Congratulations you got a great job =) it’s a killer song if you’re in a bad mood and there are parts that sound like Kashmir from Led Zeppelin I don’t know any of the band names but the lead singer plays a double neck guitar just like Jimmy page played for stairway to Heaven.
Interesting comment you made about the Chev V8 being both an OHV and a crossflow engine. The competition at the time did indeed largely have side valve engines, but plenty of them were at that time still T head engines, which is a crossflow sidevalve design. Cheers.
Glad you think this episode engine episode Wednesdays one of my favorite days as well when we get to 30,000 subscribers we’re going to implement people on a certain day.. I would also like to bring back discussion episode Fridays and figure out when to do comparisons as well
I was just telling somebody the other day. This channel is never had a viral moment, but I don’t really want it… I’m not ready for it either That’s one of my biggest fears. I don’t want this channel to go supernova… and burn out slow and steady wins in the long run =)
It's interesting learning about the history of the origins of all these autos and related topics. The people behind the cars will be awesome! This era of auros is probablyy least favorite, although I can appreciate them, but I'd pick the Maxwell and Hudson. Cool stuff!😎
These 288 cubic inch V-8 engines were built from 1917 to 1918 and sold through 1919. The exhaust exits through the rear of the cylinder heads. My Uncle had one of these touring cars that was a 1918. There were also 4 passenger roadster models. My uncle's car was sold to a collector in Australia about 25 years ago. The book 60 Years of Chevrolet has a picture of my uncle's engine before he purchased the complete car in 1980. Pinky Randall owned the engine and car when the book was published.
Another interesting video. I never knew Chevy started producing V8s this early. Anyway, for the first scenario I'd puck the 1918 Chevrolet. For the second, the Flanders.
I wanted to hit this engine a couple months ago but there’s so much miss information about it that I got scared and shelved it.. just to start all over again when the time was right.
Wow, I didn't know of any v8 that split down the middle of the block. I had read that the two piece main bearings should be joined tangentially to the piston stroke, because the compression stroke tends to destroy the bearing. I sure wonder what the longevity was of them.
Ford I believe was the first to cast "en-block" a V8. All others were, cylinders were bolted to the crank case or like this chevy V8 the castings were bolted together in halves via the center line of the engine.
I have won so many bets on the question, “What year did Chevrolet introduce their first OHV V8. Almost everyone says “1955”. Great coverage as alwasy - thank you! WYR: Chevy in for the first, and the Hudson for the second. These WYR really took some thought! Chuck
Yeah I love covering the lost and forgotten gems of yesteryear I would love to hear one of these engines Ron there’s so much conflicting information some pictures have the valves exposed in other pictures have valve covers on top of the valves. It’s definitely a conversation piece that’s for sure especially when you see it inside the car that was originally in =) awesome choices =) As always -J
There used to be an early V8 Chevy in the Tupelo Auto Museum before it closed. Pretty cool to look at. I have a few pictures of it but don't know where it went when the museum was sold off.
Interesting video. I never knew about the antique shall we say Chevrolet OHV. Only that of the famous small block engine that was introduced in 1955. Look forward to that presentation sometime in the future, I hope. As for WYR. 1). None of the above. Those cars are too slow! 2). Definitely the Hudson Speedster. My favorite car company.
Yup, the Copper Cooled Chevrolet. One or two still survive. The cooling fan blew air in the wrong direction. That made it impossible for the engine to stay cool.
@@ramblerdave1339 I seems to be, just make a new fan that blows the opposite way. That problem solved, but the fallout and negative publicity made GM decide that it wasn't worth it.
That first Chevrolet V8 made 55 horsepower in it's first year, 60 in it's second year. That 36 horsepower figure is probably a taxable horsepower rating, not the brake horsepower rating. The Dodge 4 was a 212 cube motor, and it made 35 horsepower, so 55 - 60 horses sounds about right for the actual horsepower for this Chevy 288 cube V8. This car failed to sell because it cost as much as a Buick, but said "Chevrolet" on it, and Chevy had by then become established as a low-priced car, the Buick was known as a medium-priced car. Volkswagen had that problem when they introduced an expensive car called the Phaeton. They say it was a nice enough car, but it said Volkswagen on it, and people refused to pay that much for a "Volkswagen".
We haven’t covered the Chevy in-line six yet trying to get some of the more obscure engines out of the way first =) That’s a great gas but no the song is from 04-07 era Heavier song this was the band’s biggest hit
Totally agree I’ve been watching leno since 2005 back when it was Jay’s big dog garage and he still had some black hair I wanted to meet him way back then I was 16 in 05 =) I was always into 50s cars 50s was always my era.. I guess I kinda lived in my own world and in Waze I guess I still do I drive a 52 Chevy truck as a daily drive any time I need to use a truck that is my truck it’s the only truck I have. I was out in it today and I almost took a picture of it at the gas station because it looks so different than anything out there now. A machine in a sea of appliances
Yea @ 0:47 from what ive been told...2-3 women actually. In each of his firings.... I work with his grandson whom is currently is in his 60s....He tells stories of his grandfather being bit ..."out there in left field." Buut from what I understand, Durant died penniless.
Not yet here are all of the engine episodes we’ve covered so far is kind of sort of a new thing ua-cam.com/play/PLhccQskrvCMlgntaUQqQEotrwZMNjtYb2.html&feature=shared
Hi Jay!: Another interesting engine episode! I can only imagine how hard it was to find any good info on this little known engine. About the only thing harder would to find GOOD info on the infamous Copper Cooled Chevrolet! One of Kettering's NOT better ideas! Durant was for sure a MAJOR part of Automotive history. There was a Durant factory in Muncie, Indiana for quite a few years. I have an interesting story, not about Durant, but Durant's son Cliff Durant! He was a rich playboy, thanks to his Dad's success in the auto industry. He was a chubby guy, but still raced Miller racing cars at Indianapolis. Of course the cars were called Durant Specials. But they were Millers. One of his had a flat bottomed steering wheel to clear his large stomach whilst racing! In any event. GM decided to buy the old Inter-State auto plant in Muncie, Indiana, and produce a car called the Sheridan. Now William Durant wanted famed former auto racer and WWI ace Eddie Rickenbacker to run the Sheridan service department division of Sheridan. While on one of the trips to visit Durant, Eddie met Cliff Duran'ts wife Adelade. They became VERY friendly. In fact she decided to divorce Cliff Durant and she married Eddie Rickenbacker!! Well, it wasn't long that Eddie's job with the Sheridan division of GM was short lived, as well as the Sheridan Car itself only made for one or two years. GM decided to get out fast, and Durant bought the factory and produced Durant cars there for many years. So while I cannot confirm William Durant's lady problems, his son Cliff FOR SURE had that sort of problem!!
Thank you so much for all of that insight and information really appreciate it I didn’t know the story, of why Durant got fired but that’s so sad it seems like he had such a sad life.. Great choices too by the way
Cliff Durant gave his wife, Adelade VD. His unfaithfulness ended their marriage and left her sterile. Eddie and Adelade reared two boys who were both adopted. As for William Durant he tried to buy almost every car company he could. About the only one he was important in creating was Chevrolet and Louis Chevrolet and he came to blows about that as Chevrolet was removed from the company that carried his name. The GM board fired Durant because of the way he spent money buying car companies, most of which quickly failed. Chevrolet happened after he was fired the first time and it was successful enough he was able to secretly (this would not be legal today) buy GM stock and put himself back in control. Chevrolet made friends with another disgruntled associate of Durant, William Little and they produced a car in Indianapolis called the Monroe. Chevrolet also started the Frontenac to build racing cars and performance parts for Fords. Several cars were produced and entered in the 1920 Indianapolis 500, some as Monroes and some as Frontenacs. Louis' youngest brother, Gaston won the 1920 race in a Monroe though some records miss report this as a Frontenac as there was little difference other than the name plate. Gaston was killed in a racing accident later that same year. Chevrolet was back in the winner's circle at Indy in 1921 with Tommy Milton driving a Frontenac.
1912 Cole 😉 I've never seen one but I like fenders on speedsters ❤❤🥰 speedsters are my favorite 👍👏👏😊 The Hudson looks like a Mercer 🤔😱 🧑🎓 Useless question for you J ??

