The funny part is all of the “McFarland blank” started as a joke and are now getting serious AF. McFarland fab for instance. Started as jank Cleeter welds on rubys original single turbo and now it is Tye doing top of the line race car work
A very strong team and a fleet of cars that are awesome! He built this channel perfectly. Adding Tye, Zach, George and Sam made it even better. I remember when Tye was afraid of being on camera and now he has his own cars. They need to stay together bc we’ve seen it doesn’t pay off to go in your own…poor Cooper. Plus they all seem to be genuinely good friends. I still love the original group but this group is dialed in, a machinery/welder (Tye), a engine builder/wiring specialist (Zach), a comedian who brings the fun and can drive (George), and a great racer and diagnoser (Jackstand)…. Oh and the dad of them so (Sam). Jeremy from faster proms turned into a jerk and Cleetus was a genius for picking up George.
It was nice to see that Cleetus lowered his face shield for all three runs. I hope this is the new normal. I know that in a very large percentage of the runs it doesn't matter if it's up or down. Of course, there is that small percentage when it could make a big difference. I would think Maddie and the Little Ripper would prefer this to be part of the starting line procedure for every race in every car.( I know the driver is busy with the burnout, backing up, staging, etc. The crew member staging the car could have it as part of his/her assignment to check for the face shield.)
100% for safely first, ive been commenting for months saying the same thing. Especially with methanol cars. Do not want to go though the same thing as Lyle Barnett did........

Not really. Lencos don’t work like regular transmissions. They are more like shifting a series of overdrives. Look at the sheet of paper he wrote out. That says it all. 11:59

