The Ramp Truck Gets a Blower! Burnouts for Days! Finnegan's Garage Ep.107
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- It all began with a burnout and a dangling taillight. Back in Episode 95 we tried to do burnouts in a recent acquisition, this 1969 Chevy C50 ramp truck. It didn't go well. The truck ran horribly and wouldn't spin even one of the back tires unless we drove backwards at 10 mph and then slammed the Turbo 400 transmission into Reverse! While we don't recommend this sort of behavior, it was effective; the Ramp Truck smoked one rear tire right down to the cords. While awesome, it wasn't inspiring performance. We needed more power and we needed to fix that busted taillight. What was our solution? Installing a Weiand 6-71 blower and dual Holley 750cfm "double pumper" carbs atop the 454!
Is our engine built for boost? Nope. Are our brakes, suspension or chassis up to the task of harnessing the newfound power? No way! We did it anyway and now thanks to a lot of hours in the garage and some custom fabrication and wiring we now have a reliable, functional and badass looking hot rod hauler that smokes tires with ease.
In this video not only will you see how we fit the massive supercharger under the stub nose hood of Chevy's medium-duty truck, but we'll also give you tips on fabricating, ignition systems, and how to get your nasty chassis clean with a brand-new product from CRC Industries.

“Here comes security... ahh I’m ducking down” is real inner 12year old goodness.
Ladies and gents, Mr. Mike Finnegan 2020...
My favorite burnout was when I was a kid my father and I took his dump truck up to the dealership to get a diesel. The dump we were in was a Ford with I believe was a 460 4spd the tach went to 4 grand I'm like dad see if you can get the dual wheels to spin. They spun so Efn hard he brought it to redline come off the clutch the truck did NOT move the ass end started to drift sideways and quickly smoked the street out. I've had some badass cars since then but my best memory was me and the old man burning the dual wheels it always makes me smile thinking bout that day...
I had a similar experience riding with my grandfather in his 57 ford mainline ute. I was probably only 6 or 7 at the time but can remember him looking over at me and saying "watch the back wheels race the front ones son" and he proceded to go full dukes of hazzard down the dirt back roads. Flippin awesome!.
Ahhhh. Nothing like a father and son bonding while melting rubber at high rpms!
@@MrBikedrummer eh i dont quite understand, considering these days really its child endangerment, which means you could have your children taken away.
@@danking5382 i bet your are a blast at parties
@@danking5382 I'll assume you are joking. If not, I can't imagine how you found this page, and couldn't have had a worse read on your audience.
Best sentence ever. “What began as a simple supercharger install to fix a tail light”
...and ends the video saying they never got around to fixing the taillight.

LETS GO BRANDON BURNOUTS Baby!!!!!
1600 Pennsylvania ave AND LIGHT EM UP !!!
Make that baby, that candy AZZ Biden smite EM BURN EM DOWN swell..
RAMP TRUCKS ON FIRE BABY !!!!!!!!
Light EM up man
LIGHT EM UP MAN !!!!!!!!!
Burnin down the house
"You just don't want to aim this at plastic, rubber, or painted surfaces..." 30 seconds later, drenches the the UCA bushings with it. 🤣
...and brake hoses. But who needs those anyway?
Ya beat me to it!
Those bushings probably need to be replaced anyway LOL.
That security guards probably saying there's nobody else down here but that big old truck and it couldn't have made all that smoke
Lol I bet that security guard was hired because they keep going up there to do burnouts
If they'd of stuck around, they could hear blower "Whine" as the security guard whines about having to be the one who has to scrub the black marks off of the street.
If that's the field I think it is nobody cares lol unless they are playing games. Is that over at lake point and perfect game complex
@@jeremyolds4661 I do believe you are correct. In fact, I think you can even see the rubber from their previous outing via google satellite view.
I'm sure they took one look at the tire smoke and went "*sigh" It's Finnegan again. I guess we have to look like we care."
Thank you Finnegan for keeping this on UA-cam and also doing awesome burnouts for your fans. We truly appreciate all you do. Keep it up.
Hilarious!!! My kids and I were driving by the sports park while this was happening I guess. My son says "Dad, the trees are on fire!"
