Galaxie Teardown

(ANNOUNCER)>> TODAY WE BEGIN A NEW PROJECT FROM A '63 GALAXIE WE'VE DUBBED WHITE FRIGHT. PLUS AN INSIDE LOOK INTO UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.

(MIKE)>> WELCOME TO ENGINE POWER. TODAY WE'RE STARTING A BUILD THAT'S GONNA TAKE A FEW SHOWS TO GET FINISHED. NOW THIS ENGINE IS A FAMILIAR POWER HOUSE WE NAMED LITTLE BLACK AND BLUE. AND EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T HEAR, IT'S BEGGING TO GET BETWEEN THE FRAME RAILS OF A DESERVING RIDE.

(PAT)>> AND THAT RIDE IS THIS 1963 FORD GALAXIE

TWO DOOR POST MODEL. IT HAS A SUPER SOLID BODY AND THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 52 YEAR OLD PAINT. I BOUGHT IT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PITS AT THE NHRA US NATIONALS UP IN INDIANAPOLIS, BACK IN 2007, AND ASIDE FROM THE WHEELS AND TIRES THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL.

I REMOVED THE ORIGINAL 260 CUBIC INCH VEIGHT AND REPLACED IT WITH A 351 WINDSOR BUILT OUT OF SPARE

PARTS I COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS. IT'S GOT A SOLID ROLLER VALVETRAIN, NINE POINT THREE TO ONE COMPRESSION, IRON RHS 180cc HEADS, SUMMIT RACING DUAL PLANE INTAKE, AND A HOLLEY 750 HP CARB. THE POWER IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 400 HORSE.

IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE I BUILT NHRA PRO STOCK ENGINES FOR THE SUMMIT RACING TEAM.

THIS ENGINE COMBINES SOME OF THEIR CATALOG PARTS WITH SOME OF THAT RACING TECHNOLOGY. THIS MSD DIGITAL SEVEN PROGRAMMABLE IGNITION BOX ACTUALLY POWERED GREG ANDERSON TO THE NHRA WORLD PRO STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2010. NOW THAT'S COOL!

THE INTERIOR WILL TAKE YOU BACK IN TIME.

IT'S 52 YEARS OLD AND HAS THAT DISTINCTIVE OLD CAR AROMA THAT WE LOVE. CHECK OUT THE DIAMETER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT'S THE SAME SIZE AS A SCHOOL BUS AT 17 INCHES, AND NOTICE THAT SHIFTER LEVER. IT'S A THREE ON THE TREE, MEANING A THREE SPEED COLUMN SHIFTED TRANSMISSION.

THE REST OF IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ORIGINAL FACTORY CARPET. THE TRUNK IS THE SAME WAY, NO ROT, AND BIG ENOUGH TO USE AS A CAMPER.

(MIKE)>> ALONG WITH LITTLE BLACK AND BLUE THE GALAXIE IS ALSO GETTING THIS CUSTOM TREMEC MAGNUM SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION PREPPED BY AMERICAN POWERTRAIN. NOW THIS ISN'T YOUR STANDARD SIX SPEED GEAR BOX. THIS THING IS RATED TO HANDLE 1,100 POUND FEET OF TORQUE. NOW THE INTERNALS HAVE BEEN TUNED UP AND RECEIVED A SPECIAL PROCESS TO ACHIEVE THAT RATING. ALONG WITH IT IS A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH SETUP, AND A TWIN DISC CLUTCH IS IN THE WORKS.

(PAT)>> PUTTING ALL THAT POWER TO THE PAVEMENT IS THIS CUSTOM NINE INCH REAR END FROM CURRIE. THEIR OWN NINE PLUS NODULAR CASE HOUSES AN EATON TRUE TRACK DIFFERENTIAL SPINNING A YUKON GEAR 370 RING AND PINION. THE FAB NINE HOUSING HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A NASCAR STYLE RIG WITH BAER'S TRACKER FULL FLOATER AXLE CONVERSION AND BAER'S MASSIVE 14 INCH DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS ALONG WITH THEIR SIX PISTON CALIPERS WILL BRING IT ALL TO A STOP IN A HURRY.

