For the comments section: no this isn't going in your light duty truck, car, or rat rod. The video doesn't give away how big and heavy this is. Also, folks need to understand that horsepower is a fictitious number. It's the torque curve that matters. That combined with the displacement and weight tells you what application the engine is good for and how long it will last. Don't even get me started on whether the power rating is for continuous duty or not.
most of these engines were used in farm trucks or local delivery trucking companies that didn't want to convert to diesel in the late 60's. gas was cheap back then and there were few diesel mechanics so there was no reason to switch until fuel became expensive. forget about building one for high performance unless you are willing to pay for a custom crank, custom rods, custom cam, custom heads, custom intake etc. etc. etc... even then, the bellhousing bolt pattern is an sae1 so forget about adapting any car or light truck transmissions to it.
I can imagine lightening the internals. Adding fuel injection and a better exuast. What a monster that would be. Oh. and a pair of turbos for good luck. 😂
terrible sound quality
i have one of these in my 69 fire truck check it out
Most likely way past 3 hp and 8000 ft lbs of grunt

it would make an interesting rat rod power plant
What a beautiful smooth engine indeed...
I want one for a period correct 1971 c10 ss build.😎
Nice
That has a really nice sound.
Yes I would like to hear it run, thank you for asking.
What a wonderful BEAST ! Just needs a holster for that bullet .Large cubic-inch powerplants make my right-foot HARD !😝👍✌🇨🇦
YOU JUST CRACKED THOSE HEADS WITH NO WATER....
Spark plugs inside the V. Interesting.
WHY DO I WANNA PUT THIS IN A "GMC" LUV TRUCK?
It sounds good
Did he say a bus from the 40s?
I wonder if this thing can be made into a high performance engine and put into a Camaro
That's nasty! 🤣
That thing needs a nice BIG! 4 bbl
En cuba eso es un tesoro
That would be awesome with an Allison 1000 transmission
Just smooooooth!
Sweet sounding old V-8
Dog on background 😂❤❤❤
That is smooth
It's scary thing... It's enough to swap on a dodge charger
Can i fit it in a 79 Chevette?
What transmission or PTO is it hooked up too?

It has a stumble because it needs more fuel through the carb. Runn8ng it with no exhaust is throwing the air fuel ratio off. Bloodviking
About 10,4 liter, right? Damn, that's cool.
wow!!!!Just alittle bit bigger than a 500 caddy engine!!!!!Cool!!! Thanks for postin this!!!!!

I'll bet that thing weighs a ton.
Still have this thing running?
LOLZ...doggo running around with his collar in his gob; great video, sweet REALLY BIG block👍you need a 70's Camaro for that beast.
I would put that in my 69 GMC 4x4 immediately!🇺🇸
Ohhh the horror, the horrorrrrrrrr of half burnt leaded fuel in the atmosphere..... im half hard...
Leaded gas banned in USA in 1990's
show us some big fords
Just like the gm Detroit diesel. Can't kill them
God bless old bb V8's! Drop that thing into a chevy 3/4 or 1 ton and let them envy!
well then
Was that a bus engine?
Thank you for the video,sure don't see or hear those engines very often I love it. :)
What an awesome sound. Imagine having one of these in a boat
How much and when can I pick it up that would sit nice in my 76 Jimmy
I helped a guy replace a head gasket on one of these in a truck. The heads were enormous, and heavy!
Thanks you revved up my day. _GMC Gets More C***_
637 CID ?
Cool👌
