Around 9 mins when she just sits ticking over is wonderfull. Love old Hemis, couldn't care less if this is not much more than an anchor in power to weight/displacement in modern times, they sound epic and the build quality for the era was outstanding. A few smart mods and you can still extract cracking torque numbers from an enigne platform that was cast over 60 years ago, torque that is everywhere the engine can rev to. 10/10 Brent, love it.
Yes! I'd be keen on one in this condition for my Toyota. Good size with the right carburetion will make for good economy from the 4.5 litres of Hemi engine.
Love seeing an engine that has not run in years come alive again. It amazing to see Brent do with one hand what most people can not do with two hands. Great video with different projects in the oven keeps us watching.
Great vintage hot rod motor. I love it. Brent, you are a master fabricator. Fascinating to watch you work. You know that. I telling everyone else what a master you are. Thank You. 👍😎🍺 Cheers !
I owned a 55 Dodge for about a week years ago.Purchased it for $50 and sold it for $750 to a guy who only wanted the hemi. Great motor wish I had it now.
I'm fairly sure 318/360 and a lot of other later model small block bellhousings fit that block. Might be easier to adapt a trans. Like that mopar 4 speed would be a bolt on. But I'm old, might be forgetting some details ;)
A lot of LA V8 engine parts will fit the 270,325,Red ram etc .Bearings etc. I have made little adaptors to run LA (273-360 engines) oil pumps etc. I think the first Deuce coupe to run 140 MPH on the salt was Dodge hemi powered.
Hey Brent, I just watched Nicks Garage. You may enjoy this video. He is bringing an old 54 Hemi back to life. “Tiny old hemi- first generation”. Enjoy.
This guy would make a great shop teacher it seems like he is long on patience and doesn't lose his temper and with kids that's a good combination 😊.I wonder how he would hold up on a sixty day warranty.Those little darlings would definitely test on him. Anyway another good video.
I love it my northern friend. Been watching you for a while now and thought I would chime in and say hello!! Got you on my list of people to watch. Have a great night
Very awesome job that little motor ran really good can’t wait until you make that adapter for the intake system..keep up the cool work and like always keep the wrenches on turnin and the tires on burnin..
Hi Halfess Kustoms man you're a mechanical genius ,,, by far the best auto show on YT,,,,,, i have been watching your videos with a passion for a long time ,,,,, rebuilds ie,,, Pontiac etc i have a passion for classic's up in Utah i had a classic sales pitch,,,, refurb's rebuilds you name it i did it haha but my god i wish you had been on our racing team,,, with you're tec know how we could have won every time trial on the Salt -Flats ,,, at Bonneville ,,,, love your chat during the videos (magic ) typical car man" love it,,,the best is all you're projects are every-day to you,, just get on n do it",,, oh your work shop is an Aladdin's Cave" mine was much the same ,, "open the doors first thing in a morning ,, and woof the smell of motor oil mixed with cellulose paint wonderful Ok i look forward to more vids my friend ,, thanks for the memory,,,,,,,, Edwin J Thompson,,,,Ed,,, Beverly Hills CA
That engine would look great in my coupe . Oil squrtin out of one hole ,fuel out of another and it still runs good. The starter sound is even pretty cool. Also I learned a long time ago not to use ether on an engine you care about.
If they can get past their video games they get interested in clothes and shoes. No wonder though when our culture and media teach us every day that we can do nothing as an individual.
love that repurposed shopping cart "jig" engine run stand. Now I'm asking myself ,,why didn't I think of that!, LOL, The little hemi is gonna be a nice engine ;)
I spent hours and hours in a skid steerer. Higher operating at high rpm saves wear and tear on pump. Makes for a bit of herby jerry but the more you operate the smoother you get.
Greetings from northen Sweden. That Hemi sounds so nice,, imagine the the blower on top of that 🤣 I was just thinking,, what the heck is a lovejoy? Here we call that a Hardy-Disc as far as I know. During my mechanics years that's all I heard them called. I guess you can't get the mechanic out of the person as I have just spent 3 hours on the fuel system on my sons - 67 Ford Transit,, he had to help out of course. Stay safe and take care.
