I've noticed a disturbing trend with these shows lately: All the ball busting going on between the builders. What always attracted me to these shows was the straight, no-drama, no-nonsense approach to building these machines. You guys weren't the freaking Teutles; there was no beep-beep, wrench throwing, screaming bullshit. You did the work, showed us how to do the work, and kept it a pleasant, almost soothing experience. You acted like professionals. You're not at the manufactured drama stage yet, but you don't ever need to be.
Every shop i worked for. If you liked or respected the person you busted their balls. It’s a normal thing
Robbie there’s a big difference between busting balls and acting like a little girl
I think these guys really don't like each other
@@robbiefrentz9427
it feels fake.. and for the camera. Pretty sure it is.
I agree I could do without.
I just pick the small bit of info that would can out of the shows, new products or a technique I wasn't familiar with.
The ball busting wasn't bad, just annoying, but real or fake the producer should stop that.
Ball busting is part of every shop but this is or should be a professionally produced show. The audience doesn't come here to see an Orange County Choppers cat fight, even if it's minor. There are chingos of other build channels to watch and one more of these fake piss fests and I'm done.
Dude with the funny accent looks like Mac from Always Sunny 😂
When Mac from Always Sunny and Jason Sudeikis build a truck together 🤣
I have waited many years to see a 292 build. Awesome.
I cant help but think of mac from its always sunny with this one dude here
I am still absolutely blown away by the fact that the 292 they're putting into that truck made 376 HP and 510 lb ft of torque on low boost. Think about that...that's Caddy 500 and Buick 455 territory. The Buick 455 in it's highest output trim made 360 HP and 510 lb ft in the Buick GS Stage 1, the Caddy 500 made 400 HP and 550 lb ft with 10.0:1 compression in 1970 ONLY. The Caddy 500 went on to make 190 HP and 360 lb ft in 1976 with 8.5:1 compression. Damn emissions restrictions! I'd still love to own a 70 Fleetwood Eldorado with a 500. Even the Cadillac 472 in 68-69 made 375/525.
Today we're going to do something unique. We're going to install a straight six into something that was originally equipped with a straight six.
You'd have a point if it was left stock or stockish with no turbo. In this form it is unique though.
Oh I definitely gotcha. It still makes me chuckle and I only mean to be facetious.
I did a D150 3.7l slant six build for a fella once and I put a blower from a 3.8L gtp on it. It was a lot of fun.
I love turbo 6's. My favorite is the Buick Grand National V6. My other favorite is the GMC Syclone V6. Those engines are beasts!
Do love my American stuff but fav turbo 6 has to be the 2jZ worked on a few
Back in the 60's when pulp wood trucks went into the woods and came out with an oversized load of pulp wood. Most of the trucks I was familiar with were Chevy's, and they had 292 engines. Not so much power but lots of torque and gearing to pull the heavy loads out of the woods. These engines were also used a lot in dirt track racing. I have a 1994 Silverado that I have been working on for some time as a project. I would love to have an engine like this one under the hood of my truck. That would certainly get some attention at the next car show.
You mean the 283? 292 is ford. I have a 283 in my s10. Runs good. 10.7 at 154mph in the qt. Gotta get a transmission in it soon.
@@v8sserieschevy917 292 6 cylinder truck engine. Your exaggerating about your s10. I don't believe you.
@@v8sserieschevy917 yeah no...
@@v8sserieschevy917 ford did make an engine with a 292 cu. in displacement but that was their Y-Block V8 engine, nothing like the 292 straight 6 produced by GM. They're not even the same configuration of cylinders.
Lot of money in this build. They never state what the overbore is. .030-OVER, .040-OVER, .060-OVER? Any bigger and you get waterjacket issues. 292 L6 @ .030-over is 296 cubic inches... Big 292 fan. I bought a '68 Chevy C /10 Stepside with a 292 in 1973, I was 23. Now I'm 71 and I've rebuilt two 292s. Truck's still my daily driver. First build project in '77 lasted 25 years and got 250,000 miles out of it Rebuilt the original block in 2005 and it's still running good. L6 292 @.030-over, Badger pistons, Crane 260H cam, 1.84 intake, 1.5 exhaust valves, Offy intake, Edelbrock 1404 4v carb [500 CFM], Clifford headers, GM HEI, SM465 4-Speed, 12-bolt 3.73 posi rear, It's a sleeper. Chassis rolled thru 400,000 last summer.
