As usual is always good to see the family working on something together your kids are off the chains they always willing to try something special with a dad that's a good thing keep up the good work
Hey I'm subscriber I just really enjoyed seeing family working together and you and your kids and your wife y'all work together real good and that's the way life ought to be that goes to show you how y'all doing a good job raising your kids just keep doing what you do
Sir, I know that I'm not a suscriber, but here's what has worked for decades. 50/50 mix of Acetone and A.T.F. No damage ever, and yes it works. God bless. T.S. RACING
i recommend seafoam... into the spark plug holes...sit for awhile.. turn by hand, gradually. I did this on a boat engine. patience helps. worked out just fine.
Ralphie power! That engine put up quite the fight. I’m glad y’all were able to break that engine loose. There will be no living with Ralphie for a few days!
Transmission oil in the cylinders works great, pull the plugs and fill up. Let it sit for a while, and turn it over using the crankshaft bolt. The cylinders need lubrication. Great video, and a blessing of a family. Keep up the great videos.
After seeing the amount of rust and debris inside that block I was convinced she was never going to break free. Good job you had the power of Ralphie to hand.
I loved this video. I'm working on freeing an engine. And this was wonderful entertainment. So proud to see a dad and his kids doing this. A lifetime of memories for those children. Excellent excellent parenting.
Ralphy power to the rescue. Awesome video, love to see the whole family involved on your projects. This is something that they will fondly reflect on in the years to come.
Well I hope you learned something. Next time a stuck engine comes in.. for God's sake put Ralphie on that thing First! Save yourself all that work & just supervise. 😂😂 great video! 👍
Grandfather bought a locked up Farmall tractor. Put a socket, breaker bar and a ten foot pipe on the crankshaft with several hundred pounds of iron on the end of the pipe. Oiled the cylinders and walked away. Three weeks later all the iron was laying on the ground. Time, pressure, leverage and a bit of oil mixed with kerosene broke it loose. Just another weapon in an arsenal of tricks to use if all else fails. Good job on the video.
Glad to see it broke loose! Vinegar is a good go to, the muriatic acid seemed a little extreme but still works! If you had brakes and a clutch, I would have tried to “pop start” it and see if it would come free. Hope to see more content soon!
The vinegar looked like it did absolutely nothing being a water based liquid. It just sat on the grease. Should have tried gumout. Some kind of hot , hot solvent.
Hey sleeper dude your son Ralph is going to make a great mechanic one day! We just love your show and your beautiful family! Vinegar is one of the best cleaners there is! It’s also great for windows, screens , mixed with water stains ! May GODS BLESSINGS BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Your going to have to bore that block maybe 30 or 40 over to clear up those cylinders so you will get maximum compression or it’s not going to have any power and will sling oil out of the exhaust if it will even build enough cylinder pressure to even run. It’s worth doing if you ask me because that’s definitely a going to town car for your family.
That is if it can be bored , some of the cylinders may have too much rust . If more than one or two need sleeved then it would be better to find another block .
I'm not busting but watching your videos is like watching modern leave it to beaver and I've been watching that show for 50 plus years...injoy watching all your videos.....
SleeperDude: “I’m going to try to save this engine that other people would probably give up on. Oh, and I’m going to pull it to the garage with this Winnebago I saved that other people probably gave up on.” 🔥 So much happiness in this video. 🔥
I drove a 64 country squire wagon for 18 years and it was 11 yrs old when I bought it. Loved it..had to get rid because it was frame damaged and going down.
You have a great family... Its been an honor to get to know them....goats and pigs and dogs included .It must be great to have Ralphie around when you need muscle .Way to go Ralphie !...Thanks for the great videos. From a big fan in Idaho.
Love that you involved your family. I can see in another few years your kids will be headed to the drag strip Mixin' it up!!!! Thanx! I have a stuck engine...I hope not as bad as this one !!
Dude, you got that engine to free up was there ever any doubt of that with Ralphie and Rocky on the job? Its always a pleasure to watch your video's and its good to see the family out there with you giving you a helping hand. You have got to get everyone to eating those Vienna's and drinking RC cola. I am now addicted to the Bar-B-Q Bourbon Vienna's they are so good. Until next time my friend, y'all be safe out there.