(MIKE)>> SINCE WE HAVE THE EQUIPMENT, LET'S SEE WHAT THIS OLD '63 WILL PUT DOWN AT THE TIRES. PAT GUESTIMATES THE ENGINE MAKES 400 HORSEPOWER. SO TO THE ROLLERS WE GO. ALRIGHT PAT IT'S ALL YOU. I'M TAKING A FEW STEPS AWAY FROM THE PATH

OF THE DRIVESHAFT. NO TELLING HOW LONG THAT UJOINT HAS BEEN THERE. AND FOR ALL YOU YOUNGUNS, HERE'S HOW A THREE SPEED ON THE COLUMN WORKS. IN THIRD GEAR AND RPM STABILIZED AT 2,700, HERE WE GO.

MAN IT HAS CRISP THROTTLE RESPONSE.

IT'S ON ITS WAY TO 5,500 WITHOUT A HICK UP. 288 ON POWER, 324 ON TORQUE, NOT BAD!

(PAT)>> THAT IS NOT BAD.

(MIKE)>> WELL GO AHEAD AND MAKE ANOTHER PULL. LET'S SEE IF IT LAYS DOWN THE NUMBER AGAIN.

THIS PULL WILL START AT 2,700 AS WELL, BUT FROM THE LITTLE SMIRK I SAW ON PAT'S FACE, I DON'T THINK HE'LL LET OUT UNTIL HE SEES 6,000 ON THE TACH. IT PICKED UP SEVEN NUMBERS, 295, 326 ON TORQUE.

(PAT)>> OH, OKAY, WELL IT'S A...

WHAT WAS THAT AIR/FUEL ON THAT?

(MIKE)>> IT WAS ABOUT 13 TO ONE AND IT ACTUALLY LEANED OUT THROUGH THE RUN TO ABOUT 14.4.

(PAT)>> THIS IS SET UP FOR MORE LIKE FUEL MILEAGE.

(MIKE)>> YOU GONNA TUNE HER UP?

(PAT)>> YEAH LET ME PUT A LITTLE GAS TO HER.

(MIKE)>> SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

PAT'S CARBURETOR IS A TRICK RACING PIECE. HE CAN ADJUST THE JETS EXTERNALLY BY TURNING AN ADJUSTMENT SCREW. NOW HE'S ADDING THE EQUIVALENT OF FOUR JET SIZES. [ engine revving ]

(MIKE)>> THE PULLS ARE THE SAME FROM 2,700 TO 6,000, AND IT ALREADY SOUNDS A LITTLE BETTER. THAT'S A PRETTY BIG TUNE UP THERE SIR! WE WENT FROM 295 TO 315 ON POWER AND TORQUE PICKED UP EIGHT FOOT POUNDS TO 334. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NEXT?

(PAT)>> WE CAN TRY CHANGING TIMING A LITTLE BIT JUST TO SEE IF WE CAN PICK IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

(MIKE)>> I THINK YOU'RE SAFE TO GO ANOTHER TWO DEGREES.

(PAT)>> YEAH, LET'S DO IT. I'M TAKING IT FROM 33 DEGREES TO 35. THE 87 OCTANE IN THIS TANK IS OVER A YEAR AND HALF OLD AND VOLATILE.

(MIKE)>> WITH THE AFR IN A SAFE RANGE FOR THIS ENGINE WE'RE GOING FOR MAX POWER ON THE NEXT AND FINAL RUN.

(PAT)>> WE PICK UP ANY THERE CAPTAIN?

(MIKE)>> I'D SAY THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

(PAT)>> WHAT'D IT MAKE?

(MIKE)>> 328, 347! I THINK WE'VE ABOVE THE 400 HORSEPOWER MARK NOW AT THE FLYWHEEL.

(PAT)>> AS THE SAYING GOES, I THINK THAT'S ALL SHE'S GOT CAPTAIN.

(MIKE)>> THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

(PAT)>> THAT'S SUCCESSFUL RIGHT THERE MAN.

(MIKE)>> LET'S GET HER ON DOWN.

(PAT)>> ALRIGHT, I HADN'T HAD THIS MUCH FUN SINCE THE DUSTER.

(PAT)>> WE'RE BACK AND MOVED THE GALAXIE FROM THE

CHASSIS DYNO TO THE LIFT.

