- It’s been an incredible week of both highs and lows. The Mustang is looking INCREDIBLE thanks to JaxWax and Zach Copus with Tidy Rides in Columbus! But just before we left home, the Malibu’s engine threw a wrench in my weekend plans.
If anybody can save TTG's old 421 Uncle Bob is the one to do it... brought a tear to my eye...
Usually when a channel blows up their stuff, they make it seem like its no big deal. I love how honest Bill was about this. This to me feels way more honest as to how a person truly reacts to their baby blowing up.
Agreed
That feeling sucks! I've sold projects a few times because I didn't have the money to fix a broken engine or transmission. I've had bad luck with transmissions in hotrods.
100%. This reaction is genuine and how the rest of us would feel.
Ohhhh man that's a shot in the gut! Such a terrible feeling, those sounds will haunt your dreams. Really really sorry to see what happened. Not sure if there's anything we can do to help but if so let us know!
Nice to have uncle Bob to take time out of his other projects and take care of you.
Hard to believe the 421 ate a valve and kept running. That's quality baby!
Now you and chief and Jackie have more in common different bore cylinders absolutely love it keep it coming and thanks again for great content
That sucks Bill, losing a valve is never good. I hope the block is salvageable. Bob flipped that block like it was a feather, strong dude, and a good friend. I pray things work out. The detailer did a hell of a job on the Mustang`s paint. Mans got skills. Stay safe all, God Bless.
Thank God you have uncle Bob on your team cause as bad as this hurts, I'm sure he can get you fixed up!
Big change in the Mustang GT.Good ones. My younger brother passed away at one in the morning on Saturday. We're in need of some help. Love you all. And the dogs.
.060 over makes it really thin between the cylinders and sealing that tiny area with an MLS gasket will be challenging when spraying 300.
Id sleeve it if it were mine, keep the bores small.
And Chiefs motor! Almost thin enough to see thru to the next cyl. I've always felt standard bore didn't leave much but 4.2??
Sleeves do make the deck weaker, but I'd definitely sonic check it too before trying to run it with a big overbore.
Im sorry to hear this, hopefully the block is saveable!
I love the cars, the content and Ms. Vicki always has a beautiful smile for all of us. That’s why I come here. I have been subscribed to this channel long enough to watch Bill bust his butt digging ditches, excavating, laying pipe, etc. Good for him… when his old back wore out, he used his noodle to start this adventure… I hope he never stops.

Blowing up a engine is like someone kicking you square in the nuts!!!!! Good luck on finding parts in this time we are living in.seems like nothing is available anymore. That blue oval cursed your Malibu...lol keep up the videos.
They always run the best just before they don't
It’s like a close family member is sick when your engine is hurt. I know how you feel Bill!
Hey Bill don’t listen to some of these jerks online we are cut from the same cloth , we work hard for everything we have. We cherish our family and friends. Don’t listen to the nonsense.
Tuff break on the engine ol boy I’m sure uncle Bob will come through like always cause that’s what he do. Great vid as always.
Kenny!
Good to see Kenny Powers in video again.
Vale keepers are either yep or nope!
Very unfortunate.
At least it had the decency to let loose going around the block and not after you arrived at your destination.
Noooooo the old school block. Aloha man i hope that block is salvageable braddah. Good luck 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
It's so often the smallest most insignificant part that causes the most chaos when it goes :( tough break, hope the block is saveable!
Sorry for ur loss big guy hopefully Mr Bob will have u fix back up in a jiffy lol
Bill I'm sorry to see the Malibu hurt again but I think this time it's just VERY MAD AT YOU FOR BUYING A MUSTANG!!!! I hope it's salable and get back in the car soon. I know you are Heartbroken and I can see it. . Keep up the great work and I was very happy to see Kenny Powers again I hope things are getting better for him and his family. Stay safe
It’s amazing what a good clean up does to a car!
From one old man gearhead to another, I am so sorry for your loss.
What a pleasant surprise on a Sat. night...... remember in the youtube world, more problems = more footage. Goodluck with whichever road you choose to travel.
Really sucks about the Malibu, but hopefully you guys can get it fixed soon. Keep up the good work guys.
