    One of my favourite things about this is how calm he is, so many folks think you need to be so high energy all the time, crazy camera shots and over editing, unnecessary music etc etc. I feel more relaxed and in a better mood after watching a fellers video.

    Look...I'm a 71 year old retired nurse and I don't know the service end of a carburetor from a piston and I watched every single moment of this build, marveling at Derrick and his humor, his patience and his tremendous ability to explain. I learned a little bit about building an engine and a lot about how splendid a feller can be.
    It was awesome.

      @@bmck9097 Did my first one in my early 20s. Punched out 302 build into a Fairlane. Spent a lot of time researching parts combos, machine work, assembly procedures, etc. Promptly bent the cheap pushrods I used on the first test drive (didn't cheap out on the replacement set lol), had some kinks to work out with the throttle linkage, started the engine compartment on fire due to oil on the headers while adjusting the valves, but once I got it dialed in, she was a screamer that would keep pulling past 6500 RPM. It felt good that I put 40k miles on it and there was not a single time I drove it that it didn't do a red line pull. Didn't scatter parts and had good compression when I got rid of it so I consider that a big win for a first build. Some of the funnest times I ever had building and driving that car.

    You remind me of the two mechanics in the little town in Kansas where I went to grade school. Neither of them ever got excited about anything and yet they could build engines and fix cars like it was nothing.
    That engine sounds so good.

    I have a couple friends who rebuild engines and are always trying to talk to me...and usually I just smile and nod because I don't have the foggiest idea what they're talking about. I've done plenty of maintenance on engines and swapped out a part or two, but I've never built an engine. At first I almost passed this series up because of that, but now I'm glad I watched because I learned a thing or two. Very interesting series...thank you!

    I watched the series from the beginning to the end. Even though I don't have a big block myself it gave me some ideas for the spare 5.3l 3rd Gen LS I picked up last summer for my old 04 Silverado. The truck itself has become a practice project to get it road safe again as it needs the frame replaced/fixed. Since I took auto body back in high school it gives me the chance to brush up on my painting & body skills again as well. Plus it gives me the opportunity to practice welding body panels. I was more for painting and body prep during class so I never got much welding in. As for the spare engine, it gives me the chance to learn how to build one which I never got the chance to try. My father always maintained his vehicles but not to the point of doing engine building. Mostly just standard maintenance. Once something got bad enough my parents just junked their vehicles, I despise the throw-away mentality. Plus I put too much money into it trying to fix it up when I was driving it to just scrap it. Either way it's going to be a bit. I already have an 81 Yamaha YZ 465 project that comes first. Once the weather starts warming up I'll start collecting parts. :)

      Years later he kept getting weaker and weaker for months and didn't know why. He got so bad that his wife finally took him to the hospital. They found he had cancer all over his body. They gave him 6 months. I visited him everyday, until he died just 6 days later.
      He wanted me to have the car but I couldn't store it, I already have a 72 lemans. He gave it to great friend of ours just down the street who had the means to keep it and rebuild it. It now runs again and gets driven in his honor.
