Jessica: Helps Derrick pull the front end of a car off.
My wife: Asks if I really need all my tools.
My EX wife: Get rid of all these damn cars! Adios, Toots. 🤣
My wife says the same thing till it comes to working on her rig then she’s all about turning those 🔧
Mine never asks why I have 4 toolboxes full of tools.. I have one in my wrecker, one in my shop truck and 2 in my shop.. I don't have room to move my toolboxes far so there's one in the front and one in the back of the shop
The rebuttal you should go with is: “Why do you have all these dresses and shoes?”
@@mikescherrer4923 I ask her if we really need 4 boxes of cookie cutters
Pretty excited to see how far we get with this build! Thanks for learning me up some more and letting me hang out! 🙃
So glad Derek doesn't have that long commute to the shop anymore.
@@billyhill2488 this. Think of all the time a feller is savin!
He would be a moron NOT to!
Good to see you on the tools with Derek
You’re a good woman, the term gear head goddess definitely applies! Be blessed!
Ok ..a wife that raises a family, a homemaker and works on cars!!! a guy could say he is really blessed, I love it.
But if they don't go at it like cats & dogs when the camera goes off then that ain't a real relationship
Just got an O’Rielly ad Starring Derek!! Could be the best ad I’ve ever seen! Congrats!
Me too that ad was awsome! Cause you know hes been in alot of other stores!! Nd just as a car guy the stores that also have good tools attract a guy in!!
Hey Derek!!! Long time watchers, first time commenters. Kev and Jemma here. Your Aussie counterparts. BIGBLOCKS4LIFE! I have a 70 Corvette which I found in a barn crashed 45 years ago and currently rebuilding, everything. I feel your pain. "I'll be dipped"
PS My mate Jemma is a doppelganger for your wife. She is the best assistant. She gets in where my fat fingers and arse can't. Big Love from South Australia!!
We have started a drinking game. Every time you say "I don't know...", we have a sip of our Bourbon/Beer. It can get quite dangerous. Keep doing your thing - WE LOVE IT!!!!
"I got Jessica here today..."
A cheer rises from the crowd.
Exactly what I was hearing in my head lol
I’m with ya on that
And she helps with the wrenching!
Dang, she can handle anything you throw at her. Cooking cleaning ,mechanic work. Childbearing and whatever else you need her for. She’s definitely a keeper.
yeup we love Jessica - Best Attitude
Been there before, turns out burnout pads are hard on motors... Who could have ever foreseen this!?
Why nobody, ever!
What? So you're saying "used regularly on a burnout pad" isn't a good selling point?
@@billyhill2488you worded that wrong. It's low miles with new tires.
I was impressing some young ladies (not) doin donuts in my 289 mustang first time I stepped in a puddle of my own oil.
Last time I did a burnout I ended up sending it a bit too hard and a rod ended up exiting stage right!!!
Loving the new shop!
Hey Paul, didn't know you followed Derek, go to see ya.
Now it's your turn for an updated shop Paul. Matt knocked out a wall and expanded his place, now Derek has this one. You should drive the golden nugget through the wall and expand it.......lol
Love your channel I'm a master tech ASE I just viewed your video as a 60 year old lifetime mechanic yourdamage is from valve float from over reving get triple spring valve springs to control the valve float and your valve covers will handle 1.65 rockers easy on rollersystem they are twice as tall as stock I bet you know this already I watch cause you know what your doing just having fun with it good luck friend
"Well it's a double edged, bittersweet, silver lined, serving knife"...Wise words indeed! I'm confident you'll have the car back together in time though. You always manage to pull off what us ordinary folks would deem impossible!
I'll be dipped....,
Last minute stuff no? I'll pretend I didn't know that...............