I had thought of a Turbo build, with Lump Ports and Roller Rockers like this TV Eye Candy, but I'm not working right now, so it's just a dream. It would replace the burnt-out 454 BBC in my '67 K/10 Suburban Three-Door.
the banter is so natural.
seriously though, cool project.
You can really tell these guys have been buddies forever lol
I think we would all love to see a Ford 4.9 inline 6 video soon.
About 45 years ago I was a mechanic, I worked part time at a transmission shop, the boss was about 5' 5" tall he weighed about 200 lbs, solid muscle, I was getting ready to install a Ford C-6 in a Mustang, as I was setting the trans jack up, he picks up the transmission and tells me get the housing bolts, he lifts the trans up, holds it with ONE hand I give him the bolts and with the other hand puts in the housing bolts !!! About 90 seconds !!!, then he said finish it up. Wow and he did that all the time. No trans jack for him. 😆😆 Great Video thanks William Orange county, ca.
That's awesome I'm a hardcore oldschool Ford fan I would love to see a Big 300In6 built
There is an older episode of engine power with a 300 build. Mild though, not a boosted build. It should be on here somewhere. I found it when looking about my 93 f150.
Dude search 300 Ford turbo on here.
They put out some wicked torque , like 425-450 foot pounds usually ....
Hp is fair at low 200 range but that torque hit is like a diesel.
I have to say this is a nice build. Going against the norm on all levels. Respect.
12:25 Am I the only one who notices him explaining the clutch fork system completely backwards? The clutch fork presses on the pressure plate fingers RELEASING the friction on the flywheel. AS in disengaging the clutch.
I noticed that too. He gets a bit "deer in the headlights" sometimes and panics during his explanations.
@@andoletube I just thought he was clueless and stuck to the script that was poorly written by someone who doesn't know how things work
I cannot believe a “Lorem Ipsum” text managed to make its way into a show with a budget this high
2:01
They must've caught it, 2:01 just has the normal text now
The packaging of this engine and the trucks big engine bay makes this the perfect all around play toy.
One thing we don't need to watch is you to Cappen on each other.
Thats cool, im glad to see a build with a unique engine mod, Sick of watching everyone just dropping in a crate LS motor, anyone can do that, its become generic.
I feel the same way and that's why I'm building a Plymouth arrow and putting a Shelby Z from a Daytona matched to a 5 speed. It's rear wheel drive so we had to have an adaptor kit fabbed up for it. Thank god for friends with a race shop😀
One of my favorite builds on at channel in a long time. Great work, can't wait to see it running.
Following this build from South Australia. We're no strangers to inline sixes here, the 'barra' conversion is becoming a popular upgrade to older vehicles. I've retained my ozzy built Ford alloy head, xflow six in my dent side f00 and it does the job. Anyhow thanks for the inspiring vid👍
Gents, Inter coolers do not increase oxygen, they only cool the intake air and make it more dense so more charge can fit in. More air = higher volume efficiency.
One of these days we're going to catch foghorn Leghorn off guard and get his real voice.
Anybody feel like the Louisiana draw to old boys voice is fake and forced and occasionally disappears
Was just thinking about that. I swear it’s all a act
Or , I'm wondering if he's from there and now transplanted elsewhere and losing it , but losing it the way a boys voice cracks when he hits puberty 🤔🤣
He's forcing it. I'm from south Louisiana and we have accents, but we don't put emphasis on it like that guy.
Med Tec67
I thought it was an ignant accent.
He is hard to listen to. He tries too hard to roll through the entire gamete of southern accents every sentence...he fails hard at every one of them
could show us a 300 i6 exactly like you did this 292, the world deserve it!
Good job pulling the transmission on with bolt's thanks for showing me what not to do
This has to be one of the best projects from these two...
K5 would be nice with a doubler on the t-case, it would make an insane crawler!

I laughed at the "from the craft store". Wouldn't be the first time that Cheerios made do with the plastic bag when the box was drafted for design work.