So the taller gears must be close if its hard to tell the difference between second and 5th right? The only way youre really grenading it is if you slam all the levers forward and send it into first because second is so close to 5th that you can shift between them and the only way you can really tell which is faster is when youre counting the tenths and hundreths of the second. First gear all levers forward. Man i bet the inside of that trans is confusing as hell but i hope im wrong. They were starting in 1st and shifting into fith and ending in 2nd. Is that what im understanding? 5th and second are higher gear ratios or something so jts hard to tell the difference is what i think is happening. First gear probably sends the vehicle speed way up to the point 2nd is lime 6th in a normal car. Or like sportbike motorcycles where 1st gear goes to like 75mph or something crazy. At first i was skeched out because its weird to see a transmission that once out of first gear you can hardly tell the difference between 2nd and 5th. Motorcycles you dont get to choose you csmt just go from first to 5th you have to manually roll through every gear from 1st to 5th so its impossible to accidentally put it in the wrong gear without shifting down 4 seperate times and dumping the clutch if you were literally suicidal 😂
@@TheAnnoyingBoss "They were starting in 1st and shifting into fith and ending in 2nd" Your confusion is understandable, as you're thinking about how "normal" transmissions work. But the Lenco isn't a "normal" transmission. Throw everything you know about transmissions out the window, and follow along.... Each lever adds another ratio on top of the previous ratio. By shifting it backwards, all you're doing is throwing in slightly taller ratios earlier than what you want, but the end result (all levers back) *always* results in all the ratios added in, giving you fifth gear. Once you grock that, think about it this way: the only real "gears" you have in a traditional sense are first and fifth. Everything else is just first gear plus a ratio after the first throw, then first gear plus two ratios after throwing two levers, then first gear plus three ratios after pulling the third, etc. So the difference is how much each lever adds to the current ratio. You could even start by all levers forward, then throw the far left one, then throw the far right one, the the second from the left, then the second from the right and finally the last lever and still end up in fifth. Now here's the thing.... you want to shift it in the correct order, because each lever adds a slightly different ratio to the current selection.
11:12 God bless Florida 🇺🇸 That background is super picturesque 😍It’s like the definition of Florida, can’t beat their sunrises and sunsets! Awesome content too, Cleet!!
Now that u are shifting the right way u can now start adjusting the Bruno drive by adding a bump in control and u can adjust your converter pressures up or down to suit the launch and track conditions cheers guys I have been doing this for years in a top dragster
Just wanted to say Cleeter, you are genuine and appreciative of your friends, fans, and everything in between. You give ol' boy Sam the best treatment he could get at this point in his life. I think he deserves his OWN dream car! Id be willing to donate to that cause!! I think yall should surprise him with the car he always wanted but could never afford. I think I speak for alot of us when I say Well donate to the cause!! Love ya Brother! RUBBER SIDE DOWN! 😎
Sam has been a *_huge_* upgrade. Cleetus used to struggle getting his cars into the 9s until Jackstand came around. Adding George, The and Zach have built the team into a full blown racing team. Adding Sam was like adding a Crew Chief/Coach and sent the team to yet another level. Sam is a Legend and the team's best Bikini Contest Judge. 😂
@@floorpizza8074 I really hope they make Sam judging bikini contests into a thing. Usually Cleetus doesn't cover it, but there are contests like that at quite a few large races. It would be great to just toss in "This weekend Sam is taking a break from his racing responsiblies and he's doing the important work of Judging the Bikini Contest!"
I love the honesty lmao totally could have edited it out to make it seem like he knew how to shift that trans that seems to run on magic, but instead, ever a man of the people, shoots straight with us. Good man.
Also from lencos website Checking Shift Pressure (only on CS-1 style or center shift transmissions): To measure the shift pressure install checking lever into tower screw jam nut all the way up the tower so it's out of the way. Now rotate tower clockwise until it lightly touches pin on shift fork then rotate tower counter clockwise 2 turns and place hook of scale in top hole of checking lever supplied with transmission (this lever should be about 5 1/2" over all length) and pull scale slowly to shift section, taking note of highest reading this is your shift pressure. If the shift pressure is set to your application lock the jam nut your finished, if not you then need to add shim to raise pressure or subtract shim to reduce pressure. If needed you may vary 1 full turn up or down from your 2 turns out in order to achieve the shift pressure desired. Servo CS-1 style or center shift transmissions: Air shifted LENCOS come pre adjusted from the factory. If it is necessary to remove the servos you should reinstall with the lock nut spun completely to the top of its travel. Screw the servo into the transmission case until contact is made with the shift fork pin. Now rotate counter clockwise 1/2 to 1 turn and tighten lock nut. No further adjustments are necessary as there is ample reserve travel in the servo. CS2, CS3, CS4 & Lencodrive or offset shift transmissions: There are two different size air servos for the New Generation transmissions.The small air servo (2.5"piston diameter) and the large air servo(3"piston diameter) for the CS-2 large case transmission and Lencodrives. The air servo is attached to a rotary shift plate by an adjustable arm which is pre-set by the factory and should NOT be changed. The arm is held into the servo piston by a set screw. Run the air servo jam nut and o-ring up the threads on the servo. Screw air servo into case until it bottoms out against the jam