Wizard needs to get the 308 done, and needs to get himself and Hoovie dressed up as priests "pull over, we want to bless you!" Lol
😆😆 "Why don't you take that piece of shit back to the junkyard!"
That would be awesome!!
Those weren’t fathers, they were……..mothers
@jared, if you think these rebuilds are tough, I am officially inviting you to come see where we rebuild F/A-18E/F Super Hornets at the Naval Aviation Maintenance Center for Excellence in Lemoore, CA. Would love to host you!
This is awesome. I hope Jared does it.
That would be amazing !!!!
Dude that would be SO cool!
Testimonial: As a hoarder, I have always had to spend a lot of time shopping for all the things I didn't need, which I could then stash around my house. Now, with Bespoke Post, I don't have to do that. The unneeded and redundant knives and other gear just show up at my doorstep. Great progress.
You probably have some cool stuff
The future is now. 🛍🛍🛍🛍🛍🛍🛍
Lmfao!!! I feel your pain.
I know I'm not the first to say it, but Jared, you're a whole new generation's "Pat Goss of Goss' Garage". From vocal tone, to excitement about teaching people how to handle mechanical gremlins, you're good nature and boundless knowledge are greatly appreciated.
Keep making questionable choices!
Goss is indeed a legend but for some reason he has always enraged me. I dont know why.....
Jared is like an American Edd China
I had this same Dodge Van my senior year of high school (class of 1990) I drove with a suspended license the entire year. That van was called the Roach Motel. I was a drummer and I played in a punk band which meant all the equipment would end up in my van and it would be me alone to unload it all. That van would never quit and I abused it.
A good friend of mine who runs an over cab truck which has really, really small space between the cab and the engine, blocked the sides with a rubber skirt like piece, and made a passage from the from to the back, then put a medium sized 12v extractor fan (the ones you see on moving kitchens). A bit noisy, but it works, his temps are really decent as long as the fan runs.
15:42 when he said that, my mind IMMEDIATELY went back to that one Mythbusters episode where Adam Savage DID lose an eyebrow (and a pretty good chunk of his hair) from a small scale test about the effects of static electricity and the use of cell phones while refueling.
Surely ( if he can fit you in) a trip to Gainesville, and KSR would be in order to get the Holley in top order before the big run.
Kevin has a Dyno ( possibly similar vintage to the van) and he's a certified Holley expert.
He tweeked Derek's car for him and did all kinds of magic with his laptop.
Actually Dave was spot on. "Make questionable choices. Oh shit!"
Check the front wheel bearings if slightly worn can make the front end feel loose.
The most relatable part of this video is David timing all their wrenching milestones around meals.
Got to get your priorities right.
A day at the dyno won't hurt...right? Adjust the tune for drivability on the road afterwards. Does it really make 700 HP and some, can turn it down when needed, have a few base maps for power levels (since this is N/A without turbo boost control to do the same) and the added insurance that it has been tuned perfectly well! No compromises!
There should be a heat shield on the frame pump for added protection with that heat can right there.
Love the project
Funny how Jared says doing a Cannonball Run is a bad idea when he's done it at least twice.
Plausible legal deniability if anyone of us morons heads out on one and gets in trouble. We can't say "Jared told me to".. I'm still saying it anyway.. ;-)
Basically everyone I know who's done any form of recreational long range driving - cannonball, rallies, just plain road trips, whatever, will tell you it's a bad idea. Hell, I'll tell you right now: It's a terrible horrible bad idea.
And then go on to tell you how much fucking fun they have.
That we know of.
Those aren't mutually exclusive items.
Lots of bad ideas are awesome. It's a weird quantum dynamics thing.
Matt on DieselCreek also hates to leave project videos unfinished, but I don't mind because for one thing, it gives us something more for the future and also I would enjoy it more when the project is done right and finished properly instead of rushing to get a test and have something catastrophic happen.
Great job on preparing this iconic vehicle for a very very long drive. Hopefully is completes it without incident. Matt.
Two Fluffy Doggos, a questionable Van, and engine mapping. A good Wrenching video to end my workday on :D
Suspension is concerning for a fast run but the rest is an A1 setup. Surely most cops are going to know this van and it's age will make it stick out.
John, Ed & Travis will need help on the way to make it without spending hours explaining their 100MPH Ambulance to highway cops.
Maybe just cruise the risky areas, run it up under the open skies and get it there with a respectable late 1970's time. Mission to complete accomplished. Cheers 🇨🇦
Somewhere Brock is smiling.. Brilliant work Guys
The van is awesome! Great work Jared, David, and anyone else that helped!
Good luck on the run, guys!
I think you need to ditch the gas motor, and put in a 24v Cummins with a P7100 pump. Completely manual, and a lot of the stuff not needed. :D
It’s nice to finally seeing it being driven more then just off and on the trailer
It is totally legal. As long as you never do any of the lights or siren while the vehicle is in motion.
