Genesis h Christ! Why not just change your name from Mortske Repair to "will it run?" Member back in the day when you use to put out shorter videos that were entertaining, and actually showed people how to REPAIR things?
Better do it the way Don wants you to do it, Sir Morticus. Because after all, he's important. Forget the rest of us, that like the way you are doing things. #makedonthedouchehappy
There is just something so gratifying about getting an engine running on a stand. When it's all dialed in, and you can just walk up, bump the switch and BAM she fires off and idles smooth.
That look on the customers face was another satisfied customer! Man this was a great video Mortske. Never too early for a sammich, especially a celebratory sammich for another job well done!
That's probably going to be a great engine again. The 327 is famous, one of the great ones, and you did a great job getting it to run again and that required your expertise.
Great job Mortske, I knew you would get it running. You're right that engine does sound good. From the sound of it those rings came loose and I think it might have a 195 thermostat in it. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. 💪💯🔥👍👍🙏🙏🤙
LA 318 all day long. When I was a kid, I found an old dodge in the back 40 with no water pump, no alternator, and no radiator. Yanked the carb, cleaned it. Threw some gas down its throat and in the tank with a new battery and it fired right off. I drove that truck around in the back 40 until it ran out of gas. The next morning poured some more gas in the tank, cranked for a while and then, WHAM! It fired off again. I was shocked. That thing had been so hot the day before with no water pump or radiator but woke right back up.
Really like the longer video mortske Regardless of what the haters say Don 🤬 the longer video just proves how truly great a mechanic you really are the struggle is half the fun it was very educational you showed with time and patience it's possible to bring back the rings you and duff keep up the amazing content thank you sir for your an duff's time
That 327 is, I think, one of the best engines GM ever made. However, since I'm weird, I gotta say, my favorite is the old leaning tower of power. You can't kill 'em with a rock.
I own three of these, one is a '65 300hp Corvette the other is a '66 275hp SS Impala mtr, and 1 is a '68 large journal 345-ish hp. You can't go wrong with a 327ci early small journal for power and at least 1hp per Cubic inch engine. Best GM Mtr ever made IMO and the 1st to give 1 or more Hp's per Cube. Try and find a decent one from a 'vette in the 60's now and you've got something most don't even care about now that the market is over run with LS's and that crap.. No I don't need 500+hp from a Engine to have fun and reliability. I'll take 375hp any day. Mortske (Kevin) lol Great content. keep up the interesting entertainment.
"that's a weird dog", they're all weird in their own special way. :-) I like big block Chevy's for all the torques plus they fill out an engine bay nicely. Duff high tailed it out of there when she finally fired! That thing runs good :-) Thanks for the Monday morning entertainment!
Hey Mortske!! If I remember correctly, those camel hump heads had 1.94 valves, your motor possibly has a steel crank too, I started my wrenching career playing with those motors, the guy that I worked for when I was 14-15 years old had a fuel injected 283(301) in a corvette, that would be fun working on that motor, it would bring back many memories....I feel a tear coming, by the way, that bracket from the starter to block is missing....their was a time when you couldn't give these motors away!!!!
So true, very good motors for their time. Most all of us jumped to 350's or big blocks when we could. Most camel hump heads did have the 1.94 intake valves, and the rarer ones were the 2.02 valves. Like the 283's they were good engines to learn on. As you said, 283/327's worth little to nothing when bigger engines became common.
Typically the 461 and 462 castings were 1.94. The 2.02s mostly had the same casting numbers followed by an X. When I was growing up there was a neighborhood junkyard full of old chevy trucks and Impalas. My friends and I hunted many of the "Camel Hump" heads out of that old yard. One of our best finds was late 1969 to 1970 camel humps that had accessory holes for the front accessory brackets.
Love the longer videos. Reminds me of hanging out with my Dad working on cars. Nothing worth fixing takes place in 15 minutes. There's always issue's to be figured out , thought through. I'm a Ford guy but have had GM's. Currently have a 350 block with Volvo marine in my boat. Solid engine, plenty of torque, speed, and surprisingly decent fuel economy. Enjoy your shows.
