How to get your son to clean out from underneath your deck 101: Mur: I'm pretty sure there's an Isky cam shaft and built camel hump heads under there.

You have the best dad, a free motor under the house, now that is cool. Excellent pack rat instincts, I see where you get it. I have had motors in the house and motor cycles in the house years ago but not a motor under a house. Enjoy him while he is here, I miss my dad every day.
Lol ❤❤ I laughed so hard during this😂😂😂 At 14 years old my best friends dad had a junk yard that I bought a 283 and power glide from for my first project. At one time in my first garage I had 13 small blocks , cranks and heads , would have guys over looking for parts all the time. Also many transmissions, manual and auto and rear ends , I learned to build them all , making my own fixtures and tools along the way. My dad wouldn’t allow anything at home.
Mur has a nice place there. It's fun to watch the two of you together. See if you can get some pics of Mur when he was your age. That might be fun to see.
Dan try soaking the pistons and rods in a plastic pail filled with cleaning vinegar and Dawn dish soap. A couple of days soaking should remove the corrosion without damaging the aluminum pistons.
Careful with vinegar. You gotta monitor the soak---I destroyed a set of heads soaking them for 3 days. They were bubbling away. I thought it was getting good and clean, lol. It was getting eaten! Now I check the vinegar bath and rinse and see how things are going. No more than 12 hours is my rule.
Can't use then anyway, the block will not stay standard unless it had really low use and the cylinders are barely flash rusted. The rods look stock, which all sbc rods were forged. Even if they are the pink rods you can buy decent aftermarket 4340 rods for a few hundred bucks.
Holy crap. So that's your Dad? He was my power mechanics teacher in high school. As I recall, he stuffed a Chevy V8 in a Volvo wagon at the time. What ever happened to that?
@@patcaza6166 I agree. Guessing from the plate that was in the garage it was a 1972. I also remember that it had no exhaust, open heads/manifolds. It got everyone's attention when it was brought into the shop at the end of the day.
DUDE DAN, I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD WHEN YOUR DAD CAME IN WITH THE LEAF 🌿 BLOWER RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, SO FRIGGIN HILARIOUS 😂 😅 🤣 😆!!! Um, excuse me......brrrr next to your ear 👂, so funny! Plus, he thinks he's helping out, God bless him. I was rollin for sure gasping for air. Thanks for the fun 👍.
LOL I love it guys! Last time I went over to my Dad's I was in the old shed and found all sorts of things of mine I'd forgotten about! And it was all well cared for by the mice, spiders and other caretakers LOL!
👍My Dads place in PA is almost same thing. Old GOOD stuff stored everywhere. Tons of NOS everything. Mostly wrapped up in protective blankets & thick furniture moving pads. From switches, relays, engines to NOS 1955 Chevy, OLDS, Ford & NASH stuff. Along w/ the covered cars. He won’t sell a thing & I don’t blame him. He’s 82 now & time is catching up w/ him. I’m not looking forward to the day I’m forced to go through it all but lots of folks out there in the Hot Rod world are gonna have fits over it. 👍
I thought Dan was the King Hoarder, now we know where he gets it! 😂😂😂 Love you guys. Mur… you’re priceless. Good move to have Dan clean out under the deck for you.
@@Iamthestig42069 Because the “doing math” part isn’t the only part of building an engine…it’s more about the way Dan would go about it, problem solving and entertainment value
Hello Dan... I hope y'all made it home safe and sound... From Mississippi Cruisin the coast event... It was nice meeting you guy's... Don. With Rat Rod Bob...
You got good bones to start with. That motor is no joke. They got a lot more nickel the old blocks than they have today. I think it would be a great idea for you to build that motor on one of your shows.
Dan I applaud your love for old school tech and hot rods…but if you want more jam…6L LS, cam/springs, gap the rings and slap on a turbo…you will love it and will never look back.
If the block and crank are good build it with aftermarket 6.00” connecting rods and forged pistons; add a spin balance. Remember when you cam the engine to actually make power at 7000 rpms it’s going to be more challenging to drive for normal street use.
The best part is, I'm probably close to Mur's age, and my Dad was STILL doing that stuff to me into his 90s. LOL, I'm from a long line of pack.rats too
I've got an old hot rod 69 Camaro engine that's got .100 dome TRW forged pistons , an Isky cam with a flat lobe and heads that dirt track guys are required to use . 4-bolt block thats .030 over . Good engine to build . Old style hot rod stuff that's worth using . Hope all of your stuff cleans up good enough to use . High winding small blocks are Killers . Great video .
Good luck Danni you have seen your future, Mur you definitely put your mark on Dan , two peas in a pod. You both see the value in stuff, DD Speed shop has become my favorite channel. Please don't judge me 😂
When you said squirrel I lost it lol my thought reflected back when you tore your pants at your dad's place I thought maybe that squirrel was collecting nuts for winter storage 😂
