I can't wait to see 82 year old Les live his dream of making it into the 9's. That's going to be a great video. Congrats on the win, Les!

[@mophomanners]

I hope Sam can come hang out !

[@brianbeilmann2992]

So cool. What a win.

[@dondotterer24]

Most engine builders would have gave up . Not worth the time!

[@fugemlpriks1876]

I hope the ol fella hits his goal!! Awesome!!👌❤️👍🇦🇺

[@ronbuckner8179]

Watch yourselves, we gotta new peddle stomper!

[@jasonrichards5646]

Congratulations Les! Made my day hearing this conversation with an 82 year old young man and how genuine and happy he sounded. Well done SM on such great prize, can't wait to watch the video.

[@robcates2383]

You know Steve, Les, is right WE APPRECIATE the "STRAIGHT SHOOTER", that you are! I've watched a ton of your videos, everytime I LEARN SOMETHING COOL! I'm 65, been a technician since 1978, built a bunch of motors, even more trannies, drag raced a boat in the 80s, and 90s! It seemed like you and Val are raising an awesome kid in Kyle!! He talks to us just like you do!!

[@THEVROD64]

82 ...EIGHTY TWO former drag racer. What a deserving winner and Epic video ahead !

[@NeilJable]

82 years young by the sound of things, way to go Les. Have fun.

[@NJDEVILz86]

Steve my wife had siezure and suffered a broken neck been in hospital 12 days and you and Less had me smile and feel good inside for 1st time....thank you BOTH!!!

[@tracksoneverything4085]

Hope your wife makes a speedy recovery.

[@NJDEVILz86]

Thanks everyone

[@jasonnurmi6166]

Lucky guy. Congrats to Les. Les is spot on when he describes Steve. That hemi is going to be neat to see run when it’s done.

[@michiganracer1181]

This will be one of the best videos handing "Sugar Mamma" over. Probably couldn't have went to a better person! What a great a story this will be.

[@Jerry-jy7jm]

I didn't know if Steve could take it there for a minute lol...Hopefully he will bring the real sugar momma along for the test!!

[@natejames5720]

That is awesome!!! 82 and about to make the fastest pass of his life!

[@petert3355]

Other than the first pass he made with his wife.

[@garthp9874]

Hell ya brother

[@rodbrezinski8033]

Congratulations Les and thanks Steve Morris for opportunity for us to win that beautiful machine

[@jbonn5365]

Congrats to Les... And I agree 1000% on everything he said about you, Steve. Your presentation on this channel is awesome. You come off as just a regular dude who tells it like it is. Wish you nothing but the best, man!

[@reedhryals7007]

There was a Air force base at blytheville till sometime in the 70s. Used to drag race there when they would open it up to races. Other times I would race at George Ray's dare devil drag strip. It opened I believe in the early 60s and still going strong

[@jamesnj3454]

Can Kyle interview Clark like he did with his mom? Clark is an interesting guy.

[@Ole_CornPop]

There's a Clark video posted a few months ago.

[@62cripple]

He's legit from the Rocky horror picture show...💪🤣🍺🇳🇿

[@blairanderson5925]

So there I am, sitting on my mower, thinking about finishing the latest Steve Morris video, when out of nowhere, the Steve Morris van drives right in front of my house!! Wish I could have gotten a picture of it driving by, but still cool to see!

[@vehdynam]

That was a great video. The winner of Sugar Mom sounds most appreciative ( and deserving of this great car) .Clark is cool as always. Joe knocked it out of the park with his tech info. Many , many thanks.

[@Spad68]

That is absolutely awesome. 82 year's young.

[@joeybuono6093]

congrats to Les. hope all goes well for him and the sugar mamma

[@georgedreisch2662]

82 years old. Fuk’in outstanding. The track day should be epic. Love this, and thanks for sharing.

[@holken5523]

Missed Clark, happy he is back =)

[@johndoran3274]

I was sad I didn’t win until I heard Les and now I’m so happy for him and to see him rip that beast. Thanks for sharing!

