That’s a veritable masterpiece right there. You’re gonna need a glass hood. Add that to the list 😂

Good to see Santa with you again

What an engine Randy, absolutely gorgeous, cannot wait to hear that badboy come to life !!!!!!! Continue with the great content 👌

I'm more of a Ford guy when it comes to American cars, but you cant help but admire a 480 hp small block. Plus, no computers or expensive electronics unlike modern cars.

Randy, Congratulations and welcome to the big time. It's been a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, and laughter. Your far away fan in Wichita.

I am a Ford guy, but I love the 87 Monte especially the SS

Their KZfaq channel is That Engine Guy, when I checked Smeding performance channel it wasn't there , just thought I would mention it. Good that they donated this to your car build! Will enjoy watching the build

Nice, positive, cheery/happy video. Thank you.

Omg man I love it 🤩 it's so beautiful man I can't wait to see it go in! and thanks to smeding performance and holly great job!!! For helping Randy we appreciate it

I like it sir. I was debating on either go LS or 383. After watching this video I’m considering on going with a 383 stroker and run it with my Holley efi sniper.

Good morning Randy and Mike aka Santa's Workshop. Getting the Smeding Performance Engine. Now you can finally get started on the Monte Carlo.

That 383 will be a tire slayer lol 😂

Excited to see your build on this!! Should be really cool! Hope it works out!!!

A SBC with all the power you will ever need for the Street !

Whoa haven't seen Austin in a long while

Ooohhh what a sweet engine! I saw the build video 🤩 The Monte Carlo SS is gonna sing! ❤️

Can't wait to hear this bad boy run

Looks great 👍🏾 👊🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dude! What a sick build! Can’t wait to see the project!

Awesome, smeding preformance is a wonderful company. I always appreciate there products.

Great looking engine there Randy. It will sound amazing. Happy to hear that Austin might come over. I sure miss him.

I been waiting on mine since the beginning of February I got them building a custom 700r4 transmission should be done by the end of May I can't wait

With Santa helping can't go wrong.

Love the sound of a healthy small block.

Wow so true Randy beautiful engine! The SS is gonna be a beast! Going to make a great power tour car!

I watched the video from your link with the build on your engine … absolutely sweet ! Can’t wait to see it all put together in the Monte Carlo !

Let the build begin randy, I'm watching every episode brother.

Can't wait to see that bad boy installed. Gonna be a fun ride!

Sounds like a sweet setup…good pick on the engine

Looks great. It’s definitely going to fly once the trans is hooked up.

Santa Freaking Rules ☝🏽🤠

Good Morning Randy, It’s Good Seeing You & Michael (Santa’s Workshop) Back At It Again, This Is An Exciting Build On A Cool Car Man!! Can’t Wait To See That New Heart Dropped On That Super-Sport, Monte Carlo, Cant Wait To Hear That 383 Stroker Running & Driving Man..

Looking out to see your build for this . Beautiful piece of art

Good looking engine! Can’t wait to see it in the MC.

Looks great Randy!

Hi Randy what a beautiful motor can’t wait to se it when done. And drive it for the first time Randy

Watched the build on this and man it sounded awesome

I am pumped for this

That is a sweet engine. If you ever decide to send the Monte to auction, it would be cool if you and Mike could take it to Mecum.That would be something different for the channel. It's a nice car and with that engine, man, it's a winner. Can't wait for the video and hear that bad boy running. I'm sure you will have to take it to Mexico to bury the speedo

I got a tunnel rammed 406 from them like the one they have the video posted about. It made about 30hp less power than the one they did the video on. Identical engine. It made the same power locally on the dyno as on their dyno sheet, but was missing 30hp over the one in their video. It made less than their single carb 406 on their site. I'd imagine yours to not be the same as advertised either.

Nice, can't wait to see this thing rip as I'm sure you can't wait to either

Such a cool video to eat breakfast too😅

Congratulations Randy…hats off to your sponsors. You should put that engine and trans into your step side truck…then have the trucks engine fixed and jam it into to the Monte Carlo. IMHO the truck is cooler than the MC.

I can see why you just looked at for 20 minutes. All the stylistic choices of where to use black, versus polished aluminum, to cast silver... This engine is a beauty to look at. Almost a shame to use it and get it dirty lol

Please cover it back up until works commence so as no outside contaminants enter into that engine anywhere, its a awesome build.

Congratulations

Awe man that's a beautiful engine

Good morning randy and mike, that is a beautiful engine

This’ll be a fun project! Keep it up randy ❤

You got it ✨👍✨cool Randy ..fun…fun 😀

Three power tours😂😂 I will be shocked if it makes it to one. That thing will be sold in less than a month when you're done putting it together. It's your track record😂😂😂😂

This is good, really good!

