Let's get Ty behind the wheel!!! James has Ruby, George has the Blazer..Ty deserves to pilot this beast after all the hard work he's put in on the fleet!
They need guys at the shop to get work done. Not everyone in the race program can be a racer.
Yes!
TY is one of the best fabricators I've ever seen in my life hands down. I totally agree he should drive the Mustang!
I think there was a video where he said he didn’t want to race.
I can't wait til they show ty's turbo coyote swapped ranger, it's a bad little unit
My grandfather was Bob Glidden. He helped develop this style of transmission way way back in the day. Used it about halfway through the season. Ran incredibly well, and other drivers petitioned. There was a rulebook change, it was outlawed. Then with the next seasons rulebook updates, almost every Pro Stock class driver had one in the car. Was just telling my wife and I's oldest about how his papaw is a part of racing history. Not gonna lie, seeing this brought back memories of him and made me tear up a bit today. Thank you for everything yall!
Your grandfather is a legend! 👌
Are you Billy's son, then?
@@davelowets yes he is :) and Rusty is my father. Don't really talk to that side of the family much since papaw passed away. But thankfully we have a lot of stuff online of him to show our kids when they get older. Our oldest lit up his world for about 6 months before he passed. Even though it was difficult times I don't know that I ever saw him smile that hard in my entire life before that little guy came along lol
@@bglidden88 That's awesome that Bob got to see his grandson, and that he was so thrilled about it! I've watched your grandfather, father, and uncle's racing careers for decades, and they were a big inspiration for me to get into the sport myself. I'm a big nobody, and have just been a local IHRA bracket racer forever, but I enjoy it immensely it and have had so many good memories over the years doing it. Are you involved with the sport much?
@@bglidden88 Condolences also, 😞
I know how hard it is..
Watching the interviews with Bob on youtube here in the "Legends" series of videos always puts a smile on my face. There sure is a bunch of stuff on the web so your kids can easily learn about your grandfather's accomplishments, and about who he was. I'm sure they'll be proud of him. 🍻
@@davelowets the fact that it makes you happy and the good memories are all that matter. I'm not involved in racing. I wish I was, but just missed the window by the time I was old enough and he was retired from racing. It'd be a dream come true to be like my grandfather. He is and always will be my hero. But I just don't know that it's in the cards for me unfortunately. And I really don't want to be a coattails kid and use the family name to get somewhere. So it is what it is for now. Keep racing if you have the funds and the ability to get in and out of the car 😆 I drift a little but that's about all i got anymore these days
It's amazing how a simple transmission placed on a floor can make grown men revert back to eight year old's!
I thought the same! Brought me back, for sure!
Better than not having a hobby and focusing too much on work.
If you haven't already, you may want to talk to others who run these on Drag and Drives (Neil Torbett runs one in Hot Rod Drag Week). They tend to want to evacuate the fluid out of the trans during the drive portion, think washing machine effect. It took him a while to get his venting/catch can situation correct to keep the trans happy when cruising.
Wait they drive them dry with no cooling or librication?
Or am I missing what fluid you mean?
Dry sump for the trans?
The shifter can be mounted on any section you want. Depending on your seating position.
This needs to get bumped up the list.
PEOPLE PLEASE LIKE OPs COMMENT!!!
.
its like 50/50 if these guys know that or not
🌮
It's fine, the Giraffe drives from the back seat anyway.
yessir glad somebody said it
'Fits like a glove'
'on a horse'
George always has me crying, best addition to the channel aside from ty!
And it’s a mustang 🤣
I was coming down here to make this exact comment haha George is a legend.
George and james are my favorite on camera
James is the o.g. original though.....
George is the greatest, he seems like he’d be cool to have a few cold snacks with while just shooting the $hit.
nothing makes me more productive during a 20 hr day than a solid nap, Ty. The fact that you're willing to nap to get the job done just goes to show how actually fired up you are brother. I love this race team! LET'S GO!
Idk why a Power Nap feels better than night sleep.
@@veejay12079315 minute naps got me feelin like I just snorted a line
I love how all of the guys were literally sitting in the floor playing with their toys😂 it’s true we stay the same but our toys just get bigger!
🤣🤣🤣🤣😎
Then "ego" goes smaller....toys get bigger and powerful....
that gearbox tickles the part of my brain that loves flipping levers and pressing buttons, love it!
here's a little personalisation idea (for some point where you're not rushing before an event): replace the ball ends with pool balls that have the numbers of the gears, I think that would look sick!
this is a fantastic idea
That would look so nice
That’s a great idea!
I will 5th this idea
Vote this up for sure!
