Revamping a Hemi-Swapped Gasser 1955 Chevy Bel Air For Insane Power!
Episode 296 features my favorite car in the Finnegan's Garage fleet--Blasphemi! This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air has been with me the longest and its the first long-term project we ever tackled on Roadkill, the Motor Trend show I still film each month with David Freiburger. I'm still pushing towards that magical place where speed and reliability share real estate and in this video we perform three new mods to accomplish that goal. First, we slide a larger pair of Stainless Headers Manufacturing collectors onto the primary tubes of our headers. Next, we replace a small Hilborn injector with a larger one that my buddy Phil Rohr sent me. Finally, we build a new set of header collector extensions aka Bullhorns and then a longer pair of front leaf spring shackles. You can find more info about the parts and companies we worked with in the following links:

Episode 295 of Mike Finnegan's Garage is the bomb! Hands-down, this is the most fun I've had with cars in a long, long time. We took my 1968 Dodge Charger, aka The Death Metal Charger, to Mooresville Dragway and instead of pointing it straight down the asphalt dragstrip for a few seconds we went round and round a new dirt roadcourse for hours! The 450hp turbocharged Toyota 2JZGE engine and new ...

    This whole series is awesome. Not to sound like a dick, but it's nice seeing someone with huge amounts more experience than me, go thru the ass pain. It sorta tells me that i'm not a moron ( not all the way at least) and this is all part of the classic car game. The thrashing sucks at the time, but as soon as it's done and back in operation, out come the hi fives and smiles. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

    I own a Tremor, tow with it, daily drive it, and wheel it. I recently towed a 61 Bonneville from the top of Washington to San Fran Bay Area, that truck will cease to amaze me. You will be much happier with the Tremor than the standard truck. That hill decent control button he told about is not what he said, it it Trail Control, a cruise control for trail riding.

    In my opinion there are 2 mechanical methods to restrict that throttle body for drivability. 1 is another row of throttle plates above the first, commanded by either a servo or manual/adjustable lever or a 4 holed flat aluminum plate that can slide horizontally above the body to restrict airflow as required. Sure it ain't cost effective to build either way but it sure'll do the job I reckon.