My favorite engine was my 455 in my 73 old back in the day . And so much great knowledge you give us . Another great engine cheese rice it should run . Great Monday with you and duff.
Wow! How bittersweet! I’m very glad you got one of my favorite engines running but sad I won’t see it goin into something of yours. Great video anyway!!
Don't shoot me, I like the 7.3 Power stroke, and the flathead V8s.. I would really enjoy watching you do a complete engine build even if its just a quick n dirty one... Love the channel, can't wait for Monday nights.....
My favorite engine- Ford V8 flathead, I was 15, and it was my first rebuild. However I really do like the Chevy 283 and the 327. As usual, great show, my friend. Be good and take care. 👍
Great video Mortske! None of the useless knowledge you want to share this guy will take it! When you were trying to start it and it was almost going, I was rooting you on! C’mon ol girl kick over and fire!!!! When it did and you put your hands up I can completely appreciate that feeling of victory!! What a nice piece and I’m so glad to see him getting it back together. Your channel never disappoints.
There just small bore short stroke little engines. Cubic inch is king. Small block Chevrolets in general are unbeatable simplicity and reliability wise
Back in the 80s i use to work part time in a junk yard and i would take all the 327 engines. i never had a problem selling them. i think they were the best engine Chevy made back then. people would go nuts for the 327 with 202 heads.
Great video. Love those old engines. I actually had a 63 Impala Hard Top 327 4 Barrel back in the day. Wishing I never sold it and would love to have it back in same condition today.
Great running little mouse motor. If I remember correctly, the high performance 327 sbc came with what is called a 30/30 cam. It is a solid flat tappet cam. Some guys used to refer to it as a "3/4 race cam" meaning it was a great performance cam, while still being tame enough for street driving. I'm pretty sure I saw you compressing the lifters when checking for stuck valves which means that the Camshaft in that motor is a Hydraulic flat tappet cam. I would venture to say it probably still has the 250hp cam in it, with a set of double hump heads added. Regardless, any sbc enthusiast would still love to get their hands on that engine. Great job bringing it back to life the right way. Sbc cams only use splash lubrication so it's very important to prime the oil system and bring the rpms up to 1500-2000 for a few seconds immediately after starting to get some oil on the cam lobes after they have been in storage for a long time.
Almost any inline 6 I was wrenching on at the time was my favorite. Mostly because things were usually pretty accessible, the simplicity was another blessing.
Man, that little engine sounds beautiful. I love 327’s. Another fantastic video. By the way, the weather finally broke and I opened that 3 speed/overdrive transmission up. The inside looked great, and there was no signs of water intrusion. All of the gears work smoothly.
Nancy's guy Frank here... I know I'm an odd duck... but I like ANY flat head! Particularly like the later Ford V8's ... BUT also the Pontiac straight 8, and the Buick for that matter, also any of the flat head Ford 6 cylinders, or Hudson, Kaiser, and Packard flat heads. They all have their interesting points... ALL are super smooth running. Thanks for a great show... ALL the time. I always look forward to seeing a new one. But for me the "older the eng. the better" (I don't go as far back as the Model T though.. ha ha).
Great video. Thanks for sharing with us. I LOVE that “run stand” you made with the gauges and ignition switch. That’s what I like to call creative engineering. It’s what me,MacGuiver and Mortske are good at. I hope you clean up that filthy 327 for your teacher before you give it back. That way it will run and look like new. 🙂👍😎
Howdy Duff and friend, i’m 79 and had a lot of Ford flat heads I love them they were a good motor, fords I go with the Windsor 351 only because it has a distributor on the front, but I’m a true Chevy guy love the small blocks😁👍
283 is still my fave. My first car was my 1964 Chevelle, with the original 283 engine with Rochester 2 GC, and I drove it that way for 25 years. Absolutely bulletproof engine, and pretty good mileage, powerful enough to have some fun too. The engine is in the machine shop now, getting ready for a rebuild!
