Love the exhaust flaps my uncle hand stacks on an old jeep with the flaps always thought it looked cool awsome truck

Who in rice burner hell gives this a dislike? This is amazing!!!

Get that man some more Coors light ! He deserves it !

[@carollockhart7756]

Surprised he's not sponsored by them...yet!!

The way he made everything work is awesome. 18 Coors Lights will have that effect 👍

Gotta love Coors-fueled American ingenuity! 👍

He's always at our local shows. He's a super nice guy

[@ronniebenoit4081]

So, Ford decided to mimic Chevrolet BIg Block design for their heads... I always wondered if it's actually that close. Very good presentation. If it doesn't have the flame it's not a HOTWHEELS

[@leahcimthgirw3163]

I was about to ask what was actually under the hood now I know and I suggest you put a fully stocked cooler full of beer under there

[@jimmyj2563]

Similar build Was done in the late 80s in Australia using a Australian Holden “ Ute” as we call them..ran a chev with blower onto a th 425. Rear body work was widened .. Nice job on this one 👍🏻

Blow back. Then Blow back 2

What an amazing “engineer” that man is!

[@jimthomas777]

Check out Hemi under Glass , Blown 426 Hemi in a Cuda , Engine is in the back seat , You must be young , people been doing this for 40+ years , I put a Buick 225 V-6 with headers and a 4 barrel Carb . in a Datsun pickup truck when I was 18 years old

@@idontreadreplies.252 , "And" he said that he was an amazing engineer , "And" that means that everyone that has did this very same thing is an Amazing Engineer , You should've seen what I did to a lawn mower when I was just 14 , it was my very first engine swap , but I took the entire engine apart and rebuilt it , then mounted it to a different Frame , then I graduated to mini bikes, chainsaws, motorcycles, cars and trucks, bulldozers, backhoes and just about anything heavy equipment , You should have seen the John Deere Bulldozer with a 350 small block Chevy and 3 speed trans , and currently building a small block 350 Chevy S- 10 and I have 78 Chevy Silverado and I got room in the bed for a V-8 , only problem is , it has duel 22 gal fuel tanks , so both would have to be removed and a rear Tank like on a Blazer , But I don't think of myself as an amazing engineer, I'm just having fun

[@marcuscross6840]

Bad Craziness! I love it! I saw complaints in the Comments section, but it all comes together for me. The raincaps are an unexpected finishing touch.

[@AmericanMadeMud]

This is fantastic. My own fever dream of the same insane mod would be two ElDorados or Toronados under on El Camino.

[@benruether8294]

From years of car talk with my pops, I heard this was a popular thing to do in the 70's but mostly with Olds Toranado transaxles with all sorts of rear engine conversions. He even knew of a guy that had designs for an olds transaxle/455 combo to neatly fit in air-cooled Volkswagen pans (after cutting and fab) to create a v8 mid engine beetle. They had lots of wild ideas back in the day.

[@wampaswomps3975]

What a true Djentleman for that intro music 🤟

[@davidschmidt6013]

This is the best vid of the building of this car that is on KZbin. I followed his given link to his and his son's channel but there is not as much narrative about the tech specs on those vids. It's just a shame that your mic didn't have a wind filter on it, so as to be able to hear this incredible builder a little better. Amazing car!! Ya know how Olympic figure skaters glide at 20mph, on two 1/4" wide blades ON ICE and toss a girl up in the air and spin her and catch her and make it look so easy as to be GRACEFUL?? That's what it's like listening to this modest gentleman describe how he cut two cars in half, welded them together, reshaped the body and then hand-fabricated an entire rear suspension and all the control linkages, in such a matter-of-fact manner. His inspiration? A 3" long toy. smh..... Truly American engineering!! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@russelladams6432]

I have this Hot Wheel! I never thought I'd see a life size version. Very cool!

That takes mad skill to do what he did ! Awesome build !’

I have had this same idea but was told it was dumb and wouldn’t work but glad to see someone brave/drunk enough to finally do it

[@BlackFlagBrothers]

Very impressive build! 👍😎

[@Ticonderous1]

There was a Holden Ute back in the 80s in Australia called BloBak .. had a blown 350 in the pick up bed ....Look it up ....

[@BruceLee-xn3nn]

That is SO cool. I haven't seen flappers since my dad quit working in coal mine.

[@johnparrish9215]

OK, this guy has MAXED OUT the Cool Factor. I have seen nothing else on KZbin that comes close.

[@quillmaurer6563]

I've always thought someone should build a truck like this, but with a really beat up looking truck, beautiful shiny engine in the bed looks like it's sitting on a pallet with cargo straps over it, so it looks like it's an ordinary beat up truck carrying this engine destined for another project. Maybe still have the stock engine up front driving the front wheels, so it can drive around normally. Then when they want to go fast, fire up the bed engine, which is secretly connected to the rear wheels.

[@jacobcarolan1172]

It’s not “how long will this project take?” its “how many beers will this project take?”

[@rodcognito002]

This is my kind of person. Been waiting to see this car.

I'll drink one on that awesome, build. thanks. Mike.

I really wish I had a garage and the money to build something like this. I've got so many ideas and I can do most of the work myself. I just need the parts and a place to do it. One day ..one day....

Now I thought mines was great ( wich it was ) but that is a cool camino ! And I think he may be slagging on that horsepower just a bit , ( and that’s “before” adding for the distance of the engine to the driveline, NONE Ha ), with all things considered I’d say equal to 700-800 conservatively !
