I started watching your videos with you and Orwell. Your no nonsense approach to everything you do is what keeps me coming back. Loved the tear down of the buzzin dozen. I learned a lot from your videos. Being an old retired pavement pounder I look forward to each new vid that comes out. Keep up the great videos.
If u want my opinion. I'd try to find an old big sleeper marmon. Something you don't normally see on the road. Or maybe an Autocar or an old white gmc.
thanks for taking the time to make your videos.I do enjoy Orwell but I also enjoy your mechanical videos as well. I think you do nice work with your editing.
This reminds me that back in the day around 1959 everyone, no matter what type classes we took in high school, had to take a mechanical drawing course. Our final project was for each of us to draw a set of blueprints for a diesel engine.
years ago I did an 8V71 after it swallowed a valve and ran away,, first engine i rebuilt. ran it for 18 months and sold it, got a new truck with a Cummins, had better luck with the 350 and 400's.retired now and enjoy your videos pull toy here,
I am in awe of what these awesome big Detroit V engines must be like in their prime, my only experience is with a couple of in-line 4 cylinder 71’s in Euclid motorscrapers years ago & these were unburstable in use & sounded fabulous😀 Great videos btw👏👏👏
Where would we be without family? I remember my Dad teaching me about electricity him being a master electrician and me being afraid of doing something wrong. Well now I'm 45 with a five-year apprenticeship behind me and 27 years in the field only a journeymen electrician, I still ask him questions about code, and what not only difference is I now know enough to not be scared of asking a dumb question. LOL
I had an uncle that told me once when I was maybe 12 years ago that he had a picture of a Detroit on his living room wall and it got oil stains on the carpet! Lol
I think you should fab up a stand before you start reassembly of that big boy that will let you flip and fit pieces easily . I drove a screamon deamon for a couple of trips back in the 70's still can't hear !!
@@98Pete I use it everyday working heavy equipment. That little thing has been abused and feels like it's lost no power at all. It taken nuts off that probably should have only been touched by a 1" impact gun. Ill stand by milwaukee just for that tool alone
I hope you are getting help putting that back together.I was a Detroit mechanic for 15 yrs.and know offense but I don't think you can get it back together.Detroits are a different breed.
Steve, did you ever find a truck to put this in? My uncle at one time had a TransStar II sitting in his backyard. No clue as to powerplant or if it ran. Hadn't moved in years. I'll ask my dad if it's still around and he wants to sell it.
find a pacific P16 and throw that beast in a that monster of a truck! haha had to say it for a good laugh, even though its a off road logging truck still would be cool!
You should find a Brockway to put that Buzzin Dozen in. Would bring in a lot more viewers for sure
Absolutely, considering he's from Jersey. It would be a great fit. Problem is finding a good roller.
A mid 70's diamond reo cabover would be a awesome unique truck to build and so would a Marmon
I love where you're going with this project. Get as rare a truck as you can. Adds to the cool factor in my opinion
Well, its currently 5:30 AM and I can't sleep. But hey, at least I can watch you. Your videos bring me positivity. Thank you.

can you imagine them requiring that today?🤪
Great work looks like you have a bright future ahead
Great video as always Steve 👍
GMC General. stretched, 86" sleeper. Or, GMC Astro 95.
So at 3:21, that damn block, really shows it’s a mooose!
Good job taking that crank out, I just took intake and heads off my 460v8 what a job. Well keep on trucking see ya next time see ya bye.
Put this motor in a Autocar truck. Give Orwell a run for his money going down the road!

Great video Steve now you can find out about your block and other sorted parts from the machine shop 👍
Very interesting engine. Greetings from Ukraine!
Good job

There's a yellow coe pete out in your lot you can put that motor in 🤣 just saying love the content keep up the good work 👌👍👏
That truck belongs to someone else. Otherwise if he could fit the motor in it then that would be cool.

On west coast. It's currently 4 30 am rite now. Damn that block is massive. I'm surprised your smaller air impact got those main bolts out.. Nice
Those are 1200ft lb impacts.
@@98Pete Oh ok thanks. I was thinking half that. 6-700 ft lb.
Man needs one of those 1/2 inch milwaukee Impacts. Screw all that air
@@haydona1845 agree they are worth the money

You need to put this awesome engine in cabover of some sort🤘 cabover trucks look alot cooler then conventional trucks.
I hope you are getting help putting that back together.I was a Detroit mechanic for 15 yrs.and know offense but I don't think you can get it back together.Detroits are a different breed.
How about a Peterbilt 372 Cabover, they are pretty rare. And for the crack in the block, would Lock 'n Stitch or something similar be an option.
Have you chosen a rebuilder for your buzzin' dozen yet?
Steve, did you ever find a truck to put this in?

Hadn't moved in years. I'll ask my dad if it's still around and he wants to sell it.
How come you didn't do some curls with the crankshaft?

I think a gmc long nose 9500 would be perfect for that engine...
It's too bad that you didn't have access to a forklift that has forks that rotate upside down.
Detroit Diesels designed to convert fuel into smoke and noise.
So are old Alco diesel locomotives turbocharger lag caused 'em to smoke like a steam engine!
Gauged in Smiles per Gallon! 😉
get a haans
can you still get parts for that engine.....yes they must be smoking meth.....