Bill, I’m very sorry about the engine. I feel your pain.
That is a heart breaker. Like you said at least you were at home. Pulling for you Bill. Hang tough
Definitely coming around from how bad it was. Thank you Mr Bill for the content, fingers crossed u get your babygirl fixed, aka Malibu.
Man my heart sank with you when you said you thought it dropped a valve. But we all know that comes with the territory of high compression and higher valve spring pressure but it still sucks! Hopefully everything will come back together in time.
Well, well, well. I'm very sad to hear that the Malibu's engine is damaged. Since Mother Hubbard's Engine Cuboard is bare and if Uncle Bob can't get the 421 back together again, Bill may have to race Jimmy Dale Billy Bob in Bill's recently purchased bad ass Small Block Ford Turbo Mustang GT. As Billy says, "Come get you some". Hell yeah!
The mustang is looking good the man has a lot of talent. I feel for you Bill I know exactly how you feel and I'm hoping that uncle Bob can resurrect it from the dead he to has amazing talent. Try and forget the haters they are miserable people and jealous to say the least. God bless and as always be safe 👍
Mustang is looking great!
Well that’s a kick in the nuts! Hopefully the block is salvageable.
Glad to see Kenny Powers back in the shop and on the channel!
Aww man, that sucks. Hope things come back together soon. Maybe that gives you a little time to work on the engine on the 55
That sucks Bill just when you were getting things dialed in hope the block is salvageable but thanks for the awsome videos keep them coming
Man this makes me so sad and there's nothing anyone could have done to know... sucks. I know she will be back better than ever though. Keep on plugging bill you got this!
More power you make the more prone you are to breaking stuff. It’s the Name of the game.
That sucks Bill!! It will be back better than before hopefully!!! Great video !!
Sorry to hear your pride and joy blew up. Hope you can save the block, know this really bummed you out.
Big Bill thank you for supporting the WFD again always awesome to see the WFD on your channel much appreciated and congratulations on 123,000 viewers and I can remember when you were worried about going out on your own… Awesome to see good people making good things happen
As someone who just Drove there race 3000 miles to race, that is one of my worst fears. It’s what makes me nervous about a fresh’n up, installation errors (I doubt that is what happened) or new parts quality or just plain making a mistake is easy to do, I hope you can figure out the cause or do an analysis video how you would try to figure it out so there isn’t another failure. Thanks for sharing and sorry for your bad luck…. But damn you are a great story teller, when the music changed I was like oh boy here it comes…. Keep doing what you are doing, love it!
That's why I've always said (just because it's bran new don't make it any good) but you're right it's those little things that create tha most heartache
Bill- It really hit home when you described the feeling of having an engine go unexpectedly..... especially when you just got finished putting it in and dialing it. I had the same thing happen last fall, on a brand new BBC in my gen 2 camaro. just went to the fuel station to top off for a car meet that next morning and the #7 intake head just popped off, clean break, on what was just a normal drive for some fuel- That set me back so far I will spend the next year paying it off, and it also stopped any other things I wanted to do to my car this year in it's tracks. At the end of the day, we tear it out, make it great again, and move on. You will do the same. Good luck, and thank you for putting into words how it feels to lose something that you have worked so hard to make your own. God bless
It's been a long time since I've been able to watch, I can't wait to see what you have had going on Bill.. I have to catch up on your other videos.. take care buddy. Adam
I'm sorry to hear the bad news, I just went through it myself, the positive out of all this is you get to build it stronger this time 😁
Man that sucks to see, that motor looked and ran awesome. Love that whole car, hope to see it fixed soon
Ain't nothin that Uncle Bob can't fix! Part of racing and I know it will be back better than ever. Can't keep a small block down!
What you are going through could happen to anyone of us at anytime. I’m nervous about the 440 that’s going together right now for a late buddy of mine’s 63 Belvedere that I hold the privilege of being the caretaker of. Trying to get it back to the track this year.
