Thank you David! I truly appreciate the positive support and inspiring comments. This makes me happy to see others are enjoying the content. no tricks, no gimmicks just a couple dudes who have a passion for cars and a untold story. My goal is to document as much as possible and get it out there for everyone to enjoy. No tuff guys, bad attitudes or drama in my videos. Thank you very much for the inspiring comments. Happy New Year! Greg Quirin
When sharing their experience with others you see no pride or arrogance in sharing their lives.a true testament to their contentment with where they are in life.
I watch these vids, and all i can think of is how a man Named Burt Munro and his hand built land speed record holding 1000cc Indian motorcycle. I just love this kind of stuff. These guys have made many offers to the God of Speed.
Love that lift .function over form .these guys are great masters.it would be an honor for any one to work with these guys.most people only dream about 1 percent of what they have done.a true sign of integrity and a gift of god.
God. Love the peace that they work with.none ofthe reality show that drama.true craftsmanship.the difference between a boy and a man.a boy says I can't do this . A man says I can do all things through christ which strengthen us.god bless You for sharing your knowledge.
That's cool how they made the multiple piece head. A friend of mine is developing an overhead conversion for a flathead Dodge engine and I told him to make it this way. Thanks for documenting all this cool stuff.
Greg, thank you so much for all these videos. Growing up reading magazines (remember those?) I've always had a thirst for automotive mechanics and engineering. These send my mind into overdrive.
That is awesome! Thank you for watching I remember in high school we were required to read in English class (I'm not a novel guy) so my preferred book was the Chilton manual or Hotrod magazine. I recall having to plea with my teacher that I was reading for practical information that would be useful so that I could fix my car.
Looking at the drive shaft and U-joint angles. Aren't they out of phase the way they are set up? Asking because I have a similar situation and was thinking I needed to correct it.
Why would anyone make a bet like that? With enough money and a smart person and a crazy person anything is possible. And sometimes the smart person is also the crazy person.
I've been going to Bonneville for years helping out many racers in the pits all I can say is if you've ever in your life wanted to go out & watch, race, help get out there SOON! because the avarage age of EVERYBODY out there is 60 I'm not kidding & not one single person under 30 ANYWHERE it's a dying sport & these guys are the last ones on earth that have the brains & drive to keep doing it till they die & that's not very far away for most of them I hate to say
@Jeff r, I know what your saying. I work in education here in San Diego and have been in the Vocational side of education for 24 years now. I started teaching auto shop and I am still in a supporting role in the management of our last 5 remaining automotive programs here in San Diego School District. A good friend of mine Steve Ford is in a similar role in the LA area and he is promoting automotive technical careers. Sadly he told me today that there are 181 high schools in LA Unified School District (664,774 students) and only 6 or 7 of them are offering auto shop as an elective class for high school students. LA being the car capital of the United States this is a problem. Automotive/technical careers are not embraced in society anymore and the current system usually only promotes higher education and does very little to prepare our future workforce for high demand high paying skilled trades type careers. I'm hopeful in some of my future videos to discuss the valid concern with supporters such as you who understand the importance of keep the car culture alive and help educate parents and counselors that automotive technicians, plumbers, electricians, construction, welders and many other skill trades type careers are sustainable, and high paying high demand jobs. Sorry for the long explanation. I'm just a bit concern about this problem as well. Happy New Year! Greg

The GoPro 10 is freaking Amazing - It has been a game changer for this race season. The telemetry is very accurate for measuring speed for the land speed records. The image stabilization make the videos smooth and the resolution and super high quality. I highly recommend the GoPro 10 or 9 . I have booth and I found that the 10 is best for inside the race car at 250+ MPH I would recommend GoPro all day long. Simply the best tool for documenting and amateur video . Every single video I have on RUclips is done on a GoPro 9 or 10.