[@cunderthunt]

Couldn’t have had a better winner! My dad drag raced his Harley’s into his 70s!

[@dominicmdet]

I hope Steve takes him to the Track … Truly Great Winner!!!

[@AB-80X]

Yeah, but there's a big difference between say 72 and 82. I hope this car won't end up just sitting after a year or two.

[@Davespackey]

@@AB-80XI’m sure the guys got family.. hopefully he’s got a grandson or son that will enjoy it when he’s done.. not really our business anymore

[@AB-80X]

@@Davespackey Never was our business. It was just something that kind of struck my mind. But yes, I'm sure there's someone he can pass it down to when time comes and he sounded like he was up for taking it out🙂

[@russellridge8623]

@@AB-80X And there’s a big difference between any 4 wheel drag race and man handling a Harley at72. Old man must’ve been tough dude.

[@deedeemccandless]

LET'S GO!!!!!!!! Never too old to race .

[@ls1jeeper]

So we gotta see this guy make some runs and get that 9 sec pass

[@strykerentllc]

It's guys like Les the reason why we sat out the Sugar Momma giveaway. God Bless Les and we hope he has an ear to ear grin when he blasts down the track. Looking forward to seeing that video. Our goodest boi Dewey makes our day every time he makes a cameo appearance. Cheers!

[@iamarawn]

What a nice gentleman. Glad he won

[@johnnyshell2839]

That dude said 12.5 inch long push rods at 9/16 in diameter. That's massive.

[@mikehipperson]

That's the 'Ron Jeremy' of push rods!

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

Love seeing ❤Dewey❤ moving from one station to the next checking up on the guys. ❤

[@Florjack2756]

Steve help that man do 9’s on a video. To see a 82 year old man happy to finally get his 9 sec pass. That would be a totally awesome video

[@nhra7110]

Congrats Les!! Hope you run many 9s in your new ride!

[@throttlewatch4614]

Nothing makes me happier than knowing someone genuine and deserving wins a giveaway

[@micheleb6729]

Congrats pop! Couldn’t think of a better person to win this.

[@stephcooper5998]

Les, you are inspirational. Get your foot into that go fast pedal. Steve, this outcome couldn't be better.

[@andrewsketcher8915]

wow so pumped for les just awesome .. some great info on the hemi too 👍, good seeing clark around

[@wayno23]

Well done young fella building the Hemi 👍

[@Maddog00427]

Apart from me.. This guy is the only person worthy of winning Sugar Momma.. Congrats

[@JW-hm6ou]

Awesome to hear about the winner of Sugar Mama. Glad it went to someone older that races

[@dkgolfnut]

I just love to see how much care you and your staff always put into making engines the right way. Amazing detail and I just love the real talk about time needed for custom builds. Definitely points out all of the things you designed in to your SMX and SML powerhouses!

[@JohnRoberts71]

Glad to see Clark is back. Good luck in the upcoming season

[@UcantBeSerious03]

Congrats Les! I over did it with my entries, I'm still eating rice and beans.

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

I'm 70 and was expecting the call myself but after hearing who won I'm just as happy. But I can see something in Steves eyes when he could see that this 82-year-old still wanted to go fast. Steve did not want to part with Sugar Mama. If I would of won. I would not say a thing to Steve and after making some passes, I would trade him the car back for a SM Monster Motor. Good job Steve. I'm rocking the decals on my daily now.

[@danmyers9372]

68 and same here!

[@ricknielson8934]

67 same

[@huddleberryfin]

One more kick at the cat. That sounds awesome. Happy for the guy. If an 82 y/o man can figure out how to enter a contest online, he can race! lol

[@kgsxr7s085]

Im a gm guy but always interested in any big performance engine and cant wait to see that big black hemi make some big power.. love to see all the tech work as my brain very mechanical and rarely get to see the machining and assembly tech stuff

[@Randysshop49548]

congrats on the win Les!! and the joys of engine building over coming problems, I wonder if the timing dot on the cam gear is in the wrong location, whatever the case I would remark the gear so if someone else has to take the belt off it is reassembled correctly..

