Watch a Turbocharger Violently Explode During a Dyno Pull – Flying Sharpnel! Duck and Cover!
Posted in ENGINES August 9, 2012 by Brian Lohnes
> >
With more and more turbochargers being bolted onto drag cars, street machines, hot rods, trucks, and in this case, old school import cars, there are going to be more and more videos like this hitting the internet airwaves. Here we see a second generation Toyota Supra with a Toyota 2JZ straight six swapped into it. [...]
Dyno Video: Watch An Aussie Mitsubishi Scorpion With A 420ci Ford Cleveland Small Block Make Nearly 600 N/A Horsepower At The Tires!
Big motor plus small car always equals fun but when the small car is a cool little old school Japanese job and the engine is a 420ci Cleveland headed Ford small block, we’re talking real fun! This video was made in Australia at a dyno/tuning day for this race car which can normally be found [...]
Dyno Video: Watch A Turbo LS Engine Sing To Nearly 8,000 RPM and Make Over 1,000hp in the Process

As I sit here waiting for some new head gaskets to arrive for Buford T Justice that I ordered from Summit, dreams of turbocharged LS goodness have crept into my brain. It isn’t any secret that a thoughtful matching of good factory parts and the addition of forced induction, especially via a turbocharger can transform [...]
Neato Video: Running a Flathead V8 Without a Cylinder Head!
Posted in ENGINES January 25, 2012 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This video cracked us up and had us pressing play multiple times just to gawk. It starts with a closeup shot of a running Ford flathead V8 that sounds as though it has a big time miss. As the camera man pans around the mill we quickly discover it does have a big miss, because [...]
Video: Watch The Biggest And Baddest Ford Production V8 Of All Time Shoot Fire And Sound Pissed! 1100ci!
Posted in ENGINES January 16, 2013 by Brian Lohnes

That’s right, the biggest and baddest ass production Ford built V8 in the company’s long history was an 1100ci, all alumimum, dual overhead cam, 32-valve piece that made over 1,000 lb/ft of torque just off idle and more than 520hp when run at its happiest RPM. What car was this thing in? It wasn’t. The [...]
Video: Is This The Most Powerful Ford Crown Vic In The World? The Rocket Couch Lives Again With Tons More Power!
You may remember our buddy Chris Adams’ 1992 Crown Vic from the pages of Car Craft a couple years ago where it starred in a story called The Rocket Couch. With a supercharged two-valve Ford modular engine, the car was a great sleeper and ran fast enough to hold its own. Chris has a business [...]

Anyone who has been on Hot Rod Magazine’s Drag Week in the last few years, and most all BangShifters, know that my Dad Walt has a 1968 Z28 Camaro that he bought brand new. They also know that he likes to launch the thing at 7000rpm or more at the dragstrip, and has been doing [...]
Amazing Video: A Man Builds The Smallest V12 Engine in the World and It Runs!
Posted in ENGINES November 23, 2011 by Brian Lohnes

Normally we spend out time around here talking about engines that are massive. Sonny Leonard builds 1,000ci engines in his sleep these days. If you show up to the strip in a serious car with less than 600ci in it you may as well be driving a bulldozer, and we weep at the mere mention [...]
DYNO VIDEO: A 598CI, 1014HP FORD BIG BLOCK!
Posted in ENGINES December 23, 2011 by Brian Lohnes

Bill Fowler is an OG BangShifter and the owner of a very mean Mustang. Bill’s car is an interesting study as he regularly drag races it, auto crosses it, and cruises it on the street. It is a true multi-use weapon. The true firepower lies under the hood though, as you’ll see in this video [...]
TECH VIDEO: WATCH STEVE MAGNANTE INSTALL AN MSD ATOMIC EFI SYSTEM

MSD’s Atomic EFI system has been a huge hit since being released at the 2011 SEMA show. The bolt on EFI upgrade for virtually any car that runs a four barrel carb has been tickling the fancy of car guys that always wanted EFI but were afraid to dip their toes into the water. MSD’s [...]

Freiburger and Finnegan are back with another episode of “Roadkill” their off-kilter adventure show where they do neat and humorous car stuff. Essentially we revel in their pain and suffering. We’re ok with that. This time the guys drive a 1969 El Camino that has been in Finnegan’s family since brand new to the Sparks, [...]

The men and women at Lingenfelter certainly know how to build horsepower. They’ve got everything from bolt on parts to full boogie racing engines available for sale. If you are going to be in the engine business, constant development and testing is necessary. Lingenfelter accomplishes this by racing their stuff. The late model Camaros they [...]
Dyno Insanity Video: A 3,000-HP Ford Big Block at Steve Morris Racing Engines
Posted in ENGINES November 17, 2011 by Brian Lohnes

Long story short, this is a video depicting one of the craziest Ford engines on planet Earth. A twin turbo, 572ci big block that made 3,000hp on the dyno at Steve Morris Racing Engines, it is a mill that should bring tears of pride to members of the blue oval cult. The only thing crazier [...]
Neat Video: A Plastic Visible V8 Model Gets Spun to Seven Thousand RPM!

Having just ordered one of the classic gearhead toys of all time for my kids, a Revell Visible V8 engine, I went trolling the web for a good video of someone abusing one. Being made completely of plastic, the engines are supposed to rotate slowly, showing how all the parts inside move and work. I [...]

We were chatting up a gearhead buddy recently who is into the old stuff…like the real old stuff. This dude has real vintage parts like a Kong ignition,a pile of ancient Thicksun intake manifolds and he is on the hunt for a set of first run Ardun heads. The guy is like a parts detective [...]
Dyno Video: Watch A (Claimed) Stock Bottom End, Turbocharged 4.8 LS Engine Put Down 700+ HP To The Tire Of A 1971 Datsun 240Z

Another day, another 100% bad ass turbocharged LS engine working on the dyno. Yesterday we showed you a 322ci combo making over 1,000hp on the engine dyno and today we’re back on the pump but this is a chassis dyno and the mill is the junior member of the LS family, the little 4.8 liter engine.