WE HAD A COOL IDEA DURING THE BREAK, AND SINCE WE HAVE THE ABILITY WE'RE REMOVING THE ENGINE AND PLACING IT ON THE ENGINE DYNO TO SEE HOW MUCH POWER IS ABSORBED THROUGH THE TRANS AND THE REAR END OF THIS 52 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE FIRST ITEM TO BE REMOVED IS THE DRIVESHAFT. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT'S THE ORIGINAL.

(MIKE)>> THE CLUTCH LINKAGE IS FAR FROM ORIGINAL AND HAD TO BE CHANGED FOR THE 351 SWAP. NOW PAT GOT THE GEOMETRY JUST RIGHT, AND CHECK OUT THE CLUTCH FORK PUSH ROD. BUILT OUT OF NECESSITY, A WRENCH WAS USED. BY PULLING THE CLIPS THE LINKAGE CAN BE REMOVED

FROM THE TRANS. NOW MISTER NECESSITY CAN BE PULLED OUT OF THE WAY, AND USING A RUBIK'S CUBE TACTIC THE STARTER COMES OUT TOO. THE EXHAUST GOES AWAY AND WILL NOT BE REUSED. NOW OUR MATCO TRANSMISSION JACK CAN SUPPORT THE TRANS SO WE CAN UNBOLT ITS CROSSMEMBER, REMOVE THE

BELL HOUSING FASTENERS, SEPARATE THE TRANS FROM THE BLOCK.

(PAT)>> YOU'RE CLEAR BABY.

(MIKE)>> AND LOWER IT ALL DOWN.

(PAT)>> THIS IS THE PINNACLE OF 1963 TECHNOLOGY. NOW WE CAN DRAIN THE COOLANT. WE'LL ALSO DRAIN THE BLOCK ONCE WE GET IT ON THE RUN STAND SO WE DON'T MIX ANY OF IT WITH THE DYNO'S WATER.

FROM THE TOP WE CAN REMOVE THE COIL WIRE, DISTRIBUTOR LEAD FROM THE IGNITION BOX, TEMP SENDER WIRE, OIL

PRESSURE LINE, UNHOOK THE HOSES, FUEL LINE, REMOVE THE CARB, AND ATTACH THE LIFT PLATE. DETACH THE RADIATOR, AND WITH THE ENGINE MOUNT NUTS

REMOVED AND HOMEMADE ENGINE LIMITER TAKEN OFF, IT'S COMING OUT. WE LEFT THE DISTRIBUTOR IN THE SAME PLACE AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE CARB. THIS THING'S SO BIG YOU COULD STICK TWO ENGINES IN IT. WE'RE ALSO RUNNING THESE HEADERS SO THE TEST IS THE REAL DEAL.

SO ON THE RUN CART IT GOES. OUR DRIVE PLATE FOR THE DYNO HAS MOST PRESSURE PLATE BOLT PATTERNS. THIS ALLOWS US TO RUN THE SAME FLYWHEEL WE USED IN THE CAR. FOR SAFETY WE ARE REMOVING THE MECHANICAL FAN BUT THE WATER PUMP WILL STILL BE TURNED BY THE BELT. GOING FROM THE CHASSIS DYNO TO THE ENGINE DYNO SEEMS BACKWARDS BUT IT WILL GIVE A REAL WORLD REPORT OF HOW MUCH POWER IS SOAKED UP BY THE GALAXIE'S DRIVELINE. THE CHASSIS DYNO IS INERTIA DRIVEN, MEANING THE LOAD THE ENGINE SEES IS BY THE WEIGHT OF THE DRUM THAT IT'S SPINNING OUT BACK. AN ENGINE DYNO LOADS WITH A WATER BREAK. WE INPUT PARAMETERS TO CONTROL THE ENGINE'S ACCELERATION RATE. WHILE THEY LOAD THE ENGINE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, IF THEY'RE REPEATABLE THEY WILL BOTH GIVE ACCURATE RESULTS.

(MIKE)>> YOU READY?