Things got some nice torque
The 6cyl. Chevy engines are are always overlooked
Nothing like the youtube comment section for a cold dose of truth to content creators. Gotta love it.
An easier way to line up the transmission is to use two pieces of all thread about a foot long screwed into the top holes. lift it up on the all thread, slide it in, install the bottom bolts then the top bolts .
this mother pumper is a torque monster
@12:26 no the throwout bearing does not push against the clutch fingers to apply pressure to the clutch disk, it releases pressure!
That's what you get when you hire guys for a show that don't actually know what they are doing...they just read the script no matter what it says and don't question it...
Dude, drop the accent. Good builds. Apparently learned how to "southern" in home ec, too.
Yeah, I'd rather have the generic Midwestern accent they all have than to hear them butcher a TN accent .
He always gives it just a bit too much. Like I start to get used it, until he drops an over the top "no mo"
First World problem.
Yeah he can't decide when to drop "r's" and when to pronounce them.....he isn't consistant its like he is trying hard to roll every southern dialect into every sentence.......😔
@@joshwilberger6735 Austin Lafort is from Cut Off, Louisiana its not a TN accent its a Cajun accent
I'm determined to biuld my tall deck 292 in my 66 c60 like this. Itll be interesting with the sm420 and 2 speed rear end. Engine hangs around 2500 in the L to H shift. Be putting that blow off valve to work lol.
Should have put a Barra in it
Will you do a 300 inline 6 turbo build
Didn't realize this was new out today... guess I have to wait for the driving video...
Hey I bolted a 250 in line 6 to 266 cu in running 327 12/1 pistons I built the head Called cliferd far a cam and they said they would not sell me one but we got one out of Memphis. Running dirt track we worn ever race but two 1 for flat tire and one because we went drivers girls pageant. Love your show😄
I like the physics lesson.
Yes. A 6 cylinder is popular in modern cars where driveability and efficiency is key. No one wants one in a weekend toy because said issues aren't that big. And I wonder if those lights are DOT approved. Since most people like to put stuff like that on and blind other motorists.
I swear new cars with auto dim just suck and still blind everyone , and then the low beams are still adjusted too high and still blind the crap out of you.
The inherent problem with the blue tint to the newer lighting systems is , it takes longer for your eyes to adjust back to darkness.
Blue is bad , red is better.
Haha no don't go get red headlights 🤣
Haha what I mean is different colors of the spectrum affect your reaction back to dark(your night vision) and blue is actually one of the worst for that.
It's all on Google.
@@MrTheHillfolk the new LED lights are slightly more annoying than the HID lights in my Silverado.
Get that thing to the track already! Would love to see some 1/4 mile times!
Out of all of the stuff you guys have on set, you don't have a drive shaft yoke laying around instead of vice grips?
Well. They do build big blocks from parts hanging around you would assume so.
292... If i recall reading it was available for about 5 to 7 years. Bigger bore and longer stroke than the regular 250 found in most vehicles. My gandpa took out a 282 v8 double barrel and installed one of these in a 1964 chev 10. Ten yeas later it had lost between 13 to 15 percent on its power. Dad sold as he was not going to do any body met work on it. Miss that truck. I used to drive it a lot.
I drive a 66 C10 on the daily and I work it pretty hard. I called Tremec and asked them a few questions about their transmissions. Despite their high performance ratings, they ain't meant for pulling trailers. So I'm still stuck with 3.08 gears and a Turbo 350 for now. I was a little let down that a 3000 dollar transmission can't survive a trailer.
That's insane! Even monster transmissions sells a beefy transmission that will hold massive amounts of torque that costs half that.
I know right? I really only have two choices for my combo. Either a 4 speed wide ratio Muncie with 308 gears or rebuilding my 200r4 and running 390 gears. I’ll probably go with the auto since it’s has better ratios. And I already have a full stockpile of grand national internals.
You could always do an NV4500 swap, Overdrive, low gear, good towing trans
I was on the way out to work on my own truck but now it's gonna have to wait.lol
When are you guys gonna build a Ford 300 inline 6?
The problem is, they have yet to find one needing rebuilt. 😆
Who was the drag racer in the 70's who cut up BOSS heads, brazed them back together, and bolted them to a 300-6 block?