I was losing it when security was coming up, huge burnout cloud behind you, and you wave.
When cutting a square hole in anything that vibrates , . . . . Radius the corners
Does a massive burnie in an extremely recognizable ramp truck, with lots of videos of it on the internet...
Finnegan: "I better duck down 3 inches behind this sea of glass.
Gotta love it.
I love how you guys will do carberated stuff. The UA-cam car guys act like its ancient technology when they see it. Hell yeah to the old school car guys
Bruce Pietri That's how a lot of us grew up. Fuel injection for us was something gassers used.
Maybe the key here is the MSD.
The tail light is out on my Voyager, do you think I should fix it with a Crate Hemi and RWD conversion?
:D
Yes
Please do this
It's the only way.
@Mike Anderson agreed
Well,... it's AWD already,.... hard part is same as always, affording the motor and trans. :)
Here in Denmark we use copper brakelines, when the factory steel lines rust and breaks. Then its only the rubber parts you need to think on.
I don’t even think you can buy steel brake lines in any store in Scandinavia? I would never install steel break line. My Renault r4 came with it standard, never have I change the brake line but the rubber hose, it’s 1974...
Theyre cunifer here which is a copper nickel alloy and really good for the job and better than steel lines. Copper itself is not safe if they meant pure copper lines.The US has NiCopp and other brands which is the same material but a different brand name.
In the northern US and Canada, it is common to find copper brake lines as well, for the same reason. I can't remember where that truck came from, but it's doubtful that Chevy used factory copper lines.
It's so cheap now, I do all replacements in stainless. Once you get good a bending it's not bad.
I knew they weren't gonna fix the taillight. Rock on.
Stay safe.
♥️✌️😎♥️
Waving at the security guards was the best, Mike sat up straight & was innocent!
Regular everyday person: tow truck made to tow vehicles & not to do burnouts.
Finigan: super charger go whoosh & we leave a 1/8 of a inch of rubber on the ground will makeing a smoke signal able to be seen a mile away.
This is why I love your channel. Keep up the good work & don't forget to have fun.
Nice work guys. I always appreciate it when you take the time to do it right, well sort of...
I mean painting firewall and inner fenders etc. Not just roadkilling it.
Somewhere there's an old racer watching this ....then going out in garage to grab the old blower intake out of his stack of racing parts from waaayy back..and hopefully sending it out to Finnegan
That firewall came out incredible! That ignition setup is gorgeous! Also "Mexico" is looking very green this time of year!
I did the exact same firewall repair (whole new sheet of steel) on a '37 Ford pickup build. I don't know what it is about old trucks, but people love, just LOVE drilling holes in them. Big holes, little holes, medium holes, just holes everywhere.
And I literally just fixed the tail light on my tow rig, like with a bulb not a blower. Do my 454 next!
‘The tail light still doesn’t work’ How awesome!
I appreciate that I'm not the only grown ass adult here that hasn't actually grown up yet and still goes out to do silly shenanigan shit. Great work, guys.
Yes I also want to think you for your channel staying on UA-cam. One of the few channels worth watching and has great info
The copper brake lines are popular here in rust belt because it minimizes the chances of it rusting out again lol
Should be mandated for OEM and replacment copper nickel has 80% of the burst strength and 3x the life.
15:15 When you almost fall over cause your master cylinder steps aside... 😅
His work is incredibly clean it is like it's completely new night and day good job.
Extremely underrated channel. On a mainstream "syndicated" car show this would have been drawn out over many episodes and many months. Great work.
"The tail light's still out, but now we can do burnouts."
This is fine.
The smoke screen hides the broken tail light.
Why would you need taillights with all that smoke??
So many memories. ..."here comes security act natural" lolololololololol
I absolute love it Finn. It would be the most badass ramp truck ever if it was flat black, red wheels, white walls. Imagine how rad that would look oh my god.
That clip with Newbern bouncing around in that truck will never get old lmfao
9:53 hello random lock washer.....
And the tail light still doesn't work. ..love it!! Great episode guys. I cant wait till the square body ramp truck gets outta the body shop! This ramp is cool but that ones awesome!