nut. Rotate air servo into case until you see the set screw in the air servo piston boss inside the case. Apply a small amount of Red (271) Locktite on the set screw. After inserting arm into the air servo piston boss, run set screw in until you can no longer remove the arm from the piston boss. Warning: Do Not over tighten set screw. The arm must be free to move in all directions. Screw air servo counter-clockwise about five or six turns before you reassemble the transmission. Assemble next section on to case and bolt tight. Adjustment: Once installed, make sure the air servo is loose and can turn freely. Remove fill plug on top the transmission case you are going to adjust. Sight through plug hole, where you will see the outer edge of the rotary shift plate. Screw air servo in (clockwise) until you see the rotary plate start to shift, now screw air servo Out (counter-clockwise) until the rotary shift plate stops moving. Then, continue to screw air servo Out (counter-clockwise) one half turn. This will allow for free play in the shift system. Run air servo jam nut and o-ring down against the case and tighten with a 1 1/2" wrench. Do Not Over Tighten. Add fluids as necessary and install fill plug. Attach air lines and your race ready.
I think the FOX body is my fav out of all your groups race machines ..... The way you guys have the suspension set up on McFlurry is unbelievable the front tires don't even lift it just goes straight down the track.
@@barrelsurfergirl4614 looks like there is potential in doing it outside of its traditional platform. Turbos n lenkos look to perform well in the footage
@@barrelsurfergirl4614 why though? I understand boost lag but seems to be in high rpm's each shift. I feel like it's more of new guys not touching that trans and old guys not wanting to play with turbos and tunes
@@kksquad69 its a solid case of: unexplored by new guys, while the old guys are not innovating upon their use-case's for it. I literally have never seen someone under 50 ever use a Lenko setup.
I find it hilarious to see chevy guys so impressed with a Ford build car.. little do you know that this might end up being the fastest and cheapest build in the channel.. cleet love the channel keep up the amazing content and it makes me happy seeing a ford racing on your channel 👍✊️
I mean the fact the there are more fast fox body's without a ford motor then with one i'm pretty sure its more so the fox body itself that is known to be fast as its a very lite car without a frame old news for anyone that has been into drag racing it takes a lot of power and money to get a car the size of mullet down the track at the speeds he does and that is what you call impressive!
"McFlurry, how do you do it" It's a Ford powered Ford. That's how.😉 Watching her run mid 7s is almost anticlimactic. There is no big anything. She just goes A to B REALLY quickly, with no drama. Pretty sweet ride and nice driving. Well done by the whole team. Thanks for the great content.
I'm going to agree with right to left based solely on the ergonomics of the shift levers. When you pull the levers back the next gear you grab is the tallest and proudest handle of what gears are left in the run. I think it's designed for you to easily find the next gear. At least that's how I'd design it. With left to right you have to get your hand inbetwixt the levers and is not as intuitive.
I agree, ergonomics should have been taken into consideration during the design. That reverse instinct approach always leads to errors. Further, when things are counterintuitive, they should be labeled (numbers on the knobs).
Not really... By going from Left to Right you are literally moving the shifter out of the way so you don't even have to think about which one is taller.
"How do you do it McFlrry" Idk...... its almost as if your team has gotten 10x better, you have more budgets, more knowledge, more experience, you guys are FKing killing it man!!! You did in like a few months what took you years, expererience is everything, you and the crew on on point this year so far!
The knowledge and experience is the biggest thing. I remember when Jackstand came on board. In those days Cleetus was lucky to run 9s. Adding George, Zack and Ty have made things run smoother and better. Adding Sam was like adding a Crew Chief/Coach to an already good team. Then add on top of that help from guys like Steve Morris, Pete, Kevin and in this video Stevie Fast helping cut almost 4 tenths with just a phone call! With that kind of knowledge and experience, I'll bet McFlurry runs 6s before the end of the year.
Dude I just went back and found on the first video when they got it delivered, I said "Yall have it backwards trust us, it'll work just not nearly as good as it should" 😂😂
The best part of this channel over the years is how Cleetus *_never_* hides his mistakes. He owns his mistakes and finds a way to laugh them off. I hate channels/people who act perfect and blame everyone but themselves. Cleetus is good people and it shows.
I always thought was confusing shifting the knobs shortest to tallest but now your doing it right as you grab each gear its the tallest in line I didn't know you was going on no instructions but damn 7.79 to 7.54 Good Work !
The way this car is progressing, it'll be running 6s soon. Ol Ruby outweighs McFlurry by at least a few hundred pounds. Power to Weight ratio is, was and always will be king.
Did not expect those times so soon ! You and your crew did an amazing job building that car from the ground up. What a great addition to a already potent racing team.
Kyle would miss 3rd gear using a Lenco shifting from Left to Right...Then miss 3rd shifting from Right to Left! 😂😂 Our boy Cleet can break an anvil using nothing but cotton balls, and Kyle could miss 3rd using a PowerGlide! 😂😂
I kinda thought so, but it was freakin fast the wrong way too 😆 hell yeah brother! At least now when your "bracket" racing, you know sure as hell know how to slow it down almost a full second. Problem solved
Just a few seconds going through the shift motions will tell u that anatomically its better to shift right to left to avoid interference, unless youre in the UK or something and sitting on the right
isnt this the car that Ty built from scratch!? If so, Ty deserves a BIG pat on the back! Car just works! Would love to see them do some street testing!!!
