He sounded still amazed on the call. Heck ya Dad gets a great car and boost to business. Just having that car. People will come to see it. Sometimes ya get a deserved break in life.
Congratulations Les! Made my day hearing this conversation with an 82 year old young man and how genuine and happy he sounded. Well done SM on such great prize, can't wait to watch the video.
Steve my wife had siezure and suffered a broken neck been in hospital 12 days and you and Less had me smile and feel good inside for 1st time....thank you BOTH!!!
You know Steve, Les, is right WE APPRECIATE the "STRAIGHT SHOOTER", that you are! I've watched a ton of your videos, everytime I LEARN SOMETHING COOL! I'm 65, been a technician since 1978, built a bunch of motors, even more trannies, drag raced a boat in the 80s, and 90s! It seemed like you and Val are raising an awesome kid in Kyle!! He talks to us just like you do!!
Congrats to Les... And I agree 1000% on everything he said about you, Steve. Your presentation on this channel is awesome. You come off as just a regular dude who tells it like it is. Wish you nothing but the best, man!
@@Davespackey Never was our business. It was just something that kind of struck my mind. But yes, I'm sure there's someone he can pass it down to when time comes and he sounded like he was up for taking it out🙂
There was a Air force base at blytheville till sometime in the 70s. Used to drag race there when they would open it up to races. Other times I would race at George Ray's dare devil drag strip. It opened I believe in the early 60s and still going strong
So there I am, sitting on my mower, thinking about finishing the latest Steve Morris video, when out of nowhere, the Steve Morris van drives right in front of my house!! Wish I could have gotten a picture of it driving by, but still cool to see!
That was a great video. The winner of Sugar Mom sounds most appreciative ( and deserving of this great car) .Clark is cool as always. Joe knocked it out of the park with his tech info. Many , many thanks.
It's guys like Les the reason why we sat out the Sugar Momma giveaway. God Bless Les and we hope he has an ear to ear grin when he blasts down the track. Looking forward to seeing that video. Our goodest boi Dewey makes our day every time he makes a cameo appearance. Cheers!
I'm 70 and was expecting the call myself but after hearing who won I'm just as happy. But I can see something in Steves eyes when he could see that this 82-year-old still wanted to go fast. Steve did not want to part with Sugar Mama. If I would of won. I would not say a thing to Steve and after making some passes, I would trade him the car back for a SM Monster Motor. Good job Steve. I'm rocking the decals on my daily now.
I just love to see how much care you and your staff always put into making engines the right way. Amazing detail and I just love the real talk about time needed for custom builds. Definitely points out all of the things you designed in to your SMX and SML powerhouses!
Im a gm guy but always interested in any big performance engine and cant wait to see that big black hemi make some big power.. love to see all the tech work as my brain very mechanical and rarely get to see the machining and assembly tech stuff
congrats on the win Les!! and the joys of engine building over coming problems, I wonder if the timing dot on the cam gear is in the wrong location, whatever the case I would remark the gear so if someone else has to take the belt off it is reassembled correctly..
Warms my heart, very cool Steve and nicely done. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy it seems and congratulations Les and would love to see a video of you at the track in the 9s
That gentleman is just great. To think he was racing nearly into the 9s, in the mid 1960s, and we're lucky to get near 7s now - some sixty years later - bears contemplation. ❤from 🇬🇧
Coming from building small blocks a 100lb crank? I am used to cranks on the 40s. The whole assembly will be huge,, need 200hp more just to turn the crank
Being off a tooth is common in big engines. In the future put cam @#1 intake lobe at .050, put crank @#1 TDC then just put belt, gears wherever is needed. Saves TONS of time.
So the title says 280 in the standing mile! In August there’s a relatively unknown event that takes place just north of my tiny (3500 people) it’s called the SORC Shootout! You can run the half or full mile! It’s been happening for oh, twenty five years now, there’s been some world famous people attend over the years and not once in the history of the event has any ever gone over 230 in the mile! Yes this is a somewhat flat, slightly uphill two lane asphalt road but it is what it is! I’d be stoked if ole’ Steve would like to give it a go!! BTW SORC stands for Sandhills Over the Road Challenge!! Look it up there is a web page!
I love this and he sounds like a total cool 82 year old. I’m so looking forward to the track video. Thanks Steve and you and your team are truly Straight Shooters! 👍
the young guy who was working on the BIG BLACK HEMI did a great job give him some more air time in the future i want to see if les can get the pedal to the metal at the track
Grats Les!! That's amazeballs being able to go so fast so late in life so safely! Watch out for whichever grandkid wants you to crash the most, Man! Haha!
This is nothing like the JC Whitney, Small block Chevy rebuild kit!! High horsepower, 1 off custom engines are VERY!! Time consuming, to build!! If you want it done right!! Super cool build!!
Re: degreeing the cam-do you ever do it with only one piston in-to make rolling it over easier-less jumpy-needles not bouncing as much-just wondering if it’s done…?
The camshaft was mid ground or is a re grind and was ground offset to achieve the specs needed. I have a cam that has to be be installed one tooth advanced, its a stock regrind, this is why you always degree a cam.

