Seen one of those a few years back at a tractor show on a stand/trailer, gentlemen told me the engine came out of a old chevy firetruck. Great sound that thing made with strait pipes pointed up!
it would not have been original to a chevy but someone might have adapted it.. i know they were in a lot of the old Seagraves Firetrucks.... thats my plan too.. 12 pipes straight up! with rain flappers on em! haha.. thanks for watching!
well i am 54,so not sure if thats considered young..... but my dad was a master mechanic that could fix any type of car and that pilot bearing trick is something i learned many years ago. i grew up around fast cars,we had a 69 corvette 427/435 horse,55 t bird,63 galaxie 390 convertible and more. hot rods are in my blood,i enjoy your talent and humor.
you're my kind of people! when I said "young people" i was thinking that probably not many guys in their 20's would be watching my channel... but according to the comments. I am pleased to find out that I was wrong.. at least to some degree
I read somewhere that those old GMC trucks had a V12 in some of them, But I've never actually seen one before. The valve covers look just like the old V6 valve covers. One place I worked at in the late 80's had a early 60's GMC truck with a V6 in it.
I have 4 of the v6 engines.. lots of video on them.. the V12 is the same cubic inch displacement as two of the 351 V6s I have one of those as well.. the heads on the 351 will interchange with the 702.. as well as 50 some other parts.
I had no idea GMC made a V12. What a treat. Thanks for sharing. I noticed in the video when you were driving the old GMC cabover flatbed back home that you were crossing the US Hwy 2 bridge over the Columbia in Wenatchee. Recognized it right away. I grew up near Spokane out in farm country and my dad's old school buddy lived in Wenatchee, so we crossed that bridge a few times. That was back in the 1980's. Is the old truss bridge from the 1920's still standing? It used to be near the existing one but only held a large pipe - I think it was the water main.
Waylon:I'm familiar with that points set up. They called a "make and break" dual points set up. This was used on many hi-perf engines back in the late '50's to the '60's. This was before HEI and other electronic ignition systems.
i love it man A++++ i use ngk pulg or preferably i order denso n had never a failure lean that running a it200 n a 300zx with a lean cylinder its wild how good the ceramic is in a denso
I remember my grandfather with his dwell meter and allen wrench doing his old ramblers he had. Had a coffee can full of sets of points he would clean and reuse.
yep, back in the day we never threw anything away.. ive seen my dad run the points til the contacts were completely gone! but they'd still fire on the metal haha..
I love the smell of a engine. From VWs to a Hemi. I love working on them. Specially a fresh ready to rebuild one. Iv rebuilt alot of different engines. Well 5 different makes of engines. Love it love it love it bro. Keep it up
I'll just bet they *give* those dual cap distributors away! (if you can actually find one that's intact) That was actually pretty smart of GM to do it that way, as you can use the caps, points, condensers, coils, etc. from a 305/351 etc. instead of having to have a special cap, etc. *just* for the V-12. Since you have 2 cylinders that fire simultaneously on these, it's probably the only way to accomplish the task, outside of having a second distributor midway on the block (and an extra gear machined into the cam). Definitely would like to see this beast in a rat rod or similar.😉👍
yeah, they did some smart things for sure. it makes it easy to get points etc for them... just order them for a 351. there are something like 52 or so parts that will interchange on these with the 351.. and I just happen to have a 351! I also have 3 distributors and a service manual.. which I have referred to a few times.. like tolerances for the floater plate between the dual clutches. oh and it is DEFINITELY going into a rat rod.. a DUALLY stay tuned :)
I've got one of these in a Vega. Surprisingly it bolts right in, with room to spare! I ran it in this obscure race called 24 hours Le Mans, but only came in 2nd.
I'm a guy in La that will machine you that pilot bushing out of sintered bronze or powdered bronze, both excellent bearing/bushing material,my rates are fair, but material is costly
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire Just sayin what it looks like. But mainly it looks COOL!! can't wait to see what you end up building around it. I see you're in eastern WA. Im from Spokane originally, so its nice to see home. I miss the mountains and trees.

