Mystery Project Car Is Here and So Is The Engine!

- Episode 293 is a banger cause the car I've been teasing you about for over a year is finally in my garage and being worked on. In this video we show you portions of my new drag and drive beast, a car that hopefully is fast enough to trip the beams of a 1/4 mile dragstrip in under 7 seconds at over 200 mph. Powering the project is a custom-built 400ci LS engine crafted by Ace Racing Engines in Torrance, California.
/ @aceracingengines
This car already has a good starting point because I bought it as a roller featuring an aftermarket tube chassis, Weld Racing wheels, Mickey Thompson tires, and a Fueltech FT-600 efi system.

Brandon Wilbur's abandoned Lexus LC 500 drag car project! Sweet!👍😁
Nailed it!
💯 Googled it looked at pics. Everything is there down to the battery in the passenger side floorboard
Damnit you beat me to it 😭😭
Just looked it up, and absolutely is the LC500. Bad ass car.
100% match
Please take "Angelo" to whatever event this will run at, you guys are the best/most entertaining team to watch
3 weeks ago, I broke my tib/fib in 6 places. Seeing you on your feet and working on cars is making me extremely motivated to get off my crutches and back onto the projects as soon as I can.
Dang bro. How'd you do that?
Heal up fast man
@@thedude7726 Cheers. Came off a dirtbike. The MX boot likely saved my ankle at the expense of the bones. They had to screw the tib back together to get the rod down it, then some more to hold that in place. I can put some weight on it now but still need crutches to walk.
Always wear your gear. It did save your ankle and most likely your entire lower leg . Seen too many dudes loose their leg due bad crashes and no boots and then infection . Take the time and do the pysio . It helps long term when you get old trust me 👌.
@@KTMGREG55 Cheers. I'm an "all the gear, all the time" kind of rider. I was wearing my casual road gear underneath with level 2 armour. Saved my arm as the surface was rocky and I still had a couple small chunks out of my elbow. Haven't been given physio yet but I'll be doing what they say and also easing back into the gym as soon as I possibly can.
I found the original "for sale ad" was asking $85,000 as a roller, or $125,000 with a drive train.
"There’s also a dry sump oiling system, a Waterman Bertha fuel pump, a Meziere billet flexplate and starter, a PST carbon-fiber driveshaft, and a 1.25-inch big shaft two-speed Turbo 400 from Extreme Automatics, as well as Strange Engineering brakes, Ron G canister radial rear shocks and spindle-mount front struts, Weld Racing Alpha double beadlocks, a Strange 3.89 ultra-light third-member, Moser 40-spline axles, and a laundry list more."
I guess Google Image Search really is that good. lol. Nice work, everyone who figured out what the car was.
the internet never fails
looks like you owe a lot of people more than a t shirt 🤣😂🤣😂
you challenged the internet, ive seen cars identified by broken pieces of bumper and individual marker lights
The hood gave you away. It's a pretty common sight.
There are internet folks who can identify a car based on some obscure piece of broken tail light lens, they are a force to be reckoned with
That hood was more of a giveaway than Fin thought it would be!
yes, that hood looks very familiar...
Basing the hood vents on my 2018 1LE, made a mistake
Oooooooohhhh my... 🤑 That crankshaft ! 😍
metal porn!
Even with a bad hoof still working in the garage
Respect!
Car guys can be persistent. I built a motorcycle with a halo on my head/shoulders after breaking my neck lol. I got bored sitting on the couch taking Dilaudid
That crankshaft is a work of art. 😎
Lexus LC 500 coupe, look at a picture under the hood they match!
Omg ur right i thought it was a mustang but windhield leans way to much
Oh snap!!! Somebody tell Cleetus and Mullet that there’s a new challenger approaching!!!
not with that motor
Cleetus is building a new car soon
That quality of work looks great! I’m sure it came with a hefty price tag but very excited for you! Way to go Finn
Finish the Caddy
No Kidding!!!!!!
Yeah, finish something.
AD-HD 😂
Yes 💯
All of you have never built a $100k+ purpose built race car . Takes lots of time an waiting on parts, waiting on his leg to heal .... or maybe pay attention to what he says then you might understand what he has going on pertaining to his projects. Morons
Late model car, the lane keep assist triangle in the windshield gave that away. Removable roof is weird. Can’t think of many cars that have that, but the REALLY low slung roof line and the underside and shape of that hood SCREAMS Lexus LC500
Dude has a literal magazines worth of project cars. Congrats man.