Les is my dad, and this is by far one of the coolest things to happen! Congrats dad!! Have fun at the track!❤️❤️

This is just the best thing ever......I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 wish I could of entered ....I can't wait to see your Dad do some runs......
I can't wait to see 82 year old Les live his dream of making it into the 9's. That's going to be a great video. Congrats on the win, Les!
I hope Sam can come hang out !
So cool.
What a win.
Most engine builders would have gave up . Not worth the time!
I hope the ol fella hits his goal!! Awesome!!👌❤️👍🇦🇺
Watch yourselves, we gotta new peddle stomper!
Congratulations Les! Made my day hearing this conversation with an 82 year old young man and how genuine and happy he sounded. Well done SM on such great prize, can't wait to watch the video.

Thanks everyone
82 ...EIGHTY TWO former drag racer. What a deserving winner and Epic video ahead !
You know Steve, Les, is right WE APPRECIATE the "STRAIGHT SHOOTER", that you are! I've watched a ton of your videos, everytime I LEARN SOMETHING COOL!

82 years young by the sound of things, way to go Les. Have fun.
Congrats to Les... And I agree 1000% on everything he said about you, Steve. Your presentation on this channel is awesome. You come off as just a regular dude who tells it like it is. Wish you nothing but the best, man!
That is awesome!!! 82 and about to make the fastest pass of his life!
Other than the first pass he made with his wife.
Hell ya brother
This will be one of the best videos handing "Sugar Mamma" over. Probably couldn't have went to a better person! What a great a story this will be.
I didn't know if Steve could take it there for a minute lol...Hopefully he will bring the real sugar momma along for the test!!
Lucky guy. Congrats to Les. Les is spot on when he describes Steve. That hemi is going to be neat to see run when it’s done.
Can Kyle interview Clark like he did with his mom? Clark is an interesting guy.
There's a Clark video posted a few months ago.
He's legit from the Rocky horror picture show...💪🤣🍺🇳🇿
@@62crippleis also one of the prison guards from The Longest Yard starring Burt Reynolds
@@coleboonecustoms 💪🤣🍺🇳🇿 true that...!
82 years old. Fuk’in outstanding. The track day should be epic. Love this, and thanks for sharing.
Missed Clark, happy he is back =)
Congratulations Les and thanks Steve Morris for opportunity for us to win that beautiful machine
Couldn’t have had a better winner! My dad drag raced his Harley’s into his 70s!
I hope Steve takes him to the Track … Truly Great Winner!!!
Yeah, but there's a big difference between say 72 and 82. I hope this car won't end up just sitting after a year or two.
@@AB-80XI’m sure the guys got family.. hopefully he’s got a grandson or son that will enjoy it when he’s done.. not really our business anymore
@@Davespackey
Never was our business. It was just something that kind of struck my mind. But yes, I'm sure there's someone he can pass it down to when time comes and he sounded like he was up for taking it out🙂
@@AB-80X
And there’s a big difference between any 4 wheel drag race and man handling a Harley at72. Old man must’ve been tough dude.
That is absolutely awesome. 82 year's young.
congrats to Les. hope all goes well for him and the sugar mamma
There was a Air force base at blytheville till sometime in the 70s. Used to drag race there when they would open it up to races. Other times I would race at George Ray's dare devil drag strip. It opened I believe in the early 60s and still going strong

