this time on roadkill all of thisgreatness in the back of stubby bob yeah this one's this one's really cooldid you say wheelie this is the 1950 ford dumptruck that finnegan surprised me with an episode 44 now in that show we decided we were going to shorten upthe wheel base of the truck and we did it became known as stubby bob and wedrove the thing around a little bit with the original flathead ford v8 which wascompletely gutless we had a bunch of ideas about things to do with enginesmost of which revolved around trying to
cram them into the nose of the truck but then i had a genius idea does it have to be up here oh so the engine can be here yeah forward down the v drive will beright behind the seat that has wheelie potential yeah it does i've seen this done before well if themotor is going to be in the back let's just mounted backwards that's asfar as the thought process that gone but one thing we knew putting an engine inthe back can lead to wheelies
so the flatheads out i'm not gonna miss it what's the plan iwant to put this and this in the back of this so we just need to do all those thingsall that no problem so what we have here is a 454 big-blockchevy that will receive an 871 weiand supercharger came from junkyard gearstar 4l80e which didn't come from the junkyard and we're going to put thisthing right here and pray for wheelies we're both like really really stoked onthis because it's dumb and dangerous i know as much as i loved the flatheadford that was in this 50 ford truck
this is going to be one of the mostgenius things we've ever done this makes nascarlo look stupid this makesgeneral mayhem look sub average this makes the rotsun look like well therotsun if the sun is shining on us this thing does wheelies this came outof a junkyard and allegedly made 900 horsepower in west tech dyno with aprocharger something on it and you paid money for it i've paid a thousand bucks for it this thing's doing wheelies no matter what i like your commitment that i'vecommitment to this i don't think we've had a project that both of usare this into in a long time
oh you're right because the greatestthing we'll ever do you might as well end the show after this episode we're like 10 minutes in and we'vealready made a mess that is jacked thousand bucks seem like a good but at the time we just used a barstool seat as atemplate for our trans tunnel that works good thing we didn't just start plasmacutting the back wall of the cab because it would have gone right intothe gas tank this truck is mint and we are about thehack it and for once i have no guilt because it's gonna be so good
why do i always take this bullet i'malways the gas in the armpit guy every time well we are committed we are going tomount the engine directly on the center line of the axle which is going to putthe transmission in the cab of the truck we've marked are cut out and as you'llsee here i'm actually going to do the truck a favor because this is dented this is dented this can't stay like thisso i'm just going to cut the whole thing out just to sit back together if this doesn'twork iron in the hole the magic is coming
that's cool our work here is done so this is a casale v drive think ofthis kind of like a quick change rear end there's a gear here a gear there you canswap them you can run one to one you can over drive it you can under drive it what it really does is it takes an inputshaft here on a straight plane re-angles it this way in the oppositedirection down to the propeller of a boat and we're going to make it work onthe rear axle of our truck i could be wrong but that looks broken
so is most everything we owned i meanwhat are we going to drive the whole thing through this spline i think so this just stopped being a good idea thatwhen it blows up it's only next to your feet your fine i don't see this coming apart andthrowing parts when the drive shaft brakes and just beat you to deathspinning around that's an issue yeah this is really good this is fantastic we're trying to install the intakemanifold for the blower and
unfortunately it's not lining upperfectly they say this thing does not fit gen-6big block chevys which is what this is we're going to make it fit these are heavy but they're so cool there'ssilly people out there who will you know when they hear about what we didthey won't understand it but then you look at it you go that's why that's why you did this thisis gonna be great i thinking we put the gas tank up frontbut this is going to be way easier and less time consuming to shove this thingright here
so all that hours and hours of work do you spent building this finnegan ismessing around with non critical items like the decorative gas tank yeah not going away haha see that right there finally gives me one thats much sturdier than it was i feel safer this starts becoming allabout doing it right that's so weird even the worst blown bigblock chevy can make like 600 horsepower really without even trying
and i looked at the v drive thatfinnegan have got from some boat guy and i'm like dude are we really going todrive that much power through this thing and so he called an expert and found out no we're not that's the only thing i can tell you at this point what you have is a 1967 vintage v drive aka junk yeah do you want the good news well there is no good news you just wantthe news great this was built in nineteen sixty sevenhas the smallest prop shaft castle ever made and is only good for a ski boatwith about 300 horsepower perfect
my level of surprise comes in rightabout here now we've gotta scramble but look at themotor mount i mean i haven't even started yet and we already have thewrong v drive finnegan did a little bit of networkingand came up with this guy slim at slim's fab farm and while he's really amotorcycle builder in his spare time he builds these crazy chopped vans that dowheelies how's it going what's up guys are you doing we come bearing gifts that don't work that's a good gift the bear man yeahfifty-year-old v drive for you that's a new one what's happening i'm freiburger
