It's in the name of the freakin car you Dufus...BOTTLE Rocket. BOTTLE....that refers to the NITROUS bottle in the trunk. Pretty much the entire premise that this project and car were built around...that's why it's in the NAME....
That 318 woulda hung both tires if it had frame connectors i bet! The amount of twist was incredible!! Tony absolutely PROVED the 318 suffers from nothing but propaganda!!
Good Stuff Tony! I got flashbacks of Dave and Judy Boertman's "Rod Shop" '71 Coronet wagon as you launched...same left-tire dangle and all! That 429 "Boss - Nine" small block conversion mill looks pretty exotic. Haven't heard of it, need to Google them now. Good Stuff guys! -Steve Magnante
Wow, got to hand it to you Tony. I never thought you could take him. Never underestimate an old gear head racer even if he is in a POS four door 72 Satellite with a 318. You explained getting the right converter, pulling all you could from the heads, etc. etc. You did it. Great job, very impressive.
What kind of a POS do you drive? Just because something has a small block with four doors and is a little rough on the outside doesn't make it a POS moron!
Got to say this was worth the wait. Hate to see anybody lose this one but Andy was doing it right with as much power as he had,don't redlight, don't scald the tires, pick him up on the big end. Barely ran out of track. This is how it should have been! Congrats to you both. (Don't race him again Tony! Lol!)
Stagger Proof , don't race him again ? Why not ? Might have to use the SECOND kit , tho . . . . (What , you didn't know there's a second kit ? NOBODY knows , that's the point ! )
Nah see how bottle rocket weight transfers. Casper will burn the tires off trying to match that 60ft. 1/8th mile never catch ‘em haha hell ya. Mopar for the win!
This is a HUGE win- not just the race. Tony earned it and that he and his channel deserves it. History of drivers without gear banging savy, parts breakage and other misfortunes. This is awesome! And yes I know that Casper dialed in will be a lot quicker. Congrats to Andy and Casper as they are an asset to our hobby as well.
Bottle Rocket just might get quicker , too ! That was with a plate . Imagine a 2-stage with fogger nozzles . . . Plus , there are more places that Bottle Rocket could develop holes , or components that could be lighter. Remember , if you throw it up in the air , and it comes back down , its STILL too heavy !
Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!! (BABBVO law in EU, HESCHLAVVO law in Switzerland and SMÖRVERBIDEN in Sweden)
@@SchlipperschlopperGood luck trying that in the US... people will riot lmao. Our economy is turning to shit... gov't can't force millions of people to purchase EV's that they not only don't want but can't afford. Not to mention that modifying ICE vehicles is a HUGE part of our culture.

NO fancy dance pricey parts NO high compression engine NO rebuilt /engine bearings! NO fancy dancey suspension long live the legend of the 318. Tony proved it, for very little money, alot of wisdom, ya gotta believe the 318 is the little engine that COULD and DID. NO ONE that sees this will ever doubt the 318 is a great engine, especially in the right hands! Tony did MOPAR proud- REALLY opened some eyes with this one. And yes, he treed him, but with 111 less cubes, less compression, BUT with nitrous, it was a fair handicap. And that Ford was definitely comin'- Andy got caught out the hole a little bit, but he was STILL flying! GREAT RACE!
The fact that BR still ran and drove is what's really impressive. Love you guys, love the cars (and trucks), and am really glad this race finally got to happen! It's the taxi cab that could.
I normally don’t comment but man I’ve been waiting for this. Thanks unc for keeping the budget/ordinary guy alive and biggest thing is you don’t need fancy parts to have fun.
In the 80's and 90's lots of guys just ran 318's and 360's with nitro and ran 11's all day..Nothing to radical to the engines either..Reminds me of that.
What I really would like to see is a medium to low cost high rpm build, high hp is an easy goal compared to high rpm..I don't know why but these youtube channels and TV shows almost never build high rpm stuff. Nothing beats the glorious sound of a NA small block spinning 9k.. would be interesting to see how close you can get with a modest budget.
@@davidgalea6113 rpm is more expensive always... Valve train and moving assembly must be very light and strong..... Peraphs if wey had russian titanium cheap parts...
My uncle use to say, you could have all the motor and power and you still could loose a race, its how you drive,That was awesome, baddass bottle rocket, Tony puts a lot of work into this.