(PAT)>> YEP! [ engine fires up ]

(MIKE)>> FOR AN ACCURATE COMPARISON WE'RE RUNNING 35 DEGREES OF TIMING, THE SAME HEADERS, AND EVEN DRAINED THE GAS OUT OF THE CAR AND PUT IT IN THE DYNO CELL. ALRIGHT 27 TO SIX, EVERYTHING'S SET UP AS IT WAS IN THE CAR, READY?

(PAT)>> YEAH, SURE!

(MIKE)>> THE PULL IS FROM 2,700 TO 6,000, JUST LIKE PAT RAN IT IN THE CAR. IT SOUNDS A LOT BIGGER THAN IT IS.

(PAT)>> ALRIGHT.

(MIKE)>> 371, 380 ON TORQUE.

(PAT)>> I THINK IT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT MORE OIL TEMP.

SO JUST GO AHEAD AND NOT CHANGE ANYTHING AND JUST BLAST HER AGAIN.

(MIKE)>> YOU WERE BEATING IT ON THE CHASSIS DYNO.

(PAT)>> YES, YES, IT HAD QUITE A BIT OF OIL TEMP, YEAH, THAT'S NOT A BAD START.

(MIKE)>> ALRIGHT, MIMIC RUN ONE. [ engine revving ]

(MIKE)>> 380, 380, GOD YOU'RE GOOD.

(PAT)>> I THINK...

(MIKE)>> YOU WANT TO COOL THE CHAMBER A LITTLE BIT?

(PAT)>> YEAH LET'S COOL IT DOWN JUST A TAD BIT AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE. AND IT'S GONNA HAVE ENOUGH OIL TEMP NOW.

(MIKE)>> GOOD DEAL! TO DO THAT WE OPEN A VALVE THAT ALLOWS COOL WATER TO ENTER THE HOLDING TANK FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS.

THEN CLOSE THE VALVE TO TRAP IT IN THE TANK. IT WON'T CIRCULATE INTO THE ENGINE UNTIL IT'S

RUNNING SINCE WE HAVE A MECHANICAL WATER PUMP. WITH IT IDLING THE TEMPERATURE DROPS, WHICH COOLS THE HEAD'S CHAMBERS AND THE BLOCK. ALRIGHT, GOT OIL TEMP IN HER, WATER TEMP'S DOWN WHERE WE WANT IT, COOL THE CHAMBER.

(PAT)>> THIS IS THE GRAND FINALE.

(MIKE)>> THIS IS IT.

(PAT)>> AND IT HAS TO BE. WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF THE GAS WE DRAINED OUT OF THE GALAXIE. [ engine revving ]

(MIKE)>> 386, 382.

(PAT)>> THAT'S AWESOME, AND FROM WHERE WE STARTED, IT WAS 328.

(MIKE)>> LET'S FIND OUT OUR PERCENTAGE.

(PAT)>> THAT'S GOT TO BE CLOSE TO 15. SO THAT'S 386 MINUS WHAT IT WAS ON THE CHASSIS DYNO, WHICH WAS 328 EQUALS 58 HORSEPOWER DIFFERENCE. SO IF YOU DIVIDE THAT BY THREE POINT EIGHTSIX, WHICH IS ONE PERCENT, THAT'S 15.025 DRIVELINE LOSS, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE OUR MANUAL TRANSMISSION LOSS SHOULD BE FROM THE DYNO TO THE CHASSIS DYNO.

(MIKE)>> AND THAT ALSO GOES TO SHOW THAT THE CHASSIS DYNO AND THE ENGINE DYNO ARE VERY ACCURATE. SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH THIS ENGINE?

(PAT)>> I THINK, I'VE GOT A PLAN, I'M GONNA TRADE THAT ENGINE FOR A LITTLE BODY WORK. LET ME GET WITH JEREMY IN TRUCK TECH AND I THINK HE'S GONNA HELP ME PRESERVE THE PAINT ON THAT THING JUST LIKE IT IS.

(MIKE)>> AWESOME, VERY COOL, NOT A BAD DAY.

(PAT)>> REALLY GOOD DAY.

(ANNOUNCER)>> UTI HAS BEEN STARTING CAREERS FOR 50 YEARS AND STILL GROWING. FIND OUT WHY NEXT!