The blocks stock, crank is stock, the head is just a ported factory casting so not like it’s a stronger head for clamping pressure. So yes it has some updated parts like billet rods, aftermarket head studs vs stock tty head bolts “which were used 3 times not only once like intended,”. The stock rods held up where they were and they never broke one just put the better ones in because they were at the max for stock they were thinking. The stock pistons were handing it too at the time they lost the head gaskets
I think its because like mullet its a massive motor. But they arent trying to push it to it limits on a suspension that needs a perfect setup. Motor makes the power easy they arent pushing the suspension. Leroy and ruby both being baaically small blocks is an endless fight
Really happy you guys are actually assembling engines in house, hope Zack gets good at building a reliable engine and you guys do some r & d like a real race team and experiment with different setups 🤙
That would definitely be fun to watch, but when you can get turnkey engines from someone like Steve Morris who has literally been doing it his entire life, you have a *whole lot* of experience to try and catch up with.
Did anybody notice the pictureperfect moment when Cleetus went into the staginglanes with the beautifull Orange sunset in the background? That was a real nice postermoment. ❤
McFlurry is the new “Old Ruby” where she’d click off 8.43’s all day long and other buddies just got to go fast by letting go of a button. But this is the same consistency! Looks rad!
I'd be interested to see the boost log for the second pass. Having wider gears at start then narrower gears at the end is similar to motorcycles that 1st gear needs to be super tall or you just wheelie. It should help load the turbo sooner
I totally agree. They still haven't even started to tweak the suspension, which should be able to get them into the 7.1s-7.2s with just suspension changes. Also they haven't made tuning changes to maximize ET. Just playing with launch RPM, timing changes in 1st and 2nd gear could bring them to the 6.9s-7.0s... and that's *_before_* adding some extra spicy boost. They will have that car running 6.8s-6.9s before the end of this year.
@@RonniePTexan I think after they make that plastic intake go boom boom, they will toss on a few more upgraded go fast parts that will get them into or right at a 6 second run!! They will need more than 20 PSI of boost to get there and that plastic intake will not like it...haha
The whole reason why I love this channel is that you guys just go for it and figure it out as you go. Leroy was the poster boy for that. It's exciting to see yall climb that ladder to where you are now. If yall knew it all it would have been boring. Your fans can relate to the Freedom Crew. Stay awesome Cleetus!
The good thing is now you know this it's going to be faster but also if you're having issues with a track holding the 1-2 shift you could run it backwards to correct for that maybe 🤔
Because all the gears are almost the same except 1st. You’re just stacking them the opposite way. A Lenko is probably the most versatile, most simple, and toughest standard transmissions invented.
Impressive regardless but when you put all the right parts from the start into a foxbody, it doesn’t matter so much of what brand of engine your using, as long as it makes good power your going to have good results along with one of the key factors that really helped, like having the Haltech guys come set up the car and get it dialed in. All the other cars have been unconventional set ups that got upgraded as they evolved. Except for Mullet, but it also did pretty good from the start as well especially for how heavy that car is and with the pretty much off the shelf TSP LS engine it had in it before the big block when in.
No lie I would laugh my freaking butt off if McFlurry runs 6s before Leroy does. I laughed when cleetus said that it took 3 years to get that kind of 60 foot with his other cars.
Not a good timeline comparison really. Cleetus has top of the line suspension and all the big boy go fast parts from the start with McFlurry but he was using junkyard engines and stock suspension on Ruby , not to mention he was still learning how this racing thing works without the team of guys he has now.
@@tr4u5mp90 yes and no , the fox in its stock suspension form wouldnt even come close to running like it does now, its all that suspension and rear end work that makes it possible to put down all the power from the Zilla through the Lenco. It took a long time for Leroy to get fast because they didnt start off with as many top notch parts like they did here. I will agree that these fox tangs are a GREAT platform and thats why we see so many awesome fast ones out there. I cant wait to see them upgrade the intake and other remaining stock Zilla parts to see what it can do. I just hope it doesnt go bang before they get it really going fast!!
How long until you guys get McFlurry into the sixes? And another thing, two things look better under the lights, baseball and drag racing, the light on that third run was really beautiful, and that sunset in the distance just added to the majesty.
Before you showed the 2nd pass, it was definitely the way to go. It looks like a walk in the park, unlike Mullet with a smaller engine. Mullet gave you guys a rough moment. Be safe, team
Can’t believe you guys didn’t tell me
We did
Remember Righty tighty, lefty loosey
how could we? ajaja
I definitely seen some early on comments mentioning this.
There were comments on the very first video of the Lenka that you had it backwards
From the LencoRacing Website:Shift Patterns:
All levers in forward position result in the transmission being in first gear. The tallest to the right is used to shift the transmission from first to second gear. The second lever, and second tallest, is used for third gear. The next lever is used for fourth gear and final lever for fifth.
Burnout's (on all LENCOS):
When doing burnout's you need to roll up to the water box then shift all sections accept the front section. Then start the tires spinning, now shift the front section so that you are now in high gear. You always need to come out of the water box in high gear to prolong the life of the transmission.

