So they add a rear diff brace i never seen before, probly doesnt work. And i see they finally got rid of the stock mounts they had bought in the first episode. And they installed their headers uncoated or unwrapped, and they used the cheapass hardware, why??

Yeah, that pinion brace should keep that aluminum case intact...

This show just looks like one long commercial.

LOL @ "If ya can't find'em... grind'em"

Looks like a recipe for some snapped bolt heads without any support on the backside of that bracket plate. I hope they used some decent bolts, but based on the rest of their work it's doubtful.

U can tell they never worked on a V before. Or built one or whatever.

And im still lol @ the guy after the first episode, he didnt want no more part of it so he wasnt in the 2nd show

And they didnt say nothing about the clutch install or what kind they used

... or put more than an hour's worth of research into it.

WTF are those coil packs supposed to benefit anyway? They even put the stock engine cover back over them. Looks like an easy way to blow $500. But hey... at least the spark plugs have 3 prongs on them!

Pulling the top end apart only to find out you got swindled just reminds me of my 01 mustang gt. Paid 2000 back in 05 from a college kid who just wanted a fuel efficient beater and thought I committed highway robbery. Only to find out after ordering cams, that instead of an already underpowered 260 pi motor, it had an old npi motor out of a 90 something crown vic. Worked out in my favor as I ended up pulling pi heads and a pi intake manifold at the junkyard for a bump in compression.

Not sure how thrilled I'd be after buying a v with the expectation of an ls6 only to find out its not... no matter the deal
