I made a short video about my car. It’s more of an ad for this site than anything, I guess. Anyone who knows us even a little bit will be able to tell that it’s a joke. Anyways, here you go:

Okay, so…
By now you’ve surely noticed that it seems to start getting dark out at like, 4:00 PM or something. It must be almost winter time again. And although it doesn’t snow in Phoenix, we figure there’s no reason why it can’t snow on the internet. Yeah, technically, it’s not winter yet, but whatever.

FFT: Pulling the 455 Top End
Amidst all of the 2012 SEMA hubbub, I bring you the latest installment on my 455 Oldsmobile-powered 1965 C-10, better known as: The Futuramic Farm Truck.
As you know this time of year is not a productive in terms of free hours to work or money to spend. I’ve been putting off breaking out the impact gun and yanking the top end on the 455 because I spun it over and checked the oil when I traded it for my boat anchor smog-era 350.

SEMA 2012: Chevrolet 2014 LT1 V8 Engine
You may have heard that Chevrolet will be unveiling the new seventh-generation Corvette in 2014. What you may not have heard is that it will also be packing an all-new powerplant: the LT1.
We got a sneak preview of the new engine at SEMA 2012. Chevrolet had a completed engine on a stand as well as a display showing each of the engine’s internals. Before we go into what’s new, I’d like to take a moment to talk about the history of the LT1 name.