Dan no no no ! Sure you can add a little something to the nomad motor but don't spend too much. Your focus on going fast now should be the Nova, yes the Nova! Come on Dan a high horsepower small block with a gearstar transmission behind it and let's have some real fun. 😀👍👍👍🙋
If that is a true LT-1 350, you need to find those heads! I had a 70 Chevelle Malibu back in 1980-81 that I dropped a legit 350/370HP Corvette motor in. Factory specifications were steel crank, 11 to 1 pistons, four bolt main, 2.02/1.60 heads with screw in studs and guide plates and the camshaft from the factory was about a .465 lift solid lifter. The motor was wore out when I got it, but it ran. I just had to keep some extra spark plugs as the number one cylinder would occasionally oil fail the plug. Good luck! If nothing else, research the casting number, and if the serial number is still stamped on the block, it might be worth something to a restoration expert.
Little fun factoid: In the 1980's BMW sourced and used old RUSTY M10 shortblocks for building their F1 racing engines: 1.5Liter, inline4 16valve, huge turbo, 1200hp in qualifying trim. Those old rusted M10 blocks were said to have no residual stress in the castings and that's why they were supposed to be better as a basis for building a new engine. Or so the old lore goes. Moral of the story: if that block is not cracked it might still make a great engine.
That kind of reminds me of my hoarding engine block I have maybe 50 or more. Small block Chevys and big block Chevys from 283 all the way up to 454 and everything in between. Sometimes I surprise myself when I find one I'm doing one now I stashed away years ago a stroker 383. LOL
Dan if that block is good you have scoured a diamond in the rough. A std. bore 4 bolt 350 with a steel crank. Most people would say junk ....but no "Old School Gold." If it was mine I would put that sucker back together with new Aluminum heads. And make a killer street engine.
Find yourself a large journal 66 327 engine. You know, the ones that came with flat top 10½to1 comp. Put yourself a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads on there. Port match the heads to your intake of choosing, run a 780 cfm Holley carb, get a cam with 495 lift and a 292 duration. On your headers, run a 12 to 14 inch collector extensions and a 3 inch exhaust with free flow mufflers. Oh, if you remember, get a 2 inch carb spacer. New, heavy duty valve springs, because y'all want a high reving engine, make sure to balance everything that bolts to the crankshaft, even the flywheel. If you want even higher revs, roller tip rockers-1.5 ratio AWW, SCREW IT! Get a 6.0 LS and stick a cam in it!😮😂😅
I heard a story about a 70 or 71 Hemi Challenger that was wrecked in the 70s & sat in a backyard in western Washington until it was a completely rusted out pile of junk. The drivetrain was pulled shortly after the accident & the complete low mile 426 Hemi engine was dunked in a 55 gallon barrel of oil. Legend is its still out there somewhere inside that barrel, in perfect condition.
at least the oil pan had a baffle in it. those heads may have been 186 castings. do you or your dad ever fish that river in his back yard???? awesome view. peace
These old parts are like gold to us hot rodders. As long as the block isn't cracked that's golden and if those are "X" or pink rods as we used to call them definitely try and reuse them. Have them bushed for floating pins with new forged dome pistons. Add a big cam and a set of aluminum cylinder heads and a tunnel ram with twin holleys. Oh my!!
@@tomhutchins1046 I had a 78 Camaro with a built engine just like described and ran it on 93 octane with no issues providing they have 93 octane in Canada. With the right ignition system and timing it shouldn't be a problem.
@@blownmouse I call those Billy bob story's. me and uncle bob built a 283 chevy in the barn out of john deer tractor parts drunk on moon shine its a running 10,000 RPM all day long it was a running son of a bitch. Those pistons with a 64cc on a 350 is about 12.5 to one. Your dreaming. Oh and pre ignition has nothing to do with timing. Its the fuel going off all by itself before the spark.. See diesel. Higher octane fuels actually have less BTU's than lower octane fuels the higher octane fuel is just more stable. If you are really getting away with it it means you dont know how to calculate compression ratio's or your ring seal is terrible, Or you have leaky valves, or you have a large overlap cam that is bleeding compression off at lower rpms. Higher overlap cams will eventually build volumetric efficiency at higher RPMs and then the engine will grenade due to Pre ignition. Of coarse if you like most you have a great big cam and a poor combination of other factors so you never do get the cylinder pressures at high RPM so you just make noise. The comment on timing gave you away from the start. If you can run 12 -12.5 on 93 octane Detroit car makers want to talk to you your special
Lots of people complain about piston slap after installing forged pistons . You'll notice looking at the wrist pen bosses are center of the piston ,cast pistons are off center to eliminate piston slap. Cast piston cause drag in the cylinder.
LOL those are Chevy Forged TRW 11 to 1 TRW 1970 LT-1 rated at 360 horsepower: Factory Dome Pistons . I need 2 of those to make a complete set for my motor lol