Very true. I built sbc427 installed it and blew it in a week. Then rebuilt and lasted a month, then found great shop to do work and it lasted a year. Now I'm at 440 cubes and it's lasted 2 years but I think it's time for a refresh
Damn brother hate to hear that happened. I have a fresh 406 that I hope to fire up in the next couple months and the thought of a part failing makes me sick. Hope you can get it back up and running soon 👍.
I bet Vicky is happy you didn’t show the dessert bar😂. Great video as always Bill!
Hope the motor is ok, glad to see an upload to get me through this night shift.
Damn that sick feeling in your gut when that happens is the worst. Good luck with fixing it.😢😢😢
OK I had to come back and edit my comment. I'm 12 minutes in and wow. Only thing you can do is move forward and eventually you'll find some light that shines thru the dark and it'll all make sense. Everything happens for a reason. Come back bigger and badder. Best channel on youtube!! 🍻🇺🇸
That's is rite bill, just kept your head up and wheels turning. We all knew this was gonna happen ( sorry it did.) But glad that you were only 1 mile down the road and not hours away from home.
Wow, what a scene. I paused the video and saw a scene with June Pup in the back happy and smiling with her Dad rolling with laughter and fun in the scene, what a precious moment. Also, hooray for Tommy for being a cool son and taking the possible punishment from his mentor, his cool Dad!!! Great video 📸
Ole girl will come back bigger and badder . Love the channel. Stay safe
yo old man! have watched since day one, and for quite awhile through SRC content. Sucks that the Malibu broke, but as we both know, it is what racing is all about, fix, brake, repair, repeat. I suggest that when you go to a full race block, possibly a brodix (tehe) that you seriously upgrade the trans BEFORE you break it, as well all know that WILL be the weak link as soon as the new motor drops in. With all that said, I really think your going to have more fun in the Mustang, yes I am partial to Mustangs, as it was my car of choice when trolling the streets when I raced. If I was to do it again, Id have to go with a mopar vehicle and a taco built hemi from a junkyard to start :D
I really do hope it all works out and that block is salvageable 🙏
Man I love you and the boys channels!! I wish we had a mechanic like you here in Missouri! I have been through the fire with my 2011 silverado two jasper motors and a transmission and its never been right!! It's down again needing another transmission after a year on a rebuild! Anyways you all are awesome,looking forward to your next video!!
I had that happen on a 302 Ford twice. It sucks. Hang in there!
You’ll be back better than ever no doubt! 💪
Sorry to hear the bad news,
Bigger and better budy!!
I love the new hoodies I will be ordering one good luck getting the Malibu back together and God bless
Old man I took my hat off for a moment of silence for the 421! Praying it all comes together and is back in no time
At least you were not on the jug when it let go, hopefully uncle Bob works his magic and y’all get her back together soon!
That Mustangs been my dream car since a buddy had a red one just like it in Highschool that would black track aslong as you wanted I was always so jealous driving a junky car!!! Thank you so much for all the great content Bill!!! 💯🇺🇸🤘🏻 Much love from Mustang,Oklahoma!!! Hope you get the Malibu back going soon I hate too see that just glad it didn’t happen somewhere away from home!!!
Man that sucks. Had the exact same thing happen to the first race motor I had built. Popped the head of a valve off and destroyed it about the 10th trip up the road. I had to sleeve the block, etc.. shit happens!! You’ll get it back right
Cheers Old Man !! Thank you for everything and as always God bless you Guys!!
Sorry that happened hopefully the block is able to be saved and fixed might want to find you another block for a back up in case something happens that it can’t be used again and I’m glad it happened at home then far away from home
Thanks for new video Hope everything is ok with 421 get you some trick flow heads for it when you get it back together
The 421 sounds just like the 350 in my son's hearse. Out of the blue it started making ugly noises, just driving through town. This will be the 3rd engine in the hearse! Good luck, Bill.
Time to go LS with Twins!
At least with it letting go at home you saved the trip money to Kentucky to use on parts for repair, crazier shit has happened but thats racing. Wish you well on a speedy recovery though, are the heads repairable or are you just getting a new set and repair them for spares?
Well it happens but we keep pushing on brother I hate it when a block let's go but what can you do.🥺 You guys make some awesome videos and for that I say thank you.
