Zac’s Big Block Blazer Gets the Most Important Mod Ever: AC

[@TheRipster777]

There is a subtle art to advertising that doesn't feel like advertising... Vintage air just got 16 minutes of screen time that's probably more valuable than 50 normal ads. Hoonigan is killing it in more ways than one.

[@DrDave77]

exactly. And man they let it look soo easy peasy piff puff "A/C" - BOOM

[@Yvolve]

This is probably the closest you'll ever get to true word-of-mouth advertising, which is the most effective kind. If a friend tells you something is good, you believe them (usually). Viewers put trust in the opinion of the hosts, as they identify with them and feel like they know them as sort of a friend. The way this is shot is very off-the-cuff and personal, making it easy to have this connection as a viewer. Zack being genuinely stoked about the install makes this feel like it's not an ad, but VintageAir doing him a favour, making them look good as well. The guys installing it are also genuine and knowledgeable, not some marketing team dudes who got sent out to make the product look good. Brian Scotto and co. are geniuses, nothing less.

[@jacobkohanowski2526]

Same thing with painless performance when he wired up Boomhauer. I immediately went to their website to see what was up and I can imagine I’m not the only one. However they both seem to be genuinely good products/ brands so no one can talk shit about it being just an advertisement 👌🏻

[@TheRipster777]

How many drift cars have we seen on a Hoonigan channel with a winters quick change diff? I used to think that only drag racers used those, I look at winters in a completely different way now.

[@sparkl_motion]

@@jacobkohanowski2526 For sure. I like that the people who work for these companies are stoked on the projects they take part of as well. The car world has been in a weird place for quite a few years, and seeing the guys at Hoonigan not screw around with safety (cages, wiring, etc.) is important for up-and-coming car enthusiasts.

[@A_Bird]

"Sending Unit" is a good nickname for Zac

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Seconded. He should get a jacket with 'Sending Unit' across the shoulders.

[@sniperattack4425]

At 2:17 if you look to the left of the k5 you see a Ford cossie

[@Mgiles1001]

Ken blocks promo car

[@joealex65]

GAAAAAAAAAAWD DAAAAAAMN! I missed the Jimmy! I'm still sad that the Boomhauer is going away but the Jimmy will be a beast of it's own! 🤠

[@JaredR1996]

My next favorite build already. Zac has the best stuff 👍

[@ChairMan71196]

Should’ve put a cam while the front of the motor was mostly apart.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

I would typically agree wholeheartedly, but I'm almost sure he has a fairly wild engine build in the works.

[@theoriginaljoke3.148]

Oh don't worry about that, he's got 572 cubic inches of Dart big M going in the thing with a nasty cam and efi according to his post earlier.

[@MRTuning704]

I need a/c in my life Working with the “oh it just needs a charge” problem... so bad compressor lol

[@VersaceDad]

So neat seeing these dudes put so much passion into their work, you can tell when someone really is living their own dream👍🏼

[@406nova6]

nice going vintage air you took one of the world's easiest water pumps to change And made it a pain in the ass I'll just go to the junkyard get the brackets off of an old truck have em powder coated and up date the accessories that way 1/2 the price more convenient and if anything breaks or wears out any auto part store will have what I need.....

[@aidynwyatt5415]

I started Junior Year today in High school as an auto collision repair tech student and in the shop we have a 68 Corvette Stingray for our car show project this year

[@semmble2k7]

These videos always get me motivated to wrench on my K5

[@mikesmith199]

Feel like this one will be a competition build too..

[@supersevenn]

Vintage Air is awesome. i installed one of their units on a second gen camaro. instructions were clear and detailed, system worked great

[@patrick4120]

I’m still super hyped for this build

[@chrispartaka9164]

Big blocks and K5's. What's not to love? Front Runner...this just keeps getting better!

[@leandroonishi5600]

Zac's car taste is always on point!