That hemi ran good, you should put a lumpy cam in it with the other setup you are going to build for it and you'll probably have a nasty little motor which is cool 😁
to go electronic ignition on that , Is as simple as getting a 340 distributor , and dropping it in , I found that out years ago by just going that looks awful close , and trying it LOL
My bad back in the day my dad had a coupe with a flathead in it and when he first saw these hemis he was absolutely shocked he told me. He had put Blood Sweat and Tears into his flat head and this new Hemi made as much horsepower stock. He told me that he was a Ford guy through and through and couldn't bring himself the buying a new motor. He told me that Ardun heads were available but cost prohibited. His last project before he passed was a 29 Ford chopped channeled but still no Arden heads
I’m new to the channel and I really appreciate you video content. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge. Could you possibly do a video on building a sbc 350 when it presents itself?
Years ago , J.C. Whitney sold adapters and motor mount conversions for just about any car , and the Hemi being the overwhelming choice of the day..... hundreds of hot rods were built with them aboard. Watch all that loose fuel and vapor around that raw exhaust flame !!
Hell yeah I'm a Chevy guy myself, but you have to give it to thoes old mopar engineers it's amazing how simple it is and it sits there and idles like it shut off yesterday
I have the same 270 Hemi as yours and put a three speed all synchro trans on it from a late 70s Dodge 318. I just had to enlarge the hole in the bell, and drill and tap 4 holes. It was very easy to do. It will now accept the A833 four speed box as well. A Saginaw will not work. The input shaft is too short. You need a Mopar gearbox with the longer input shaft.
Hard to kill old mopar motors a friend called me said you need yo come down to the junk yard I just pulled a 60s car in got strange motor in it so I put biggest battery I had few test wire's and some gas and off I went got there popped the hood looked on drivers side of block and said how much he told me whipped the cash he said you ain't gonna start it I said Yel but you may want more worked on it hooked up power took a little while but it ran smooth no smoke he said ok what is it it was a 70 340 hp he laughed said really I said I will give you a little more $ he said no he was happy I no I was been great running motor been offered 3 times what I paid for it but no still have it keep up the great work stay safe stay healthy keep turning out hot rods
Hey Brent, I would like to have one of those old Hemi's for a future "Coupe" project, my bro inlaw has a 413 dodge wedge motor he wants me to come & get, might as well..do my own "start up"!! Geez Louis, I haven't heard that in years...when you mentioned the Love Joy I figured most won't know what that is, then you pictured it....great video!!!
Tune up with new wires plus cap also rotor also points with spark plugs , time change fix up motor also gaskets set even carb fix to then paint it! Also do engine oil plus filter too and transmission with to vechile add too!
you have way more tallent than i ever would and i built to blower boxes one for a dodge 426 hemi and one for a ford 302, that i put GM deisel blowers on. hardest part was tearing down and rebuilding both blowers in my neght classes that is also were i done all the surface planeing of the blower boxes i built
I've used the rag coupler off a steering system before with some good results.... they don't like oil and give up after a good soaking sometimes. Love seeing the old hemi's get rescued before turning into iron sinkers for pond fishing. I should know but just don't remember, did anyone ever use the hemi head design on their engine besides Chrysler as it buzzes my brain that there was. In american cars as I never got into the foreign scene. I also have used "saw gas" or two cycle mix to start them as that little bit of oil does make a difference at times. Can't complain about that one starting good as it did some fussing but soon as the valves got some oil on them and the seats nocked the carbon and spiders out they just love to run. I watched a first start on here and when it didn't run they did pull the heads off and found a dead mouse on top of a cylinder... I call "staged" on something like that if the top of the valves are still there. I can believe them coming out of the tailpipe. I may hate mice but suffering and dying on a cylinder head is just "how could it squeeze in there" and if he got in... why did he stay?? Sure has been cold but no snow to measure, got about a inch last night but don't expect much more to come. Have a good one Brent. I meant to mention that one of the other channels, don't remember the name of it but he has a truck called puddin and he mentioned your name and channel on being a good to go channel... I know thats not much but didn't think to mark it so I could forward that to you... I know that you like to thank people for getting the name and channel out there.
The Look on your face when it fired was priceless
Good boy! I like this boy attitude,if we have cellphones 20 years ago, like now, I will go to Canada and meet him, I buried some Engines in Florida.

Not only does it run, it runs well ... and idles ... with NO smoke. Amazing.
The joy of getting a engine running! Priceless!
I'm fairly sure 318/360 and a lot of other later model small block bellhousings fit that block. Might be easier to adapt a trans. Like that mopar 4 speed would be a bolt on. But I'm old, might be forgetting some details ;)
Fun seeing this. I put one of these engines into a 1937 Plymouth Business Coupe in 1970.