I love it when on the first start outside @ 23:11 and just before the burnout @ 27:51 & 28:10, the subtitles said that music was playing! 🤣🤣🤣 Couldn't agree more! 😁😁😁
Supercharger is always known to be the best replacement for a tail light out 👍👍👍
This is my favorite ramp truck even before the blower. It just looks awesome. But please do something else for a scoop, that thing looks horrible.
Hey Mike, your "copper" brake lines are probably made out of CuNiFe and would possibly last the whole vehicle life, because they wont rust like normal steel lines. If it is like that they are also pressure rated for the pressure in brake systems. Greetings from Germany, stay safe.
@@michieff it was what we always used here in england because of how wet our country is lol
@themetal I think you are wrong, because these are not normal copper lines as you assumed. They are certified copper nickel ferrous aloy brake lines and expensive. Three to four times the price of normal steel brake lines . They won't corrode and they have the nice copper look!
@themetal Ok, then I would be afraid too. Greetings from Germany
@themetal We have the TÜV or DEKRA that your car has to go to every to years and if you have changed even small things like mufflers or other tire sizes you have to get an aproval on that . Wheels must have a ABE formular from the manufacturer in witch is documentet that the wheel is safe for road use. For this they had to destroy one in a test to see if the stress limit and strengh is high enough. The ABE number is stamped into the wheel for identifikation. In Germany it is much more difficult to build or tune a car because evrything has to be aproved and special things get additionally printed in the vehicle registration that has to be in your car at every time for say "police inspection". This is amongst other things because if your car can run 350 miles per hour, you can do this on the Autobahn and that could be extremely dangerous if your car is not build the right way to handle it.
@themetal Yes, but i would like it a little more on the easy side because I am a car nut and would really like to hot rod my 70 charger and my 73 duster 383. Your leader seams to be an unscrupulous ash.....e and it it looks like he is not the brightest candle on the cake ;-). But beware, in Germany is not everything good that is looking good from outside too! So, best of luck to You and your people and stay safe too because Corona will strike again even harder as before.
Nice Engine Mod. Tire burnouts Keep the mosquitos away!
Giver boys al always enjoy the down to earth no bullshit added videos and being able to watch guys that truly make a living doing what they love
Them Finnegan boys never meant no harm
"How to fix a tail-light."
Just when I thought you couldn't do anything stupider, you went and did this! And totally redeemed yourself!
Just awesome and such a nice sleeper now we need ramp truck drag races now
'Why'd you put a super charger on it?"
Jeremy Clarkson: *POWAAAAA*
Absolutely!!!!! Hammond you idiot!! 😂
If any person asks you why you put a supercharger on something run. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. :)
the tail Light was out.
Your hood could use some support, looking mighty floppy
I was thinking the same. I also think the scoop needs some work. Looks too square.
@@TT4ME Yeah, a proper cowl hood would look awesome on this thing.
@@7mtex300 I think rounding the edges to match the body lines of the hood would look good. Then paint it satin black.
I think just take the scoop off 😂
@@acherontiaatropos1 it'd look like 'tator!
Like how you still make Zip-Tie plug wire separators. They look so much better anyway. 12 Volt shaking his head to adding Chokes one day is pure greatness. LOL
I always saw this truck on the the way to the beach in MD on rt 50 and its good to see it getting all this love now.
What soulless beast would thumbs down this video?
A security guard... Or 2
Someone with no zest for life.
People who prefer Freiburger (wrong opinion)
The guy looking up Prius performance and saw this in his “recommended” lol
Finns next door neighbor?.
Absolutely rad. Now it just needs a set of Alcoas!
Ramptruck - Taillight = Supercharger 💯💨🏁 Genius!!
SMILES PER MILES is how I describe my 5th gen camaro
Turn signal light on my Bronco is out, does that mean I need EFI?
No Silly, Twin Turbo EFI..........lol
It means you need to get a natural gas carb and CNG tank & a gasfitters to install a gas compressor at your house.
No both are wrong coyote 5.0 with a pair of twins
no just a blower
No u need a MFI diesel turbo.