When I first watched cleetus put turbo whistles in his C7, I would’ve never imagined life could’ve got this spectacular for him. Keep up the hard work and all the great content. You guys have really been killing it.
I love how out there this build has snowballed into compared to what you guys usually do. I remember seeing the facebook post about the Lenco, didn't think it was actually gonna happen.
8:34 I like how George is the only one concerned about breaking it b4 it even gets put in the car 😂
The Lenco brought me from moderately interested to mega-stoked on this build, can't wait to see it ripping down the track!
You can mount the shifter anywhere on the case and move the rods around appropriately, there should be two holes in each handle for push/pull
Lenco celebrates over forty-five years of the engineering and manufacturing of the most successful drag racing transmissions ever built. Lenco, the all time champion and undisputed leader in the drag racing transmissions.
Best crew on the Internet hands down, Hard work, Humour and Fast times.
“I brought a sleeping bag… for a nap.”
Ty is such a trooper, and with a smile! Much respect bro!
I absolutely love the dedication the whole team has. And, I’m sure you do too Cleetus. I can tell by the way you treat your guys. I sure wish I had someone to count on like that. Sooo jealous, but happy for your pack at the same time!👍🏻👍🏻
They need to get ty a camper to nap in.
@@getchasome6230 They have the toter just feet away....
@@cbradley4466 I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he said sleeping bag just to be sarcastic
Haha that is going to be absolutely nuts! Godzilla twin turbski powered foxbody through a Bruno Lenco with a TSR rear end. You guys are going above and beyond for this build! McFlurry is going to be so sick to watch running in drag and drives!
Bet it doesn't make it past sick week...hahahaha!
You sound miserable
If it survives day one. Lenco's are not street transmissions. They run super hot after a few minutes.
@@AB-80X we’ll see when they complete the build.
@@AB-80X don't think they know that considering how small the transcooler is...
Larry Larson had a 5 speed Lenco for 10 + years with thousands of street miles on it in his Nova.. Did normal sprag and clutch maintenance... "Thanks to the ability to control the shift by slowly engaging the levers, Larry’s Nova shifted smooth and easy...no harsh neck snapping shifts while cruising down the street, unless you want them." There is a video of him on the Vegas strip with it. He now runs the 400.
Get Ty to drive it man , he deserves it for he's hard work 💪
push this comment to the top. Make this Ty's car!
I think Zack and Tye should co-drive. I think Zack is at the point where he deserves to get to play too!
Ty isn't qualified to drive it. He needs his NHRA license.
Cleetus already said he’s not driving this car. Check the comments ya chumps.
read cleet's comment on on greg's comment. ty doesnt have his license atm
Ty better have about a 5k bonus coming his way if he can get this thing together in time for Sick Week! Looks awesome, keep up the good work!
I'm pretty sure what he's actually gonna need after this is a stiff drink and few weeks of counseling
Been following the channel since the 3000hp Camaro days. Don’t ever change, don’t go mild and keep it wild. McFlurry epitomizes everything this channel was created on.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!
McFlurry is quickly becoming my favorite of the new cars! A Bruno/Lenco with a Godzilla and twin choochoos!! So dang pumped to see it run!!
Its been so fun watching garrett grow over the years. He is still just and fun and genuine but hes really developed into a leader that you can tell folks trust and like.
I have had a Lenco 5 Speed for many years,since 1994. It both reliable and strong. It had been used for many years in Pro Stock. Originally had shifters like you have. Later the evolved a CO2 pressurized shifter act by a push button mounted on a tree like affaire. The were replaced by the current G-Force and Liberty style used today.
Five shift levers? True! I thought the thumbnail for this video was photo-shopped click-bait until he opened up the box. I should have never doubted Cleetus. He's not the type who would stoop to a such a gimmick to get views.
Can't wait to see this in action!
Love the fact that even your fox build will be unique. Soo freakin cool!
Unique is a major understatement at this point.
Ty deserves a gigantic bonus if he pulls this off for you.
it's called overtime .. he's gonna need a ton of coffee and blow to get this finished in time .. luckily in FL there is plenty of both
@@scottbroyles2114 nah get em a 24 pack and a box of 5 hour energy and shitll be done by sunrise how we do round it here 😂
Well I guess they have time to spare. They had time to test Mullet at Bradenton today.
I ain't never really paid attention to Lenko shift linkages, but looks to me like maybe the levers/bracket can go up front, with the rods flipped toward the back, putting the levers at the driver's knee. Yeah?
I am so excited to see that thing in action. This will be by far the best build imo.