[@mattwright6759]

Nice blazer! I’ve seen it out on the road in park city, look forward to more of your videos

[@bigghoss762]

One of the great things about squarebodies, even a big block looks small in that engine compartment. If it's raining you can just crawl inside and close the hood.

[@jdmlordsalamander6397]

Perfect timing with this video....keep up the great content Zac!!!!!!!!

[@paynefulmechanix9675]

You do need to run a power steering cooler when you go to bigger tires.

[@SirDavothe2]

As the guy said the pump shouldn't be the issue but you will need other supporting hardware whether that be a just a cooler or a whole new hydraulic steering system (ram/box/rack).

[@3.0colorado21]

Zac is one of my favorites to watch. Killin it

[@salsarriba5695]

1:25 white cossie. very efficient distraction

[@morsamorsa7843]

i'd love to see that 'foot tap' greet catch on

[@Danteferno286]

badass blazer keep it up Zach!

[@ahhh6201]

whats that little cosworth escort doing in the background at 1:14

[@Bigbadbenji2008]

@00.10 is that a Escort cosworth in the corner? 😬👍👍

[@TheCastorPlays]

Why a reverse rotation water pump? Easy. Reverse rotation water pumps work in Australia!

[@2cawks]

Damn it, that joke is terrible and amazing at the same time

[@2cawks]

@Dave Micolichek that's what made it amazing, it's so terrible it looped the spectrum

[@dielauwen]

Like yer toilets. You sit on it in the opposite direction.

[@lukesparkman8675]

The hit marker sound effects on the foot taps lmfao subtly hinting you’re a gamer I see you!

[@Ben-hf7fg]

Welcome to Hoonigan. Should go back and watch some of the older stuff. Daily transmission and shit are such good light-hearted thrashing days.

[@sixfootfourmike]

I don't know people can live without AC

[@MOTA_KRAMPUS]

Normally

[@Bingo1Dog]

windows down and do 70+

[@wimsurf]

Live in Northern Europe..

[@GraxCat]

pretty easily honestly. I've never owned a car with working AC and im still plenty alive

[@Bingo1Dog]

@Dave Micolichek moving air is better than stagnant air

[@Mattyhacks71]

Is the reverse water pump for the big block something you can get at a parts store? Would be a bummer to get stuck somewhere needed a water pump

[@tylermayfield1987]

If you are worried about turning 37's then look at getting a new PSC steering gear or some type of assist ram even though the ram would be a bit over kill for the street

[@bigbrotherfrank2960]

Are you going to keep this one or give it away like the c10?

[@superbarnie]

Anyone know why they are getting rid of the C10?

[@havoc4171]

[@worldwide_wes]

All hail the chop lord!

[@paynefulmechanix9675]

You spent a lot of money putting back in the 4x4 trans set up with transfer case, and just a rear drive shaft. Did you also get the front driveshaft set up?

[@desert07576]

Will that kit work with a psc hydraulic assistant power steering pump?

[@civicsr2cool]

Is there any advantage of these kits over a stock ac unit? I have scrapped three trucks now with factory ac and have saved all of them and planned on swapping one in my truck but these look a lot smaller.

[@ThePicko94]

Hahahaha so good. When the boss wants something but knows he won't get it done, get the boys on it for you.

[@mikesmain]

@mister_zachary you have to look into getting a hydro booster for those brakes... that vacuum booster isn't going to cut it for long :)

[@dopeynightlifetv6859]

Man I was hoping Zac was gonna give us some burnouts when he backed in 💪

[@nailedit1878]

So when the water pump goes bad, because GM, how hard is it to now replace?

[@randallmontejano7787]

Any complete A/C kit for a 1983 Chevrolet El Camino?

[@Leo-DaGreek]

I need A/C in my 74 C-20 454!!, Here in TX the heat is Brutal Heat waves!!& Front Runner Kit. , ,

[@shieldwolf8093]

I need this kit for my 1966 Chevy C-20 with the factory 327

[@domagojkosanovic7778]

Why you didnt do the big 3 uprgade and why the hell didnt you connected the alternator negativ to the battery. Thos thing woud to the difrence

[@NickDaBestNinja]

Zach I wanna see you offroading with Vin and Larry next time they make a trip, put that beast on some dirt!