Heck yeah Mike let's getter this is going to be a beast for you congrats the new small tire can't wait for more videos on the car
Yes perfect blessing this summer day am new content from Mr Finnegan can't wait for future vids. My daughters and I love your stuff since days of roadkill hope you have a great day
OH aWESOME~! Another project that mike will never finish.
Hahaha!
FACT!!
In Mikes defence, no project is ever finished, they just find new homes
No racecar is ever finished, my brother
Mike, for future reference. One part of the body is all we needed to see, even the bottom of the hood produces results with a reverse image search.
That is a great looking engine.can’t wait to see the car on the track
ITS THE ROTSON! 😂
I so wish it was
Everybody's got you figured out Finn. You can show is now. 🤭 Gonna be a bad ass whip though. 🤘🏻
After seeing pictures of this car…. So much sicker than the caddy!!! I’m excited to see this done!
Nice pick, love the 4th gens.
The only surprising thing is that Mike actually thought no one in his audience would be able to guess the car.
HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT US. ITS EASY MONEY TO HIM
When I saw the full bottom of the hood, I was thinking there is no way there isn't someone who will recognize what it is.
A no prep race car ???
Weaponized autism of the internet strikes again.
Looks like a MR2
I don't even care about guessing what kind of car Camaro LOL The motor is absolutely fantastically beautiful two thumbs up on the engine Mr Finnegan it's bad to the bone
From my collision repair experience...it looks like an aluminum Lexus hood with the style of crush zones in the hood. Cool car. I like all the carbon fiber interior. Have fun!
Going to be EPIC when done
Wow nice way to spend 85K seen that dragzine article on Brandon Wilbur’s 2018 Lexus LC500 LET'S GO MIKE
Might be that lexus lc500 build that got scrapped
Hood gives it away, definitely is a lexus lc500
SHINY!
I mean, even the crankshaft 😮
Love the new trailer !😊
2018 Lexus lc500. FuelTech FTSpark8 CDI coils nice.
im thinking your spot on, t shirt plus goodies 4 u mate
Much love from Guam/ Washington state 🤙🏾🇬🇺🇺🇸🍻
I'm in Washington too... North Seattle area
@@1sicsrt Duvall here...
@@john242ti I know where that is...used to live there!
@@1sicsrt Cool. I'm about 4 miles up Big Rock Rd from the Safeway.
After seeing the inside and hearing details, i know exactly what it is and who had it before. Can't wait to see it finished.
Great content thanks for sharing
so doing a quick google, car is indeed a Lexus LC500 xD hood rubber/gasket matches up 1 for 1 and the interior doors line up to the shape on images.
That was @WilburFam LexusLC500, I'm from Australia.
This 👆
I agree
100% an lc500 hood
Mike Wilbur’s project he never finished fosho Lexus c500 it’s a badass car I hope you finish it soon.
Dudeee that fire walls a dead give away hey
Great idea Mike! I'm looking forward to your new drag n drive build but it still won't be as cool as your Caddy drag n drive.
Definitely a Lexus LC 500, trunk top edge with the wire boots missing is the dead giveaway.
That gonna one fast Aston Martin.
Or if you Google an image of a Lexus LC500 hood.....🤷🏻..... could be
Aston was my first guess as well.
Obviously a Chevette and I’m here for it!
C Vette for the win!
Yep, LC500. Could tell as soon as I saw the rear view mirror area. My folks have an LC500. I think yours may be slightly more awesome! Love the vids. Thank you.
Hey nice Supra Mike 👍🏼
supra or Lexus. I am with you on Supra but Gen 5.
The hood doesn't match a supra. Going by the underside pics.
i was thinking brz?
Lexus IS hood after the googling I did.
Not a supra, it's got Toyotas camera in the windshield which the supra doesn't have, and the hoods wrong for the mkv. Which means it's a Lexus. Probably the 500 others have mentioned.
Brandon Wilbur's 2018 LC500. Totally
you are so right!
I'm betting you're right.
I agree
The engine is dope! I would definitely love to have that crankshaft in a trophy display.
Cool. Time to get busy.
I've been thinking Supra ever since you showed a little part of the rear quarter panel several months ago.
same here!!!
Bro finish the caddy!!!
That's exactly what I was coming here to say... Instead of working on some piece of shit Supra finish the fucking Cadillac! I'm about one more shit video away from unsubscribing from this fucko...
Get to work and buy your own caddy to build
@@jaketayes3164 ok will do champ
If you don't shut up and let this man run a 6 lol 🤣
Being a lexus technician for 18yrs the shape of the hood and the hinges, for the pedestrian protection was my giveaway.