100% agree, I feel like it's easier to forget because he would notice more in Leroy compared to other cars due to the lack of a body
100% for safely first, ive been commenting for months saying the same thing. Especially with methanol cars. Do not want to go though the same thing as Lyle Barnett did........
*no*
Today, Cleeter tells us he’s been running 7’s going from 5th to 1st because freedom.
Facts ☝️
Shift Patterns:
All levers in forward position result in the transmission being in first gear. The tallest to the right is used to shift the transmission from first to second gear. The second lever, and second tallest, is used for third gear. The next lever is used for fourth gear and final lever for fifth.
Burnout's (on all LENCOS):
When doing burnout's you need to roll up to the water box then shift all sections accept the front section. Then start the tires spinning, now shift the front section so that you are now in high gear. You always need to come out of the water box in high gear to prolong the life of the transmission.

Best comment; deserves a free hat 😄
@@xippzap If you want this read so bad dont comment on another comment, post it solo.
Not really. Lencos don’t work like regular transmissions. They are more like shifting a series of overdrives. Look at the sheet of paper he wrote out. That says it all. 11:59

@@melindagreen3023 what's a "manual" does it get me clout?
So the taller gears must be close if its hard to tell the difference between second and 5th right? The only way youre really grenading it is if you slam all the levers forward and send it into first because second is so close to 5th that you can shift between them and the only way you can really tell which is faster is when youre counting the tenths and hundreths of the second. First gear all levers forward. Man i bet the inside of that trans is confusing as hell but i hope im wrong. They were starting in 1st and shifting into fith and ending in 2nd. Is that what im understanding? 5th and second are higher gear ratios or something so jts hard to tell the difference is what i think is happening. First gear probably sends the vehicle speed way up to the point 2nd is lime 6th in a normal car. Or like sportbike motorcycles where 1st gear goes to like 75mph or something crazy.
At first i was skeched out because its weird to see a transmission that once out of first gear you can hardly tell the difference between 2nd and 5th. Motorcycles you dont get to choose you csmt just go from first to 5th you have to manually roll through every gear from 1st to 5th so its impossible to accidentally put it in the wrong gear without shifting down 4 seperate times and dumping the clutch if you were literally suicidal 😂
@@TheAnnoyingBoss "They were starting in 1st and shifting into fith and ending in 2nd" Your confusion is understandable, as you're thinking about how "normal" transmissions work. But the Lenco isn't a "normal" transmission. Throw everything you know about transmissions out the window, and follow along.... Each lever adds another ratio on top of the previous ratio. By shifting it backwards, all you're doing is throwing in slightly taller ratios earlier than what you want, but the end result (all levers back) *always* results in all the ratios added in, giving you fifth gear.
Once you grock that, think about it this way: the only real "gears" you have in a traditional sense are first and fifth. Everything else is just first gear plus a ratio after the first throw, then first gear plus two ratios after throwing two levers, then first gear plus three ratios after pulling the third, etc. So the difference is how much each lever adds to the current ratio. You could even start by all levers forward, then throw the far left one, then throw the far right one, the the second from the left, then the second from the right and finally the last lever and still end up in fifth.
Now here's the thing.... you want to shift it in the correct order, because each lever adds a slightly different ratio to the current selection.
@@floorpizza8074 wow how interesting. The ratios stack up
11:12 God bless Florida 🇺🇸
That background is super picturesque 😍It’s like the definition of Florida, can’t beat their sunrises and sunsets! Awesome content too, Cleet!!
Now that u are shifting the right way u can now start adjusting the Bruno drive by adding a bump in control and u can adjust your converter pressures up or down to suit the launch and track conditions cheers guys I have been doing this for years in a top dragster
Nah
А почему там гидротранформатор а не пакет сцепления?
I like how you struggled to get Leroy into the 7s, and now you built Mcflurry, and it dose it with ease
It’s amazing what the application of cubic mega bucks can do for your ETs.
Don't want to be biased but chevy vs ford 😆
Leroy also stick car, can't compare
@@joshdreiling25 he also wasnt near as experienced when leroy went 7s
FORD!
Just wanted to say Cleeter, you are genuine and appreciative of your friends, fans, and everything in between. You give ol' boy Sam the best treatment he could get at this point in his life. I think he deserves his OWN dream car! Id be willing to donate to that cause!! I think yall should surprise him with the car he always wanted but could never afford. I think I speak for alot of us when I say Well donate to the cause!! Love ya Brother! RUBBER SIDE DOWN! 😎
Sam deserves some credit on that engine along with Zak 👍
Sam has been a *_huge_* upgrade. Cleetus used to struggle getting his cars into the 9s until Jackstand came around. Adding George, The and Zach have built the team into a full blown racing team. Adding Sam was like adding a Crew Chief/Coach and sent the team to yet another level. Sam is a Legend and the team's best Bikini Contest Judge. 😂
@@RonniePTexan 😂👍👍
@@RonniePTexan Right on, brother. Well said!
Really got a kick out of Sam "judging" the bikini contest... it looked like it took 30 years off of him.
SAM AND ZAK.. .team keeps growing stronger, SAM"WAX ON". not just another pretty face.
@@floorpizza8074 I really hope they make Sam judging bikini contests into a thing. Usually Cleetus doesn't cover it, but there are contests like that at quite a few large races. It would be great to just toss in "This weekend Sam is taking a break from his racing responsiblies and he's doing the important work of Judging the Bikini Contest!"
Lots of old Pro/Stock videos out there showing this is the correct way to shift them. This car is a rocket!! Great job guys!!
I love the honesty lmao totally could have edited it out to make it seem like he knew how to shift that trans that seems to run on magic, but instead, ever a man of the people, shoots straight with us. Good man.
I find it's best to do it wrong for a while makes the payoff all the more better. 😂😂
This is a fact. It was like a free mod
My whole life gonna be better than cuz definitely done some things wrong for a while
@@CleetusM did the company not watch your videos when you first got it? LOL

Logic checks out
That sunset behind McFlurrys fast pass was awesome.

