572ci Big Block Gets MORE Power & Better MPG!

The 572ci big block in my truck was already making sketchy levels of power...but theres always room for more! I wanted to give my truck some much needed air, fuel, and spark upgrades to let this big ol engine breathe and also get some better fuel economy along the way. pretty crazy what modern fuel injection and spark control can do for a big ol american v8!

[@Lead_EaterNA]

As a dude in New Zealand who cannot afford fun stuff like this, I live vicariously through you. I love that truck

[@AP-op4rc]

It’s all good dude. I live in Wisconsin where trucks like this don’t exist because they just turn into a little pile of rust and blow away in the wind.

[@TuXicity]

As another dude in New Zealand who also cannot afford the fun stuff like this, I also live vicariously through Mister Zach. One of these days I'll get my shit together and make those hella mad chop noises take over the streets of NZ

[@lexPetro240sx]

Me too

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

Lots of fun to be had with any v8. Much motivation from christchurch bro

[@VUDU_SQUAD]

Word, Same here. Kiwi in Australia Melbourne... We just don't have these epic rides here kinda sucks. Yo just gotta say, your energy and positive vibe has been the main reason I subbed. Keen to see you win homie

[@Vaino_Hotti]

Zach the type of guy to get 7 mpg instead of 4 and be absolutely over the moon about it

[@samebarb9360]

That’s almost double!😂😭

[@crash5811]

When we got this old farmer to finally buy a diesel grain truck, he went from 1mpg to 12mpg loaded and had to watch his speed climbing the valley. Think about change as a percentage, it means more

[@ImgoneButUrstillHere]

So many dudes on KZbin make it look easy which makes me feel dumb when i try doing it n struggle .. but not u .. thank u for showing me the struggle is real .. lol

[@mark821ification]

The magic of editing makes everything look easy😂

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

Same please keep making stuff like this

[@johnpark6138]

If you built it .. the struggle is real.

[@lewie]

I second this

[@oblivious._]

Damn tho slow it down. The power tools generally don’t need to come out, no lube you just go in..

[@MrSkar1975]

Love the fact, the hoonigan boys still sticking together..

[@jdmlordsalamander6397]

Zach twice a week is like a gift from God. Love the content!!! Keep it going!!!

[@Ngarepairercar1990]

Very good

[@kalinomergel1179]

“What’s the problem” - Suppy 💯

[@prgx52]

Suppy speaks the good word

[@redbeardr31]

Love the fact you're not afraid to show how much of a f*ck around cars can sometimes be...those 2 day "bolt on upgrades" never go to plan! Thing is going to be killer when it's running!

[@brentrobinson3274]

Fun to see the old hoonigan boys coming in clutch to help out your boy. Also A+ on muffler delete

[@JeeshGaming]

I’m still blown away how you don’t have more subscribers. Best thing you did starting your own channel!

[@LuisGomez-su7kf]

I said the same thing. It'll come for him!

[@Crabman_87]

The Temu video didn't help

[@murmur3966]

I didn't subscribe because of how he wears his stupid hat backwards and to high to what hide male pattern baldness or something like that.

[@daltonnash465]

I really want you to make this channel big. You are so entertaining, and you are always yourself!! Love your work!!

[@leroyjenkins3580]

"my hood won't flap away" Lowkey dig on Hert. 😂😂😂❤️

[@denischitian1408]

Gotta say, you and Suppy make an awesome team! Would be great to see you two work on more projects together. Also, enjoying the straight to the point videos without any of the short meme video interruptions which "other" love to use. Keep doing awesome content!

[@karlsmiler87]

The #sustaintability in the description has got me rolling😂😂😂 this channel is by far one of my favorites and for sure should have so many more subscribers

[@joseperez1881]

For a moment there, I thought you were going to say 10mpg more 😂. Only 10mpg on the why!? GOT DANG BROTHER 😬

[@NJR151]

Don't Die Garage shirts! "Making fast things go faster since 2023!" Where they at?!!? I'll buy 3.

[@johnhufnagel]

that rant during the pump pulley thing... bro I SO FEEL that in my soul. brakes on my jeep have been a NIGHTMARE... stupid backing plates for the rears that are needed because the parking brake mounts to it.

[@nessie42786]

Zach, I know it’s too late now. But every time I work on the engine in my lifted K5 blazer. I pull the front wheels off. Then set the front axle or the snout on my front hubs on some blocks of wood. It lowers the front of my truck by at about 2 feet. It’s a back saver.

[@nickob]

Fuck yeah. Keep saving the planet my man.

