The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 4: Burnouts for Distance

[Bigtanker]

You should send this video to the guys at Roadkill, they love burnouts.

Thanks

I posted on FB and tagged Cleetus. I can edit it to add Roadkill.

Well, rejetted the carb down 2 sizes. Retuned, reset the timing. Runs really well. Used a different hose for the pcv and the smoking is subsiding the more it runs. We wonder if it wasn’t so rich it was just washing down the cylinder walls on the cylinders that weren’t firing well. Less blow by for sure and it fires up fast and has a great idle.

So I listed it for sale.

Wow! Them thrust bearings are shot

 

[jeffsqartan]

I keep getting stupid $300 offers on FB Marketplace, so my buddy and I are thinking keep it, put new bearings in, and use it as a nitrous motor. Go have fun on the street and strip. It SHOULD have forged pistons in it.

No wonder that thing was vibrating. That's a metric crap ton of movement

Better make sure they are forged pistons or it won't last very long on spray

Everyone wants you to give away used parts regardless what condition they are in. That is frustrating

FIFY

But still priceless.

Cleetus was live-streaming his second jet boat race all afternoon. I checked in a couple times. He survived all of the elimination rounds and took 1st place in his class.

"Custom" bodywork.

I'd like to see the cage and frame connectors.

The "custom" body work is just plain goofy. The side pipes are completely out of place and the white/black wheels should be on a different car. It's a turd for sure. But, honestly I don't hate the orange/silver together and I like the pony on the front.

That dude was having flashbacks from the 70’s van fad.

Lol. May have been huffing just a little too much lacquer thinner. They should never be allowed access to fiberglass and resin ever again

 

[femurphy77]

At least it's priced accordingly.

Idk. Will be a chore to get those scoops off the aides and might as well replace the whole hatch. Sawzall would handle the side pipes easy enough though. You should buy it and start a new project

This 302 sounds rowdeeeeeeeeeee on the 2-step.
Furthermore, I wanna know what transmission he's got behind that thing, cause he's rippin on it hard. I looked through a few of the videos on it and haven't heard him say what it is.

Those Malibu's made fun little hot rods. They were cheap back in the early 2000's. I had a Malibu wagon that my wife drove. Had a mild 350 in it. Sleeper.

Ok. This is real cool article.

This Is What An Inline-11 Engine Sounds Like

The vast majority of engines produced have an even number of cylinders. There are several reasons why, but the primary reason is balance and packaging. Still, there are cars with odd-numbered cylinders out there. Mini uses a BMW-sourced turbocharged triple, and Audi famously uses a turbocharged...
