Been working on this 350 for my '67 Chevy for like 18 months and today I fired it up. The thing roared to life on like the third try and I legit got emotional. All those nights in the garage, YouTube videos, and mistakes finally paid off. Can't wait to get this truck road ready
This is the kind of thing your kids will remember forever. Building something with your hands and having it actually work. That's real.
A 350 in a '67 Chevy is a killer combo. Please tell me you're planning to take this thing out on the road soon.
Third try is clean. Some engines take a lot longer to cooperate. You clearly knew what you were doing.
18 months of work paying off in that moment has to be incredible. Those kinds of wins are unforgettable. Congrats man, that's a huge accomplishment.
YouTube university ftw. What were some of the biggest challenges you ran into during the rebuild?
Those quiet nights in the garage teaching you problem solving and patience and then it all comes together in one moment. That's beautiful man.

Getting emotional about it is totally normal. You put in the work, figured things out, fixed your mistakes and made it happen. That's earned.
