RIP Kyle 😢 He played such a major role in the streetcar/car community!

We are extremely saddened to share that Kyle Loftis, the founder of 1320video, passed away last night. We are in a state of shock.

Kyle’s passion for motorsports inspired millions of people around the world and we will never forget what he has done to grow our beloved sport. Kyle was a beam of light at every gathering… his enthusiasm, kindness, and creativeness was contagious.

Let us pray that Kyle is in a better place.

’s backup engine is done and ready to go! When running a serious motorsports program you have to be prepared. Competition is constantly pushing it to the limit. Having spare parts is the best way to go. This engine is reliable but simple. We kept it HYD roller. We have had a lot of success with this and it reduces a lot of maintenance time at the track. This exact combination is on the website!

Tear down is a very overlooked process at LME. This 2000+HP Big Block (not built by us) came in to hopefully get a new outlook on life. Each engine gets its own cart and is scanned into our system. This keeps your parts organized and ensures it is yours! We take detailed photos and have an engine analysis of every teardown! When having an operation of our size, it is essential to stay organized!