Did pretty well for a 318 but that 7.60 1/8th would be a low 12 high 11 in the 1/4 mile which is still a second off his goal of 10s. Hopefully he can get it there eventually.
My most anticipated race of the year, for sure. Way to go Uncle Tony. Make the most of what you have. With the knowledge part being the most of what you had. My first car was a 72 Hemi Orange Duster. Blacked out hood with orange strips going up the center. Black duster stripes going across the sides. A 318 with a manual 3 speed and a 3:23 8 3/4 rear end. My father thought the 318 would be a better engine for a beginner driver at 16. We bought the car in Kannapolis NC in 1976. But for my next 2 years in High School I slowly built that 318 up with help from my friends. 340 heads. Cam Dynamic cam. Headman headers. Edlebrok 4 bbl. intake. Carter 750 cam carb. Zoom clutch. I had the quickest car in school. Many stoplight races to earn the title. The town was full of really powerful cars. So I was far from the fastest in town. But that 318 held its own and earned me some coin on the weekend. I bought all the parts myself and worked many long hours to afford the car junkie habit. Great win for the lowly under estimated 318. Long live the 318. And Uncle Tony, remember “ we are old guys, we do stuff”. Thank you sir for your great channel.
GOOD JOB TONY!!!! Not gonna lie, the Ford guy in me was rooting for Casper, but it was a pleasant surprise to see Bottle Rocket hold off that badass SBF! You fuckin' nailed that light dead-nuts!
I'm loving the old street racer rhetoric. Reminds me of when I used to hang out at the street races in Detroit back in the 90s. I'm only a few minutes in
In the late 70s a speed shop specializing in van side pipes was having a going out of business sale, a young Tony couldn't resist checking it out, over on a shelf set a Marvin Miller nitrous kit, young Tony was mesmerized by the shiny stainless steel tubing and color coded solenoids emanating from the plate, he had to have it! For years Tony prized his nitrous kit, waiting for only the right car to build around his nitrous kit, finally a 4 door 318 Mopar appeared before his eyes, he knew this Mopar would be built around this nitrous kit...................................
Holy Jesus! I had no Idea how far along Tony has brought ole Bottle Rocket! He also cut one hell of a light. I am impressed beyond belief. Good job guys. Very cool video. So sorry Andy, it is a long drive back to SC with your wallet much lighter. Cheers from Motown.
I think Tony hated taking Andy's money! I seriously think Tony expected to not to win. He cut that light I mean, sliced and diced that light. Had to be just this side of a red light.
And this folks exemplifies why Plan-Z is full of holes. Andy said it best "Lean and Mean". To be honest I was rooting for Tony (it's an underdog thing I have). But, it went exactly as my prediction. First rig out of the dig. UTG bashers need to take note: the left front tire on BR gets in the air TWICE! That is not Lunar's 318! (With mostly factory parts). Also note: Tony hugged a Dude! That tells a great story! Two awesome guys. This was worth the wait. Not to take away from Andy with this post. I love what he shares and contributes. Both on UMG, and along side the great DV. I have learned volumes. I'm just a huge UT fan because he caters to the "real world". Anybody can go fast with $$$$. Going fast with your mind is the real challenge. With the most rewarding, meaningful results.
Tony, I am a Dodge man from the 70s, but my love has been the big blocks, but have a lot of respect for the 340. The 318 always was super reliable so I relegated it to great taxis, but never a drag car. I didn't give you a one in ten chance of winning that race. When you left the line my jaw hit my chest. Absolutely, loved it. You are the man. Fantastic!
I'm impressed by the confidence on display by UT. How many people would bet on the 318 Satellite against that hemi-head Ford? Even with the nitrous, UT appeared to be a serious underdog, but he showed us all what's what.
I didn’t think Tony could deliver, but he proved me wrong as soon as that tire lifted off the line! Impressive launch and a full pass and he drove it back onto the trailer at the end. Good job Uncle Tony!
As we join our heroes, "Story Time with Andy and Tony" is about to begin. Glad to see Tony observing the old traditions by breaking something new on Bottle Rocket with every visit to the track. Looking forward to the post-mortem on the trans. Great fun! Thank you for posting this.
Never underestimate the "lowly" 318! I built one for my '73 Roadrunner when it was new and consistently blew the doors off 📴 cars with much bigger mills than mine many times. It was a BLAST back in the day! Wish I could find Mr. Peabody and his Wayback Machine!!!!!
