He is a real hotroder, in the beginning of hotroding, every rod was unique, not a carbon copy from a dealership! I love it! More people like him will keep the tradition alive, hope to see his car in person someday, keep the shinny side up.
I remember reading about this car in a magazine back around 1990 or so, maybe a little later, but I ran into my dad's room with the article spread, biggest grin on my face. I was trying to get him to keep a six in his, but he wanted a dern big block. Years later, I inherited his 70 C/10 that we put a 230 in place of the 307 one weekend to get it ready for the road the following Monday. I told him that this truck will have a six as long as I own it. What he doesn't know is that if i ever get my hands on his '37, I'm putting a six back in it as well. I don't hate the big block, just have no use for one. Anyway, I almost broke my phone when your video hit my algorithm. Could NOT believe it's that same tan '37 I fell in love with half my life ago! Still looking amazing, STILL hurting feelings with a six. You just reminded me that there's a sweet 292 sitting between the trails of my '54. Gonna need a few more of these.
Totally awesome! I'm building a 292 with Ryan Falconer V-12 head, 6-71 and nitrous. Billet crank, billet solid roller cam and steel billet rods. 5 stage dry sump. Electromotive direct fire EMS. Going in my 53 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup for drag and drive. I hope to see you at the track. Thank you for your time.
Nice! Those Falconer heads are neat! I remember my dad talking about those some 20 years ago. Whats your HP goal with that set up? (pre and post nitrous)? Where is your billet crank from? We have always used the forge '63 crank, but recently have pulled the trigger on a custom billet crank. (should be here in a few weeks now!).
@@markstirnemann8831 Crower made my crank. I'm building for 1300 hp. My goal is 1000 hp with a 200ish nitrous shot. I know 3 guys running 1000 hp 292's with no nitrous. Two with turbo and one with blower. One of the turbo guys slightly destroked his 292. The blower guy has 3 full seasons on his and has never opened it up. It's still going strong.
@@lazyhoundracing9621 Yeah, the 292 scene is going strong for sure and there are a few of us in the 1,000+ range. The Staff Bros in TX are the ones I believe you are talking about with the destroked 292. Leo Santucci has written a few book and pulled knowledge from his own racing plus from some of us for the book's content. I'm sure you are aware of those books.
@@markstirnemann8831 Yes on the Staff brothers. One of them once told me to buy a 540 big block and be done with it, LOL. I don't know if you have spoken to Leo lately but he got hit pretty hard with a hurricane last year. I am by no means on their or your level of knowledge.
This is so cool. I’d love to build something like that one day. Right now I have a 292 I’m building with a stock bottom end with a lump ported cylinder head. About all I can afford at the moment.
Omg that is the best sound Chevy tower of power I’ve heard in my life my 292 had Langdon split exhaust and offy intake and 8” dual glass packs and made a majestic sound this is just something else sir well done
Love it! Always had a bit of a thing for inline 6s. It's both a feat of engineering (fitting all that under the hood of a '37) and a work of art at the same time!
Here in Brazil we got, with the Chevrolet Opala and his 4100 cc engine inline 6 over 2000 horsepower and something like High-6s on the 1/4 mile. In this category, all cars run with Stock block/heads, H-partern, full build interior (with a roll cage, of course), no weight reduction: the cars has functional headlights and taillights, chrome bumpers, standart glasses... It worth to take a look. Even Daddy Dave and Murder Nova drove some of these cars in Velopark at late-2019/early-2020
MAX Respect to this guy, the whole thing is a work of art, and I love the old big 6's. This is real hot rodding, not just spending tons of money on aftermarket components...
Beautiful car, and that fabrication work is outstanding. I always thought building a '70 Camaro with an inline six w/ turbo would be awesome.... Maybe not as awesome as this, but the idea still sounds impressive, and what this car does makes it also sound very viable and lethal on the street.
My grandfather has a 1938 Chevy with the 292. He had it bored out to 300 when he had the engine overhauled. I'll have to show him this. He'll get a kick out of this!
I remember this car racing at the Goodguys Rod & Custom show at Indianapolis back in the late 90's. He swept the 1/8th mile street rod class. I have pictures of this car. A turbo in-line 6 cylinder with a Powerglide was an anomaly back then. Glad to see it back on the track. I hope to see it again soon. 😁👍
Wow pure genius! This is real hod rodding and imagine how many perfectly good old stove bolt Chevy's are laying around waiting for today's technology to be applied to them. 👍
I saw this run once in the late 90s at Mid-America raceway, blew me away back then being a turbo straight six! Shame so many small tracks have closed down. Cool to see it's still out there laying smack-downs! 🤘
That's one mean honkin' stovebolt you've got there! My dad drag raced a '55 Chevy with the six in it in front of a stock three speed from the late '50s up through the early '70s. That thing was way faster than NHRA gave it credit for. One time, while running eliminator, it broke out of the A stock class allowance, while running Y stock! 😂😂😂
Hi Mark, we bought some flathead parts from your dad, I guess about two years ago. We are finally starting to use some of the parts. The parts were pretty cool, but meeting your dad was the highlight of the trip!
Thanks! I couldn't be more proud of him and his drive to never give up! I watched your unboxing videos of the parts. I wish I could have used them, but I'm glad you are!
I love it! Thanks for the kind words. It certainly is the same car. It's been running for 35 years and that darn boost knob keeps turning itself up!! In the mid 90's, it was making about 600-700 hp with about 22 lbs. Which was good for low 10's @ 128. Now we are doing 128 in half the distance! :) And yes, still 100% original Chevy Steel. We easily could have put fuel injection and carbon panels, but then it wouldn't be the original car to it's hot rodding roots. The surprising people and hurting V8 feelings is what keeps us going!!
@@markstirnemann8831 35yrs. I knew it was somewhere around that. I think it was Hot Rod who ran the article that made me a believer that sixes not only sound better... You found the formula long ago! I have so much respect for you and everybody in your circle! In my mind, you are the very definition of rodding!
You have demonstrated , beyond any doubt, that in - line 6 engine is superior to v-8 . It’s lighter, and high torquer, less moving parts, that means it last much longer .
Very cool unique build! Am curious why you are running blow through carbs vs EFI? Also, are you using a good anti roll bar in the back? Looks like a lot of rear end twist on the launch. Edit: I read your response to another poster about the twisting and plans to add an anti roll bar. BTW, Tin Soldiers Race Cars makes an awesome universal anti roll bar.
Just got a c30 with a 292 in it I’m sure. What all did you do to yours? From internals to externals. No fabricator so I couldn’t do so good with heads and all that would love the help tho.
He is a real hotroder, in the beginning of hotroding, every rod was unique, not a carbon copy from a dealership! I love it! More people like him will keep the tradition alive, hope to see his car in person someday, keep the shinny side up.
The exhaust and intake systems are a work of art. A lot of heart went into your build .
That's a beautiful car that just happens to run real good too. Nice to see someone using something besides an ls or other v8 Hope to see more videos.
Very cool.
This car was featured in HOT ROD magazine in 2001.
Good to see it 's still running and better than ever!