Depends on the State
Awesome job guys but I have one concern about the fuel transfer pump being so close to the muffler. Maybe it was just the camera angle but all I could think about if that sprung a leak is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Otherwise ya'll are amazing
Those 3 guys driving across America, I want to see that video, great work Jared, Rj in Oz
Hi,
Can we hear the sound of the vehicle instead of the cheesy music when you’re testing and doing shots from the other vehicle?
I don’t know about anyone else, but the music is in the engine for me.
Lovely bus, nice job, love your show.
Jay (Ireland).
The music at the 21:38 mark totally fits the late 70's and 80's motive of the van
You can here that famous Burt Renaldas laugh as he messed his lines up stood next to that ambulance. like to see more of the cars used in the film, like the one hid in the swimming pool....as he said better then hiding it out back....
Ignition coil I'd have stuck under the front hood up on one of the fender walls or something. Not that there's much room up there or anything, but it's cool and nowhere near the electronics stack - and, crucially, easy to swap.
I knew EXACTLY what that van was when I saw the thumbnail. I'm 39 and Cannonball Run (which was made 3 years before I was born) is still among my favorite movies ever. Dom DeLuise and Burt Reynolds, Brock Yates, Roger Moore, Jamie Farr, Farrah Fawcett, Sammy Davis Jr, Jackie Chan, Peter Fonda, Marilu Henner, (Telly Savalas, Tony Danza, and Don Knotts were also in the sequel) Terry Bradshaw, Molly Picon, an absolute star packed movie of its day. JJ McClure owning a Land, Air, Sea speed shop, I always wondered what that Dodge van had under the hood, but I always imagined it would've been a 440 with a 727 behind it.
I remember watching the original cannonball run with my dad way back in the day. So glad to see this vanbulance back on the road driving again
The movie was based off of a real event, real people, and real cars.
Since it's such a floaty boat, just make sure it's ship-shape.
You young guys never learn! Never drive without a plate on your car! Just stick a plate from your car that you drove to the shop! If you get stopped and they run the plate and tell you it's the wrong one you look at them really sincerely and say ''But officer, It has to be the right plate it fit right on it!!'' Every time I've said that they start to explain and then just shake their head and say ''Just get this thing registered the first chance you get!'' and walk off!
It was a different world then
Hi Jared and guest nice video 📹 and workmanship!!!! And hi Pups and other videos 📹 forward and back !!!!
That tiny steering wheel looks hilarious in a '70s Dodge van, especially with a man Jared's size holding onto it.
Just seeing this thing rolling down the road........ It tickles me in my special place!
Have you thought of doing a video with Car Wizard on a project…. Other than him watching you tear down your Diesel engine in his garage
Dropping a phat beat at the beginning of the video there!!!
love the GOSS Garage comment and the Car Wizard shout out
Love the more and more creative segues into the sponsors 😂
You can always bank on Jared to do everything 'hands on' and show you the goof ups as well as successes and give credit when others help.
That van / ambulance is one special vehicle ....
I drove one of these for a daily pulling boats for the company I worked for ,had the 318 dodge and was reliable , The only problem I had was carbon build up which is something a good mechanic gave me advice on keeping reduced . Once sold
Always working while recording has to be difficult!
As a fresh youtuber making similar content... it sure does have it challenges! But it's a lot of fun too!
Jared is one of the very best.
That's for you car wizard 🤣😭😍
Girthy!
sure it'll make the cannonball run, but will it make the kessel run? in less than 12 parsecs?
If you don't like the steering I suggest you check the alignment. I currently own a '73 and have owned others. Ford and GMC as well and I liked the steering of the Dodge best. Don't complain, fix it.
That is awesome, best of luck to you guys. You are a rockstar
For a cannonball nerd, this is pretty cool dude.
"What's up? You're running 120, your little lights are flashing everywhere, that's what's up..." If none of y'all have ever seen the Cannonball Run series, I highly suggest it.
Even the look of of the steering around 20:30 reminds me of eighties cable TV.. 😂
It is so weird seeing somebody else work on that thing I spent many days and nights working on that damn thing for Mr Bell
700hp with a dual plane intake... yeah i dont think so... youre lucky if its 500... badass van nonetheless
Yeah they are being a little happy with those numbers lol
I am not necessarily a country music fan, but Garth Brooks is a legend. I would go to that concert in a heartbeat. Nice work!
Where are the bodies Garth, the families want closure!
You should look into some larger Detroit wheels and lower profile tires, and a newer model steering box, I think they are the same up to 1993, maybe some bigger brakes would help too 😃
Make sure to remember at the gas station -- she goes both ways!
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO!!!! i better stop shouting, my parole guy just said
Omg the exhaust sounds so good on that van !
should put grommets where the lines go through the holes in the frame.
