP boats.....

Drives me batty

I caught part of the BBC build thing after the dyno run they said they were going to do BB Mopar... gee can't wait for the 230hp roller motor they are going to slap together.

No Crap, did you guys see the last budget 440 mopar that those clowns built.
I swear the showed the viewers how to disassemble a Pressed Pin and rod from a stock type piston with a torch...they heated that old LY rod cherry red...I swear as Im taking a breath of air this very second.
The used aggressive NON SR(stock replacement) heads for both the Chevy and Ford engines. They will probably drop the ball and use a set of Eddy RPM's against those other engines...I will be PO'd. The engine needs a set of Indy -1's and the contest...well there wont be no contest..
But leave it to those clowns to screw us up..
Sad thing is I bet Millions upon Millions of young and old viewers really think they know what they are doing.
Sad..very sad..

Why would you backhalf a fox mustang anyway? Like it or not they have one of the best factory suspension designs ever offered. We've got local guys doing 5.20-5.30's in the eight on nothing but bolt-on suspension parts....makes no sense to backhalf it

I quit watching these shows a year or two ago, I didn't like the comment made by the "sheet metal expert". We will go to commercial now and I'll be working ass off while you are working on an ass creese in you couch.
Now that's how to keep people watching..

I have a buddy who is a fabricator who used to
work for one of the SOCAL hot rod shops that
they used on TV.

He tells stories about how the "host" would
do work on one side of the project car, then
he would do the other side of the car, then
after the show was filmed he had to "redo" all
the work done by the TV host.....he made good
money for the work, but he said the TV crews
and host made the work not worth the $$.

LMFAO!!!!!

I thought I was the only one who was annoyed by that. I thought maybe it was just some funny southern type accent or something. But then again, I was talking to some girls at Pinks in Seattle and they told me I must be Canadian

Last show I seen on Spike was the Blown Small block Chevy in the Big Yellow S-10. All aftermarket engine, big heads, blower, duel carbs. First pass it just dipped into the 7's in the 8th mile LOL. I think they done some tuning, and it went mid to low 7's.

Before that I seen the last bit of a show, they was working on a 440 Mopar engine, it had floating bushed wrist pins. They was assembling the engine, and used a big ole Rose Bud torch heating the connecting rod red hot to assemble the pin....Those guys are total tools, its a shame Spike TV and Power block has such douche bags for hosts..




Yes,i remember those episodes best they could get was low 7's from a blown chevy..still laughing over that

The last time they "built" a 440 (the one I was talking about before), they used open chamber Eddys, and were delighted with the massive 400HP they made. Clowns. Their web site sucks. You can't find what you want. They tell you what parts were used in a build, like the 440, and I see a bunch of Chevy parts listed. It's just a site full of ads. The 440 was built for the Musclecar show's UFC 'Cuda. I'll say it again--25HP over stock. WOW!

Put Danica Patrick back on as the guest host and replace them guys with Jessi Combs ( the girl from 4x4 ) and atleast it would be worth watching

For chassis work they need that guy that was on with Boyd.I think his name was Al with the big moustache.One of the reasons he left Boyds was because they wanted to cobble everything together.Every time they built a frame he just shook his head and said thats garbage.He wanted to do it right but they just wanted it quick.Rocky

Yep, they've been supposed to do the "payoff" on the Mustang at the track for some time now. It's mysteriously disappeared from the show without going to the dragstrip...
