The man isn't wrong and I can't find any faults with his line of thinking.

This started pretty interesting then he just went down memory lane for way too long.

Yeah, sadly his age is really starting to show. I just hope that he is able to publish something complete before he's gone.

Really cool visualization there is how the engine doesn't really push out the exhaust gasses with the piston more than it says, "okay I'm done with this flame" opens up the valve and the pressure difference looks as if it nearly gets sucked out in a fraction of a stroke.

What happens when you put a BMW S50B32 (from the Euro E36 M3) in a lightweight high downforce car with a driver that could drive the route with his eyes closed?

I think this is the only one that made big power, he took it apart and found he just bent a rod slightly. It's already back together and frightening sleepy Pennsylvanian towns.

When's the episode where they replace every bolt with hand milled ones? Is it right after the episode where they welded all the bolts in, resulting in them having to grind them out again because planning ahead is for other people?

If I seem bitter, it's only because I want more episodes. :(

I like seeing those kinds of project, but I think they're over-egging how difficult it is. People have been putting Honda engines into Minis for 20 years. Those subframes are available off the shelf yet they're acting like it was a bespoke part they had made to order.

Late 60's so there is a good change they were def too young to ever be in a car without 3 points at the front. Mandatory rear belts mid 70's, the lap seat belt for the middle passenger was early 90's I think, might have been later.

Three point belts were required for the front seats in the US beginning in 1968. My '67 Camaro did not have them, but it did have the hard point in the roof for the shoulder belt (GM knew they were going to be required soon). The Impala has the shoulder belts, you can see them in some of the shots. But they were the type that tucked into a clip in the roof liner, and used a second receptacle. As little as seat belts were used back then, the shoulder belts were used by almost no one.
