Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Mitchell gives credit to Mark Vincent from Vincent Racing Engines for assembling the motor, including the machine work. Vincent Racing Engines is also known for building engines for Jeff Lutz. He mentions Jeff Lutz Jr. as a key mentor in his own fabrication journey, providing critical advice on material thickness and routing. He also acknowledges Wolf Aircraft for supplying tubing and Red Horse Performance for AN lines and fittings, highlighting their belief in his project. The video then transitions to showing the shop, Triple Seven Performance, owned by John Lawson, a friend who moved to Arlington, Texas, to open the facility. John's personal projects, including a Ford F-150 with a sleeved Coyote engine aiming for 7-second quarter-mile times and a Turbo 400 transmission with a transfer case, are shown. Other customer cars undergoing builds, such as a 2000hp GT350 and a Charger RT with cam and nitrous, are also briefly featured.

Goal: Acknowledge the key contributors to the engine build and provide an overview of the Triple Seven Performance shop.
