  Putting that back into the car will be absolutely awesome, "numbers matching" engine dropped back into this car will just add to the complete absurdity of it all.

  I can&apos;t think of a more deserving engine to get a 2nd chance at life!<br>The Titanic 400!<br>Excellent perseverance my friend.

  Your little speech on not giving up was believe it or not, was inspiring. In March 2019 I had a brain bleed and then about two weeks later, I had bacterial meningitis! And then my wife just passed away from cancer. Talking about wanting to give up. I’ve been down big time

  I&apos;m a Pontiac guy from &apos; Back In The Day&apos; and have torn down a lot of &quot; Junkyard Fresh &quot; Pontiac engines and have seen a lot of sludge in my day but nothing like that. Well done!

  I could not stop watching that engine come apart — I got irate when my bride asked me to pause and help her out for a couple minutes about 2/3s thru! Anyone else would have turned that into a boat anchor. Simply AMAZING!!!

  I honestly did not expect that outcome. That was amazing!! I’m so glad that engine will live on to eat up more tires 🍺🍺

  Interesting tear down…I’d have to say that’s the worst one I’ve seen too! Been doing heavy line repair and motor builds for 35+ years.<br>Defiantly worth trying to salvage. Those old motors are getting really hard to find.

  I&apos;ve never been on an archeological dig inside a 400 Pontiac engine before. &nbsp;Nor did I ever consider the possibility. &nbsp; Much respect if you can get that engine running and back home in the holey goat. &nbsp;I continue to be amazed at what you&apos;re up to. &nbsp;Keep going!

  Amazing what a little vinegar, patience, and elbow grease can do! Now that you&apos;ve discovered the power of vinegar, you&apos;ll be throwing every rusty tool and part you can find in that bucket! It does lose its potency after a few big jobs, but it&apos;s cheap to replace!

  I bet you can sell an image of that engine like that with all the dirt in it to one of the oil companies like havoline or Valvoline or something. &quot;If you&apos;re not using our oil your engine could end up like this&quot; &nbsp;I can damn near see the commercial now lol.
