You're the one who said that other engine builders don't warranty their engines, which heavily implies that this was a warranty job. You need to pay attention to what you type. I can guarantee that Steve doesn't drive 4 hours to help anyone who bought an smx. I'm not even against it. It makes sense for Steve to do this. This is absolutely not standard treatment for anyone who buys an engine through him, and if you could get him to do something like this, the bill would be a lot more than what he'll charge Cleetus. If you bought an smx, you're a customer. Cleetus is an advertisement.

Cleetus got steve the subs he has and steve basically gave him that engine in return. The fact that cleetus is mad is not steves fault, he said that over and over. He wants to go in a different direction, every time he says that it works out well for him ive been watching him for like 7 years. Steve isnt going anywhere, his engines are still bitchin and everyone knows it. theyre still friends, this is racing.

Hello Steve, been a follower since I found out you were building motors from scratch. Extremely impressed with your very complete and reliable designs. I can't imagine how many hours of planning, programming, and testing went into getting the first one done, and then the additional 1,000's of hours spent refining it and perfecting them for production runs. I can't imagine the cost of all of that but I hope you are now able to reimburse yourself. I started out learning this stuff in a very modern EDM shop, Norman Noble in Ohio. I first learned to run the 2 Japax 5 head Wire EDM machines that were used to make surgical scissors for Johnson and Johnson, and heart cathedrals. It was not very exciting, but I got my foot in the door with zero experience at that time responding to an ad asking for a minimum 5 year guy. They couldn't find anybody else, but I didn't know that and called in to at least try to get in. I told them I was fascinated by the machining side of things and really wanted to learn, and that I learned quick so they hired me. I didn't realize how lucky I was at that time because it is one of the biggest EDM shops in America, and had the only 2 5 -head machines in the Country at that time. Then I moved onto Wire EDM, making military parts including Patriot missile parts and F16 landing gear, tool and die stuff and Heart cathedrals for J&J, and even Ohio Class sub parts. Many don't know this, but there is no "forming" or bending of metal allowed on any Nuke Sub. It has to be machined or welded. I got a job closer to home and worked for Arc Drilling and Dynamic balancing and learned there to do very close tolerance work. Many of our jobs, which included Involute gear cutters for Swiss machining stations had multiple + or - .0002" specs. Then I moved but continued on learning and learned to run CNC Conventional EDM machines, more wire work and finally CNC Mills. I loved learning the tech and was blown away at what was now possible. We also had 2 5-head Mills but the only jobs they were used for was for subbing out the machines for a guy who made custom S.S. props for race boats. Btw, no I'm not applying. lol I just wanted to share my background and after growing up in a drag racing family, and learning what can be done with modern machining, what you have done is on par with 1 in a billion. My dad, who passed 2 years ago, would be in awe of what you have accomplished. He built drag race motors for 30 years prior to his passing. He also went 5.99 in the 1/4 with a Turbo'd big block Chevy at 235mph in his Top Dragster. I can't imagine a low 3 second 1/8 mile at 180mph but he did it. Once they allowed Turbo's into the Top Dragster class his 7.70's car changed into a low 6 second machine. I got to drive the 7's rails of his and my brothers, but sadly, I was a 1,000 miles away once they went to Turbos so I never got to drive anything that fast. You guys are often going faster in the 1/8 then I did in the 1/4 going 7.70 at 172mph, my best pass. My 1/8 mile Et's were in the 4.40's at 147 mph. I can not imagine going 180 in the 1/8 mile, but I'd sure like to experience that one day. It's people like you that make that possible for us, and I can't thank you enough for all that you have brought to the field of racing, and speed and power. I wish you the best of everything, and I hope that God Blesses your intentions. You have made a massive contribution to this World, and I just wanted to thank you in full. I appreciate all the tech videos as well. I have learned a lot watching them and feel like I'm at the edge of my seat when you show how some things are done. Fascinating, to say the least. That you Mr. Morris for what you have done, and for sticking to it no matter how difficult it must have been to do. I am very grateful to you for that, and for sharing so much of it here.

The issue Cleet seems to run into is throwing everything together at the last minute, not doing proper inspections and tear downs, little to no testing and expecting top performance out of the car at the end of the day. Mullet has been pushed much much further than it was ever intended to be, Cleet has said as much. When KSR built that chassis it was meant to be a e85 LS powered stock suspension deal. We now have a water jacketed pro mod engine, back halfed car. The chassis, wheelbase and weight are really limiting factors to what that car can do at this point.

Like if you first cut out the V and either side of the bottom end with a bandsaw, ofc leaving plenty of clearance for the milling machines to have some wiggle room, you could probably use it for a whole bunch of other smaller parts, and save on how much of that block goes back to the recycling guys!

I feel like a lot of people forgot that the old engine that was in mullet was a Steve Morris engine. It was the one that was a step below the SMX.

That block is a real nice piece of jewelry. It's still just a little too heavy to hang around your neck though. Those side water jacket plates are super nice too. Say, those water jacket plates might be cool if they were really scaled down to make key chain tags. Might be a money making idea for you.

Shouldn’t have wasted your time. Guy throws you under the bus after he and frat boy buds destroy everything they touch. Not a true ASE or higher rated mechanic in the bunch. More to jumping from 7s to 6s than big wallet full of fanboys money.

Just finished watching Cleetus McFarland video on Mullet and did not like what he had to say about the SMX and the problems he has caused. You have done nothing but support the man and product through everything. Lost respect for the man ....

Well Garrett did admit to abusing the SMX against the recommendations of Steve. But come on man that is just racing, and besides, it can also be considered R&D for Steve Morris.

In my racing carred everytime that I did something that the engine bulder recmimended not doing ended in bad results. Whern I took the pieces back got the builder and got the I told you so, kinda gard to blame hime and bad mouth him when I was the problem. Cleetus really thrashes his equipment and you don't see many maintaince videos, just replacing the carnage.

26:10 this got my mindset back to the valve spring issues with high lift cams ..... so i know you have mad skill's .... totally redesign strictly drag and drive racing head design 4 valves per cylinder in a effort to reduce valve spring failure .... more valves less lift theoretically

That 6.0 PowerStroke most likely has a high-pressure oil leak, it will probably start after it cools down depending on what is leaking. Stand pipes and dummy plugs for the oil rails were very common as well as the STC fitting at the pump and O-rings at the top of the injectors. I've been a Ford dealer tech for 38 years and have worked on too many of these.

Kyle, check icp pressure gonna need 500 psi for it to start, super common failure hpop leak. Likely a stan pipe or injector top seal. If you use the truck for towing, i would recommend an oil cooler (they fill with junk, and it gets into injectors and ruins them.. could even be a dummy plug (front block off) cheers fellow 6.0
