Smeding Performance Sent me a 500HP 383 Stroker for my 1987 Monte Carlo SS

[@lesterlesabre4326]

Good to see Santa with you again

[@jasonmoore8518]

That's awsome!!😂

[@TruckCentral]

That’s a veritable masterpiece right there. You’re gonna need a glass hood. Add that to the list 😂

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Or no hood? LOL!!!

[@markhowes5669]

What an engine Randy, absolutely gorgeous, cannot wait to hear that badboy come to life !!!!!!! Continue with the great content 👌

[@brimanco]

Their KZbin channel is That Engine Guy, when I checked Smeding performance channel it wasn't there , just thought I would mention it. Good that they donated this to your car build! Will enjoy watching the build

[@darylkik777]

Randy, Congratulations and welcome to the big time. It's been a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, and laughter. Your far away fan in Wichita.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I appreciate that man! Wichita isn't too far!

[@joer8399]

I'm more of a Ford guy when it comes to American cars, but you cant help but admire a 480 hp small block. Plus, no computers or expensive electronics unlike modern cars.

[@kylerwalker]

Omg man I love it 🤩 it's so beautiful man I can't wait to see it go in! and thanks to smeding performance and holly great job!!! For helping Randy we appreciate it

[@brettjohnson8722]

I am a Ford guy, but I love the 87 Monte especially the SS

[@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032]

I used to have a 85 Cutlass Brougham... blew up the 307, dropped a 350 in it... total sleeper! Literally used to smoke people with a "grandpa car"!

[@rickyricardo4433]

I like it sir. I was debating on either go LS or 383. After watching this video I’m considering on going with a 383 stroker and run it with my Holley efi sniper.

[@9thgatedim273]

@@rickyricardo4433 go ls please 7k for 480hp waht a rip off find u a engine builder $10 per hp

[@JGarcia2016]

That 383 will be a tire slayer lol 😂

[@haskellburks]

Good morning Randy and Mike aka Santa's Workshop. Getting the Smeding Performance Engine. Now you can finally get started on the Monte Carlo.

[@dougmahoney5872]

Excited to see your build on this!! Should be really cool! Hope it works out!!!

[@MapOfEurasia]

Ooohhh what a sweet engine! I saw the build video 🤩 The Monte Carlo SS is gonna sing! ❤️

[@Ulford]

Great looking engine there Randy. It will sound amazing. Happy to hear that Austin might come over. I sure miss him.

[@christophermason3191]

Can't wait to hear this bad boy run

[@MBPC21]

I watched the video from your link with the build on your engine … absolutely sweet ! Can’t wait to see it all put together in the Monte Carlo !

[@olemissjim]

Dude! What a sick build! Can’t wait to see the project!

[@toolzshed]

Whoa haven't seen Austin in a long while

[@lilibethdoherty295]

A SBC with all the power you will ever need for the Street !

[@JacksoNR26]

Awesome, smeding preformance is a wonderful company. I always appreciate there products.

[@excopcar7907]

Let the build begin randy, I'm watching every episode brother.

[@WolfWorksGarage]

Love the sound of a healthy small block.

[@2003cobramustang]

Wow so true Randy beautiful engine! The SS is gonna be a beast! Going to make a great power tour car!

[@WokeSteve]

With Santa helping can't go wrong.

[@mikesharp8653]

Can't wait to see that bad boy installed. Gonna be a fun ride!

[@soelenny]

Looking out to see your build for this . Beautiful piece of art

[@derekstine937]

Watched the build on this and man it sounded awesome

[@michaeldilorenzo8464]

That is a sweet engine. If you ever decide to send the Monte to auction, it would be cool if you and Mike could take it to Mecum.That would be something different for the channel. It's a nice car and with that engine, man, it's a winner. Can't wait for the video and hear that bad boy running. I'm sure you will have to take it to Mexico to bury the speedo

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Good looking engine! Can’t wait to see it in the MC.

[@JWH4444-x1l]

Sounds like a sweet setup…good pick on the engine

[@michaelwyatt8030]

Hi Randy what a beautiful motor can’t wait to se it when done. And drive it for the first time Randy

[@trentryan27]

Nice, can't wait to see this thing rip as I'm sure you can't wait to either

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Just waiting on a fel more parts!!