It sucks when breaking like that is a blessing in guise. But hey it can always be worse. As always thanks for sharing
Yes sir nice timing mr bill, you’ll get her back up and going
That’s the good thing about Chevys especially the 400 small blocks…especially the 4 bolt mains, throw a couple new bearings in it, and go give it some shit, the 421 will survive. And keep your head up bill!
Bill my prayers go out to the 421 and that she can be saved and all comes together for Texas so sorry this happened I feel devastated I know the feeling
I hate it when parts just up and quit, especially something simple like a keeper!
Darn.. that sux real bad… uncle bob to the rescue 😊
I love his Daniel Boone hat! I have recently been rewatching the series from 64 with Fess Parker.
Can’t wait to see y’all @yello belly 🔥💪🏼 y’all gonna love that track !!
Sucks to hear about the 421, I've had similar scenarios happen...It sucks!! Mustang is looking good! #BuiltByBo
Man that sucks I hate to see this! 😢 I hope you can get it fixed and back up to running top notch again soon!! 🙏🙏🙏
I am 78 years oil and drag raced since I was 16, everything from a 1 "Pure Stock" 67 Chevelle to an IHRA Pro Stock 1990 Trans AM, and have lost a lot of engines, and like you, it hits me hard every time, like losing a friend.
Love the content Bill. Hope the 421 is ok
That's a beautiful car
Spare 400 small block looks like it will be comming out of the crate for a good breakin run.
Hopefully the blocks still good I dropped two valves in my turbo h22 quick head swap and it still ran fine ! Pistons did have some dents but still layed down over 500 to the tire on 91 pump not to shabby for a 4 cylinder
Holley has some great new gauges.....speedometer included. GPS.....they work great!
I have been building my last hot rod for 6 years and it will be another 2 years before it is done. You can build a nice race vehicle without being rich. Mine is a 75 Chevy luv twin turbo, fuel injected small block Chevy. Good luck with your Malibu. One old man to another 😊
An early video drop!!!!! Bob gonna have to find some strong keepers for those valves with all that spring pressure you're running!!
The Jimmy Dale curse !
Best of Luck Bill!
sorry for your loss.. it's never easy,, I lost my 598 with 9 runs on it...I hope your block is salvageable
I would like to point out that Bob just flipped that heavy ass steel block like nothing 😅
That's why he's the 🐐
I thought that same thing. Though stripped down a small block isn't bad. I've tossed them.and old online sixes with crank cam and pistons around when I was younger.
When I was about 10 ish I seen my dad man handle a 327 block into a log truck by hand with the grill out. My dad is gone now and as a older man myself I look back and realize how strong a of a ole timer he was.
Everyday 💪😎
@@randyfears415 I believe we all seen our dads as a superman at times, especially as a kid we needed to have security and feel as if we were under his wing of a safe environment where no one or nothing could hurt us from the world, a dad was our every desire to grow up to be as. Oh my dad I just knew could never be or do any wrong in eyes of an only child, I've seen him wrench in cold miserable weather as the coffee froze solid that I brought to him while working and as a kid we didn't understand why our dads did this but now as an adult 47 I know now of all the reasons of the why's and what's, he did it for his all, his family. But the best thing I ever seen my dad do wasn't any of these things, the best I ever saw him do is on Wednesday Eve and Sunday a.m. he would dress up and serve the lord , I never will forget the feeling of walking through the church doors him with his bible and me and momma with him. I miss my mother thou and dad still lives and does the best that an old man can, I'm glad to be able to meet and talk to y'all online and talk cars etc and thanks for listening sir! You be blessed
As bad as it is to have to deal with this, at least it happened before you loaded up and headed down to your destination. In a way it was fortunate that you took that last drive around the block before putting the Malibu in the trailer.
Oh, and I agree with erikk was says you are a rich man. Except, perhaps not in the way he means. Yup Old Man Bill is rich beyond measure!
Thanks for sharing Bill
That sucks brother hopefully it works out pretty good for you save a little numbers best of luck buddy
Sorry to hear about the Malibu but I hope it can be fixed and I guess you can run the mustang and good luck and be safe and God bless you guys
