Wizard will be inquiring about that island in the Bahamas with a real intent to purchase

[@adamwilson2203]

This was hilarious and cringeworthy all at the same time. The Wizard's expressions throughout the whole video were fantastic, a mix of I told you so and doomsday forecasting. The best wizard face was when it comes off the flatbed. "I'm not impressed", lol lol. Content like this is what keeps me coming back to this train wreck channel!

[@joelspaulding5964]

Great camera angle for the drive. This car deserves any and all due attention.

[@franciscodanconia4324]

Why would Wizard be mad? He can see a bill for a full 427 rebuild coming.

[@JohnG6]

Not likely. Removal and installation maybe but I think the wizard has said he doesn't have the time to build engines.

[@joe6096]

@@JohnG6 Yup, Wizard doesn't do engine rebuilds. Need a specialty shop for that, and frankly, I wouldn't want anyone who doesn't do nothing but full engine tear downs and rebuilds full time to touch it. Gotta do it right too. Balance and blueprint the crank, replace the oil pump with a Melling high volume performance oil pump, hone the cylinder walls, square the decks, and I'd replace all the rockers, valve springs, and pushrods with Crower performance. High lift cam, advance the timing, really make it a beast in sheeps clothing.

New crate engine

[@joe6096]

@@rsprockets7846 Meh, crate engines and LS swaps are so blah. There's no fun in swapping motors. Here's Hoovie's chance to make a real customized motor. He could do a few episodes for the channel from an engine shop. Show how you tear down, blueprint, balance, and rebuild a motor from bearings up.

My 69 sat for 15 years then I bought it and after replacing plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Fresh gas and she fired right up. Rebuilt the trans and did some more work then I had to park it for 3 years. Cleaned the points and again fired right up! She’s got a super healthy 472 big block v8

"smells like bearings" the Wizard really uses all his senses to diagnose and fix cars

[@user-pt2ke6gl5p]

That engine probably ran without oil or something

[@SavageBunny1]

A spun rod bearing does have a certain smell to it.

[@brentsrx7]

When you can smell the bearings, bad, very bad things are happening to that engine.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

All six senses to diagnose the car, and then he used telepathy to tell that Hoovie had a bad idea in his head, and then his ability to see the future for the new engine he's going to need.

[@BobMonkeypimp]

My dad was an old-school mechanic. He could usually hear or smell the problems before taking the engine apart.

[@oneuniverseable]

Send the 427 to the guy at motoiq. Have him rebuild it and get it WPC treated. Make that corvette sing!

Aw man, Wizard's expression on mentioning and LS swap, and on showing back up on the truck bed are AWESOME. So what have we learned from this everyone; ignore the Wizard's advice, and you get about 10 miles before you end up back on his doorstep. XD

Since that's not the original engine, you can put whatever you want in it. If you want to drive it around and go get groceries with it, stick a small block in it. Won't effect the resale. It'll handle a whole lot better too.