Good to see one spring back to life, he actually took the time to keep it lubed up and ready to run again. Can't remember what year they started drilling and tapping the crank for bolt to retain the harmonic balancer. I had one that wasn't and spun the balancer off at a rather high rpm, made a hell of a noise coming out from under the car at speed, never did find the balancer.
I'm a Mopar guy, I had a 1957/58ish 392 hemi that sounded amazing, had it in a 1960 dodge town wagon. someone offered me stupid money for it so off it went. Love the reliability of the slant 6, first truck had one, oil pump stopped pumping, old and clapped out, that engine went for another year before seizing solid. Always reminds me of the old slick 50 and duralube infomercials. Love the sound of the 5.9 12v wish I never got rid of that motor, have a 6.7 6 speed 4x4 now and love the truck and sound.. Not so much the 5.50 a gallon of diesel this week.
@@danesderelicts it was a tough decision out of the 5.0 HO, 351 Windsor, or 7.3 diesel I’ve owned but the 300 six was just completely reliable and trouble free.
Hey man that was really cool! I have always been very fascinated by Engines and Motors that run well. I need to throw some parts at my SB 350 that I had some work done to, it's been setting in the garage on an engine stand for some years. I really enjoyed watching the video, thanks for the content.
Hey Mortske: Two things that the video showed me were... Most engines are built to run and you can't kill a Chevy... Duff supervising the operation kept the process to keep going smooth.......
As per your question for your favorite engine, for me that's the legendary AMC/Jeep 4.0, tough as nails and easy to work on, my Grand Cherokee always started and had lots of pulling power for a 6.
@@samiller63 It is an AMC engine, it was designed in 1985/86 by AMC engineers, it's based off of the 258 by AMC, yes it was updated by Chrysler to include a few changes, but it's most definitely an AMC engine.
@@albundy8139 exactly the Jeep 4.0 is a updated/improved AMC 258 anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know what they are talking about and probably hasn’t seen them side by side. it’s also the reason your seeing a bunch of people swap Jeep 4.0 liter engines into Six cylinder ( be it a 232 or 258 Six ) Equipped AMC cars.
I really appreciate and like your show because you mostly work on antique cars and trucks. I ABSOLUTELY Love DUFF Dog! He's so sweet and seems like a great friend. I love his colors.
I guess I would say my favourite engine is the Ford pushrod 5.0L H.O. roller cam. Because it’s simple, reliable, makes good power and I know them inside out. Fox chassis Stangs rule.
Just sucks they're 200hp lol everything in the 80s sucked ass power wise however I love the fox bodies and camaros of the 80s I own and restored my third gen camaro but I yanked that weak ass 210hp 305 out and it now has a 500hp stroked sbc with nitrious
I had a 63 Impala SS. I know one of the primary differences between the 300 and 250 horse engines is that the 300 horse engine got the Carter AFB carb and the 250 horse got the Rochester 4 Jet.
I would have to say my all time favorite engine has to be the Oldsmobile 455 since it’s an engine that’s typically found in lots of cars that are forgotten or overlooked for the more iconic cars. And my facile car with that engine has to be the 66-67 Oldsmobile Toronado because it’s just a cool and weird car and yet it’s a monster of an engine designed to just be a torque monster. Would love to see a video in an Olds 455 or a Cadillac 500
Hey Mortske, I thought I heard you say that you set the points to .030. That seems to be just a bit too wide. I seem to remember the points gap should be about .019. Great job on the 327. Keep up the good work. My fav is the 289HP. Thanks
A long time ago I was able to drive my friend’s 1970 LS6 454 Chevelle. Since then, all other engines have been compared to that beast, and come up short. What an absolute monster!
Mine is a little 2.8 Chevy V6....just because it was in my first vehicle I ever bought. An 84 S10 5 speed. Had it in 89 through 2006! Over 300K miles on it. Took our honeymoon in it...lots of long trips to Reno from Washington state. Brought my son who is now 30 home from the hospital in it. Had lots of deer carcasses and Grouse and Salmon in the bed. Camped a ton...it was our only vehicle until about 2001! Replaced a clutch, carburetor, fuel pump, water pump ONCE each...couldn't kill that 2.8! Wish I still had it too!
