After building this 74 model 360 LA Mopar engine out of our Dodge Motorhome 2 weeks ago and melting 4 pistons, a head gasket, and a cylinder head in 35 seconds we are back to try to re-build this engine with better parts and try and make it to Holley MoParty in less than a week. Can we get it done in time while also making some upgrades like forged pistons, and aluminum heads? Lets find out.

you can buy those springs a advance auto parts in the help section, i run the blue springs
ah I see lol SOLDERSTICK WATERPROOF SOLDER WIRE CONNECTOR KIT
Did you take my advice with the flat tops to take a little compression out of it?
You really should gone with a windage tray which will keep excess oil of the crank and prevent foaming. Next a good oil pan with baffling in it for drag racing. Canton would be a good source for it through Jegs.
Don't forget a good distributor bud don't want to take risk detonation or failure you mentioned it in previous video
If you’re not subscribed please do. This family works hard to produce these very entertaining videos for us to watch😊
Best family on TH-cam very happy I did
Subscribed and a new member. I met them back in June at the Car Show that Wawa won first place.
You know I am
Smash that like button! Share these videos with everyone you know!
Excellentè! Next instalment you'll have a hot tank👌
It’s nice to see the engine being built again
Thanks
Best Friday ever!!! Thank you all for sharing!!!😊❤
The way Josh treats his family and animals screams what kind of person he is. The country needs more of these dads.
The entire world is in dire need of more Josh's and family... Great values there even if im not the religious type.
im tickled pink at all the videos lately!!! i wish you guys were a show on tv id watch everytime! we need more family oriented good fun on tv
Thank you
Yesss!!!, you guys are Amazing!!!
I enjoy watching the channel very much.... it's real people doing real things. It's not staged and is really comfortable and wholesome viewing. I just don't watch 'TV' anymore. It's all so fake. ❤
To quote Step brothers..”Even better..we got them on youtube”
I am so glad that y'all could get that 360 torn back down and rebuilt in such a small amount of time. That being said, it sounds SO mean with that cam and fuel! Good build Josh and fam!
Thank you 😊
@@Sleeperdude Really Josh, y'all got that thing torn down, rebuilt it, and recovered from it no problem. I was really surprised in the quick turnaround.
I'm and old guy who wishes he could do a lot of the builds, run and starts like all of you youtubers. Due to health issues and life in general I just have to enjoy watching your videos instead. Your family never fails to entertain and brighten my day. Thanks to every one of you.
Fixing the distributor solved a lot of your issues I’m glad it’s firing on all cylinders. I had no idea that was happening. Discount Darrel is right always get the biggest trans cooler with fan you can get. Good luck at Moparty.
Yes thank you
Squeezy's got a real talent of doing painting her artwork is awesome.
For sure
@@Sleeperdude she’s a great artist ♥️
@@Sleeperdude Squeezy should do some kind of graphic design for the RV should you ever get that thing finished and ready to rock and roll, and omg do those things roll on the road lol
I'm so happy someone notices how amazing Squeezy;s paintings are. The one reminded me of the girl off the Morton salt box.
Squeezy is lucky she has parents that let's her do her own thing Even if it's not there TH-cam business. On the other hand Ralph and wawa seem to really love the cars
The look on your face when your burning the tires is epic
Thank you
If you ever do a show car, have Squeeze paint it! She’s getting better and better! How about a special edition t-shirt designed by Squeeze??
Josh, Tosh is a keeper! Any wife that says repeatedly to buy a “new one” is unique and pure gold! Men everywhere are saying “man, why does my wife not let me buy stuff to make my toys go well”.
Great wife, great kids, great animals, you are the most blessed man alive!!
That cylinder not firing could also be where the alcohol in the oil is coming from. With it not firing that fuel is dumping
It lives!!! Congratulations!!! Good luck!!!😊
Yes it does! Thank you
You should have squeezie sell her art work along with your merch!!
yes i agree they should put it on shirts, bandanas, etc. I think they would sell tons...
Definitely!
I agree with you, she is very talented and creative.
Great idea, I'd be proud to hang an original Sqeezie painting on my wall..
Some woukd make for aome nice t shirt designs with her name at the bottom. Keep it up squeeze
I watch a lot of automotive, TH-cam. I have come to the realization that you’re probably the most thorough, with explaining things. Thank you for that. it’s a good combination of entertainment, value, and educational.
Thank you I try to teach people
I was having anxiety over not having a video posted for the last few days about this situation. Yes I've been subscribed for a couple years now.
I enjoyed their family outing in the old station wagon. But this is one of the coolest Motors I've ever seen.