[@rce59]

Looks great. It’s definitely going to fly once the trans is hooked up.

[@bungeycord5971]

Looks great Randy!

[@williamm.vazquez8801]

Congratulations

[@FatSal619]

Santa Freaking Rules ☝🏽🤠

[@darelkilcrease3338]

You got it ✨👍✨cool Randy ..fun…fun 😀

[@mauricethestrongchannel7143]

I am pumped for this

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Congratulations Randy…hats off to your sponsors. You should put that engine and trans into your step side truck…then have the trucks engine fixed and jam it into to the Monte Carlo. IMHO the truck is cooler than the MC.

[@paulangus3067]

Three power tours😂😂 I will be shocked if it makes it to one. That thing will be sold in less than a month when you're done putting it together. It's your track record😂😂😂😂

[@donaldmetz8586]

So exciteing...

[@coreyverrett8117]

Awe man that's a beautiful engine

[@6.0999]

Such a cool video to eat breakfast too😅

[@bk_goatkim679]

This’ll be a fun project! Keep it up randy ❤

[@djsonic6533]

What a beast!! Can wait to see you ripping them tires. Just don't get rocks thrown at you 😂

[@charlesking1244]

Good Morning Randy, It’s Good Seeing You & Michael (Santa’s Workshop) Back At It Again, This Is An Exciting Build On A Cool Car Man!! Can’t Wait To See That New Heart Dropped On That Super-Sport, Monte Carlo, Cant Wait To Hear That 383 Stroker Running & Driving Man..

[@donteblack7294]

Looks great 👍🏾 👊🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ronwig7665]

Good morning randy and mike, that is a beautiful engine

[@tinystar3010]

I can see why you just looked at for 20 minutes. All the stylistic choices of where to use black, versus polished aluminum, to cast silver... This engine is a beauty to look at. Almost a shame to use it and get it dirty lol

[@Michael-l9u4z]

I been waiting on mine since the beginning of February I got them building a custom 700r4 transmission should be done by the end of May I can't wait

[@Michael-l9u4z]

Have you ran yours yet? How does it run?

[@devin9880]

I like y our area wish I lived close to you!! (your shop) , I looked up that area on Zillow :) 55K for that place nice!! So cool you have 2 lots , houses etc.

[@Jon_2218]

Please cover it back up until works commence so as no outside contaminants enter into that engine anywhere, its a awesome build.

[@toolzshed]

Whoa that's a cool engine 😲🤘🏽🔥

[@TheLexusIS250Dude]

Hey Randy congrats and what a beautiful engine can't wait to see it installed on the Monte. It's going to be bad ass. I think Santa Workshop should also get an engine from smeading on his El Caballero that would be bad ass too. And that would be good car to take to power tour if he comes with you and monkey wrench. Keep up the great content as well.

[@peterkwok9608]

Nice Engine Randy 😎😎👍👍

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks 👍

[@yntenseinfo]

This is good, really good!

[@carlbernard4197]

Yrs the Stroker has arrived!! Time to punch it! 😊😊😊😊

[@michaelmarion7161]

Keep up good work

[@PaDdOcKcHanNeL1]

Guess whose back, 🎅 back again 🎅, da da dadada..

[@dee_2330]

Great video. 👍🏾

[@danielkern1110]

Hey Randy, just saw your video on the new engine for the Monte Carlo. That’s awesome engine. I hope you’re ready for the power tour of 2024 I can’t wait to see you on video because I know you do the power tomorrow with monkey wrench Mike every year so I can’t wait to see the video on that one and I can’t wait to see the tear down and build back up on this new engine you got for the Monte Carlo can’t wait to see the video and if you would, please tell Cell tell Mike from Santa’s workshop I said hi and I like I said I can’t wait to see the next video on the teardown of the engine of the Monte Carlo in the build back up from the one from Smitty performance. Can’t wait to see the video man please keep your videos coming as much as you can. I watch them every time you have one out and I’m already ascribed to my monkey wrench Mike Santas workshop, Austin, Austin cars. i’m already a scribe to all of you guys, so just keep the videos coming man I’ll talk to you later have a good day

[@juliandavis4318]

🎉🎉🎉

[@toolzshed]

Yayyy Mr. Michael 😀🤘🏽🔥

[@txtchjmb29]

Randy, Awesome engine!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks!

