Hey there.. I offered in your previous video and will again here.. I live in Beaverton and would love to do a tear down and post-mortem of the SBC you have there. I can do it at your shop, or take it home and let you know what I find. I think it would be very interesting to find out what the REAL deal is with that engine. Good luck on your new plans too. Cant wait to see how it turns out!
Bulldoze the house, expand the shed and paint booth, put a little flat on the back with a bed, studio, kitchenette and bathroom. Make it more usable/livable
Just like some of my dads mates they decided to plaster a kitchen, couldn't be bothered to use renovating plaster first, so this bloke skimmed directly on painted brick, it looked a mess but they went down the pub when thy were poured back in to the kitchen they were positive it looked perfect.
He never does this! Tavarish always gives updates but never works on his cars. Chris works on/builds cars but never uses or shows them back such a shame. If you'd combine both channels characteristics that would be great :') @bisforbuild use/finish/update on your cars!!
we use plenty of the cars all the time but people just dont care to watch when we make episodes about it. Thats a problem with being a build channel. But if watched this episode without skipping you would have heard the plans for this lexus and the burntacan to be used.. we havent built many purpose built race cars but the ones we did build are going to be used for it
This video could be a couple of weeks old because Chris doesnt rly tease usually by telling his plans in advance. I think he has the new motor by now and all the parts.
@@glossyfpv1155 Ford is most likely not the culprit here. Denise Halicki (wife of the original Gone in 60 Seconds creator) has a licensing deal with an Oklahoma company to build replicas, and has been prone to sue the shit out of anyone who even uses the Eleanor name on anything, even a bus. Also, she had a lawsuit thrown out sometime ago where she sued Shelby for selling reproductions of their own car. A judge said she doesn't own the rights to the likeness of a 67 GT500, the original vehicle and the one from the remake were substantially different. So how can she legally license the likeness of the remake vehicle, if she only legally owns the rights to the Eleanor name? She sued Disney and settled to own rights to merchandise. Long story short, Chris building his own and publishing the video is money out of her pocket due to him not dishing out the money for her licensed vehicles and him making money from TH-cam. This is all about a woman who was married to a guy for three months when he died, using his work to make herself a ton of money. If you don't buy it from her, she'll sue you....plain and simple.
@@pandrit71 thanks for the response. After reading a few comments it seems she must be the issue here. So technically if he tweaked a few small things and renamed it elena he would be good to go right?
GlossyFPV I’m no lawyer, but I’m guessing just changing the front end and hood should be enough, as those are the only things that appear in the movie that distinctly make it Eleanor. The rest is all pretty much Ford. He would in essence build a GT500 on camera, and then could theoretically replace said parts off-camera after completion. I would voice-over edit every video to say “Car” and then blur or edit out the front end, and just make a GT500 on camera.
Denice Halicki (widow of the guy who made the original Gone in 60 seconds) owns the copyright for the Eleanor mustang name. She has been known to sue anybody who tries to use it (including Carol Shelby)... Food for thought
One of the things I liked about the Mustang build is that (for once) it didn't seem to be driven by an insane deadline, so you could take your time and do it right. I hope that continues. I do like that you're keeping the Lexus sleeper spec; and look forward to the build.
Man, hope that Chris and the gang watch the videos from LS West and all of the safety equipment hurdles Cleatus has had to jump through just to run his car. Look forward to seeing things done with these builds!! Just be sure to get the cage cert, and have your NHRA license too!
Mike Honcho Cleetus McFarland, great channel, lots of drag racing, drifting, and shenanigans! Also runs a great series of drag racing and burnout events in Houston and Florida...
its a bracket race for 8.50 and slower, so ruby will need to slow down anyway to over 8.499 seconds and that means that he only needs a 8.5 and hes good. even against leroy he could win just based off of being closer to 8.5....even if cleet ran leroy and turned him down too much and ran a 8.61 and chris ran a 8.55 then chris would be the winner
Everybody he got a Cease and Desist from the company that officially build Eleanor Mustangs, so he had to remove the videos, the next couple videos will be of the GTR snd some explanations.
Ameli 1 Chris was using the term “Eleanor” and because he was seen as profiting off of the brand, as well as “counterfeiting” a legitimate name car, that is actually produced, i’m sure various companies would not like that, so they shut him down, and made him remove all traces of the build on social media and youtube.
I’ve been running a RPM power glide for a year and a half now in my Trans Am, literally has not been out of the car in that year and a half. I’m pretty sure it’s the same company that Cleetus uses.
Didn't you read about the discovery of the "parallel universe" in Antarctica where everything runs backwards? Maybe a gateway opened in the garage and took the Mustang.
And for him to finish the 240z, the BRZ, the Burntacan..... pretty much any of his builds! I watch the whole builds through waiting to see the things actually drive and it never happens!!
Yo what's going on guys? Went to check and see if you all put anything new out and this is the newest video on the channel?? What happened to all the videos on the mustang??
If your planning on Rocky Mountain Race Week, you might want to look into T400, so you have that 3rd gear for regular driving. They also can be built just as strong as a Powerglide, but you'll have more gears for those mountains...
For the powerglide I would look at FTI, summit racing carries them. Make you you get one with a 300m input shaft. For the converter reach out to Dusty Bradford at Performance torque converter (PTC). Cant wait to see the end result bud.
Don't forget that you will need a torque converter. There are a few places that will build you one just for this car. They take all the information like motor size and hp, weight of the car, rear end gear and type of transmission. It's the best way to go. Can't wait for the build and stay healthy.
I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, but Godley transmission in Moultrie, GA builds a really good powerglide and were among the first if not the first to build high performance powerglides.
If you decide to go big block, the 496 8.1 comes in 2002+ Chevy 3500 that you can get pretty cheap and it can put down some good power 320hp 440 tq. Just a suggestion
Martin Smarda this will never be Cresta level. Sorry but Chris is no match to Mechanical Stig or Turbo Yoda! He’s more about fun. Stig and Yoda are business
@@TheMrtMts they do kill it but he could build it to run with them. I think it would be a better build comparison and a lot more attainable than catching Ruby, she's going 7's...
If you take this to Ls fest west make sure you get your racing license and a certification on your cage. If not you'll drive all the way out and not be able to race!
I know you already have your plans for it, but it will be awesome if you could do a 1UZ swap to it, those engines have potential, it will just be something different and original at the same time, just my 2 cents
Chris, I love your content and have been a follower for a long time but I wish so badly that you would finish a project!! I've been waiting so long to see things like the 240Z and BRZ finished and driving, like they deserve.
You need a big workshop to allow you to work on both cars together.. Also a few more Kyle's. (Space for a cnc laser cutter, and big cnc mill.) Cool project be good to see it done a budget.
That engine is perfectly fine it just needs to be tore down and reassembled without the beer.....takes alot to kill those old sbc's.. Probably just needs the valves adjusted......these guys don't know nothing about them old motors
2JZ would have been nice but since this already was made for the small block..it makes sense..but 2JZ could easily bring you to a mid 8 second 1/4 mile car.
Hey there.. I offered in your previous video and will again here.. I live in Beaverton and would love to do a tear down and post-mortem of the SBC you have there. I can do it at your shop, or take it home and let you know what I find. I think it would be very interesting to find out what the REAL deal is with that engine.
Good luck on your new plans too. Cant wait to see how it turns out!

