fav show….been watching since it was Horsepower on TNN…..Frankie n Pat are just the best. would be fun to watch you guys dig into some air cooled car engines as well
No matter what the subjexct matter, it's great to see people at the very top of their game who have such confidence and knowledge. You can only get that with time served.
Import and euro. NO!
You guys should consider a straight 8 build. They've done all of the big three straight 6's, and GM's SBC V6. Some newer V6 (3800), and GM's newer turbo inline 4's would be cool too.

The baby picture!!! Love it!
I have questions.
1. When you knife edge a crank do you reduce engine torque output and does it weaken the crank?
2. When you off set the crankshaft does it weaken the crank also by how much if you grind?
3. What’s the difference between normal bearings and racing bearings and do they reduce friction on the engine?
If given the chance for a “sky high” style build where budget and material type had no limit, would you consider building the lightest V8 that also made the highest horsepower (think pure titanium/carbon fiber build) just to see what it could do?
What's a good. Way to hp a 4cyl?
Just noticed he looked different. Nice!! Been a fan for 2 decades. Love all the shows. Thank you for the Knowledge. Being a subscriber is awesome as well. Have fun Pat and Frankie🤙🏻❤️
Love the show, guys. I've been watching for a lot of years as well. At the risk of alienating some of your base (American muscle), I'd love to see a build up on a 4.0 Toyota, 1GR-FE engine.
You both are fantastic hosts and explain things well. Keep rollin' with the pocket protector and dad jokes!
Good day gentlemen, I have a mission if you choose to participate well I want to know will high compression motors with ring gap except boosted in duction systems and not scatter if you manage boost
Gents. What’s your thoughts on hydrogen as a fueI. I believe AVL race tech has produced one. Would you build one.
Im broke have no money and drive an automatic pos… this is a longshot but can you just build me a super cool car, like anything manual transmission is my only wish, I’ll give you my car in return and my gratitude. I know this is a long shot and I highly doubt it but a man in my position can only hope. God bless you anyways, love you guys been watching for so many years since way before i even had a license you guys are the best, my favorite was always EnginePower! Again God Bless
Can I have a job with you guys? I love motors and making the most power I can out of any motor ,small big ,long or short lol
I actually know carscatsandaliens YouTube channel.
How about exploring stroker combos for torq, what cams do best for 4×4 and towing by the cubic inch
PATRICK!!!!!
What happened to your YouTube channel, man?! And the minibike?!
Also enjoyed seeing some of your Freedom content 😉
That was the most gangster leatherman draw I’ve ever seen anyone do. Nice pat
Hey guys. Still wanting and challenging y’all to build a built North Star. L47 please. Caddy ran a beautiful LMP at lemans in 2000 running a boosted L47 Variant
I love your show. Keep going!
Here's one for you. Why do people call engines motors but no one calls motors engines? 🤣🤣
Damn Pat! You've been hitting the gym huh? You look at least ten years younger!
Are we glossing over Pat's knife skills? 😂
Really like too see a build on a 4.6 ford engine something mild . Good show guy's
There is also yellow plastic gauge
After building an engine new rods and pistons how long before you should go full throttle on them ?
"Experts"? College boy doesn't know the difference between piston ring lands and piston ring grooves, go back to Buzzin' Half Dozen. Lost respect for the channel with that episode, haven't watched since until today. Pat, he's a good guy.
Have you ever tuned a Jag 5.0 litre supercharged engine. It would be interesting to see what power you managed to get out of it.
Pat has been getting after it. Good work 💪🏽
#9. Do a 70s datsun inline 6
Would love to see you build a car and enter it in Power Tour or Sick Week, then document your trip every step of the way. It would be a wonderful demonstration of pre conceived strategy and tactics versus real life experience.
yes engine power and musclecar are my two faves its har for me to ge a job building engines since i am vusally imparied jt i love cars all the same
"and today, we're gonna do something we have not done before, and that is answer your mail"….. oof
9:25 Yes, that's why you dont run Twin Turbos on a 13.5:1 Engine unless its fully built to withstand a nuclear blast, and youre running high enough octane.
YOU GUYS ARE AWSOME…I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE I AM "LEGALLY BLIND" IN ONE EYE…
BUT…I CAN STILL DREAM!!! I'LL THROW A CHALLENGE FOR YOU….
LET'S SEE YOU GUYS DO A FULL BUILD ON A 1969 VW BUS😂😂😂😂 ALL YOUR VEHICLES ARE AWSOME.
How are you with electric powered cars?🤔
my first engine was a briggs it never ran but it turned into a fun hobby and im proud to say now 30 years later ive sucessfully repaired literally thousands of mowers for myself people in the neighborhood and customers today though ive stopped working in a shop and i no longer do repairs for people in the neighborhood i just work on my own stuff
why do some people swear theyll never own a ford cleveland engine but then some people swear by them
same goes for the ford windsor engines
I didn't recognize pat without 2 dozen pens in his pocket.
Still in love with you guys for making that ford inline 6 300ci turbo. From 90hp to 400something was insane. That was a super budget friendly engine. Would love to see that one power a car or truck. Did it make it in that old truck if so we didn’t see it drive! Please get these engines in vehicles or pass them off to your other team member who are building cool cars! I see trucks and cars for sale now on the used market with 300k miles so we are definitely all driving alot!