Well done! For better and faster results, you should degrease the bores before you add your vinegar. Otherwise, the oil blocks most of the vinegar from reaching the rust. Vinegar still works with greasy bores, but takes much longer and is less effective. When you have rusty bores, the rust you can see isn't really the problem; you can brush and hone that away. It's the rust you couldn''t see that was locking up the motor. Phosphoric acid works quicker and better than vinegar. As you've already discovered, muratic acid also desolves rust, but it also tends to dissolve any alloy (eg, pistons). It's easier to neutralize acid with baking soda if you dissolve the soda in boiling water first. But well done, you put the effort in and got the result :)
Do you have any suggestions on a 3.4l Toyota engine that has sat for 3yrs and the rings are rusted. It will turn over fine it just sounds crazy with no compression. I tried ATF & acetone mix with no luck. It seems like everything just seeps past the rings into the crankcase before it has a chance to work. I haven't tried white vinegar or industrial vinegar. Just hoping I can find someone out there that can help me save this engine. Thanks.
@@dgmenace73 First you need to check the engine bores with a borescope to check that the valves aren't bent or the pistons damaged. If they're okay, you must degrease the engine, or the rust remover won't be able to get to the rust. Remove the spark plugs and DON'T replace them until the job is complete, or you may hydraulic the engine. Live with the fact that whenever you turn over the engine, crap will spray out of the spark plug holes. Using a spray bottle, lightly spray in detergent mixed with water then cautiously turn over the engine using the starter. Repeat until oily crap stops spraying out the spark plug holes. Detergent foam coming out the spark plug holes is okay. Then lightly spray phosphoric acid, Evapo-Rust or vinegar through the spark plug holes. Lightly turn the engine over to ensure an even spread. Leave phosphoric acid for maybe 12 hours, Evapo-Rust or vinegar for maybe 24-72 hours.Keep the bores wet with rust remover at all times or the rust remover will stop working. Then spray a small amount of water into the bores to remove the rust remover and gently turn the engine over by hand. Then wet the bores again and spin the engine over on the starter until crap stops coming out the spark plug holes. Repeat several times. Then spray in some penetrating oil and turn the engine over on the starter motor until crap stops spraying out the plug holes. Repeat this several times. Drain the engine oil and replace it. Then replace the spark plugs and use engine starter to start the engine. Good luck.
@Clive Matthew-Wilson thank you.....I actually had watched so many videos that I had decided to at least try exactly what you said. Anything i have tried already didn't get a chance because there was still oil on the rings. I think this just may very well work and I plan on recording the processes. I already had regular vinegar and some of the 45% I think is what it is. Someone else mentioned to heat the rust remover and any oil to 145° since heat makes metal expand as well as makes detergents clean better. Sounds reasonable to me? I will let you know if this works and let me know if anything I just mentioned is a waste of time or a bad idea ( like heating the chemicals up some). Thanks for replying.
Cool video, keep in mind 3rd gear gives you the most power and muriatic acid dissolves aluminum really not good for the Pistons. Check online for a product called Gibbs it's a high penetrant rust dissolver and will loosen most engines after it sets a few days, I think the engine might run but it's probably going to use a lot of oil unless you rebuild it
I'm glad someone else mentioned this. I kept thinking "why don't they put it in 3rd?" In the end, the breaker bar probably had even more torque though.
Looks like it was a really tough one! My favorite things to try were covered right off...a 2x4 and a heavy Tonya Harding, followed by muriatic acid (!) I was going to suggest Kroil, and Evaporust too. Probably the next step now, since the acid will eat up the pistons anyhow, would be a 0.040" overbore, or better yet an FE transplant!
I have a stuck 289 in my Mustang. I'm going to try a 50/50 mix of trans fluid and acetone. I doubt it will break loose, and I've really got way too much going on to spend time on it, but it's worth a shot. Once again, great video.
just stumbled on this video, and I got say, I enjoyed it, like seeing who family interacting, kids getting hands dirty, just good old family right here, thanks.
Kroil is pretty amazing at freeing things up that have seized from rust and sitting. Great Work and nice video. Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John PS, I am a gunsmith and do restoration work on some really old and rare firearms. Kroil is the best thing for saving parts that might have wound up in the trash. Some of the guns I repair don't have replacement parts available for them. Soak them with Kroil and let them sit. Making parts isn't easy or inexpensive, Sooo...
