Cheap Car Challenge Part 5 We have an Engine! Is This an 8 Second Powertrain?

Even though the Cleetus Cheap Car Challenge cars won't be ready in time for Sick Summer, we still need to get things ready. We have the drive train in and mocked up… and for the record we would have been ready in time.

It will be cool to see someone running an 8HP transmission.

Would definitely get those heads resurfaced and check the valves seal. Good idea to replace and upgrade all the head studs.

the coil bracket doesnt fit because you need to mount the individual coils on the valve cover and not use the bracket

You guys should do a cheap car shoot out! Invite other youtubers to bring cars that meet the rules and do a big event.

Sorry, I'm not going to make it to Sick Summer this year. I would have loved to come and give my Fairmont a solid go but I haven't been able to get the funds together so far. Hopefully later in the year, or maybe next year. Loving the Volvo build and it's a shame you guys aren't going to get to take it to Sick Summer either, but loving the cheap car challenge videos. Even though he's a Queenslander, Andy has been god send for you guys. :)

6:02 I am sure that by the time we see this the engine will be assembled… but I would want to check and measure that hole that got wet compared to all the others - to make sure the piston isn’t down in the hole more than the next. You gotta hope the guy that lifted the head was smart enough Not to let that cylinder fill with water and crank it over anytime after the pass.

I’m excited to see the Volvo take on the cheap car challenge. I love the Volvo with the hubcaps and the old cooler.

I hope YouTube/ Google pays you extra for advertising! They hijacked the last third of your video for multiple 5 minute ads that you couldn't skip! I finally had to shut it down and reload your video, fast forward to the end and then I was able to watch it!

Sucks the cleeter crew isn't going to have their cars done in time. Guess you get a head start on testing.
