Carnage - Getting Dad's Ute Ready to Race = More Dyno Mayhem!

[@1993kawasaki]

11:00 has to be the realest words from any car enthusiast.

[@ChristopherHallett]

Dad's ute heard you give it the ol' Cleeter "Let's get to the live action" and thought to itself "Oh, you want live action? I'll give you live action!"

[@gemracing]

I've never come across someone as dedicated as you Scotty!!!!!

[@Devastator0]

Great video as always Scotty, love your work! Pity about that oil mishap but glad it turned out fine. It’s one of the things I love about what you do in that you show the good AND bad that happens with cars. You don’t throw the film bullshit over it to cover it and only show the good. Really respect that. Keep up the good work mate!

[@nathanpeachs2704]

Love this 🇭🇲 ute 😄 Great call mate, tail shift letting go is no fun😅 Love the content Scotty, One of the most chill Aussie channels 😄

[@maxxperformance1613]

Great video! Looking forward to the next one!

[@bvward]

Scott, electric gauge time? Great results!

[@MafiaboysWorld]

At this rate, Zane's gonna give you a lifetime ban from his dyno Scotty. 🤣👍

[@someyoungguy6990]

No ban but a beer fund for every car that shits on the floor. I have seen guys make a drip tray on wheels and fill it with cat litter and use it on every car. Worked very well and even caught most chunky bits.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@@someyoungguy6990 Breadcrumbs > Kitty litter. More effective and cheaper. 😉👍

[@tobehunt2573]

I personally always use and recommend a Teflon braided line. More than one firey lesson learned with both copper and nylon gauge lines over the years to use anything else.

[@gemini3558]

Nice Scotty !!! 😜👍🇦🇺

[@benpaganoni1849]

Its good that you show the good and bad days its often way harder than people would believe. Honestly love your work it makes us all feel better !!! keep it up

[@w2moparpaul419]

Great work Scotty! All that hard work & pain has paid off. Btw I have experienced the same with oil pressure line letting go inside the cabin.... Mopar or no car

By far the best channel with genuine real down to earth content with your real experiences no fake canned issues here

[@gogetem188]

HI Sottie settle dad lol nice touch its awesome he will be smiling down proud of his son your awesome dude good stuff

[@honestpat7789]

I like how everyone gets the hell out of your way when that line snapped 😂 I just bought an old Holden Ute with a 186 on a powerglide trans. Makes about 1/4 the power of the valiant 😂 Would love to do a engine swap, but it’s highly possible that it’s a genuine X2, and I think you can go to jail for it 😂

[@STREETMACHINETV]

LOL, the purists would lynch you

[@teamvs_9970]

I actually remember driving one of them, back in the day. actually a few of them, there was only glides up till the trimatic, which I think first came out in the HQ.

[@cme2cau]

@@teamvs_9970 My dad had a HR special 186 powerglide. Holdens had the Hydramatic (EK-EJ-EH) Powerglide (HD-HR-HK-HG (some)) The Trimatic came out in some HGs, then HQ and on.

[@brianmaynard7320]

Have SOOO been there when something goes wrong when there is NO reason it should. LOL. Understandable Scotty!! I've said worse lol.. Great numbers on the dyno. Well done sir!!

[@bobroberts2371]

Something with the copper line. Copper work hardens and will crack with vibration. It is a good idea to support the line near the fitting / have a couple of loops in the line to allow for the engine to move around. Have a look at brake lines on a vehicle that is body on frame, there will always be a loop to take up movement between the body and frame. While we are on the subject of brakes, the header is pretty close to the master cylinder. Some sort of heat shield would be a good idea.

[@boingkster]

Yep the copper lines harden over time. Many newer kits come with nylon line. I've used it to good effect... moved my oil leak to a catch can which decided to unscrew and grenade itself in the engine bay instead, haha!