[@TuXicity]

I think this is one of your best episodes yet since going solo. I love the fact his workshop is so close to Hemmings that have a bunch of the guys that kept alive the builds of Hoonigan, it's parasocial I know but they all seem like actual f*ckin legends and just the kind of environment needed to not only keep videos like this interesting, but I can only imagine the amount of second hand motivation you get from having a bunch of blokes wrench on your shit from next door after hours at night! You got some solid lads helping to keep you going there Zach! I love the content and what you're doing man spreading the good word of the Chop! PS: I might be far away over the other side of the world, but I'd be happy to do electrical for you any day!

[@jakechapman3161]

I’m a fan of you showing all the little stuff and struggles so keep on doing it. Makes it feel more attainable for me to someday get my truck similar.

[@thomashalley7258]

Larger components getting better mileage just blew a epa "engineers" mind.

[@FiefysLashes]

Zac ur vids are sick & they just keep getting better in every way. Always waiting on ur next one. Im not even a truck guy! but motor enthusiast; & u dude are just cream to tune in to 🤙🏻👍🏻

[@HoosierHacker]

Coolest guy from Hoonigan imo

[@JeffColbert-n1n]

Dude, this Jimmy totally deserves a full restoration. Love this truck.

[@RealDGoodwin]

Seeing Suppy was legit, I miss that dude on camera. He’s easily one of the best from Hoonigan, maybe not the best “on screen personality” (not a bad thing) but the best fabricator and mechanic that is relatable. Suppy and Zach need to build a project together! Like a legit drift car to take to an event or something like that.

[@SoulSkate808]

So stoked to see this beast back on the road and better than ever!

[@AutoholicsAnonymous]

Criminally under-subbed channel!

[@ndranger4004]

This is what we want!!

[@sunchokesoup]

The videos keep getting better! Thanks for the content!

[@din0wayway]

Good to see Suppy , Grimm and the gang.

[@ChristhompsonDG]

That Dana 44 is punching the air right now.

[@jonnysnakes5417]

Getting close to the 100k man

[@Thatdude877]

@30:24 Grim being too damn humble hahahaha

[@Metalwolf765]

First start struggle is real!

[@gustavofigueiredo1798]

Great content, Zac! Also great seeing Suppy and Grimm.

[@Bpat610]

That’s so much rubber burned off 🫡. Also, wanted to say thoroughly enjoying you doing your own thing and the channel. Props to the chop lord. Thank you for great vids

[@shanefoster6018]

YEEEEEAWWWW MISTER ZACHARY ALL THE POWERRRR 😂😂🎉🎉🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

[@Akestler]

Can we get some more SUPPY cameos?

[@blake4twenty]

Better yet, go yell at Suppy to start posting to his youtube channel already.

[@Hogiewan1]

I’m working on a small block 71 Camaro and an LS swapped 05 Colorado. That’s a LOT of work and progress. Congrats!

[@StraightLineCycles]

Learn to weld, it's actually pretty awesome watching the metal melt together.

[@seangallagher455]

I like how you have ran with this channel and made the best of leaving a big channel. You sir are the man. Chevy Rules!!!!!!

[@Richard-q2q]

Nice upgrade bro👍💪 love the information........ And ..dude,...how could ya forget ta put da power steering fluid in ...anyhooooo Keep up the good work...👏👃✌️🤘

[@marksman2555]

love the videos keep up the amazing work!

[@erostriste8694]

4 hamburgers per Bald Eagle is pretty nuts

[@Vaino_Hotti]

Average Big Mac burger is about 2000 kilojoules, and the typical adult bald eagle wingspan is about 6ft or 2 meters. A mile would be about 880 bald eagles, and at 4 hamburgers per bald eagle, means 3520 hamburgers per mile, or ~7 040 000 kilojoules per mile. A US gallon of regular gasoline is approximately 132 000 kilojoules. 7040000 divided by 132000 is ~5.33, aka 5.33 gallons per mile, which equates to *~0.1876 miles per gallon* Might've gone wrong in there somewhere, but I can't be arsed to recalculate :DDD

[@erostriste8694]

@@Vaino_Hotti i salute you for your calculations 🍔 🦅

[@OriginalMomo]

All hail the chop!

[@saulGjr]

This was a good video! I think you should teach yourself to weld (since you obviously need to learn) and make a couple videos of it. You learn and teach the viewers while you are learning.

[@randoawesomemix9501]

Honestly, the 572 is the motor your Jimmy deserves.

