Today on The Skid Factory, Al finishes off the exhaust and sets up the column shift to work with our @HughesPerformance TH700 Gearbox. We then set up the @haltech Elite 950 and set the ignition timing before firing the Iron Lion Into Life!!

I am a Dad. It was a good one. Never change Al. Never change....
Exactly never ever change lol
I don't know why people complain about dad jokes. What are we supposed to do, drop f-bombs and make sex jokes around our kids?
Project Binky => Brackets
Skid Factory => Flanges

BFE 08 WRXSTI “nutserts” is just not correct. Woody needs some educating.
How about a gusset?
@@damienwalker1026 YES!! Gussets!
Damien Walker nutserts are correct, grow up.
When your stressed out ,feeling frustrated, WWTYD(What Would Turbo Yoda Do). The guy is always so chill. Seriously wish i had his zen. Or is that editing magic....
Al for PM. Turbo Stimulus for Budget '20, '21.
A lot easier to be chill when it’s not your budget.
Stressful to work on + also hitting my wallet = no chill.
@@mattsnyder4754 Not really man, having the responsibility of spending others money wisely is very stressful.
Definitely 10 out of 10 for Zen. 10% perspiration, 110% inspiration to us all. It must hurt being that good. Al is cool as husky’s p@$$.
@@mattsnyder4754 yeeeee nahnahnah
D for maximum respect 😂 haven't seen that shit in years
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM
D for Drag, R for backwards, N for Nitrous.
'R' is for race. No doubt you've heard the tales weaved based on that joke.
Where was that from?? Cannot find anything online about it
“They doodoo off the shelf....”
yoda 2019
Legend.
Al’s explanations of everything in such a simple manner are a real highlight of the show
By the way Al I love the spark plug wire dreads
Rasta Mouse
Predator
"Clearanced the floor" Love how you make it sound so elegant. Me - "I smashed the fu*K out of the floor to make the zaust fit." 😂
Zaust, like that. 10/10
Yeah nah nah yeah nah -Mike Nolan 😂😂😂
Always cash in hand!
pokes, smokes, blokes and some free cokes.
Yeah yeah yeah nar
Going out this long weekend an throw the tinny in for fish.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
It's just not the same with out big lez .
Yeah nah nah yeah nah nah
17:03 Al the new Predator. Watch out for Arnie coming in off the plains 😀
Loved that, such a good look for Turbo Yoda :D
I will never forget, back in the day I was given a 1976 Buick Skylark base model sedan with an Olds 260 4.3L V8 with a TH200 Hydramatic and a Rochester 2 bbl, and that car was an absolute turd. It had 34k original miles. I would put oil on the passenger side rear tire and do brake stands with it...lmfao Those same old ladies gave my uncle a 1970 Dodge Dart Custom with a 225 slant six, a 3 speed auto, and it had 16k original miles on it...and a black vinyl top. I pulled that Olds 260 and put a SBC 400 with a Weiand dual tunnel ram intake two Holley Dominator 800s on it with velocity stacks and a Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher. I also replaced the highway gears with a 3.83 rear end. That car was really fast, even though it weighed close to 5000 lbs. I wish I had chosen the Dart...I'm a Dodge guy at heart.
Cant wait to put a 5.0 304 back into my VP. ( opera house edition ) and make videos on it
D for maximum respect stickers!!!
Well Done Guys.
Maximum respect is also obtainable by sticking it in neutral then flooring it then smashing it into D.
Great work! Thank you guys!!
Thong Slapper. What an apt description for a late 308 exhaust noise.
Actual exhaust fabricator here, That makes my eyes bleed. Bash the floor to make it fit?
Congrats on your hard work paying off great job y'all do awesome work. I miss doing builds in my dad and uncle shop love your channel keep up the awesome work mate's
Best channel ever. I wait for every episode. Always happy to see what's next
Keep up the hard work. Awesome show guys!
The *Iron Lion* has awoken from its slumber.
The face AL pulls when he gives it a bit at the end so good
Thanks for the new ep lads 👌
G'day from West Australia, guy's and good stuff, first large hurdle crossed😉🙂👍👍
Great job guys 🙌 I LOVE THE CAR💪much love from Detroit 👍 Great editing Woody THANX
Great episode! Can't wait for the dyno video!!
Been loving this series
Props for not editing out the tap. Sounds like problem in one of the lifter to valve path components.
Yeah all fixed now, sounds mint.
Awesome as always
26:08 Woody making Al do things for the Gram! 🤣🤣
ok i think this channel is now my favorite.
Iron lion sounds good cant wait till its running right and rolling
Cool dreads like an predator. Loved drag week footage. Hello from Missouri.
Love the eastern Koel calling in the yard. Noisy bloody things they are, but not as noisy as the Lion.....
rock on roll guys, really good work !
well done gents great build love your work
Nice job Al as always 👍
Good stuff!
Al, you bowed to the Lion I’m in shock
I thought this was a great vid. Nice job Al! And nice job Woody putting it altogether.
17:00 - 17:10 that moment when Turbo Yoda turns into Dave Lister from Red Dwarf!
Good on ya Woody for getting Al to say that opening line......
Good stuff
You need to have a power window on the passenger rear. You can turn the radio off and catch the note when you are off for a cruise!
Bang on re the exhaust, 3" single is the way to go on a 304/308
2.5 inch in to single 3 inch sounds good, I like the combined sound. I find that 1.6-1.7mm(.065 - .070 inch) exhaust tubing gives better quality of sound(thicker wall).
Yep nice one fellas
Nice work guys :)
You guys are legends! Love every episode.
Good to hear Al make sure everyone knows never rev a new motor as well as never start a new motor without coolant ... and then do it anyway 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Shout out to mike nolan. Always with us, shining down like an angel from above...