I was sad I didn’t win until I heard Les and now I’m so happy for him and to see him rip that beast. Thanks for sharing!
What a nice gentleman. Glad he won
That was a great video. The winner of Sugar Mom sounds most appreciative ( and deserving of this great car) .Clark is cool as always. Joe knocked it out of the park with his tech info. Many , many thanks.
So we gotta see this guy make some runs and get that 9 sec pass
It's guys like Les the reason why we sat out the Sugar Momma giveaway. God Bless Les and we hope he has an ear to ear grin when he blasts down the track. Looking forward to seeing that video. Our goodest boi Dewey makes our day every time he makes a cameo appearance. Cheers!
That dude said 12.5 inch long push rods at 9/16 in diameter. That's massive.
That's the 'Ron Jeremy' of push rods!
LET'S GO!!!!!!!! Never too old to race .
Love seeing ❤Dewey❤ moving from one station to the next checking up on the guys. ❤
Congrats Les! I over did it with my entries, I'm still eating rice and beans.
Just watching Steve climb in and out of Clark's car earned a thumbs up. Too funny.
Yea, I was skinny back in the day. My nick name was slim.
Congrats pop! Couldn’t think of a better person to win this.
Congrats Les!! Hope you run many 9s in your new ride!
Apart from me.. This guy is the only person worthy of winning Sugar Momma.. Congrats
wow so pumped for les just awesome .. some great info on the hemi too 👍, good seeing clark around
Steve help that man do 9’s on a video. To see a 82 year old man happy to finally get his 9 sec pass. That would be a totally awesome video
Les, you are inspirational. Get your foot into that go fast pedal.
Steve, this outcome couldn't be better.
Winner sounds like a fantastic guy, congrats!
I'm 70 and was expecting the call myself but after hearing who won I'm just as happy.
But I can see something in Steves eyes when he could see that this 82-year-old still wanted to go fast. Steve did not want to part with Sugar Mama.
If I would of won. I would not say a thing to Steve and after making some passes, I would trade him the car back for a SM Monster Motor. Good job Steve. I'm rocking the decals on my daily now.
68 and same here!
67 same
Awesome to hear about the winner of Sugar Mama. Glad it went to someone older that races
I just love to see how much care you and your staff always put into making engines the right way. Amazing detail and I just love the real talk about time needed for custom builds. Definitely points out all of the things you designed in to your SMX and SML powerhouses!
*SEEN CLARK ON 1320VID YEARS AGO. DUDE WAS A GOD AMONG INSECTS BACK THEN....NOTHING CHANGED*
Im a gm guy but always interested in any big performance engine and cant wait to see that big black hemi make some big power.. love to see all the tech work as my brain very mechanical and rarely get to see the machining and assembly tech stuff
Well done young fella building the Hemi 👍
By far the best winner call I have ever heard
Nothing makes me happier than knowing someone genuine and deserving wins a giveaway
congrats on the win Les!! and the joys of engine building over coming problems, I wonder if the timing dot on the cam gear is in the wrong location, whatever the case I would remark the gear so if someone else has to take the belt off it is reassembled correctly..
Warms my heart, very cool Steve and nicely done. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy it seems and congratulations Les and would love to see a video of you at the track in the 9s
One more kick at the cat. That sounds awesome. Happy for the guy. If an 82 y/o man can figure out how to enter a contest online, he can race! lol
That gentleman is just great. To think he was racing nearly into the 9s, in the mid 1960s, and we're lucky to get near 7s now - some sixty years later - bears contemplation. ❤from 🇬🇧
Man, that Hemi is a beast, it sounds AWESOME!!
Nice one Les! Enjoy!
Awesome winner, congratulations to Les!
Hi Steve and Clark! Good luck you both
Glad to see Clark is back. Good luck in the upcoming season
This is great! I’m sure Sugar Mama will go to a great owner.
good job on explaining the hemi cam and valve work,,, have him do a few more
Oh come on Steve we all know that you are ON IT!! 👍
38:56. Those intake ports are HUGE!
Great phone call Steve, congrats Les!
The big black hemi is a real pain in the
Areslo it seems from
The crank debacle to the final assembly.
Your team handled it great !
I'm with your 82year old winner. you make a fab job. best wishes from berlin. UM
I think Les is 82 years young! Sugar Momma is going to a deserving guy!
Pressurizing or vacuuming the coolant system pretty amazing idea
82... wanna see him rip. He's just a couple years older than me :P If you ever feel old, Steve, remember, you'll always be a young punk to me!
Les is so cool!
Congratz to the winner of SM. Cant wait to see him drive the Old Girl down the strip. As for the BLACK HEMI. ohh i know the pain of custom engines
Coming from building small blocks a 100lb crank? I am used to cranks on the 40s. The whole assembly will be huge,, need 200hp more just to turn the crank
Being off a tooth is common in big engines. In the future put cam @#1 intake lobe at .050, put crank @#1 TDC then just put belt, gears wherever is needed. Saves TONS of time.
Congratulations to the Sugar Momma winner. Good luck I’m sure she’ll be safe for you to race.
Congrats to the Les!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome Steve and crew making the old timers day. He will get his nine. And i hope we get to see it. 👍🙏
I love it. Ole guys rule. Can't wait to see him and you meet and have some BIG fun with the car.
That’s soooo good! Couldn’t have been a better winner! I hope I’m fortunate enough to have something like that in my twilight, can’t wait to see it!

