Podcasts about v8s

Ford's Vice Chair John Lawler recently dropped a bombshell that's sent ripples through the automotive world: combustion engines will no longer be brand differentiators and automakers will increasingly source them from suppliers to stay competitive against low-cost rivals, particularly from China.For generations, car manufacturers have built their identities around their signature powertrains – Ford's EcoBoost, Chrysler's HEMI, Chevy's small-block V8s – engines that enthusiasts could identify by sound alone. But according to Lawler, "consumers don't really think about powertrains the way they did 30 years ago." The shift toward hybridization has already begun stripping away the unique characteristics of combustion engines as electric motors increasingly provide power boosts and emission reductions.We dubbed this the "skateboard effect" – the standardization that began with electric vehicles is now creeping into traditional combustion engine territory. This raises profound questions about brand identity, warranties, and consumer choice. If Ford, Chevy, and Ram all use identical engines from the same supplier, how will they differentiate their trucks beyond cosmetics and features? What happens when an outsourced engine faces recalls – will we see industry-wide disruptions similar to the Takata airbag crisis? And perhaps most importantly, what does this mean for performance vehicle segments and enthusiast markets that have thrived on distinctive powertrains?This philosophical shift signals how dramatically electrification has changed the industry's trajectory, even for traditional combustion vehicles. While average consumers might not notice the difference, this potential outsourcing strategy represents perhaps the most fundamental change to how cars are designed, built, and marketed since the mass production of the automobile began. Join us as we explore what this means for the future of automotive enthusiasm and brand loyalty in an increasingly homogenized market.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

  In this episode of the podcast, host Javier Proenza is joined by Rhett Baruch, founder of the contemporary art space Rhett Baruch Gallery, for a candid conversation that moves fluidly between car culture and curatorial strategy—touching on everything from VTEC engines and flat-plane V8s to the architecture of gallery identity in Los Angeles. Baruch discusses his unconventional journey from car enthusiast to gallerist, tracing how a passion for craftsmanship, aesthetics, and the tactile qualities of objects evolved into a sharp curatorial practice. With no formal background in the art world, Baruch speaks to the DIY spirit that shaped the gallery's beginnings—from styling vintage design vignettes in his historic Little Bangladesh apartment to leveraging Instagram to cultivate a following of interior designers who would become his first collectors. Throughout the conversation, Baruch emphasizes materiality, intention, and relationships over trend-chasing or institutional pedigree. His eye for precision, born of a background in automotive performance and design, guides Rhett Baruch Gallery's focus on high-quality, often hand-built contemporary works—from the sculptural paintings of Cole Seager and Christopher Ríos to the minimalist interventions of Satoshi Okada. Informed by an understated spirituality and a quiet resistance to conventional art world hierarchies, Baruch's practice speaks to a broader shift in the collector landscape—one where emerging buyers are invited into the fold through aesthetics, storytelling, and trust. This episode offers an illuminating look at how one of LA's most distinct young galleries is redefining what a contemporary art space can be: refined but accessible, rooted in design yet committed to fine art, and always evolving. Highlights include: How Rhett Baruch transitioned from automotive culture to the contemporary art world The role of interior designers in seeding a new generation of art collectors Rhett Baruch Gallery's focus on material quality and process-based practices Thoughts on the art world's relationship to faith, aesthetics, and the "white cube" model Building credibility without an MFA or institutional affiliation Gallery branding, voice, and strategy—from vignettes to vernacular Featured Artists Mentioned: Jonathan Todryk, Cole Seager, Christopher Ríos, Edward, Linda Keeler, Satoshi Okada, Laura Walberg Rhett Baruch Gallery Website: www.rhettbaruch.com Instagram: @rhett.baruch.gallery Listen to the episode on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Patreon (early access) Subscribe, Rate & Review If you enjoyed this conversation, please leave us a five-star review, share the episode, and consider joining our Patreon for early access to new episodes. #ContemporaryArt #ArtPodcast #RhettBaruch #RhettBaruchGallery #LosAngelesArt #EmergingArtists #ArtCollecting #GalleryLife #ArtAndDesign #MaterialityInArt #ArtistInterviews #CarCultureToCurator #ArtWorldInsights

It's unusual to see a new V10 engine go into production these days with the V10 and V12s engines of previous Formula 1, Prototype (LMP) and Grand Touring classes long being replaced by V8s and V6s, but Rodin Cars are bucking the trend with their RC.TEN engine project.Mike Gartrell of  @RodinCars  runs us through some of the ins and outs of this V10 project, including how partners like Neil Brown Engineering have helped with the design and  @PanklRacingSystems  with production.