(PAT)>> LET'S FACE IT, FOR MILLIONS OF GEARHEADS LIKE YOU AND US WORKING ON CARS IS A PASSION. IT'S PRETTY COOL TO BE ABLE TO MODIFY AN ENGINE OR BUILD A COMPLETE CAR, AND THE MORE SKILLS THAT YOU HAVE THE MORE FUN IT IS.

(MIKE)>> AND NOWADAYS A LOT OF GUYS ARE TURNING THEIR AUTOMOTIVE PASSIONS INTO AUTOMOTIVE

PROFESSIONS, GETTING SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN TODAY'S ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES.

THE DAYS ARE LONG GONE WHEN A FEW HIGH SCHOOL MECHANICS CLASSES WOULD BE ENOUGH TO GET YOU BY.

(PAT)>> REPAIRING TODAY'S HIGH TECH CARS REQUIRES A NEW BREED OF TECHNICIAN WITH ADVANCED SKILLS TAUGHT AT A SPECIALIZED SCHOOL LIKE UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE. UTI'S COMMITMENT TO QUALITY TRAINING DATES BACK TO 1965 WHEN FOUNDER BOB SWEET STARTED IT WITH A SMALL SHOP AND CLASS OF ONLY A FEW STUDENTS. TODAY, 50 YEARS LATER, UTI'S 12 CAMPUSES ACROSS THE US ARE WORKING TO FILL THE HIGH DEMAND FOR PROFESSIONAL TRAINED TECHS FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE,

DIESEL, MOTORCYCLE, EVEN MARINE INDUSTRIES. LARGE MODERN SPECIALLY EQUIPPED FACILITIES ARE THE TRAINING GROUNDS WHERE INSTRUCTORS LIKE DAVE SIMMONS TEACH STUDENTS ELECTRONICS, A MANDATORY BUILDING BLOCK TO BECOMING A GREAT TECHNICIAN.

(DAVE)>> THEY MAKE GREAT TECHNICIANS BECAUSE WE GIVE THEM THE BASIS, IF YOU WILL, A VERY GOOD STRUCTURE TO BUILD ON. BUT IT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE TO SEE THEM COME INTO THIS SCHOOL AND SEE THEM GO OUT OF THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY'VE MATURED, THEY'VE HUMBLED, WE'VE TAUGHT THEM. WE GIVE THEM THAT CONFIDENCE, WE EMPOWER THEM WITH THAT CONFIDENCE SO THAT THEY CAN GO TO A DEALERSHIP OR GO TO A SMALL SHOP, MAYBE EVEN OPEN UP THEIR OWN.

(MIKE)>> CORE PROGRAMS INCLUDE BASIC ENGINE LAB WHERE INSTRUCTORS USE A SEA OF TEST ENGINES

PROVIDING ONE ON ONE TRAINING ON DISASSEMBLING, MEASURING CLEARANCES, AND REASSEMBLING, IN THIS CASE ON THREE LITER DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAM FORDS. THIS INTENSIVE FOCUS ON ENGINE TECHNOLOGY IS WHY COMPANIES LIKE SHELL, FEATURING PENNZOIL MOTOR OIL, ARE STRATEGIC UTI PARTNERS.

(DON)>> HAVING A PLACE LIKE UTI WHERE WE CAN REALLY EDUCATE IN THE RIGHT WAY, REALLY HAVE THE CURRICULUM DIALED IN, REALLY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY LEADERS AT OUR TEAM ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE MATERIALS AND WORKING IN CONCERT WITH THE INSTRUCTORS AND THE LEARNING TEAM HERE, REALLY SET UP THE INFORMATION AND DIALOG THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO THE TECHNICIANS TRYING TO GET AN EDUCATION HERE. IF I WAS TO DO MY LIFE OVER AGAIN I THINK I'D

WANT TO COME BACK HERE JUST TO BE IN THE HOT ROD SHOP SO I COULD BUILD SOMETHING ON THE ENGINE DYNO. I MEAN WHAT A FUN DAY FOR THEM TO BUILD SOMETHING. WE HAVE SEVERAL PRODUCTS IN OUR PORTFOLIO THAT REALLY MEET THE DEMANDING REQUIREMENTS OF THAT TESTING.