Another great video. I must admit, I never expected that old motor to break free. I’ve also never heard of the Muriatic acid trick which was fascinating to watch in time lapse. Ralphy power for the win! It may not have great compression in a couple of those pitted cylinders but I bet it will run👍🏻
congrats guys! Truth is the vinegar and hydrochloric acid soaks likely loosened the pistons up enough that using the breaker bar on crank bolt would have worked...but who knows?? Ya had a bad situation there, wonder what if you resorted to the welded on lever right off??? maybe could have avoided the acid damage. How will it run?? well it would not be my choice for restoration methods. Use lots of Marvel in the oil so that heat of running will wash out the ring grooves then dump the oil and refill with heavy weight to help seal the pitted cylinders. Rust is a fatal blow to engines, disassembly and rebuild is really the only solid choice. You guys are first class entertainers!!!
Check out the guys on the Restored channel. They are experts at freeing stuck engines. Also if you can get a prybar on a flywheel tooth, you can get the best leverage. Also use a 4x4 with a mini slegde to pound on the pistons.

Man I can't believe how that motor was stuck. I didn't know that chemical would do something like that. Man Ralphie is real strong to break that motor loose like that. I Know This Much no one down in Tennessee better not mess with Ralphie. He will break their bones in half. You go " RALPHIE " what a good way to help your dad out. Good Video buddy thank you for sure.
@@nothing9271 pois é ! E isso mesmo ! = Não sei aí no seu país mais aqui no Brasil hoje em dia quase todos os carros que são fabricados; são conhecidos como -( carros - de - plástico) / pois a lataria e fraca ,sua suspensão não aguenta muito etc... Atribuo isso aos carros populares ,pois na minha opinião são os mais fracassados aqui no Brasil na época de hoje . No entanto os populares há uns aninhos atrás não eram ruins, por exemplo ; meu pai possui um( Chevrolet celta ) esse carro e de 1000 cilindradas do ano ( 2009) no entanto ele tem lataria forte ; tem suspensão forte ; apesar de ser 1000 tem o motor bastante valente ! Mais de uns anos pra car os carros do Brasil em algumas marcas populares estão deichando muito a desejar ... No entanto nosso país passa por uma alta absurda no valor das coisas e os carros populares estão caros de mais = exemplo o mais barato daqui tá custando hoje quase ( 50 mil reais) = preço de avista ,pois se for a prestação sai muito mais caro/ o que é um absurdo... Aqui quem tem um carro antigo ,seja bem - antigo ou antigo moderno ; e esse carro ainda e de um tempo bom - seus donos estão investindo neles para manter - Los rodando e em perfeitas condições... Pois eo que e muito mais significativo nós dias atuais ... Os melhores carros também aqui nos temos = exemplo ( Toyota - corola) mais carros dessa espécie,esses e que estão caros ; os direitos que são pagos de um veículo aqui são uma exploração - o valor dos documentos anualmente e uma guerra _ sem contar com o alto preço da gasolina... Aqui no Brasil para a maioria está assim = quem tem um carro tem - quem não tem tá difícil de comprar um ... No entanto essa crise valorizou muito os carros usados , valorizou muito os carros antigos !!! E tem ensinando muito a nós brasileiros a economizar ... Os carros antigos daqui são semelhantes aos daí ; na resistência de seus materiais que são fortes !!! Só não sei se hoje em dia aí estar igual aqui ? Será que aí também os carros de algumas marcas são fabricados fracos ? Ou continuam igual aos carros por - exemplo dos anos (70) ? Que são feitos mesmo de verdade ? Será que aí e assim ? Se me responder ficarei agradecido !!!
Another great video! I love the Ralphie power! Keep up the great work. I would be curious as well to see if it would run with the current bottom end condition. Of course probably going to use a little oil. Lol 👍
I love how these videos are a family activity, fantastic! Just started watching your videos last week and subscribed this week. I personally think if you try to run it the way it is the pistons will shatter. The structural integrity of them is compromised from the acid. Rebuild and save that little 289 powerhouse. Grew up with parents owning station wagons and I grew fond of them. Does that one have the rumble seat?
Man, yall got to be the greatest. I'm only aboaut 10 minutes in and I don't know how this will end but I know tons of master mechanics that wouldn't even try this. Keep going. "It's almost like a science project." Great philosophy. For all my hair-brained schemes, when my wife used to ask me, "Is this going to work?"" I always said, "I don't know Honey. It's all an experiment."
this will need at very minimum: New Sleeves and new pistons... and valve seating work... at this point it would be better to get an engine from the junkyard
At least the small dog got the first Vainia ..... Good show man. I am in South Africa and recently took a friend to go start a 1 year standing 1976 Mercedes 230 123 series ge got for free from hie grand parents. Got a taste of what you are doing on a much smaller scale though. I think You, Pudding and Mortsky are teh guys to follow!