@ZIGgassedUp - I'm a mixed nuts car guy, I was an automotive technician for many years, then went into technical education teaching automotive classes to high school students in San Diego. For the last 14 years I have been working in the central office for Career Technical Education (Formerly Vocational Education) I manage 5 automotive training programs and several other skilled trades type programs such a machine tool and construction technology and many more. I support approximately 60 teachers. I like solving problems with my hands using a scan tool, DVOM, dial caliper and hand tools. The dynamics of hand-on skilled trade type careers is very difficult to attract the younger generation, which is our future workforce. I enjoy highlighting the skill set and unique talents in the automotive industry however the interest in these video's I make are primary older men between the ages of 50 and 80 years old according to the analytics RUclips provides me. It would be cool if there were more younger people interested in keeping the car culture alive.
The Ardun heads are over head valves that uses pushrods with a single camshaft, however, they are not overhead camshafts such as the one Pete and Kevin made for the Flathead Ford.
Several OEM's do/or have in the past, but the standard now is to have the reluctor pressed onto the crank, as there is the least amount of harmonic torsional variation and the most accurate timing event possible.
Right on, thanks for bringing this up. I have noticed the word "motor" is a common saying in North America, and I hear both terms "engine" and "motor" used in-and-around the shop. I would say that from what I hear, both words are used amongst automotive technicians and people to reference the internal combustion engine/motor under the hood. However, I think in other parts of the world, the word "motor" is the translation for engine. For example, in Spanish the engine is called " El Motor," in French the engine is called "Le Moteur," in German it is "Das Motor," and Italian "il motore." Seems that the word Motor is more common in Latin based languages, however I'm no expert in linguistics. Maybe I should reach out to KPBS and ask "A Way With Words" and see what they say? Thanks Greg
Adam, I will try, They were milling the lower portion of the block recently for the 2 liter. When Kevin makes a new block or head I will hopefully have time to set up the GoPro using the time-lapse feature and make a vid of the process.
@@daos3300 I'm a passionate car guy and educator working with the high school automotive and engineering programs for a large school district. I really enjoy sharing knowledge to every and anyone. This past year I started helping Pete and Kevin out at the races and helping the team document their success on the race track with a GoPro. After posting a few race videos on RUclips simply for the ease of sharing the video with friends and family, we noticed there was a huge interest within the Land Speed Racing Community and gear heads all over the world. After posting a few more videos, the views started to increase and I received tons of comments and questions to do more videos with Pete and Kevin. I'm not going to lie, yes, we would like to get more subscribers and views so we can grow this to a larger viewership. Pete as well is really enjoying this opportunity and now is wanting to do a few more behind the scenes videos for the growing group of viewers who are enjoying this content. Thank you for watching! Greg
@@GregQuirin you passion is self evident and appreciated! it's fantastic that you're documenting the work of such dedicated and talented builders, especially since they seem to be a dying breed. my comment was more about the ugly cynicism that is so prevalent on yt - and everywhere else for that matter - and specifically the monetisation of literally everything, and the deep damage that is doing to society and the world.
Why would a couple of gear heads Wana build a flat motor to turn more rooms ,they are junk the blocks are junk ,the cranks are junk the rods are made of vanadium but they are not speed parts ,just build a Motor like konegseg 3 cylinders that makes 650 HP no cams no cam chains just a valve actuator , crank n piston rod or look at the new rotory motor 335 HP and it weighs 150 lbs, screw the flat motor it's a waste of time and energy

Do they still make and sell overhead conversions for the Ford and Chevy small blocks.

Why would anyone say this can't be done when ARDUN heads have been available since the 1960s
The Ardun heads are over head valves that uses pushrods with a single camshaft, however, they are not overhead camshafts such as the one Pete and Kevin made for the Flathead Ford.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE GUYS!
Pushrods are for idiots-
Yeah, Pete does not like push rod engines.
Why doesn't oem do crank pos. Sensors on the flywheel
Several OEM's do/or have in the past, but the standard now is to have the reluctor pressed onto the crank, as there is the least amount of harmonic torsional variation and the most accurate timing event possible.
Oh that makes sense I wonder if the lack of deviation causes deviation though
Where are they located?
Pete's shop is located in San Diego, CA
I hope the oil hole in the valley wasn't drilled in situ so that there is metal debris in the engine........
take a wild guess
They Don’t Wear, Eye Protection ? And Why Not ?
