900 HP T-Bucket Rumble - Turn Up Your Speakers!

1923 Model T, "T-Bucket"...approx 900 HP on a blown Chevy 454 built by Russ Miley Racing Engines out of Petal MS. An amazing sound from this engine....from the low rumble at idle to the deafening thunder at full throttle. Hope you enjoy. I certainly enjoyed making the video.

if you dont mind what was that switch in 0:15

@gunbojason That's an MSD Ignition Timing Controller. I can advance or retard the ignition timing depending on what I need at the time. Don't even need to get out of the car and mess with the distributor. Once it's setup, I can start the car without putting excessive pressure on the starter and flywheel and then advance the timing for more performance. It's well worth its cost. Thanks for asking.

nice alignment

@berlow7 Thanks. I use 2 x 4's that I run along the rims and down the side of the car. Works well.

@JCHRISTLUVSYOU Thanks for your comment. Car was "Desktop" Dynoed at over 1,000 hp when first built. It was running bad when I took this video. Only on one carb and not even getting into the secondaries. Had just come out of winter storage. Timing was way off, backfiring, etc. So don't go by the sound alone. Today, it runs great. Thanks for your comment.

You drive that thing barefoot ? Nice haha ..

:D

@meangene1000 oh nice i didn' t know this thing existed and thanks for answering

[meangene1000]

@FerrarisRock By the way, the engine weight is significantly less than 800lbs, even with the blower. Don't forget the aluminum intake, aluminum heads, aluminum pistons and super-light headers which extend to the rear. Also, the flywheel has been lightened. I keep waiting for it to explode....but I don't overdo the revs. Engine built by a racing engine builder down in Mississippi. Thanks again for your research and comments.

@71Merc

Thanks Merc. I have no choice about being barefoot. The gas pedal and brake pedal are too close to each other and it's not safe to drive with shoes on.

By the way, for all of you folks out there, when I took this video THE CAR WAS RUNNING ON ONLY ONE CARBURETOR! No, I'm not kidding. The linkage was screwed up. If you look at the rear carb thru the windshield, you'll see that its linkage never moves. It's now running on BOTH carbs plus the NOS system. Goes like a batouttahell!

LOL being barefoot adds a nice touch. Awesome T!