Duff Dog has left the building !!!!! That first start was smokey you all but disappeared. Don't be getting soft on us with these clean unstuck engines.... Hopes it didn't cause too much stress getting her to run, no compression sucks (doesn't suck or blow). Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to your content
Mortske repair; You did it! This takes back to my high school years when my friends and I would rebuild engines from the scrap yard. That was 43 years ago and seeing this old SBC fire into life again sure brings back great memories. We went through the similar ordeals you're experiencing. Man this is music to my ears and the SBC is my favorite engine. Have a great day.
My uncle had a 57 corvette with a 283, had it punched out to 303! It was no joke when it got loose! Scary fun. She’s real fine my 409 I mean 327! Thanks 🐶🦴
love your videos.Im a collision repair tech 35 years now.Im a old chevelle guy 70 and half z-28 loved the split bumpers .ive painted alot of cars that have run though mecumn action over the years and i found out now at 60 im so tired and still doing it its fun to watch you dive into nasty motors.btw i was in a 64 chevy shortbox 6 banger that my mom was driving i was 15 and it just lost power on a hill it dyed we walked back home 4 miles my dad took took box off of it and put a allis chalmers tractor rear end under it and plowed snow with it and different motor of course
Fav engine I've had? My 6.7 powerstroke. Fav engine to work on? Good old chevy 350 in a 76 K20. Super simple, and it's where I learned what a water pump was!
I guess my favorite motor is "one that runs?" LOL. No probably the 351 Cleveland since it was the first motor I fiddled with. On a side note your soundtrack to your videos is epic. I often find myself humming something from your videos alot.
I am a "six in a row" kind of guy. I inherited a 64 Impala with a 230 in it that had almost 200,000 miles on it when I got it. I ran it for two years before the timing chain jumped some teeth. Most of those Chevy sixes were good. The Chevy 292 was a solid engine. I have a friend with a 72 Nova with one. He did some tinkering and makes the vintage Corvette guys mad when he beats them off the line. The Ford 300 was almost indestructible as was the Chrysler "Leaning Tower of Power."
A buddy of mine put a similar engine in his Malibu stock car after he blew up the engine he was running. Pulled it right out of his daily '64 Impala ! He started winning races with that one !Sounds strong !
in 74 my first boss picked up a 1970 hemi cuda hemi orange .i love that thing. back then he put 10 grand in the motor. but i liked my 68 gmc short box c10 with a 307 with vet camel 327 heads stock intake 4 barrel never let me down. should have never sold it.there always fun to get going. ran when parked ya. fun time cheers morts.
Incredibly valuable video, helpful having everything perfect and it still didn’t start will make me be all chill when the same thing happens to me with a very very old motor
Well congratulations on another successful start of the 327 so, we will see what your going to drop this in. A 3 speed on the column. Does not seem right. But, as always very good work. Thank you for sharing!
That's a sweet-sounding engine. Good job! Also, don't listen to the haters. If you wanna sing, let loose. Hey, we're just visiting. You and Duff dog live there.
Learn something everyday I'm 51 years old and I always thought that was for just a keychain hole and instead it's a Electrob Gap opener. Well-done O'Reilly's you're the only one that has a genuine keychain spark plug gapper😀
My favorite engine and why? A 240/300 Ford. I had a 92 E350 cargo van with an injected 300. Paid 500 for it with 600k miles. It hauled newspapers daily for 20 years. I had it 3 years and I was heading to Roswell NM...in the Atascaderos. My radiator grenaded on me. Closest civilization was Roswell, about 60 miles out. I drove it with no coolant at 50 mph in 95 degree weather. It was knocking and clattering but it made it to AutoZone. Threw another rad in it and drove home to Lubbock no problem at 85 mph. Absolutely indestructible engines if you keep up on the maintenance
Good video. Engine sounds real good. I guess my favorite engine. is the 390. Had 2 of them, '64 Galaxie 500 and a '68 Torino. Very fast. Also, like the Northstar V8.