292s are a hell of a good engine. The sky's pretty much the limit with them. I ran against one on an oval and he won quite often against V8s.

We ran a stock head for ages! You can easily run low 10's with the lump port version and a 76mm turbo...
And when I say you 'can', I mean you SHOULD!
What's all done to the bottom end?
seen that car in person at the road kill zip tie drags car was bad ass the guy who owns it was as nice as could be complete respect!
Omg that is the best sound Chevy tower of power I’ve heard in my life my 292 had Langdon split exhaust and offy intake and 8” dual glass packs and made a majestic sound this is just something else sir well done
Love it! Always had a bit of a thing for inline 6s. It's both a feat of engineering (fitting all that under the hood of a '37) and a work of art at the same time!
Run's a lot faster than the 37 Chevy coupe I had . Such a beautiful coupe , Sir . Love the 292 6-cylinder .
The inline 6 is a awesome motor.Why they stop making it...😎💯✌
Love it!! 292 turbo. Amazing setup. Good old inline six. The tower of power.
Six in a Row Will Go!
That's a real beast of an engine
Thanks! It's been a fun challenge!
Now that’s a great car, great engine, great engineering, beautiful package. I am a great fan of the in-line 6 cylinders of this country.
Now that’s what I call a hot rod
Thanks for sharing that beautiful car and that power plant!!!
That's a beautiful car. You can get a lot of low end torque out of a straight 6. Great job.