What you need to know about tuning General Motors' LS engines thanks to Matt Sanford of Tuning-Tips.com.Use “MATT100” to get $100 OFF HPA's Tuning Starter Package:  https://hpcdmy.co/starterbMatt Sanford is a self-taught tuner that you might recognise from his YouTube channel of the same name, or his frequent appearances on mega channels like Cleetus McFarland.Matt has been tuning all types of gasoline and diesel vehicles since his teenage years, but his main speciality and passion is GM's LS family of V8s. In this episode, Matt first tells us how he came up in the diesel tuning world before switching to gasoline engines.While he is fully versed in aftermarket standalone ECUs, Matt prefers using HP Tuner's excellent reflashing platform. We take a deep dive into the Gen 3, 4, and 5 GM engine control modules, discussing how they work, and how we can get the absolute most out of reflashing them.Of special interest is how these computers manage load measurement, using both mass airflow and speed density — and the process you need to go through to properly tune both.The conversation then moves into tuning strategies around adding forced induction and/or an aggressive cam. Many people think you have to put up with reduced driveability with these modifications, but Matt explains that that's simply not the case — if you know what you're doing, a heavily modified LS can drive like a stock motor.This episode is definitely for the LS crew, so if General Motor's ubiquitous V8 is something you have an interest in, this is one you don't want to miss.Follow Matt here:IG: @matt.p.sanford YT: Matt SanfordWWW: www.tuning-tips.comDon't forget, you can use “MATT100” to get $100 OFF HPA's Tuning Starter Package:  https://hpcdmy.co/starterbTimestamps:4:44 How did you get interested in cars?8:02 Where did the interest in tuning come from?13:05 What can the MPH number on a drag strip tell you about your engine tune?19:42 At what point did you get access to a dyno?21:39 Going from tuning gasoline to diesel and then back to gasoline.29:01 Why move from EFI Live to HP Tuners and what is reflashing?41:05 Key differences between tuning a standalone vs factory ECU.48:31 Speed density in the GM world.54:26 How should we be going about the tuning process?1:01:04 HP Tuners built-in calculator for making changes to the virtual VE tables.1:07:26 How do you calibrate MAF? 1:14:33 What is acceptable in terms of a short-term and long-term fuel trim combination?1:19:40 What is spark air mass?1:22:15 High octane and low octane tables.1:31:07 GM's knock control system.1:40:37 Thoughts on MAF-less tuning?1:42:50 Tuning options for a really aggressive cam.1:51:46 Other common mistakes with LS tuning.1:53:40 Injector upgrades.1:57:35 Final 3 questions.

Episode Guest: Charles Coats, serial First Generation Mustang ownerThe trifecta of classic Mustangs—the coupe, convertible, and fastback—captures the essence of 1960s American automotive culture. The coupe, with its sleek and timeless design, offered a balance of style and practicality. The convertible embodied freedom and the open road, perfect for those who wanted to feel the wind in their hair while cruising. The fastback, known for its sporty and aerodynamic silhouette, appealed to performance enthusiasts with its powerful presence and racing pedigree. Each model played a crucial role in establishing the Mustang as an iconic and beloved American muscle car.The first generation Mustangs, produced from 1964.5 to 1967, marked the birth of one of America's most iconic cars. The Mustang was introduced by Ford on April 17, 1964, at the New York World's Fair. Initially dubbed the "1964.5" model, it was technically a 1965 model year vehicle. The Mustang's launch was a groundbreaking moment in automotive history, creating the "pony car" class of American muscle cars—affordable, compact, and sporty cars with long hoods and short rear decks.The 1965 Mustang came in three body styles: coupe, convertible, and fastback, each offering a variety of engine options, from the economical inline-six to the powerful V8s. The car's design, affordability, and performance made it an instant hit, selling over 400,000 units in its first year and surpassing a million within two years.In 1966, the Mustang continued to evolve with minor aesthetic updates, including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers, and gas cap. The car also became more customizable, with new interior and exterior options.By 1967, the Mustang received its first significant redesign to accommodate larger V8 engines and provide a more aggressive stance. The 1967 models featured a more robust front and rear end, revised interior, and improved suspension, making it a favorite among performance enthusiasts.Throughout its early years, the Mustang's combination of style, performance, and affordability cemented its status as a symbol of American automotive ingenuity and a cultural icon.Ford Mustang The Early Years Podcast (social media)The Facebook GroupTheMustangPodcast.com/facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/185146876036328Instagram@mustangpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/mustangpodcast/An Expert's Guide to Maintaining Your Classic Mustangwww.TheMustangPodcast.com/repair