Whoa that's a cool engine 😲🤘🏽🔥

Nice Engine Randy 😎😎👍👍

Keep up good work

Great video. 👍🏾

What a beast!! Can wait to see you ripping them tires. Just don't get rocks thrown at you 😂

Smeding and Blueprint both make their own blocks. Dont know if Blueprint has the same differences or not. The hand blended valve bowls means someone took a tool and cleaned up the casting in the heads..its not actual porting. Since the heads are made for them they were cast from heads that were ported.

You should do a video of taking the old one out and putting new one in plus the first drive with the new engine.

When you get it in the Monte Carlo straight HEADERS wide open throttle. LAUNCH that bad boy by fire Marshall Bill house 🔥👹

Whoever is watching this video, never give up on your dreams.😇

Guess whose back, 🎅 back again 🎅, da da dadada..

Yrs the Stroker has arrived!! Time to punch it! 😊😊😊😊

Yayyy Mr. Michael 😀🤘🏽🔥

Very nice Engine. #TKGarage needs to come back. Who cares about the haters who don’t like him.

Randy, Awesome engine!

I like y our area wish I lived close to you!! (your shop) , I looked up that area on Zillow :) 55K for that place nice!! So cool you have 2 lots , houses etc.

It would be cool to group up with Austin Carr , Santa and friends on Power Tour 2024 .

Randy, you may want to put the actual link to "That Engine Guy" video with his web site video. It was kinda hard to find the actual video of your 383 stroker. I can't tell from the video but you may want to install a fuel pump with a return line for hot weather or else you may get vapor lock and hard restarting due to fuel boiling into the carb. With a return line it would allow the pressure to go back into the tank instead of the carb.

Coopers are going to bake soon! 😮😮😮😊😊😊

Hey Randy congrats and what a beautiful engine can't wait to see it installed on the Monte. It's going to be bad ass. I think Santa Workshop should also get an engine from smeading on his El Caballero that would be bad ass too. And that would be good car to take to power tour if he comes with you and monkey wrench. Keep up the great content as well.

This will be an awesome build! I'm looking forward to seeing this! Have you decided on what to do with the original drivetrain yet?

Nice motor for the Mc

This engine can also be installed on Mike's 1979 gmc El cabrello

I always wanted to put NASCAR steelies & yellow letter Goodyear Eagles for mine think Coker is making replicas

would be cool for you and MWM to get one of these for the green imp in his copart walk around.

Hey Randy, just saw your video on the new engine for the Monte Carlo. That’s awesome engine. I hope you’re ready for the power tour of 2024 I can’t wait to see you on video because I know you do the power tomorrow with monkey wrench Mike every year so I can’t wait to see the video on that one and I can’t wait to see the tear down and build back up on this new engine you got for the Monte Carlo can’t wait to see the video and if you would, please tell Cell tell Mike from Santa’s workshop I said hi and I like I said I can’t wait to see the next video on the teardown of the engine of the Monte Carlo in the build back up from the one from Smitty performance. Can’t wait to see the video man please keep your videos coming as much as you can. I watch them every time you have one out and I’m already ascribed to my monkey wrench Mike Santas workshop, Austin, Austin cars. i’m already a scribe to all of you guys, so just keep the videos coming man I’ll talk to you later have a good day

Can not forget the oul

Niiiice!

You should try putting an efi on it. Since the car originally had efi.

Only thing I would change is the spark plugs.

Being the certified mechanic that I'm not, you need to drain that oil and refill with Rotella 50SAE diesel motor oil has it has the vitamins and minerals needed for that engine 😉🤣😎

Come on then Randy let’s the the car in and let’s get it fitted can’t wait to hear that puppy running

Sunoco, 94 in Canada

Powahhhhh 🤘🏽🔥

Wow 😮

Dang when you get the engine in you need to get a cowl hood for monte Carlo

The 480hp grew a few inches to 500hp

🎉🎉🎉

I wouldn't be letting that thing out of my sight ...

Dang when you get the engine you need to get a cowl hood for monte Carlo

Awsome😀🔥

So did they sponsor you with this engine?

Randy what are you gonna do about the rear gears and axels and I love the 383

Espresso and Auto Auction Rebuilds in the morning? Yes please!

Fire chief ain't gonna be happy when you rip by with this monster. Offer him a high life, a hot dog and a ride. You might make a new friend.

Hi Randy

Thought Jasper also had a three year warranty as well. Could be wrong though.

What transmission is he pairing w it?
