  • In this episode of the Big Block Crown build we get stuck into mounting a Sheet metal Ford 9" diff into the Crown chassis and modify the suspension layout from 3 link/Panhard rod to triangulated 4 link.
    Thanks to Matt from Rogan Industries for the expertise. @roganindustries

    How you mad lads don't have over a million subs is beyond me. The fact that you guys go into detail and explain the process of the job and give awesome advice to your viewers, this should be enough to get you guys over the line surely.
    Keep up the good work fellas 👌

    Al's a brilliant car builder. Even more so he's brilliant enough to know there are other guys like John with the engine build and Matt with the rear end set up who are experts to appreciate. Legend.

      An old mate of mine whom i spent many years with helping him build cars and do engine conversions back in 80s an 90s his favorite saying as the wise man was why bark when you've got a dog never quite knowing what he meant. Then one day as a young man i asked him what the f..k it meant. Then he explained that i was his dog.

      Exactly. I've unsubsribed from more than one hack channel where they are more worried about making content than making stuff right. The Nissan President is a perfect example.

    • @Fuzzlet

      Don’t forget about the ep where they tuned John’s ute with a new carby - despite Al’s prejudice towards carbies he remained open minded and was willing to learn what can be done with a properly designed and sized one

    Shout out to Woody for timing the "clang" in the backing track with the gearbox hitting the crossmember. That sort of detail is the mark of a true craftsman!

    Such a cool project and so great to see all the details. So many channels and car shows gloss over all the insane work that goes into a build like this. As others have said: I can't believe you haven't hit a million subs yet, the quality of the content is miles ahead of so many massive channels, as are the jokes.

    I'd love to see a video explaining more around the mods allowable under NCOP and how you can work with/around this. I always thought the crossmember notch would not be permitted, especially with a heavy engine being installed. I'd also love to know how you are getting around the forced induction engine capacity multiplier!