Those are reminiscent to some Wisconsin words as far as I'm concerned.
jess tell derek he needs to make a full blown race car with a nice paint job call it lndenpance and let the gril wipe all rhe mens asses at the drag strip derek its got to be fast so jess can win the trofhe and bring home the money i dont no
the amount of knowledge by derek is just amazing. knows so much about engines, and cars in general. his kids are lucky that they have someone so willing to teach them useful information. derek is just as lucky to have kids with interest in learning something like this
Couldn’t agree more would love to pick his brain. Just so much knowledge on how things work together and fail. Definitely a guy to sit in the shop and talk old cars with! Sad for the motor bro but I speak for everyone when I say if anyone can make it happen it’s you!
I learned a thing. And I am glad he explained what he was seeing with the pistons and such
My guess is that the sparkelator hose that came off actually hydralocked the cylinder with gasoline (!) with the full throttle and high rpm and caused the push rod to bend.
Bro fr i want a dad like this
@@jaqthedragon6657 My dad had Derek's skills but he was a mean old drunk.
Derek: "I've barely got 2 weeks to diagnose and repair Independence while traveling out of town, hardly any tools, and living out of my suitcase. On the other hand, Jessica's here to help me...PERFECT!"👍😁
Gm 8.1 out of a truck! As a temporary
I'm not a feller, but I sure do enjoy you and your magical car revivals. That Jessica sure is a pretty lady and undoubtedly has the patience of Job. Love ya man... Keep em commin' dude!!!!!
Sorry for the reply. Shoulda paid a little more attention to where I was. 🥴
@@krisdoan2256 Derek regularly shouts out to fellers and fellettes
@@wRAAh I don't mind, he sure is entertaining😊👍
He's always so laid back and self deprecating; I forget he really knows his stuff.
"I don't have any tools" -- pulls out the HF master tool set, engine hoist and Milwaukee electric ratchet. -- This is absolutely my favorite channel.
All he needs are vice grips
Apparently sponsored by Harbor Freight tools now... Hope the Pittsburgh brand China sockets are strong enough to remove rod bolts...
He's come into QUITE a lot of money recently. That much is very very obvious.
A painted floor and home depot lights? It's a pole barn. We're spending less living in TN than MN - if you must know.
@@silasmarner7586 - Kinda like Hoovie selling off his 'hoopties' (Lamborghinis, etc...)
I'd take your time and re build the engine for high rpm's and try and find a temporary motor for Florida. We love videos on the Independence, so the more the better!
I would absolutely agree. Best strategy.
Agree 100%
The series he did on the big block build was soooo good.
I’m with this. A rushed rebuild is a crap rebuild.
Nigel ! Your bonsai videos are awesome! Keep up the awesome work ❗🙂
If it was my rig and I had the options I'd slap a different engine in there for the meet up. And then take the time to rebuild your engine the way it deserves to be done. As a guy that also leads a crazy chaotic life (for different reasons) I understand more obligations than time and resources allow. Keep up the good work!
BBF. I'm just saying....
@@centralbears3010 Mortgage the house and buy a Cammer! lol
Crazy how you can tear down an entire vehicle with $150 worth of harbor freight tools with zero complaints.
Gotta make due👊
Good 'ol American Iron. No specialty tools really needed.
the icon tools are top notch tools for the budget minded feller. and pitsburgh tools only complaint is the long wrenches open end is useless.
icon stand up every bit as good as my snap on and mac tools
Not only that but if you have the can do attitude you can do it with whatever you have at hand
@@stevenbrowneireland a jar of peanut butter and a crescent wrench
This is a great video, seeing the damage up close helps a guy like me, who's never built or even looked at an engine, discover and diagnose the problems and issues.
Onward and outward, though, bringing Jessica in is always a great idea!!!!!
Can't wait for part two!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

We just finished dropping a big block 454 in a “72” Chevelle today. This was my first big block build in some time. One thing we did was replace the body mounts. This gave us more room to install the headers. Everything new in the engine.