You should see if it’s the real deal definitely worth getting it running it’s definitely a weird rare piece of history automotive history and a curiosity that nobody really knows about =)
The General Motors Heritage Museum had a 1918 Chevrolet on display with this engine in it when our Buick Club of America Chapter visited in 2008. The car was substantial enough to be mistaken for something like a Buick or Cadillac.
Awesome thank you so much for the lead Yeah the early Chevys were really something they didn’t look like a cheap car, like the model A which was basic transportation essentially
The exhaust ports were in the ends on the heads. The front ports were capped off with flat plates. The rear ports had a neck bolted on the attach the exhaust system to. My uncle Danny had an engine on a stand and the rest of the car was in his garage. He sold it to a guy in Australia.
1: All 3. 2: 1912 Hudson Model 33 Speedster. Tune: I'm not sure, but it's NOT Sanctified With Dynamite by Powerwolf. If I had to pick any other vehicle from that era, it'd be the Ford Model T because parts are fairly easy to find compared to everything else.
Model T was going to be a contender but figured the Chevy was a more advanced car than the T Great guess on song not that one think mid 2000s 04-07 Awesome choices
I just found out about it last year and I’ve been wanting to cover it and an engine episode ever since then even though we didn’t do engine episodes back then Glad you learned something from this episode =)
55 was the first 265. 57 was the first 283 engines and introduced of course the Fuelie 283 hp 283 cubic inch V-8. I've ridden in one and with 4:11 gears and 3 speed transmission it was a fun ride.
Thanks for the video when I was a kid in the '60s my neighbor had one of those Chevy V8s I always thought it was cool and I wanted it but I was only 9 years old so I couldn't have it and on a lighter note check out the name of this band Jesus Chrysler drives a Dodge what a cool name for a band they're from Madison they don't have anything on UA-cam yet I'm waiting have a great day
@@What.its.like. ...or he didn't like to be referred to as William "Crapo" Durant. Just sayin'. I heard Henry Ford never used his middle initial either, although it was suspected it was "A"...for Anti-Semite. 😆
This has all of the information www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Chevrolet/1918_Chevrolet/1918_Chevrolet_V8_Brochure/1918%20Chevrolet%20V8-12.html When I got the specs I got them from this site they may have rounded en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Series_D
@@What.its.like. Well, I see that the official Chevrolet specs list do not disclose total displacement, though they confirm the bore and stroke you list. So apparently whoever wrote the wiki article is in error. It looks like he may have plugged in the wrong stroke figure. 288 cubic inches would be pretty close if he used 2.875 inches instead of 3.375. So clearly, then, the error is not yours. My apologies. 8 cyl engine, 4.000' bore , 3.375 in stroke. 339 cubic inches. I've double checked the math.
there are two different ways to say that the way it said in the video is the correct way according to the link www.fisheriessupply.com/product-resources/r-and-d-drivetrain/understanding-the-difference-between-units-of-torque-and-work-pdf#:~:text=The%20“pound%2Dfoot”%20(,radius%2C%20or%20T%20%3D%20FR.

