73 Plymouth Satellite SLEEPER Hemi Install! Street Sweeper Part 3 - Stacey David's Gearz S8 E13

I never would have thought of super glue for a small cut on my hands etc, I'm not a mechanic/gearhead, but I do have those moments. Thank you Stacey

[@SilverWolfM200LDH]

Thanks so much for posting full episodes, I loved watching Gearz on TV and I loved watching TRUCKS with Stacey David in high school. I've always loved American Muscle and "sleepers".

[@gicknordon]

The front and rear suspension dont seem to fit each other. The front is a heavy duty setup that is strengthened for cornering and road racing. The rear suspension is a ladder bar setup that is great for drag racing, but is not the best choice for road racing. Just seems like the front rear and rear suspensions are for two different applications.

[@ragingbull3407]

There goes the " sleeper" look. He could have used a factory rally dash updated with modern electronics. I would have kept the column shifter and bench seat, widened steel wheels with the same hubcaps.

[@topenddean]

Ragingbull340 That's pretty much what I did with my '71 Challenger. Indy 528 Legend with an aluminum block and heads making the same 750hp as the Ray Barton Stacy used. I went with a 5 speed stick and an XV Motorsports Level I suspension and three piece billet wheels and 186+mph tires. It's made for top end and oddly enough I am still running the 10" drum brakes and have been for over 11 years. I'm up grading the front suspension again and I'll be putting some bigger brakes on it but I just laugh when the "Know-It-All" internet experts tell everybody that "you just ain't gonna stop 700+ hp with the brakes that will fit under the stock 14" wheels" LOL, I ran the steel 15" stock wheels with the red circle Doge dog dish hub caps for years and never had an issue. It's about knowing what your car can do and what it can't do and having the skill to control it in any given situation. I've literally never been in a situation I couldn't handle with this car and I have run it up to 186 mph (verified with state government documentation...lol) with those "Ain't gonna stop it" 10" drums.

I don't know if 2.5" is adequate for what he's running, but 2.5" exhaust times two is NOT the same as a 5" exhaust. Diameter is not what matters for comparisons like that, it's AREA. A 2.5" exhaust tube has 19.63 square inches of cross-sectional area. That's how much space the gas has to leave. a 5" exhaust has a cross-sectional area of 78.54 square inches! You'd need QUAD 2.5" pipes to move the same volume. I've watched Stacey since he was on trucks and I love his show, but even Stacey makes mistakes, and this is one of them.

[@st.george9404]

Stacey has just show you how you can lose your way during your build. You start with an idea on the build then at the end your project is completely different then originally envisioned and a whole lot more expensive then your original estimates. It happens. my advice is to hang a sign in your shop where you look at it all the time with your original build ideas on it. In this case the words sleeper should be in bold letters. Every day look at that sign and plan on how you can stay on track. Hope this helps someone and have a good day.

[@terracethornhill]

A 2.5" pipe has a cross section of 4.9 sq/in, a 5" pipe has a cross section of 19.6 sq/inches, so it would take four 2.5" pipes to equal the flow of a single 5" pipe. Two 2.5" pipes are roughly equal to a 3.5" pipe.

[@drew3811]

Fantastic show! 👍🏻

[@Mick_A_Knuckle]

That huge rear sway bar isn't for cornering. You're not going to be cornering quickly with a ladder bar setup. The sway bar is to keep the rear suspension from twisting the body of the car under launch so it will leave the line flat with both tires equally loaded.

[@HGSolberg]

Regarding the exhaust: Two 2.5 inch pipes don't flow the same as one 5 inch. That's nonsense. If you had basic math at primary school , you would know that the area of a circle is Pi*(D^2)/4. So, the cross sectional area of two 2.5 inch pipes is 9.82 square inch, which is practically the same as one 3.5 inch pipe at 9.62 square inch. One 5 inch pipe is 19.64 square inch. In addition, one 3.5 inch pipe will in most cases flow better than two 2.5 inch pipes, because there is more surface area in two 2.5 inch pipes than in one 3,5 inch pipe. This creates more drag. Two 2.5 inch pipes are small on a 750hp Hemi.
