Does anyone know the status of his condition?

@@woodyw6891 I heard a man say in a Dennis Collins video last week that Steve's condition has improved drastically 👍 The doctors are calling it a miracle, the man said! 🙌

​@@woodyw6891No. Only that last update Rick Debruhle gave us said it was going to be a long recovery.

It could only be worse if he'd used a 5.4 Triton...

That was a year ago. He is now selling everything to pay medical bills.

Thanks 👍

Back around 86 a buddy's older bro dropped a "400hp chev 350" in a fairmont. Not sure if it was really 400hp ,but nothing much around could keep up with it either. What a heck of a sleeper. About 2 weeks of that and he was swapping in another rear end 😆

Two words………Tom Bailey’s Sick Camaro….. 5.9 seconds street car

@@PhiddyPford - Tom Bailey's 1969 Camaro ran 6.52.

Reminds me of an episode of Home Improvement when Tim and Al went to a Scottish festival to compete in the caber toss. Tim comments on the quality of Al’s restoration… but wondered aloud why he chose an 84 Mercury Grand Marquis wagon

Hello martin lobley, greetings to Britain! I spend a semester at the University of Stirling in Scotland back in 1985 that introduced me to music from The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. that I still listen to! I remember taking a long weekend bus trip from Stirling to London aboard a double deck transit bus (not one of the old school red city busses, a high speed commuter) and seeing a brand new Aston Martin Volante on a flat bed truck in the next lane. I think it must have been being delivered to its new owner but I loved its design! As for the ultimate junkyard score story, I think Scapa Flow is a good one. The German High Seas Fleet of WWI is "handed over" to the victors at the end of hostilities. After sitting idle at anchor at Scapa Flow for over a year with German "skeleton crews" as the victors squabbled over the fate of these once mighty warships, a secret pact was forged to SCUTTLE over 60 warships by quietly opening sea valves and letting them sink! After the dust settled - and many massive battlewagons settled under as much as 50 feet of water - a London scrap yard owner convinced the British authorities he wanted to BUY the sunken fleet. The story of how Ernest Cox did the impossible and raised most of the sunken behemoths and floated them to London area scrap yards for recycling! That's the Junkyard Spirit! It is told that Ernest Cox later regretted the operation and barely made a profit. But its the thought that counts! In an alternate reality I'd shoot some underwater episodes of The Junkyard Crawl at Scapa Flow! Until then, we can dream. Thanks again for writing and "cheers" to Britain. Oh and please forgive me for my occasional "Lucas Electricals...Prince of Darkness" references. American cars have just as many electrical gremlins.... -Steve Magnante

@@SteveMagnante haha no need for the Lucas apology, I’ve worked with their stuff long enough and they have the same rep here! Funny though. Looking forward to the Scapa Flow episode 😂 Go easy mate.

It is in no way authentic to it's era. The Fairmont preceded the "computer car". They were all carbureted. And used pushrod engines.

@@geraldscott4302 ,They had Hilborn mechanical fuel injection and Ford had the SOHC Cammer engine.

@@geraldscott4302 Thanks Gerald, but I was not referring to the Fairmont era. The fairmont sucked, I know becasue I owned one back in the day. I was referring to the use of modern technology while staying as true to the altered wheelbase funnycar era as possible, even if its partially appearance only.

@@Hotrod1965 Sadly, modern technology is what ruined modern cars. A car like the Fairmont was when new, but way more reliable, is what we need today.

@@geraldscott4302 They were definitely more user serviceable but modern cars will give you 200,000 miles with nothing more than basic maintenance. Late 70s and early 80 cars were done before 100K. The one thing I will concede is this variable valve crap needs to go away.

Steve, might be waiting on parts for that project. He talked about it, with UTG. I'm not 100% sure.

Great question
