The car is obviously Marty Palbykin's 70 GTO as the Judge stuff is still on the rear quarters, but, I have heard that Big Chief is personalizing a few things on the car.
Hope to see it soon on one of the new seasons of SO shows. Tom V.

This guy speculates he is running the same small block Pontiac from the old car.

Not sure who the guy is doing the narration, but he could have been better. The Cro-Mod certainly does not have a Titanium Chassis as stated. Also, I never seem to get a handle on the Small Block/Big Block crap with the Pontiac engine. To me and people who know the Pontiac engine, I guess the small block would be the 61-63 4-cyl.? That's a "small block" Pontiac, missing 1/2 of it's cylinders. Fairly certain the new crow would have the 482 iron block IA II he has been running for years, with a switch down the road to the all aluminum solid block IA II he also has. That is probably the block the CV heads will be going on. That's just my guess. It should be an interesting year for the show and Chief's program.

If anything our Pontiacs are "mid-size" blocks. I havent asked which block so dont have an answer. I'd speculate the iron block gets CV1's similar to/same as Fultons with something in a larger port for the aluminum block. We will find out when it debuts I guess. Glad hes going with black... "Crow" and white just never seemed to fit IMO |

I'd bet the car will look just like the old Crow.

I was told the driveline and engine would basically be similar to the previous Crow Pontiac engines but now with the CV1-1 cylinder heads and intake manifold parts.

Chief explained, in one of the episodes, that it was easier for others (non Pontiac people) to understand it as a "small block" because of it's relatively "small" cubic inch compared to what others were running at the time.

he explained it in a thread here also, and why he called the 72 lemans a 70 Judge

So the above video was shot at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, CA. Anyone know why he brought the car all the way out here?

Probably because it's still winter in his state.

I just saw a promo showing the new Crow racing a car the Fast N Loud guys built. It looks like the same track.

The Vegas track is 4 hours closer, nicer, and the area has other perks. Although I'm sure a day rental at Fontana is much cheaper than Las Vegas.