Sounds incredible
I’m living it for it’s unique horsepower and parts
Man, this thing is nuts! I've never seen a 292 rev that hard and not shell half the rods out the side (never mind under boost)!!!😮😄👍👍
That's an awesome Machine.
Excellence in action !
1:40 THATS the CAD i know and love!
Man, I remember this car from a magazine feature way back! This car never lost my brain. Glad to see you're still racing it.
The whole car is so tasteful, great to see innovative lateral thinking & problem solving!👌
Good Job Mark 👏
Inline is a beast !

impressive...and beautiful craftsmanship

That could almost be a factory performance option, if such a thing existed in 1937.
Very impressive six and a nice car to boot deserves a sub. Great work
Friggin sweet! Way to go on pumping up that old 292 6 cylinder!!! 🇺🇸👍🤠👍
This gives me hope for my single turbo 250 build. Very slow progress these days.
Great car, great setup. Well done.
That thing is sick man looks great
Amazing Vehicle and an online!!!! So Very Kewl! Beautiful car, Great Runner! Impressive! Thanks
Unbelievable I think 37's look better than a willys
Not your average SBC or LS something even cooler. Well done 👍
Just love the car the fabrication the engineering . top shelf ! good luck !
Bad ass I have been wanting to do something like this for years

Takes me right to the Pull Track and in line diesels puttin the hurt on the dirt. Gorgeous Car and some excellent engine building!
Absolutely Awesome, great job!!!
Wow pure genius! This is real hod rodding and imagine how many perfectly good old stove bolt Chevy's are laying around waiting for today's technology to be applied to them. 👍
I love the color of this car. Very quick too.
Sir, you did a fine job on the entire build.
Very impressive and I enjoyed watching!!!
Very cool to see this video.
I saw you run a time or two at M.A.R.’s Nostalgia Drags.
Wow work of art …good luck 😊

That is one violent hunk of metal! Awesome
Definitely an amazing machine.
Cannot beat the ruggedness of the inline.
True craftsman… well done!
Nice car! I like the overall combo of the car, color, wheels and that odd ball motor. A+ from me.
That s amazing that thing stays together WOW!!!
Why? It’s obviously built right

Very impressive build
I'm remenber this car in street rodder mag in the 90s
That 1936 Chevy is badass the dino says it makes more torque than horsepower the 292 was also a dump truck motor a lot of torque 👍👍🚩
Still all-steel, right? I was sitting here literally crying because finding you (and my favorite '37) is like catching up with a long lost friend.
I love it!
Thanks for the kind words. It certainly is the same car. It's been running for 35 years and that darn boost knob keeps turning itself up!!

Wicked build!
Wow! That is a nice car!
That's one sweet ride !
Nice car
Very impressive!
Beast! That’s legit fast!
This is one badass deal. I've wanted to do this myself. X👍🤘
This is higher end. Don't think I could do this good but maybe close.
My dream car... 69 Barracuda
600 hp 700 tq slant 6
Every day driver
Watching from Oak Cliff, TX 👍🏽
Holy Hell that is soo FRIGGIN BAD AZZ
What an AWESOME car!
Outstanding ! If I could figure out how to tune Blow Through Carburetors I would build a Turbo Engine for my Studebaker.
Impressive!
Beautiful
I had a 292 six in my 68 camro built. It was fast had 150 shot of nos on it😊😊
Very Nice Mark. Where in Missouri are you?
OUTSTANDING. 👍❤🙀🦅
American ingenuity
That car is flockin rad
impressive
Awesome
very cool I've always wondered what a 292 could do with speed parts
Great car,
Very nice.