“Fits like a glove”
George: on a horse 😭😭
And it’s a mustang 🤣
Mcflurry is going to the moon with that engine and transmission setup. I can't wait to see what Mcflurry is made of in the test runs. HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!!!!
Ran a Bruno in early 90’s, freaking loved it!
@Text-McFarland what up?
The Lenco has definitely made this exciting build even more exciting. I can't wait to see this car in action.
Put a "Cinco de Lenco" decal on the back glass lol love the passion you guys have for this channel and what you do!
And personalized plates that say “CINCO”
I love how you're all super happy with giant smiles like its CHRISMAS.
A bunch of guys just turned into some kids at the shop playing with the new toy lmao! LOVE IT 🤣🥰
Nothing like rowing a Lenco at WOT, planetary transmissions are incredibly stout. Had a 1200 series in my '57 210 back in the day and it put a grin on my face every time I got in the car.
Mcflurry just hit a whole new level of performance and especially excitement for you guys . Enjoy brotha's
I think I speak for everyone here when I say this.... we need longer videos!!!!
Big factz bcuz its like they be getn shorter n shorter by the day lol. N then he just leave us hanging witout even let us see y'all do anything to Mcflurry SMH. Shiiiii sucks as* when they leave us wondering like this
Not too long a wait 'til the Month of Freedom. We can make it.
Personally I prefer shorter videos more often but maybe that’s just me
@@Renee_R343 yeah I mean they give us the month of freedom and they are working super hard to get many cars prepped for the race. Maybe when the racing is started, there will be longer videos. I dont know about this, but having a dedicated editor and video man would definatly add to the length and frequency of the videos, but that would also put a good dent in the yearly spending budget and im not even sure enough happens day to day every day in the year to make a 20+ min video 5-6 times a week. Especially if they are waiting on parts or something. I think longer videos could put too much strain on the people to do it constantly and I dont think there is enough content to justify an extra person on the team to just do video.
Agreeeee
Tye and Zack deserve a race car but someone has to be the one to keep everything together. Zack and tye both do a great job.
Do yourselves a favor and cut the upper tie bar and make it bolt in. Make some brackets to where you can just unbolt the tie bar to pull the motor. Let's be honest, its gonna have to come in and out a couple times haha! Love the build!
👆👆👆👆
Hit us up now we got something awesome for you!!🎉🎉!
I’m excited to see this thing run! And I wanna see Rocky’s blower motor in Ruby too
I remember seeing cars at the track and on video with these style transmissions. It seems like a really elegant old school way to go about it. I can't wait to see how it all works out in the end.
I bought my first Lenco in 1981 back when my friend and I worked at Strange Engineering in Evanston to put in our 67 Chevelle Green & Greedy for bracket racing. The owner Bob Stange got us a deal on it at the time, I paid 3750.00 .
I've been gone for a while. To come back and see a Foxbody makes me over the moon excited!!!! Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
These guys sitting on the floor going through the gears cracks me up! 😂😂😂 remind me of when I was a kid sitting in a laundry basket with acting like a drag racer!
I remember seeing a Lenco in a Pro-Street car in Adelaide, Australia when i was young fella in the 90's. I remember seeing all the shifters and thinking its just like a commercial jet airliner with all the throttle sticks..... i remember the guy trying to explain it to me but it didnt take. A very cool addition to the fleet i think.
As a Polk county native, having lived in O-town most of my life. I appreciate being able to get a dose of my homeland while I reside further south. Thanks for the banter.
By far my favorite build. I am so excited to see this finished. Nice work. Give Ty a huge raise.
Hands down best build thus far. This car will be a monster.
I remember suggesting the Lenco a while back, when you guys were asking what should be done with the build in one of your vids. I am so stoked you guys went with it, can't wait to see it all finished..!!!
So you suggested a Lenco for a street car? Not much of a racer are you?
@@AB-80X you seem like a nice person
@@AB-80X down the strip itll be a monster tho
Cleetus, y'all need to get a hold of Lenco. I believe they make a shifter assembly that mounts halfway up the transmission.
thank you lord I have been after you to get a big boy transmission for 3 years and you finally got one . trust me once you get used to it you will love it you can just run 2 units and the reverser or 3 or all 5 it's the make your own ratio transmission . it does depend on what ratio the box's you got are but there easy to change and they will hold tons of power
Please make longer videos. I love this build
Bruh... with the time crunch they are under right now, we're lucky to get any videos
Ty is a true craftsmen. He definitely loves his work.
Imagine living a life with everyone so happy all the time watching this channel is like being in the afterlife .
I’m so glad there is a community of people who have a following that allows them to use the literally TOP of the line engines/transmissions and make the best drag cars with the best parts so we get to see what’s it’s like
Living my dream though these content creators
Thank godzilla this car needed a trans! Sick week let's go!
