The fact that that engine made it all the way to Daltons, survived several minutes of redline, nearly seized, re-started, then went another minute before fully seizing, is amazing.

Angus is freaking hilarious. Together with Kevin is gold. Kevin+Angus+Dalton is almost like a comedy routine not a car show.

Angus is truly the character that just collects loot
He earned his coveralls from rescuing the slick side
He earned the matching jacket from the barn of cars and loose tools
Now he has earned bear blanket from this adventure

The Impala EARNED the small block. It literally FOUGHT for it's LIFE to get you somewhere, even though it was dead sick. So looking forward to see it soldier on in the future with V8 power and overall roadworthy again! 😍

I have never in my life felt so sorry for a car. How that little sucker held together long enough to even get to Dalton's amazes me. On the other hand, i have never laughed so hard over a video in my life. Well done Sirs and I can't wait to see what's next for the little Impala that could.

I swear, Kevin was DYING for most of this vid. I think he reaaalllyyy liked the fact that someone else was suffering as much as he usually does!

this is a classic testament to the saying "a chevy will run like shit longer than most cars will run good" and im all for it.

@robertsrandomrevivals9809 2 years ago

Please do a teardown episode on that engine. I think we'd all like to see the carnage!

The car in Paris Tx. Is a 1975 Bricklin. I've had it five years. Work in progress

Dashing through the countryside in a big blue cloud of smoke. Oh what fun it is to drive this Rusty Chevrolet.

The exhaust leak and oil fumes mustve been getting to me, too. Laughing my head off at these un-bear-able jokes.

The neighbors say they really enjoy looking at it sitting next to the school bus. Said they're going to call the county on me, I'm guessing for some kind of award.

@chrisnwilm 2 years ago

Definitely need a teardown video of that engine.

Them 3.8’s are strong little engines when firing on all 6.

@TimeBucks 2 years ago

This was very impressive.

@mattsitton6826 9 months ago

The good thing is if you had to leave it on the side of the road near Dalton’s house, everyone would just think it was his.😂😂😂

@poohssmartbrother1146 2 years ago

I don't know what I want more, a teardown of that 3800, or a teardown of the 351 out of the wagon. Regardless, this was a JYD classic.

@andreanastacio9548 2 years ago

The catch can "fix" was honestly pretty genius... All that was missing was some way to have the oil recurculate back into the engine without needing to stop (maybe even by repurposing the windshield washer motor as an oil injection device, similar to what Deboss garage did in a fairly recent video where he drove a duramax Chevy with a blown head gasket from Texas up to the border). Rigging up something like that probably would have doubled the range between oil refills, which to be fair probably wouldn`t have made much of a difference
