I so agree. Neighbor, Ruby tha Dale truck,, they're the Cleetus McFarland hotrods for sure. LeRoy is FAST, he's unique, well, he WAS when Cleetus first brought him out BUT there's quite a few 'copies' out there now BUT he's not the Cleetus image Neighbor and Ruby are. Used to be we seldom saw a car making a pass without all the body work on 'em,, then the racing community met LeRoy and the racing scene changed. S'ok, LeRoy will be back out there soon, break'n hearts and making grown men cry all the while setting NEW RECORDS in the process.

[@fordmud]

As a welder I don't know how that engine mount is going to work out, you can't really weld cast iron without alot of prep, mostly preheat and letting it cool very slowly along with using the right filler and slowly welding and using a needle scaler to help prevent stress as it's welded. I was watching on the big screen and could already see the crack developing in the weld. I usually don't like being the negative one here but please keep an eye on that mount.

[@austinwelch1132]

Looked like there was already a crack in the fresh weld too, which isn't uncommon when welding steel to cast iron without proper prep... Hell, even with proper prep. That's why I prefer to braze if it's not cast to cast, but the vibration could be an issue.

I feel for Tye welding the motor mounts on. Back many years ago, I worked in a shop and we got cast iron knitting heads from a textile mill come periodically that had cracked and started leaking oil. Old guy that I apprenticed under had finally came up with a system to weld them. After extensive cleaning and prepping, we would build a temp furnace out of fire brick, get the head in there, ( it weighed about 350#) slide a burner in through a slot and heat the head slowly until it was dull cherry red. Turn the flame off, open the furnace, slide it out, and braze it with acetylene torch and brass rod. Finish up brazing as fast as possible, and then slide it back in the furnace and close it up to cool off slowly. Worked great. He tried everything before to weld them, nickel rod with pre heating, tig with different alloy rods, etc. Nothing worked except the furnace deal. Some of the hottest days I ever had putting your head inside that head and brazing it.

[@Timman57]

Sounds like a solid way to do it, shame they can't really do that with that engine block though with what they're trying to accomplish

Was suppose to have them today and the ex jsut ignores my messages to pick them up and becasue of Covid the courts are so behind it’s taking forever to get this taken care of. Hardest couple years of my life but trying to find little bits of life in the darkness. Just wanting to give them the Love and attention of an adoring dad that every other dad gets to show after divorce, missing being 24/7 dad becasue someone knew how to take advantage of the system. Thankyou for your response, that’s a little bit of light and means a lot.

[@williamstamper442]

@@MZ-bl6wg I am so very sorry. I must be an empath because I felt your pain and can relate. First of all, you are correct in that this is all WRONG. Second of all you are a red blooded man if this situation hurts. Third you are here using automotive entertainment to kind of take the sting off all that has went down. I've got 3 children 2 different mom's. My daughter is 17 going on 21. She surprise visited me 2 days ago just to say hi. She reminded me how she needs grandpa's 1968 Oldsmobile red convertible for her graduation next year. I just said yeah it will be ready. My 2 sons...last time I seen them was april 19, 2015 at 9:15pm. I literally have not saw them one time since that date. No I didn't do anything stupid or unlawful. I had legal parenting time with my 2 young sons at the time, while the soon to be ex was prego with somebody else's baby. She didn't answer the phone all day for her "call". At 9pm I'd been playing all day with my 3 kids and my then gf's 2 kids. We did cool fun stuff all day. I cooked dinner for everyone and had to lay down and take a break as I was simply wore out. The ex came with the cops and seen my new gf and freaked and made excuses that I hurt my children. The cops said she should take them. I didn't even have a say so in the whole thing. I fought this for 3 years straight till I was totally and completely out of money. Every single time we went before that f.o.c. "judge" it just got worse. After another 3 years trying I just ran out of resources and breath.. My 2 sons are now 11 and 9 respectively. I don't even know what they look like. The daughters mother got with the 2 sons mother during divorce and made me out to be a terrible person then high 5'd after the hearing. My attorney pulled me out of there. Those two conspired to get my dollar worth. They didn't get it but I lost my kids. The two mother's were trying to get at my retirement fund. That was something you can't just take from like a bank account but they tried. I kept working and paid $2340 per month as a regular mechanic, while taking home $1240 per month after taxes and all. Did this till I had health problems. First I started going blind. Then it progressed fast and I was diagnosed with MS. Now my 3 children's mother's get a full $844 per month per child and I still pay arrears that I don't owe, almost $1000 per month. Living off of $1048 per month and whatever I can sell from my personal property. Don't care if people don't believe me, I know people who been dragged thru this system does because this crap exists. That is my empathy part, I know how you feel my friend. It's not right and never will be. I bet money you live in a liberal blue state or at least a blue city. This is why things are this way. Again... I wish you the very best my friend. Contact me anytime if it all gets to feel like too much.

@@theKashConnoisseur That is not how good business works, bud. I wish these dumb ass comments from people who never ran a business would stop. I have been self employed for 30+ years, something being "deductible" doesn't make it a good business decision. If the motor cost 10,000 and you save the taxes on it, say around $3500 for 35% tax bracket, you are still losing $6500. Losing 6500 is not good unless you find a way to make money on it, say with KZbin views, then and only then does losing $6500 not eventually bankrupt a business.

My dad put a 340 in his '70 charger in the '70s and drag raced it every day. The 340 is still in it, but we're restoring it now. He shifted at 9-10k rpm every time he raced. 340 is a destroyed 360, made for like AAR cudas and stuff. Hot ass engines. But this 340 is far from stock, and originally came out of a sprint car.

I for sure didn't give Sam enough credit. I may be an EFI foetus, but it totally blows my mind he just *knows* what carb jet to use

He's old school... thats the way to go... no computers

[@sddragon28]

Though I liked the old 360, the new motor is the best find for that car!

[@AB-80X]

It's still an LA 360, so what's so different?

[@69Dartman]

It's basically a special race block and the best heads Mopar had for the small block back when that engine was current. It should rip and take the abuse that car will get.

[@AB-80X]

@@69Dartman What do you base that off of? Looks like an LA block to me.

Neighbor hands down. That car has seen so many burnout/drifts and keeps on going like a champ.

[@buckberthod5007]

@@xcursion6326 That engine wasn't blown. It had a lifter tick. Something super common to high mileage LS Chevy engines. Blown would mean spun bearing, bent rod, deleted pistons. Not lifter tick. Hell I drove my truck 6 months with a completely snapped roller lifter for 3 months almost every day with no problems. Down on power, but still ran just fine. I finally got around to fixing it, changed the oil, and it still runs fine. So yes, it's clickbait.

Dude you're 100% right. Watching it on my TV and you can see a crack running right down the middle of that entire weld lol

[@michaellong9736]

It is cast isn’t it? In my welding of cast on the farm, you have to either weld it with high nickel cast rod(SMAW), or get both pieces orange hot, and then weld it in order for it to hold.(MIG or TIG) And even then, you have to plan for the piece to significantly warp towards the last weld that’s laid. It’s usually never easy to get cast to hold a good weld. Lot’s of heat, and high nickel, and a slow cool down time. I’m sure they did a good job. Heck yea brother.

[@bryandepiazzy8679]

@@michaellong9736 yup. Preheat, weld it then needs to cool off at the same rate as they cool at different rates

I really like the rims on the white mustang. Usually, put these shiny flower rims on their cars, but this number 69 mustang has those industrial steel plated rims, and the color scheme choice reminds me of old nascar. You should of put it in a race track along with tournaments before blowing it up.
