Old School Hot Rod Engine and Performance Shop Tour - The way things used to be!

[@CraigMalik76]

The man , the myth, the legend. Growing up just outside of Sparta in the 80's, my father and all of his friends had spoke of Bill Little. Since I was 12 he always vowed that Bill would be the only person to ever lay hands on his GTO and build the engine the car deserved. Having never met Bill back then, but listening to him now, he is exactly as described, incredibly knowledgable and kind, not afraid to discuss and share. Thank you Alan for introducing me to Bill, one of the few times in the life where the person lives up to the hype.

[@goldsgarage8236]

Well deserved recognition for Bill. Thanks User. AG

[@davidparizek6741]

Alan, Thanks for the shop tour, Wow Bill has a lot of work and is very knowledgeable I could listen to him all day. You should encourage Bill to start his own channel I think it would do very well.

[@goldsgarage8236]

I am sure he would David. We have another great video with Bill coming soon, watch for it.AG

[@Bobschoppshop]

Really liked this tour of his shop I’m looking forward to more videos with Bill and his knowledge. He really should have his own KZbin channel 👍

[@goldsgarage8236]

Thanks for watching and commenting Bob. AG

[@roberthollinshead2325]

[@allanfranco4464]

THAT IS A VERY TRUE STATEMENT THAT I KNOW

Morning Alan and Bill. great video, real impressed with you Maple Leaf boys. Nice tour of the shop and extensive backstories to the hot rods Bill is working on . Brings back wonderful memories of my shop time in Sydney all those years ago. Cheers mates.

[@goldsgarage8236]

Hello Sydney. One of my top cities in terms of views. AG

[@ponga782]

[@shteveo1735]

Great video‼️ wealth of knowledge right there between Al and Bill!

[@goldsgarage8236]

Thanks very much for the nice comment.AG

[@danapike3152]

I really enjoy listening to guys like Bill. His information on the 700r4 and the 200r4 was very informative its good to know there is a guy out there that can build a strong 200r4 transmission.

[@grabasandwich]

200-4R cores must be getting pretty scarce these days eh?

[@goldsgarage8236]

Thank you for watching and commenting.AG

[@jesseduke694]

That's really cool! That guy has his work cut out for him! I'm a FE guy so I'm interested in his 428 build.

Lock up converter with a carb needs a vac switch, a brake switch and a throttle switch.

[@jeanlawson9133]

Thanks good stuff.....I could have fun turning wrenches around that Fella....❤

[@goldsgarage8236]

Thanks for the comment Jean.AG

[@roberthollinshead2325]

@goldsgarage8236 awesome video! Bill's knowledge should be shared with everyone. I know a couple of people that eat, breathe, and live this stuff at his level and it just amazes me. If these guys could just download their knowledge into the current generation as a starting point could you imagine the possibilities?

[@goldsgarage8236]

Good point Robert. One way to download that knowledge is by KZbin. We will be making more videos with Bill. AG

[@arneminderman3770]

Great video!! Thanks!!

[@robertheymann5906]

Wow, so much experience

[@goldsgarage8236]

Thanks for the comment Robert, we have another great video with Bill coming soon.AG

[@kenwatts5410]

Thanks but I meant, Speed Pro, Hastings, Total Seal etc.

[@davidreed6070]

Another enjoyable video as always.

[@goldsgarage8236]

Thanks David. AG

[@samferguson6839]

Very good episode, like watching what people are doing with their engines.. Question, on the LS engines what are these guys doing to fix the crappy oiling system weak valve train and what about the cam bearings walking out of the bores in the block.. I have no confidence in LS engines durability.. I am replacing these engines all the time with bearing failures before 100,000 miles.. Seems like 1999 through 2001 are the best of the LS engines for durability see them with over 200,000 miles but not so much after that.

[@goldsgarage8236]

Thanks for your comments Sam.AG

[@kenwatts5410]

I always like to know what rings he likes to use on his builds

[@goldsgarage8236]

Hey Bill, this is your video so please feel free to weigh in on any questions or comments. AG

[@COUNTSLURPULA]

[@dirtlump]

So do you guys do the actual 'machining' on the Engine there ? or just the Assembly work ?

[@billlittle4285]

I do head work but machine work is done by Atchison machine in London by my specs, been doing that for 35 years,I haven't the time to do it all working by myself, I make a bit and can still get more done while they're doing the block stuff, I do porting and seat and guide work , the stuff that makes hp

[@doughelmle6575]

Hope bill has some help.He"s got alot of work!

[@billlittle4285]

I work by myself, can control things better, I make mistakes but can correct them, an employee I won't know till it comes back, it's hard to do my wife just shakes her head lol

[@rvmonkey1669]

Sounds like Bill has enough work already for the rest of the year