Underrated comment.
🤣
Bout dang time Lenco entered the chat. I'm loving this!!
Edit: Also people do make forward offset shifter mounts for these that can give you about 6 inches.
Have you ever driven a Lenco on a long drive? It'll be a challenge to put it mildly. I wonder if he even told them what he was doing with it. The guys at Lenco usually balk as soon as you say street, unless it's their little street specific trans which this is not. They are meant to run in setups where trans fluid temps never becomes a factor.
@@AB-80X all true. One of two outcomes - they will either show people it can be done, or why it shouldn't. I see nothing wrong with screwing around with the idea as long as it's all done safely.
@AB-80X they sell a street lenco, I'm guessing this is it.
@@KPSchleyer Their street Lenco is only rated for 1200 HP. I'm guessing McFlurry will make way more than that.
@@AB-80X They can just run a huge trans cooler, or two or three. Or an air to water one as well LOL
Dern Gang! That is intimidating! Looks exactly like "the Kids playing in the living room," Complete with sound affects! Time for Madhi to arrive and announce: "Alright Children... time to get washed up for supper!
I am always So Stoked up watching all of you! Do NOT forget to save Sam a space/spot, his turn! Great Video! J
"fits like a glove on a horse" Yes!
Yt hid reply from me.sry. talk to me in my community tab
That thing is WILD so stoked for this build
I bet Jackstand will destroy it in the first day :D
That transmission better be indestructible for all that down to the wire wait time!!! lol
Time to find the safest driver in the fleet to keep it nice for a few months before ol cleet blows it up XD.
I give it 4 passes. 💣💣
There a strong Trans, they were used in Pro Stock car's.
The motor will go before that transmission does. Fairly certain that stock plastic intake on the godzilla is going to be the first casualty.
The reverser units are fragile, and they don't like being driven on the street because they get too hot and there is no way to run a trans cooler on them.
Lenco trans were revolutionary back in the day. Its cool to still see them used.
*Just when we thought Cleeter wasn't totally nuts.... he gets a Lenco. WTF? LOL*
Mans off his rocker lmao
@@chemical_35 Nah. He's testing how hot trans fluid can run. He's in for a surprise.
This car is going to be an absolute trainwreck, trying to street drive a lenco is not gonna work how they think it will
Why not? Way nicer than a dog box or alike.
@@David-xl8zf because the trans is going to overheat every few miles, great for a trailered strip car but horrible for a drag and drive car, you can't run a trans cooler on one of these, their cooler is only going to work on the fluid for the converter in the bruno
Ok, just letting you know, if you guys get this done in time for sick week, it will be nothing short of miraculous....go Tye!
Old Cleeter said chances making it are 50/50 before the parts arrived. Totally agree that now they are more zero to none.
I've only ever seen one of these before when I was a wee little kid. I still remember being blown away by all the levers in the car and asking my dad what it was all about. So cool to see you guys get one.
This build just keeps getting better!
Seeing you boys all sitting on the floor making car noises takes me back! Lots of love
Automatic manual is very handy, my car has a 5 speed sequential manual that shifts on paddle shift with no clutch pedal. It does have a clutch but it's actuated by a solenoid when I shift gears. The great part is when I'm in traffic or in a lazy mood I can just hit a button and it will switch from manual to auto.
Some of the old pro stockers used air shifters to avoid problems with the shifters placement. The activation buttons were mounted on a fabricated panel placed for driver's convenience.
Can’t wait to see what Master Ty has up his sleeve. Super sick set up. McFlurry is gonna be a beast!
Love that your always doing it differently and pushing the limits. You can make it fit!!!
YES. I absolutely love Lenco transmissions. They sound so good going into each gear. Love this hahahah ❤
This thing is going to be badass once you get it dialed 💪😅
What they do is supercool.. but I just can't swallow the amount of freedom, liberty, justice for all in the videos... godspeed and farewell.
At the end of George's imaginary Lenco pass it sounded like he was rippin down the track in a 4 banger. Lmao you guys are a blast to watch!
I was just complaining about not having anything to watch and Cleetus coming in CLUTCH with the vid! 😂
More like clutch-less 😏 haha
@@Timman57 I see what you did there....
Saw one of these in a car at a car show once, only ever seen it again in a Nelson racing engines video. Always thought it was the coolest thing ever. Didn’t realize it was so much different than a conventional trans. So flipping cool y’all are doing this.
"Lift with your back with a twisting, jerking motion." Best Cletus comment lmao love that family guy reference.