Simon Longdill wasn't impressed with the engines available to him in his class of racing, so he built his own. On this episode of Tuned In, we catch up with the man behind Synergy's small-capacity, ultra-high revving, 400+hp V8s to talk through the ins and outs of these screaming motors and much, much more. Use “SYNERGY50” to get $50 OFF our HPA Engine Building Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/enginepackagebWhile “building your own engine” in the literal sense might sound like a more-than-daunting task for most, with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, this was something that Simon Longdill was more than capable of. Limited to 2.4 litres in his Speedway midget class, Simon hatched an idea that would go on to become a full-time business.Using two sets of 1200cc Kawasaki ZX12R cylinder heads and barrels, Simon got to work creating a vicious 2.4-litre V8 that would go on to crush the competition on its debut in New Zealand, before doing the same in Australia, then doing so well in the US that the rule book was changed and Simon and his team were never invited again. These days, you can find Synergy V8s of differing capacities and power levels motivating all manner of race (and a few street) cars across the globe.In this conversation, we get down into the weeds of this fascinating engine's story, answering all the big questions around the 11,000 RPM screamer's inner workings and development journey. Simon didn't just stop at the first iteration either — these motors have been continuously developed over the last decade as the tech has improved, new lessons are learnt, and big improvements are made. With some fascinating looks into Simon's side projects that include a 400hp BMW 1000RR two-litre V8 built for Bonneville, an 800hp twin-turbo Synergy V8 for Pikes Peak, hydrogen power systems, and plenty more, this is a tech-heavy episode that's going to please anyone with an interest in serious automotive engineering.

Somuchworktodo….

Also, Home Depot versus Harbor Freight, half-digested Citroens, Zach's elk summer sausage, and Electric Wizard, Living Color, Propellerheads and Electronic Excursions in High-Fi.

While you might be able to get away with a little sloppiness when building an engine for a street car, that's not going to fly when it comes to dedicated race engines. In this episode, we sit down with Tom Hughes from Hughes Race Engineering to discuss exactly why that is, how we can ensure we're building our engines right, what makes a great naturally aspirated race engine build, and much more.Use “HUGHES50” to get 50% off our HPA Practical Engine Building Course here: hpcdmy.co/practicalenginebThe conversation this week kicks off with Tom's background and journey towards owning and operating his own high-end engine building business. Tom went through the apprenticeship route, first starting out learning the trade at a reputable race engine builder, before pivoting towards rocketry of all things.After a few years spent building rocket engines for New Zealand's Rocket Lab, Tom decided to put the house up for sale and bet it all on what would become Hughes Race Engineering, which focuses on high-end race engine builds. While the business spends plenty of time building monster RB26s, 3S-GEs, and even GR Yaris G16E-GTSs, Tom's speciality is Toyota's venerable 1UZ-FE quad cam V8. These four-litre alloy V8s have long been used in the popular speedway scene in New Zealand, and Tom is a wizard when it comes to squeezing big power out of them, all while sticking within the restrictive Super Stock class rules.These engines are covered in great detail in this conversation, as is a wider discussion around what needs to be done in order to build dependable, high-revving, naturally aspirated engines that can't hide any shortcomings behind a wall of boost. There's also plenty of talk in this episode around tolerances, flow numbers, when to outsource parts of your process, and much more — so if you're even remotely interested in engine building or starting a business in the industry, this one is well worth your time.Don't forget, use “HUGHES50” to get 50% off our HPA Practical Engine Building Course here: hpcdmy.co/practicalenginebFollow Hughes Race Engineering here:IG: @hughesraceengineeringFB: Hughes Race EngineeringYT: Hughes Race EngineeringWWW: hre.co.nz

This week's JourneyNOW roundtable panel of Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre and Suzie Lind explore listener questions about how literally we should think about the afterlife and the Bible. What exactly does it mean to have a glorified body? Since Jesus bore the scars of his crucifixion in his resurrected body, will we have our own scars in heaven? And, what's the difference between the Bible being inerrant and being true? Plus: Mike discovers that those eggs are a lie, Suzie offers advice from Cheech Marin and Kevin is just Miss Congeniality.  - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna share your experiences driving four-cylinder V8s?