(PAT)>> UTI ALSO PRIORITIZES TRAINING ON

NEW HYBRID AND ALTERNATIVE FUEL TECHNOLOGIES WITH EVERYTHING FROM THEORY AND DIAGNOSTICS TO REPAIRING IMPORT AND DOMESTIC POWER SYSTEMS.

(MIKE)>> UTI'S AUTOMOTIVE CORE PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES POWER AND PERFORMANCE, WHERE STUDENTS LEARN ENGINE BLUE PRINTING AND HOW TO BUILD AND MODIFY BLOCKS, CYLINDER HEADS, VALVETRAINS, AND ROTATING ASSEMBLIES. THEN THEIR CREATIONS, LIKE THIS CARBURETED LS ONE, ARE PUT THROUGH THE PACES AND TUNED FOR POWER ON THE SHOP'S ENGINE DYNO. AND THEN SOME OF THESE BUILT SMALL BLOCKS GET DROPPED INTO A FLEET OF SPEEDWAY TBUCKETS. THEN THESE MULES ARE READY FOR A TRIP TO THE ROLLERS IN THE PENNZOIL SPONSORED DUAL CHASSIS DYNO FACILITY.

(PAT)>> HERE INSTRUCTORS TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO RUN A DYNO AND PUT THESE 350 STREET RODS THROUGH THE TEST AND TUNE CYCLES. UTI ALSO OFFERS A VARIETY OF MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC ADVANCE TRAINING PROGRAMS. DEDICATED GM INSTRUCTORS TURN OUT SPECIALISTS READY TO WORK AT GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIPS. ANOTHER ADVANCE TRAINING OPTION UTI OFFERS IS THE BMW STEP PROGRAM.

GRADUATE RYAN BARRERA IS NOW AN INSTRUCTOR FOR THIS PROGRAM AT UTI AVONDALE.

(RYAN)>> WE'VE PARTNERED WITH BMW TO GET THEM THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO WALK INTO A BMW STORE AND BE RIGHT UP TO SPEED ON WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A BMW. ALRIGHT AND SPIN IT AGAIN. SO THAT'S GONNA GIVE US OUR SPEC. SO WHAT WAS OUR SPEC AGAIN? ( )>> POINT ZEROONE.

(RYAN)>> POINT ZEROONE, AND THAT'S ABOUT WHAT WE GOT, SO THAT ROTORS IN GOOD CONDITION. I LOVE TEACHING. IT'S GREAT TO GIVE BACK AND BE ABLE TO SEE THESE GUYS GET SUCCESSFUL IN THE BUSINESS.

(MIKE)>> AND THE CONTINUING DEMAND FOR GRADUATES BY EMPLOYERS IS TESTAMENT TO THE QUALITY OF UTI'S PROGRAMS.

(CHERYL)>> WE JUST HAD A FORD CAREER DAY. WE HAD 40 EMPLOYERS ON CAMPUS AND OVER 200 INTERVIEWS IN ONE DAY ALONE. SO IT WAS A REMARKABLE DAY. WE HAD MANY STUDENTS THAT ACCEPTED AND WERE EXTENDED OFFERS ON THE SPOT, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF EMPLOYERS THAT OFFER TUITION REIMBURSEMENT, PITCH IN FOR TOOL ALLOWANCES, RELOCATION PACKAGES. SO THEY KNOW IF THEY WANT TO GET THE CREAM OF THE CROP AND GET A SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYEE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO STEP UP WITH A GREAT BENEFIT PACKAGE AS WELL.

(PAT)>> AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF YOU LOVE THE HANDS ON EXPERIENCE OF WORKING ON CARS, GETTING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AT A PLACE LIKE UTI CAN GIVE YOU ALL THE SKILLS YOU NEED TO BUILD A SOLID A CAREER.

(MIKE)>> TO FIND OUT MORE LOG ON TO UTI DOT EDU.

