Engine Power hosts Pat Topolinski and Frankie Forman get to build engines for a living. And they get to do it for an audience as part of PowerNation’s Power Block.
Sounds awesome, right?
Well it is…except there’s much more to it than people realize. So what happens behind the scenes when the cameras are off? What much time really goes into each project? And are there certain projects that stand out above the others? Pat and Frankie share insight into a day in the life of a TV host/engine builder and provide some background on how they got to where they are today.
Hi Pat and Frankie:
I’ve been an fan of the engine power show for many years. You guys do a great job on it.
I have a 1967 Ford Fairlane I’ve been working on for a few years. It has a 289 original engine. I’d like to keep it original, but it needs a freshen up. Are you guys interested in waking up a 289 Ford? I’d love to see what you can do with it, keeping it stock, similar to what you are doing on the Grenada.
Thanks,
Doug
Was attempting to reach out and see if it would be possible to refresh a chevy 292 similar in fashion to the build that you did for Power Nation’s Low N’ Slow?
Good morning Pat and Frankie.
Longtime fan. Thanks for the effort that you both show in the engine builds seen on your show.
A group of us would like to see a build similar to the 302 Ford vs 305 Chevy but having a 307 and 305 Chevy compete.
Showing different characteristics on the torque and horsepower curves and comparing against the DZ 302.
Thanks for all you do and teach on your show.
Thanks and God Bless