[@bobroberts2371]

@@boingkster Nylon lines have their issues too, the nylon softens and blows out of the ferrule ( Olive for those in some countries ). Mid 70's Chevy trucks used copper lines however from what I recall the ferrule was triangular ( flat on the nut side, tapered on the fitting side) . This pushed the transition further down the nut so the nut offers more tubing support. Also, if you look at " refrigeration " flare nuts if you are working with flareable tubing. These have a long body offering tubing support over the standard short nuts. When working with slightly larger than oil gauge plastic tubing requires thin metal inserts in the tubing to prevent the tubing from crushing and the ferrule from losing grip.

[@The_Performance_Laboratory]

I admire your perseverance in the face of constant shit going wrong.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Got to keep moving forward

[@johanveer8201]

Can't beat the sound of the old V8's!

[@otter2183]

Zane’s like David Wallace from the office Scotty! (The most patient man in the world) Great to see it running!

[@TheRockallen]

Mate I pissed myself laughing when that oil line broke. Not in a funny way but it looked like me last week as I had a few bulls$&t problems and you sounded exactly like I did when you’ve had enough. Good luck with it but no matter what for 37 years now I have no regrets and love working on cars 🚗

[@darrylcampbell4411]

Crikey Scotty.. Shes fighting ya all the way. Keep at it . You will get there..... Do the Dyno Guys go Ahhhh here comes Scotty again.? LOL. Go Dude. Like you said.. old cars. Looking forward to more.

[@Brock_Landers]

I've never heard of a 361 or of one being a big block. The smallest Mopar big block I've ever heard of is a 383 and I had a 1970 Roadrunner with a 383 that had Hooker headers, a dual tunnel ram with two Holley 650 double pumpers, and an A833 4 speed trans and a 9 3/4" Dana 60 rear end with a Sure Grip and a 3.54. The same rear axle and gearing that was in my 1984 Dodge Ramcharger with a 360 LA, A727, and a NP205 transfer case. Back in the early 70s my mom bought a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 425HP (which was an underestimate) 426 Hemi, an A833 4 speed manual, and it was Plum Krazy, the Holy Grail of Mopars here in the US. That car would go for close to $500,000 nowadays in mint condition. I LOVE this build and I'd be willing to do some fairly sketchy things to own a car like this. I built my grandfather's last car into a monster, but I sold it sadly and last I heard about it, they had torn it apart and swapped the original engine back into it for a daily for his son. It took me 4 years to build that car into something that my grandfather would've loved, and he took it all back apart to return it to stock...

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yep, smallest big block is 361ci, same physical dimensions as the 383, just a smaller bore.

[@67wogval]

Another great video mate, was great to meet u on the w/end and the ute sounded and performed well on the track. Good stuff 👍

[@deankdx]

If building cars was easy, everyone would do it! T shirt print there i think. sharing the ups and downs keeps it real, Thanks for sharing it all!

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Scotty. Keeping shit real just like in Street Commodores days.

[@howardgoold5774]

It was the Dad's ute series that got me into your videos (my Era of vehicle) so I was rapt to see a new video, looking forward to the race video, the small badging on the front guards now need an update after the latest dyno session.

Hay Scotty dont cars just make ya real happy well done mate lets go racing and have some fun

[@Tk-ou9ec]

I haven’t done the heads on my 318 yet as I too ran out of money but it does have a 268h comp cam,edelbrock intake,edelbrock 500 carby,hei ignition and extractors and a full 2.5 inch exhaust. Rebuilt 727 trans with 2300 stall and shift kit BUT at the moment it’s still got its crappy 2.92 bw diff. Later I plan on changing it to a true track lsd with a 3:55 ratio. That’ll wake it up. Mine has been tuned and runs real well but only made 210hp at the wheels. I’m betting changing the heads later will have some benefits?🤞

[@STREETMACHINETV]

More compression and better heads definitely help

[@lukeclarke8054]

Cars are one of those things that’ll make you smile but given the chance they’ll make you cry harder. But for some reason we keep doing what we do.

