Big Block V8 Engine & Vintage Race Car TIME-LAPSE Restoration

Big Block V-8 Engine Before and After Rebuild

After some unfortunate delays and a good bit of blood, sweat, and tears, this Chrysler-440-V8-powered race car is back to its former glory. It may be a handful on the corners, but hearing it rip up the track again after a 50-year hiatus is the stuff dreams are made of.
