Why couldn't you guys be more truthful in your "budget ". I started with a good built 383 sbc, I happened to have a solid 454 laying around. Aluminium heads, new pro built

[rickrasmussen]

I enjoy these budget race cars! Cleetus did this and it is WAY more entertaining! Thanks Guys. God Bless.

[dariusduvall]

I can’t find neither of those for 3k xD maybe the Monte if it’s a roller but you guys should do legit 3k limit car included

[nobodyspecial]

Sorry Finn….. not everyone has a running 454 just sitting around or a caged car set up for racing …. As much as i enjoy the content 99.9% of your viewers would be well over 10 grand for what Newbern or Tony have at the end of the day…. Unfortunately for us we don’t have Summit or Edelbrock or Hot Rod Magazine or “insert speed parts company here” in our pocket…. So you really need to put out a more realistic challenge…. Am a big fan but this kills it

$1000 for a caged monte and a 383? Tony got a smokin deal on that one

[sergiosolis]

I've been wondering when you would bring back the "Attempted Murder Nova". Thanks for bringing it back.

It comes down to what do you want to do pay with sweat or pay with money?

[bxhhddby]

Man you guys are always trolling me...thinking it was a new episode

[cartmanrlsusall]

Without the modification that Monte would sell for 5k here in Louisiana

"Smoke that Nova, that never works".

[jamessawyer]

It was all over the track! I love it! Haha

[Idratherbeonvacation]

Can we get an update on the two engine Impala?

[TheDisLive]

This type of show is the best I love Hot Rods the most Las Vegas Baby!

C’mon guys! I went 7.50’s in the 80’s with a $200 rebuilt 402 bbc, L88 cam, Weiand xcelerater, 800 Holley, Muncie and A12 bolt w/6.14 gears, when I wasn’t replacing broken axles!! 67 Camaro

[Degenerate]

I have a 95 S10 with a blown 2.2 and a wrecked 02 Chevy 1500 with a LS In it. Would love to combine the 2 but just simply don’t have the money.

I really enjoyed this episode. While I know its Roadkill, I really wish you would have picked up a spray can of flat black, a roll of masking tape, and maybe pulled some old newspaper out of a rash can, so you could have touched up the black trim around the windows. Not talking about doing super neat job about it, just taking one hour or less. Would have drastically improved the look of that car. Maybe the next episode when it is featured?

Also looked like the heater hoses had been removed and Finnegan mentioned wanting heat at the beginning of the episode. Thought the other connections at the water pump and thermostat might just be capped off and potentially be easy to hook that heater back up. Heater core may have been leaking so no go, but would have been worth a try.

One last thing: Moweaqua is pronounced Moe-we'-kwa. Kwa as in quality.

[calvincrews]

That’s a great looking Monte Carlo VS Nova both look like they’re in S/S Superstock drag racing I’m pretending it’s the 80’s

[albertgaspar]

liking that old olive green ramp truck--where's the video on that build?

[DJTAZ]

That nova with the 454 is nasty. Me likey

[ABsnova]

I feel like the only true way to test and have a vs with a 3k budget is to both teams have a base 260hp crate gm 350 then start from there with 3k$