I'm all in with Ralphy's idea: set it on fire! If it don't come loose, you (and we) at least have an awesome bonfire 🙂 Admire your persistence and the way you fixed this as a family. And what a glorious moment for Ralphy breaking that thing loose.
Really enjoyed watching your video! Took a family effort to get that motor loose! A memory Ralphie will never forget his entire life! That 289 was a good motor for Ford. Looking at that bore, I would say pull the block, bore it out, new pistons, rings. Those were great cars so worth the effort. Some other nice projects going on there also so will check back!
As usual is always good to see the family working on something together your kids are off the chains they always willing to try something special with a dad that's a good thing keep up the good work

You know that old saying, " many hands make light work" . You and the Family proved that to be true. Can't wait to see more on this wagon !
Thank you I am blessed
i recommend seafoam... into the spark plug holes...sit for awhile.. turn by hand, gradually. I did this on a boat engine. patience helps. worked out just fine.
Love the family involvement, and especially how supportive big sister is of her little bro. So nice to see…
Thank you.
Ralphie is the man today all that hard work and all you needed was Ralphie
That’s true
Ralphie power! That engine put up quite the fight. I’m glad y’all were able to break that engine loose. There will be no living with Ralphie for a few days!
You are right
Go ralphie
Ralphie Power yoohoo!
Great to watch and great how you involved your boy so much and trusting him to tow. Great ending when he freed the engine.
Thank you I am blessed
Agree! Reminds me of my childhood and not like most parents/kids are today! Keep it up man!
Transmission oil in the cylinders works great, pull the plugs and fill up. Let it sit for a while, and turn it over using the crankshaft bolt. The cylinders need lubrication. Great video, and a blessing of a family. Keep up the great videos.
Ok thank you
Its a real joy seeing you working with the family, God bless you and yours.
Thank you
I was quite relieved when your science worked on those bores! Great to see the family all together and having fun. Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Thank you
After seeing the amount of rust and debris inside that block I was convinced she was never going to break free. Good job you had the power of Ralphie to hand.
Thank you I did too
So fun to watch the entire family involved with your projects! Congratulations to Ralphie on breaking it loose! Let’s see that wagon run!
Thank you I appreciate it

So good to see the wagon back hope you get it running this time I know you can with a mechanic like rocky
Yes he is a great helper

Grandfather bought a locked up Farmall tractor. Put a socket, breaker bar and a ten foot pipe on the crankshaft with several hundred pounds of iron on the end of the pipe.

Yes thank you
yea muriatic acid would work faster, but idk what else it might hurt unless neutralized. edit: I see now he used baking soda, neat
The vinegar looked like it did absolutely nothing being a water based liquid. It just sat on the grease.
Should have tried gumout.
Some kind of hot , hot solvent.
This is my favorite science experiment ever. The bubbling acid is wild.
It was crazy thanks
Hey sleeper dude your son Ralph is going to make a great mechanic one day! We just love your show and your beautiful family! Vinegar is one of the best cleaners there is!

Such good people, cheerful and easygoing. I really enjoyed the show.I didnt think youd ever get that thing to budge.
Thank you, I didn’t either
Great family you got there..
Dude you are blessed with a great wife and family. They are always there to help. Need to get Ralphie a super hero outfit LOL
That’s funny thank you
Good to see the family all pitching in to get that thing broke lose. Try run it like it is 🤙🏻
Thank you
The muscle flex that ralphie did after he broke the engine loose >> 😂😂😂 reminds me of me when I was a kid lol
He’s crazy
Love everything you do. Family always wins.
Thank you
Omg, so satisfying to see it break loose. Eye protection around that acid!
Thank you

It’s worth doing if you ask me because that’s definitely a going to town car for your family.
Yes sir !!!
Adds more cost to the build I would light bore it maby .10 over
I'm thinking 0.60 won't be enough, that would be max on them cylinder walls
That is if it can be bored , some of the cylinders may have too much rust . If more than one or two need sleeved then it would be better to find another block .
I'm not busting but watching your videos is like watching modern leave it to beaver and I've been watching that show for 50 plus years...injoy watching all your videos.....

You probably won't believe me but if taking some gas and oil mix put some into each cylinder then light it and let the heat do it's job.
Ok good to know
@@Sleeperdude
Ralphie did say to light it on fire.
