Two Guys Garage Podcast

In this episode, former Ford engineer Kevin Byrd and former magazine Editor and Content Director REVan Evan Smith reveal the full, untold story of Ford’s secret Boss 351 V10 Mustang. They discuss how the unauthorized "skunkworks" team secretly engineered the 11-second naturally aspirated engine and how one of the prototypes was hidden away for two decades before finally being restored and inducted into the Ford Heritage Collection.

From video game inspiration to shaping modern racing performance, industry legend Reggie Wynn joins the guys once again to break down his next big chapter and talk all things boost. The crew discusses how advanced in-house R&D is revolutionizing the aftermarket, the rise of 50-state emissions-compliant factory upgrades, and why platforms like the Ford EcoBoost, BMW B58, and twin-turbo Corvette are rewriting the rules of street performance.

Kevin and Willie sit down with King of the Hammers champion Brad Lovell to talk about his storied career and the upcoming "Build for Off Road" Adventure Ride. He gives a glimpse into the highs and lows of competing and reveals how the anticipated trip will test both man and machine in a different way than a high-stakes race, highlighting the camaraderie and shared struggle that makes off-roading so special.

Garen Nicoghosian, Head of Design at Multimatic Inc. and former Ford Racing Design Manager, joins the podcast to discuss bringing legendary machines like the Ford GT, S197 Mustang, and NASCAR Fusion from a clean sheet of paper to the show floor and track. Garen breaks down his journey into automotive design, balancing strict aerodynamics with striking aesthetics, and translating a lifelong passion into a storied career.

Rick Love of Vintage Air returns to the podcast with an exploration of the history and technology behind modern A/C systems. “Our expectations for when we’re driving our hot rods or our muscle cars have changed a lot through the years” states Rick, “and part of that is the expectation of comfort when you’re running down the road.” Tune in as he and the guys discuss how new components have made it easier than ever to add efficient cooling to classic cars, transforming them into comfortable and reliable daily drivers.