I'm glad it came through in time. I'll be rooting for you all the way from Poland
Was not expecting such a transmission. A freaking lenco all the shifts with this damn that is cool
you got the wok
@@jacob1423 no just a normal frying pan. I used to have a wok but I never really used it so I gifted it to a friend
I was lost in Warsaw for about 3 hours, could not find the road I needed , pre-gps, and didn’t speak the language or find any English speaking folks who knew the route I needed. After 3 hours I finally found someone who could help me. He said turn right here, I had been one street away for most of those 3 hours. Also got two tickets while passing through, I never paid a ticket on the side of the road before directly to the cop. Is that normal or just for non residents?
@@somenygaard could be a couple of things. That is the way it is done in countries with corruption. The cop will just pocket the money. Also, maybe because you were a foreigner, they wanted it right away, because you could just leave and not pay.
I have experience with this in Thailand. The cops there are notoriously corrupt. If you get in trouble, you offer a bribe quickly to the first officer, to get out of whatever jam you are in. You do not want to be arrested and go to the jail, because then there are a lot more people involved, and a lot more in the way of bribe. Also, the officers there have to pay bribes to become a police officer. Because it is such a money making job, you have to pay big money to become an officer. But you get it back in your bribes that you collect. The lower officers are then expected to kick up a portion of the bribes they collect to their command staff. Kind of works its way all the way up the chain.
You will see cops driving new Mercedes when they have a job that is supposed to pay
No matter how big these guys get, they are still a blast to watch because of videos like this one! I couldn't help but laugh with the rest of the crew when George got behind the sticks for his turn!
I gotta say being a ford guy and a stick shift guy. This is gonna be a badass car I like it! thank you for getting away from the LS only stuff and doing some cool Ford and old school stuff. Very cool mixture of a engine and transmission combo I think its gonna haul ass!
Make Lencos Great Again, you boys are awesome, but watching Bob Glidden rowing gears back in the day are some of my most rad memories
Y'all sitting on the floor playing with the Lenco looking like you were kids again had me laughing so damn hard I was crying!! 🤣 Every time I watch your content I catch myself smiling from ear to ear!! I knew this Mustang build was gonna be AMAZEBALLS!!!
Cleet gunna build himself a funny car soon. A natural progression after getting a unit like this.
Well I don’t think they’ll be able to make it work in this rig with the current wheelbase so we’ll see
@@dylanzrim3635 @jimmi114;
Clearly, Obviously, Certainly, Absolutely -> this video proves none of the people involved in this CMRT have any idea how to build any proper racing vehicles !!
=>Thus, certainly nothing that can be even a pseudo-race vehicle and the level of a "Street Pro-Mod" and certainly not anything that can come close to a pseudo, or 'street' 'Funny Car' !!
Good Luck [in Your World of Nonsensical imagination], Sincerely
I think we all agree that Ty needs to drive McFlurry! He deserves his own car
8:48 good driving by George on the 3-4 shift! Car almost got loose on him!!
“Lift with your back in a twisting jerking motion” got me. I couldn’t stop it I laughed out loud so hard.
'Family Guy' quote, but still funny.
When Cleet asked “how’s it goin Tye??” Tye: “ it’s goin great I ju-“ Cleet: “let me stop ya there” 😂😂
Lets goooooo! Can’t wait to see this rip on Sick Week
Awsome!
I'm kinda old at 64 and I've seen these many times. It used to be the only way to go (in Super Stock, I think).
If I can recall correctly, Hurst or "Mr. Gasket" once made a multi-stick linkage for the Super T10 trying to copy the Lenco style back in the '70s. It was different than the typical "V-Gate" linkage and didn't last long.
Hell yeah brothers!
I am impatiently waiting for the follow up video. I’m so excited to see this thing run
The McFlurry vids have been the most exciting since Leroy, very entertaining, well-done guys 👍
After all these years I thought I was just happy. Now, I'm proud and jealous boys!!! Building my first pro-street Corvette model w/a lenco and watching pro-stock has made me want to put one behind a Sonny Leonard mountain motor w/ a Mike Moran Big Stuff 3 fuel management system lile forever!!!!
It's so cool that you use Browell Bellhousings. Brian Browell is my uncle. Really cool to see his bellhousings being used!
They gonna need a 6” driveshaft
All the better....
I don't know why but that was one of the funniest and most relaxed videos I think I've seen from you so far. Great job!
I can see how this unit could work with 1 or 2 stick and then just turn next. It would be bad in many use, but in some that could work better.. this is so nice and clean system. And repair cannot be that hard. Totally crashing whole thing should be more or less impossible, at least in driving use..