@@VinnyMartello idk my dad blew one up because he left the radiator cap on too loose and on the highway the temperature gauge maxed out and the engine seized
I had a Ford 300 6. Worst engine I have ever owned. Had a 120,000 miles on it. Barely had any oil pressure. Sounded like a diesel on start up. I drove it about a month and shot a rod through the side of the block. Luckily I had a friend who had just rebuilt another 300 out of a old farm truck. The truck body I had was 10x better shape than the one he pulled his 300 out of. So I sold him the body and made my money back. He actually drove that truck for 8 years.
@@jaredharbin5968 bullshit. do basic maintenance on the truck and it will run great.
Well why didn't they use a trans jack
Hope it isn't too long. Really enjoyed this build
This things awesome love the engine build it’s not jus some lsx making 600+ hp lol
It's the 80's all over again with turbos popping up everywhere. I'm building a Plymouth arrow but I decided to adapt a Shelby Z motor from a Daytona to have 4 banger Honda killer pick up
I wuld almost think that turbo is too big for the engine, it's on full boost @ little less than 3500 on a dyno, so on the road it's probably spools from 3500. So you're rew range is from 3500 to 4500 quite a narrow power band for the amount of boost your making.
You might get away with putting in a smaller turbo that comes oon @ 2000 rpm and don't loose much or any on top of the curve. It's a low rew engine, like a diesel.
Are those guys from POWERNATION series also the mechanics who actually build they're projects?
Just wondering because they always looks so clean for a mechanic.
I just hope they will post the Episode 7 showing the truck done and making some bornouts like they said on the video! I just been hoping for that... guys please post that last episode!!
Barnet high Performance in Michigan builds some awesome ford 300in6 and for more $$$ aftermarket crank,rods for the 300
It would have been nicer if Project Low n Slow had been given a new paint job in the original colors to make it ready for the next car show!
Thank you...no LS, belly-button motor for a change. Love straight 6's except for sound.....I see you put on Clifford Engineering and Offenhauser stuff....very good components. Anybody else sick of the damn "patina" paint-jobs? Maybe I'm the only one in the world that hates 'em. That's 'cause I drove a boatload of natural, worn-out paint jobs.......maybe I'm just pissing and moaning, I dunno......
To me, patina screams sandpaper and paint time!
Tired of the patina look. Was tired of it 10 years ago. Unless it's an old drag car with vintage lettering or something... PAINT IT!!!
If I don't want to go to a craft store to get that stuff he said to make templates out of and beer box is made of the same stuff!! LoL 😆

Can't wait to see this done. Plenty of power
Here we are waiting to see it work that c10
I know what he meant but the throw-out bearing pushing against the pressure plate diaphragm/fingers disconnects the clutch. Don't want to knit pick but some viewers might not know.
Lol: it’s “nit” pick, not “knit” pick.
Such a awesome engine
Truck tech: has million dollar plus shop
Hosts: picks up and puts in transmission by hand
I usually draw my bracket design on a piece of paper with measurements and then go straight to metal fabrication. No patterns necessary if you can accurately measure and visualize in 3D.
Fm a FORD guy, now that's a CHEVY truck 😁
beautiful my friend
You hit on something. The big old V8s are gas hogs and a dime a dozen. This truck-rod runs a turbo straight six and earns a bunch of points for originality. Good job!
8:24 you can see the air getting sucked into the intake if you watch closely
15:49 NEVER EVER EVER install a manual transmission by forcing it using the bolts
that was cringe
Just a Thought why no turn the crank on the engine instead the vice grips on the output shaft?
500ft tq is just awesome!!!
Inline 6s are under rated.
Would love to see you guys build a cat eye halfton. Yall could really make it something!
Very ingenious and workaday str8 6 done exceptional. Nice truck
Homies voice sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles and they keep trying to fall out
If you're expecting good mileage out of a 292 inline, you've got another thing coming. Should have built a 250 Chevy if you wanted fuel economy
Your comment really doesn't make any sense. For lots of reasons. What's your particular supposition?
I have a 250. Mileage is pretty much not gonna happen. Might as well get the power.