A V-12 Detroit/GMC GASOLINE engine? Wow! this is the first one I have seen! And the RT-610 or RTO-610 should be quite happy behind it! BTW, you can convert a Road Ranger transmission to an overdrive version by "flipping" only one gear. I did this once upon a time, in the 1980s. You can surely find out how on the internet. I got my instructions from a counter man at a local truck parts store, which is a Fuller dealer.
Wow, I haven't heard one of those old gimmys run in a long time ! 😊 In the late sixtys and early seventys I worked at a big citrus farm and they had twenty seven of them hooked up to wind machines to run at night when it got down cold to keep the fruit from freezing. We only had one guy that could keep them running so they sold every one of them to a scrap dealer. One of my jobs was to go out at night to start them up and I loved to hear them run and then they replaced the big 12s with some dang five cylinder diesels ! I hated to hear them screaming things ! Looks like you got some good stuff here, believe I'll sub ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
i can imagine the thrill of starting all those engines!.. was that somewhere in the San Joaquin valley? I know I love hearing this one run! thanks for watching!!
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire Naw, it was in southern Arizona, same area I live in now. Not much of the citrus left now, took most of it out because of water usage.
Hey Ken. Another great video. It's a good feeling getting an old motor of any kind running. That was a real old saw you had there and Brown didn't start it on fire. Cool trick on getting the bearing out. And I never thought that you might be right about just us old farts watch your channel. But then again you entertain the young and old. Thanks for sharing.
I always love it when you mess with the V12! It's an amazing engine! The only stationary pivot irrigation engine I've ever seen was a John Deere in-line 6 cylinder. It ran the pump and also generated electricity for the transport wheels. Those days are gone and it's been replaced with an electric engine that's tied to a highline that happened to be running close to the field.
check out Speedway Motors Lincoln Ne they have a V16 someone welded 2 V8 Chevys together offset the crank and cam to make it smoother yet just have to sort threw the museum web site to find it enjoy your web site
thanks for stopping by man.. appreciate it.. I've seen lots of v8's coupled together with a special adapter from the crank on the rear of one to the front of the crank on the other one.. so I actually thought of doing that with these v12s. haha.. a V24??? why not! haha..
Great video Ken. I sure do love your shop and your surroundings. That's such a beautiful area, with great folks too! Rarely comment, but never miss a show. Chuck in NE Kansas
Them old saws weren't for the Faint of Heart! Boy, they Run Like the Dickens! I used bread to remove the pilot bearing in my 2004 Jeep Wrangler, when I did the Clutch and Flywheel (I wasn't re-using it). It's nice to see a Cameo by Richard P. himself (Chainsaw Artiste) :) Oh, my! I think (no, I know) I could Karate Chop that wee limb off, faster than his eelectric saw hacked through it! :O I can hardly wait to see more videos on the V-12, and the truck it's going in!
that trick with removing the pilot bearing (or as we call them here in Australia a spigot bearing) was one trick I learned back in the 80's when I worked at a wrecking yard with an old school mechanic.
Hi, I have a 1966 GMC 5.0L V6 with an 11" clutch, 1-1/8" shaft, 10 splines. The original clutch/pressure plate is missing. Please let me know where I can buy a compatible replacement. Thanks, Wayne
Need more old timers like this to show these little boys a little something about hard work team work and the want of something cool but don’t have the cash so make do with what ya have what ya can find and what ya can trade to make yourself and the guys something cooler then the other guys
A bit of grease and a tight-fitting punch to drive it out using hydraulic action! I'm only 30 but I've learned that and more from watching all you older guys fixin' stuff! As a fan of old iron myself, these kinds of things are important for me to learn, so thanks! Heh, who's your friend with the yellow saw? XD
ol' rpeek got a chainsaw LOL I saw the grease going in the pilot bearing and realized I had forgotten that trick. What else have I forgotten besides my meds.
