Again the rules: 4 people on each side are going to disassemble GM engines, and they
are going to put them in their respected cars after pulling the engines that are in them
out.
They have to assemble them, they're using Holley's new Hi-Ram intake, Holley's motor
mounts, exhaust manifolds if they need them, max pivot plate, lots of great parts, we will
be covering them as they go through, but this thing is about to get started.

Go!
Damn I'm getting out of the way.
These guys are not messing around.
Alright so we've got the Camaro up in the air, these guys making sure it's stable, getting
the hood off, the other team member working on the new motor so they can get this bad
boy out.
These dudes are smart, drove it in but already have the chain on it.
Oh and their engine is coming out of the Camaro at the same time.
Wow.
Hey quit looking over here dudes, pull it.
4 minutes into the competition and both motors are coming out.
You guys could think your good in the wrecking yard when the saws all are just something
and not something good.
Wow, impressive.
We've got an engine already going together on both sides with Holley's new polished aluminum
valve covers.
We've got the GM front drive set up going on and both of the engines are going to be
equipped with Holley's new Hi-Ram and the new Holley HPEFI with full wiring harnesses
so these guys are going to install these things, fire them up, and they're going to self tune
with the HP fuel injection.
These guys are doing good, both teams, a little bit different strategies though.
The school of automotive machinists already put little valve covers and everything on
it and then their pivot plate.
Wow, 8 minutes and 49 seconds is all we're into this deal, hot rod revolution working
a little bit different method with the air pivot plate.
I'll tell you the teams are really really working hard and smart on this deal.
Man all the Georgia boys have got it up in the air, they've got their motor mounts on
with their plates, the fan, the filter, max pivot plate, they're spinning this thing around,
wiring harness is up and going together.
So has Sam they have got this thing really rolling.
man the Georgia boys have hoses on and everything, this is not far off guys.
These people are seriously thrashing close together.
I'll tell you, I know which car will be uglier when done, but man, both of them are going
to flat fly.
What's the time, what do I have on my official time?
12 minutes and 39 seconds.
They're doing wiring, motor is getting set in, even in the rush, the boys from Sam being
polite, they don't say get the hell out of my way you idiot, they say excuse me.
It's a little weird, we're working on cars, your supposed to swear and hit people but
they've got the wiring harness going on the intake manifold on the Georgia side.
The wiring harness is already on the injector harness is already on for the Sam team.
Their fuel is plumbed up front, they've got the new Holley Hi-Ram ready to go, Sam pulls
off the sling but man they're a couple of minutes after the Georgia boys.
I would say that the guys from Georgia are about the same spot, it's like each of these
teams have a couple of different things left to do.
This is car craft here, real guys, thrashing, pain or not, they're going to do it, he's
right this is what Car Craft Magazine is all about, building bitching stuff and doing it
with your buddies and like 400 of your best friends standing and watching you.
How long do they have to run before it Bill?
what's the rule?
What's the rule?
5 miles, how fast?
Just a cruise kind of deal?
If they break down the time restarts.
Ok the kids from the school of automotive machinists have slowed down a little bit.
The Georgia boys still have the same pace, I got to say too they already have their harness
and the computer plugged into the harness.
Uh oh I was going to say they can start this thing.
Hey it ain't over yet boys and girls, it ain't over by a lot, this thing is no where near
done, I know this is a big moment but I will tell you that this thing is not right yet,
shooting fire out of the throttle body like a mad man, it looks like they may have realized
the mistake that I was talking about.
Dude, Georgia boys you got to keep rolling because the kids aren't done yet, they thought
they were, they were not.
They are pulling the intake manifold back off the machine.
Oh I see what the issue is, wiring under the intake manifold that they got pinched in there.
Georgia boys are working it, they're methodical and I'm
telling you the school of automotive machinists is not done yet.
They have started and stopped the clock multiple times thinking they were done but not yet,
it's dram filled.
They got a guy getting in the car, the Camaro is going to start here in just a minute.
And the Monte Carlo drives away under it's own power.
Now let's give a big round of applause for the school of automotive machinists.
38 minutes and 33 seconds their official time.
You guys did a great job, I mean you were thrashing, I know you had to do a lot of practice,
there's no way that you guys did this with very little practice, no body in the world
that knows the school of automotive machinists would believe that so how long have you been
working on getting your game plan down and making this happen?
3 weeks.
For 2 days, in and out with the small block and putting another LS motor in it.
Would you do this all over again right now if they told you to take everything back out,
put it all on the tables again and start over again would you do it just to try and beat
your own time?
Yes.
Absolutely, any time.
Again a big round of applause for the guys from hot rod revolution, the Georgia boys
in the house.
Stayed calm, finished it, what a great competition, you guys should all be proud of yourselves,
these are 8 dudes that are in need of a cold beverage.
