On this episode of Build Tune Race I talk to Alex. Alex is the main person that helped me on the Mazda build know as Clyde. If you have not seen the Videos on YouTube or Facebook on the Build, Clyde is a 1972 Mazda Rx2 we swapped a Gen V L83 Direct Injected engine out of a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500. The main goal of the build was to build a super reliable streetcar to take on Rocky Mountain Race Week. With only a few months remaining until the week long racecar road trip where we Drag Race the car at 4 Different tracks in a week Alex began helping me build the car! At this point I already had the Engine and Trans Mounted but the car still needed almost a complete build! We started with pulling the stock rear end and cleaning up the under side of the car to move on to finishing the engine install and modifying the front steering and swapping the front brakes out to convert the car to 5 Lug. After lots of work with getting the exhaust in the car and figuring out the cooling system the engine was mostly sitting in place. I had to re build the trans tunnel to fit the new 6l80e transmission. After the car was sealed back in we moved on to wiring the car with a new PSI conversion harness and trying to make it work with the factory body harness. During this time we were able to re assemble the new Ford 9in and get the car back to a roller! With 1000 small things still to do we were able to finish everything up just in time for Race Week! Thanks to Alex for all the help this little car is a BLAST and gets a ton of Attention!