Be careful sometimes running an engine. And not worming it to temperature will eventually burn the valves. Due to sweat cousing rust to form on valve seats . Bottom line if you start it get it hot enough to vape off moisture.
I've started it a few times.. but I cant run it long because it has no water in it. thats going to change.. i just bought freeze plugs for it so now I'll be able to bring it up to operating temperature before shutting it down.
If the toro flow diesels were't such a downfall I wish GM woulda made a diesel v12. Would have been an extremely unique design. That engine would be sweet in 20's or 30's long hooded semi. See the engine and it'd be right at home in a big rig.
picked up a 305 v6 a couple of weekends ago, needs an exhaust manifold, cant wait to get it running, ive been after a 702 for a while, always wanted one since i was in 3rd grade
Confuse your friends and get a GMC 351. It's GM red, has 348/409 valve covers, Ford 351 cubic inches, plugs on the intake side, and has only 6 plugs. Major argument/ discussion topic. A huge block of iron that pulls like a mule in a pickup! And now I see DOUBLE! (education)
I cant believe the compression loss from a loose plug would add up to enough to make one cylinder miss.The poor grounding wouldnt be an issue either.(spark jumps easy with no more gap than a cleaned-by-gas loose thread) It would eventually ruin the threads though. Good motors,though.
IMHO just having that wonderful GMC V12 firing up and running there in your workshop is as good as it gets. Would kinda be a shame to see it buried in a ratrod.
I am dying to know what your plan is for that awesome engine. A totally new and different RatRod? Give us a clue. So looking forward to a new project from your shop!
agree.....but did you ever use white bread?...sometimes a slice of bread will fill in a gap grease wont.....but ive took out many with grease and an old trans input shaft........ they do make a multi-size kit of dowel like bronze pins too.
Your electric chainsaw buddy kept saying 😆 Oh younger crowd watches I'm 28 and enjoy watching. You and Brown are seasoned models of my friend Wes and I. Wes is a certified Brown jr 😆 I own a trucking company and every time I'm home we spend endless hours in the shop building rigs and things. We haul Windmill components all over the country and spend months on the road so when we're home it's not time to sleep it's skip as much sleep to tinker in the shop.
thanks for stopping by my channel.. glad you can find the time to watch some of my stuff.. nothing more fun than banging around on some old iron in the shop with a buddy.. glad you have your "brown jr' haha.. take care and stop by when you can!
I ask bc me and my dad put one in a Chevy dump truck. I was only 10 and haven't seen one since. Been told by a few I was mistaken bc there is no GM v12. 😝 my dad had seen a few, but he is older than you, 80 an still tinkering. An young-ish ppl watch your channel hell im only 34 😆
Great video Mr impala, very slick extraction on that pilot bearing. No greasy pun intended. Some white bread stuffed on the center will do the same thing, with no mess but some old bread. I still love your videos, they are the bomb lol.
Had a bronze alloy pilot bushing in an old chevy pickup truck that would not come out. I greased and hammered and greased and hammered. Course I was trying to get it out with the bell housing still on.and I was laying on my back in my dad's garage. No lift except for my two arms and I was changing the clutch and pressure plate for a lady who would soon become an in law or out law depending on how you look at it. My best girl had told her aunt that I could fix what ailed her truck, she thinks I can fix anything. So being as my wife or girlfriend at the time had been bragging on me, I couldn't let her down. I finally I found a tap and tapped the bushing and then ran a bolt long enough into to it so that hit the crank and pressed that bushing right out and the rest is history.
Old...I'm only a young 45, grease, paper or anything that creates a displacement works. Have to admit my sons friends thought I was nuts when I told them how to do it.. they honestly didn't believe me
i know.. I wouldnt change anything on this piece of history. I love that it runs so well just as it was designed. I have nothing against protronix, but not on "this" baby! haha... I'm pretty sure they wouldnt have anything for a 1960 v12 anyway. :) thanks for watching!
