Turn on subtitles or view the transcript at the bottom of the description if you'd like explanations on what I'm doing throughout the video.

Last time I worked on this car, I got it running and driving after it's been sitting for presumably 41 years. However, It turned out that it has a severely cracked engine block from the cooling system not having any antifreeze in it. I found a replacement engine to install and after that, I got to taking care of a handful of other things to get the car actually roadworthy.