@@bigboreracing356 18:07 you don't listen well I guess
@@wymple09 I get 27 mpg with mine in my '63 c10. You just need to know how to tune them
@@causeimbatmaaan A long stroke engine like a 292 isn't very efficient. Great for moving a dump truck around but that's about it. 30 years of experience as an engine builder, machinist, auto tech, restorer and classic Chevy lover speaking.
That is the wrong flywheel for that motor. 292s run 1/2" bolts and 3 dowel pins that are line reamed. The flywheel will be loose after the first drive. Ask me how I know 🙃
(scott) GM was all over the map on the 292 cranks for a while, 63 only were steel cranks with one dowel pin, then they changed to cast iron (cheaper) and two dowel pins and a little later, I think in the 70's they changed to 3 dowel pins. I remember some would try to remove two of the pins and use the early flywheel, and ran into problems with the flywheel bolts not staying tight. During the 66 model year they switched to the 1/2 inch bolts that you mentioned also. I guess they probably had some harmonics going on with the 4 and 1/8 inch stroke and were throwing a lot of things at it. All said it was and still is a great engine. Too bad put it out to pasture instead of adapting FI as ford did with the 300, also a great engine. But we remember the choked down smog 292 making just a little over a 100 hp, while the 300 was happy with the FI.
A vise-grip to turn the trans? C'mon man! All the cool stuff in the shop and you don't have an old trans yoke to slip on the output shaft? That's a nice rig
Ya they have the best jobs I can only dream about having a good job like that
Surprised that didn't use forged pistons for boosted application.
haha dang that straight six has one of them Inner coolers
I feel like these two guys aren't really a big fan of each other. Lol ( off the set)
Does homeboys accent sound a little exaggerated to anyone else?
it's work do you like the people you work with?
It's like he goes from City to Aussie to southern drawl, to exaggeration. Lol
@@darkoneoutdoors1237 its television with scripts and actors. I see the point you're making. I just find it humorous that it shows through. Passive aggression tickles my funny bone lol
@@NN1Ckl. I agree. I heard the full range of horribly imitated southern dialects as well as a couple new york pronunciations. Dude couldn't decide when he needed to drop "R"sounds off the end of words or when to pronounce them. One sentence he would pronounce the r at the end of a word, then the next sentence would chop it off on the same word. It was like a complete trainwreck to listen to. Very distracting. Just be yourself dude.
Sounds Cajun to me
Lorem Ipsum. :)
Love this Episode, Not so more the Cheesy Banter! LOL
Instead of fake patina how about an enamel paint job.
Not true on thrust bearing clearance, you want the bearing to run constantly on pressure plate with minimum pressure as if the bearing is stationary every time you engage the clutch it will wear the fingers trying to bring the bearing to the same speed every time, GM did this when they went to pull type set up, if you have a push type then use a small spring to hold fork/ bearing to constantly run on fingers and still have slight freely then you won't wear grooves in fingers
Fel-Pro gasket boxes for mock up.
With all the head work and custom cam, why did you use stock and not forged rods and pistons on a turbo build?
Pretty sure the stock rods are forged. Hyper pistons aren't all that bad. Motor has to stay under 5500 tho
Probably because they would have to be custom made and expensive. Time restrictions for producing the video. The 292 has a long stroke that will limit the rpms. The stock rods are most likely sufficient for this build.
Never mind the cost of the truck in today's dollars, what is the total bill going to be with all this fancy stuff they added on?????
Guess nobody noticed that the intercooler pipes from the turbo were loose during the dyno pull. That engine won't last without proper tuning and ensuring it won't be too lean which will happen if all leaks are sealed after the dyno run. As for the rib jabs between the guys the actors are trying to imitate the jabs that take place between lots of car guys. Meant for fun not to be taken seriously.
that's awesome a lot of HP out of a staight six great job
Hey guys, its those little things that are kinda boring, that no one want to film that I NEED TO SEE!
Great build
Really like the truck. Absolutely hate the steering wheel. This build really demands an ornate stocker from the same period.
And the wheel wheels too.
Change all 5 for something a little less big and blingy
Oops , and fog a little black paint on that intercooler core, too.
@@MrTheHillfolk , maybe keep the "big", but make 'em stock-looking steel with dog dishes.
When are you guys going to show the C-10 doing smoky burnouts!!??
Hunert fitty thousans
Where did they get this guy?
