    Interested in seeing your ideas you have for the V12. There was a few tried those around here back in the day but they were exchanged for diesel engines because of fuel mileage.

    Had a 63 Plymouth Savoy with a push button Torqueflite. That was a great car.
    Actions speak louder than words and you dew a lot of action but it's better with the words. Keep up the good work and good words. Enjoyed it.

    There are so many configurations of SAE bellhousing sizes and starter fitments and locations it gets confusing , anything that was used as industrial engines back then the companies that sold the equipment wanted people to have to go back to them for the parts . I love seeing these old engines brought back to life .

    • @Mercmad
      @Mercmad 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When i was playing with early Hemis years ago, I tried to find the SAE specs for bell housings because every one kept saying " get such and such SAE bell housing so you can bolt a manual blah blah" Damned hard to find that info without paying a subscription to the SAE for access to their library. .

I just happened to grow up dirt poor on a farm back in the 60s and we didnt have money to hire people to repair things so when a tractor or piece of equipment broke down.. we had to LEARN how to fix it.. half of it is attitude..I overhauled a chevy 283 engine when I was 16 because I didn't know that I couldnt do that. haha..I just assumed that I could.. so i DID! haha.. thanks for watching man.. sure appreciate it!

    Hey Ken about a year ago ( I didn't think it was that long) you were playing alot with the V12 and rumbling about wait til you see what I do with this. I was thinking about a couple ton something getting a large transplant! But it seems to have disappeared and the Hemi engines are there. Do you still have the 702? Maybe I missed a video? I try not to.

    Things like that "cruddy" bellhousing is where a can of "EasyOff" oven cleaner comes in handy. Scrape all the heavy deposit off, then, hit it a few times with the oven cleaner. Works pretty well and it's pretty "affordable". That thing reminds me of a "Disney" friendly dragon.

I wonder what a couple turbos would add,and maybe fuel injection. But that's really gonna depend on the vehicle you choose.

    On the subject of engines, and transmissions......I have a 67 C/10 short bed step side with a 250 six, and three on the tree. I obtained an S 10 five speed. Do you think that the five speed will bolt up to the 250 bell housing without a bunch of trouble. I know that you put a five speed in the rocka billy rat rod, was just wondering if you had any trouble with that process.

    • @1963impala2drWaylonWire
      @1963impala2drWaylonWire  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      it is my understanding that if you elongate a couple of holes on the bell housing, (rat tail file) the bolts will line up.. but the input shaft on the t5 will be too long. so you either have to cut some off the end.. I cant remember how much... maybe 1/2 inch.. or you can build an aluminum spacer of that thickness.. the rockabilly bell housing is different than yours so I had to adapt the spacer to the bell housing.. then drill it for the tranny to bolt up. yours is way easier. you may have to have a drive shaft made.. good luck!

    Waylon - these things are cool as hell - but in stock configuration the torque peak is (no exaggeration ) about 1200 rpm. They had pneumatic governors that limited them to about 2800-3000 rpm. A couple outfits have fitted the big valve heads and stuff to them. There's a video of one free-running and they proudly wind it up to all of 5 Grand. If it was me I would enhance the high rpm with a crank-driven centrifugal blower and use an aftercooler on it's air output. Then I'd bite the bullet and figure out how to get throttle-body computerized fuel injection to work right on the thing (blow-through carbs are for either real low boost or for drag racing only). To my way of thinking that would be preferable to changing a whole bunch of heads, cams and manifolds - "keep it more original" that way but also not "Me too" the thing. The injection could be made to cut it off at 5,000 rpm as well.

      no computerized stuff for this baby.. I know its maxed at about 2400 rpms..thats where it makes 630 ft lbs of torque.. thats why I'm putting lots of gears behind it.. I have a 10 speed and a 2 speed rear end AND a 2 speed OR a 4 speed brownie box if I need it.. I'm not building anything to go flying down the freeway at 80 mph.. I'm just having fun man! :) thanks for watching!

      @@1963impala2drWaylonWire I just remembered something - that IMPCO "CA Series" propane mixers (carbs) are about the only non-electronic things that could ever keep the mixture constant regardless of how much boost was put on their inlet. I don't like them because they don't respond right away when the foot throttle (or governor control) is slapped open - there is a big diaphragm that shuffles up and down and slides an air metering valve more open or more closed depending on the vacuum/pressures on both sides of it. As used on tons of propane forklifts it has a weird feel like there is throttle lag - on a plain (non-turbo) engine!
      I have never seen a natural gas fueled 702 - but from pictures I think the mixers on them might be those IMPCOs.
      If you ever get tired of the super low torque peak (deliberately built into) of the 702 then probably a belt-driven centrifugal blower and a couple of those mixers - along with changing the deliberately restrictive iron exhaust manifolds - would be the easiest way to raise it.
      I read somewhere that back in the 1920s/30s limousines had to have big low compression engines to smoothly move those old heavy barges around from a standstill and in stop and go traffic without any fuss. But then instead of busily shifting gears 10 times to get to highway speed they preferred to have a nice quiet centrifugal blower extend the rev range enough to where 3 speeds (and only two shifts) would do. Last thing in this vein I want to add is that real real wide gear spacing (compared to later common 3 speed transmissions) would have been used. No worries about dropping the rpms down out of the power band like with a cammed up high rpm engine - because of starting with a "grunt motor" in the first place.

      A few were put in GMC and Chevrolet Semis. I heard they drank so much gasoline that private operators stayed away from them. Saw a couple in old GMC Cab+Chassis units that were made into fire trucks. I have heard about a California company whose business was tanker trucks that made the engines burn propane fuel out of the like 4,000 gallon tank on the back. (Realize propane was dirt cheap then - "a byproduct of gasoline refining") and they ran them a long time - well up into the mid-late 1970s.

      they came stock in some of the old Seagrave fire trucks.. I've had some comments from 2 guys who actually ran them back in the day.. one guy said he hauled groceries in an old GMC semi' that got 1/2 mpg loaded and 2 mpg empty! haha.. of course back then gas was 24 cents per gallon so who cared ! its so cool I dont care either..but I'll probably have to save my lunch money just to go cruisin' on saturday night haha

      white stuff is for "santas" vehicle on runners for conveying loads or passengers over snow or ice, often pulled by draught animals.