A wise man in a Roadkill episode once said, "If you have a supercharger, you're just cool." Superchargers make everything better.
* Finnegan quote
Mike you have out done your self on this truck .I can't wait to see your 55 Chevrolet on the back of this Cool ass Truck Totally awesome.
So glad to see this Ram Truck getting love
So, when are you adding 8-inch side pipes?
i have been waiting for this episode for so long! hell yea
Watching this, with the motor Trend channels Roadkill marathon going on the tv.
The CRC stuff is AMAZING.
It makes Gunk look like water.
And the EPA follows you home when you buy it!
Side note: I use Nickle Copper brake lines on EVERYTHING. Super easy to install, no rust ever!
"Here comes security ..here comes security!"
~ Ahh the good old days. Reminds me of sneaking into vacation resorts as a teenager in my home town - cruising for chicks (on foot). You had to be constantly practicing your ooda loop -- the golf cart commandos would come out of nowhere.
Ooda loop? lol
We’re you 19?
They “said they were 13.”
@@donellmuniz590 The OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is a four-step approach to decision-making that focuses on filtering available information, putting it in context and quickly making the most appropriate decision while also understanding that changes can be made as more data becomes available.
@@JesusisJesus No, I was a teenager. You know, 13, 14, 15... Riding a bicycle was my mode of transportation. Did you never flirt with girls at that age?
And why would you ask me If I was 19? Seems like an odd question. Were you making a lame attempt at ridicule?
"why are you putting a supercharger on the ramp truck?" Because supercharger!
You don't need a reason to put a supercharger on anything.
For when your race car needs parts you can say to take it off your truck.
Love the Spray can ramp truck.
You did catch the name drop write.
Spray Can Ramp.
Nice!!! Smile per gallon is my favorite saying. Watching the marathon right now and can’t wait for the new episode at 10!
Pressure washer with smallest nozzle and high pressure will fix that driveway ask me how I know😅
Ive done the same, good ol minwax dark walnut #3, the needle nozzle definitely works well.
Even better, get the cup with rotating heads. That stuff is perfect for oily patches and if you invert it, and drag it under the car at a low PSI, you can use it to clean your car's underside (stressing on the lower PSI setting).
A rotary nozzle will knock your socks off check em out.
@@craigm2484 yes they work like a charm - had to clean my back aksel for grease & dirt and it even took the paint off to :P
@@ricohegelund2789 aksel lmao dumbass Axle ™™™
For the three people who gave this a thumbs down, what's the logic?
There just ain't no pleasing some folks. I kinda feel sorry for anybody who has such a miserable life that they get off on dissing such quality content. :-(
I’m tired of seeing these comments. It’s because it shows up on people’s recommendations and all they have to do is hit the three dots and click not interested. Then UA-cam automatically dislikes the videos so it doesn’t recommend things like this.
Ignore all other comments, it's because the mobile interface of the UA-cam video has the like and dlslike buttons very close. Most of the dislikes you see are because of that reason. It also happens on the PC variant with a missed click. Who would ever think that it would be so difficult for a multibillion dollar company's devs to ... you know, move the buttons at opposite sides of the screen. You know, like paddle shifters.
Again, any other explanation you get is incorrect, this is the right answer. I'm sure you've clicked like once or twice and missclicked it to dislike, sometimes you know, sometimes you don't even know.
@@frankyalvarez7160 Incorrect. There's absolutely no reason for any app to work in that fashion, especially with a user choice. The reason is that on mobile interfaces, the buttons for like and dislike are too close. Fat thumbs don't like that kind of mingling.
@@aserta
You can undo likes and dislikes if you choose to
I loved this truck from the very start. Love it even more now! I think I'll go out and bust a tail light so I can install a blower on my Chevy pickup.
Love it!!! But addressing you’re intake issues, there is always the option for a professional port job!!!
I've had spray paint cans "go off" while trying to clear a stuck valve
Breakin' the law, breakin' the law...
Whew! Almost got in a full-on chase scene with the securo-kart! That would've been EPIC.
Oh god, that shit's so ,so funny.Ducking down when the security rolls by,you know that makes you feei young again!!!!Way too funny.Don't stop doing stuff like that.What a BLAST.......
