Newbern and Friends Do Three Engine Swaps In Two Days… But Not Because They Wanted To! Did They Get Them All Running For Cruising The Coast?


Newbern and Friends Do Three Engine Swaps In Two Days… But Not Because They Wanted To! Did They Get Them All Running For Cruising The Coast?

I’ve done several crazy builds that most people think are not possible. Engine swaps in hours, full car builds in just two days, etc, etc, etc. But doing three engine swaps in two days is definitely not on my list of fun things to do. With that said, I’d be right there doing it if that’s what it took to get me and my buddies to a show like Cruisin the Coast. And that’s exactly why Dave and the gang were in full thrash mode.

I’d love to sit here and write out why they had to do this, but you’d never believe me anyway, so I’m just going to let Dave’s description and the video speak for itself. You gotta watch this.

Video Description:

On this episode we attempt to get several cars ready for Cruisin’ the Coast 2024. The week started out with an engine swap in my friends 39 Chevy. Then we discovered the blower engine in my friend Bert’s 57 was literally coming apart. We then swapped in a different engine only to find out the rod bearings were junk. Third time is a charm they say as we dropped in another used engine and finally got on the road.