As you know, the "captain's side" motor mount has a strong upward torque reaction when the throttle is stabbed. This tension force is much more destructive this mount than the compression force on the "drinker's side" mount. Keep the drinkers side as is and install a distance-limit chain on the captain's side.
Why not just solid motor mounts. I broke one (captain’s, of course) in a 69 GTO in the early 80’s and have had them in all my power cars since. Cheap insurance for cars that get used.
I was thinking the same thing!
yes indeed go solid
there is always using a chain to bolt the motor to the frame too. best of both worlds?
A nice compromise is to use a hockey puck for the drivers side rubber. A little fabrication and you have a nice rigid mount that flexes just a scoche.
Relationship goals right there. Find a good woman who wrenches with ya. Really fun video today folks! Looks like an awesome project ahead of you!
It's amazing how far this car has come, Derek has done wonders for it, I used to live 10 minutes from where this car was kept in the merrillville Indiana area, and drove by it a couple of times wishing someone would do something with it, and it turned out awesome
Thanks, interestingly I am CAR GUY from WARSAW /, spouse *& Family from Valparaiso / HEBRON INDIANA:: a lot of GREAT VEHICLES AROUND INDIANA of course… we relocated to HELENA Valley MT AROUND kids/ Gkids:: some great car finds , barn, storages around here also….( e,g, HAGERTY, TOM Brn Finds, DENNIS Collins, etc,!,).. not much rust here, and no Road salts to speak of …. Interestingly, I did switch to Winter studded Tires on both Our vehicles……etc
I always wondered where in Indiana independence came from. I always thought northwest indiana because I thought I recognized us20 on the time lapse. Feller was a little off.
Dude , you have a great wife! she and the boys are a great help to you!
Man I just came across your channel about a week ago, and let me tell you feller I think I've watched every video already!! The way Derek explains things and involves his family really hits close to home. I remember growing up my pops would have me and my brother holding drop lights, handing wrenches and of course wobble pops!!!. Really cool man!!! As the years gone by I've tried to be same influence on my little humans just to keep some of that old school know how going. Really cool channel.
Wow, thanks!
Around 18:20 Derek reached down to lift the intake off the engine. I though he was going to try to lift the whole block with one arm like a suitcase. I admire Derek but if he had pulled off a one armed suitcase lift of a chevy big block he would be my hero.
Judging from this video your bride is not only a lovely lady, she is auto-smart too! It seems that you have hit the marital jackpot. Congratulations to you both and carry-on! 🏎 👍
You can do it Derek!!! Cheers bro!
Holy shit Troy watches VGG!!! Man I've been a sub for years and had no idea you liked anything other than beer, whiskey and BBQ. Cool to find you here!
T-ROY the legend!!
@@jtyoung706 Funny thing is, I rarely watch cooking videos. I love watching Derek and others that make older vehicles come to life. I also love Sci-Fi. LOL Cheers to ya JT!!!
OoooooooooO snaps T-Roy is back grill responsibly yes sir very much u da man
Just made your red beans and rice last night💪🏼 watch your videos all the time! Big big fan!
I loved Dereks reaction when he opened the tool kit . Classic problem/response,lol.
That's a shame. I've watched that old pile of crap from the day you got it running in the motel parking lot. Then just barely made it home. I know you have put your
Heart and soul into the old gal. That's an
Expensive engine. I can't wait to hear it roar back to life the way only vice grips garage can do! Best of luck with the engine.
Habor Freight needs to sponsor some builds, since we all use some of their tools anyway. lol
WE LOVE WATCHING THE HUSBAND / WIFE SHOWS ,,, MORE HUSBANDS & WIFES NEED TO DO THIS ,,,, THIS IS A TRUE FAMILY SHOW....
Anyone know where a guy goes to trade in his old wife, that won't even wash her car, for one that will turn wrenches with me???????