"Would a real American call and ask?"
lol! you guys are amazing. ya'll are gettin after it and gettin' er done!
Let’s Talk👍
Thanks For Watching..
Also from lencos website
Checking Shift Pressure (only on CS-1 style or center shift transmissions):
To measure the shift pressure install checking lever into tower screw jam nut all the way up the tower so it's out of the way. Now rotate tower clockwise until it lightly touches pin on shift fork then rotate tower counter clockwise 2 turns and place hook of scale in top hole of checking lever supplied with transmission (this lever should be about 5 1/2" over all length) and pull scale slowly to shift section, taking note of highest reading this is your shift pressure. If the shift pressure is set to your application lock the jam nut your finished, if not you then need to add shim to raise pressure or subtract shim to reduce pressure.
If needed you may vary 1 full turn up or down from your 2 turns out in order to achieve the shift pressure desired.
Servo
CS-1 style or center shift transmissions:
Air shifted LENCOS come pre adjusted from the factory. If it is necessary to remove the servos you should reinstall with the lock nut spun completely to the top of its travel. Screw the servo into the transmission case until contact is made with the shift fork pin. Now rotate counter clockwise 1/2 to 1 turn and tighten lock nut. No further adjustments are necessary as there is ample reserve travel in the servo.
CS2, CS3, CS4 & Lencodrive or offset shift transmissions:
There are two different size air servos for the New Generation transmissions.The small air servo (2.5"piston diameter) and the large air servo(3"piston diameter) for the CS-2 large case transmission and Lencodrives. The air servo is attached to a rotary shift plate by an adjustable arm which is pre-set by the factory and should NOT be changed. The arm is held into the servo piston by a set screw. Run the air servo jam nut and o-ring up the threads on the servo. Screw air servo into case until it bottoms out against the jam nut. Rotate air servo into case until you see the set screw in the air servo piston boss inside the case. Apply a small amount of Red (271) Locktite on the set screw. After inserting arm into the air servo piston boss, run set screw in until you can no longer remove the arm from the piston boss. Warning: Do Not over tighten set screw. The arm must be free to move in all directions. Screw air servo counter-clockwise about five or six turns before you reassemble the transmission. Assemble next section on to case and bolt tight.
Adjustment:
Once installed, make sure the air servo is loose and can turn freely. Remove fill plug on top the transmission case you are going to adjust. Sight through plug hole, where you will see the outer edge of the rotary shift plate. Screw air servo in (clockwise) until you see the rotary plate start to shift, now screw air servo Out (counter-clockwise) until the rotary shift plate stops moving. Then, continue to screw air servo Out (counter-clockwise) one half turn. This will allow for free play in the shift system. Run air servo jam nut and o-ring down against the case and tighten with a 1 1/2" wrench. Do Not Over Tighten. Add fluids as necessary and install fill plug. Attach air lines and your race ready.
OF COURSE !! Always RESEARCH WHAT YOU BUY AND “KNOW” HOW TO RUN IT !!! “KIDS”

It'd be kind of cool to collaborate with the DipYourCar guy for a custom color.
And chill the air with a intercooler. Summer is coming you don't want it to detonate.
@@Airsally Was thinking the same thing. Summer heat with two turbskies is gonna be rough with no intercooler.
I think the FOX body is my fav out of all your groups race machines ..... The way you guys have the suspension set up on McFlurry is unbelievable the front tires don't even lift it just goes straight down the track.
Bradenton is a pretty special drag strip. The prep there is outstanding. Kudos to the crew !
Because they pay for the prep. Nothing special about it.
Just imagine the thought of doing it with a factory composite intake manifold and factory sleeves. Mcflurry going to go 6's sooner then later
You need a blower with lenco the turbo doesn't seem like the right setup for the lenco they're typically in pro mods with a screw blower
@@barrelsurfergirl4614 looks like there is potential in doing it outside of its traditional platform. Turbos n lenkos look to perform well in the footage
@@barrelsurfergirl4614 why though? I understand boost lag but seems to be in high rpm's each shift. I feel like it's more of new guys not touching that trans and old guys not wanting to play with turbos and tunes

I find it hilarious to see chevy guys so impressed with a Ford build car.. little do you know that this might end up being the fastest and cheapest build in the channel.. cleet love the channel keep up the amazing content and it makes me happy seeing a ford racing on your channel 👍✊️
I mean the fact the there are more fast fox body's without a ford motor then with one i'm pretty sure its more so the fox body itself that is known to be fast as its a very lite car without a frame
old news for anyone that has been into drag racing
it takes a lot of power and money to get a car the size of mullet down the track at the speeds he does and that is what you call impressive!
Literally nobody is surprised. Mustangs have been popular drag race cars for 40 years
Never really thought I'd see a nasty mustang on the channel! She's a RIPPER! 🔥🔥🔥🚀
12:32 that's a helluva shot
"McFlurry, how do you do it"
It's a Ford powered Ford. That's how.😉
Watching her run mid 7s is almost anticlimactic. There is no big anything. She just goes A to B REALLY quickly, with no drama. Pretty sweet ride and nice driving. Well done by the whole team. Thanks for the great content.
I live for this Ford content. Mcflurry makes it look so easy.
That first left to right shift the lever came back so perfect to your hand waiting on it that was so smooth
I'm going to agree with right to left based solely on the ergonomics of the shift levers. When you pull the levers back the next gear you grab is the tallest and proudest handle of what gears are left in the run. I think it's designed for you to easily find the next gear. At least that's how I'd design it. With left to right you have to get your hand inbetwixt the levers and is not as intuitive.
Backwards still works for us Aussies in RHD cars :)
I agree, ergonomics should have been taken into consideration during the design. That reverse instinct approach always leads to errors. Further, when things are counterintuitive, they should be labeled (numbers on the knobs).
Anatomy of the body is always something to consider.
Only thing is the shift levers didn't come already installed and they can be installed either way as well
Not really... By going from Left to Right you are literally moving the shifter out of the way so you don't even have to think about which one is taller.
"How do you do it McFlrry" Idk...... its almost as if your team has gotten 10x better, you have more budgets, more knowledge, more experience, you guys are FKing killing it man!!! You did in like a few months what took you years, expererience is everything, you and the crew on on point this year so far!
The knowledge and experience is the biggest thing. I remember when Jackstand came on board. In those days Cleetus was lucky to run 9s. Adding George, Zack and Ty have made things run smoother and better. Adding Sam was like adding a Crew Chief/Coach to an already good team. Then add on top of that help from guys like Steve Morris, Pete, Kevin and in this video Stevie Fast helping cut almost 4 tenths with just a phone call! With that kind of knowledge and experience, I'll bet McFlurry runs 6s before the end of the year.
I’ll say one factor that is different in this equation that is helping the Ford motor 😉

