Freiberger said they are taking the hemi gremmie motor.
They should just drop in a junkyard gen 6 BBC and heads cam it at this point, what hemi/rebuild is it now, #8 and at least $100k later minimum. |

Does anyone here actually give a shit? I do. Last night I watched the video of doing the install and finding the bellhousing bolts too long. Problem is, like RV8guy said, everything those guys do is behind schedule and cobbled to make it work. |

His life is essentially a constant distraction with how many irons he has in the fire between multiple shows and his YouTube. This time they forgot to top off the tank and it went lean, too bad he didn’t have it setup with his afr to pull timing to save the motor.

I like that ‘55, when I was a kid in the 80’s we made a few road trips that required a lot of cobbling to get home though we never lost a motor.

The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been mopar. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But mopar has marked the time. This track, this car: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

When I saw him post, I did check with some guys in Indy if anyone had something sitting around. Sadly they were all nitro engines, and probably wouldn’t be too good for drag week unless Mike wanted to rebuild every pass

I don't understand it either..
I've been on the track a few times. Oil, fuel and brake fluid you check before every pass. At least I did. I know of many other guys who did that same thing too. Before you hit the staging lanes. I also wonder if they did that for the show. oh, I blew up my hemi, so I can pilfer the one in the gremmie.. That he also built. And gave to freiburger. Secretly.. But what do I know. |

Having been on the starting line for all sorts of stuff, these drag and drive events are just slightly above your “street car run what you brung” events as far as preparedness goes. It’s a mad dash daily to get your passes in and make sure everything is good. Then driving a few hundred miles
Which is why I’m building a car for it. It’s wild. |