[@B_MVRX]

You and hert made the Hoonigan KZbin channel dope. And suppy I like suppy too.. barely. 😑😂

[@BrainWaveBeats808]

I love watching these videos because they are so authentic. We all know Zach has no idea what he’s doing, but he is figuring it out through trial and error. This is the best content on KZbin right now. Not everything on KZbin has to be presented as the most professional or overly produce/scripted content. Keep KZbin relatable and keep up the good work!

[@glitchered]

nice engine and steering upgrade. breathing room and a lil bit of electronics for this big block. looks neat. hmmhmm. lil suppy cameo too. a good neighbour. :) bummer he doesn't record his builds. he got some nice things rolling thru. but... it's fine. he's a garage guy. does not edit videos if he doesn't have to. yo...

[@ПавелСкобарёв]

You are the person who I was least expecting to start caring about MPG

[@j.a.r.family2576]

Grim is truly the best fab/builder . His work is outstanding.

[@BrandonFitzgibbon]

Hell yeah BIG BLOCK work this is what I’m here for 💯💯🔥🔥📈

[@michaelswart9236]

I like how we went to the powdercoat shop in an avalanche, and showed up at the shop in the CHOPLORD Corvette

[@kevinmatthews9443]

20:24 was not expecting that o2 bung to be so clean lmao

[@rschris]

Hell to the Yeahhh!!! Sounds like Bald Eagles flying high brother !!!

[@Chad-j9z]

Great channel love the content only thing that's missing is a segment called soupy knows Best😂

[@sunchokesoup]

Suppy is so hot right now!

[@pgmurray76]

The thumbnail image and title made my bowels release stuff remembering the sound from the Burnyard.

no better feeling than man making machine work 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hell yeah brother!! LFG! Nice work Z!

[@LuisGomez-su7kf]

Another great episode bro! Keep at it!

[@ChevyARt15]

Power and economy, you can't beat that.

Another great video man, love the relatable content 😅 I remember the floppy colums lmao my friends had that lol 😆

[@austenalgaier1122]

I love you. How are you not at a million???!!!

[@Scottydoing]

Can we get more toplss videos! I've always loved my 4runner top off looking more like a truck then a suv, iv had a lot of people talk about how cool the experience is in the back especially wheeling or mudding. I always wanted to do an awd donut with people in the back, i remember doing it in my subaru, and people say the G forces in the back while spinning are wild!! Also the top on in summer sucksmonkeybuttocks it's soooo hot and it definitely feels much faster without

[@firedustman]

greta should be proud !

[@cesard2305]

15:21 🤣🤣🤣 Stalekracker impersonation?!?! 🤙

[@-OokySpooky-]

15:16 I would literally pay money for an entire how to video with that exact persona

[@kevenhiemie]

Check out solder stick butt connectors. Much easier and nicer compared to soldering.

[@andymutale368]

Heard fuel economy🎉🎉

[@luckysgarageshow]

Next Level!!! Nice!!!!!!

[@broncobill392]

Basically a fabricator. 👍🏽😁

I’m definitely the biggest wiring hack.. I’m talking twist and tape, wire nuts, old used speaker wire… 🤷‍♂️ whatever works 😂

I love Blazers. I have 7 right now. My 84 has 454

Nice to throw like 5G's worth of Holley parts at stuff isn't it 🤣 Jokes aside that's a nice setup, looking forward to the next one!

So sick! Great video!

You can use a long flat screwdriver to set the oil pump in the proper position before you drop the distributor in

Should've inserted a clip of Charles Barkley saying "you're just sittin' there with your drawers on, typing on your damn keyboard"

[@gunpowderHVA]

You can slap those bungs on with a wire feed no need for tig. You need more welding practice Zach and exhaust is the perfect place to practice 👌

[@KorysRides]

Had the hat, but no BAJA UPDATE!?

[@lincolncwynar1547]

Suppy doesn’t suck as much as everyone says.👍

[@johndecoster9509]

10 mpg on the highway 😂😂😂 and that's more than twice as good as before!!😂😂😂😂 Also, I LOVE IT!!!!! 😎😎😎

[@420C0BRA]

love this truck

[@coffinsa]

Recommend using properly sized wrenches in place of adjustables. They tend to round over bolts thus causing issues in the future.

[@tomeickhorst6787]

Those coils are going to get super hot that close to the headers

[@3214cbad]

You need to install a electric 12 volt a/c system so you can keep the engine bay clean.

[@xmo552]

People don't believe my '81 c30 can drain an entire tank in under an hour. Ahh validation. 👍😁