freiburger nice to me you slim what's going on broher come on in guysi'm excited right on man i'm stoked to see all yourstuff here yeah let's go for a tour now i've never met slim before but a 10second tour of his yard tells me we're going to be good friends the guy builds killer choppers wheeliepopping vans he's got drag boats in the backyard and best of all he's goteverything we need to get our project back on track we can pick up mine know that this isgoing to be able to go that's awesome so
many ideas not enough time yeah we're familiar this is the hooptie this is good it's rough it's my stuff'snot clean it just gets done that's a 7,000 miles winnebago 79 440 so you can look at this old drive thisis what i was telling you about here this is an old toploader this one cameout of the old it was a white lightning circle boat and these are both1 inch shafts on on the this particular one and i beat this thingpretty hard it takes it and it's have never had an issue
pretty good entertainment seats look comfy ohthey're not bad man there's actually some spring in thosetwo just a little bit garden furniture status yeah here's the deal i'll whip the vanaround show you guys at that being super solid will pull that one out of the vanyou guys can run it on your deal because it's already set up and i'll take thatother v drive i feel kind of bad i do too that's pretty cool i'll swap you guys out i want that other v drive bad ok beacuse i likethose late model ones that's awesome so how's that we'rethrilled with that if you
wheelie the van for us to prove that itworks that's the key i think we can do this ok well we don't have limited cables init so i can't promise that the front is going to come up without limiting cablesbut i'll give it a beating and we'll probably wheelie but break thebrake cables in the process it's cool i'll go down here i don't know ifsomething goes wrong we'll jumbled up in front of it sounds like a deal ok i'm ready to that right lets do thisi get to go for a ride in his van that might wheelie right now and if itdoes wheelie i don't know we we kind of
have to make ours wheelie then becausewe're about to take the parts we need out of the van that wheelie so it's kind of a moral imperative let's dothis this really going to happen see what we can do in place i think that did it hit my head on the roof i think that's how you know ohmy god we just did wheelies on dirt dude you know what's crazy there'sno traction out here i know if i don't do it i'm sold this isour v drive best work ever
wow dude this is just insanity life is all about travel you need totravel the places to get the things you need and then you need a lot of travelin your car if you want to wheelie thank you so much you're welcome dude it's good to meet you guys super cool to get to know you thanks man there's a good time out heretoday slim just gutted his daily driver wheel standing van to give us the v driveto fix our project car and granted he's got other parts you can fix his own van but it was running and you know how thatis
the odds of him putting it back togetherany time soon are slim to none so that was really cool this is gonna bolt right up that hurt our fixture was a little wobbly yeah it doesn't matter what you looklike or where you're from or how much money you have if you have a super charger you're justcool you could be bald chicken arms you know bad feet i mean you could havea lot of things wrong with you but if you have a blower you're stillpretty good well you're asleep last
night i made you i made you a present whoa zoom a wow look at that it's the greatest thing we've ever doneit's not even done yet that's the greatest thing we've ever done there it's pretty good this is awesome need abeer over the weekend finnegan did virtuallyeverything and i went to cub scout camp and then had a bunch of corporatemeetings and he's wrapped it up the
point where he claims this thing's gonnafire up hear him filling maybe there should be we just got dynoedoil gauge on there it only hit me a little bit hey its got alittle pressure yeah its got oil pressure hold on i'll fixthat we need to buy stock in oil drive so what you just saw that was there's aplug back here that goes directly into the main oil gallery that you wouldnormally put an oil pressure gauge in got this currently does nothing the main thing is going to be keepingthis from killing us which is a real
thing if this breaks off its mount or ifeither one of the drive shaft brakes they're just going to swing around withour legs right here it could be really ugly so we're going to take three sixteenthsplate and completely and enclose all of here's where i admit that i onlymeasured to here so really the parts that i bought to build this aren't longenough to actually cover that you don't want to see your demise yeah okay all right screw safety
yeah there's no time for that would beglorious there's no time for safety if you'regoing to go go with glory and probably should have cut this off before we putthe transmission in place yeah yeah wonder why things take us forever this is dumb hey finnegan you know maybe weshould get the floor out before we actually mount everything nah will be able to do it later
there we go thank you right there that looks good put the shifter right on top yeah it came out of working vanhadn't blown up i'm sure that motor made at least 300 horse so will be fine at this point stubbybob is looking pretty much like it's actually going to happen and in walks mypal kj this guy is the editor diesel powermagazine but more importantly is our biggest naysayer what's going on here man this is a yo who did they did this finnegan you made
we did this together this is not goingto work dude this is going to do wheelies with thistotal death total death would you driving it nah dude nah man i'm not getting in this what are you gonna do you do reallywanna hitch yeah we gotta get a you know titaniumpads we can throw sparks no brah these guys this is officially have lostit at this point i'm always curious to see what you got goin on man but i'm notdigging this so where's your money is this thing wheelie or no wheelie not not no no no because you're your vision of grandeuris a little red wagon