Well if that isn’t the biggest FU to the haters… a home built 318 in a land yacht slaying a mighty boss 429. There’s your Mission Impossible lol Well done old man!
I don't know which I enjoyed more, the smak talk, the flat out lies, or the race.😂😄😁 THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Great friggin Video UTG, hope to see more content like this 1.
Went pretty much as I expected - UT had Bottlerocket sorted for 60 foot and got the jump on the tree. That 700 HP showed up at the finish line on Casper. Good fun - glad I finally got to see it.
Great race, Congrats Tony! Keep showing these southern guys how we do it from Staten Island! And the trash talk before the race was RELENTLESS & PRICELESS....
Excellent race guys! Was expecting some shrapnel from the little 318 running on the suicide tune up, but glad to see it held together to fight another day!!!
Back in the ‘80s my buddy had a 1970 Dart Swinger, primered, slammed with aggressive rake and Mopar rally wheels stuffed up under it, reverse manual tranny w/ nasty shift kit, 4.10 gears and a nasty 318 with 340 heads, purple camshaft and that sumbitch was just awesome. That car made more of an impression on me as a teenager in 1987-88. That car was/is the epitome of Hotrodding in my brain lol #MuscleCarTimeMachine ❤
I have enjoyed you sharing all of your low buck how to videos. This race was eye opening to me. Obviously your drag racing experience runs deep. That car is a giant killer of a sleeper !!! Keep the videos coming, both of you .
I love bottle rocket, reminds me of an old montana highway patrol car, though they had 440 pi motors. The color is even right. I am a die hard ford guy but there is something about a 70's fury. had a couple of buddies that had retired mhp 440 pi's headers and nos, frickin things would run 160 easily.
The first 60ft wins the race...especially in the 1/8th!! Cut a very good light,car did what it was meant to do off the line, you always said that was your strategy! Now what happened in 2nd gear gotta find out what happened! Reminds me of when I raced pretty much stock 3.91 geared 340 A bodies with my stock 440 B body with either 3.23's or 3.55 gearing..If the A body hooked and got the light and I spun and or slept on the light I ran them down by the 1/8th and it was bye bye 340 A body my 440 B body then walked them..Andy was getting you but didn't :) Andy seems like a good guy,maybe he needs a 318 in that Ford!!
Congratulations Uncle Tony! That thing flew a lot more than I thought it would, I knew you had a good chance, but man that thing moved for a 4 door B body! You sure know how to build a sweet budget hot rod, I'm glad you finally got that race.
As great as the actual race was, I enjoyed the pre-race banter just as much. Reminded me of many late-night side-of-the-road conversations in my younger days.
Take the Nitrous off and you will lose all day long.
It's in the name of the freakin car you Dufus...BOTTLE Rocket. BOTTLE....that refers to the NITROUS bottle in the trunk. Pretty much the entire premise that this project and car were built around...that's why it's in the NAME....

You won on reaction time ! That's what racing is all about ! Proud of you bro !
True that! The guy in the truck was sound asleep at the light. Surprised someone didn't go over and bang on his window, LOL
Yup that Dodge left the line literally like a rocket. Impressive!
That thing shot out of the hole like a cannon paisano! Nice job fellers👍
My mouth dropped when he left the hole. Good job UT.
He sprayed that Dodge like a scared skunk in a cow pasture....

I didn’t think Tony could deliver, but he proved me wrong as soon as that tire lifted off the line! Impressive launch and a full pass and he drove it back onto the trailer at the end. Good job Uncle Tony!
Been waiting for this for so long, it was great to see you guys finally hit the track! And what a race!
As we join our heroes, "Story Time with Andy and Tony" is about to begin. Glad to see Tony observing the old traditions by breaking something new on Bottle Rocket with every visit to the track. Looking forward to the post-mortem on the trans. Great fun! Thank you for posting this.
Totally awesome! 318 with reversed pistons!!
Never underestimate the "lowly" 318! I built one for my '73 Roadrunner when it was new and consistently blew the doors off 📴 cars with much bigger mills than mine many times. It was a BLAST back in the day! Wish I could find Mr. Peabody and his Wayback Machine!!!!!
The 318 and the 400 are always under estimated. 318s are tough and can make power. Just have to massage them.
Well if that isn’t the biggest FU to the haters… a home built 318 in a land yacht slaying a mighty boss 429. There’s your Mission Impossible lol
Well done old man!