You're doing it Chris... Multiple projects. Its time to find a bigger shop.
Yeah but this one is probably paid off. Nothing better than having no debt 😌
Should extend this one
Bulldoze the house, expand the shed and paint booth, put a little flat on the back with a bed, studio, kitchenette and bathroom. Make it more usable/livable
Travis Power Don’t forget a huge space for all his cars to store safely and properly!

"if we save money on this part, we can buy more beer!" 😂😂
That part got me lmao
That kind of logic is about as flawless as it gets! 🤣🤣🤣

@@BisforBuild what about a second channel of the cars being drove and whatever! For the ones that would watch?
When I saw “Faster than my Lamborghini Huracan”, I thought “which one?”
well one of them will actually finish a quarter mile flooring it. the other one unsure about it.
Jack Ellis same
Jack Ellis big flex
lol so true
Wow so funny
Ruby from from Cleetus?
Forget the 8.5s time xD
They installed new turbo on it and are trying to get it into the 7s.
This video could be a couple of weeks old because Chris doesnt rly tease usually by telling his plans in advance. I think he has the new motor by now and all the parts.
@Lassi Kinnunen Because he's not asking what to install, he's asking which sponsor wants to donate...
Cleetus will put the 427 in and it will go 7s easily
Chris said on IG about everything of the Mustang being remove "legal issues, ill make a statement on it when i can".
Damn that suck!Bring back the Mustang!!!
Wow everything's a legal issue nowadays. He bought the car. It's his. Ford cant do shit.