[@mrnobody9153]

No offence vintage air but I have an ocd about big upgrades, I runn that on all my cars with factory alt works fine. Even when my audio is at peak amp consumption, around 300 amps

[@wesleybrowning504]

Dumb question why not install the pull when you send the kit?

[@RalphLans]

Seeing other hoonigan cars getting finished or something done to it. where is scotto's segment🙄😅😂😂✌️, love scotto's cars just wanna see it finished🤟

[@terrylbowen9028]

Reliable daily big block????? $miles per gallon

[@trashbandit2449]

Gallons per smile

[@ChairMan71196]

Mine gets 8, no matter what. If I’m pulling somethin,8. If I’m driving backroads, 8. If I’m on the interstate, 8. Lol

[@michaelsnyder5773]

I had a v8 I had to daliy, I put a butterfly valve in the air in take then ran a choke cable to the cab. So I could cut its air flow by like, well pretty much 100% if i closed it

[@michaelsnyder5773]

But when I needed it l could open it up

[@enigmaPL]

@@michaelsnyder5773 The funny thing is, by choking out your engine like that, but driving it normally, you were probably using significantly MORE fuel than you would've if you left it alone and were easy on the throttle.

[@ryleebristol]

How long did it take to put the ac kit on

[@timholubowitch9097]

Top of the line best on the market for every part. "Highperformance". Sounds like every boomer that comes into a part store.

[@ivangongora6344]

Do they have an AC kit for a 64 C10?

[@uber_stuber]

@Zac that guy installing the water pump in there like, "you got alotta gawl screwin in here" xD #punintended

New parts are so sexy :D Great work!

[@z33tanner]

I have a vortec 8100 in my Silverado 👍 long live the big block!

[@jdmlordsalamander6397]

Love Zacs videos. Keep em coming!!!!!!

[@TheRipster777]

People sleep on the 8100... Some pretty amazing performance parts available for them too. I'd love to see a drift car with an 8.1 that has good internals, aluminum heads, a lightweight flywheel and headers. So much torque

[@z33tanner]

@@TheRipster777 Right! Plus mine being paired to a Allison 5spd and 4x4 makes it pretty rare from what I'm told. I use it to tow my 350z drift car but I want an aluminum block ls3 when the time comes for it.

[@Nick-vt7yi]

Make a video about how much it cost to build the c10

[@3campbep]

Not going to lie man, I would have put that pulley on with a swing-press. Hahaha

[@michaelmarquez3130]

Yo Zac in a vehicle so old was there anything left to purge from the ac system?

[@barrysauce]

Why didn't we get to hear it fire up? :(

[@gaydes1012]

Zac once again showing that his K5 Jimmy is way nicer than mine (I still love my truck tho even though the AC doesn't work, theirs no tach despite having and hei distributor, and the rubber bushings are so dry rotted they make concrete look soft in comparison)

[@LoudGuitar14]

AC... AC! Zac have you gone soft on us? **I hate not having AC. Smart man Zac, smart man**

[@404_unavailable_69]

Yo when they gonna give this away ?

Cool ish, Zachary.

[@boringbob9357]

If you don't put Boomhauer's BoomTubes (with cutouts and a full cruising exhaust for when you want to be stealthier) on the Jimmy before he goes out the door, I'm gonna be a little upset.

[@Ezra0]

Looks like Zac got building tips from Hert ... get someone to do it.

[@GraxCat]

i really dont understand why anyone would go with these ridiculously expensive kits when most cars they end up going in had factory AC options that you could go pull from a junkyard for like a quarter the price

[@andrewbloniarz286]

So Zack Is pretty much the only staff member that completes each project in the order he got it??? Or am I missing something. And Dan...okay pretty much everyone but Scotto and Hert. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷‍♂️
