Wednesday, October 12th, 2011In this video series, V8TV is upgrading a 1969 Camaro SS 396 for better performance using an Edelbrock Top End Kit consisting of E-Street Heads, a RPM intake manifold, a mild street camshaft, and the required hardware and gaskets to put it all together. They are also adding a Holley Street Avenger Aluminum 670 carburetor for fuel, and an MSD Digital E-Curve distributor for spark. The Camaro will breathe better with a dual MagnaFlow stainless exhaust system, and it will run smoothly on Royal Purple Break-In Oil and Max Gear transmission oil. They’re also adding a Centerforce clutch for more grab. Under the car, they are detailing the subframe and suspension with Eastwood Underhood Black paint, and installing Global West Del-A-Lum bushings up front. A Baer Track disc brake kit is going on for better stopping power, and a Chassis Engineering front sway bar will help this car corer better.

49 in 9… try 7
Monday, October 10th, 2011In 2009 and 2011 Dave Schaub drove his Edelbrock powered 1932 Ford Roadster through two countries and 49 continental United States. Each trip was completed without a hitch. This trip was important to us because Dave was able to complete both of these drives flawlessly utilizing an Edelbrock Crate Motor and Edelbrock Performance Lubricants and these were charity drives to fund the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. These were not your everyday drives. These were very extreme drives; the first one covered 9,856 miles in 8 days. The most resent was in September of 2011 when Dave Schaub drove to 49 states in 7 days, 14 hours and 21 minutes.
Please take the time to watch the interview with Dave Schaub.
A little word from Dave and his views on Edelbrock Performance.
In 2009 and 2011 I did some extreme drives through 49 states to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. Each time I drove my 1932 Ford Roadster, equipped with the Edelbrock Crate Motor.
I’ve logged over 52,000 miles on that motor. The motor still performs like it was new with great power and torque. Driving it hard each day for 18 to 20 hours a day really put the motor to the test. The Edelbrock Performance Lubricants were a big part of the success of the resent “49in7 Drivin’ for the Kids” event. Driving through 49 states in just 7 days, 14 hours and 21 minutes. Now that is a test!
Power that you can depend on… choose Edelbrock!

Mod Jobs – Episode 1
Tuesday, October 4th, 2011ModJobs follows the modification of a 2012 Ford Mustang GT by a team of professionals in four different auto shops throughout Los Angeles. Each week, the series features a different video focusing on one aspect of the modification, and showing you how to do something like this yourself. In fact, the producers of ModJobs actively solicit the community to share input and determine what the car will look like at the end of the process. And once the car is in tip-top, cherry condition, eBay will have it listed on auction, with the proceeds going to help the Patriot Outreach organization.
Patriot Outreach supports military personnel, retirees, veterans, contractors and their families. The mission is twofold: to provide confidential access to effective resources for those people suffering as a result of traumatic experience while in the service of our nation, and to provide a forum whereby experienced professionals can share their expertise and experience. eBay is pleased to provide exposure to this organization that supports our veterans.
If you visit the ModJobs page you will see this week’s episode of ModJobs, as well as links to past episodes. The first video introduces you to the team of well-known automotive experts who will work on the Mustang, as well as their first customization – kicking the horsepower up a notch by installing an Edelbrock E-force supercharger in the car.
