The Forge | The F1 Gets A Donor Engine And Transmission! | Wet Coast Fab

Get ready for a greasy adventure as I transform a heap of metal into an almost-ready-for-a-burnout engine!

Sit back and witness a donor engine and transmission get a new lease on life. From pressure-washing some of the parts clean to swapping out intake manifolds, you're in for a treat.

Join me as I navigate through oil spills, grease stains, and surprisingly clean lifter valleys. Witness the majestic Points Ignition in its natural habitat, making a rare appearance for our viewers.

Watch as I fashion a lift plate, all to hoist the engine with nothing but a tractor. Ever wondered how roomy an engine bay really is? Let's take a tour!

And let's not overlook the drama of the headers. Expected to slip through with ease, they end up becoming divas demanding their own spotlight.

By the end of this thrilling episode, you'll be just as excited as I am for those smoky burnouts...well, almost. I still have a bit more tinkering to do, but that's a story for the next episode.