One piece at a time will git er dun! I buy bearings and seals such as this at Motion Industries online ... www.motionindustries.com/. But .. last choice because they are proud! And, you will need to know the dimensions ... OD ID and Width! And I use a cheap set of calipers like that to check em! My Brother amazed me way back when I was but a teenager when he used grease to remove a crankshaft bushing/bearing! Neat rick!
i only used grease cuz thats what I saw my Dad use.. from the comments, it seems there are much cleaner things to use.. some people say use light bread, some say use bar soap. i reckon anything to displace the area behind the bearing would work. :) thanks for the website. I dont spect I'll have any trouble sourcing the bearing but I've saved that site!
My first was was one like in the beginning of the video it’s marked Sears. I paid $15 for it in the early 80s and cut a lot of wood with it. I could pull it off the shelf today add fresh gas and it would start. That gear reduction on the side. You could almost count the teeth on the chain while you were cutting.

They did make a v12 diesel, they are called Detroit diesels
@@kenteast9118 Not what I was referring to and the toro flow had nothing to do with detroit.
picked up a 305 v6 a couple of weekends ago, needs an exhaust manifold, cant wait to get it running, ive been after a 702 for a while, always wanted one since i was in 3rd grade
where are you located?
Confuse your friends and get a GMC 351. It's GM red, has 348/409 valve covers, Ford 351 cubic inches, plugs on the intake side, and has only 6 plugs. Major argument/ discussion topic. A huge block of iron that pulls like a mule in a pickup! And now I see DOUBLE! (education)
I have a 351
Learned something new. Did not know a pilot bearing could be removed with grease, and a socket. A 47 year old learns new tricks
I cant believe the compression loss from a loose plug would add up to enough to make one cylinder miss.The poor grounding wouldnt be an issue either.(spark jumps easy with no more gap than a cleaned-by-gas loose thread) It would eventually ruin the threads though. Good motors,though.
thats the only thing I found.. even if that wasn't the cause.. im still glad I found it.
IMHO just having that wonderful GMC V12 firing up and running there in your workshop is as good as it gets.
Would kinda be a shame to see it buried in a ratrod.
its not going to get "buried"..
Good to know, I am sure that whatever you do with it will be entertaining!
@@kimkiriniki9433 its gunna shine like a diamond in a goat's ass haha
I am dying to know what your plan is for that awesome engine. A totally new and different RatRod? Give us a clue. So looking forward to a new project from your shop!
stay tuned! :)
FACTORY MADE ? THANKS
the engine? yes sir!
What truck did gm use this engine in?

Who are you calling old???😎
myself
Dang it ole rpeak and powerful Chainsaw.
May 1988. My every day saw is an homelite xl 12 from the 70s and mow my yard with a 1969 sears ss12. Love the sound of the v12
That old v 12 has a sound all it's own
Man that big ol’ V12 is a Beast! I love it man! 👍👍🤘✌🏻Doug.......... Yes sir, sure is Cool!
I had a 478 1964 GMC flat bed by it was my first year off truck that's a dam good engine nice video
double breaker points ..... joyous!
The fuel lines are close...to heat...
runs better that way lol
I figured you were going to pound it full of white bread.
Grease has always been my go-to removal medium.
i just did it cause I saw my Dad do it when I was about "lil man's" age...
agree.....but did you ever use white bread?...sometimes a slice of bread will fill in a gap grease wont.....but ive took out many with grease and an old trans input shaft........ they do make a multi-size kit of dowel like bronze pins too.
Love the back fire on that v12
What do you mean young men don’t watch your channel? I’ve been young for over 65 years!
Once he sees this thing 😆😆😆😆
who?
