ENGINEERING UNBOXED: Lincoln 4510 CNC Plasma Table
Gale Banks explains why the fabrication department chose the new Lincoln Torchmate 4510 CNC plasma table for fast, accurate, and cost-effective cutting of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The system compliments Banks' existing manufacturing equipment, allowing the team to create one-off parts fast and easy without tying up our production laser.

Our '66 Chevy hits the dyno! | BANKS BUILT Ep 3
Our '66 Chevy big window C20 hits the dyno. We find out just how much power it makes with the '99 Mr. Goodwrench 350 crate engine and a very dirty stock air filter. Watch Gale calculate the air density loss between the truck's grille and intake manifold. This is the power that the engine could be making but isn't.

How we'll gather data from our '66 Chevy C20 | BANKS BUILT Ep 2
The Mr. Goodwrench 350 crate engine is rated at 190-250 horsepower. How much do you think it'll actually make on the dyno? We aim to find out. But putting our 1966 Chevy C20 on the chassis dyno will only tell us the horsepower it's making at the wheels. We want to know more! Like, how much power is the old air filter costing? How much air density are we losing between the truck's grille and intake manifold? To calculate this, we'll need to measure and compare ambient air density to manifold air density. Watch as the guys install the necessary sensors and make a mess along the way.

R&D Update: Dyno Chassis Fabrication
Banks Dyno Cell No. 2 is getting a major upgrade. However, we didn't just hire an outside contractor to design and fabricate the dyno chassis, engine carts, or water cooling system. Everything is being done in-house. Gale Banks explains why.