I actually like alcohol Motors better than top fuel. They smell better for one. And they got that Crackle
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude
Oh fantastic. I'm so glad that you got a chance to read my comment. That means a lot to me.
BTW, I'll be getting one of your "whiskey dent" t-shirts soon.
We love watching you and your family and all the animals. Best channel out there and I agree with squeezes artwork. That would be awesome. She does an awesome job.
You guys are a hoot. The music for the sped up parts is my favorite lol. Good luck at you next burnout. May Hod continue to bless you all and keep you safe.
Thank you I’m glad you like it
That’s God not Hod lol 🤦🏻♀️
Serves you right for giving her a 1/2" torque wrench with 1/2-3/8" adapter on it‼️
You set her up for failure‼️😂😂😂
Its the Dream Team!
Yes
That was funny. As Tosh broke the extension I got a look at her shirt that said, It's just a little whiskey dent, I fell out of the chair laughing!!
That’s funny
I saw that. I hope that's for sale in their store. I've got to go check.
I was a machinist for 13 years before I served another apprenticeship for a tool and die maker for a combined 45 years at this point.
I want to know how a body guy knows so much about building motors!?
You have actually taught me a lot of things and I have been a gearhead all my life.
Currently I have a 2019 Dodge Challenger Shaker 6 speed manual and my daily is a 2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate L. Which I took on a 3900 mile vacation thru 12 states a couple of months ago. I gave $3600 dollars for it with 102000 miles on it. It now has 116000 miles. I went through it and did the same things you would have. You were the one who inspired the purchase and the vacation in it.
It got 24 mpg loaded to the gills! When I got back home in the driveway I had to put a new mass airflow sensor in it.
Keep up the great work!
You are a great guy and have a great family sir!
I feel like I don’t know nearly enough. I read every car magazine I could find as a kid and now in videos. I appreciate the compliment and I think it’s awesome you went on a big trip
Josh, you have convinced me that you could do anything you put your mind to do!@@Sleeperdude
Impeccable!
Be cool to have Squeezy paint some big eyes on Grem where the headlights should be.
Love to to see a "Painting with Squeezy Ross" vid on the sleeperdude2 channel! 👍and we need a WaWa bug video!
Yeah that would be cool
I love it when you put out a new video. I used to work on old cars and loved it but I have been disabled for about 10 years and can't do it anymore so I get to enjoy it through you all.
Love how the kids are so involved in being there to put together a motor that's rare to get a family involved in something like that ❤
Thank you
@@Sleeperdudei will love to show you my modded 2.4 Nissan engine
I'm laying down to watch an hour and a half of the best channel on TH-cam featuring the greatest family on TH-cam!!!! I'll comment again when I've finished. Come on!!!!
Thank you!!!!
One thing for sure.😃 There's no chance of dozin off to sleep during a SLEEPERDUDE video!
Watchin engines being built with go faster goodies never gets old and it’s just a plus to watch the engine being put in and listen to’em sing the song of my people
I enjoy it to
Best way to end the work week with sleeperdude !
Man, I absolutely love you guys. #1 TH-cam channel. Just keep it up and you guys will catch the wave and be sailing. Nothing like your wholesome family content doing what you love. I wish I could pick up, move, and be y’all’s neighbor to just be a part of it. There’s no dream of mine bigger than just doing exactly what you have accomplished, being able to do what you love everyday and have a wonderful family and great animal content lol. Best wishes
Thank you I’m glad you like it. I am very blessed
I ordered 2 shirts and a sticker and they were delivered today.
You guys are my favorite channel,
As entertaining as you and your family are I would watch any video that you guys put out.
Awesome thank you
Great job! Hopefully she blows the tires up! We love the subtitles for mom too!!!
I have really enjoyed the videos, I come from a mechanic family, but I haven't touched a wrench in months because I've been in college, but yalls videos really hit close to home for me. especially the farm animals getting in the way while im working on my 57 Ford! y'all are awesome!
Back together,,,all good!!
Mom's got the guns! She's bustin those sockets!
I know right
sounds a lot better for sure .
I think so too
You should get "Squeezy" to paint eyes for the empty headlight sockets
Hands down .Your entire family is absolutely beautiful.
Great start to the weekend! Thanks Josh and Fam!
WaWa and Ralphie are going to be the Greatest Gearheads..Good Job Dad and Mom..Keeping them out of trouble 🎉
Thank you we try
Love you guys I watch all your vids and the other channel too. I get so excited for your vids when they drop keep up the good job guys. I live about 2 hours from Bristol in wytheville Virginia hopefully I'll get to come to an event but I'm in a wheelchair and it's hard for me to get anywhere I can drive but don't have a car right now I hope to one day find me a 67 to 72 dodge dart swinger it's my favorite car so hopefully I get to meet the family one day and have a Vienna sausage and an RC cola with y'all...