if you're doing wheelies i want maverick yeah dragging your sparks and doing your thingyour driving i want no part of that you're willing to just get it hold thewheel put it in low and whacking see whathappens yeah it's you're adamant of our failure that makes me water make ithappen so it's not going to work ok hundredbucks on trailer hitch whoa let's go let's go yeah hundred bucks on a trailer hitch hundred buckson trailer hitch yeah i got a hundred coming to me man and i'm i meanyou know and i'm a crow eater when i
need to eat it but right now he'll bepaying a hundred on this one for sure look at this see that's the anglethe truck would be imagined this is the ground and that's the truck that's notvertical that's totally doable right i like to think i have a fairly goodgrasp of things and how they were most times this time no idea got nothing at this point i needed to call in thecavalry for some help and so in came lucky from hot rod garagefinnegan's off trying to buy fuel fittings
lucky's volunteering his time right nowlook at that i am there make lucky work free yeah that's normalright that goes without saying the seats not on fire should i keepgoing yeah all right and i'm actually comfortable likefull-on power tour ready this is gonna make a really great airscoop for the engine in an episode of hot rod garage youmight have seen these guys steal a seat out of the general mayhem well turnaboutis fair play
so when we were building this carburetorscoop out of spare nascarlo parts i needed some extra sheet metal which weliberated from the hood of the hot rod garage bone marrow how much winning is there that's a sexyright there were like the native americans we don't waste anything moment of truth the scoop is on thatmeans the trucks done so it or at least that nothing else is going to happen we're done working yes time to drive oklet's back up a hundred feet and be really happy about it because that mightbe the end it'll be the best hundred
feet of your life you realize we did all this just so thatyou wouldn't grind gears in the factory four speed know what we didn't put in seat belts i'm going to get my feet out of the way the vdrive scary what if it's actually fast it might be transmission works perfect thank you gear star do they do
breaks cus we need some that hurt yeah did we just spot them out good luck come on come on come on no one's looking at us thats cus their afraid so am i finally our first test drive of stubby bob andit's ridiculous i mean is fast is sketchy it rides likecrap and it still doesn't stop and i
don't care i don't care what happens from here we just one it does feel pretty spunky doesn't itand i don't think you got past fifty percent throttle either no way too scared and the v drive isso loud it can explode right there oh dude look we haven't been able to look at it likethis while we were building it check that out oh my god see it's actually i feel like i feel likewhen we put the hemi in the 55
this is that good wow let's hurry andget to thrashing i want to go straight to spinalcompression ready see you in the emergency room we're out in the desert where we canblast around and stubby bob and kill nobody but ourselves when the brakescompletely fail what i have no idea what your saying rear view mirror it works what rear view mirror works what overdrive
well that's just a simple cruise up anddown sort of going through all the gears which we couldn't really do driving itaround near our office and man it bangs the gears hard i'm claiming victory we haven't evengotten the wheels off the ground yet this thing's awesome now kj actually like herranged me to thepoint where i had to bet him because we had to at least try it and i thought icould scheme something to drag that hitch on the ground but i don't thinkit's doing wheelies but it's going to be fun
should smoke the tires to this fenderbolted on i think it has the potential to dowheelies i just don't want to be near it when it happened like yeah i reallyenjoyed my time with stubby bob good knowing you freiburger do you think it's actually time to trywheelie yes parents if you see your kids doingsomething similar to this stop them okay no they can make acareer out of it bob runs bob shifts bob kind of stopsand finally we're going to find out if
i'm going to keep my hundred bucks ornot it's stubby bob gonna wheelie or not okay ready lets do it man it did a kind of wheelie okay we can do that much better okay igot this that was awesome okay i'm going to shift it lot of pumps even more rpm we need to get it up higher i know your leaving to early yeah we did it
i thought it was going up dude yes that was awesome okay well it's your turnnext time alright i want a shot at the title yep you need a shot at the title youneed to put it on the bumper this is going to happen i want to back down the little hill justa little bit so you're thinking down the hills youcould be the key cheated a little bit yeah i did yeah if we can get down the hill more itshould like work the torque converter
and get more cowbell so go let's go ok you gotta put it on the bumper ifyou're gonna fail me if you don't i hope this works we just kickfreiburger out of the car to save a little bit of weight we've let it cool off i'm actually on aslight incline i don't know if we get the record fromkj by dragging the trailer hitch but i'm sure as hell gonna try right now i don't even feel like it's pumping
foot to the floor it all comes down tothis all of the wrenching all the theorizingall the smack talk with kj got it yeah look at that check it out right there oh my back victory hurts dude i was dumb dudeyou drag that hitch so far wow that was amazing this thing this didn't help at all yeah is thatthe mark yes jesus dude you drag the hitch