Mike Johnson joins us to discuss the notorious orange Mustang that has grown quite the following in last year. He takes us through the build of the 10 speed 5.0 which often catches people by surprise if they don't recognize the car and its reputation. Mike describes his journey from the Subaru life into the world of V8s and why it suits his purposes. We also discuss the perception of being seen as cocky (despite being an easygoing individual) and how he uses his Mustang for "research" purposes against stage 2 Subarus, angry CTSV owners, and more. The discussion also compares the street racing versus tracking racing lifestyle and the opportunities that have arose ever since the switch. The group also discusses how the following grew so rapidly and how others can do so as well.

For almost three decades, Nicholas Mee has firmly established itself as one of the World's leading Aston Martin specialists. He has built a reputation based on his own passion for Aston Martin and his focus on keeping his customers at the centre of his business. In this interview with Garry Taylor from the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, we hear about the origins of Nicholas Mee's passion and share a journey through his thirty years of selling cars. In this honest and entertaining interview, Nicholas shares the highs and lows of the last thirty years alongside some memories of Aston Martin luminaries that he has met along the way and the changes in the brand that he has seen from the V8s of the late 70s to the Ford take over and the Gaydon era cars. He also shares with us some predictions for the future and his thoughts on the heritage vehicle economy in general.

On today's show: a trip back in Pontiac history; splitting V8s in half and building overhead cam engines; electric vehicle fire meets an electric fire truck; plus this week's special guest, automotive photojournalist and swap meet entrepreneur Brad Ocock. Informative automotive buffoonery sponsored by Complete Auto Parts and Oakwood Tire Company. Enjoy the show!

In this week's podcast Robert is joined by Darren Palmer, Vice-President of Global EV Programs at Ford, to learn more about how their development of the F150 Lightning, with its V2X capability, is at the forefront of their electrification strategy and the vehicle they believe will take EVs mainstream. Forget about the noisy V8s….the new sound of performance is silence!

Nelson Racing Engines produces some of the greatest aftermarket V8 engine packages on earth, and in this week's episode of Tuned In, NRE's founder, Tom Nelson, is here to talk us through the process from design, to fabrication, assembly, and finally, face-melting dyno runs.  Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inEven if you don't recognise the name, you've probably seen Tom's work in films like Furious 7, in which Vin Diesel's character, Dom Toretto, drives the Nelson Super Cars 1968 Dodge Charger, ‘Maximus'. That impressive machine was built in-house from the ground up, and features a 9.4-litre 2200hp twin-turbo Hemi motor — one of many incredible V8 packages that Nelson Racing Engines offer.In this episode, Tom looks back over his career, discussing his early days building fences in order to save up and buy a machine shop, through to his move into building complete turn-key cars costing upwards of a million dollars, and to his pumping ultra-high performance engine package business. Tom was one of the first in the V8 scene to recognise the potential of turbocharging over supercharging, and as such, he also has a huge amount of experience in not just building turbocharged V8s, but designing and fabricating the turbochargers themselves. Podcast host Andre Simon and Tom also dive into the ultra-high performance engine building world, discussing what it takes to make huge power reliably, and how to balance the aesthetics that NRE is so famous for with performance and serviceability. Lastly, Tom also talks business, discussing what has and hasn't worked over the decades, and exactly why his products — whether that be engine packages or full turn-key, Riddler-level builds, cost what they do. Follow Nelson Racing Engines here:IG: @nelsonracingenginesFB: @Nelson Racing EnginesWWW: nelsonracingengines.comInterested in learning to build your own performance engine?