How about your right my dad did that it worked
Or use 'boiling oil'.
Heat plus it thins it up so it penetrates better.

Yeah, 2x4 on the cylinders to shock it loose was my first thought after the first cleanup!!! Same principal as an impact gun. The acid is the big gun.
I say throw the heads an intake back and crank it! I enjoy this channel so much. What a great family.👍👍
I am wanting to
I have a stuck 289 in my Mustang. I'm going to try a 50/50 mix of trans fluid and acetone. I doubt it will break loose, and I've really got way too much going on to spend time on it, but it's worth a shot. Once again, great video.
Thank you. Marvel mystery works wonders
just stumbled on this video, and I got say, I enjoyed it, like seeing who family interacting, kids getting hands dirty, just good old family right here, thanks.
Kroil is pretty amazing at freeing things up that have seized from rust and sitting.
Great Work and nice video.
Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John
PS, I am a gunsmith and do restoration work on some really old and rare firearms. Kroil is the best thing for saving parts that might have wound up in the trash. Some of the guns I repair don't have replacement parts available for them. Soak them with Kroil and let them sit. Making parts isn't easy or inexpensive, Sooo...
Ok thanks for the info
Now it's time to see her run little man can't wait to drive it you guys are awesome i love watching you guys you have a wonderful family
Thank you I appreciate it
Another great video. I must admit, I never expected that old motor to break free. I’ve also never heard of the Muriatic acid trick which was fascinating to watch in time lapse. Ralphy power for the win! It may not have great compression in a couple of those pitted cylinders but I bet it will run👍🏻
ITT surprised me too thanks for watching
congrats guys! Truth is the vinegar and hydrochloric acid soaks likely loosened the pistons up enough that using the breaker bar on crank bolt would have worked...but who knows?? Ya had a bad situation there, wonder what if you resorted to the welded on lever right off??? maybe could have avoided the acid damage. How will it run?? well it would not be my choice for restoration methods. Use lots of Marvel in the oil so that heat of running will wash out the ring grooves then dump the oil and refill with heavy weight to help seal the pitted cylinders. Rust is a fatal blow to engines, disassembly and rebuild is really the only solid choice. You guys are first class entertainers!!!
Thank you I appreciate it
Check out the guys on the Restored channel. They are experts at freeing stuck engines.
Also if you can get a prybar on a flywheel tooth, you can get the best leverage.
Also use a 4x4 with a mini slegde to pound on the pistons.
Ok thanks
That was awesome you got that thing free that was cool stuff
Thank you
Ole Puddin has used vinegar twice to free up an engine successfully.
That’s awesome. It does clean well I think we were just too rusted
Ralphie and his PB blaster is what did the trick good job lil man!
Maybe so!
Yes it did
En mi localidad solo existe la red inalámbrica de telefonía para usar internet, sin muchas posibilidades de agregar mucho tiempo de reproducción al canal pero, como me gusta tanto el canal, me descargo todos los vídeos para ver cuándo tengo tiempo. Los quiero mucho, cuidense, desde Argentina el tío Joel.
Man I can't believe how that motor was stuck. I didn't know that chemical would do something like that. Man Ralphie is real strong to break that motor loose like that. I Know This Much no one down in Tennessee better not mess with Ralphie. He will break their bones in half. You go " RALPHIE " what a good way to help your dad out. Good Video buddy thank you for sure.
Thanks man glad you liked it. Who knew Ralphie had it in him I sure didn’t. I didn’t think we would get it unstuck. Have a good weekend
Sou do Brasil e gosto desse canal !!! Esses carros são do tempo que se fazia carro fazendo mesmo !!!
