- Casper, our 1986 Chevrolet C10 Shortbed squarebody, is having some issues with his 4.3L V6 as it's just plain worn out. So it's time to upgrade for a Goodwrench 350 engine that we've had kicking around the shop for a couple years. Follow along as we show you how we converted our original 6 cylinder truck to an 8 cylinder. This one currently isn't for sale. As always, thanks for watching!

"Deckals" is almost as annoying as the other guy who says, "fuelmakeithappener."
Pinner Winner!
You’re annoying. Why you got to be that guy?
Never thought I would quote Puddin but this might not be the channel for you buddy.
There are lots of things you could say about @david4368 unfortunately decency and TH-cam would censor most of them, so instead we will point you towards the exit and remain silent while the door hits you in the tailpipe
Its ok i get sad too
You should get rubber stamp made of duff's paw for merch or a sticker
With a tagline “no thumbs”
Or Duff approved!
Definitely would buy
That would be so neat! He should definitely do it! I'd buy the stickers and a shirt that says Duff Approved with a paw print on it! 😁👍
Or "Duff is not impressed by this sticker" 😂
Snow already? Over here water cold, it’s grey and miserable out there, time for Mortske Monday! Thank you!
2:35 this made my day!!!!! My wife is Tiffany and I played this 97 times and she is still bright red! 😂
EhTiffany is a nice gal!
And by "Hack" they mean what a regular guy would do over the weekend so he can get to work on Monday. Great job Mortske you made Casper that much better.
We got snow in Colorado, let's go peasant hunting with Duff
I miss the Mortske Minute features. The history stuff is fun
I agree 100% but I'm sure we're in the minority unfortunately.
This was an amazing segment too the vids, i miss them too and im sure we were not the only ones!
we'll have it back one day!
Happy Mortske Monday!
To HELL with Monday! I'm watching Mortske & Duff!😂
HEY! Hello and thumbs UP ! My favorite channel! Happy Monday everybody
Mortske world wide! Thank you Chin,Mojo,and Sir Mortikis love the channel and love the movie clips Chin. thank you again 👍👍👍👍
I wait all week for the "Monday Morning Mortske Hour" great show
Mortske once again you prove the naysayers wrong. I for one love low-budget finished projects. You know what they say "whammy this thing to together."
Right on!
Budget friendly is great, more people can actually do a budget friendly project. Thanks man!
Our pleasure
My Grandfather bought a brand new dark brown 1985 Lwb 2wd Squarebody off the lot. 4.3 4brl th375 turbo. Trucks still running down the road with matching numbers still intact. 39k original miles.
Funny thing, i bought my Black '85 SWB 4x4 off the showroom floor and still have it and drive it to this day!.. however unlike your grandad's its not matching numbers but new crate 350, headers, big intake, new trans many times over, but always will be my baby!
@@billnalder1017 sweet 😎
That transmission and its crossmember are FURRY.
Keeps it warm in the cold winters.
@@NoWr2Run True...
Love the back and forth fun you have with puddin and others. There's about 4 or 5 of ya I have playing in the background at the shop. Keeps it fun and keeps me coming back.
Very nice
I’m
Thats the whole point Mortske budget builds are always good and if you can save $$$ on re-purposed parts its always a good thing! And you get a V8 C10 Short Box which is always cool! Keep up the good work!
Will do!
Keep doing what you do! Piecemealing on a budget is how the average guy/gal do it at home. Thank you for the great content!
ur pleasure!
I love your attitude about getting stuff running and drivable. That's why so many viable cars and trucks are sitting in peoples back yards doing nothing instead of being driven. Everybody thinks they have to do a 100 point concourse restoration.
Always a good Monday when there's a new Mortske video. 😊😊😊
Pheasants are gonna be sittin' tight.
Who is happy at 6:00 in the morning and it's not even sunny here in California
Short bed C10 thumbs up
Thanks for the video Mortske. Always look forward to them.
Great video and that is a pretty darn good truck. Thanks for letting us hang out in the shop with you!
Our pleasure
Way to go on your content! Got homesick on seeing the Forman area fall colors! Pheasants were calling me!!
Casper is a cool truck! Who doesn't love budget builds? Nothing wrong with using good used parts, people have been doing it for decades! Thanks again for the videos! 😁👍
Our pleasure!
Hey, '80's shortbed square-body love! Keep it up Mortske. Had to laugh, because I spent almost a year looking for a replacement core support for my '83 D-150...and, down the rabbit hole I went. Found a clean one 2,000 miles away. Now the entire front end is blown apart.
Boy, that was a budget build. Good thing you've collected quite a junkyard there to get parts from . I'm like you, I'm not a fan of cleaning/painting parts that no one ever sees. If they do, then you must have run over them and they aren't going to be able to tell anyone. Good thing you have Bernie to bring your Chevys back home..
I like the real life restores. I cant afford all new everything to do perfect rebuilt. So this is my kind of revival.
Remember all cars are running on used parts.
My local auto salvage yard from days gone by, said it best on their sign. "Why buy new, when used will do??!!!!"
