I'll never forget the day that a friend and I hooked up a battery to an old corvair coup that his dad drug home back in the late 70"s We cranked it over and it FIRED RIGHT OFF!!! It back fired and cought on fire!! We sat there and just said WOW!!! BTW, We put the fire out and got the old girl back on the road!!
A biker friend of mine (when I was a kid) built up a 331 Chrysler Hemi back in the 70's... I specifically remember this motor as it had so much torque, it had a real bad habit of twisting drive-lines & breaking u-joints when he would really romp on it.
Diesel fuel or kerosene with trans. fluid works miracles fer those rangs and for a flush too. You old boys are having to much fun wish I could join ya's.
People forget that in the fifties Dodge and even Desoto had their own line of Hemis with different blocks. Dodge was dropping Hemis in heavy duty trucks. I dropped a 354 Chrysler Hemi into a military powerwagon. Kept shearing axles...I've got the books.
If I wasn't so old and decrepit I would move to Washington state, where rat rods grow in every barn and field, and live out my remaining days in something close to heaven. Love the rust and the music.
@@t4zalteredrodz905 There's no school like old school, if you ask me....😉🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻 Just the way that I was brought up....you're born a few decades too late, as my friends and family tell me! 🤨🤔😉😆😂😎
I've had two 331 Hemis. Thats a pretty nice example too ,either rebuilt or very little use . I built one to run on the salt using older style parts, Isky 4 HHH track cam, twin fourbarrels on a bohnalite manifold (had a mopar part number too) ,Jahns 13-1 pistons and bored out to 354 . I was the 1st guy in OZ to run an early Hemi on the salt... until the Ford trans split . Lots of later parts fit them, I had a LA roller chain ,oil pump and electronic distributor .All this when no one else was interested in them... ha ha
Looks like a bunch of fun. Some body told me once that advice is great, as long as it’s asked for. Some commenters might consider that occasionally. That’s my unasked for advice. Haha.
and I appreciate your input..I like hearing from people who are actually in their shop "doing" stuff instead of sitting on a bar stool "talking" about maybe someday doing stuff. haha
I have seen a lot of Dodge trucks from the 1950's with Hemi engines with factory dual 2 barrel carbs. I have a good friend with large Dodge flathead 6 cylinder engines also with factory dual one barrel carbs. He has been driving daily two 1940 Dodge trucks since the 1950's. He has owned and ran a wrecking yard since 1953 that he started when he was 11 years old. He has a large collection of 1939 to 1947 Dodge trucks and a few early Plymouth trucks. His Dodges range from 1/2 ton to five tons.
Thought I'd share this an old machinist said to use a 50/50 mixture of trans fluid and acitone for rusted bolts I've had good success with it except for exhaust bolts!
Looks like a good time to me ! It's a wonder Bernice didn't get up on the table and start dancing....... OR DID SHE ! 😊 I don't know anything bout them wild wemen now, just what I heard might happen ! Good looksee on your doings in the world there Ken! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
Hey Ken! I may not comment on every video, but I enjoy every one! I usually give a thumbs up, at least, and I may even share a tale or make a suggestion, but all of us need to keep in mind, that while we comment or suggest, the end result is up to the project builder who has the goal in mind and the final say. Keep these videos coming, Ken, ‘cause there’s many of us who look forward with anticipation to the next one! God Bless.
i usually put a magnet on the extension and pulls the plug out . Ive used acetone and ford transmission fluid half and half burnt transmission fluid works acetone better
Ok just got to say how in the world could someone dislike this video its awesome!! And so is my 1976 merc 460/intake.rvcam.roller rockerd 80 psi oil pressure cold 65 hot idle shade tree engine in my 78 f250 4x4 4speed (hp?/tq?
He must not care much about his engine if he is running a fram oil filter. Thats like the worst oil filter ever made they literally have cardboard inside them.
I have seen them cut open, new off the shelf, and the inside of the housing is rusty. Fram still makes filters but some are contracted to other companies. They may be ok, or maybe not. I don’t buy them anymore, lol- I don’t feel lucky.
I would love to have that old car in the driveway, but if you got a use for it us it especially if your going to put a good old 331 hemi in it. It would brake my heart if it didn’t get the 331 hemi in it. Good luck Build it right Love your videos
Hi! you can do as me when anybody says that i do wrong. I take the gitarr and sing i did it my way. works ewery time. Keep up the good work and keep on sing and play. Sigge. ☺😊👌👍👍👍👍👌
Hmm no photo or video. BUT my very first car, never legally on the road, was a 1936 Austin 10. The square bodied one. Sitting for months, fired up first compression. One of my early lessons in my teens.
Great video Ken! There sure were some killer motors for sure, That 427's gonna be a real thumper! Honestly I would like to hear them all running! Maybe everyone that was at the party could have a little car show when it's better weather! Presheate cha!
Great video Ken!!!! The little pickup is just outa site. Ya gotta get Bernice hooked up wit AA, she be a little young for that stuff. Got my motor broke in, in my rat, then can't drive it, it's -20 over here in Minnesoda, soooooo, mo vids, mo pickin & mo grinnin & more pie'ice cream, momomomo.............
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire You are really lucky to live in that climate. I am at the other end of the country. Lots of moisture for rust to live on and on. Nice video Sir. Good day and peace too. VF
When I saw those legs sticking out ,the first thing I thought was ;How did they get a hot woman in that shop? Then I saw .Then I wondered how they got a hot manequin in that shop ? I sure could use that hemi though . Hey ,at least you're havin' fun ,all I do is work .
Had a 331 hemi ina '50 Chrysler New Yorker 4-dr no one wanted. We rolled it on its side and cut the body up with some jet rod, flopped the engine on the ground, and stuck it in a '32 Plymouth coup. Only street legal thing we had on the Ply was a rear view mirror so we could watch the cops as we outran 'em in the chase. That was fun, and before they had helicopters. Good old days were awesome!
As I recall it was a near fit, and we didn't have to alter the motor mounts . A really good thing about MOPAR was the entire family had a lot of interchangeable parts over a several year period. Keep on keepin' on!
now that’s a beautiful old 331 FirePower; can’t wait to watch that first start. And rhubarb pie, mmm good stuff. I used to pick that growing wild when I was a kid. Since you spend so much time out there, do you keep your shop full time heated during the winter?
What does that Chrysler 331 originaly come out of? Not familiare with old Chrysler products. Cool looking valve covers. Just for a laugh the frame on that old truck did'nt have any rust in the usuale places either! Lol
'51 - '55 Chrysler cars 331" Hemi (Caddy's had a 331" wedge OHV V8 '49 - '55)... then went same looking 392" hemi w/ dual quads and early EFI(failure) and up to 390 HP until 1960... new hemi with distributor in front came out about 1964 - 1971... new hemi crate engine out a few years ago... Chrysler semi-hemis out about 1995 - now...
its called "engine release" used to free up stuck rings from an engine sitting for a long period of time. I mix it with a little tranny fluid. which I've used in the past to build up compression on old engines. this video shows how to use it. put it in the cylinders and let it sit for a few weeks..
Thanks for the clarification on the '38 General Motors Truck non-prep / accidental start-up ! ;) Enjoyed seeing the old Hemi in this one & the rat rod builds in the making. Just found the link on the V12 '47 Pontiac. Would Love to see that vehicle !!! Great video ! Thanks & as always, Thanks for your time & effort in making & sharing your adventures with all of us ! Take Care & Be Well ! ua-cam.com/video/UKu0LW6WZdQ/v-deo.html
That 429 needs a different oil filter on it. If you take a little time to look at how that oil filter is made you will find it is one of the worst oil filters you could possibly use on an engine. It is truly rediculous as to the performance that these expensive oil filters have. They are probably one of the most cheaply made and overrated filters out there.Please, look at the information and compare them to other even cheaper filters and you might change your mind about putting them on such a beautiful engine. I would hate to see your engine get ruined by a filter that just does not work.
Sure hope this video doesn't get demonetized 'cause I watched the ads! If I can grin and bear the ads Google can put up with a few mouse carcasses. Come on what worse, an ad or a dead mouse! Get a life Google!