Few things seem like more fun than bashing around the Maine woods in a Ford F-150 Raptor. And that's just what America on the Road Co-Host Chris Teague did this past week. We've tested Raptors before but this one was equipped with an upgraded package that included 37-inch 50R17LT BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Among other things, the beefy sidewall tires improved the ground clearance of the off-road marvel by over an inch. And they also had some other unexpected effects. Power was never a problem with 450 horsepower readily available from the 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6. It channels its power through a 10-speed automatic transmission and a standard four-wheel-drive system and a two-speed transfer case. The Raptor's suspension is remarkably supple, meant to glide over obstructions instead of confronting them. The big question is this: after driving the Raptor with 37-inchers does Chris Teague prefer it to the Ram 1500 TRX? And what does Host Jack Nerad have to say about all that? In addition to having his own opinions about the Ford F-150 Raptor Nerad also tested another off-roader this week — the Lexus GX 460. While the Lexus name doesn't always conjure up an off-road image, the GX 460 is in many ways more at home on the trail than on suburban avenues. Underneath it is a truck that owes a lot to the fabled Toyota 4Runner. In fact, you could look at it as a more potent 4Runner since it is powered by a 301-horsepower 4.6-liter V8. Its one of a dwindling handful of V8s left on the market and delivers more power than the 4Runner's V-6. With four-wheel-drive and 329 lb-ft of peak torque, the Lexus GX 460 offers a robust 6,500-pound towing capacity. And it has trailer sway control to enhance straight-line tracking with a boat or camping trailer behind. In all, the Lexus GX 460 might not be what many of its prospective buyers think it will be with virtues they don't anticipate and foibles that might frustrate them. We'll discuss all of that in this episode of America on the Road. In the news, there is reason to be concerned if you're sharing the roadways with drivers who are misusing some advanced driver assistance systems. According to a new study, many drivers are asking those systems to perform tasks they are not capable of handling. And the results could be tragic for them and for others on the highway. We'll have the details on that coming up. Also in the news, recent federal legislation has thrown the EV market up in the air. Now government trade regulators are in talks with their European counterparts to try to resolve the problems it has caused. But once the law has been passed can its obvious flaws be fixed? We'll tell you our opinions next. And there are new developments in the partnership between Honda and Sony on electric vehicles. They've set a date, though they don't have a bridal registry anywhere. More to come on that too. Our special guest this week is Brittany Grande, GM Field Service Engineer She and Host Jack Nerad will talk about the critical shortage of auto technicians that is currently plaguing the industry. It might represent a big opportunity for you or someone you know. General Motors has a program that can make a big difference. And we'll talk with her about that. All that and more is served up hot right here on America on the Road.

In the BIG 9-5 Coyne starts it off talking about how he realized he actually isn't a great driver without traction control, and reminisces about the Import VS Domestic war that seems to have gone away. NEWS FLASH: There's a new mustang coming, and it is very mediocre, which starts the BROS down a path talking about how anything that isn't incredible is perceived as bad these days. This leads to talking about how V8s have been good for so long, that new ones don't seem as impressive. Next on the docket Garrett talks about the GR Corolla reviews that came out last week, and how it's expectedly really good. Speaking of cars that are hard to buy, Coyne brings up a Cadillac LYRIQ advertisement that he heard on a podcast and for the next several minutes the BROS just rip in to it at how bad and un-descriptive it is about trying to sell the car. And finally, tipping 2.0 Enjoy CAR BROS? Support us through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4494333

GUEST HOST: David Menzies So, the other day, the latest issue of Car and Driver plopped in my mailbox. Well, that's not completely true. I don't have a mailbox. I'm one of those second-class Canadians who doesn't receive home mail delivery… I schlep over to some community mailbox thingy for the privilege of carting home copious quantities of junk mail. I did eventually crack open that September issue of Car and Driver and was surprised to see it was their second annual all-Electric Vehicle issue. Surprised, that is, because when Car and Driver published their first all-EV issue last year, the periodical received perhaps the greatest amount of hate mail in Car and Driver's 67-year history. Who knew? Turns out most Car and Driver readers care less about EVs and more about V8s. GUEST: Ex-police officer and Toronto mayoral candidate Blake Acton. FINALLY: Your messages to me!

Dodge unveiled their new "Muscle" car EV concept to much controversy and I discuss how they're actually using it to get you to buy more V8s. I also talk Koenigsegg and how their new CC850 is an engineering masterpiece.

FEAR OF FINES FOR BOX JUNCTION MISTAKESWith local authorities outside of London, allowed to prosecute those who misuse yellow box junctions from June 2022, the fear that drivers could be mistakenly fined was announced. The RAC said that many are incorrectly painted, laid out, located and even hidden from clear view for those approaching.

Formula One will have new power units from 2025 that will run on 100% sustainable fuels.  So how big a change is that going to be? As great as the shift from V8s to hybrids? And while many governments around the world seem to speak today only of electric cars as the future, how powerful a message will Formula One be sending that the future of cars and mobility doesn't have to be all-electric? To help us answer this, we spoke to Scuderia Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto and his F1 fuel partner István Kapitány, Shell's Global Executive Vice president for mobility. Your host as always on #ThinkingFoward is James Allen.

Alex and Tucker discuss the controversy surrounding the Pebble Beach Concourse winner, Mercedes suspending sales of V8s in the U.S., and the new GR86 and 400Z!