Your electric chainsaw buddy kept saying 😆
Oh younger crowd watches I'm 28 and enjoy watching. You and Brown are seasoned models of my friend Wes and I. Wes is a certified Brown jr 😆
I own a trucking company and every time I'm home we spend endless hours in the shop building rigs and things.
We haul Windmill components all over the country and spend months on the road so when we're home it's not time to sleep it's skip as much sleep to tinker in the shop.
thanks for stopping by my channel.. glad you can find the time to watch some of my stuff.. nothing more fun than banging around on some old iron in the shop with a buddy.. glad you have your "brown jr' haha.. take care and stop by when you can!
Did you have to clean out a mouse nest first before you packed that bearing cavity with grease?
I ask bc me and my dad put one in a Chevy dump truck. I was only 10 and haven't seen one since. Been told by a few I was mistaken bc there is no GM v12. 😝 my dad had seen a few, but he is older than you, 80 an still tinkering. An young-ish ppl watch your channel hell im only 34 😆
Great video Mr impala, very slick extraction on that pilot bearing. No greasy pun intended. Some white bread stuffed on the center will do the same thing, with no mess but some old bread. I still love your videos, they are the bomb lol.
Had a bronze alloy pilot bushing in an old chevy pickup truck that would not come out. I greased and hammered and greased and hammered. Course I was trying to get it out with the bell housing still on.and I was laying on my back in my dad's garage. No lift except for my two arms and I was changing the clutch and pressure plate for a lady who would soon become an in law or out law depending on how you look at it. My best girl had told her aunt that I could fix what ailed her truck, she thinks I can fix anything. So being as my wife or girlfriend at the time had been bragging on me, I couldn't let her down. I finally I found a tap and tapped the bushing and then ran a bolt long enough into to it so that hit the crank and pressed that bushing right out and the rest is history.
June 1960 ........so im prolly the youngest you got .
September '59...
Still running original unmodified components..
Kim Kiriniki old timer 😀
👍
Kim Kiriniki Sept 59 ......that was the date of my build sheet .I was born 9 months later he he
I want one of these so cool
Put on a blower,and put it in an old Dodge pick up,and enter it in tractor pulls!!!YES,YES,YES!!!
Old...I'm only a young 45, grease, paper or anything that creates a displacement works. Have to admit my sons friends thought I was nuts when I told them how to do it.. they honestly didn't believe me
I think a piece of lexan would make a nice points cover.
i think you are right :)
hows that v-12 gonna work with that chainsaw?? and get rid of those points on that v-12 give pertronix a call!
those points are going "nowhere"! :)
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire thats okay too. it's just an opinion.
i know.. I wouldnt change anything on this piece of history. I love that it runs so well just as it was designed. I have nothing against protronix, but not on "this" baby! haha... I'm pretty sure they wouldnt have anything for a 1960 v12 anyway. :) thanks for watching!
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire i can understand. as the saying goes:if it's not broke, don't fix it.
been so long sice I had to remove a pilot bearing I completely forgot about hammering grease into it
one young guy here im 26 i love this old iron i hate fuel injection
One piece at a time will git er dun! I buy bearings and seals such as this at Motion Industries online ... www.motionindustries.com/. But .. last choice because they are proud! And, you will need to know the dimensions ... OD ID and Width! And I use a cheap set of calipers like that to check em! My Brother amazed me way back when I was but a teenager when he used grease to remove a crankshaft bushing/bearing! Neat rick!
i only used grease cuz thats what I saw my Dad use.. from the comments, it seems there are much cleaner things to use.. some people say use light bread, some say use bar soap. i reckon anything to displace the area behind the bearing would work. :) thanks for the website. I dont spect I'll have any trouble sourcing the bearing but I've saved that site!
My first was was one like in the beginning of the video it’s marked Sears. I paid $15 for it in the early 80s and cut a lot of wood with it. I could pull it off the shelf today add fresh gas and it would start. That gear reduction on the side. You could almost count the teeth on the chain while you were cutting.
Hahahaha!!! The chainsaw whisperer!!!