achei o brasileiro kkk
@@RaimarLunardi e isso aí !!! Valeu 👍 amigão 👍
"I'm from Brazil and I really enjoyed this channel this kind of cars are from back when they used to make real cars" - Gerbson
@@nothing9271 pois é ! E isso mesmo ! = Não sei aí no seu país mais aqui no Brasil hoje em dia quase todos os carros que são fabricados; são conhecidos como -( carros - de - plástico) / pois a lataria e fraca ,sua suspensão não aguenta muito etc... Atribuo isso aos carros populares ,pois na minha opinião são os mais fracassados aqui no Brasil na época de hoje . No entanto os populares há uns aninhos atrás não eram ruins, por exemplo ; meu pai possui um( Chevrolet celta ) esse carro e de 1000 cilindradas do ano ( 2009) no entanto ele tem lataria forte ; tem suspensão forte ; apesar de ser 1000 tem o motor bastante valente ! Mais de uns anos pra car os carros do Brasil em algumas marcas populares estão deichando muito a desejar ... No entanto nosso país passa por uma alta absurda no valor das coisas e os carros populares estão caros de mais = exemplo o mais barato daqui tá custando hoje quase ( 50 mil reais) = preço de avista ,pois se for a prestação sai muito mais caro/ o que é um absurdo... Aqui quem tem um carro antigo ,seja bem - antigo ou antigo moderno ; e esse carro ainda e de um tempo bom - seus donos estão investindo neles para manter - Los rodando e em perfeitas condições... Pois eo que e muito mais significativo nós dias atuais ... Os melhores carros também aqui nos temos = exemplo ( Toyota - corola) mais carros dessa espécie,esses e que estão caros ; os direitos que são pagos de um veículo aqui são uma exploração - o valor dos documentos anualmente e uma guerra _ sem contar com o alto preço da gasolina... Aqui no Brasil para a maioria está assim = quem tem um carro tem - quem não tem tá difícil de comprar um ... No entanto essa crise valorizou muito os carros usados , valorizou muito os carros antigos !!! E tem ensinando muito a nós brasileiros a economizar ... Os carros antigos daqui são semelhantes aos daí ; na resistência de seus materiais que são fortes !!! Só não sei se hoje em dia aí estar igual aqui ? Será que aí também os carros de algumas marcas são fabricados fracos ? Ou continuam igual aos carros por - exemplo dos anos (70) ? Que são feitos mesmo de verdade ? Será que aí e assim ? Se me responder ficarei agradecido !!!

Way to go Ralphie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You the young Man
Thank you
Another great video! I love the Ralphie power! Keep up the great work. I would be curious as well to see if it would run with the current bottom end condition. Of course probably going to use a little oil. Lol 👍
Thank you, I agree
I love that wagon. Pull it out and rebuild it. Those were such cool looking wagons.
I love wagons too
That old camper runs good
Yes can’t wait to fix the interior
E for EFFORT guys! Persistence pays off. Love how the whole fam jam plays a big part of your videos. Keep up the awesome content!
I love how these videos are a family activity, fantastic! Just started watching your videos last week and subscribed this week. I personally think if you try to run it the way it is the pistons will shatter. The structural integrity of them is compromised from the acid. Rebuild and save that little 289 powerhouse. Grew up with parents owning station wagons and I grew fond of them. Does that one have the rumble seat?
That’s awesome thank you for subscribing, yes it has a 3rd seat
Man, yall got to be the greatest. I'm only aboaut 10 minutes in and I don't know how this will end but I know tons of master mechanics that wouldn't even try this. Keep going. "It's almost like a science project." Great philosophy. For all my hair-brained schemes, when my wife used to ask me, "Is this going to work?"" I always said, "I don't know Honey. It's all an experiment."
Thank you so much
this will need at very minimum: New Sleeves and new pistons... and valve seating work...
at this point it would be better to get an engine from the junkyard
Maybe so
If so a Windsor 351 might fit
At least the small dog got the first Vainia ..... Good show man. I am in South Africa and recently took a friend to go start a 1 year standing 1976 Mercedes 230 123 series ge got for free from hie grand parents. Got a taste of what you are doing on a much smaller scale though. I think You, Pudding and Mortsky are teh guys to follow!
That’s awesome thank you
I'm all in with Ralphy's idea: set it on fire! If it don't come loose, you (and we) at least have an awesome bonfire 🙂 Admire your persistence and the way you fixed this as a family. And what a glorious moment for Ralphy breaking that thing loose.
Yes couldn’t believe Ralphie did it .. thanks for watching
Really enjoyed watching your video! Took a family effort to get that motor loose! A memory Ralphie will never forget his entire life! That 289 was a good motor for Ford. Looking at that bore, I would say pull the block, bore it out, new pistons, rings. Those were great cars so worth the effort. Some other nice projects going on there also so will check back!
Not bad bro. Not bad at all.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude Sure thing. You're welcome.
So enjoy seeing the family work together!!! Keep up the good work! Ralphie Power!!!
Thank you
Ralph is quite capable of doing this job if he had any idea of what you are doing
True
Great job Ralphie 👍👍,. He gave it the right ooga,dooga!!!
That’s right
Why not put the 5.0 from the fairmont in the wagon!
It might end up there
