I thought this was some great old footage and why few engines lasted.

I enjoyed the video very much.  That's probably how most of those cars were treated back then, and why numbers-matching is a rarity nowadays, huh?  He must have done something else to the engine.  Looks like high rise intake and maybe some other things.  Thanks for posting it.

 Yeah, very cool film. Wonder how much removing the air cleaner actually helped?