Would definitely buy a pair of LUV trucks.
But guess you've already scooped them.
Maybe next time hahaha
It really doesn’t get much cooler than this.. BALL..CANNONBAAAALL.!🎼🎬
Is the gear vendor OEM on that van? I've only seen them in the offroad world, in a hi lo gear setting application.
He says right at the beginning that it is an aftermarket overdrive unit.
@@therealboofighter oh ok I missed that.
Oh shit... Words to live by and best pearl of wisdom ever
Are you going to rent a high speed race track to get the tuning for high speed or will you put it on the dyno instead?
"What happened to er.. Mr.. " "Foyt!"
In addition to the ambulance it would be great to see a bunch of other vintage vehicles from the movie to kind of do I don't know, see them together and just kind of enjoy the time period. Burt Reynolds did some of the best "car" movies back in the day, it is a dream of mine somewhat to one day earn enough and have enough time do build/restore some of the vehicles from the movies.
Wasn't there a Subaru wagon with a jet engine in the first movie? I need to watch that again...
@@ZGryphon It's been so long I can't exactly remember either. How cool would it be to have a "Car movie weekend" type thing with a bunch of fans of this kind of thing?
@@baronclime6423 Pretty cool. Which makes me think: my father's stuck in bed for a while recovering from foot surgery, I should take over my _Cannonball Run_ and _Smokey & the Bandit_ Blu-rays when I go visit him this weekend.
So.... Whatcha doing with that 1.9 TDI 6 SPD?
He got it wrong at 13.00......It's not bring the noise........It's Bring the Thunder. :-)
two different licenses plates? guess one in the back of the seat counts lol
You should try the cannon ball in roadblock
Hahahaha, Jared kept the last part in.
That thing is awesome! Obviously needs some stiffer suspension but that's not a big deal. Glad it doesn't have that horrid 70's marron/burgundy interior
What, I loved the burgundy interior on my white vinyl top over burgandy 1977 Plymouth Fury!
That was a great car!
Where is the brown sticky liquid sealant where you should put it!!
I would check all the valve lash to 👍
Runs much better from when it was fired up from the first episode.
What engine is in that hing a B series or RB? Anyway that van is badass. too bad a third gen hemi will not fit in that thing because that be cool with a hellcat engine in it anyway I love it
Isn't that a 9 1/4 rear end not a 8 1/4. If it is a 9 1/4 you should replace the crush sleeve with a solid spacer. This should make it marginally stronger.
If this has a Chrysler built steering box, then get Firm Feel to tweek it.
Lol, put a combo scoop and aero on the roof with a snorkel tube to the carb
Maybe the jinx is you said you trying to make happen after 50yrs but the trucks number is 55 so you might have to wait to do it on its 55th year. Then it will do straight across no problem’s!! 🤪🤪💚💚💚💚💚
I think the phrase is "crap thunder and p*ss lightning" instead of "fighting fit." :D
I predict it's going to overheat...
Hell yeah brother
Vans like these are so incredibly difficult to come accross in my country because who imports these things? I have always LOVED vans and my dream would be to have a SWB van like the Dodge B200/Street Van or the 2nd Gen Econoline panelvan, but would mean converting to RHD. With the space a V8 takes up, I would love to put in a 2JZ or Barra motor in it. Wonder if that would be possible.
You seen this? ruclips.net/p/PLz2CNjb6s-b9bKXUzPFb7CrRh07zQiWE0
Are you in Australia? The Barra reference gave you away
@@jacobmoses3712 South Africa
Am sorry but that land cruiser in the back looks clean
Davis is cool guy, also Jared. Keep on boyz
The Wizard does love a large BEEFY shaft lol
Keep your tires at 35 psi. That’s my knowledge. That’s all I got.
It ain't what you do it's how you do it.
Hi there talking about your ambulance on quest TV in the UK and the cannibal run. Program called autobiography racing legends
Nice 80 series land cruiser you got there 👀
All that money Travis spent and couldn’t make it. I built a 1978 dodge ambulance replica in 30 days, $5000 and broke the curse this year. Sorry about your promise Travis. Not only did we make it but we drove it with no chase cars and made to and from. 6k miles in 4.5 days.
Jared, I see you have an 80 series. Future project?
Always make questionable choices, and apparently install Final Fantasy 15 on your tuning computer (not sponsored.)
Love ya Jared. Great work!
Should have upgraded the springs (air ride?) and sway bars to try get rid of some of the sway.
Naw, let it ride! 😁👍
Drop a spool in the rear and it may just go mid 10's on a track.
Don’t forget folks we pay for the roads and are taxed in some state four ways to drive
A mention of Garth Brooks without playing the Deliverance banjos in tehe background, is that even legal?
It needs a front splitter holding to the ground
Mopar has wonderful power steering from that era