Supra . I know I’m speaking for everyone when I say what about the caddy?!! I guarantee it will get the most downloads yet! Either way you’re channel and Merlin’s are my favorite. 👍thanks Mike.
nah, he needs another one. 20 cars, none can make a full pass down the track, but yup get another one! LOL i dig most of em, but he needs to get after 1 or 2 of them and get them right.
It's a lexus
if it was supra plenty of people would guess it just from the hood shape. it's a lexus lc500
@@Jason-vy2tj lxa
The caddy will be an 8.50 or slower car and he said in the video he can't work on it because he physically can't manage doing fab right now.
A 90s camry drag week car would be amazing.
Love the way the LC500 looks, and as a tube chassis car it looks sick
LC 500's are so sick looking! Especially as a drag car!
It's it a Lexus LC500?
Holden or Aussie ford falcon
Nice motor looks light too
This thing is going to be epic.
Never seen one on the street? I didn't even know what it was.
Not Supra or Mustang
Isn't the most excellent, not finished, Cadillac supposed to be your race week car????
1/2 mile car
Land speed car
Holy cow love that motor you sure it ain't a pro mod😂❤have a great week guy's 👍 💪🏼🇺🇸🔥
Google didnt let us down. Thats a sexy looking ride
the car is a mid 90's NASCAR series
Not even close…
94-98 Supra
Turbos mount low, behind the front wheels, usually because of ease getting the primaries there, and fender exits behind the front tires. Makes the exhaust as light as possible. Headers in stainless, and after turbo in aluminum (methanol is a wonderful fuel).
If you want to put them up front instead, it makes it a bit harder to street drive.
LC 500 I found the hood using google lens took me straight to one on Ebay. We got love for you brother
Don't you have quite a few unfinished projects already? Maybe focus on getting the Cadillac finished before starting a new project for starter's 😁
So is the struggle of the car guy.
I bet you got a whole yard full of 3rd gen Camaros and square body Chevy pick ups 🤣🤣🤣
I totally agree unfortunatly
Grow up
I know exactly what it is. Lexus lc500
You can tell that this car was set up to put the weight where it needs to be. Smart planning and building.
I was going to guess, but I would have been wrong. I was thinking it was newer challenger. You have an awesome show! Take care and good luck with all your projects.
Lexus lc500
I’m an X-LARGE and wife is a medium
You got it first. Nice 👍
@@obsidian.... wonder if I will get a prize
@@allenlane5018 I would hope so
Almost looks like a kit car of some sort. Maybe a early Daytona kit on a fabbed chassis. Otherwise its the retired Oscar Meyer's wiener mobile.
Damn that’s a gorgeous engine! I can’t drive since I had a brain aneurysm and I’d be a total hazard on the road. Oh, and I can’t be in a car without being terrified since everything is moving and my brain is unhappy about that, so going 200 mph is just inconceivable for me. Have fun with it Mike.
That song was awesome!
Lexus lc500 second guess. I watched several shows in the last few years. I think you are very entertaining. Have a great life.
SO SICK!
Great Lexus build . ❤ 🔥
Love your content mike. The lexus is going to be sick but can't wait for the caddy hope that leg heals quick brother
good work guys, looks like mike has allot of tshirts to send out.
Lexus LC 500!! That will be a sweet ride
I wish it was ya corvette keen as to see that build get underway
Nice Promod Camaro!
Lexus or Audi from the look of the bottom of the hood and the shape. Can’t wait to see it! Love this channel!
Very nice!
Lexus LC I think that's it. My first thought was a Fiero removable roof. But the Lexus is a longer car. Mike do what makes you happy. Finish what you want to finish.
Hope to see ya'll at Southeast Street & Yeet
That should be a great small tire car!
As soon as I saw the underside of the bonnet, I knew it was a Toyota quick search found Lexus LC500. Can't wait to see this thing
The coil layout is a dead giveaway. This is a bad ass car. For this im glad the caddy is on hold.
the cats out of the bag Mike, lets see that Lexus...
I dig the time lapse music.
Either a Lexus or a Toyota awsome light cars hope u have lots of fun and make good memories with it also keep it safe and keep up the awsome videos I look forward to many many more!!!!!!!!!
2018 Lexus...nice car! I worked for Lexus of Seattle.
Brandon Wilbur’s Lexus LC 500 awesome to see this Car in finnegans garage 🤟🏼
Lexus lc 500! That was hard man!
Looks like a late model got maybe. Can’t wait!!
LC 500 for sure gonna be sweet
510 is still there ... good
One of dem there front mount blowers!
Really cool build. Can't figure out what kinda car it is. Lol ... love your channel. I'm london ontario Canada. Keep em coming. All the best.
