Can You Bolt LS Cylinder Heads Onto A Ford 351 Windsor? And Will They Actually Work?

Since the LS engine came out there have been Ford guys all over the world spouting off about how GM used Ford cylinder head design on them. Of course no GM guys wants to admit that might be true, and Ford guys don’t want GM guys getting to use it even though they abandoned pushrods a long time ago. So it is what it is. But will the two go together? Can you actually bolt up a set of LS cylinder heads onto at Ford short block and make them work? Well apparently the answer to that is question is maybe. Or I think I can. Or hold my beer and watch this.

Whatever the reasoning, the guys at GMTgearHDs decided they needed to try it out. And they shot video. In fact, several videos and we’re going to start sharing them with you folks right here. Below you’ll find the first two videos in the series so you can see just what makes these guys tick and why they think it will work. They won’t just bolt on. Or will they? They are obviously going to require machining, and custom parts, and all kinds of stuff. Or are they?

Watch.

TX2K Day 1 From 1320Video: 200mph races, Kyle’s FIRST R8 passes, & MORE!

TX2K is a huge event nowadays, but I remember the early days when almost all of the coverage you’d see from the event was coming from 1320Video and most people hadn’t even heard of it. It’s one of Kyle’s favorite events of the year, and with good reason as they helped so much to make it the monster event that it is today. But I know that Kyle’s favorite thing about going to TX2K in 2021 was getting to roll race his newly finished twin turbo R8, because not only did the car look great and put a big smile on his face, but it also kicked ass at the event. It was cool to see just how well he did with it, and we’re super thankful for all the cool coverage he and the boys put together for this year.

Watch the video below and we’ll bring you the rest of them over the next couple of days.

In this first video you are going to see 200mph runs, Kyle Roll Racing his R8, and so much more. Enjoy.

This Barn Find Z28 Camaro Is Finally Rinsed Off, Checked Out, And All The Extra NOS Parts Inventoried

Last week we showed you this 1974 Z28 Camaro that Chad at Nobody Else’s Auto bought from a guy who’s had it since the 1970’s. They talked about the history and how long the owner had been in love with it, and how Chad had been trying to buy it for years. The 1974 Z28 has a special place in Chad’s heart, because he remembers riding in one with his Dad as a kid. The car has had just two owners, and besides having every bit of history for this thing there is also a pretty good amount of cool NOS parts.

Here is the description of the video from Chad:

1974 Chevy Camaro Z/28 – I know a lot of you wanted to see the car better in the other videos, so as soon as I got it rinsed off the other day, I unloaded the car and shot this video! We’ll take a good look at the car in this video plus dig through the boxes of NOS parts that came with it. There wasn’t a lot of NOS, but anything is better than none! I know these aren’t the favorite year of Camaro for a lot of people, but they are for me. I had a 69 Z/28 that I sold last year and I like this car a lot more! Like I talked about in the last video, I was born two months after this car was built, but, there’s another story I have about 74’s. One of those that sticks with you for decades about a certain car from when you were a kid! That story is another reason why I’ve always wanted a 1974 Z/28! I’ll get to that story in this video as well!!! That car was a little different than this one, but this is such a great car, that it fits the bill for me!! I have been able to check a few of the numbers that I could get to and so far, everything has been correct, even the carb is original! The floors look perfect on the bottom side! The car is now tucked away in a corner of my shop until I have time to do something with it, but so far I’m really excited about it!! If you liked the video, please subscribe to my channel! If you like old cars, trucks, and automobilia, be sure to check out all of my other videos! As always, if you have questions about vehicles or parts, the only way to get a hold of me is to call me, no texts. Thanks for watching, Chad. 620-786-4428

Murder Nova’s LS/Procharged 1955 Chevy Maiden Voyage! This Thing Is ROWDY!

Murder Nova’s LS/Procharged 1955 Chevy Maiden Voyage! This Thing Is ROWDY!

I like Rowdy. Especially ProCharged rowdy. I know what that is like because I have a small block with one on it and the thing is just plain nasty, in all the right ways. Shawn and the rest of the Murder Nova gang have been working on this ’55 Chevy for a while now and every time they get something else done on it there seems to be a little more excitement about actually getting to drive it. Well, this is the video. The one where driving the ’55 actually happens! Shawn last drove this car 11 years ago, and while it was driven on the street a bit then, it was definitely not a “street car”.

