by Wes

Nick’s Garage turned Christmas week into a holiday tradition built entirely around horsepower, pouring shots of Ouzo before strapping a freshly built Mopar X-block to the dyno. Viewers immediately recognized the engine as Chrysler’s high-performance 340, a small block that punched above its displacement against the 350s and 302s of its era. Between the shop-family comment section and the raw, door-open exhaust note, this is less a spec-sheet video than a shop full of engine builders sharing their holiday. Watch to see what the pull actually makes.

A 440-powered, four-speed Dodge Coronet convertible is rare enough on its own — most big-block Mopar buyers skipped the convertible body entirely. Nick’s Garage treats the teardown of this particular example less like routine work and more like something worth savoring, and the engine underneath explains exactly why. Viewers with decades of engine-building experience call it one of the most satisfying breakdowns the shop has posted. Watch to see what a patient, detail-focused teardown of a genuinely rare Mopar actually looks like.

A 1970 Dodge Coronet convertible is already a rare find — Dodge dropped the body style after this model year — but this one raises the stakes with a 440 big block and a four-speed manual, a combination few original Coronet buyers chose. Nick’s Garage, known for real, unscripted diagnostic work rather than highlight-reel repairs, tears the engine down piece by piece to see exactly what decades under the hood have done to it. The channel’s slow, methodical approach has earned it viewers as far away as Indonesia. Watch to see what a genuine 440 teardown actually reveals.
