We got Justin and Cory Ridder, Cory's got a 69' Camaro and Justin has his 70' Cutlass
that we're going to race to swap an LS into.
49,000 original miles, my uncle got it in 86' for a high school project, he didn't do
anything with it, my grandfather ended up restoring it or painting it at that time.
Once we're done with this LS swap it's going to be pretty, different car.
This is my 69' Camaro, big block, pretty much nothing stock, aluminum heads, but I'd like
to have a good LS engine for some good drivability so I can do some more of these tours and stuff.
I
think it's unbelievable how fast they did this.
We were all talking about it at the shop and we were like 2 hours, somebody should be able
to do this no problem you know, and they came here and did it in 30 minutes.
How much work did you put in to this thing up to this.
A lot of hours, a lot of hours.
150 hours you said.
Yes.
How many engines went in and out of this car?
just 2.
In and out how many times?
20-30 times.
Thats how they got it down to 30 minutes, so I think the crowd pretty much tripped out
when they saw the dog house come out of that thing, they were like, these guys this isn't
the first time they've done this, but the craziest part was Justin calls me from the
hospital, his wife is in labor, and he's asking me questions and I'm like your at the hospital
and your wife is cool with you calling me?
He said yeah, she's the one who signed me up for this deal, so I want to talk, tell
me a little bit about the new one.
Emerson Gene, our third girl, 7 pounds 6 ounces, 9 days old today, so she doesn't have an idea
of what kind of gear head her dad and her mom are, she'll learn quick.
It's like 32 minutes, I don't have the official time but it was right around 30 minutes, unbelievable.
Amazing it was unbelievable, I mean and I was told our time taking it out wasn't too
bad, it just seemed like it was taking forever, but you know after it was said and done I
was like really?
Those are crazy times, you know.
Yeah you all had that big block out fast.
If we hadn't you know, we got to change the frame out too, they don't have to deal with
that in a small block so we had, you know, a little bit of, and then we had the manual,
it's 2 different beasts but you know, hey, we came here to play no matter what.
Well when you get anxious and your watching another team, it can make you anxious I'm
sure.
Yeah, you know your under an huge amount of stress, knowing everything is on the fly,
your hands are shaking and everything, you know, I got one guy bleeding, yeah we got
a forehead cut, we saw a big block almost lost someone's foot, we appreciate you coming
down, giving it all you had and injuries and all, awesome deal guys.