Hang out with the guys as they build a set of headers for this thing, button up the rest of the little stuff, figure out why one hole isn’t firing, and then light this bad boy off and take it for a cruise around town. Remember, street car, so they are running this one on E85 straight from the pump.  I don’t know how good that E85 is that they are putting in, but it is certainly good enough for cruising around town. I can’t wait to see the first street hits and the fun they have while perfecting their shenaniganary.

This Chop Saw Metal Cutting Station Is Something We Need In Our Shop And You Might Too!

This Chop Saw Metal Cutting Station Is Something We Need In Our Shop And You Might Too!

Regardless of how big your shop is, having dedicated and efficient work space is always a good thing. If your shop space is small, that becomes even more critical, but again it is a good practice regardless. One thing we hate is having to cut tubing and materials on the ground or on a welding table and then having to move everything out of the way to start welding it together. This is where having a dedicated cutting cart or chop saw station can really come in handy. Now I’m a big fan of stuff that can roll around when needed, but it isn’t always necessary. I just like being able to move it where you need it, or where it will make less mess whenever possible. I’m also all for little touches that make the use of the work station even easier or simpler. Such is the case with this cool metal laminated metal cutting work station.

The build is super simple, with no mitered corners to worry about, and the idea of laminating sheet steel to plywood for the tops is something I really like. It makes doing repeated cuts with magnetic stops a really easy thing and also makes cleanup a lot nicer than a wood top table. And by using sheet metal the price isn’t bad at all.

Watch the build, be inspired, and share pictures of your projects with us. Who knows who you might inspire.

Stocking Stuffer: The Absolutely Epic Jason Plato/Matt Neal Interview Inside Of Renault Williams

Stocking Stuffer: The Absolutely Epic Jason Plato/Matt Neal Interview Inside Of Renault Williams

For a kid with a strong racing fascination in the mid-to-late 1990s, you essentially had two outlets if you wanted to see good action on television: TNN and Speedvision. (I’m sure ESPN showed something in between other sports, but I couldn’t be bothered.) TNN was where you went to see NASCAR highlights, swamp buggy racing, automotive shows at the time, and the occasional tough-truck competition. Speedvision, when it hit our cable provider in 1996, was where you went when you wanted a taste of the weird and the unknown. Much to the irritation of my parents at the time, I would be wide awake at three in the morning with the television on, the volume cranked just high enough that I could hear something, watching British Touring Car racing. I loved the stuff, because in my developing mind, it had three things NASCAR just didn’t have: real, identifiable cars; road courses instead of one sweeping oval; and drivers with personalities and tempers that didn’t hold back because it would look bad upon their sponsors. If anything, it seemed like the sponsors were gently pushing their wheelmen to be a bit more…how should I phrase this?…hands-on when it came time to solving disputes.

Over the years we’ve shown you great action from the BTCC, including the absolutely infamous incident at Silverstone in 1992 that saw middle fingers flying on live television coverage and body panels getting smashed in like it was a banger race and not a touring car run. That was the early 1990s…by the late 1990s the two gentlemen that are being interviewed by Jonny Smith were point and center in what many saw as a bitter rivalry. Jason Plato and Matt Neal were names you heard regardless of when you tuned in for a race. Their personalities are so different, yet the same in many aspects. For years these two have battered and bashed their way around tracks, have found themselves in front of the officials and the cameras alike for their antics, and have somehow managed to be friends, even after threatening to kick the shit out of each other after big crashes.

Merry Christmas, BangShifters. Once the wrapping paper gets cleaned up and the kids are off with their new goodies, sit down and watch these two. It’s worth it.

Best of 2020: 1974’s “Vrooom!”, A Look Back To The Track In 1974!

This Snowmobile Vs. Jetski Chase Video Proves That Anything Goes In Finland!

I should’ve known it from the moment I saw the action kick off. Two jet ski riders and a guy who is driving…not skipping across, like we’ve seen, but actually driving…a snowmobile on water. Like it’s a normal freaking thing…it’s just another day in Lahti, or Kuopio, or Kajaani, nothing to see here. Intended to be a Hollywood style chase scene, what we really have is a Finn on a sled, on water,  telling physics to eff itself. At several points we were expecting to see the snowmobile dip just a little bit too far below the water and risk hydrolock, but the rider, Joni Maununen, does a superb job of keeping everything together and right at sea level.

