Amazing content lately gents! Loving how animated Al has been of late, can't half tell he's enjoying building his own car for once haha.

[@nosebergs-are-at-it-again]

he'll just sell it after 6 weeks like every other of his personal car builds. I don't think he really enjoys driving cars, just working on them

[@elitecol69]

@@nosebergs-are-at-it-again he wont sell it, too much history and hes had it for so long.

Epic skid at the end, bar is set for the first skid with the new engine

[@AbbStar1989]

Love this channel. Love Allan and Woody. Can't even remember how long I've been watching this channel since Marty and Moog gave them a leg up.

[@justinpimblett2467]

The sound of it is very much every man's dreams just lumpy and grumpy keep up the great work boys

Lumpy and grumpy. Sorry Justin, I'm using this.

It's hard to tell on video, but if your LED tail light bulbs are coming through a bit on the yellow side, Classic Car LEDs in the UK make really nice warm white bulbs that show a lot more nicely through old style red lenses. Shipping to AU is extremely reasonable, too. I fitted a complete set of their gear to my Valiant years ago, the quality is right up there, and none of them has failed on me or given any trouble. Their switchbacks for incorporating white, amber, or red functions into a single location also work flawlessly.

[@Perspari]

Great tip thanks

That bonnet is freaking amazing. The little things done so well impresses me so much.

Hello from Arizona! I been following a couple years, good to see it coming alive.

[@needmoreboost6369]

Super crisp! I’m pretty sure you won’t be complaining about that exhaust and It’s got to be rowdy to drive another top notch build!

[@thewoomelanghotel8756]

I saw that little burnout at the end. The TOJO Crown lives again. My grandfather bought my then very young Mum a Luxury Crown around 1974 (I was about 4 and am pretty sure it was a V8). She actually refused to take it - afterward he drove it around Parramatta for a while and had a massive prang in it. I Remember it sitting all bent up at the side of his antique shop for a few years and the hang dog look he had when we walked past it. Thanks for bringing back the memories guys

[@rollabearing]

I would also add to make sure you have a fire extinguisher in your shed. I have dry chem and CO2 for electronic and fuel fires. They are cheap compared to losing your pride and joy!

[@richmanricho]

Thats the shed skid I remember seeing from many many moons ago! glad the footage is still around!

Turbo Yoda a Woodrigues are propper mechanics. Just been beaten down to humbleness by many a failure and engine that just won't behave. As such they're absolutely knowledgeable of their limits, and know when and where to ask for help. Also they take every opportunity to call out the ones that are helpful, and share a similar attitude. I'm not really into cars, especially not the petrol head models these fellahs like, but I absolutely love your videos, all the years of experience and skills that go into making them, all the clever editing, all the passion and knowledge. True blue bloody heroes, all of ya

Sounds mint boys! You really aren’t drag-ging your feet if you’ve already started the next build 😉

My new kitten is loving the sound of that motor at idle!

[@rosscarter4309]

This has to be the meanest build on the tube at the moment. Love it

[@unclewals]

Thumbs up literally first 30 seconds from that sound, looks and sounds the part ! Well done lads !

[@gazmosis87]

The skid at the end 😲 The crown was one hell of a sleeper. I guess the new iteration hides the monster underneath fairly well, although I can't imagine it will be anywhere near as quiet as the 2J 🤣

[@joealex65]

That chops HARD! Can't wait to hear some supercharger whine at full tilt on the Dyno! 😁 PD: Happy to hear you guys will be at Drag Week (maybe only Al?), but sad at the same time because it won't be with Benny since the Cresta won't be in the states in time for Drag Week 😥

The Crown sounds nice. This is one heck of a build. 👍

[@reubensteel4632]

Looks and sounds brilliant good work guys. I had one slightly off topic question, what is that little black box with the blue lights on your hat ?

[@theskidfactory]

That’s a Rode wireless microphone

[@KeithHeinrich]

All thumbs up on this build. Hako was impressive, this even more so.