[@doncarlson8391]

Just watching Steve climb in and out of Clark's car earned a thumbs up. Too funny.

[@garthp9874]

Yea, I was skinny back in the day. My nick name was slim.

[@fredchenney4407]

*SEEN CLARK ON 1320VID YEARS AGO. DUDE WAS A GOD AMONG INSECTS BACK THEN....NOTHING CHANGED*

[@MasterBlaster69]

Winner sounds like a fantastic guy, congrats!

[@CS_247]

Man, that Hemi is a beast, it sounds AWESOME!! Nice one Les! Enjoy!

[@peterbustin2683]

That gentleman is just great. To think he was racing nearly into the 9s, in the mid 1960s, and we're lucky to get near 7s now - some sixty years later - bears contemplation. ❤from 🇬🇧

[@justinpakarno4346]

Awesome winner, congratulations to Les!

[@montestu5502]

38:56. Those intake ports are HUGE!

[@TheMitch883]

Warms my heart, very cool Steve and nicely done. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy it seems and congratulations Les and would love to see a video of you at the track in the 9s

[@GregCollard-cq5yg]

Oh come on Steve we all know that you are ON IT!! 👍

[@txsailor57]

I think Les is 82 years young! Sugar Momma is going to a deserving guy!

[@PeaceMarauder]

82... wanna see him rip. He's just a couple years older than me :P If you ever feel old, Steve, remember, you'll always be a young punk to me!

[@kilgorefamily76]

Great phone call Steve, congrats Les!

[@briangarcia4496]

This is great! I’m sure Sugar Mama will go to a great owner.

[@RussellCompton-fh3gr]

good job on explaining the hemi cam and valve work,,, have him do a few more

Thats awsome!!! 83 and able to live out his dream, congratulations to Les

[@matthewmccormick2417]

Congratz to the winner of SM. Cant wait to see him drive the Old Girl down the strip. As for the BLACK HEMI. ohh i know the pain of custom engines

[@kennycamshaft2128]

the young guy who was working on the BIG BLACK HEMI did a great job give him some more air time in the future i want to see if les can get the pedal to the metal at the track

[@AuthenticAustinRon]

Congrats to the Les!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@roostingthe6520]

Being off a tooth is common in big engines. In the future put cam @#1 intake lobe at .050, put crank @#1 TDC then just put belt, gears wherever is needed. Saves TONS of time.

[@jeffmiller6100]

The big black hemi is a real pain in the Areslo it seems from The crank debacle to the final assembly. Your team handled it great !

[@JohnRoberts71]

Congratulations to the Sugar Momma winner. Good luck I’m sure she’ll be safe for you to race.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Coming from building small blocks a 100lb crank? I am used to cranks on the 40s. The whole assembly will be huge,, need 200hp more just to turn the crank

[@phillipsprague3275]

So the title says 280 in the standing mile! In August there’s a relatively unknown event that takes place just north of my tiny (3500 people) it’s called the SORC Shootout! You can run the half or full mile! It’s been happening for oh, twenty five years now, there’s been some world famous people attend over the years and not once in the history of the event has any ever gone over 230 in the mile! Yes this is a somewhat flat, slightly uphill two lane asphalt road but it is what it is! I’d be stoked if ole’ Steve would like to give it a go!! BTW SORC stands for Sandhills Over the Road Challenge!! Look it up there is a web page!

[@tonykaras5975]

Congratulations to the winner!!

[@dggustafson02]

Can't wait to see that dude run his 9😊

[@rodneyhillhouse7956]

Awesome winner of Sugar Momma. Hope you make an episode of it's delivery and the first passes.

[@dmeemd7787]

Rob Wendland always had those shorts about his big black rear end haha - The 12” Chrisman rear end, lol (Top Fuel)

[@metalted6128]

This is nothing like the JC Whitney, Small block Chevy rebuild kit!! High horsepower, 1 off custom engines are VERY!! Time consuming, to build!! If you want it done right!! Super cool build!!

[@StewMac570]

So cool getting into all the technical details of the engine build. 42:54
