    I had a flashback when you stuck your hand down by the belt (25:45), (26:19), and (26:09). You never think it'll happen but the slightest touch of the belt can grab your finger and bring it right into the pulley. It'll crush the end of it off in the blink of an eye. Please don't do that. My left index finger is 1/2" shorter because I did the same thing. My finger looked like Skeletor when it skinned it down to the bone.

    If you think the exhaust is too close to the intake manifold, why don't you just cut it near the v-band at let's say a 10 degrees angle toward the passenger side? It would give a bit more clearance and it's only a 30 minutes job or so! An other option would be mounting a heat shield on the exhaust pipe but that's not the most elegant idea.

      @chevy383jt 4 года назад

      Yeah, the torque and weight difference is going to eliminate those consistent passes. But the speed will be awesome.

  • @tonymattisson6158
    @tonymattisson6158 4 года назад +8

    I must say that this Texas Speed engine seems so balanced when running. The vibrations seems just extremly low. I know that there where a little check some would do on a balanced engine. They took a coin and put on a flat spot on the engine standing up. And on idle it should not be falling down. Maybe it where easier when you had the airfilter on a carburator. Would be very interesting to see if it's doing so on Ruby. Or just some kind of container with water or some other thin dyed liquid of some sort.
    The new placement of the turbo looks great and in a way less ghetto build. Still very noticeble though which is awesome LOL.
    Also fun to see you guys work at home and in the trailer. Makes it some kind of more possible for people to build something like Ruby at home.

      When you consider the new engine isn't new and is payed for itself and that they made every upgrade a little at a time there was a smaller 76 mm I think then they went with engine after engine after engine till Texas speed made them a 5.3 that would last then they put the powerglide in there somewhere between engine 3.0 to turbo kit 2.0 on then came the sec bigger turbo after the new ecu I think but before the bolt on rear and front frame pieces and the coil over conversion so on a budget ya maybe but it was one hell of a budget. But this new engine paid for it did its job and what they asked of it now it gets to rip Ruby for a while till there is just no more life in her I think you should let me make you a case for it so you can put it on display in the breezeway at the freedom factory somewhere after Ruby is done with it that is

    Holley rocks! Or at least they did years ago. I was trying to dial in a 600cfm 4011 series on my original Monza V8 (262.5ci or 4.3L) and the accelerator shooters were too big. Called them up and they transferred me to a guy. Asked me what I was trying to do and what it was going on. I asked if I could *buy* a undrilled primary booster Venturi because I wanted to put smaller nozzle shooters in it. He said: " That engine and that cam is a combination I've never seen before!" "Yeah I used the older 600s and could tune them with the replaceable shooters, cams, clipped secondary springs, etc. Had to dial everything down a little. What I want to do is put the smaller nozzle shooters in this one".
    He says: "Wait a minute". So he comes back and asks for my address. "Ok, how much is the part?" I'm gonna send you two that have only been drilled partway if you can drill the outside part straight and to size for the nozzle". "So how much?" " Free, man. I designed that carb and that's something we never thought of!"

      DDAA I said nothing about Coop, he puts in no wrench time sells merch only because James build's this stuff from top to bottom. No disrespect to Coop but James makes every thing Cleet thinks of physically possible. Coops sells t-shirts of what James has built! Coop has plenty of time to build his own stuff, see what James does with his stuff after hours.. Coops Supra (gift) is still sitting there with barely anything done to it. Way more respect to James!

At a guess the work that Coops does in the background is probably the reason this channel gets to do what they do (&) have you watched this [ruclips.net/video/EFEnh4gUHwQ/видео.html] Seems that Coop's put in the hours away from the channel & just because there is nothing on the channel doesn't man that nothing is happening on different fronts. Case in point, all the talk re James and this video has come about because of this video, if the video wasn't done then no one would be the wiser.

And if he does show people his personal home, some people will work out where it is and he will have fanboys turning up unannounced like they have at the shop. Just because you watch him almost every day of the week and it may seam like you know him. He deserves to be left alone. Especially in is own home. He doesn't know any of the creepers that would just show up. Plus inside his home is his space he doesn't have to give no one a walk through.
