Installing a 540ci Stroker Big Block in Independence Chevelle

In a big jam for time, we reached out to our friends at Blue Print Engines, and got our hands on this 540 big block chevy. We're in a race against time to get this installed, tuned, and tested before the next competition this upcoming weekend!

I’m 73 year grandma and have depression etc and I can watch vice grip and he really lifts me up. He is so smart and funny, good medicine for me and I learn things too

A guy really owes a feller a cold snack - the girlfriends car wouldn't start and her mechanic told her it was the starter motor (it wasn't). A guy was 73.9% sure it was either a sensor or bad ground (it was). A gal saved on a lot of money and stress, and a guy is now considered a hero, and owes it all to this channel! Cheers VGG! 🍻

A fellers grandfather passed away about a month ago. He really loved watching you revive the cars and driving them home. Every time I would go to his house he would ask “Is Vice grip garage on”? He also did 6 years of service in the Air Force. He went in in 1954 and got out in 1959 then did 39 years at fisher body as a supervisor in the body assembly department. I’ve still got photos of his brand new 1955 Oldsmobile 88 that he drove to California and back to Michigan. I just wanted to say thank you making memories with me and my grand father that I can enjoy till the day I die. God bless you

Absolutely agree that those valve covers are...what's the word?..."defining!" They define our country, they define our identity and they define what Independence Chevelle means to all of us. God bless you for keeping the patriotic vision.

Still remember when you saved on that unit. So crazy how far it’s come since getting it going in that hotel lot. Best series and build on the tube

[TokyoAzzA]

The volume of absolutely top quality content coming out of this channel is really unbelievable, thank you Derek and team!!

[CLCIII]

Your sons comment on the giant carb was priceless! A motorhead mechanic in the making. Mini Vicegrips for now! Lol!

[dennismorgan]

Can we all just appreciate how he went and literally got a brand new engine just so we can see burnouts

[Schooner]

Man, you put in a number of honest day's work getting this thing ready for the show! All while filming and editing near hour long documentaries on a weekly basis. I can tell Jessica works really hard to support the channel as well. You both deserve a tip of the hat and an atta'boy / atta'girl! Keep up the good work!

[hayseed]

With the recent move, all the events you've attended lately, the field trips, racing, not to mention family life and the normal pasture rescues, you all have GOT to be worn completely out! Don't forget to take a break and relax now and then. Your physical and mental health will appreciate it!

[snowsheldon]

I love how I get O’Reilly adds staring Derek all the time now! Best commercial around!

[MrChina]

A fella got hurt and ended up in hospital these past 5 weeks. How happy is he to know Derek and his family are continuing to bring the thunder whilst he repairs his broken bones. Sends his love and best wishes all the way from Australia guys. 😉🇦🇺

[Unc_Talks]

You're a one of a kind dude.. Everything you need for any build should be sponsored... Keep at it bro..

[jamieenglish]

Out of all the car dudes on youtube Im rootin for you the most. Regular dude doin his thang. And your interactions with your sons teaching them and seeing them jump in to help is inspirational and you'll have yourself a shop full of quality pit crew dudes in no time! Keep up the awesome content.

Bentley is precious! He obviously loves being with dad and is becoming quite a mechanic. Thanks for the family friendly channel. Blessings.

[Prompeius]

Well. I believe Independence is starting to become a ride good enough for the girls we don't date.
Never change Derek. Me and my daughters love watching your videos.

[corydriver]

“Independence is back”. Wow those words bring chills to a guy. Glad you kept the valve covers. So close to a milli9n subscribers I cans smell it, , , awesome stuff.

[sjrsloan]

Make my heart warm see that lil feller turning wrenches, i like the way you include your family in your videos.

[djsandvig]

This channel is real glimpse into what this country is. Family, hard work, good humor is the best of us. Hard to believe when all media sources are trying to convince us that America is toxic. I choose to think the vast majority of us aspire to VGG values. Thanks Derek

[typeltier]

It’s lunch time, perfect time to watch a VGG video at work.