@@kurtdahlin9258 That's a sad man's dream I'm afraid Kurt, ain't gonna happen, those women are a rare breed and priceless, so Derek in fact is a millionare without probably even knowing it 😞
@@kurtdahlin9258 I have one Im giving away! she come complete with cheating heart and my money!! well, not the money anymore, ended that!!
Wish I had me a woman that would dive in and help like that... Jessica rocks
Replace the bent valve, check all the other valves, check the installed heights, check all the piston deck heights, check all the pushrods, check all the spring pressures, lap all the valves, port the intake to the gaskets, port the exhaust ports, check the rockers, if you have room use 1.8 ratios, more area under the curve, if the lifters are hydraulic go to solid, even if the cam is hydraulic, just go with a tight lash .005-.010 . Good luck.
Even though not a finished product. Completely described the project at hand. Thanks for bringing us along.
A mate of mine keeps some hockey pucks in his toolbox incase a engine mount lets go when he is at a race meet. They do the job when you need one in a pinch. Good luck from Australia.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just keep a spare mount?
@@curtisdefreece9921 hockey pucks are way cheaper.
Good day mate 😁
Watching your Lovely helper. Reminds me of the time My Pop came home from work and found me and my GF at the time under my 58 Merc, replacing the trans. He takes me aside and says "She's a Keeper."
Trans means something else these days Bro!!
"at the time..."
Morgan Freeman says: "he didn't keep her."
@@JasonSmith-tv2zw Note: spelled with a lower case "t".
As long as the Pistons are not cracked and the rings are still good there is no need to replace them just get the valves reworked and put the heads back on it and run it
I agree, the piston-to-valve clearance just got a bit larger after it got "eyebrowed" by the valve or valves. Won't hurt them at all.
totally ok with the +5cc piston volume increase on only 1 cylinder totally won’t hurt to have lower compression on 1.5 cylinders on a 650hp machine
@@Andy47357 actually that little nick on the surface of the piston won't effect anything because every time you get the heads reworked the machine shop will resurface and deck them and that process removes material from the heads will make them set lower
@@billyjackson5799 that still is changing compression ratio! you don’t remove material on a domed piston nor do you get pistons reworked you replace them, have you ever built a engine?
@@Andy47357 that small of a nick won't have any affect the compression and the reason it won't have any effect on the compression is because once the heads get reworked the amount of material removed from them will be equal or greater than that of the tiny scratch on the piston so therefore the compression will not be effected if anything it might go up just a little bit from getting the heads reworked
I've been driving my 1999 Tahoe I picked up after watching pretty much all of Derek's videos. No being mechanically inclined I felt really good pulling it out of the wreck yard and getting it running with the knowledge I acquired watching UA-cam. It blows me away how much Derek knows about ALL of this. My 5.7L 350 could use a lot of work, hopefully one day within the next 37 years I'll know enough to take it apart and rebuild it so I could put another 246k miles on it.
I like how he pulled the front clip off first. I had the same idea but I never saw anyone do it. That motor must be making around 800 horse/700 torque with the procharger on it. Never seen a damaged pushrod guide like that, very odd.
I love how you relate to the everyday "garage mechanic" like myself by using the cheaper Harbor Freight tools. Times are crazy right now and money is tight for families all over the country. Thanks for keeping it real Derrick & Jessica!
I have no idea why anyone buys Snapon or other such brands. I couldn't even tell you how many cars dad and I brought back to life with good ole Craftsman stuff. No garage jewelry needed.
knock the sharp edges off the piston in #6 (to prevent a hot spot and detonation), fix the heads, throw it back together. The errant guideplate parts are too big to get thru the oil pump pickup, so forget about it. I've worked on engines from 3hp to 4,000 - just hurry up and get 'er done.
this
That's kind of what I was thinking
I was thinking the same thing 🤙🤙🤙

Really great to see Jessica helping out again, she is awesome. You both did a great job with such limited resources and with everything going on too - moving is bad enough but across several States really is a big feat. You are both amazing people. And I ain’t kidding ya!
