And when it recovers it's a glorious sound!

I know I'm right....
10 years of sitting? Let it be an example of what can be done without a huge amount of pre-prep. ie. draining and changing oil, pre-oiling, tearing the thing apart to make sure the cylinders are not rusted, etc. Just check oil, prime the carb and let 'er rip!
Nobody's said a word about how nice the car is. Straight and seems pretty rust free.

I know I'm shocked by the comments. Geez I thought we were car guys how can you not appreciate a roadrunner that clean and that sounds that good.

It is way too easy to find something wrong or criticize someone else. I have been working on my car for 15 years, and just started driving and enjoying it in the last 3 years. I spent too much time worrying how things looked, and waiting to make upgrades that didn't make too much of a difference in the long run. I wish I would have just focused on getting it ready to drive, and enjoy it. That is why I like Uncle Tony, he is not worried about looks, he is using what he has. He is not spending all that time. He is driving, and enjoying his cars now.
My creed is do something even if it is wrong.
Dad was a perfectionist even he would screw up trying to make it perfect! Ha
No, not really!!
I want results and I don't have a lifetime to get them!

I don't think it's a RB, is it? I didn't see the raised pad on the front of the block.
It's really disappointing. Not surprising though from where it came.
I went and looked at the video again. It's a low deck. Probably a 383. Knowing Tony, it might be the original engine.

I think he mentioned it being a 400 lowdeck

Yeah it’s a 400. He listed the basics on his fuel pump video. sounded decent. I’m not a fan of the glass packs and I’d have progressive linkage and an air filter. But, it ain’t my car and I give kudos to anyone that had a running big block car.

I don't understand all the hate that UTG gets. I mean he is fun and entertaining and is one of the few mopar based YouTube shows. There is a lot of car channels but not alot of mopar only ones. I myself love Tony id love have a garage session with him and talk mopars.

The good thing about a white engine bay is it shows leaks.

I wonder how many of the ball busters write checks rather than doing everything themselves.
