- In this episode we finally figure out what the hell that weird gauge and recreate it. Then after a late night search on social media we come across a motor and the hot rod gods deliver a suprise! And finally we get everything blasted and ready for some fine tuning! If you like our content please SUBSCRIBE, LINK, COMMENT AND SHARE!
Loving this build and the attention to the details. Literally cannot get enough of this and anxiously awaiting each video and the final product.
Thanks man for showing love much appreciate you watching and the support!
Enjoyed!!!!
Excellent, P!! Another fantastic video ...thank you for bringing us all along on your build...too cool!!
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching..
Blown head gasket will essentially steam clean the dome of the piston which would explain why one piston had no carbon. Nice score on the motor.
At least a new cam/lifters and oil pump.
Exciting build, following every stage eagerly.
😎😎
The more I dug into it the better it became.. hah the cam and lifters are super nice as well.. It was in a boat so it wasn't like it ran a bunch maybe couple hours here and there on a lake.. so i'm not going to spend any time or money on it.. I'll run it till it breaks then get it rebuilt :D haha THanks for watching!
I’m sure you know Pierro but I just finished a great article about the cookie t. Mr Kagle and the babysitter R&C august 56 pg 48. Amazing history to this bad A hot rod, I’m so stoked you’re documenting the build. Thank you!!!
Yes great article! If you go to Tubi.com you can stream Car that ate my Brain 1 and it has the actual clips from the show..
You didn't patch the frame bottom!
That center section is beautiful !
I just stare at it at times haha
Hello. I picked up a 350, chrome pan nice valve covers. Told it was a runner. Pulled the pan and it was full of sludge. So a rebuild is on the cards. Keep at it love it so far. Tim
That’s how the first 2 motors I got before this one! Hahah 😂
That 283 has a big block oil pump. Should be an m77. They work well for higher volume
Nice good to know thanks!
Awesome! I look forward to these updates.
I bet you are pleased with the engine. It looks gorgious.
Yes! especially since I don’t have to spend time and money getting it all redone.. thank god! Ha
Did you remove the breather for the overdraft tube ? I didn't see it in the video
I did not remove the breather tube it didn’t come with one.. it came with legs a small possibly aftermarket breather in its place?
There should be small can like breather that goes in the valley under the intake it sticks in that vertical hole by the distributor hole . There is one bolt hole that holds it to the block . If it's not there oil with blow out the draft tube ! BAD !
Yesss I've been waiting very patiently for this.
Another great episode. I’m getting motivated again, just sold a project I didn’t need so back on the T it is.
Thanks dude for the support get on your shit already ha ha
@@MADFABRICATORSTV I got distracted lol
Love your body and frame unloading helper, these are the things we do to keep the project rolling. The clear plug wires are cool my dad had transparent red wires on his 30. The gauge looks awesome.
Major score on that SBC and the chrome goodies. Motor looked so cool all mocked up.
Yes! Getting there!
So good to see you done those small details... Because end of the day those are the ones that make it taste old. This car gonna be part of Hot-Rod history.
Thanks man for the good words! Figuring out what was used and the hunt for the right parts is what I love the most.. reverse engineering :)
I would have pulled out the rusted piston to check to make sure the rings where not stuck in the grooves.
Still might do that the engine hasn’t been assembled yet still need to add all the gaskets including the head gasket as well..
Great score on that motor, but I'd strongly recommend while it's on the stand, pop the main caps and rod ends to at least eyeball the bearings. Maybe even plasti-guage them while you're there. Coolant can cut up bearings real quick. (I dig the idea of not spending more than you have to, but might save you some hassle later ;)) Loving the series- continued good luck!
Thanks Kevin for the advise!!!
If you look hard enough through the Fel-Pro catalog, you will find a rubber oil pan gasket (they're blue). SOOOO much better than replacing the cork. They also have rubber valvecover gaskets, but with the aluminum 'vette covers, cork may not be a big deal. Just don't over-torque either gasket or you'll have a slow, annoying leak.
Its coming right along! That motor was a score!
Super score!!
I can't wait to see it all put together.
Loving the vids ......where did u get clear plug wires?
Thanks! See episode 2 :)
Sweet mate new to your channel and really look forward to watching more
Thanks and welcome!! Plenty to watch :)
@@MADFABRICATORSTV your welcome mate
Looks awesome dude 🤘🏼❤️
Thanks bud..
Loving the build and progress the rear axle bells have a spot that the bearing in the rear hub runs on that should not have been sandblasted
Thanks for the info The bearings have been installed and they fit great !
Hell yeah! 🤘🔥
Dig that chrome banjo
You could have dry transfers custom made. It's not terribly expensive and more durable than decals or vinyl.
Probably could of but didn’t have that option.
Where are you getting your parts chrome?
Not sure yet..
Love this series. Was the water pump pit on upside down on purpose?
Haha just noticed that in the video.. it’s has since been removed :)
Wasn't the engine in the original car yellow, or was that a different iteration than you're replicating?
i think the black is temporary.
The very first version had a yellow Flathead but was later changed to a 265.. see episode 1 😜
That motor been rebuild add oil to lifters and put it back together
That’s the plan. 🤙🏽
No carbon is a sign water was getting in that cylinder too.
I agree.. but it was on the opposite side that didn’t seem to have a blown gasket but maybe it blew both?? 🤷🏼♂️
@@MADFABRICATORSTV Maybe, just put a close eye on it. I am enjoying the build!!
It's not a Corvette engine. Corvettes have adjustable rockers and solid tappets.
According to the numbers on the block I searched and came up 1957 283 corvette on several pages and GM codes..
Like:
The casting date of G17 translates to July 1, 1957. Since the casting date ends in 7 (and not 57), that makes it a Flint built engine----------which is where Corvette engines were built. Another plus.
The stamped F703GC translates to Flint, July 3 (I would have to look up the GC, but I'm sure that's a pass car code) ASSEMBLY date. So, this would be a correct 283 for any Corvette built mid-July through the end of 57 production.
Maybe it is maybe it isn’t but I’m leaning to it is..
Water probably came in the exhaust when sitting
Don’t think so.. sat in a garage.