How to get your son to clean out from underneath your deck 101:
Mur: I'm pretty sure there's an Isky cam shaft and built camel hump heads under there.
Dan: * Shakes head and goes treasure hunting*
Mur: "pretty sure I have some Wiseco pistons in the attic too"
Lol this should be a pretty fun build. Thanks for the content Dan.
He got me good....
Hopefully no brown recluse spider bites from under the deck and crawl space but a 4 bolt stock bore block might be worth some rotting flesh lol.
I personally love engine building content, cant imagine an enthusiast who isnt at some level, its the heart and soul of what keeps our passions and dreams of helping rotate the earth and turnin rubber into smoke alive!
I do as well. I have built a few motors over the years but I'm never doing it again.
Great time with your dad not replaceable very cool you should spend time with parents will miss them some day
You have the best dad, a free motor under the house, now that is cool. Excellent pack rat instincts, I see where you get it. I have had motors in the house and motor cycles in the house years ago but not a motor under a house. Enjoy him while he is here, I miss my dad every day.
That's a rare and hard to find motor, built one year, solid lifter cam, factory, good find Dan
My 71 Z28 had double hump angle plug heads. I heard someone mention shifter parts, is there an M22 under there somewhere ??
Bonus points for the Von Dutch T shirt!
LOL, us old guys gotta stick together!
Unfortunately ruined by the explosion of clueless kids in the 2000s who wore Von Dutch without any idea who he was.
Lol ❤❤

It's amazing what you can find when you have lived in the same place for 30 to 40 years.
LTl had 11:1 pistons and a solid cam. If those pistons are forged, they can be saved!
As I recall they were rated at 370HP. I had one in stock trim in a 70 Chevelle. It was definitely s ripper.
Saved for what???? what's the trick to getting off the pins???
Murr must be loving this!!! Keep going, it's just a little further back! 😆
The 350-370hp heads are worth finding!
Man, your Dad's house 🏡 is cool, you grew up lucky!!! Thanks for the video Dan & Dan's Dad!!!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but soda blasting can get the corrosion off aluminum without putting it more. Just a thought.
Mur has a nice place there. It's fun to watch the two of you together. See if you can get some pics of Mur when he was your age. That might be fun to see.
Dan try soaking the pistons and rods in a plastic pail filled with cleaning vinegar and Dawn dish soap. A couple of days soaking should remove the corrosion without damaging the aluminum pistons.

i did that did not like how the pistons came out
Careful with vinegar. You gotta monitor the soak---I destroyed a set of heads soaking them for 3 days. They were bubbling away. I thought it was getting good and clean, lol. It was getting eaten!

