That undertray assembly montage was epic! Amazing craftmanship. Not sure how anyone could criticize this build - as big a Barra and 1UZ fan as I am, and not normally so excited by pushrod V8's - I think this is still my favorite build from you in the last couple of years.

Hey scotty those holden designers had great forethought nearly 30 years ago putting the body drain holes in the right places for you to run the parachute cable . Even the spare tyre winch hole was in the right spot
Hey Scotty, just wondering if you've entered the Hardass1000. I know its close to DC but would be a fitting tribute to Harry. This ones certainly going to be run with a lot of mixed feelings. Maybe take the Lexcen out for a run 😂😂
My second comment to help the algorithm...being a little longer episode i made myself a coffee to sit back relax and enjoy the show...then Scotty has to say something that made me spit all over myself in laughter....when he said pain in the balls my inner child come out and i lost it 😂
What a weapon, and some amazing craftsmanship there... Don't let the office staff forget to renew the rego on that one whatever you do tho haha By the way I'd do terrible things for that XB ute they had at MPW.
Chute is good for 200mph aye, time to crank the boost Scotty and order the next model up 😉. You've done a great job, it runs 8s did it so smooth and easy, I cant believe people complain about the brand of parts used, 8s people!, they obviously bloody work! Cheers.

It's a great build I love it because it looks stock I watched all episodes of this ute build sent you a comment about all that glue ya put in the engine I hope you flushed the water and oil a few times 🙃 I love my ute's and love seeing old sleeper ute's go hard
I do like this build even though I'll probably never get into drag racing as a owner driver I'm just a spectator if I can get to an event...my fav car currently out of the Carnage fleet is the Toyota wagon only because it does a bit of everything and does it well and to anyone that doesn't know no one will notice...until you squeeze the throttle 😂...
Scotty, those bolts in the bottom of the rear shocks need to be longer mate! The 'nylock' in the nylock nuts only works if the bolt is going through it. Go hard!
So you don't put in industrial transmission oil for this box? I've seen others recently talk about different grades of industrial oil including screw compressor oil affecting stall and handling the load.
Interested to know whether you need to have some type of training certificate to be "qualified" to pack a chute or just follow the instruction on the box. I mean it sounds simple enough but a snagged line or incorrect fold could mean good night Irene.
There's no course that I know, or a certificate. But there's plenty of people who will show you. I learned from a TH-cam video and I've done pretty well at it since then
1990 I converted my LJ Torana back to a auto due to a exploding flywheel that smashed my custom bellhousing with a celica 5 spd ,Dude i got the old bearing out of back of crank ,got a HZ trimatic that my mate had built at work with a converter with a bit of horse trading ,got home pushed the converter on the trans ,yip got the mushroom crank to converter conect flex plate on ,hate to hack saw the bolts shorter as they were longer for flywheels ,press trans in bolt it up bolt up flex plate bolts hook up oil cooler ,start up top up trans great smooth posi gear changes no leaks ,i was so lucky that the converter clicked in lol totally fluke and inches away from disaster dunno what ya dunno i had only manuals before that ,and it was a beautiful mongrel of a trimatic ,HQ bits HZ bits Commie bits
Hey Scotty generally question here, theres alot of debate on social media when it comes to prefilling an oil filter noticed you did. Some people say it's a good idea others not. Obviously since you've done it you agree with filling it what are your thoughts & why? Thanks & keep up the great content Dave 👍👍
HI SCOTTIE its called a dyper lol and a parachute a must cos that UTE is a weapon 7s for sure deep maybe a 6.90 ??? maybe BTW see ya been working on ya dad bod lol ME TOO lol
Oi Scotty Since you are one of Victoria’s most experienced installer and remover of LS’s I thought you’d be the man to ask….do I only have to remove my tranny to do the rear main seal on my LS2? Cheers love ya work 🤘
I would knock up a light alloy cover if you don't want the air tumbling in the tub, also, there's good info on the turbulence in the tub of a ute, and how a open or removed tail gate isn't optimal #fluid dynamics
Really would have loved to have seen a couple of inch lip on the top side rear of the belly pan. If it did the unthinkable and did spit it guts out the bottom, and your traveling in a forward direction at speed, it could very easily spill oil over the back edge of the tray. What they have done is fine while it is stationary but it is unlikely to be needed when the car is stationary (unless it happened on the dyno). Also not fussed on the position of the ride height sensor. Yes it might have been a convenient location for mounting and wiring, but it does give you a hole towards the rear of the collection area. From a reading perspective it would be far more efficient somewhere near the radiator. But as usual the MPW guys have done excellent work.
@@STREETMACHINETV I could see reasoning for that as well. Putting it in front of the front wheels would give you a more travel movement sooner, but it also requires a sensor that is capable of reading on a bigger scale. Putting it behind the front wheels would give you a less responsive reading (subject to movement) but would be less inclined to factor in the shock travel. Yes it would depend on which the sensor prefers more. You couldn't mount it on the K frame to avoid needing a second hole in the bottom?
Another great video Scotty!! Quick question, for the ride height sensor, there is a gap in the undertray to allow it to get a reading from the road below right? lol. I'm sure you guys accounted for that when making the undertray but I just wanted to double check. Love your work mate!! Keep up the good stuff!!
Hey Scotty, how does the new converter stop from hitting the limiter? Was the old converter still slipping as you run out the back? Awesome build, looking forward to its first drag and drive event 👍
Scotty, would you please explain how a torque converter works for us dummies? And also what makes one more suitable for a particular car than another? Cheers
"kind of blew through the converter a bit" - meanwhile the purple meanie was limiter-bashing from what? About 700 foot 'til you got out of it because you felt sorry for the engine? 🤣

scotty, seriously you have smashed it out of the park, but how much has it cost? got a ballpark figure in Australian dollars
Doubt you could do a car like this for under $100k unless you did it all yourself / have great sponsors.
Yes I’m guilty of crushing my clutch line in my HD when changing the clutch many years ago. Learnt my lesson then to always check. 😂
Scotty, those bolts in the bottom of the rear shocks need to be longer mate! The 'nylock' in the nylock nuts only works if the bolt is going through it. Go hard!
I got best results angling the chute up into the airstream. Tray looks good, can it hold the capacity of the sump?
And then some

You probably already know, undertrays tend to give the cooling system a hard time coz they trap a bit of heat. The CAD stuff is awesome
Preferable compared to oil under the rear tyres at 150mph

Are you going to remove the tailgate to see if that'll make a difference, scotty?
Doesn’t need tp remove it. Just leave it open at the dragstrip.
I would knock up a light alloy cover if you don't want the air tumbling in the tub, also, there's good info on the turbulence in the tub of a ute, and how a open or removed tail gate isn't optimal
#fluid dynamics
@flamintasty if it's open it'll interfere with shoot mount.
An open or removed tailgate gives worse airflow through the bin than a closed tail gate
A light cover would serve best, like Mullet
#fluid dynamics
I could be wrong but I think ANDRA have some regulations on tailgate removal.... well maybe not regulations but they frown upon it.

It has heim joints to allow for movement

RTS flex plate from VPW
Nothing like a video with the customary can of coke. I find myself searching for it 😂
I’m loving the Ute …but have you totalled the $$ yet?
Why is the handle for the shoot all the way up on the roof, seems a hard spot to fine when you’re doing top speed?
I thought about having it lower but it's good to have it away from the shifter so you don't accidentally hit the wrong lever
And bonus the undertray acts as a piston catcher lol
Nothing wrong with Proflow stuff,we've been using the fittings for years....