We need an update on the Italian Yacht
Its probably in isolation due to the virus.
Yea would love to hear what hapend to Z4 too lol

You make me want to build a project car so bad! youre such a big inspiration to me. thank you chris!!
Hey Chris what ever happened to the BMW Z4 you did in Florida. I haven’t seen it anymore on the channel

Just be sure to get the cage cert, and have your NHRA license too!
cleetus had trouble because Bradenton was letting him skirt by a lot of stuff by over 1.5 seconds
Whos Cleatus?
Mike Honcho Cleetus McFarland, great channel, lots of drag racing, drifting, and shenanigans! Also runs a great series of drag racing and burnout events in Houston and Florida...
@@jonkeau5155 AKA Cleetus and cars :D
He better not be swapping that small block into his 2jz Supra that’s currently in the works to be shipped to the states. @7:10
Omg I swear... I’ll still watch the entire series Lmaooo
I hope he does just to piss everyone off!
If he does its a sin
My money is on a small block FD RX7. He said he wanted another FD, and what triggers people more than an LS swapped RX7? lol
What if he dies in his car he can do whatever he wants with it you don't have to drive it so why does it matter it doesn't
Also, ruby isnt running 8.50s anymore either. So youre gonna need that nitrous with that turbo if you wanna beat that car now! 🤣

I’m confused where everything of the channel has gone from the mustang? I was loving that content
I cant wait you sound really excited!! Glad you're feeling better too.
I am glad to see the Lexus back in your possession and back on your channel. I know you are going to make the car fast.
Honestly, I’ll be impressed (surprised) if this sees 10’s...
me too
Glad to see you got this back home and your plans for it, 1000HP LS sounds so good.

Hope everyone staying safe Chris thanks for keeping us going
Was enjoying the Mustang build. What happened?
Hmmm... That "one massive turbo" that BoostedBoiz recently got for the Minivan?
Kundenbetreuung yep!
Kundenbetreuung what're you referring to?
Garrett is a sponsor so my guess is the car is deff getting turbos😁 💯🚗💨
What ever happened to the GT-R
same as all his other cars?
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei He probably means the the title issues on it. Im curious to see if he got the title too.
I think he got the title already, he still drives it around
argonian bilbo he got the title situation resolved
I’d watch you drive the cars you build, and not like going to get food but actual track use, would be sick
I’ve been running a RPM power glide for a year and a half now in my Trans Am, literally has not been out of the car in that year and a half. I’m pretty sure it’s the same company that Cleetus uses.
David Baronian yeah he using all rpm trans
Bro what the hell happened with all the new mustang vids
Im looking for those aswell. Where they go??
Didn't you read about the discovery of the "parallel universe" in Antarctica where everything runs backwards? Maybe a gateway opened in the garage and took the Mustang.
When you going to finish the boat build? Been waiting forever for that!!
Same
Sunedosa chris has an insane track record finishing project. What do you mean?
@@nestam6844 good one lol
Finish a boat project, when the general advice is to stay away from crowds, In the middle of March. Its too early for boats.
And for him to finish the 240z, the BRZ, the Burntacan..... pretty much any of his builds! I watch the whole builds through waiting to see the things actually drive and it never happens!!
When will we see a B is for Boat?
Dezzz Mania this. I want this.
Nothing since the Lamborghini table
Another one?
I'd love to see one too, but I have to imagine it will be once the warm weather of spring/summer hits, and there isn't a quarantine... Just a guess.
did the mustang build just dissapear?
According to the website LS Fest West is still on. My son and I are planning to road trip from East Texas.So I am keeping my finger crossed.
I love how Chris thinks that everyone who watches him watches cleet, he is always referencing cleet’s cars
Alot of us do...HELL YEAH BROTHER!!
Everyone wants to be like Cleese’s. He is the man.... hell yeah brother.

