A coworker of mine had a Buick Special with a straight six when he was a teenager. He was a motorhead, and he desperately wanted to do a V8 swap, but his dad wouldn't let him shit can a perfectly good motor. Larry drained all the oil out of it and drove it up and down the dirt road that they lived on. Eventually the engine ceased. He walked back to the house and told his dad it was dead. His dad got the tractor out and dragged it back to the farm. The old man pulled the dipstick out and checked it, walked over and got some oil, and filled it back up. Looked Larry in the face and told him what he'd do for him if he pulled that stunt again. The car fired back up and he wound up driving it until he bought a new one years later.

I had a friend who did destruction derby, who swore by Pontiac 6's, which he would drain the water out and drive until they siezed and after cooling them down, drove them until they siezed again. Eventually they stopped seizing, so he could drive them in the derby after the radiators were wiped out without them seizing.
