    Recently bought half a 4 door 58 delray that someone stuck one of these motors into. You got my sub for posting this common but lesser known than sbc motor

      @BarnYard Garage part of why I bought the car was I dug that it has a straight 6. Use what's laying around and easy to install. Gonna get it driving soon with a one wire alternator

    Just bought a 84 g10 van with one of these. Hasn’t run in a few years, but not as long as yours lol. Came with a new hei distributor so I’ll install that and poke around there. Thanks for sharing, looks like persistence is key! 💪

    • @barnyardgarage

      Yep I added transmission fluid to the cylinders to help build some compression,
      If it's not stuck it should run 👍
      Good luck and Thanks for Watching

    Interesting video. I have a 1979 4.1L that came oem in my 1979 Caprice. The freeze plug in the back of the engine blew and it had low compression in 1 cylinder (head issue) so I replaced it with a 350 (a very good thing to do). It’s been sitting in my garage for 30 years. Wondering if other heads will bolt up to this engine to allow other than the one barrel carb or should I just haul it off to the dump.

    How much torque and horsepower do these 250 cu in engines put out? I would have loved this engine instead of my Holden 202!

    • @barnyardgarage
      @barnyardgarage  6 днів тому +1

      Somewhere around 155hp not sure on the torque output , but I do know that you can upgrade these to produce big HP.

    Put the Number one cylinder at TDC and set your point, tighten the rotor, it should now be timed just righ and start right up

    I enjoyed watching this straight 6 fire up. Did you have any issues getting yours mounted up on the engine stand? I’m about to load my 250 on one but the block seems a little to long.

    • @barnyardgarage
      @barnyardgarage  4 місяці тому

      No it fits good, it is a bit long but doesn't seem to be any issues, Thanks for Watching

    You need to turn that distributor forward just a tiny bit to make it fire slightly later

    • @barnyardgarage

      110 HP 👍 that's awesome, mine is going in a 1930 Chevy truck, that should be a big up grade from the 40 HP 194 ci that's in it.

    I think you need to get you a battery or a battery booster the clicking of the starter is because it don't have enough juice to start!

    Are you able to get fire spark from the center port of distributor cap wire ????

    JB Weld ... what a great start.
    This has to be the world's easiest engine to work on and de-bug. "I put one in an old Landrover after rebuilding it and it did 800,000km before I sold the truck with never any more attention than basic routine service.
    1. And no one should attempt to crank an old motor that has been sitting idle for an extended period without getting some lube into the cylinders.
    2. Running an engine without coolant is a quick way to wreck it before you move ahead.
    3. And set the points right, too, as explained by @jmyazzie08 below.
    4. Maybe some aerostart would help but
    5. You likely have no idea if the float or needle in the carb is stuck or jets are blocked, either.
    6. I hope that oil is getting to the bearings before you grind them out, too.