Hey! Andrew from Florida!.. quick question.. what happened to all of your Mustang videos?.. they all say that they were removed by the uploader???
Thx for the upload. Glad to see ur feeling better
LS Fest West, coming to a coronavirus drive-thru testing facility parking lot near you.
For the powerglide I would look at FTI, summit racing carries them. Make you you get one with a 300m input shaft. For the converter reach out to Dusty Bradford at Performance torque converter (PTC). Cant wait to see the end result bud.

This sounds like a fun project. Good luck to all.
Chris where are the videos from Eleanor Mustang build? Why are they deleted?
I wonna know same

Anyone else not see the Eleanor build videos anymore? Am i crazy? Were they ever real? What has my life come to?

I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, but Godley transmission in Moultrie, GA builds a really good powerglide and were among the first if not the first to build high performance powerglides.
What happened to mustang build?
If you want the "sleeper" style, you should tint the windows so it's harder to see the cage and race seat.
Rebuild that ls and put it in your 370z and you'll have the perfect drift car
Which LS?
This makes me miss my 1JZ swapped SC300. Awesome build!
Sorry bud but what happened to the mustang body swop?
When you describe how the SC drives with the engine mount it sounds like you're describing a Chevelle with a big block. Very visceral.
Chris can you make a garage update?
If you decide to go big block, the 496 8.1 comes in 2002+ Chevy 3500 that you can get pretty cheap and it can put down some good power 320hp 440 tq. Just a suggestion
The tubing the cage is made of is totally wrong.. Cant use ERW tubing, especially if going faster than 10.0... must be DOM or chromoly

DatBoiOrly a LS motor is a Chevy motor.
Yeah this is just a small block Chevy. An LS is a better engine than this and it’s still Chevy
Matter of circumstance my man.

I can sense a rematch in the making later in the year!
Chris, check Huges for transmission and torque converter info. They make their own stuff and fit for any power plant. Like it so far.
What happened to the mustang videos?
I have a suggestion for a potential build I would die to see in my lifetime. A Datsun 510 with a VR38DETT.
6:53 When i saw "or a big block?" in the right corner i thought "no replacement for displacement" ?
Turbos are exactly that
But (as someone who knows nothing) I thought LS can go as big as big blocks. Like 680ci
@@realMaverickBuckley nooooo
I hope you do a big block for the future build. A Gen 6 big block is a good cheap option that can make big power pretty easy
RPM transmissions hands down
I love that you’re getting into the Drag racing scene man!
I don't think you fully know what it takes to run mid 8s. I'll be shocked if the car breaks into the 9s. Good luck though.
You need a big workshop to allow you to work on both cars together.. Also a few more Kyle's. (Space for a cnc laser cutter, and big cnc mill.) Cool project be good to see it done a budget.
you haven't run a 14s on the 1/4 and now you want to run 8s lol
Forreal though. And in a MONTH too. This dude over shoots too much
Next he'll be challenging Finnigan to a race
Nothing wrong with wanting to do better if he had attitude like yours his channel would be going no where
Can't wait for the build and the race week footage
Lol something that will piss people... LS Supra? LS RX7? LS Mustang? 🤣🤣🤣
Bobbycat GT LS mustang is already pretty common so I’m thinking some kind of Japanese car
Tesla Supra
That’s a cool build, you go with Sequential manual transmission @B is for build
Well the engine is pretty turn it into a coffee table lol
That engine is perfectly fine it just needs to be tore down and reassembled without the beer.....takes alot to kill those old sbc's..
Probably just needs the valves adjusted......these guys don't know nothing about them old motors
@@trentdawg2832 Safe to say I'm not sure they know much about any motor.
Chris, we have seen you drag race. You aren't going to have to worry about running that car sub 9s. Oscar maybe?
2JZ would have been nice but since this already was made for the small block..it makes sense..but 2JZ could easily bring you to a mid 8 second 1/4 mile car.
an ls will always go faster for cheaper more reliably, and all the while not sounding like the ear cancer that the 2j is
Excited for the build!
Should put a Lamborghini engine in the lexus.
Lambo swap a Camaro, I mean he's already got an LS swapped lambo
Sweet the Lexus Sc300 this will be neat
I’m still waiting for you guys to get into an electrical car.
I bet it’s going to be a 10 second mini van. That would totally piss of a lot of people! But also awesome!
