Onya Mark, good to see a few guys filming their builds for Scotty's 12's for $2k. Keep us updated on your project mate and good luck.

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks Jas , Filming is something im not use to but im having fun doing it .

[@scottyb069]

Nice work mate, nobody gives a rats about your voice, we just want to see what your'e up too. A few more lights in the shop would help but a nice first video, you'll get there, and if it works should give Scotty something to wory about.

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks Scotty

[@superhornet81]

Well done mate, we're all keen to see you do well. Loving the budget builds and atmosphere this idea generates. Keep the videos going 💪

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks I will keep them coming .

[@needmoreboost6369]

Cool project! It’s Going to be a heap of fun with that iron lion sound! And nice seeing a realistic build too! As It’s not too common hearing these done anymore. Especially seeing a cheap build that will probably out pace some bigger $ builds! The tune will be the key!

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks , The tune will be Key and fun at that time as im going blow through carb to be different .

[@rubirob5051]

Nice. I always wanted to buy a Lexcen and put a v8 Lexus engine in it and annoy the Holden boys. Keen to see this thing rip

[@MRMOPARMAN0426]

Another OG PFer in the house! Good luck with it dude!

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks Going to have some fun with it .

[@brushitoff503]

Yeah nice mate, I'll follow along for sure. Do the other blokes near you have channels too? I found Corn fed the other day or week ha ha. Cheers.

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks , Just type in 12s for 2K and that will bring up the other guys that are doing it .

This is so good mate , just subscribed as I try to sub to every new Aussie channel that pops up. Wish I was a little closer to Melbourne as I probably would have jumped on board. Anyway keep the videos coming and don’t worry , my voice is worse than yours 😅👌🏽👌🏽

[@jimclarke1108]

Excellent stuff bud, very interested here, i have a VT roller in my HZ on a carb. ( not for the 12 sec, $2k deal) just want to see how it goes👍

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks Jim . This is not the VT roller motor Jim its a VS flat tappet motor i just stole some parts from a VT motor to put on this .

[@eyethinkusuk]

Mate! This is awesome!

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks eyethinkusuk , Hope to just have some fun .

[@cpzmelbs]

Anything from procomp to avoid or watch for? Got no idea

[@marksworkshop54]

I know theres been issues with there parts but i have used some of there stuff with success but i also know its a gamble with what I’ve used.

[@cpzmelbs]

@@marksworkshop54 cheers good to know

[@DoctorWEBB]

Stroker cranks snap off @ ballancer so clean they look machine cut 🤣 Ignition components that are packaged to look the part 10,000v or whatever bs finned aluminium case. Inside the sealed box is nothing exciting or super spark inducing whatsoever

[@peternewman958]

I would really love to see all the keyboard critics build one for $2k. Just because Mark already has the parts and car is his good luck. I know him and he will be honest about what it cost him outside the parts he already has.

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks Peter but it wont matter 1 bit with a couple of these clowns that most likey wouldnt even know how to change the oil in there car . Yes im lucky i have alot of shit that owes me nothing as you have seen . Lets wait and see what happen when i build the box from a broken case and S/H parts that i wont use in customers transmissions because there old and junk . The Carb will be the same as it going to be built from a main body i got from Spot on performances scrap pile and all the other old parts i have .

[@peternewman958]

@ I saw another guy who has a channel and he’s spent $2,500 already. $1,000 on a Mitsubishi Mirage and $1500 on a 380 Magna. Oddly nobody there is giving him grief over the spend like the morons who have unfortunately found your channel.

[@marksworkshop54]

@ the car doesn’t come into the price . Its $2000 to make the car run 12s . The Mitsubishi project is pretty cool

[@peternewman958]

@ oh okay well that will be interesting I’ve seen similar in a Jamboree car.

[@unclebrentsshed4253]

@@peternewman958yeah I’m watching him to , I think the budget only covers performance parts and mods , but it’s definitely a grey area , oh and some people are building twin turbo LSs , don’t know how that works either 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻

[@almstlegalgarage]

Hey mate. Good job in getting involved with Scotty’s challenge but What percentage of the $2k performance budget are you saying the 5L engine and driveline cost you? it’s not part of the car as it was a 6 now your swapping it to an 8. As all performance parts (even if you already had them) had to have a monetary value put on them to go towards the $2k budget. Couldn’t just say. Ahh well I had them laying around so it’s free Or cost nothing. Not that it really matters as there’s no prizes and the competition is for fun but it’s Kinda bending the rules of the competition.

[@marksworkshop54]

Your allowed to spend up to 2k on buying a car so i will class it in that . And all parts i have will start with will be standard parts . Im not worried about that to be honest and if its a issue so be it . Im not short on cars to use if i wanted to use something else . I have a vr and a vs both 5 ltr cars sitting around aswell + numerous other old Holdens . The challenge is to spend 2k in performance parts to make it go . This motor I bought for years ago for $500 with a transmission and lpg gas kit . I sold the transmission for $350 and the gas kit for $100 so that leaves me with a motor only costing $50 if people want to go down that route. The reason im using this car is because it’s different from the normal Holden / Ford

[@shredBucketheadshred]

So how are you gunna claim this is a 2k build even with lowballing the value of everything?