I’m calling it right now: the only reason you don’t see Finnish actors in American action movies is due to the language barrier. That’s it. And that’s sad. If Arnold Schwarzenegger can overcome a thick Austrian accent and do all that he did, certainly a wiry Finn with little regard for personal safety can make it big as an action star.

Arise, Lazarus: Washing A Datsun 280Z That Has Been Sitting Since The Bicentennial

Arise, Lazarus: Washing A Datsun 280Z That Has Been Sitting Since The Bicentennial

I might have had bad luck with one the last time I laid hands on it, but if you are lucky enough to have a first-gen Datsun Z-car in your possession, treasure it. If there was ever proof that a Japanese car company was striving to be loved in every market they entered, the S30 chassis was it: sporty and cute, nimble and quick, and with some fine-tuning an absolute beast. The interior was, for 1970, as good as it got, with full instrumentation, great legroom, and a useable luggage area behind the seats. 151 horsepower wasn’t anything to be ashamed of in a car that weighed in at half a ton lighter than most of the musclecars of the day. And just to make sure it was loved, it was actually fuel efficient by the day’s standards, which meant that the car was perfectly timed when OPEC decided to use oil as part of a political game in a couple of years. They are good.

Problem is, they are also old and just like the last one I had my hands on, have been thrashed, used up, and in many cases are battling rampant tinworm disease. If you see one nice and complete, you are seeing the end product of a restoration most likely. Now imagine finding one that is perfect. Not “that’s a really nice one”, but perfect. 350 miles on the clock. Untouched since 1976. A layer of dust thick enough to protect the paint from the sun with. What would you do?

Well, I would hope that you would be kind enough to give the poor thing a bath…

Unhinged: The Hyundai Scoupe Story

Classic YouTube: Testing The EMALS Launch System On The USS Gerald R. Ford!

Classic YouTube: Testing The EMALS Launch System On The USS Gerald R. Ford!

If there’s one thrill ride we’d love to try, it’s a carrier launch. Forget your roller coaster or bungee catapult – very, very few things can compare to the right-now acceleration that an aircraft carrier’s launch system can provide. If it’s good enough to fling several tons of aircraft into flight, it’s good enough for a speed junkie, right? Most of the United States Navy’s aircraft carriers use a CATOBAR (Catapult Assisted Take Off But Arrested Recovery) systems that are steam-powered, but the the USS Gerald R. Ford class of carriers do not: they are incorporating an EMALS (ElectroMagnetic Aircraft Launch System), which is expected to place less stress upon aircraft while providing a more gradual acceleration pattern. Make no mistake, EMALS is still going to be the same swift motion that CATOBAR offered, and during testing, one 7,000 pound orange sled was used to prove that. Launched off of the deck of the USS Gerald R. Ford during it’s upfitting before it’s move to active service, the sled gets all of the air you would expect. What you would not expect is that the sled has enough momentum to skip like a stone after the initial impact with the water, nor the viciousness of the acceleration between the release and the moment where the ship disappears and all that’s underneath the sled is seawater.

Classic YouTube: The Pilot Of This BO-105 Helicopter Has No Fear Whatsoever!

Classic YouTube: The Pilot Of This BO-105 Helicopter Has No Fear Whatsoever!

I’m sure I’m gonna hear from a lot of people I used to work with for saying this, but it’s a reality: not every helicopter pilot is a great pilot. Safe, sure. Competent, absolutely. But a great pilot? What does that even mean? To most of us, so long as we can walk away from the landing without wearing freshly-soiled clothing, that’s a great pilot, but I disagree…that is a competent pilot, someone who knows what they are doing, flies with respect to limits, adheres to all safety margins, and keeps the bird in one piece. Or, in other words, unlike most pilots I know. A good pilot can handle basic manuevers. A great pilot knows how to handle manuevers that would scare a standard co-pilot bad enough that they will turn in their wings. They know more than the safety limits. They know the absolute limits of just what their machine can do and are still able to land it on the pad in one piece.

As you watch this video, understand that not all of what you are seeing is to the pilot’s credit. The Bo 105 is a light twin-engine bird that was one of the first helicopters that could pull off aerobatic manuevers like inverted loops, rolls and other trickery. The Bo 105 can be manhandled around with little to no issue. That doesn’t make it any less awesome to see as it weaves through this patch of trees…One tree in the middle of a gravel pit is more than enough, but a whole forest worth of sturdy pine is something else altogether!
