whyd you paint the engine ford blue?

[@dustiinw]

Have you ever seen an OEM L28?

[@Rhadiqul]

@@dustiinw yeah it’s darker blue lol

[@LateKnight666]

@@dustiinw that shit is baby blue yo lmao

[@qjohnson8621]

@@dustiinw i would think he would

[@ronaldmcdonald9328]

Ouch. Wrong color, but this is the quality of work I expect from his channel 🤣

[@MikeyFIXED456]

Always great to watch people who are good at what they do. Especially when you can tell that Eric really enjoys the work. He makes it looks so easy.

[@zacharyvititoe4653]

You can tell Eric looks forward to waking up and getting into the shop each and every day. The passion is unreal and the quality of his work further proves he absolutely loves what he does! This is awesome to watch

[@speedacademy]

I assume Erick specd all the parts can you ask him why he’s using those cheap rods? I would love to know the reason behind that on a build such as this which is supposed to be reliability and those aren’t exactly known for that.

[@juliennacer8871]

what brand are those rods?

[@James_z32]

Youd be surprised how many datsun guys run these lol

[@kikomartinez9062]

Literally my first thought. I've heard of a couple people who know their shit using these in there Z's but I just couldn't sleep at night cutting that corner lol

[@michaelskans9359]

Sounds like he's going for a devil z build from wagan midnight with the z

[@Jtruongg]

Man this is so awesome, ive been designing engine parts in my CAD course for my engineering undergrad and to see and know whats being put together physically is so cool! Thank you for documenting the process of the engine assembly!

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

so satisfying seeing someone like Eric building a engine who knows what they are doing watching him do it is like watching me doing the same seeing him using the old school ring compressor made me miss my dad since his set was so banged up after being used since the 50s to assemble so many engine in his years to when i started doing the same with them that i had to get new ones to replace the old set. and yeah doing a engine takes time to get everything right so they are power making monsters.

[@_kennethf]

Erick is just amazing, makes me feel proud of the country we were born 🇸🇻♥️. Salvadoran pride 🇸🇻. #madeittotheend

[@maynorquevedo8832]

Es de guate 😂

[@cedricksapinoso7004]

I love how Erick is smiling throughout the build process

[@rsiboy87]

When an artist and a mechanic collide, an Erick is created. Was real satisfying watching him do his labour of love. Can’t wait to hear this motor sing!

[@man0fst33l91]

Eric clearly loves what he does, he looked so happy working and I can trust that man to do it right

[@eliasrodriguez3807]

Yoo this brings back memories assembling engines in school, especially seeing someone like Eric builing the L28. #madeittotheend

[@jagoatmat1131]

Pay attention and see the man smiling at his job bro tht true love for working on cars

[@Brian.Gregorio]

So I recently purchased a 260z and seeing this process like this is greatly appreciated, because you did not miss a single step in this video! and really I know I will come back to this video if I need a little guidance. Sometimes it's great to watch an "evolution" occur without all the "Internet Influencer Reaction" bits. Thanks for this Dustin and Eric! This is some good-good quality stuff! I am an amateur and I am now excited to tackle my dream build!

[@jancamp6438]

so satisfying seeing Erick reassembling the motor. Wonderful!

[@dragin_dave85]

Watching Eric build the engine was very satisfying! Sungs Z looks badass, and if your motor looks like that it will be so sweet! Tiana is one lucky woman! Vip order placed! Have fun in Houston. #VIP #madeittotheend

[@Umadbro1225]

Nothings more satisfying than watching a master at work. Love the process. AWESOME VIDEO can’t wait to hear the 280

[@MindDezign]

The "Z" rules them all. I live your cooking on this build after all these years!

[@forty-glocc]

I love ITB's. Gives a nice sound and makes the throttle bodies so responsive.

[@fast45]

Erick’s Racing legends of building engines!!!

[@rsthetics6127]

This video was so cool Eric made it look easy and you could really tell that he loves his job it was so satisfying watching him work on this. Keep up the good work Dustin

[@The_Noggin]

Love the Wangan reference, it's a pretty slept on anime. Can't wait to see the Z finished. #madeittotheend

[@AlvYmmot]

Damn. My Datsun has an L28 and I was looking to eventually swap it but now I’m like damn, should I just build it haha.

[@darrenderousse4804]

Can’t wait to see the 280 done! One lucky lady there! Best daily driver?! Great channel Dustin! Hoping you’ll be able to get to Japan soon!

[@kasper_429]

#MadeItToTheEnd!! The Z is turning out awesome! Can't wait to see it all back together and see what wheels you and/or Tiana pick out for it. They better be some THICC meats with those super-wide fender flares, lol.

[@iamsavage9578]

Great VLOG I can’t wait for the 280 to come alive .

[@koens2578]

It's amazing to watch professionals like Erick work

[@michaelangeloamanderomano9593]

Hmmmmm one of the first episode i watched from your channel DustinW is Sending this engine to your Builder. 7 months later i've seen this engine again getting assembled. Time fly so fast it's been 7 months since i started watching your videos even though i know you already since 2019 when i watched one video of you in japan. Not a consistent supporter right? Haha but still i become a supporter of yours and treating you as one of my inspirations a i'm finishing my college degree. Keep inspiring others Dustin every one loves you. Your big fan from Philippines. ☺️ #madeittotheend

[@MoatMotorsMedia]

Good choice on the engine block color!!

[@maxtaylor9654]

[@dustiinw]

Thanks for watching man!!

[@jonas_life]

[@hectorromero3536]

Dude your doing it right👍🏼 taking it slow and “overbuilding” the engine continue to do that with the rest of the build to that classic beauty/beast 😌 but I am eager to see the finished product 😉

[@s550mustang5]

I’m not into the cars you are per say however you have vision, drive and as a Motorsports enthusiast I totally respect you also produce some insane content. I could be your dad that’s why the age difference doesn’t matter your never to young or old mad respect for you and your team. Dustin I have a great street car 2015 mustang 670/560 to the wheel if and when I could afford a GTR that’s one vehicle would be in my shop your 35 build in my opinion epic.

[@VentureOnMedia]

Bro that was such a sick video! I really loved just watching pure engine building #madeittotheend

[@djay2600_yt]

Hand made (in all sens of term)

[@princepaul1928]

Looks awesome - can’t wait to see the next update. Can you tell us what pistons and rods you used exactly? Or the specs in general? My L28 is burning oil - so I’ve to do the same pretty soon.