Yes, Louis' original prototype had a 6 cyl T head engine.
T-head engines were obsolete by the end of WWI, so they weren't being used by anybody by WWII, L-heads continued in some economy cars into the 1960's.
Thanks Jay I’m really enjoying these engine highlight videos
Glad you think this episode engine episode Wednesdays one of my favorite days as well when we get to 30,000 subscribers we’re going to implement people on a certain day.. I would also like to bring back discussion episode Fridays and figure out when to do comparisons as well
The 36 hp is probably the ALAM rating, and 60 hp the actual. HP ratings were not standardized until SAE came along.

And they say ford made the first v8...Ford was the first to sell the v8 in large quantities
Yeah this wasn’t the 1st v8 engine might do an episode on the first v8 eventually
Ford I believe was the first to cast "en-block" a V8.
All others were, cylinders were bolted to the crank case or like this chevy V8 the castings were bolted together in halves via the center line of the engine.
Pioneer Auto Museum in Murdo South Dakota has one on display. Or at least they did have a long time ago when I visited the museum.

Poor Chevrolet was pushed out of his own company, Chevrolet was a great machinist and engine designer.
Totally agree I think William Durant had a lot to do with it. That guy was apparently really hard to work with.
I think the 1917 Chevrolet V8 also had dual exhaust.
The exhaust ports were in the ends on the heads. The front ports were capped off with flat plates. The rear ports had a neck bolted on the attach the exhaust system to. My uncle Danny had an engine on a stand and the rest of the car was in his garage. He sold it to a guy in Australia.

Check your math and specs 8 cyl engine with 4" cylinder bores and 3.375 inch stroke is 339 cubic inches.
This has all of the information
www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Chevrolet/1918_Chevrolet/1918_Chevrolet_V8_Brochure/1918%20Chevrolet%20V8-12.html
When I got the specs I got them from this site they may have rounded
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Series_D
@@What.its.like. Well, I see that the official Chevrolet specs list do not disclose total displacement, though they confirm the bore and stroke you list.
So apparently whoever wrote the wiki article is in error. It looks like he may have plugged in the wrong stroke figure. 288 cubic inches would be pretty close if he used 2.875 inches instead of 3.375.
So clearly, then, the error is not yours. My apologies.
8 cyl engine, 4.000' bore , 3.375 in stroke. 339 cubic inches. I've double checked the math.
It has 3.375 bores and a 4 inch stroke.