A lot of LA V8 engine parts will fit the 270,325,Red ram etc .Bearings etc. I have made little adaptors to run LA (273-360 engines) oil pumps etc. I think the first Deuce coupe to run 140 MPH on the salt was Dodge hemi powered.
This engine is older than my father but it runs better.

That oil line would have been a good laugh ! Cool old motor !
My 3 month old daughter and I luv watching ur videos!
thanks for d notification , u r helping a lot breaking d monotony of d pandemic. , GODBLESS U GUY.
The HEMI sounds awesome... glad it worked out.
Dang, that motor with the blower will be awesome! Good fix on the little bouncy scooper too!
Fantastic red ram! I’ll buy it!
You have amazing talent Brent. Nothing is ever a problem to you at all. Great to watch & learn. Billy J...... Australia
love how you can fix or build almost anything
Hemi sounds good!
Hard to believe that v-twin moves that thing! Amazing what hydraulics can do.
I love those old motors that was a awesome start up a nice little tune up she will be 🙂 👌 👍
Early hemi! Uber cool!
The T5 is common in the pilothouse upgrade. There is a ring and a pilot made for the swap. At least for the flatheads.
World's first Hemi powered shopping cart!!! Talk about a grocery getter....😉👍
I love it when a plan comes together.😉
That was my reaction once my Monte Carlo fired up after setting for 10 years An i loved the shopping cart engine cradle Awesome idea
I love it my northern friend. Been watching you for a while now and thought I would chime in and say hello!! Got you on my list of people to watch. Have a great night
Very awesome job that little motor ran really good can’t wait until you make that adapter for the intake system..keep up the cool work and like always keep the wrenches on turnin and the tires on burnin..
Gotta love those wake up calls and the hot carbon coming out.
There is nothing you cant get running , awesome ! love your videos /regards from Norway
Firing up the old hemi brings back high school auto shop. Love it!
Cool buddy that ole-270 purrs nice sweet
Red Ram ? Awesome to have one that's complete , do your MAGIC Brent
I know old shopping carts are fairly strong, but something tells me that early hemi is pushing the limits. Those things weighed a ton!
You're like Dr. Frankenstein, bringing dead things back to life!
What a kool street rod start.
Hi Halfess Kustoms
man you're a mechanical genius ,,, by far the best auto show on YT,,,,,, i have been watching your videos with a passion for a long time ,,,,, rebuilds ie,,, Pontiac etc
i have a passion for classic's up in Utah i had a classic sales pitch,,,, refurb's rebuilds you name it i did it haha
but my god i wish you had been on our racing team,,,
with you're tec know how we could have won every time trial
on the Salt -Flats ,,, at Bonneville ,,,,
love your chat during the videos (magic ) typical car man"
love it,,,the best is all you're projects are every-day to you,,
just get on n do it",,, oh your work shop is an Aladdin's Cave"
mine was much the same ,, "open the doors first thing in a morning ,, and woof the smell of motor oil mixed with cellulose paint wonderful
Ok i look forward to more vids my friend ,, thanks for the memory,,,,,,,, Edwin J Thompson,,,,Ed,,, Beverly Hills CA
That engine would look great in my coupe . Oil squrtin out of one hole ,fuel out of another and it still runs good. The starter sound is even pretty cool. Also I learned a long time ago not to use ether on an engine you care about.
A nice little powerplant for a future project
Great to see I'm not the only guy who has a C10 and also plays with old Hemi's. I have a '63 C10 SWB and a '53 DeSoto with the original 276 Hemi.
Great little hemi engine. Guess since it runs so well you can budget some speed parts. I’m anxious to see the intake that you build for it.
I thank the gods for guys like you. The young fellers are less and less interested in this stuff and more and more in clothes and shoes. Hans
If they can get past their video games they get interested in clothes and shoes. No wonder though when our culture and media teach us every day that we can do nothing as an individual.
Excellent video and got Bobcat loader fix up on leak plus bounce pump !
Always enjoy your videos, love what you do so I subscribed, thanks my friend from Oklahoma.
love that repurposed shopping cart "jig" engine run stand. Now I'm asking myself ,,why didn't I think of that!, LOL, The little hemi is gonna be a nice engine ;)
I spent hours and hours in a skid steerer. Higher operating at high rpm saves wear and tear on pump. Makes for a bit of herby jerry but the more you operate the smoother you get.
