yes I can say valve covers are the name aA
Can't wait to see this car run. Thanks a lot Evan!
That was a great video Evan! I like how you unboxed all the stuff. Very cool. That Godzilla is gonna be so badass. I can't wait to see it running in the car. I love the intake. I always learn alot from your videos even though I have been messin with hotrods and Fords most of my life. Thanks for the great content!
Saleen should make a deal with BMW or perhaps Volkswagen.
For lunch today yard bird
Sweet ride!
AWESOME!! I WAS CHECKING EVERY DAY FOR THIS!!
Great video very informative!
Glad to see the update. I was hoping you’d keep leaf springs. Some Calvert parts slapped on and they work awesome and ride nice too. Can’t wait to hear the motor in the car
We've GOTTA have the tallest stacks sticking up through the hood, Stacey David's 'V8 Interceptor' style! (which similarly had a bitchin' Ford V8 under the hood; a Kaase Boss big block, with the EFI stack intake of course)
Great car and a great engine
Godzilla name belongs to Nissans GTR foh with this
Wonderful to see a part of Ford, the FoMoCo part as they use to advertise it in the '60's, still putting out new performance V-8s. It's a mixed message I'm getting from them though because on one hand everything about Ford today screams wokeism, yet they along with everyone else massively support racing, modifying, hotrodding ICE vehicles? It has to be because of the double standard unfair state to state smog laws. Where some states NEVER require a smog check and some, California, are designed to destroy lives by keeping us having to buy new cars all the time or go broke fixing minor but expensive issues
Next to electric computer-controlled cars is so stupid remote control gas pedals. if I bought one of those cars be the first thing I'd rip out of it and throw in the trash a remote control gas pedal. are you f**** kidding me? you know hackable that is? just like the friggin electric electric cars like the Tesla is f**** hackable like you read about anything with that kind of s*** in it hackers decide to send you into a f**** tree you're going into a tree.
Mmmmm.. eye candy!
Short stacks should give the most HP @ peak RPM….
That Godzilla is an exact copy cat of Chevys LS engine.
So it should be a good motor.
Just likely Chevy copied Ford when they first made the ls that's a copycat almost of the 351 Cleveland at least in the head area it is.
Dodge seems to be the only ones that's not a copycat
Nice. New sub and thanks. Always been a blue oval fan.
Awesome I can’t wait to see more!
Best video I've seen in a long time for two very cool cars, the 69 Cyclone and that 71 Montego wagon. I absolutely love several things about this video 1. The cars 2. the detail and right to the point 3. You're in Florida. It's hard to even find shops in Florida that do what you guys are doing, and specializing in Ford / Mercury intermediates, almost unheard of. I wish I could be there just to watch you guys work on these two cars. A FYI, as far as my research can determine, the true production car with the most super speedway victories was the 71 Mercury Montego. David Pearson won 15 races in 72'-73' in his 71' Montego. The second Talledega race in 72' had 10 71' Montego's in the race, and one of them won, though Pearson didn't win that particular race. Please tell us what city in Florida you're in, and the name of your shop.
I have a 70 Montego.
Can't say I'm impressed by those ls/lt copies. They're the size and weight of a bbc….but then have 300hp less.
Been following this build since the beginning, it's gona be so bad ass once completed!
I have a 69 Fairlane 500 and been thinking of doing something similar. Like you did for the rear end stuff, are you able to post the part numbers for the front suspension components you used? Please and Thanks!
Congratulations, she's gonna eat everything on the road!
Sweeeeeeet
G'day Even, where do I get one of Dave's T-Shirts, "Gasoline Forever" ?
Why are you using the light duty 9 inch housing?
