Damn, the sheer length of that 4-dr Impala. Even though they were sort of 'around' 90s decade even, plus the fact you rarely even see 2000s era 'full-size' cars anymore. Looking at it makes it seem as if they were 5 feet longer than how you remember them.

You still love working on cars when you can trust the replacement parts are good. Too many unnecessary electronic modules get in the way and take up space with unnecessary wires, sensors, relays, fuses, etc. An electric recliner that moves slower than pulling a plastic handle?

cant wait for the live engine build!

Dude! A shot at Kiwi! Well, I’m from Queens so F’em…

a live engine build, that's what I want to absorb!

Are those Eagle Alloy wheels or c5?

Howdy Ducky Hehehe, 454 or more!

I am a chevy guy. I watch Tony because he is old school real deal. Tony is going to build a chevy drift car. This will be comical i can't wait.

uncle tony you are a wealth of info keep up the good work .

LGTM

This is a truck version of the incredibly successful Prius. And the Ramcharger won’t have an expensive transmission.

Tony....I am an honest man and cannot tell a lie...unless it's to the wife where have I been from 10pm to 430am the next day. Any-hooo I did Not repeat did Not see this project coming and turning into this! And I couldn't be more happy. "Drifting a 4 door 67 Impala with a big block sounds like our everyday commute to high school back in the day. Anything less exciting than throwing the big block around with tires ablaze was such a normalized process that if anything less happened on the way to school meant somebody's dog died. When you added the N2O giggler to the equation I simply said "when can you start and when can we see it shred??

Keiichi Tsuchiya the drift king said you can drift anything

Tony's right. Those wheels really, really suck.

Good video. Classic VW bug motors are magnesium but I wanna try that butane torch method on them.

There's a guy on social media who drifts a full size Mopar from the 70s. Can't remember his name but that would be cool to see the Impala do the same

It's really weird hearing a brittish accent speak in cubic inches.

If you're gonna go Rat, you need to go RAT with a 502. The question is can that old Impala hold up to a Rat motor on the bottle?

Heck yea! This is my kinda build mate!

👌👌👌

You only need a locked differential to drift.

Hey Tony, maybe fix my MGB roadster for me 😊

You're gonna need about 1000hp to make that lead sled drift. LOL Y'all do know, building the front end on that dinosaur is gonna be the real nightmare, right? Especially having to carry that humongous power plant around.

Finally an interesting build. 🎉🎉🎉

At least Ducky admits to not knowing what he's doing with an engine as opposed to ol' lunar and Wilbur. he thought he had cleaned everything to a high standard.. he thought wrong.. and JW, well.... 6 hours to scrape gaskets with a pocket knife was just embarrassing and showed the world he didn't know what he was doing.

Awesome story of the rise, fall and rise of the Charger. I'm 33 and I have been a die hard car enthusiast since I can remember. When I was a kid, I loved cars in general but never had a favorite car, or car type, until one day my mom got me a magazine of classic cars. From all different styles and origins...but one of all 100 cars was unforgettable...it was a 1968 Dodge Charger. That car had something so unique to me, it just stood out from all others...there were Corvettes, Mustangs, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsches, etc., but the Charger was different. Since then, I got more interested in the car, and then the 1st Fast and Furious movie came out, and I saw the Charger again, but on VHS this time. From all Imports, once again the aggressive style was my favorite. I then became more curious in knowing the history, versions, of the Charger. It just became my all time favorite car. Although my experience was with the 68 and 70, my favorite is the 1969...for the same reasons mentioned by Uncle Tony. After this, I got into the Muscle Car world, specially Mopars in general. I currently own a Dodge Dart, love the other Mopars also...but the Charger is my dream car and all time favorite.

It ain't going to work with those disgusting GHETTO wheels on it. I wouldn't even stand close to that thing with it looking like that. I've built LOTS of small block Chevys. But I know very little about big blocks. They are more at home in a large car, and I like mid size cars. I fell in love with the small block Chevy at age 19, when my Dodge 318 blew up and I traded it for a Chevy. Now 65, and still love old school small block Chevys. Got three of them. There is nothing that cannot be done with a small block Chevy. But those wheels have to go.

I don't think nitrous and drifting are a good idea

I remember a time when everyone used Salamander heaters that used Diesel fuel. Of course the government put a stop to that

I have been drifting cars and trucks for years and I didn't think drifting was going to happen on this channel😮

a star is born...

I open up the garage door about 2 feet and have the heater just outside blowing hot air at me. You need ventilation

What's a drift car?

It might be a handfull to drift. Any drifting fullsize american car will stand out from BMWs or nissans on the track tho. Idea is great.

I like this guy uncle tony ,he knows there is no substitute for cubic inches and knows who can make this a fun project. Does he know kiwi ? Lol

It's rated at 3800LB. I've had several 67 Imp's the big block car was rated at 4200LB. I had 2 4drs and 2 2drs but only one was a big block a 2dr 427 cu. Ci. 390 hrs with a power glide. For some reason it ate a bunch of trans's after I got the car. But it was a lot of fun 😁 👍

YES YOU DID HARBOR FREIGHT IS GREAT YOUR TO LATE

Don't forget the fuel injectin

I had a similar experience I had a 3:27 with the old 3030 cam in it. I had a 600 double pumper and I decided I wanted to try the 750 double pumper. When I put the 750 on it was a little more sluggish when you hit the gas but I could actually feel by the seat of my pants that on the top and it actually pulled more than the 600. It was the same thing according to the books it was way over carbureted and only putting out about 375 horse but I could literally feel by the seat of my pants it definitely pulled stronger on the top end with the 750 although at idle rich and was more doggy off the line it certainly made more power top end anyway.

This will be fun! And YES... Those wheels BLOW! lol

Excellent🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Uncle Tony, I've built more stock Mopar motors then I can count. But, I've never built a hotrod motor. My 57 chevy has a steal crank 327 ready to build but not just yet. I'm happy I was right about the exhaust cam lobe gone but still wanna learn from ya. Cheers buddy! Mike from Junk's Automotive

I like to have that 283 tony

As a drift guy and we’re spending other people’s money lol. Get a road race oil pan or baffle the shit out of a stock one. Also the quickest rack you can get for that thing

Dang it! You knew not to take that 100$ bet lol. Hey buddy, I get it. But at least an old guy like me was right! 😊 Guess I'll buy myself a pizza!

HOLD ON...STOP THE PRESSES.....A 454 SERIES....IM ALL IN....thanks uncle Tony....make it happen...and make it LAST MANY VIDS...

It's juat an old Chevy that got turned into an insane drift car. No big deal. 😎

wait, kiwi flaked out on us?

Put a blower on it!!!! Drifting with that sticking out the hood would be a sight to see 😂😂😂😂

Im looking forward to the live engine build