Boil them the aluminum will expand faster then the steel pins

Be sure all the oil passages and gallies are derusted very well.
Why would building a motor be bad content? I’m sure your viewers would love to see you do another one!
Watching people do math isn’t exciting content for the majority of the population
@@Iamthestig42069 Because the “doing math” part isn’t the only part of building an engine…it’s more about the way Dan would go about it, problem solving and entertainment value
I agree with Dan to an extent. Bu I believe it’s possible to show the broad strokes- don’t get too much into the weeds and people will tune in.
@@Iamthestig42069watching Dan struggle with math is good content
Unfortunately it would be a slow process due to machine work and waiting on parts. Kills the flow
Your best bet for those valve covers and the intake is to get them vapor honed, that way they won't be ruined as happens with sand blasting.
Hello Dan... I hope y'all made it home safe and sound... From Mississippi
Cruisin the coast event... It was nice meeting you guy's... Don. With Rat Rod Bob...
GREAT CONTENT!! PORCH FINDS LOL!!! BRING THAT CHEVY BACK TO LIFE BROTHER ✌️
always nice to see stuff hidden away getting it's chance to shine hopefully it's a great foundation with it's 4 bolt mains
You got good bones to start with. That motor is no joke. They got a lot more nickel the old blocks than they have today. I think it would be a great idea for you to build that motor on one of your shows.
Definitely worth checking it out to see what’s good. Could make a good engine out of it. 👍😎✌️
Back in the day we used to throw rusty cranks in the shotblaster. 10 mins and they were ready for rifle wire brushed, grind, polish and cleaned:)
I’ve built a few motors, and hope to do more soon. But they do create good content. It’s all in the presenter! You got this.
Another Dan original catch phrase. “Good as used “. ❤
I sure hope you find the heads man. I am thinking that block is good. Your dad is cool.
Lucky guy, having a Dad like that.
The Hunt for Mur's Red Motor!! Too funny. It will be interesting to see what can be saved!! Cheers!! 😎
That guy never stopped talking, amazing ...
Dan I applaud your love for old school tech and hot rods…but if you want more jam…6L LS, cam/springs, gap the rings and slap on a turbo…you will love it and will never look back.

Just once...
There was a tree ?
A pole ?😂

Thanks so much!

Send that power saw to Buckin Billy Ray!
Good luck Danni you have seen your future, Mur you definitely put your mark on Dan , two peas in a pod. You both see the value in stuff, DD Speed shop has become my favorite channel. Please don't judge me 😂
so cool your dad gave you your inheritance early, my dad is leaving me golf clubs, I don't do golf, hurray,
Love dad's Von Dutch shirt! Memories.
Let the build begin for the "Porch Motor"! driving down the road with the skid loader and engine block....priceless!
Run a hone down the bores, soak the pistons in hot tranny fluid, wire wheel the bolts, etc, and put it together!
Looking forward to see what goes on with that engine.
Looking forward to seeing this block built up!! Nomad!!! 🇨🇦🇺🇲💯🇨🇦
When you said squirrel I lost it lol my thought reflected back when you tore your pants at your dad's place I thought maybe that squirrel was collecting nuts for winter storage 😂
"I want more jam!" Now, if that isn't a DD Speed Shop t-shirt, I don't know what is.
Dan no no no ! Sure you can add a little something to the nomad motor but don't spend too much. Your focus on going fast now should be the Nova, yes the Nova! Come on Dan a high horsepower small block with a gearstar transmission behind it and let's have some real fun. 😀👍👍👍🙋
Boy you sure must have got some looks hauling it on the Bobcat.
Reminds me of my uncle storing all kinds of old car parts “ stuff they don’t make anymore” as he would say
The Nomad is done! Build it for the Camaro!
All the way in Florida, I can relate we have already been here for the wheel's!😂 Love the DD Speed Shop!

Those are forged trw pistons. I had a few of these engines growing up and they all made great power with the old fuelie heads.
Same pistons in my car- pings a bit but once it gets past that it gets along pretty well.
That was a good engine back in the day. You can save it
The block & rods yes (if the block is not cracked, remember we are talking Canada winters.)
Is there anyway we can hear more about the lemans you wrecked , would be great if mer could tell it 😅 please
That engine would be better suited for one of the Camaro's that you have been neglecting.
U wanna buy em and save em?
If they were 69's I'd buy them!
