The DV call was excellent, hopefully we can all move on and do what we do , make engines better . Your son’s commitment is exemplary. Probably in the genes . Great update
I watch DV all the time and you're 100% correct, dude has an out of this world ego. Some of it is well deserved but man does he "know" that he's the smartest guy in the room.
"man does he "know" that he's the smartest guy in the room" -Cite some examples. Eric has called DV out, and he's backed it up with nothing but "I don't believe it". Perhaps you can do better.
@@NotSure723 I was kind, I said some of his ego is well deserved. If you want an example of his ego, the only thing I called out by the way, you only need to watch his videos. Every other vid he talks about how he knew better than someone at a company and his unique cam or whatever made an additional 10hp. 10hp is 10hp and we're all looking for whatever we can get but it's not exactly a bragging number. He's always talking about that Mini that won so much back in the fifties or sixties and does he EVER talk about the driver's skills leading to the victories? No, he's never even mentioned the driver by name, just the engine he built. Same with the patent on that muffler he designed, does he ever mention the name of the guy that co-designed it? I've sure never heard his name, have you? He's well written and laid the ground work that many of us use. He deserves to have an ego but a little humility makes a person beloved not just well known. Maybe he's fine with being well known. As for Eric, he gives us free content, he doesn't owe us an explanation for his opinions anymore than DV owes us one for his
@@jseal21 "Every other vid he talks about how he knew better than someone at a company and his unique cam or whatever made an additional 10hp" -So? What makes you think he _doesn't_ know better?

Also, yes, he does have some videos talking about driving. "Same with the patent on that muffler he designed, does he ever mention the name of the guy that co-designed it? I've sure never heard his name, have you?" -The patents are literally in _his_ name... "he gives us free content, he doesn't owe us an explanation for his opinions anymore than DV owes us one for his" -He's talking sheet about an old man. Sure he doesn't owe _me_ anything, but if he's going to talk, then he should be prepared to back it up to the accused. "a little humility makes a person beloved not just well known." -He has that. Many times he has talked about how little he knows, and his thirst for discovering more.
Yes, you are definitely on to a really good idea. 383 street combos where we can see some lower rpm torque, (stuff us backyard mechanics can relate to) would be awesome!
Love all your videos and updates on your son. Family is important. And thanks for calling David. He is one of the old timers that most hot rodders have learned from.
Eric you are a great Dad. Your son is so driven and that is good. We are only young once and the work outs he is doing will also show when he gets to be my age (59 and1/2) if he continues to be MINDFUL. Yes, be mindful of how you treat yourself and you can age gracefully!
Thank you Eric for the video! If I were you I'd make a sbc 350cid as your 'street' mule engine as it's probably one of the most used engines all times. It's also a real budget to build to a dyno mule. Good luck to your son on swimming!
Awesome that you’re passing those books on. I’ve got an extremely similar stack just sitting on a shelf. Maybe I should find someone deserving to do the same… I find it funny that guys are calling a hand porter and being surprised that he’s likely 6-10 months out. Have they contacted a legit race engine builder to see how far they are out? My “small time” but world record holding engine builder stays 8-14 months out.
Hey Eric, I was thinking, since I don’t have a 400 block to help you with, I could offer something else. I’m always needing heads ported and if you need block machine work or a short block built I would trade out labor. Your Porting work for our block machine work and or assembly. This would help fix the cash problem on getting you going again. After we finished you up I would take a short trip to come out and bring your short block and pick up my heads so there would not be any return shipping. Needing to go see a cousin out in Missouri anyways. Let me know!
Hey, atleast your son has a passion. It shows you've done a good job.... (and hey, never know maybe he'll get into cars later 😊 ) Kudos Eric and thank you for all the hard work and great videos you've put out. You and DV are my favorites..
I wish I had that car as a kid, I’d be in Heaven getting to work on that. My dad took MY money and bought a 1990 Pontiac lemans four door with it. 2000$ dollars. My 2000$. Had no say so on the car I got. At least it got me around till I went and got a loan.
Amen you're awesome, if we all could just try to think of our fellow man before we get too far gone this world would be a better place, the shame of it is that we all know this, so I say kudos to you Eric! Much love sent to you and your family from me and all of us that get to watch your videos. Pay if forward folks, what could it hurt?
First happy Father's day and second I can relate to looking up to your son I actually just talked to my youngest about how much I look up to him I. So many ways from his discipline and drive to his integrity and everything else God bless your all in my prayers I also sent my guess for the books
I wish I lived in Oklahoma so I can work for you would be cool to learn and just look at cool heads. And nice ideas for Dyno mules I do am curious I honestly kinda wish you did a 350 with your ported dragon slayer vs like say afr enforcer just a idea and I don't know 350 to 383 build are more common or at least the people around me especially 367 max cubic inch but yeah smaller cubic inch seems to cool for guys who see ok cool most guys are in that range I guess
The mass thing I never would of thought of he was more fit but heavy I didn't think he would be slower which if he is heavy like you said heavy is more drag in the swimming which actually makes so how can you balance that if you want to be stronger with more muscle and be stronger but not be heavier to be faster
Because in order to use 30degree seat you top cut would be 15degree and that is flat and only works on flat poorly designed chambers like stock pontiacs. I will not dyno it because you ruin a head doing it. I don’t want to make a doorstop in order to prove it.
Back in the day I had all of David's books,engine builder magazine,muscle mustangs and fast ford's,just about everything smokey had printed, a couple dyno Don articles and now thinking back how much more we had available in print to just reference if we needed and all of them will be my sons when the time comes... I love what you are doing man keep it alive
Seeing how he is still denying he made death threats and deleted them when he reported his video... Shows he has lost his mind! DV needs to be in a home!

I'll go with 20 for the 3 books. I learned by reading the "How to Hot Rod Small Block Chevy" book. Followed by the Grumpy Jenkins book.

Same too.

He will come around to cars! Im porting a cast iron head right now! Happy fathers day!
My son got into cars but not hunting and guns. I love all them. Your son is in that maturing age. He’s building mass.

Tried to Order a Shirt of your Sons car I dont do Pay pal or Venmo though .
76
I have that same book on how to install and use nitrous oxide.
I see a cast iron head... it looks like someone has done some work to it?
@ Eric Weingartner Have you finaly capitulated?☺😎
No. I just wanted to see how he was doing.
Could you please explain why you don’t agree with the 30* seat... just curious ... and do you have any dyno results where you tested it thanks
Because in order to use 30degree seat you top cut would be 15degree and that is flat and only works on flat poorly designed chambers like stock pontiacs. I will not dyno it because you ruin a head doing it. I don’t want to make a doorstop in order to prove it.
it'll be #57
Smokeys book has the most harmful information.
Any of those books been Flagged?
Any suggestions on who could rebuild a sm465 around Tulsa?
Maybe Lucito’s machine shop.
Great info. Just found your site.
Forgive me if I'm wrong but have you done BBF 460 heads? I haven't seen a video
I have done some just very few.
great giveaway ,,,have them
if you had 318 heads...
Very cool of you Eric!
When will you pick the winners of the giveaway??
I have one person guess right so far. 3 are one number off. Here is a hint it’s not 57. 7 people have guessed that.
@@WeingartnerRacing I have sent you an email. 58

37 for me.