Awesome, congratulations to the winner!
Thats awsome!!! 83 and able to live out his dream, congratulations to Les

Watch out for whichever grandkid wants you to crash the most, Man! Haha!
262.85!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome winner of Sugar Momma. Hope you make an episode of it's delivery and the first passes.
Interesting to see a dished piston in that hemi. I would have figured a flat top piston would have been stronger.
Can't wait to see that dude run his 9😊
This is nothing like the JC Whitney,
Small block Chevy rebuild kit!!
High horsepower, 1 off custom engines are VERY!! Time consuming, to build!!
If you want it done right!!
Super cool build!!
Rob Wendland always had those shorts about his big black rear end haha - The 12” Chrisman rear end, lol (Top Fuel)
So cool getting into all the technical details of the engine build. 42:54
The guy that usually wins the 604 crate class at the circle dirt track I go to is 77, happens more and more every day
Congratulations sir Steve that's really cool guys have a great day 💪🏼🇺🇸👍car is looking good Clarky
Look how big everything is on that Hemi holy crap😮
How awesome is that!?? Clark is going to blow everything away!
That's just awesome! Give the man his 9!!! Seems like it couldn't happen to a better guy👍👍👍
Steve, you make me smile with your generosity and beaming personality.
Interesting stuff ! Thanks for sharing !
Re: degreeing the cam-do you ever do it with only one piston in-to make rolling it over easier-less jumpy-needles not bouncing as much-just wondering if it’s done…?
I live close to Milan drag way, I hope you keep us updated. I'd like to watch
The camshaft was mid ground or is a re grind and was ground offset to achieve the specs needed. I have a cam that has to be be installed one tooth advanced, its a stock regrind, this is why you always degree a cam.
Awesome channel @Steve Morris
A well deserved winner, at 82 he is probably a veteran also.
Bummed I didn't win Sugar Mamma , but super happy a guy like Les gets to own it. It couldn't have went to a better winner. Congrats Les !
Awesome, congrats Les!