Must hurt to see that after all the time and effort that went in to the build but now is the chance for bigger and better things.
We have faith in you Derek.
A little trick I've learned is to run a solid motor mount on the captain's side and rubber on the drinkers side
Now you got me thinking.. B/c I ran a 468 on purple fuel. . Cracked the transmission housing.. thinking it was a pan leak . All through the pump . All three solid mounts might be the issue. TY man !
How amazing to have a partner that even wants to be there, let alone help out.
Their chemistry is something to behold! 😍😍
i recommend deleteing on inner fenders was good for 15 degrees water temp on my 470ci 800hp trans am burnout car
It's funny how much heat they contain.
Also how much dirt they keep out.
All depends on your rig.
Header wrap is a good alternative, but block heat still stays in the hole.
Take the hood off, heat rises...
@@disgruntledegghead6923 yeah i delete on them in race cars. street cars keep them.
my shaker hood now works as a heat extractor same as fender vents and cowl area
not having a grill makes heat an issue for me haha
im happy if i keep the full forged roller studded pontiac engine under 250
With all the commute time you're saving now, you'll have a bunch of extra time to get this done! I've got faith in a feller.
I got an orielly’s ad and it was like watching one of your videos in it’s own way lol. Glad to see over the years it only get better and better!
love the way you take it in stride.your show continues to be my favorite on the interweb.
It's always nice to see Jess working with Derek, he always seems more focused and productive when she assists
Proboley fewer cold snacks an more WTH you doing now comments there is a reason they call them there females the better half lol
Which by it's self defies human nature . . .
And they're SO sweet with each other! ♥♥
Cause she the boss
She's not to hard on the ol' eyeballs, and keeps herself in good shape. She seems a bit mismatched to ol' Vice Grip himself, but hey love is blind! And she's handy with a wrench or three! She's definitely a keeper!
Right on, glad to see your lovely lady Jessica grab some wrenches and help you get the front end off the Chevelle. She rocks, and you & her are great parents and role models for your sons by being there and teaching them about all things mechanical.
Look forward to the next episode! Thanks man!
Amazing to see how little damage actually happened. I find tear downs probably more interesting that the engine build. I'm sure what ever you plan to do in the next 8 days it will still be a great show. Cant wait to see what happens next
Great flashback. That was my first dirt bike as a youngster.
Love that Jessica is working with you.You two are great together.I love your family and your sons are so adorable, and great workers! A true patriot family and I'm also a true patriot and veteran and I appreciate y'alls work!😊✌🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙋🏽♀️😊You got mad skills Derek...is there anything you can't fix?😄😃
I think that for what you are doing I'd knock the high spot off the impacted piston and drop a different set of heads on it, button it up and see if you can't blow it up next time... Also, I'd go with shaft mounted rockers before girdles, jmo. Good luck 👍
I'm thinking basically the same. Might be kind of a roll the dice thing but I bet it wouldn't cost much to repair the heads, probably just more time investment than anything. Considering how much abuse those burnout engines go through i personally would have a tough time justifying a big reinvestment in the engine since heat will usually melt even the best one you can build or have built. I would probably just do enough to get it running right and hope for the best. Be such a shame to basically start over on such a sweet engine. The piston doesn't look that bad imo
Same
Saw it was snowing in Minnesota, bet your are glad to be down here. Welcome South Brother! WSB
Definitely should put solid motor mounts back in.
Totally thrashed a 4k “budget build” motor that now need a rebuild…I would be devastated!
You’re a fortunate guy there Derek! Keep up the good work! Murica!!
If my dad still had his machine shop i would have you overnight the heads and get them rebuilt, milled, and shipped back the same day. I enjoyed rebuilding heads and could do a set with new hardened seats, new bronze valve guides, and resurfaced in a couple hours. And it was all done on old machines that require a ton of setup and skill compared to all of the current computer controlled machines.
