This brings back memories to when I did some spectator racing events at the Santa Fe clay track in Illinois. Stuff like this is probably the best fun you can have on 4 wheels.
I honestly dont know how you guys do it. In no way shape or form would my mechanically obsessive brain allow me to drive that truck for 500 miles like that. 100% i would be completely insane by the time i made it to Florida.
We live at n a country where, if you sneeze someone will hand you a CSB crankshaft. Any parts place has the parts to fix it, and speed shops are all over the place. Get a 90s tbi 5.7, it's gonna drop in. And gearhead's help gearheads when they're jammed up. Same with bikers. Wife and I run a 92 F 150 cross country all the time, because the 4.9 has a ton of aftermarket support, and yards are full of them. Also have a network of other wrenches from coast to coast. We do regional trips like this all the time. Running, but not quite right, let's you determine if the vehicle is a keep, scrap after parts are pulled, or a long term project. Try it out, Junkyard Digs style, locally. It's a lot of fun. You meet some cool people, and make some great friends. See some amazing things. Don't get me wrong,the builds that matter, RK and we won't push. Look up the Hemi Gremie episodes. Dave calls it when the Hemi on that project was hurt, and they found an alternate car. Last one the wife and I did was an 08 Silverado from MI to western NY.epectricals and body were iffy, mechanicals were like new. Fixed the brakes, patched the wiring up, and drove it home. Wanted the 4.8 and auto for a project S 10 build. Comparable truck here was more than the repair and fuel costs, and we'd ridden the Ural down. Rented a rear gate trailer form Home Depot, for the tow back, and got to visit the kids on the way back. First trip with the new prosthetic legs as well.
Another fun tip..., you can put anti foul adaptors on the plugs...., but you can't do just one as it will retard the plugs you put them on..., so you put them on all of the plugs and advance the timing a little.
I know I'm wondering how it takes so long. I've done 1k mile days often. 1250 from my house to my condo in Florida and I have done it in 16hr 15min once.
That was the coolest race ever !!! I really enjoyed that video 😊😊😊
This is more or less how my own life rolls.
Get pulled over by a Florida highway patrol then 2 min later hey we’re entering Florida. Movie Magic😂

Oh did his dad pass away?

Definitely agree with you there

@@kevinfox500 i have 3 sbc's under my work bench,none of them ever smoked like that......
Rip,mr F
That truck is wrecked 😂
Finnegan... "Maybe it will get better". Frieburger... "Ha Ha".

Finnegan: "Hey, Freiberger, we're out of oil."
Freiberger: "Time for a burnout!!"
Nice little truck. Worth fixing up.
Lots of Lucas oil stabilizer and delvac 15w40 syn
80w90 would have fixed it
Thank You.
Should have done a half way car park engine swap
15:19 love all the oil 🛢 on the back window...😂....✌️👍🇬🇧
this eats oil faster then most bmw's
The 1776 car was derek beri from vice grip garage
brent pfi speed,goat,tuner extraordinaire winner of the race
What's with the big lumps in front of the rear tyres? They look like they'd pole vault over a speed bump
Cal tract bars for traction
Wait, you want it back 😂
I’m late to this video, but shout out to 1320 Kyle behind Frieburger
Lost my dad oct 2019. 😢
Time to put some gear oil in it
Yeah mix in some 80/90 gear oil blending, it should help
Thanks for the tip!
It will come back in one piece on the back of a flat bed
The problem with the Toyota was the SBC engine. If it had an SBF engine, there would have been more power and NO smoke!

The poor film crew that has to be behind them, are they supplied with respirators n' such?
I really don't understand how it can take so long to drive 500 miles, I'm a UK truck driver & I do 500 miles in 9hrs no problem

@@jeffreyjuliano2835because they’re driving an old beat car that doesn’t run well.
9 miles a quart of oil,maybe 50 miles then stop.......math isnt that hard
Isn't there an additive for that
yeah,add new stem seals, rings,bearings,oil pump,pickup tube,valve cover gaskets ,intake gaskets etc
Awesome?
I noticed the error.
What error?
What did you find?
@@BlasterxpChevy motor in a Toyota doesn’t help
Ruined the reliability of the Toyota by implanting the Chevy abortion.
dudes mad that the only fast toyota engine is a BMW powerplant lmaoooo
Comment is correct. My 86 p/u 4cyl has 1.2 million mis, original motor and trans. Nothing will every touch it gas or diesel, foreign or domestic
@@Garf2Olifetime reliability over speed.....any day bud
@@joeblow8206🥱🥱🥱
replacing anything with an engine thats absolutely fucked isnt a good formula for reliability
I had 65 nova wagon got about 6 miles per gallon of oil