oh I can only hope! haha
My fathers mechanic back in the early 60's told me and I have never forgotten use Marvel Mystery Oil for stuck engines
Yup - I always have a bottle of that in my shop. Good for lots of things!
I have heard the Formula changed substantially over the years though, so it might not always work like it did for your father
You guys really enjoy. It makes me feel go just watching. Thanks so much
Diesel fuel or kerosene with trans. fluid works miracles fer those rangs and for a flush too. You old boys are having to much fun wish I could join ya's.
I must be wearing my beer goggles. Bernice is looking pretty good! Great video man!
Looks like it was a really good time. Thanks for bringing me along my friend.
One nice elephant motor!!! The hemi's going to look great in that ol Plymouth fer sher

That's some ford power there

!5k engine with a $3.00 oil filter.
I heard paper oil filters have paper inside them...
@@BuzzLOLOL ua-cam.com/video/Imq39p0_YTA/v-deo.html go to 10:41 big difference between the garbage fram is putting out compared to the better filters.
I have seen them cut open, new off the shelf, and the inside of the housing is rusty. Fram still makes filters but some are contracted to other companies. They may be ok, or maybe not. I don’t buy them anymore, lol- I don’t feel lucky.
I never found out if they were a problem on my cars because I sell them once they get to 250K miles.

Great video Ken. Sure was a couple of sweet motors and good times in the video. 👍😎keep up the good work.
Tell your friend, Ford solved that oiling probably on the 429-460 so the external oil line is not necessarily. Great video by the way.
maybe its a block that wasn't solved yet lol
I hope to see more of the himi
those heads will fit the blue diamond
like to see you do a video of segments on a rat rod build singing one piece at a time john cash
