  • Woody's 600+HP Barra converted JDM Sleeper wagon has been a dream build for over 5 years and over the last 4 months has undergone a huge transformation.
    We've compiled all of the footage and condensed the episodes into one MASSIVE episode.
    Going back through the episodes gives you an idea of how much effort went into this project and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of our legendary mates and epic companies that support the show.

    Thx again for allowing us to hang out in the shed, watching you guys pour your blood, sweat and gears into another mammoth project. The smile at the end of the Dyno session says it all, now go out there and drive. Till the fuel tank runs dry, till there is no tyre trend left and made some memories. ❤❤

    The 10mm socket is a master escape artist. Buy them in bulk.
    I'm still mad that Ford of America never tried to bring the modern Barra engine back to the US. At least we got the EcoBoost V6 series, which is nice, but it isn't nearly as robust and it's a lot more complicated to make serious power from. Like, decent power is very easy to find. You can mod chip or ECU swap an EcoBoost V6 and make 450-500HP relatively easily, but if you want to make more than that, you're kind of out of luck without tearing everything down.
    I also think that large flake pearl white is a wholly underappreciated color for cars. It's easily one of my favorites and I'm very happy to see you painting a classic JDM wagon in such a color. I think it suits the car beautifully.

    0:41 Damn straight! There's so many nicks on my hands i've stopped counting them. Cars are my hobby away from other hobbies and work. Also a connection to my past and family. They're never easy to work on and any project you undertake that's more than swapping the fluids (tho even that one depends on who tightened the bung last) is bound to be a long term process, be it for work reasons or just plain inertia of getting things done right (which is why we start doing things in the first place).

The best is it has a 383 cu inch stroker that dyno tested to meet and exceed 435 horsepower by Blueprint Engines. Just what a 75 year old needs. I have had it sideways a couple of times. Pulled it out of that with no physical damage.

    I wonder if anyone has ever made a slant conversion for a Barra...
    25:09 yup. Silver solder (and other types of similar welding) aren't very difficult to achieve once you have the theory down. It's just a matter of being patient with the process and yourself and giving it a go. Certainly VERY useful skill to have in your bag of tricks, and something every car fella with a shop should learn even if they only use it once or twice.

The finances are no longer there, so the turbo YB engines, new parts & Haltech elite 2500 had to be sold in favour of cheaper Range Rover 4.6 V8 gear. At least I'll get it done some day... 10 years & counting! Cheers. Leigh.
