  • In this video, we're chronicling the re-build of the 700hp Level 7 Motorsports Race Truck...and we're starting with the foundation: CHASSIS AND POWERPLANT. We go inside No Limit Engineering, show you what it takes to build a state of the art race truck, and give you an inside look at Panhandle Performance Engine where we dyno the Don Hardy Race Cars 446 cubic inch LS7.

      I gotta thank Jesse, Don, and Donald for being cool with documenting that process. It ain’t always easy and that’s oftentimes why these build can rack up the dollars. Way more goes on behind the scenes than most people realize.

    Outstanding! I have been waiting, and are as excited as a standby can be!
    I remember after high school in the late 70's... ( that's a miracle in itself, lol ) when the name " Don Hardy Race Cars " was all over Beaumont... the gent (Kent Chatagnier, the first 200 mph dragster run ever...) that I worked for who had several Motion cars, was talking to me over the phone about D.H.
    Would love to tell his son someday. Honestly, I had thought D.H.(R.I.P.) was no longer in business, glad to find out different! By the way, great to see the build turned out so excellent!!!
    Love this channel, look forward to more!!! KUDO'S for such great coverage, much appreciated, Seth

    • @level7motorsports

I’m feeling stressed I can only imagine how Jesse was feeling getting that motor to get to the right spot my adrenaline is peaked from this amazing footage!!!