[@anomamos9095]

Copper work hardens. That’s why it’s illegal to used as brake line. It will usually give up near places that are held firm and kept from flexing as it concentrates the fatigue in one spot.

[@Legotruck82]

That oil press gauge line is why I've run an electronic type sender/gauge. Also means you don't fill the cab/cover your legs in burning hot oil if the line fails.

[@someyoungguy6990]

I feel you're pain mate! Cars are much like kids one minute you love em to the moon and back next you want to kick it up the bum.!!

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Sounds like a beast, can't wait to see what it runs.

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

Sounds brilliant and 200rwkw is nothing to sneeze at especially with older technology

[@geordiegibson1210]

Scotty, I also lost my Dad to cancer a couple of years ago. I know you loved him, I know you love the ute. But for the love of god, would you please degrease the underside of the bonnet 🤣🤣. Do that and leave the ute running and driving as a tribute, something for you son to enjoy. Glad to see you finally had success, it sounds great, just leave it reliable. As a legacy.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I plan to but there's never time. It's not grease, it's something weird. The only thing that will remove it is oven cleaner

[@TaunusMicha]

Here it is still sunday evening :D Murphy hits you very often at this build or should i say your Dad may not be amused? I had a broken oil line in one of my cars, since then i prefer electric gauges. cleaning the inside of my car was no fun at all. I also had a broken tailshaft, luckily while start driving after red light turns green. In my case there was no unijoint, i had a rubber connection (don't know how these things are named in english) and the rubber broke. The tailshaft hit under the floor and deformed it. Also the exhaust was hit and deformed. So a loop might be a good investment for your own health. I also had one of these rubber connections broken on the german highway while i was driving nearly 200Km/h. A little piece fell off and the shaft get unbalanced. I will never forget those vibrations.

[@JonarusDraconius]

Oh man! You were there on the Saturday? I was there on the Saturday! I was just working in the Canteen the whole time!

[@frankmcgorman962]

I was going to suggest, take a few large bags of oil-dry (or kitty litter, whichever you prefer) with you on you next visit to the dyno. You know, just as a goodwill offering. And maybe a couple of flats of lemon squash too. Dad's Ute is looking and sounding excellent. Looking forward to see how it did at the track.

[@wesgates5632]

At least you didn't use the plastic hose that comes with most gauges, I always use a -3 braided hose with proper fittings on mechanical oil pressure.

[@jc7654]

hey Scotty , nice numbers at the end should be fun to drive , capillary tubes are a pain , doesn't seem to matter what they are made from they all get brittle or get kinked or rub on something by accident. maybe it's time to get a electric sender stile gauge , at least you know that you have some fresh oil running in the engine 👍

[@manuelstarr3602]

I see you were 1st in your English class.. I reckon you want to leave Murphy at home in future. As for the broken pipe.. well I guess that's why they have new ones. You have a great ute there and the 318 wont let you down.. I think it was better than the 360.. cheers mate good luck at the track. 🍺🍺

[@MRMOPARMAN0426]

Spewin bout the oil line. You have just experienced the reason copper lines were phased out of LPG cars ages ago. The vibrations from the engine cause the copper to work harden and then crack. Im suprised it didnt do it years ago considerinv you have been moving it from car to car. Electric gauges from now on! 😅

[@aurtherbrunt241]

Great effort mate.

[@danielspencer1973]

It's amazing how much oil can flow out of a teeny tiny little line like that! Hope it went well at the track.

I know electronic aftermarket oil gauges are expensive but............ And hey, I said exactly what you said when the Val smoked out the cell lol A while ago I went electronic on both Oil and Boost compliments of Rockauto and sure Id had a few bourbons when I ordered but zero regrets after 2 years of use.

[@gregmyatt9932]

Mate! Sender unit + electronic gauge everytime! Forget that old school pressure line type gauge. I had one let go that was a plastic line, and caught fire! Apparently the plastic line doesn’t like being anywhere near extractors, even 20cms away like mine was.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I'm old school, but yeah I'm think that maybe I might need to go that way.
