O’Reilly Auto Parts puts on an annual meeting and convention that is attended by O’Reilly Auto Parts associates from all over the country each year and as part of that they also bring in folks who they partner with for events and such. Folks like Derek Bieri, David Freiburger, Alex Taylor, Brad DeBerti, and Rae Ripple among others. These events are big and they really put a lot of effort into making sure their associates have a good time while going through the training and other aspects of the event. But this year they went to another level and on a whim decided that Alex Taylor and David Freiburger and the gang would put an engine together for fun. This isn’t a precision engine build, but rather an assembly video, of a crate engine they got through O’Reilly Auto Parts. Check it out.
Video Description:
The crew is back together for a high-speed, low-precision engine build in Houston. Featuring David Freiburger, Brad DeBerti, Alex Taylor, Tate Morgan, and Ray Ripple, this 1967 327 engine get’s the “professional build” treatment. Despite using an impact where it doesn’t belong, the team manages to get the engine together for “shipping purposes”. Whether you’re here for the jokes or the actual mechanical breakdowns, remember: don’t try this at home!