[@madrew2003]

Shoutout for the Wallace placement Woodie! lol

[@b1pig]

Good to hear it running.

[@Tonyclifton-q4f]

had exactly the same car as a 21 year old and i thought i was the smartest in town when i jammed a 289 Ford Windsor and a top loader under the bonnet ,then this monster turns up and blows it away ,outstanding finish just perfect

[@theskidfactory]

I have heard of Windsors going in them, do you remember how the front sump well fitted?

[@Tonyclifton-q4f]

@@theskidfactory hey thankyou for the reply ,i had an issue with the oil pick up and engine mounts so i got a fella in Bayswater to help me with the crossmember and sump ,John Taverna ,i worked in a campervan place ,i helped him with fitting out a camper and in trade he got one of hes workers to sort out a few lil things ,sort of a barter deal

Awesome, keep an eye on the belt after the supercharger pulley...looks like it gets pretty loose when reved.

That thing sounds gnarly Al! Congrats - I know you're stoked.

That thing sound like a weapon. Can tell it's a motor by Frank. Love ya work fellas. Best channel on the tube

[@bbassett]

That opening is on point. Incredible work

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Car sounds great and that bonnet bulge just seems to fit perfectly with the shape of the car , all around impressive work !

[@-MacCat-]

The cackle from that motor definitely sounds like "a blown, old school, methanol (and) carby engine" and DEFINITELY gives you "street cred"! Sadly, which is arguable, it can, and should, be tuned to run at its best which means no more cackle BUT more power & drivability etc. etc. Great job guys! Thanks for the share.

[@STAG162]

that intro was worth the price of admission alone! 😁

[@shanekeigher5099]

Love the video’s guys! So glad to see Al working on his own car 🙂!

[@josephacker5716]

How come the trans coolers I always see mounted horizontally right underneath the vehicle? To me it seems like it wouldn't get adequate airflow by blocking off one side of it with the underbody. How come its not stacked up front by the radiator, power steering coolers, or CACs?

[@MegaKrustyman]

Freakin' mint boys. Hey what's the go at 17:03, 17:28 and 17:41? There looks to be a little orange flicker in the valley back near the firewall, almost looks like a flame or a light. You can see it from both sides of the engine, but most noticeable at 17:41 from the passenger side.

[@theskidfactory]

That's the led light on the MSD cam sensor.

That front belt tensioner needs another tensioner? Saw that belt jump 1/4" up off the right-most idler.

[@haydenritchie9198]

Amazing build guys! Please don’t change the way to sounds

[@jaycrank8163]

What about putting a spacers under the throttle body with a angle down to give more space.

[@Paul_VanGo]

It looks like the Poly-V is "flapping about" so much that it's actually touching itself. May be something to look at. What a great car it has become!

Bro, The Crown sounds Awesome 😎 (Yeah, fair enough, it may change a bit , once it’s Dyno’ed, (s/p?), but you’ll have to be happy with that, right?!) Can’t get over the sound coming from a Crown; when I was a little fella, my Uncle Barry let me drive us home after work, in his Brown & Tan Vinyl Roof Crown, so brings back happy memories.

[@timwise6876]

Great video thanks ! Congrats on it running. That bonnet scoop looks perfect !

[@CharleyGeorge]

Look back at the video around 17:28 and on. The belt slaps around a bit. It is probably a bit loose. It might be a good idea checking that out.

[@theskidfactory]

I have a different lower pulley, it will be changed and the belt will be tighter. It's just the tensioner at the end of it's travel due to the pulleys being swapped around during dyno testing.

[@CharleyGeorge]

@@theskidfactory Excellent. I just saw that slop at certain points and would have hated to see something go wrong after all that work. My father used to race boats on the great lakes and on the ocean. We had many problems like that like when the timing chain blew and ripped the whole engine to bits because of no double checking.