Remember “OK Used Cars”? They ain’t great, they aren’t bad, hell they probably aren’t even good, but they’re OK
Ha.
32:50 The best part of this whole video is watching Duff's ears perk up and down as you're trying to start it.
Mr. Mortski what ever vidio you do I watch and enjoy.thank you, Duff and mojo
Dude!!! Winter always suck!!! ✌️
Thanks Mortske!
Thanks Duff!
Thanks Chin!
Thanks Mojo!
Man O Man....here we go again !
What a great picture of Casper in the snowy field. Almost camouflage!
Majestic!
Awesome
Great job Mortske. Great job getting that engine swap. Hope you can find a fan shroud for it. Duff had a hoot with the little girl. Thanks for sharing!
💯👍👊
Our pleasure
LOL @ "Don't lick him back" and the look as he said it! @ 45:15
LMFAO.
HAHA! Duff looked super concerned when Casper wouldn't start. After starting Duffs eyes and ears perked up a bit!
I really enjoy the way you do the work. I think it’s more realistic and comparable to what actually happens in life.
The scenario where engine goes bad driving home from work on Friday and you have until Monday morning to do a swap because you can’t miss work. Missing a day of work means some bill doesn’t get paid on time.
Exactly!
Thats a nice truck! Heater works and it seems like it is a nice driver. I think you are close to getting it sorted out. The armrest/sandwich thing is cool!
You're not a hack, you're a realist. Keep the pace up and don't get bogged down with the small stuff.
I would agree that not doing the power-washing shouldn't be considered a "hack" move.
But, I am also one that despises working in a dirty and grimy environment.
I would rather work on something that is a little less filthy and greasy.
Hey, Mortske and Duff 👋 , Thanks for the video. It was a a good old school build. Just get it back to running. 👍
You bet!
If it was a Toyota, I'd say "Bugger!". Well, the V8 runs at least, eh? You made quick work on that swap, mate. Amazing what you can do with stuff you got lying about the shop too.
Just as a warning, I've had several ignition modules that died intermittently. Engine would get warm and they'd conk out for a couple of minutes and then fire up like there was never an issue - usually about the time it took me to lift the bonnet after cranking it a couple of times. I'd check for spark, the old cow would fire up on as many as she could, I'd put the plug wire I was testing with back on - thinking the problem wasn't spark - get a few miles further down the road and it would repeat the problem. Took me a few times of it doing this to find the problem. Once it was a loose connection on the coil and the others it was the module itself overheating and dying. From that perspective, you cannot beat points and a condenser, but those buggers have their issues as well. I'd still rather have an electronic ignition in the winter though, for sure.
I'll never forget the time the first one started dying - I was in 3rd going down a hill and the rev counter kept going to zero when the module quit and bouncing back up when it came right again. Every time it came back to life there was an almighty BANG from the rear of the car as the unburnt gases in the pipe suddenly ignited. The bloke following me reckoned one of the belches of flame was at least 3ft long! All I know was that it really lit up the back of the car when it happened at night - certainly enough to see the looks of surprise on the faces of the people in the car behind me!
After checking all the wiring connections to the ignition module, if you got a spare module in your stash, that would be the first thing I'd change. One thought - if the switched power going to the module - if it comes directly from your ignition switch, you might want to check that too. However, my money is on the module being temperamental. As to the gauge cluster being dead, the power gets fed through the gauge first and then it grounds out at the senders to various degrees, which in turn moves the needles. If there is a common power to the fuel, oil and temp gauge - either in the back of the cluster or through a fuse or relay - then that's where your problem lies. Otherwise I can't see how all three gauges can read nothing unless all three senders are bad.....so its more likely there is a common power fault. Check fuse, then relay (if it has one) and then power wire. Hopefully it just a dirty connection.
All the best - and please let us know how you get on. Cheers!
I love the "Duff Cam". Always makes me chuckle.
I had an 86 with a blown up 4.3 and a 4speed, just a plain-jane no a/c vinyl seat. I put in a 350, which was a pretty easy swap, made it a good working pickup. I was able to use a lot of the v6 stuff as you did. We got a bit of snow in McCook as well. I keep telling myself it is one day closer to spring!
Sure is
That is a good idea about about getting a Duff paw print deckal! Great video once again
Love Your style. Also agree with Fryberger. You’re way better off in the long run, get it done! Drive it, then, if required circle back!!!
Good morning mortske
1:41 Like @Sleeperdude always says ‘just cause she smoke don’t mean she broke!’
LOL Mortske what a Hack! Just kidding dude, your content is on point. Duff adds 2 points.
Man the sound of the old quadrajet carbs. Sounds great.
Yup
Mortske Monday!
These are my favorite kinds of projects
This day and age budget build is a good thing mortskee
One of your best videos. Nice and to the point. Shorts are better than 3 hours talking. Very nice.
