  • When I brought back these two brand new in the crate 400 SBC short blocks I figured they would need taken apart. Vicki’s 400 didn’t need anything! But the one for the 55 was another story.

      @Terry Caldwell OK So nobody is saying he reinvented the wheel .
      I don't really care where he gets his information we all get are information from somewhere.
      So Bill got his information from x .
      Then past it on using his UTube channel to do so .
      I don't see anything wrong with that . . Or should I?

    We have a little cabin in amish country here in michigan. We've gotten to know our amish neighbors pretty well. They have turned us on to alot of local amish shops. They have no store fronts and are generally run out of the barn at their homes. The families all work together to stock the "stores" with everything from home grown popcorn, handmade candies, clothing, jerkies, cheese, and a million other things depending on the farm your at.

    Y'all didn't have to send my shirts and my wife's Blue Src Hoodie without the sign. I understood that the signs were not ready and it was Christmas gifts except for my t-shirt anyways. But I very much appreciate it. Yellowstone was damn good tonight. Me and the wife enjoyed it after our deer tenderloin and baked potato dinner. The wife said she wants to go Amish country now. Maybe on our road trip next year. Thanks again yall. Just next time if you see my last name on an order for NW Florida don't rush my order if something hasn't arrived yet. I understand shipping is expensive and I am not an impatient person. I would like an option on the website to add some of Mrs. Vicki's cookies though.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I loved the video! When we lived in Ohio it was a big tradition to go to Amish country. My husband knew I would come home with quite a haul. At the time I still quilted so I would hit quite a few stores. I have lived in California for almost 10 years and now I live in Georgia. It was so wonderful to see the cheese shop. Back to Bob, that man is such a craftsman. He amazes me. That man is worth his weight in gold! Now I have to check out Yellowstone. Love that show.

    Hey Bill, any content you churn out is GRADE AAA! Whether it’s nuts n bolts in the garage, visiting Uncle Bob, helping Uncle Bucko or retrieving parts from Mark or Terry at Jegs… it’s all good. Especially enjoyed your trip to Berlin, showed the wife the cheese shop and she says “WE GOT TO GO!” Your content is RIVETING, and I crack up at chipmunk Vicki. Keep it coming Old Man, don’t change a thing. Scotty from Lancaster.

    Used to have a JD Model 40 2-popper--no fun plowing snow backwards with a plow on the 3 link. Just oicked up a $200 Chev 400 SB, the seller helped me load and I didn't notice neither of us put in the cast crank until I got home. His response was, "you leave the driveway, the sale is final" but I ran the serial number on the cast iron intake on this Suburban engine--turned out its a Corvette unit worth $200 retail after its soaked in molasses dip to clean up. So it's a good excuse to make a 7 litre small block--all things occur for a reason.

    I think there is more to the story of those 400's than anyone knows. I've seen before where manufacturers have donated engines to schools for training and they have come back in less than desirable condition.
    It brought great joy to my heart to see your dad on a piece of equipment again. It would seem our prayers have been answered.

    Just wanted to thank you for putting a little footage of harvest in this video . I have my parents whom are in mid 80's watching all 3 channels , they are old gearheads lol..
    But when the footage of your dad on the old JD 's and the Gleaner came on my dad's eyes lit up , it must have brought back some old memories because he told me a couple stories of him and his siblings and my Grandparents
    at harvest time ...
    I don't know that I would have ever heard those stories if it hadn't been for this video. Thanks again Bill !
    I don't think you have any idea how many people you bring great joy with this video's
    Oh yeah my dad agrees with your dad .... he says if it's green and yellow it don't need but 2 cylinder to get the job done . 😎

There was a old Mail Pouch barn off of Rt. 33 we were heading back to Belpre from of Old Man’s Caves and I pulled over to snap a picture of it with the 35 mm camera I borrowed from my old racing buddy Gib. The picture is hanging in our living room till this day with all of the other pictures I had taken at the caves.

    40 year old engines sitting for years in mostly dry Arizona, on some wherehouse shelf that was probably 160 degrees or higher for decades through who knows how many summers, no assembly Lube that is oil based, would make it through without drying up. I bought 1 (the same 80's Era 400, almost 2 decades ago here in AZ, and it was just like the 1 going into your Dad's 55. Disassembled it, got it hot tanked, and crank minimal polished, then reassembled w/Molly assembly Lube, and it is still running almost 200k miles later in a friend's van type motorhome, with stock iron heads on it.
    So, yours should be fine too. Still un-run, brand new, but 40 yrs. Old, high but reasonable expectations. Neither of us could have reasonable expectations of not finding some rust or dry sink oil issues with 40 yr. old new small blocks I would not expect. Still, great finds all the same for an old GM small block lover like yourself.
    I hope they meet dyno expectations also 1 by 1.

    I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in here for what it's worth.. I have had one of those fireplace inserts. Probably for the last 12 years it holds 40 pounds of pellets in the hopper. I've got it set up on a thermostat so it shuts down and starts up by itself. This year is the 1st year that they have really went up in price for the most part they have been around $4.50 a bag which they will last about A-day and a 1/2 on 40 pounds. But if you want you could keep your house 80゚ no problem with that thing and so easy to refill no splitting no cutting wood. You can pick the pellets up at menards even. But you have to watch where you buy them from some are better than others and they have a high ash content and turn to creosol in your burn pot..

    Seeing you and Ms Vicky happy is contagious. I think I may have busted out a smile myself. Enjoy your night together in front of the TV and relax.

    That looked like a wonderful little trip Bill, even if it rained. Those stores were awesome and Miss Vicki had such a big smile on her face like a kid in a candy store. That`s where her face really lit up...chocolates..lol. What a relaxing trip. I need one of those. I saw the live shoot on Billy`s new engine, what a screamer!! 8200RPM! Over 600hp on race gas, I forget the torque, but should launch great with boost. Watch the hp soar boosted. This should take the S10 up a big notch. Hope all goes well with both 400`s, would love to see a dyno vid on Miss Vicki`s 400 as well as Pop`s. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, wish I could do that in person and visit those shops. That was cool. Thanks again for the wonderful distraction from rough times.❤
    Stay safe all, God Bless

    The "Gasoline & Freedom" shirt is a nice design. I was born and raised in Ohio but now live in FL so seeing the Christmas decorations and snow falling made miss the season! I really enjoyed the video.

    Did you know it was 89 sunny HOT degrees in West Palm Beach today ! YEAH HOT as all get out and the humidity is still through the roof. Send us some of that cool weather, I got a TON of yard work to do. P/S Grind the crank .010/.010 put it on V blocks and check it for straightness. If it was me, I would get it all re balanced as well, your already got it all apart, no reason not to.

    I’ve installed pellet stoves for over 20 years you won’t be disappointed with a pellet stove ! Just make sure you put a liner in the chimney and also an outside source of combustion air !

    Had a free standing wood stove in our house in the low country, it had a good strong blower on it. Bank a good fire and that old stove would heat the whole house and could actually be too hot in the den. The pellet stove will be a purchase that you will never regret. Miss that house. Always something when you build a new engine. So good to see you two enjoying your semi- retirement. Great content Bill and Vickie!! God bless you and your family and friends.