Ok thank you
Your family is at that perfect point where everyone is in sync and work together like a tight unit!!!
Keep up everything your doing!!!
We love seeing such a loving family working together and taking care of each other!!!
Thank you for your content. With all that's going on in the world, it's so nice to watch the Sleeperdude Crew working on various projects. With bonuses thrown in now and then that make me laugh. Like Ralphie almost burning your crumb snatchers.😂
Thank you for your generosity we really appreciate it. I’m glad you like it
Love how the whole family is involved in rebuilding the engine. That's how it's done teach them young so they are independent when they get older and know how to do stuff on there own. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Incredible parenting. Squeezie is supported and encouraged in her talents and interests, even though they’re quite different in some ways than the rest of the family or the overall subject of these videos. How easy it would be for a creative free spirit like her to be desperately unhappy in a family that tried to make her fit into some predetermined role. Instead, she thrives. How WONDERFUL!
Thanks!
Thank you for your generosity once again
Good idea to check the temp of each cylinder header pipe with a laser temp. gun--you will know for sure all 8 are firing right !! Sounds real healthy !!
Yeah thank you
Looked to be shutting raw fuel on number 8 exhaust on start up. Be safe and God bless you all, in JESUS NAME !!!!! Eddy
Heavens yeah! Let's go! It's sleeperdude family time!
Sweet! Sounds even better this time! If you get a chance, crank it up after dark. Years ago my zoomies would have a couple feet of blue flames on fuel and it looked awesome! (Can't see alcohol burning in the daylight)
GOOD LUCK Josh!!! The old girl sounds great.
Thank you
Y’all need to put Squeezy’s art on some tshirts and call them “Squeezy Approved” or something.
Auto shop teacher supreme,has the knowledge and the patience to teach and work with others.most importantly able to communicate in a understandable uncondescending way
Engine sounds Great
Perfect timing thanks sleeper mat uk
Thank you
It sure did sound much better after you fixed the distributor. Love your channel.
I grew up helping my uncle in his machine shop building race engines and he always recommended to his customers who ran alcohol to also have a gas carburetor to stick on it after an event and to run the motor for a minute on gas before parking it. That cleared the alcohol and moisture from it out of the heads and cylinders keeping the bores from rusting while it sits. Also, use a dead blow hammer and one quick, hard hit when installing pistons to keep the rings from finding a seam. Keep up the awesome content!
Yes!! I have heard that too
I think it’s just the little hammer taps making the ring compressor move around causing the rings to find gaps and get caught. Just needs one quick hard hit to avoid shifting.
Josh your next move if need be on that block should be a stroker motor just a little 400 cubic inch sleeper.
I appreciate the fact that your whole family is involved in what you do, I lost my older son on the 2nd of October this year, he is a gear head like me and was in my shop several times through out his 22 years of life, he suffered from seizures so bad he was not allowed to drive but enjoyed working on old cars
6:51 That was SO FUNNY !!! "eat it... " aaahahahahahahh🤣 - I love this kind of dry humor
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I see that all three of the lady's in the family has beautiful smiles starting with the number1 mom !
Respectfully always from Victor in Palmdale ca .
Great job y'all. Watched this episode on my tv with the surround sound turned up to 11. I could feel all thise goat stomps.
That’s great
Thank you for showing me your great work and your amazing family! If more families in America would follow your example, our country would be much better for it. Your videos remind me of getting to work with my Dad like Ralphie is with you. We rebuilt the engine in my first car, the 455 big block in my 1975 Hurst/Olds. That was over 40 years ago when I was about 13 years old. I miss him so much, but you’re a great reminder of what it was like. Keep up the great work! I feel like you are a friend when I watch your videos.
Grim would make an awesome gasser
Just discovered your family. Your family is awesome down to earth folks!
Thank you
THE SQUEEZY MOBILE for 250k Subs
You and your family put out the best videos/content and it is an absolute joy to watch. Your success is so deserved and as you creep up closer to the 250k mark, just throwing this out there, I think we'd all love to see a Squeezy Mobile to mark that milestone. Her artistic talent and y'alls hard work would be awesome project. Either way, keep up the good work and God Bless!
So as far as family's go.. this real as it gets. It's gotta be tough have a passionate dad . Derek does it in his pace type of way. Thank God we all different else we be robots.
For sure thanks
Josh has so much knowledge and expertise doing it all, yep
I don’t know about that 🤣
My husband and I love watching your channel. Your knowledge, along with the faith your family has. So.. great how all family is involved. Including the four legged ones!💞😇
As a Mopar guy I can't believe it ran at all with the state that distributor was in.