Fun race! Bear in mind however the "429" ran both quicker e.t. and faster mph according to the time slip.
@@bigc6310 yes, I grasp that.
Cool that they ran a close race and in the 7s
@@bigc6310 yessir, it was a great race!
@@bigc6310 all that matters is who made it across that finish line first
I don't know which I enjoyed more, the smak talk, the flat out lies, or the race.😂😄😁 THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Great friggin Video UTG, hope to see more content like this 1.
Thank you Uncle Tony thank you so very much.
I talked my fair share of trash, I was humbled. Congrats it left the line scary hard.
If you don't hold a lit cigarette in the same hand with your torch when heating your Nitrous, the bottle won't get hot enough...
Went pretty much as I expected - UT had Bottlerocket sorted for 60 foot and got the jump on the tree. That 700 HP showed up at the finish line on Casper. Good fun - glad I finally got to see it.
Great race from both of you, how it should be, old time racing, thank you both!
Great race, Congrats Tony! Keep showing these southern guys how we do it from Staten Island! And the trash talk before the race was RELENTLESS & PRICELESS....
Great race and that launch was a big deal sending it. Way to go both of you and make the start of an excellent year!
Excellent race guys! Was expecting some shrapnel from the little 318 running on the suicide tune up, but glad to see it held together to fight another day!!!
Spectacular race! Congrats to both of you.
Back in the ‘80s my buddy had a 1970 Dart Swinger, primered, slammed with aggressive rake and Mopar rally wheels stuffed up under it, reverse manual tranny w/ nasty shift kit, 4.10 gears and a nasty 318 with 340 heads, purple camshaft and that sumbitch was just awesome. That car made more of an impression on me as a teenager in 1987-88. That car was/is the epitome of Hotrodding in my brain lol
#MuscleCarTimeMachine ❤
Congrats on a great day racing. It seems that you both want to tune and run again, Let us know when the rematch will happen.
as a mopar guy i always hated the 1971-1974 B-Body especially the 4 door. leave it to Tony to make me fall in love with Bottle Rocket!!!!!!!!!!!
That IDLE sounds so COLD! 🧊 ❄️ ☃️
Awesome. So glad they both made it down the track too. If the pistons weren't in that 318 backwards casper wouldve caught it
Always see you working, so it is fun to see you driving Tony.
That 318 has NOS and magic
That was closer than I thought it would be.
I have enjoyed you sharing all of your low buck how to videos. This race was eye opening to me. Obviously your drag racing experience runs deep. That car is a giant killer of a sleeper !!! Keep the videos coming, both of you .
I love bottle rocket, reminds me of an old montana highway patrol car, though they had 440 pi motors. The color is even right. I am a die hard ford guy but there is something about a 70's fury. had a couple of buddies that had retired mhp 440 pi's headers and nos, frickin things would run 160 easily.
WAY TO GO Uncle Tony! Cathy, great job filming the race. Fun to watch. John & Catherine from Tacoma, WA
Tree master for the win. AND it didn't break. Double win.
Damn tony is quick on the light, man that dodge hopped up and took off. The ford was no joke. He almost caught him
The first 60ft wins the race...especially in the 1/8th!!
Cut a very good light,car did what it was meant to do off the line, you always said that was your strategy! Now what happened in 2nd gear gotta find out what happened!
Reminds me of when I raced pretty much stock 3.91 geared 340 A bodies with my stock 440 B body with either 3.23's or 3.55 gearing..If the A body hooked and got the light and I spun and or slept on the light I ran them down by the 1/8th and it was bye bye 340 A body my 440 B body then walked them..Andy was getting you but didn't :)
Andy seems like a good guy,maybe he needs a 318 in that Ford!!
That was awesome! Love to see it. Big smiles all around. I’m not a true car guy, I just like ‘em, but I’ve always had a thing for 318s.
Crazy fast. The guy with the mop has balls.
I have a 71 Coronet, this one is a 73 i believe I never see any love for the four doors! Great to see
Congratulations Uncle Tony! That thing flew a lot more than I thought it would, I knew you had a good chance, but man that thing moved for a 4 door B body! You sure know how to build a sweet budget hot rod, I'm glad you finally got that race.
As great as the actual race was, I enjoyed the pre-race banter just as much. Reminded me of many late-night side-of-the-road conversations in my younger days.
Never underestimate the old guys…with knowledge…