Newbern did some great work on that firewall, love you guys stuff is the best!😁
I'm watching roadkill marathon also and recording them to! Great day...
Looks like Finnegan 55 Chevy Gasser has a new ramp truck to travel different drag events & car shows . Nice job u guys on ol Chevy C60 ramp truck she sounds amazing.
Wow, the response time of those school security guys down in Mexico is impressive!
Finn, when you were at the dead end street ready to peel when you backed up filming it was a PERFECT view of the truck. No stuff I’m serious with front bumper off the stance it’s an awesome looking truck for real Forget the burnouts it should be in a magazine it looked so good. HIGH FIVE ✋
TIPS HIS CAP 🧢 !! BAD ASS TRUCK.
Now, I might maybe be a little bias because my absolute favorite truck is a 1967 S WHEEL BASE PICK-UP Same as Chip Foose. Not because of Chip, because they just are.
I had one b-4 a divorce in 1992 got it at a yard sale in 90 no title no engine or transmission It was an okey doke Oklahoma truck with NO RUST. I was in the middle of restoring it and BAM !!!!!! Judge gave me that truck and the ex my 1986 Conversion Van. Wood work was done by Mennonites excellent wood work those okey doke guys did. I was so proud of that van.. but I wanted the kids to have it be comfortable etc. However I had to find a motor real quick to get to work.. anyhoo that’s that story.
LMAO 😜
BUT YOUR C-50 is an awesome truck…
Don’t sell it ever. The moron in the White House won’t live to much longer. And fossil fuel will be back in service and we can race as usual… THE BLASHEMI B READY TO ROCK
I had a black 94 thunderbird at high school that had T-Bizzle on the windshield. Had loud pipes, 2 12s 800watts rockford fosgate, 17x9 cobra r wheels, 373 gears and limited slip diff. Was a fun car for a 17 year old. Everyone called me T Bizzle
You think this old thing could do a burnout?? Never... Thanks Officer, have a great day!
Been watching since the rat rod vs lambo episode. This was the best yet.
ran into the same issue with my motorhome 454 with the heads when i scored a weiand tunnel ram for $100, spent days porting the heads out and rounding hard edges that i couldnt take out, worked good enough to split the th400 casing and break the flexplate all the way around, now has a motorhome th400 to lol
Love the tribute music to the Hagerty channel time lapse redline rebuilds!
Gasser look on a ramp truck sounds AWESOME!
LOVE the shot looking back from the highway to "Burn out Hill" and seeing that wispy white cloud still lingering!!!
Waving at security is priceless!
Must have mod list for the Superjet you bought.

You’re welcome! Be sure to make a video on it.
That has to be by far the best ramp truck build I've seen so far that thing is sick guys even down to that flat green and black paint freaking love it hope u all do more with it on ur channel
Those 3m worktunes are great, if you are ever out in rainy conditions a piece of tuck tape over the button and you are good to go
Newburn is frkn surgeon with a recipro.
Ur lucky to have him
Seems like a legit reason to be required to add a blower to me. My next fixit ticket, i am going to ask the officer if he can write "Must add a blower to facilitate a proper fix!" .
David wearing the worktunes I respect it! Those things are awesome.
I like using the nickel copper brake lines. They never rust out like the others and are easier to bend. If you’re in a rust area then you will understand.
Re-plumbing my truck in nicop lines this weekend. Rust sucks
the inside of the rocker cover actually looks really clean
At least it was a can of paint...I saw a can of greatstuff foam go under a work truck...thank god that wasn't mine. I so love the ramptruck from color to blower- awesome.
My wife left a can of pink spray paint on the garage floor. I found it with our white car.
Seen this truck at Indian mountain and it is awesome.
Best CRC add ever! Cleans brakes, parts, anything, it can even keep you out of jail with the wife.......
"It had a tail light out"
That's my new excuse! Thank you sir!
I love how both your natural reactions were to just wave 🤣 and then floor it ✌
I’m 4 days late but so ready for this episode.
What security 😳 . Love it. Georgia boy myself. 478 gotta represent 🙌
The green and black is looking good I like it!