I know right
See... we guys will clean ALL DAY LONG! I mean... REALLY clean... SO CLEAN we could store our engine parts in a surgical room.... and then we come home to where our wife says she's been "cleaning" the house... We just have to shake our heads... When it's time for ME to clean the house - I mean... watch out... because if we use the same level of intensity for our house that we do for our engine rebuilds... you know every fixture is coming apart, going thru a parts cleaner or an ultra sonic cleaner... even the switch plates are removed and scoured... and then we sit back and say - now THAT'S cleaning. IDK about the rest of y'all... but most of the time I feel like I'm best served keeping my mouth shut about all this stuff... lol.
FACTS
Wow! I actually think the engine sounds way better after the rebuild. Nicely done. Looks great painted too!
Instead of holding it to the floor you need to just feather the gas pedal and keeping a certain RPM goodnight redline the whole time
Hell yes!! Just got off a 14hr day and home to a plate of chitlins and a sleeperdude and fam video
Awesome!!
Squeezy is a natural artist. I hope you continue to support her creativity because those paintings show a great eye for perspective, composition, color, proportion and I'm totally impressed with her work. Please encourage her to make a career out of it. I think she could really do well even if she only worked in design for an ad company or a clothing design etc. something like that.
P.S. hang onto her stuff she's doing now because it might be very valuable someday if she is as good as I think she is. Who knows? Her work might be in a gallery someday.
One 100% agree 👍👍
It’s a Good Friday now.
Awesome
Josh that was an amazing video Squeezes paintings are amazing and beautiful and i enjoy watching your videos 😊
I see him doing a massive burnout inside the shed and the first thing that popped in my head was "dont you get paint on my floor!" LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
FACTS
Hay Josh doing the build by oneself creates wisdom. By using your head to hold them headers, you've in vented a new term called Boltie tasking. Good job !
Well, now that you've got some new parts for the rebuild. The engine
Yes
thats a great turn around repairing a car to get it ready for the next show great job
On the passenger side the exhaust pipe closest to the windshield was spitting out fuel I have a feeling that that cylinder might not be firing not at the end of this video yet so I hope he catches this before he takes off and destroys the engine
Man you are so lucky to have your two kids to be interested in working on the cars. The motor looks good
You should start making stickers of squeezies artwork
I like every video dont matter if i watch it all or 2 min of it. Good to see family's spending quality time together in this day.
You need to have a valve to create a vacuum leak to warm up the engine on alcohol so you don't milk the oil so quick
Ok thank you
Dude after you fixed the pick up in the dizzy, it was so much happier you could hear it immediately!!
who else’s thinks josh should include on the website when you purchase shirts to have the option to have it signed??
Yeah that would probably be cool
I thought about asking for it when i ordered a shirt, but said to myself "he is probably to busy", next time I'll ask for sure!
😂Send a check buddy. Sign that yo. Got a clue how busy they are$$$!!#@×÷%😅
Wish you guys luck in the Holley MoParty. Its deserved.
Thank you
Running a hotter plug is not the reason why you melted your pistons! Had to be detonation, prolonged detonation. You had to be running very lean, not enough fuel.
You are correct sir.
was thinking the same. If Josh had time to put the car on a dyno and dial it in, would likely help. They're just up to the wire on the build to get it to events.
She's back! It sounds better than ever! Great team effort to get it done so quickly, good luck at the competition!
Thank you
When does squeezy’s art channel start?
I love the intermission with the animals.
You should probably not stand on the throttle floor board next time ok thanks BigAl thanks I just stuck my sleeper dude station wagon sticker on the back window of my tow Mater tow truck thanks BigAl California ,,, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Awesome thank you
Josh, you'd make a great teacher for young people learning auto mechanics. Very informative. On a side note, glad to see that Big Mouth Bass is making some appearances and that everyone seems to be enjoying it. I knew that would be the perfect gift for you guys. PS Wife still doesn't have any class or sophistication, but I'm working on it. 😬 Gary and Robin, Ocala.
You all are more than ready for this. You're going to do great! That motor is impeccable! Wishing you all the best of luck.
Thank you
Great upgrade, you cant ever go wrong with Eldebrock. The engine soundas amazing. Granny goat stole the show this time, so funny.
Sounds KILLER once again Josh and SleeperDudes Great job getting it back together
Thank you
One thing I learned from a friend that worked with Smokey Yunick. When putting the pistons in use vegetable oil or a good Castor oil. The oil doesn't soak into the block. Smells like French fries on start up and brake in.
Ok thanks for the tip
Josh your quick wit one liners are priceless. I bet you spent many hours standing in the corner when you were a kid in school!!!
That motor sounds so good. The arcing spark plug wire.
Thank you
