  • We're back working on Snowball's 1970's-era dirt track racer by taking our 440 V-8 Chrysler engine to the machine shop. Jon at Apex Competition Engines has taken on the task of walking through the process and getting everything ready for us. Hopefully this vintage race car is back on the track sooner rather than later!

      Not because young guys aren't interested, but because there's probably very little business in rebuilding engines.

      He won’t have much of a future if the EV agenda goes into full force in the next decade. And if governments regulations start enforcing strict policies on internal combustion engines limitations. Well good luck. Government can do what ever they want. People like him will just have to eat it.

    As someone who spent most of my life as a machinist and building my own engines I really enjoyed seeing the types of machines and setups. I recently used two very experienced machine shops to build two engines. Both had years experience but not much with Chrysler engines and when I picked up the cylinder heads they had no clue as to how or why they should get the valve stems the same height. They both said there was no specifications for valve stem height and left them uneven. Seeing how that was achieved made me feel like I knew more than the builder producing Chevy and Ford race engines professionally. The only thing I didn’t see was align boring the mains. Great video and I’d love to see more when performing extra tricks for oil return, pumps and whatever! This will be a lost skill very soon it seems….

    Of all the jobs I've had in my life, my time working in an automotive machine shop was a real joy, even though I made less than $2 an hour. I particularly enjoyed fitting wrist pins to rods. I like this young man's approach to his work, especially how he cleans up after each step. Good shop for sure.