Nick from NicksGarage use solid motor mounts on most of the cars he fix. not sure if on both sides but as i can remember he only puts a solid mount on the side where the motor lifts up because of the torque.
I’ve been to Nick’s garage a few times… nice people working there and Nick’s a great gentleman. Got me some stickers and BB 🧢.
I ran a big block in a Nova stock car, kept the revs under 6000. Used good rubber mounts and a chain. I've seen the side of a block torn out after a bad crash with solid mounts.
"do the cross member bold and drop the drive shaft. Takes about 5 minutes."
It would take me three days haha
It's not hard
Soo great to watch you and Jessica working together. I always say that the work is only what brings the people together and that is what matters most.
It was fun watching the initial build of the engine. It will be just as much fun watching the rebuild and upgrade for it's next home.
Caught it before it exploded. Love watching each project. Keep going strong.
Two of my VGG favorites in this video - Independence Chevelle and Jess helping wrench!
I have all the confidences in you Derek, especially with Jessica wrenching on it with you, (and probably the boys too). Go Team Bieri!!!
The new shop is looking awesome. Can't wait to see more projects in there!
It’s so odd ……I’ve never met you Derek …..not yet anyway ….but I can honestly say I love you. Not in a weird way!!! You’re the kind of guy I wish lived next door to me. Love your channel and the way you make your videos. Please don’t EVER change and don’t EVER stop. Big Love buddy & wishing you every possible success. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸💜🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼
I don’t understand the hate of harbor freight tools in these comments. Their ratchets suck, so do screwdrivers. I have yet to break a chrome socket from them, and I’m using them on extremely rusted bolts on Midwest vehicles.
This channel is probably my favorite. Badass cars and shows what is possible with minimal tools. You can build a car like that with Pittsburg tools if needed.
Loved seeing Jessica work with you! Sending love from MamaCard in Gainesville Florida
Derek, what's your secret to being able to be so productive while FILMING yourself, i honestly wish i have 1/10th of your productivity. It's really awsome to see so much love, not only by the community. But, by you. Jessica and the kiddos aswell. Thanks for the awsome content.
60.59% love and 20% motivation 20.41 determination and all of the didgrical skills 🤪
Rev limiters are a motor saver, going to be interesting to see whats up with the injector, good luck with the motor. Fuel injection can have its issues, but I have had my problems with new carb carb manufacturing defects also.
What is a rev limiter? A small carb?
It does just what it is. It keep you from over revving or Red Lining the engine. ie size 13 limiter lol .
So glad to hear! Only needs new valves, guides, seats, probably a cam, a rocker arm or two, at least one piston, a hone, plus a set of rings and bearings! Good thing it wasn't major ... Your glass-half-full approach is contagious Derek!
This was the most serious VGG video ever. The time crunch is obvious.
Sorry to hear that Derek . I just love the new shop and am so happy for you that you have a nice place close to home to work at.
The tool sets explosions. I replaced my foam gizmos with faced foam insulation board in a thickness determined by your set's dimensions. 4X8 sheets you say? In a year or so you'll need to replace those original replacement covers as time and travel will squish them. But it keeps everything in place and you'll never hear the clatter of tools on the road.
Cool to see Jessica getting in on the action!
thanks Derek for your shows, been on a binge watching the independence Chevelle series.
Again, thanks for what you do! your inspiring and i very much appreciate you! your show helps alleviate my depression disorder!
I found Derek in the "will it run and drive" junker to runner videos, but a guy really knows his shit around high power race motors! Awesome!
First part reminds me of how I would travel to my daughter's town when she was in college, stop by the local HF, buy the cheap tool set, spend the weekend wrenching on the car, etc. - say what you want about HF - those things are good for stuff like that.
Yep, it may not be good but it's Good Enough.
