After the turn of the century, in the clear blue skies over Germany, came a roar and a thunder man had never heard..

cannot agree more with you :D (Y)

I still got one never been opened

Very cool!

Here, in russia, getting a v8 is too expensive for a young builder like me, so we are kinda stuck to using a stock zmz 402 motor (is case if you are building a “Volga”). It’s a 2.45 liter overhead valve inline 4, making 100 hp stock. With a modified stock carburetor (again, close to zero performance options in this department, the best one is getting one from a truck), custom exhaust and a higher profile camshaft you can get this engine to 130-140 hp. That’s good for about 11sec 0-60 time and it’s pretty big improvement for a car, that in stock form goes 0-60 in about 20 seconds

ganymedeIV4, yeah I’m older than dirt! I remember when the ‘65 mustang was introduced and they made a big deal about how it could go 0-60 in 8 seconds. Today a Toyota Yaris would beat that. My old ‘55 with its ‘blue-flame six’ was a big step up from riding a bicycle.

Awsome car.and effort you put in your car.you hotroded it.great job.and i know it felt good too

dick liddle, it was a very torque-y motor. Chevy put them in a lot of trucks. But it wasn’t very fast. I was a kid at the time and I loved mine. My ‘55 was a 4-door 150 with a 3-speed on the column. Nothing fancy. It was a cab for a while before I owned it.

No back window, no way to see over your shoulder, no windshield, short wheel base... another "never ever meet your heros" moment.. its better to look at than drive.

I agree Tay S. The Pontiac OHC 6 Cylinder was a GREAT engine. I had a Firebird with one. It was a real kick to drive. My first "new" car as a teen in the '60s. Looking back, John Delorean certainly knew what he was doing. Pontiac offered some good OEM speed parts for it & I bought them all; as my paychecks would allow. The best were the high-lift camshaft & upgraded rocker arms, valve springs a performance intake & 4bbl carb. I eventually had a custom exhaust header made & new 2.5" exhaust with a cut-out to open the exhaust; for the track & weekend street racing. 🙂These modifications made a big improvement in both torque & horsepower. My Firebird came without AC & had a 3:73, limited slip//posi differential. It was quick. These engines were offered in the Tempest as well. I test drove the Tempest & the Firebird. The Firebird was my first choice. The Tempest seemed too heavy for the 6cyl. Regardless, I wanted the Firebird more than the Tempest. I eventually sold my Firebird & used the cash to special order a new '69 GTO Judge, Ram Air IV, 4spd & hide-a-way headlights. I've gone through 2 wives...but...my Judge is still here. 🙂 BTW: The big issues with the 6cyl OHC PMD Engines (in stock form) were the timing "belt" and the rocker arms. The timing belt replacement intervals could NOT be neglected. To cut costs, Pontiac used cheaper rocker arms made of very low-quality metal. Even with casual//easy driving, it was common for them to break; usually after the warranty expired. In my...present day...opinion, it was "intentional" sabotage by GM...to cast a shadow over Mr. Delorean. He was surrounded by enemies at PMD//GM. This engine was his conception. After he created The GTO, he was despised by the "top brass" at Chevrolet. In their opinion, The Pontiac GTO was directly responsible for diminishing Corvette sales. I apologize for this lengthy montage...watched Fireball 500 tonight & ended-up here. So, I thought I'd write this to ya'...BUT...didn't intend to go-on to this degree. 🙂 Best regards, Ben

I Have One In My 67 Firebird Sprint Has A Rochester 4 Barrel Carburetor Makes 215 HP People Love It At Car Shows And Alot Of People Never Seen One Of These Engines 👀🤠🇨🇦

Well, most of our guys in our crowd considered the Pontiac OHV 6 an interesting toy. If you were looking for a six, you looked towards the Mopar Slant six. Especially with its iconic long ram 4 bbl Hyper Pak. But for a year or so, the Pontiac OVH was considered one of the cool engines of the times....

@@cindys1819 Slant 6 is a great engine. But it is very hard to extract any great performance out of them with the stock head unless you force feed them. Can't have the same head from the original 170 and expect to to breath on a 225.

I still got one never been opened

I think building models really started my love for modifying cars. I could never build one like on the box. I was always combining several model kits together and it would drive my mom nuts. She wasn't too shocked when I started doing it with real cars when I was around 14.

I still got one never been opened took me years to find

@@adamwalker1132 That's pretty cool. Who did that kit? Was it Revell? I don't remember, I just remember the car. Thinking about it, I seem to recall doing two of them, the regular model and then a smaller version. I think it was about half the size of the regular model. Either way, a very cool car.

It is reville I think it 1/68scale

I have it packed away

@@adamwalker1132 I though that the one I had was theirs. I can see the box in my beady little mind.

You can go to Walmart today and still find the Munsters Coffin Dragster "Hot Wheels" on the the pegs, I"ve seen it

It was the Monkee Mobile that got me...... "here we come...."

Love that show....so cool

D. D.D. your exactly rite....

He has a video with the same guy, featuring Dragula & the Munster Coach

This is not the real "red barron". They should have explained that better

@@zr1402 You're right, i believe the real original one is in the Museum of American Speed in Nebraska

Both have total loss oil systems

YES! especially in the clip as they are driving down the road. sounded very "aerial!"

Sounds like the Mercedes engines that were in the German Albatross fighters. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fs16nM583qrbYpc.html

@@kevinvawser8003 Fun fact: Those old planes used castor oil for lubrication. And the loss of oil you mentioned was in fact a real thing - which meant after returning from sorties the aerodrome's toilet was a very highly frequented place...

@@ranekeisenkralle8265 didn't realise it was castor oil.. now we know when "grandpa smell" started.

I hate carsvvthst burn oil its so easy to fit new rings or valve seals if that bloke is supposed to be such a guru don,t pat him on the backchastise him for letting the car get run downand blow so much fucking smoke shhesh that would give you a headache in no time

@@stephenmiller7388 The lack of punctuation and spaces between words might give someone a headache too.

James Sawchuk there’s several Twin mill reproductions that have been built if your interested google it
