I was enjoying it until they stuck that Edelbrock carb on top.
Then I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I've run 'em too. However, don't call your video something along the lines of "a tribute to the small block chevy engine" and put a carb on it that was never on any factory SBC...

Wouldn't this look much better ?

Looks like they decked the block. Hope it wasn't supposed to be a "matching numbers" car................

What difference would it make? It's still the same engine.

I wuz ripped off!!

I was expecting to see them disassemble a motor in four real minutes. I though this should be interesting.

Kinda like they had that commercial a few decades ago showing s group of men stripping a car in a minute or two.
