Basically, Josh and Ralphie had to fibrilate the titration to make that binko head cam button fit. This 454 big block is slowly coming together and will be ready for any kind of weather, just as long as that binko cam button fits. I'm not nerdy like these guys but can appreciate the complications. The black cat wanted to supervise, but decided to take a power nap instead...thanks to Marge for the great camera work on this vlog...the big block vlog. The baby goats are so cute!

A hundred years ago, when I was a lad, I remember reading a Car Craft article where they punched a hole in the timing cover. It was centered on the center of the camshaft. They installed a bolt in the hole in the timing cover, and were able to adjust it in and out to set clearance.

Love the Fairmonts always had a wagon growing up. No one else liked them so they were cheap and easy to work on.

[@Sleeperdude]

Totally agree

[@adamtereska8734]

I agree. They make what I call a great "shock rod." Imagine the shock of one's Camaro getting its butt whooped by a Fairmont, especially a wagon. And I love those Fairmont wagons.

1:16:27 - with respect to the fans, instead of removing the existing fan, you may want to add a pusher fan in front of the radiator. Especially for track use.

[@dlyall26]

I need to learn how to stack dimes like that. My cousin can, but he should be able to. He worked for iron workers of America, and he helped build Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis . He says he welded our grandparents' names up in the beams of the roof.

lift vs duration is how i got around the rulebook in racing a "stock" class on dirt the rule book said it must remain stock hight said nothing about duration so have it open longer not further. the rule book now says it must have the stock or stock replacement parts number, still doesn't say anything about modifying it. I'm now retired from driving and engine building and 2,000 miles away but still giving the championship-winning tips both my dodging the rules and my dads decades of engine building and set up notes. the best set up note I found is a solution to a car being loose on an oval track is "control use of right foot"

[@Wass1967]

That last time you were getting on it before you were coming home, the smile that creeps upon Wawa's face And the big smile coming from the backseat is priceless. That says it all. You have a nice wholesome family. and they enjoy working with you. And you encourage squeeze so much and accept that she doesn't care about the cars. But you encourage her to be her. That is awesome! I wish I could afford to buy some merchandise but I'm on fixed income. I watch a lot of you individuals on here and can't wait till the weekend to see the videos. Junkyard digs, Dylan McCool, no nonsense no-how, vise grip garage. It all reminds me of when me and my brother worked on cars. Not afraid to tear into them and get to the problem and either just fix it or make it better. I remember working with my brother on his 65 mustang when he dropped a 351 Windsor in it. He had to put station wagon springs on the front and air shocks on the back just to level it out. It almost looked like it could go off-road lol. But when that thing hooks up it scares the crap out of you! And that's what puts that smile upon your faces. I've rode in one other car that scared the crap out of me and that was a 70 or 71 AAR cuda clone and instead of the 340 he had a 440 6-pack. And after he warmed up the tires and did a hole shot, you couldn't even reach for the dash if you tried lol I know you've drove things faster. I'd love to just sit and talk to you or help work with you just for a day. I feel like I know you and I'm a complete stranger. That's why people come up to you. I know it scares you but we're all one big automotive family. And technology connects us. Sorry for the long post, if you read this far, I use speak to text.