(PAT)>> TWO YEARS OF TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT HAS LEAD ETHREE TO BRING THEIR DIAMOND FIRE

TECHNOLOGY INTO THE RACING WORLD. THEY HAVE AN ALL NEW LINE OF PLUGS SPECIFICALLY ENGINEERED FOR THE DEMANDS OF HIGH HORSEPOWER IN ALL FORMS OF RACING, FROM THE WEEKEND WARRIOR STUFF ALL THE WAY UP TO TOP FUEL DRAGSTERS. THEY HAVE A REDESIGNED GROUND STRAP TO SPEED HEAT TRANSFER, IMPROVE SPARK PRESENTATION, AND PROMOTE FLAME PROPAGATION. THEY'RE MADE IN COLDER HEAT RANGES TO FACILITATE THE HIGHER CYLINDER PRESSURES OF RACING. PLUS THEY'RE A NONRESISTOR PLUG FOR MAXIMUM CURRENT FLOW. GO TO ETHREE SPARK PLUGS DOT COM SEE WHERE YOU CAN FIND A SET FOR YOUR HOT ROD.

(MIKE)>> ROYAL PURPLE'S NEW MAX CLEAN IS A STATE OF THE ART SYNTHETIC FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER THAT CLEANS INJECTORS, CARBURETORS, INTAKE VALVES, AND COMBUSTION CHAMBERS. NOW THIS STUFF IS EPA AND CARB APPROVED AND

WORKS WITH ANY TYPE OF FUEL. NOW TWO CYCLE ENGINES CAN EVEN BENEFIT FROM ITS USE. NOW WITH ALL THOSE COMPONENTS CLEAN YOU GET BETTER FUEL MILEAGE AND REDUCED EMISSION. NOW ONE 20 OUNCE CAN TREATS UP TO 20 GALLONS OF FUEL, AND YOU CAN PICK YOURS UP AT AUTOZONE FOR $15.99 A CAN.

(PAT)>> WHETHER UPGRADING YOUR EXISTING RIDE OR BUILDING AN ENTIRE NEW, MISTER GASKET HAS SEVERAL THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU OUT. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU'RE CHANGING HEADERS OR JUST PUTTING IN GASKETS, PICK UP A SET OF THEIR HEAD LOCK LOCKING HEADER BOLTS. THEY ALREADY HAVE THE THREAD LOCKER APPLIED. AND FOR YOU VORTEC GUYS, A CHROME WATER NECK WILL ADD SOME VISUAL UNDER HOOD APPEAL. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME UNIQUE THINGS, LIKE A LINE OF FUEL PUMPS. NOW THIS IS JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE OF WHAT MISTER GASKET HAS TO OFFER AND YOU CAN FIND THEM ALL AT SUMMIT RACING.

(MIKE)>> WELL THIS WRAPS UP OUR 2015 SEASON AND WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE HUGE VARIETY OF PROJECTS WE BROUGHT TO YOU. NOW THOSE INCLUDED EVERYTHING FROM BASIC

INLINE SIX CYLINDER BUILDS TO FRESHENING UP A PIECE OF MOTORSPORTS HISTORY WITH THE ORIGINAL BIGFOOT ENGINE BUILD. IF YOU'RE A MUSTANG GUY YOU HAD TO BE PLEASED WHEN WE MADE OVER 800 HORSEPOWER AT THE WHEELS OF A 2015 GT, AND WE FINISHED OFF WITH A COUPLE OF POTENT BIG BLOCK BUILDS THAT WILL DEFINITELY GET EVERYONE'S ATTENTION.

(PAT)>> WE ALSO GAVE BACK TO YOU LOYAL VIEWERS BY BUILDING SOME GIVEAWAY GOODIES, LIKE THE EDELBROCK 60TH ANNIVERSARY BLOWN SMALL BLOCK CHEVY, A FACTORY FIVE '33 ROADSTER CALLED "RATTLE CAN ROD"

FROM DUPLICOLOR, AND THAT POTENT ULTIMATE Z-06 VETTE COURTESY OF POWER STOP BRAKES.

(MIKE)>> NOW FOR THE 2016 SEASON WE READ YOUR EMAILS AND WE'RE WITH YOU. WE'RE STARTING OFF WITH THE BASICS, A SMALL BLOCK CHEVY BUILD IN THREE DIFFERENT STAGES. THEN WE'RE FLIPPING THE CARD AND BUILDING AN 850 PLUS HORSEPOWER LSA. NOW THE ONLY THING I THINK WE HAVE LEFT TO SAY IS THANKS TO ALL THE SPONSORS WHO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO BRING THIS TECH INTO YOUR LIVING ROOMS.
