at least he parted it out, saved the engine, tires and rear portion for someone else, and the grill for art, so that's the nicest, and perhaps most environmentally friendly way of junking, instead of everything all together like many do, granted that the former is much more work, but it is also just so much more satisfying to do and think about.

When you floored it to mix the load you could hear the exhast go through the muffler and a massive cloud of black would come out.

I had, and finally scrapped , a 1978 C65 with the fibreglas front end, and I regret that I didn't have the room to save the front of the hood and grill. I loved the look of that grill. I have saved a couple of car front ends, that I intent to use to hang on the wall of my garage, one being a 1972 LTD Country Squire, that will look beautiful on the wall. The guys on Roadkill, used a couple of leaf blowers to add power to a small block, and the theory worked great. I always loved the sound of those 2 cycle Jimmys.

@darylhudson777 Месяц назад

Matt, you are an ingenious cobbler at times...lol...i would have pulled the motor and brought it in the shop then pulled the blower. Glad you are saving what you find useful. I would save the frontend as some have suggested. So many good items have went to the scrapyards depleting our reserves of treasures. Let's think twice because many people need parts and will use some items for other uses like display.

This episode tells us all we need to know about Matt, the mechanical scientist. He starts out with a theory “Can this engine be saved, will it run?” Then comes a series of experiments in which he collaborates with others and tries the suggestion to enlarge the intake and force more air in using a leaf blower, using ether as fuel. “Try again, fail again. Fail better.” Must admire work ethic, keeps trying. Then total joy at success, engine saved. We also learn that anything Matt send to scrap yard is absolutely, truly not able to be salvaged, must melt. Whatta’ guy, must subscribe! 😅

With a hole directly into the engine and no valves, there is nothing to prevent blow back except the air pressure from the leaf blower. I would 199% expect that to happen. I figured the whole blower would just explode by itself by getting a spark from the electric motor.