[@carlbernard4197]

Coopers are going to bake soon! 😮😮😮😊😊😊

[@johnathanpatrick5055]

You should do a video of taking the old one out and putting new one in plus the first drive with the new engine.

[@MrClutch440T4]

Randy, you may want to put the actual link to "That Engine Guy" video with his web site video. It was kinda hard to find the actual video of your 383 stroker. I can't tell from the video but you may want to install a fuel pump with a return line for hot weather or else you may get vapor lock and hard restarting due to fuel boiling into the carb. With a return line it would allow the pressure to go back into the tank instead of the carb.

[@jonah8961]

It would be cool to group up with Austin Carr , Santa and friends on Power Tour 2024 .

[@lollipop84858]

I got a tunnel rammed 406 from them like the one they have the video posted about. It made about 30hp less power than the one they did the video on. Identical engine. It made the same power locally on the dyno as on their dyno sheet, but was missing 30hp over the one in their video. It made less than their single carb 406 on their site. I'd imagine yours to not be the same as advertised either.

[@mhawkins1975]

Come on then Randy let’s the the car in and let’s get it fitted can’t wait to hear that puppy running

[@jonathankent5898]

This will be an awesome build! I'm looking forward to seeing this! Have you decided on what to do with the original drivetrain yet?

[@aleskyfinis1025]

Wow 😮

[@tommyhall2768]

Nice motor for the Mc

[@cuzz63]

Smeding and Blueprint both make their own blocks. Dont know if Blueprint has the same differences or not. The hand blended valve bowls means someone took a tool and cleaned up the casting in the heads..its not actual porting. Since the heads are made for them they were cast from heads that were ported.

[@freeandresrivera]

would be cool for you and MWM to get one of these for the green imp in his copart walk around.

[@mightyjoe618]

Only thing I would change is the spark plugs.

[@philipbickham7551]

Can not forget the oul

[@diamon4u]

500 HP dubious

[@barryfrederick3305]

This engine can also be installed on Mike's 1979 gmc El cabrello

I always wanted to put NASCAR steelies & yellow letter Goodyear Eagles for mine think Coker is making replicas

[@trizzlepgrew1505]

Randy what are you gonna do about the rear gears and axels and I love the 383

[@toolzshed]

Powahhhhh 🤘🏽🔥

[@ezesrebuilds1174]

Whoever is watching this video, never give up on your dreams.😇

[@Oyvind88]

Awsome😀🔥

[@alecwade6737]

You should try putting an efi on it. Since the car originally had efi.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Ummm the car originally is a Rochester quadrajet which is what it has now….

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

Being the certified mechanic that I'm not, you need to drain that oil and refill with Rotella 50SAE diesel motor oil has it has the vitamins and minerals needed for that engine 😉🤣😎

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

This engine doesn’t need any of that as it’s a roller engine. Only flat tappet needs zinc.

[@Austintheredneck]

Dang when you get the engine in you need to get a cowl hood for monte Carlo

[@Expatriate1977]

Niiiice!

[@craigsanderson6974]

So did they sponsor you with this engine?

[@ELViSLOK]

Nice. I like the monte Carlo. Am curious why u didn’t pick the grand national for the build ? What’s the difference between them?

[@michaelearl2455]

Guessing putting an aftermarket engine in that GN would have been like sacrilege. That GN, although not perfect was super nice. The right enthusiast needs to get a hold of that and fix it and finish the restoration. The 87 Monte on the other hand, nice, but not really a collector car. .

[@alexcorral855]

What transmission is he pairing w it?

[@Austintheredneck]

Dang when you get the engine you need to get a cowl hood for monte Carlo

[@nathantatosian280]

Hi Randy

[@stoveguy2133]

Emissions legal?

[@donteblack7294]

👍🏾👊🏽

[@111Aardvark]

I wouldn't be letting that thing out of my sight ...

[@Achieveguy]

Did you forget the engine builder link?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I did, and it's fixed thanks to you!

[@keithrevst692]

That is not a bad price for a custom built turn key motor