@@RonniePTexan Cleetus McFarland is Good Civilization
I always thought was confusing shifting the knobs shortest to tallest but now your doing it right as you grab each gear its the tallest in line I didn't know you was going on no instructions but damn 7.79 to 7.54 Good Work !
Let’s Talk👍
Thanks For Watching!!
McFlurry reminds me of our girl Ruby. He may not be the fastest, but he always hooks up and goes.
The way this car is progressing, it'll be running 6s soon. Ol Ruby outweighs McFlurry by at least a few hundred pounds. Power to Weight ratio is, was and always will be king.
Did not expect those times so soon ! You and your crew did an amazing job building that car from the ground up. What a great addition to a already potent racing team.
Figuring that gear shift problem, it's like finding a hundred dollar bill in your pocket from last week's jeans
These are both problems I wish I had🤣😭
McFlurry is going to end up faster than Mullet at this rate
🤫Don't let Jack Stand here you say that!😂
i didn't want to say anything but LOL thats insane! this car was built just for a fun side project and its THIS FAST?!?!?! holy molly!
Nah
Well it's half the weight. Soo......
This car definitely has a chance to be faster than mullet. dont forget this engine is still using the stock intake manifold and running 7.50's
Happy to hear your finally gonna race at the Bristol drag strip. That is where the term "Thunder Valley" originated, not the circle track.
Kyle needs to get a lenko so he never misses 3rd again
Kyle would miss 3rd gear using a Lenco shifting from Left to Right...Then miss 3rd shifting from Right to Left! 😂😂
Our boy Cleet can break an anvil using nothing but cotton balls, and Kyle could miss 3rd using a PowerGlide! 😂😂
I kinda thought so, but it was freakin fast the wrong way too 😆 hell yeah brother! At least now when your "bracket" racing, you know sure as hell know how to slow it down almost a full second. Problem solved

thi is why i love this channel, straight up figuring it out, with the american spirit
11:11 - that sunset + the car is amazing.
Call me crazy but McFlurry is my favourite. She moves fast, straight and reliably on a fairly stock motor. Like he said “it just wants to go fast”
To be fair the block itself is the only thing stock, heads are completely redone bottom end is redone and oil pump
Stock and motor don’t go together around these parts brother
The blocks stock, crank is stock, the head is just a ported factory casting so not like it’s a stronger head for clamping pressure. So yes it has some updated parts like billet rods, aftermarket head studs vs stock tty head bolts “which were used 3 times not only once like intended,”. The stock rods held up where they were and they never broke one just put the better ones in because they were at the max for stock they were thinking.
The stock pistons were handing it too at the time they lost the head gaskets
I think its because like mullet its a massive motor. But they arent trying to push it to it limits on a suspension that needs a perfect setup. Motor makes the power easy they arent pushing the suspension.
Leroy and ruby both being baaically small blocks is an endless fight
@@bbdl7042 still has plastic intake, no intercooler and I think it’s the only stock block car they have or had that runs 7s
I remember when you had a hard time going mid 7s with any of your cars, now you just make it look easy!!!
Way to go!! McFlurry is moving now!!!
Really happy you guys are actually assembling engines in house, hope Zack gets good at building a reliable engine and you guys do some r & d like a real race team and experiment with different setups 🤙
That would definitely be fun to watch, but when you can get turnkey engines from someone like Steve Morris who has literally been doing it his entire life, you have a *whole lot* of experience to try and catch up with.
@floorpizza for sure. But what if we’re buying Cleet Motor Workx turnkey kits in 15 years? After all that r&d 🤔
Don't forget that some old man was just hanging out.
I think that might be a new Godzilla 1/4mile record.
From memory Brian Wolfe set it previously at 7.7
Did anybody notice the pictureperfect moment when Cleetus went into the staginglanes with the beautifull Orange sunset in the background? That was a real nice postermoment. ❤
Love you guys and everything you do thanks for entertaining us!!!
McFlurry is the new “Old Ruby” where she’d click off 8.43’s all day long and other buddies just got to go fast by letting go of a button. But this is the same consistency! Looks rad!
I new that from day 1 old school here bud,glad you got it figured out now,lot quicker the right way

You need to make a cooler exhaust for McFlurry
i thought even just rotating them down so they spit out over the fenders would be better than straight up in the air
They need to get McDonald's onboard as a sponsor. Nuggets for EVERYONE.
Gotta twist them into a double helix
Golden arch exhaust 👀👀👀
They’re off Leroy. That’s pretty cool.
I'd be interested to see the boost log for the second pass. Having wider gears at start then narrower gears at the end is similar to motorcycles that 1st gear needs to be super tall or you just wheelie. It should help load the turbo sooner
I met you in long beach about a year ago at the Grand Prix, thanks for the picture! i like to check back every once in a while to see what your up to.