Love my Monday morning routine of Mortske😊
A I'm from the UK England 🇬🇧 and I've got no idea about engines and cars but I love American vehicles and your channel is absolutely fantastic especially Mr Duff dog yourself and Mojo you can't ask for more entertainment oh I forgot Mr and Mrs pookie and family I always look forward to seeing your work videos keep up with the great work and stay safe and healthy in the upcoming winter
Mojo the real mvp getting that garage door in a flash 🏃
Absolutely
I appreciate that you do "budget friendly." I don't have a bunch of money to not use what I have around. Real life stuff on your channel & it ROCKS!
Glad you enjoy it!
Nice job Mortske
Duff is ready to get birds!
It's Monday Morning and Mortske and Duff in the Garage means it's the " More you Know time " . Intermittent problems can and will drive you crazy be very specious of grounds bad grounds or not enough grounds
Morstake I just got a round eye GMC grill don't know what year but it's super nice was hanging in a old guys shop he said since the late 80s not sure if it was a score or not and ur definitely not a hack!
Yay, finally got a day off, time to get caught up with Mortske Repair!
Awesome
This truck is the perfect show truck!!!!!! you need some glass packs, and spray on bed liner
Thanks for the video
Heavy metal weather potato gets me everytime!!!
Tribryd is genius!
I don't care if u do a full frame up ill always watch the full shows love Casper glad u swoped it out he'll ya u should keep him and just do little here and there he'll ya !!!! U no u should do a burn out rig and u no go to the burn out shows lol love the show love duff dog 😅
Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Poor Duff is looking worried but will be happy about you getting it going.
I understand the pain we used to swap motors in a couple hours but that was 40 years ago. I would need a couple days at least today.
Cheap is an insult; frugal, on the other hand, is a compliment.
Great video, great dog! Love the truck. I am biased though, cuz I am from a gm town
I always thought the 4.3 motors never got the recognition they deserved. I found them cheap and dependable for the money. My 2nd gen Blazer had the fuel injected 4.3 and always ran very nicely. Always had great responsiveness. I never had any power train issues at all in that 4 by 4 SUV which I drove over ten years. I thought it tempting to change out the center point injection system to a multi port, with the adaptation of a neat Delco replacement kit. Then I thought, if it ain't broke,....... don't fix it!
Nothing wrong with them. This one was just worn out.
I like the fact that you used the correct motor mounts, I had a manifold problem on the exhaust hitting the valve covers. I stuck an LT1 in a 58 Delray. I had to grind the little lumps off the manifolds to have a little space between the valve covers and exhaust manifolds. Doing it right never makes you a hack.
I’m not sure you can beat a square body in classic truck drivability, they are just good.
I don't miss Northern Winters . Just got out of my pool here in Florida . I do miss the big deer hunting the most . Deer here are tiny . Great work Mortske . I need a truck like this but being broke tells me I can't have one .
It's good to see someone actually doing work. I had to take a break from the Oklahoma interior decorator 😂
Really dig the back story and inspections
Love that truck
A friend of mine in Grafton has a Ben Adams 383 Stroker and he's looking for something to drop it into. That truck would have been perfect!
A fella who wrenches on wrecks, needs to have good friends. Can't go wrong on a short bed Chevy. always entertaining to watch someone else fixin on them instead of me. Be well, all is right in my world. thanks for sharing.
Good (and timely) video today. Had the same intermittent problem with the ignition module in my ’77 LeSabre with the Pontiac 301. Solved with new cap, coil, module, rotor, and ground wires. So many issues can be traced to ground wiring in an old B body. Very frustrating though; twice she had to come home on a AAA flatbed!
God has absolutely blessed you with the love of Duff Dog; the way he appreciates your pets at the end of the video says it all. Love the Duff!
I did a V8 swap on an '87 long bed 4 speed that had the same issues with the 4.3L. I slid the V6 frame mounts ahead and welded the mounts and the bottom part of the mounts to the cradle. The 350 sat a lil' crooked, but it worked fineish
Excellent video Mortske, the perfect length for watching while I’m at work!
Glad to hear it!
I think this is the kind of videos that the younger folks should watch. First engine swap type of thing. Totally doable work for a first timer.
Thanks for another Mortske Monday!
This is better than watching baseball on TV
Looks nice to see clean windows and headliners looking good .that’s a keeper .
Good thing the heater works! Especially this time of year. It's cold where I live in Wyoming, but it gets a lot colder in North Dakota than it does here. Like your square body! PEACE ✌️
My get up and go got up and went 😊
Duff looks so worried when the dang thing won't start. "Noooooo! I need a ride please start!"
Don’t make it right just make it run. I like that.
Love the budget projects. If you can, make follow up videos sorting out engine swaps and other projects. Be nice to see what it would take to get the gauges to work after engine swap for example.
Will do
Hook up the wire to correct location on new engine gage will be OK
that 63 c10 big back window with the 6 banger needs either the high po 283 out of the hot rod or the 327 out of the sprint car,.and a 4 speed trans, and a posi rear end.THINK ABOUT IT! love to see that build.
WhooHoo! Just the greatest!
OBS, square bodies, duallies, old cars and some 30’s hot rods…. I can’t understand how you don’t have a million plus subs. Seriously. Proof that the world is a strange place.
Definitely
