My SUPERCAR’S engine is WRECKED! And it’s all my fault!!!

[@grantmckendry3323]

Love the rawness of this channel, Wigley Farm, the barn, no frills, no reprogramming seats, no reprogramming headlights, no stupid bodykits, no remapping ECU's, just proper cars with proper motors.

I am impressed you did some real work your subscribers will be impressed

[@Hardupgarage]

Thanks matey :) appreciate your kind words x

[@rich24v]

Battery !! :) Sparking while pulling the starter......😂

[@AdamForeman]

It's not your fault Sam/Sir Wiggles, even if you had enough time for a full shake down before your trip, you'd never have found that out unless you rebuilt the engine beforehand. As you suggested, find out it's weaknesses, upgrade them with strengthened parts and it will be golden.

[@RichardHamilton-x1e]

I built this car in 1999. Used it as an ‘everyday’ car for 2 years. Sold to a guy who was going to use it as a track day car. It probably cost me £30k to build.

[@nicde800]

Before i even watch..... Get yourself a decent crate motor.. bring it right up to date .. maybe even convert to fuel injection

[@calumwardlaw457]

Ls swap

[@R6AAO]

@@calumwardlaw457 it IS an LS engine. It's the 5.7 truck engine.

[@R6AAO]

@@nicde800 in the UK a crate motor will be silly money. We can't just walk into a dealer and say "crate motor pronto mofo" and it appears in the parking lot ready to go.. Even an air filter for one of those will be on back order for years. LS engines are as rare as hens teeth in the UK which is a shame because America have made huge progress and frankly we the British are missing out on some EPIC cars and drivetrains purely because they are expensive to import.

[@calumwardlaw457]

@R6AAO I did mean more modern but yeah

[@AshGTE]

​@@R6AAO I do believe that is a small block chevy (SBC). Definitely not an LS. You are right that the LS his hard to find but they did come in a few cars, like the vauxhall Monaro and VXR8.

[@vintagespeed]

idk why u dont slap a simple 5.3/6.0 in that thing and have a driveable vehicle.. i love carbs & dizzys but it's so much more pleasant to have a vehicle that starts & drives like a modern car. good stuff tho! 👍

Small block is the most hot roded engine ever. Gobbs of performance parts are available

My goals to get that radical into my garage FOC ❤

[@carbonfiber8071]

Step One: Disconnect Battery... Step Two: Don't set tools and parts on the paint. Good on the bagging parts and keeping up with the order of the valvetrain, etc.

I saw this at Goodwood it’s an absolute shed. The exhaust tip is such a bodge job. I’ve enjoyed this series but it all so much of a bodge with it disappointing to see built the way it is. Take your time and do it right.

Seems that it is "Engine Very Bad" situation...

[@Clem_Kadidlehopper]

With the crank and rod damage on this its prime for the stroker kit but I believe to get the full 383 cubic inches the block will need to be bored .060 over stock. At least the 2 dozen or so ive built are that way. I believe an .030 block bore makes it a 377 cubic inch. But whoever you get your kit from (ive only trusted either stock parts using a 400 cube crank rods and balancer with the proper sized pistons. Or get an) Eagle or Scat kit as they are the most trustworthy and really how many times do you wanna tear it down?

[@gabybosskingofspeed]

Like the Jaguar e type series I at 0:48 .

[@nickhughes9566]

Are you rebuilding the gearbox and painting/powder coating it?? or just paint/ powder coating?? should have removed the sump right way up...

[@chrisbanks5925]

Good work.

[@habliutfish]

Perhaps Texas Speed will donate an engine? They seem to do it for many other KZbinrs.

[@AshGTE]

If you've span a main you'll probably need a new engine as line boring it probably isn't worth the cost. Look at Summit racing. They do turn key crate engines with everything for about 5k+ shipping+ tax.

[@gavinjacques]

With it being a simple American V8, If you are going to stroke it, would it not be worth looking at lowering the compression and perhaps bolting a supercharger on top? It would be simple old school mods so no messing about with computers etc.

[@chrisktm2010]

Wouldn’t bother with that engine. You will either have to fully rebuild it and I mean fully or replace it and at that point you may as well go newer and fuel injected unit with a standalone ECU.

[@donaldmickunas8552]

First thing, get the keys and make sure your tool box is locked so your mechanic doesn't create more mess. If you don't, it's your own fault.

[@barnysgaming]

Anyone hoping this engine gets replaced with a nicely built unit with a good HP increase.

Definitely need to go Efi

[@TalkieToaster.]

@@carbonfiber8071 yeah I guess it's a logical choice given how reliable, cheap and tunable they are. Looks like its already 'hopped up', was probably a crate motor.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Would a Honda V10 fit? Or a VW W12? From a VW Phaeton? (I mean you can find those cars for next to nothing, part the rest of the car out and have an engine for free?)

[@lasskinn474]

if it's for an american v8 you might just as well go with it for sake of future simplicity. it's not like those are that hard to come by either and the aftermarket support really simplifies things if you get hungry for more power. don't get me wrong a w12 would be fun.

[@Zonkobel]

Honda V10? What Honda Engine si a V10 except some F1 engines?

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

@@Zonkobel I am not too familiar with those engines. But I am told they were used in other cars too.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

A Yamaha V8 from a Volvo might be a nice way too. Very sophisticated engine that won't break the bank but can do high revvs...

[@carbonfiber8071]

A small-block Chevy powered the Callaway Sledgehammer. It went 255 mph in the 90's and you could let your granny drive it to the store. That's faster than a Mclaren F1 by over 10 mph.

[@Hardupgarage]

In 1998 this car was mental!!

[@DavidHelliwell-t7k]

I don’t understand why you would not have freshened that motor up before putting it in the car. Don’t bother trying to rebuild that motor, go get another motor, but this time check it out before putting it in the car. Hard and expensive lesson to learn 😎

[@memsybabe]

Dont be too hard on yourself, its all part of the journey aint it? Build it, have fun with it, break it, build it better, have some more fun. Rinse and repeat... C'est la vie...