Greetings from northen Sweden.

Great job, what's next? I am going back to your old videos, all kinds of great stuff!
That hemi ran good, you should put a lumpy cam in it with the other setup you are going to build for it and you'll probably have a nasty little motor which is cool 😁
8:50 SHE'S ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!!! 💪🤙
Reminds me of the engines that were in the Chrysler Air Raid sirens. The were Hemis just like that.
to go electronic ignition on that , Is as simple as getting a 340 distributor , and dropping it in , I found that out years ago by just going that looks awful close , and trying it LOL
Lol I was about to say that a LA and poly dizzy are the same
My bad back in the day my dad had a coupe with a flathead in it and when he first saw these hemis he was absolutely shocked he told me.

That’s a nice little hemi ! Put it in some open hood hotrod in front of a manual transmission and maybe a 6 pack on top with zoomies !
New subscriber . Love the hemi . Along with a hemi i have my other favorite is a flathead ford whitch i own . Enjoying you channel
Hands down best music as well as automotive content and I love your grocery buggy
Blown hemi+studebaker =awesome hotrod

I love this Hemi sounds on slow motion !!!
Hard to kill old mopar motors a friend called me said you need yo come down to the junk yard I just pulled a 60s car in got strange motor in it so I put biggest battery I had few test wire's and some gas and off I went got there popped the hood looked on drivers side of block and said how much he told me whipped the cash he said you ain't gonna start it I said Yel but you may want more worked on it hooked up power took a little while but it ran smooth no smoke he said ok what is it it was a 70 340 hp he laughed said really I said I will give you a little more $ he said no he was happy I no I was been great running motor been offered 3 times what I paid for it but no still have it keep up the great work stay safe stay healthy keep turning out hot rods
and the baby hemi lives cool
You reminded me of a mechanic lighting off a top fuel dragster with all that fuel
How cool is an old hemi in a coupe? Love the gloop, gloop, gloop. haha.
Hey Brent, I would like to have one of those old Hemi's for a future "Coupe" project, my bro inlaw has a 413 dodge wedge motor he wants me to come & get, might as well..do my own "start up"!! Geez Louis, I haven't heard that in years...when you mentioned the Love Joy I figured most won't know what that is, then you pictured it....great video!!!
The year I was born and it looks in better condition!
Love the hemi, but that chevy fleetside behind you made my trousers tighter lol
Tune up with new wires plus cap also rotor also points with spark plugs , time change fix up motor also gaskets set even carb fix to then paint it! Also do engine oil plus filter too and transmission with to vechile add too!
That’s cool I always wanted one of those and a 348 and 409 Chevy engine.
Bubbles approved run stand...👍
Loved hearing that hemi!
Great video. I really enjoy the music you choose.
@ 9:37 it sounds EXACTLY like Christine pulling into Darnell's for the first time, and after she's been into mischief. :)
Wish I had an engine like that to put in my 51 M37.. awesome
I’d love to hear it! Hemi monster!😈
Good job! The ol girl runs damn good for doing nothing to it. Gotta agree with everbody else, The cool factor with an old Hemi is over the top!!!
Love the shopping cart engine cart! I need to make one of those, haha
Old hemis are so cool
Those old school Hemi s look gooooood !
you have way more tallent than i ever would and i built to blower boxes one for a dodge 426 hemi and one for a ford 302, that i put GM deisel blowers on. hardest part was tearing down and rebuilding both blowers in my neght classes that is also were i done all the surface planeing of the blower boxes i built
Love the sound!
Old girl sounds great awesome 👍😁
Who else uses shopping carts as engine cradles 🤣
I noticed that - genius, eh!
I’ve been think about that for months.
i have done it
No wonder No Frills charges a quarter
Christmas came early 😃👍love them motors
This hemi would look awesome in you're 32 coupe 😎
Yeah nothing better than seeing a motor that’s been sitting for years fire up!
Nice truck at the end of the video!
Nothing better than an elephant walk.
That is a nice Hemi engine. Although, it probably needs servicing and cleaned up.
WOW That was so cool what a sound !
Sweet little skidsteer.

Now that’s Effin Kool !!!! I love those Hemies !!!!
Could this be the end of LS swaps as we know it? Tune in next time! 🤣🤣🤣
Dang I need one of those. I have a 54 desoto that came with all the bolt ons but the block and rotating assembly.