Good ol' Cleeter back at the shenanigans again
What did i miss? I didnt see any Shenanigans
@@warrenmichael918look closer. cleeter is full of nonsense
I can definitely see mcflurry running a 6.99 easy with a super spicy tune and a proper setup suspension
I totally agree. They still haven't even started to tweak the suspension, which should be able to get them into the 7.1s-7.2s with just suspension changes. Also they haven't made tuning changes to maximize ET. Just playing with launch RPM, timing changes in 1st and 2nd gear could bring them to the 6.9s-7.0s... and that's *_before_* adding some extra spicy boost. They will have that car running 6.8s-6.9s before the end of this year.
@@RonniePTexan I think after they make that plastic intake go boom boom, they will toss on a few more upgraded go fast parts that will get them into or right at a 6 second run!! They will need more than 20 PSI of boost to get there and that plastic intake will not like it...haha

It's exciting to see yall climb that ladder to where you are now. If yall knew it all it would have been boring. Your fans can relate to the Freedom Crew. Stay awesome Cleetus!
The good thing is now you know this it's going to be faster but also if you're having issues with a track holding the 1-2 shift you could run it backwards to correct for that maybe 🤔

McFlurry out here runnin 7s shifting backwards!!! Lol 😂
That thing just will not go slow
Georges commentary never gets old 😂
This is why you see so many notch mustangs on the track!. Light and they fits big motors and the aftermarket support is amazing.
We know. Everyone in the world knows.
Lenkos are personally a mystery to me, how can you shift anything the exact opposite way with 1000hp?
Other than 1st gear the other ratios are so close together. That’s why.
Because Planetary transmissions are awesome.
@@lordcommander3224 but still 1st gear at 150+? Seems unreasonable tight if so
Because all the gears are almost the same except 1st. You’re just stacking them the opposite way. A Lenko is probably the most versatile, most simple, and toughest standard transmissions invented.
The gear stack at the end of the track 5th gear in all the same.
McFlurry is quickly becoming a contender. Time to strip weight and get it a paint job worthy of its fastness.
Gotta wait until it gets messed up first. If not, it will immediately after painting it.
Can we get some love to the stock intake? 👌
Let’s Talk👍
Thanks For Watching!!
Why?
Doubt you'll see this but it would be cool to have like a little video of the rpm/boost/coolant temps during runs. just an idea :)
Impressive regardless but when you put all the right parts from the start into a foxbody, it doesn’t matter so much of what brand of engine your using, as long as it makes good power your going to have good results along with one of the key factors that really helped, like having the Haltech guys come set up the car and get it dialed in. All the other cars have been unconventional set ups that got upgraded as they evolved. Except for Mullet, but it also did pretty good from the start as well especially for how heavy that car is and with the pretty much off the shelf TSP LS engine it had in it before the big block when in.
No lie I would laugh my freaking butt off if McFlurry runs 6s before Leroy does. I laughed when cleetus said that it took 3 years to get that kind of 60 foot with his other cars.
Not a good timeline comparison really. Cleetus has top of the line suspension and all the big boy go fast parts from the start with McFlurry but he was using junkyard engines and stock suspension on Ruby , not to mention he was still learning how this racing thing works without the team of guys he has now.
@warren michael The fox platform with the engine & tyranny combo is the key.
@@tr4u5mp90 no it’s the 4 link/ 9 inch combo is the key here for the 60-330 times.
@@tr4u5mp90 yes and no , the fox in its stock suspension form wouldnt even come close to running like it does now, its all that suspension and rear end work that makes it possible to put down all the power from the Zilla through the Lenco. It took a long time for Leroy to get fast because they didnt start off with as many top notch parts like they did here. I will agree that these fox tangs are a GREAT platform and thats why we see so many awesome fast ones out there. I cant wait to see them upgrade the intake and other remaining stock Zilla parts to see what it can do. I just hope it doesnt go bang before they get it really going fast!!
@warren michael I've seen many Fox platforms running crazy fast with a turbocharged coyotes with minimal upgrades.
How long until you guys get McFlurry into the sixes? And another thing, two things look better under the lights, baseball and drag racing, the light on that third run was really beautiful, and that sunset in the distance just added to the majesty.

It looks like a walk in the park, unlike Mullet with a smaller engine. Mullet gave you guys a rough moment.