Really interesting tear down. I recorded your run in Indy. So much RPM haha. Good thing I bought a limiter chip for my big block. I should probably check the valve train tolerances after this year.
Find a good crate engine and get Independence moving again. Take your time and rebuild the other engine. You’ll have a spare for Independence or for another build.
Love when u include your family in videos. U. R. LUCKY
Hey! 1 inch wide, 3/8 thick stainless strap from the front of the engine to the frame.. No more broken mounts. This works!!
Hey, I don't know how willing you'd be to switch up some of the electrodigicals but have you ever considered looking into the electric power steering motors out of something like a Prius or Cobalt? You can actually get them relatively cheap, and there's pin out guides online for how to wire them. It'd completely eliminate that PS pump that caused all your issues in the first place, and could be placed behind the firewall in the cab, giving you even more bay room.
Cheers, best of luck. I can't wait to see her ripping again!
Came here to say the same... I've had good luck with the Ford Fiesta ones, nice n' small with easy wiring.
@@mrperkinsofaustria yeah, I initially started out as a Chevy guy doing everything with old iron but as I got older, I'm only 23 now, I started branching off into Toyota and Honda for my daily drivers and that's when I learned about the electric power steering. Saves so much room, easy to do, and honestly more reliable than a fluid system.
How did the power steering pump failure lead to the ruined engine? (Sorry, I don't know all the ins and outs of this stuff.)
@@randallsmerna384 the pulley started to slide off the shaft, threw the belt at high rpm, slapping around, and tearing up a bunch of stuff.
@@randallsmerna384 main issue I believe was it tore all the wiring off for the fans, which caused the motor to overheat pretty rapidly and excessively.
I’m with Nigel on this. Full hi end rebuild but a “donor” engine for Florida.
I always enjoy watching you and Jess working together and supporting each other...its real 💖
You're not gonna believe this, but a guy just got an ad for O'Reilly Auto Parts. But I'll be dipped if it didn't feature Derek himself. Sat here with my mouth gaped open like the Grand Canyon during an earthquake because I was in so much shock from seeing it. And, I did the right thing and watched it all the way through.
Seriously tho, congrats on getting your own ad for O'Reilly Auto Parts, Derek!! I just recently started watching you, and I can already say that I'm extremely happy that you achieved something that incredible.
I just thought that was the best thing ever, and I wasn't expecting it AT ALL.
Anywho, I love the content and I love the channel as a whole. Keep up the phenomenal work, brother. And as always... Keep the greasy side down🤘🏼🇺🇸🤘🏼🇺🇸
You are a blessed man, keep her forever. Wife wrenching with ya.
Suprising no drain plug installed on the pink juice pan.
Love that engine..A guy is looking forward to seeing it rebuilt and running again!
I love this build & everything it represents.
The very first episode I ever watched on your channel was when you gave Independence her name and drove her home. I immediately subscribed. It hurts my heart to see her like this.
I remember you fixing that up and doing massive drive home glad she still got the original paint etc your by far my favorite utuber from across the pond here in uk
That is amazing the valve head didn't pop off. All kinds of bad avoided. Glad it's fixable and not needing sleeves, heads, ect etc. Keep on motoring, everybody everybody and everybody. Yep - 3 times.
"I tapped 6500 RPM way more than I should of" ~ All I can say is build it to run at 7500RPM minimum now.
This
@@ViceGripGarage 7500? thats weak, need to be 9500 rpm... oh hell with it just go snag up a old nascar v8 from hendrick motorsports.

Derick: Remember when I used to buy beaters and use the car trailer as a lift to work on them?
Jess: I don't want to think about that.... are we done yet?
The new shop is looking awesome! Look forward to seeing all the new content from there.
1:40. I can relate. Between the time I was born to where we finally settled in my present home town at 15, my family moved eight times-roughly every two years..,
Def need to build two engine platform for this rig with the schedule she will have. Nice for the fans to see you both infront of the camera when trouble comes knockin.
