STILL LIKE NEW? After 40+ Years, I open a NEW 400 Small Block Chevy to see if it survived…

It’s not every day you get to take a 2000 mile trip in a 58 year old truck, to pick up 2 brand new unopened 42 year old crate engines. But that’s exactly what my wife and I just did. Now that we are home, we open them up to see how much work it will take to revive them after over 40 years in storage.

Be glad she she is at least able to make the trip with you. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and it could always be worse than just messing up directions. My mothers alzheimers makes these kind of trips impossible now and i wish she only made simple mistakes with directions. Dont be angry. Youre still spending time together and is isnt like you were missing any appointments. Enjoy the ride.

There is nothing like a new engine, they sound and run great. It's really awesome waking up to see a new video from you and start the day out with some good hotrod stuff. Can't wait to hear those new shortblocks and can't wait to hear the Malibu and see that run with the new setup.

Back in the very early 1980's I bought two of these 400 small blocks from my local Chevy Dealer. Yes they were short blocks. Crated up just like yours. I believe I gave $300 to $400 each. They both were installed in my own trucks. They were great buys! Wish I had bought the other three they still had.

The guys got loads of important goodys dun to the 'Burb,, especially discovering and correcting those issues with the axles. When you got to the part with Miss Vicki sharing some of the NEW merch I did me a double back flip (no,, not really,, I'm 75!) for joy 'cause just yesterday I told my Wife (of 42 years) I was going to get us each a new mouse pad,, LO AND BEHOLD,, I'm gett'n each of us an 'Old Man's Garage mouse pad!!
