I watched the whole video and have watched a number of others , he or someone get these car running. I am just curious about the motor , heads and a completely custom valve train set up , could not have been cheap. Really curious as to exactly where the heads came from and who did the custom fab work. Also Viper , V10 rods in a 318 , hmmmmm.

The original V10 design was basically a 318 with two additional cylinders. I believe, originally it was designed that the bore and stroke were the same on both the 318 and the V10.

Hype, Fake Mystery = CLICKBAIT.
In a couple shots you can see the heads are simple pro comp/speedmaster castings. $450 a pair shipped on black fridays. Use there valves $100 or step up and use the Ferrea +.100 5000 series for about $240.
Machine off the stands and add on parts.
The viper stuff is keywork hype... org. V10 rods were nothing special then the newer ones are still cheap... six new rods and pistons on ebay currently for $225 shipped.
Sure a lil out of the box thinking but there are reasons others are not doing it and good grief... another burnout car. IMO it does not get any more foolish and a waste of money..but not mine so rock on.
The blind leading the blind like Unk Tony will keep the entertainment side of things going as its all it is. They get many followers and they make money..yea for them.
The good guys, the smart ones who take the time to show every step of complex builds and machine work are the real stars as they actually help people lean and do better. Sadly they get many less views.
When the world has come to youtube channels and hocking T shirts, ball caps and bumper stickers well...... The smartest folks I know in the building and machining world are most clearly not on youtube.
STOP POTATO HATE!
