Casey Putsch has done some “horse tradin” and got his Jabberwocky Viper V10 drivetrain back and decided to get a better Lamborghini Countach replica to potentially put it in. He is also selling a 1997 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo and is open to selling his Countach replica and other drivetrains to help support Genius Garage
Casey has launched his new channel called The Golden Shovel today. You can subscribe to the channel here! @caseysgoldenshovel

I'm in the Toledo area but I totally don't know how to work on a Lamborghini with no engine. But seriously, if I had like a ton of money I'd just buy that empty countach in the hopes of getting it to run one day.
Keep hope alive good things still to come
if your intakes are in the cabin then you would only need a bottle to run nitrous
would be cool if you showed the impact genius garage has
An LS V8 with a flat plane crank kit would be awesome, or a Ford VooDoo flat plane V8 would be awesome too.
I'm in Dayton, couldn't commit loads of time to it but would LOVE to lend a hand here and there
I live in Ireland, if I was there I'd be honoured to accept being invited to swing a few spanners with Casey. And do some fundraising or whatever for Genius Garage.
2:05 “heh heh yEhs” is Casey’s car cowboy catchphrase.
Please lobby Jim Jordan to support your effort to replace Pete Buttigieg as Secretary of Transportation. This is your golden opportunity. It is why you were born. It is your destiny.
Casey, I will 3d print Fiero Center caps that fit over the stock center caps on those wheels….
what about an audi/vw W8 or W12? I would want it to sound good before anything else…. #1 sound.. #2 Reliable #3 can get parts #4 looks.
Setup the Countach like the Omega using diesel.
Your video makes this project seem a lot more interesting than the first post about it. Hope you sell it all and get some extra time with the family. If I was local I’d come wrench for you. Whichever way it goes, good luck!
I like that body style of the Countach because it has the round bottom/rockers. Since I live close to your buddy Chris Ardern, I'm pretty much on the other side of the state from you. If I were on your side of Cleveland I would be all over the offer to work at Genius Garage. Keep creating. Keep posting, Casey! Your content is always appreciated.
Former supercar owner here. I 100% get the vision of the Countach….no worries of door dings or expensive things breaking. Just drive it and have fun. Some people look down on 'kit cars' but they have never seen the build qualities of the originals. So yea, built it up and get it on the road.
I vote for the ferrari v8 to go into it…. call the project the "Italian hangover" lol
Why not a BMW V10? It's smaller and, probably, cheaper than the Viper engine.
those tillett seats are beautiful. That v10 would require extensive mods to the glass tub of that coutach…. but a short stroke 4.8l ls truck crank in a big bore ls block would give good characteristics for the car with a wacky rev range, and some fancy 180 degree headers would give off a nearly flat plane sound with looks to compliment the car as a whole. It's still an LS which is about the least unique choice, but its common for a reason and a destroker is a rare combo. Nobody likes to build for the high rpm musical glory it seems.
Maybe there's some Chevy hate or something, but it sure seems like a twin turbo LS would be perfect for that project. Ive seen 1200hp daily drivable ones, so I'm sure you could out-do a stock Viper engine and fit it in. But it's just not my kind of project, so maybe I'm way off here.
Casey, I thought that Countach's are notoriously known for small interiors? Can you actually fit comfortably in it right now or do you see yourself having to push the firewall back further to get a more comfortable driving position?
Get hold of Cletus McFarland about that Viper rig Casey, it's up his alley. Maybe Steve Morris Engines or Tom Bailey would be interested in it as well.
If I was around your area I would love to come out and learn things I don't know and hang out with a very knowledgeable person. I turn wrenches I'm just no where near your expertise in building things.