[@marksworkshop54]

What have i low balled ?

[@shredBucketheadshred]

@@marksworkshop54 I didn't say you did, I mean you'd need to to even come close to 2k

[@marksworkshop54]

@@shredBucketheadshred I have the receipts for the parts ive bought of Ebay for the build and for the parts i dont im using Ebay prices . The only main thing i dont have anymore is the receipt for the cam and lifters which i purchased back in 2011 . Im going to see if Performance Wholesale still has it as i have a trade account with them . Back then it was only $240 dollars for the cam . I will do a vid with the receipts .

Is this donk for sale after? Happy to pay 2k for it

[@marksworkshop54]

Well get the mangs happening Dane .

[@cornfedboost]

@marksworkshop54 lol stop it but I did today 😁

[@oceanz4me]

So I suppose if you sold this for 2k after the event you'd at least cover the cost of everything you've put in? I don't think so champ.

[@oceanz4me]

2k I don't think so champ, just in all those parts and the car alone you'd be looking at 6-7k alone second hand. Not sure if this is in the spirit of what the challenge is about but don't take my word for it, wait and see if you get away with it.

[@marksworkshop54]

Thanks if you know someone that wants to come and give me 6k for it please send them my way . I have alot of stuff that ive had for years . I have a complete 5lrs VS Calais that i paid $350 about 6 years ago just sitting there . Im doing this for fun and its not my issue that prices have gone up . I have about 10 cars to choose from both Ford and Holden . Im doing the Lexcen because it’s different and i have 2 off them . Thanks for your imput .

So many salty people in the comments that don’t have the awesome hoard you have, jealousy at its best 🤣

[@marksworkshop54]

Your 100% right . I bought shit when it was worth nothing and im going to use it .

[@trevorsmith9251]

@@marksworkshop54I did also to an extent, today’s prices are insane if I was to start with nothing on a build 😅

[@superhornet81]

Spot on. The concept was based on prices you pay, not what it's worth to someone else today. People are missing the point. If you paid $300 for an item that's now $600+, it's simply in your favour, that's it. The wrecker years builds have an advantage, and it's simply not a problem. Let's see what everyone builds.

[@marksworkshop54]

@@superhornet81 We were having a laugh about it today at the pricing people think you have to use . Its just like saying because we have had Covid and the world went stupid i have to use ridiculous prices for the build . Most of these parts dont sell anywhere near to what people think they are worth .

[@Steb12]

This whole 12s for 2 k is a fun joke. 2 mis in on last few blokes vids taking this2k challenge I could pull a twin turdbo LS set off my shed floors and claim 2k then add a powerglide or t400 Let’s all take the fkn piss Should be 12s for 12k Scotty and maybe couple others are only 1s I see truly sticking with in a grand or so in what shit is actually worth

[@marksworkshop54]

I agree on some of the vids on what your saying , The 2K is for only the add ons on the motor and the cars free . Im lucky i have alot of stuff that doesn't owe much . My auto wont owe anything really . I have a 308 in a VC Commodore that the motor owes me $1050 which started out as a $200 motor . Its run a best of 12.26 @ 109 in street trim . Im only going turbo just for the fun of it .

[@MrMysto]

Kind of scotties mini spool, gifts and wiring exotica a getting to be a joke

[@MrMysto]

Imagine if Adam Lz or victor bray used odds and ends from the shed floor

[@JasonKelly-o8i]

Yeah your dead right. The pricing should be valued at today's price, not something that has been sitting in a shed for 10 years. Or given to someone by a mate. I bought a running driving and regoed vt LS1 for $1500 before covid, it runs 12's and has done for years. With minimum mods. But I'd never enter it, because what's a good regoed vt LS1 worth now.

[@barraboy03]

Well said

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

What's the point really? These builds i feel will only suck the fun out of the whole idea. Not a 2k build otherwise everyone would be driving turbo LS T400s around the streets... That package on market place would be north of 5k easily.

[@marksworkshop54]

A VN 5ltr motor just sold on market place here in Brisbane yesterday for $400 to suit rebuild . I tried to buy it but missed out but i did screen shot it as proof this shit is not worth what people think . Alot of ads on market place have been there for months with out selling which tells you its not worth the price people are asking .

[@azza6453]

Your right, so many knobs think that their credit card debt dictates the value of something and, generally the only item of any value they have 😂​@@marksworkshop54

[@shredBucketheadshred]

Honestly I would.t bother with rollers, std VN rockers are decent for pressed rockers , jus keep the revs down,

[@marksworkshop54]

I have thought about using them but i have the rockers there and the extra rocker i need only cost me $56.89 from VPW with the receipts for that aswell .

Ha some butthurt people on here im loving it ,not 1 of the cars in the challlenge including scotties could be done by the average joe for 2g thats why its gd 🎉 😂😂
