The Chevy small-block V-8 is an engine that has touched so many lives that, no matter where your car brand loyalty lies, chances are good that you’ve got a personal story about one. It has powered tens of millions of passenger cars, trucks, race machines and boats. Calling it an American icon would not be an overstatement or hype. To celebrate 60 years of this icon, we took one apart and put it back together, and we recorded the process to share with you.Special thanks to Thirlby Automotive in Traverse City, Mich. http://thirlbyautomotive.com/Subscribe! | http://bit.ly/1sddOmDLIKE us on FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/Ha...FOLLOW us on TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hagertyJOIN our circle on GOOGLE PLUS | https://plus.google.com/+Ha...Find out more about Hagerty | http://www.hagerty.comSong | Who Would've Known - Instrumental by Morain