Nolsey's still with us, it's Big Lez thats shining down, hopefully alongside Robert G Barret! ;)
nice work guys......
Sorry Al I'm knackered, I'll have to watch tomorrow. Night all
That "Tool Pro" ratchet seems to be doin ok....
MikMech I’ve been watching very closely also.......
The real question is does the Milwaukee 12v fit cause they look identical??
Exhausting job
Awesome job gents you both deserve a lemon squash 👌
ive seen a few of these with adapted commodore ute column shifters to suit the th700
Pro-Cameraman skills achieved. Woody, you're full time editor now.
If you don't have stainless laying around PVC pipe works well as mockup driveshaft
Sitting with a laptop and sweeting love the sunny coast
Nice! Always good 👍👍👌
Awesomeness
Nice pacemaker fellas.
I remember the valiants with the push button autos 'D' for DRAG lol
IT's ALIVE
Love a good long weekend! hahaha
rasta Al so cool man
Spark plug mullet ftw!
Al is the go fasta Rasta.
That rear muffler running around that rear diff it looks like its touching the body which is going to make vibration and also get the body very hot , possibly some sort of alloy heat shield needs to be put there
17:03 Why hello there Mr Lister, sir I see the race reconfiguration process has been a great success!
Bwwwaahhhaaa, well done mate, was just about to say words to that effect, but you beat me too it!
27:04 AL's face when it makes noise 👌
Hey Alan and woody would you guy be interested in doing a power Cruze car one day I’m kind of curious what car you would use and drivetrain setups ? I live in Vancouver bc and we don’t have anything like that and I would love to see it .
Maybe check with the custom hotrod truck scene in America. They have column shifter that will work well.
I believe LMC truck in the US has such kits.
Uses metric Verniers, "I make it about 2 Inches".... love it!
@ChrisHallett83 Yes, that is correct. I was more amused at the use of the Verniers for guesstimating the size. It's cool to see Al winging it and taking us through his thought process
Mad dreads bro! :D
Just got home from getting sacked...
At least I have a fridge full of beer and new Skid Factory
Chin up bro & cheers new day tomorrow
@@Ken-fisho new day doesn't pay my mortgage or bills
@@TheTobes99 words for encouragement but if u dont want that u can sob then
I love the old "Three on the Tree"
MikMech it’s a must with a bench seat
@@gdawwg1125 Not correct! I had a HQ 308 van when they were new with 4 speed and bench seat. First car in the Deakership with a KM speedo.
@@garybailey8877 sorry i mean the column shifter in general . i mean its cool with a bench seat
@@gdawwg1125 That's cool. They didn't do floor shift autos with bench seat. My van was factory 308 m21 4speed lsd. Optioned gts dash cluster, Armrests, Heavy duty battery. Couldn't option gts steering wheel!!!! It came with 735/14 BF Goodrich cross ply tyres??? Drove it from the Dealership in Caboulture Queensland to Margate, about 20 ks. Jacked it up in the back yard and fitted a set of Globe bathurst mags and radial tyres and went cruising. Great car
Nice
Stuff work.. im watching this
S is clearly for Skids.
loved the BoM pressie woodie check the ls swapped toyota estate
you can adjust that needle on the auto quadrant ,its driven by a cord and if you look under the honey pot you will see a phillps screw ,just loosen that and move the clip left or right.
Thanks for the info man, always learning.
7:10 those look like some pretty fresh tats
We need a build review vid. 😂
Finally, someone that doesn't slather anti seize on spark plugs.
They live in Australia they don't need to, if you live in a rust belt Area it might be a good Idea.
Modern plugs the coatings are pretty good and most heads are aluminum now. Certainly helps. If you ever do put it on, you should technically use the expensive Nickel stuff.
@@mbsnyderc They live in a tropical area of QLD... Plenty of potential rust! Australia is a big place ;-)
he put stuff on it,whether it was anti seize or willy wankers coporium of assorted crap ihnfi
@@802Garage vn=vt v8's like this are iron blocks iron heads
I have a 63 holden eh that was factory Column shift auto but was converted to 5 speed celiac gear box in the 90s and I’m not converting it back because it’s to much work plus finding the parts will be hard and it’s a mod they did back in the day . It’s going to be all factory except the 5 Speed Manual . I’m sure AL loves the old school Holdens . especially that Holdens are no longer selling commodores anymore there going SUV and 4wd utes only
Approximately 9:00 .... Who else knows how far one or two inches are? I do, and so does Al!!! .... Unless you live i the US or another imperial country......
Inches and Feet still hold value, it's a measurement that is easy to imagine... Although I still measure everything in milliimetres ? ... Mad World
I always thought it was D for Drag, S for speed then R for race;)
Love a good Dad joke Al
My 78 firebird was S for Super gear
Yeah na na na yeah na
Man! Spark plug lead dreads were hectic
12:26 Checking drive linkages....
Reminds of classic farm scene from 1st TMNT movie with Donatello and Casey Jones.
Another great episode boys, Thanks.
on a 57 oldsmobile the S was called Super.
NebukedNezzer I was gonna say, the manual on my 72 vista cruiser calls the S super as well. Something about about holding till a higher RPM before shifting gears.
@@jordanrichardson127 kind of like sport mode today.
Thumbs up for the opening dad joke 👍 need more dad jokes 😁
Yeah na yeah cool!
Dad joke in the intro, pressed "like" immediately.
How about the Koel going off in the background of the vid at the start, calling out for a mate to bonk, gotta love the east coast in early summer.
Al / 10 for the dad joke 😂👌
17:00 Yeah mon
Hey have you thought about using a vr/vs Commodore Ute column shift assortment ?
