Hi Dan you always talk of Mortske. Don't let him bother you he bad mouths Puddin as well I seen his hacks he always talk about loosing his shop. I don't see how his net worth is a half million. You are right he focuses on selling his merchandise. I am a disabled Viet-Nam Vet. I like how living in Canada and you display the American Flag. You're not a hack. You get the job done to the best of your ability. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your service! If I were old enough then I would have been there when you nam vets came home I would be up front full of support for all .
Dan, I'm fairly new to your channel, but dig what DD speed shop is. Please cobble together the 283 because I need the inspiration to cobble my 305 together and that's what I get from your videos. Keep rocking, good luck on the build.
Hey Dan, Please be careful with your back. You surely don't want to end up with a back like mine. I had one surgery and that surgeon screwed it up worse. Now they want to do 2 more surgeries and no guarantees. Screw them. I'll keep taking my pain meds and live the best I can. By the way, I was a mechanic all my life till I was 40 and blew out my back. Another thing, I wish I could be tripping over tri fives like you. lol Love your channel and videos, including your knowledge of tri fives. Take care and be safe.
once spent 6 hours on a 6 cylinder that had no compression pulling plugs ans putting oil in and it would only run till oil burnt off i switched to gear oil to get a longer run time my persistace paid off the rings freed and it stayed running smoked out the whole shop had to leave after it run got heat into block it ran great 135 psi to 150 psi comp after running few times anyways love your vids keep up the good work
Hey Dan... definitely would love to see you rip into that 283. To at the least see what's going on with it. Oh and love your channel. Love the banter between you and danielle.😂😂😂❤ anyway Keep the great content coming. Hate seeing the snow. Lol!! We dont get to see it often here in Nashville Tennessee.
In my mind, a 1st Gen SBC has a soul, an LS does not. I would pull out the 3 stone hone, the lapping compound, buy a cheap Amazon SBC Rebuild kit and show that the 283 can be rebuilt and run well on the cheap. It would go well with the spirit of the Ratty '57 Hardtop build. That's just my vote, it's your car and you pay the bills! Dan can do no wrong when a Tri-Five is saved instead of facing the crusher! As always, I will continue to watch! Keep up the great work!
Dan, your content is authentic and unique. I admire what you do with these old cars and even if I wouldn't have chosen to do them the way you did them, I like that you stay true to yourself. Keep on truckin brother and I'll keep watching this amazing channel👍
It would be really cool down the road to go thru and beef up that 283, love those Motors they have lots of torque, my friend had one in his little chevy luv truck, what a monster, always enjoy your videos. 😊
Man youre tellin me. I have a short I uploaded earlier this year. Cleanin up a hemi, bent down to pick the engine up and put it on the engine stand and herniated a friggin disk! I still got her on the stand but its been a dang rough year since and I'm still battling intermittent weakness that makes me feel 15 years older than i am
You have definitely allowed me to lower my standards. Instead of saving and saving for parts for my 68 bronco that I have had since 1998 I’m now working on it. Instead of waiting till I every part and panel
When you are at swap meets and such keep your eyes out for small block ford fenderwell headers the pipes don't have to be moved to use on a ls just the flange
Interesting the difference in treatment between the "Worst 57 Chevy, and the new Nomad, I'm enjoying both. Thank you for your efforts in keeping as many car from the scrapper as you can.
Dude, you got slot of icons in the fire? I'd like to see the Joel get finished? Or at least running. But I enjoy watching you work your ass off. Be careful Dan. I worked my ass off for45 years. And now after back surgery # 4, I'm living my life vicariously through watching you, VGG PBG, Puddins fab shop,Halfasscustoms,etc. Keep it up. Be careful with your BCK!!!👍👍👍
I have to admit, that as entertaining as these are, they have become a kind of addictive. The term I use is referobble works cause there is to me nothing more frustrating than a pile of usable parts and no where to bolt them all together into a "runner" . I know I'm not alone with this deli-ma. Be well. Hi Danny.
🗿💨 the 283 would make a high revving black nomad eng.. imo. Rv cam advance timing chain 2°, 194 heads and with solid lifters and screw in studs. @8000 Rpms it should perform with or without supercharger 😎 open plentiem intake 700 CFM min😎 Dang, I love a buzzing small block. Thanks for sharing Dan
You are the G.O.A.T. when it comes to making it work. Not many would even consider modifying a set of BBC headers to fit an LS. But you just look at it nonchalantly and say, it will be a little work. Love it!
Hey brother keep up the good work, there's a reason why I watch every one of your vids within 24 hours, yet while also subscribed to Mortske, i haven't watched one of his in months...
Can't believe you still haven't taken the auction numbers off the windows of the most expensive Nomad... but loving your vids anyway. Good seeing your progress.
Dan down here Hobo Freight sells furniture movers pretty cheap, you should get some, and alter them , so you can sit things on them. It makes stuff easy to move , with less drama, than trying to drive the Bobcat beside your good stuff! Carry on sir!
You know what I do for engine stands I take shopping carts and cut the tops off and it leaves a good base to put motors on. Mine hold big block Chrysler and 460 Ford’s with transmissions no problem and have sat on them for years without bending or breaking them. I have been doing that for over 25 years. Try one you will like it!
Hey, Dan:Thanks for paying close attention to the 283.Think it deserves that.One of my alltime favourite engines.Growing up, our had a bunch of in different cars.One tough engine!
Would be nice if you could do a quick “refurb” of the 283 just for clicks (I would watch it) just get the cilinders ‘honed’ with a fixed stone and drill, new rings and then call it mint!
Well Dan, like Tri Five Chev's they are not making any more small block chev engines. People were telling me that I was putting a " belly button engine" in my project. ( a 1927 Model T). It was what I had to work with 28 years ago and I still grin every time I let her at it. You keep every one you can! Every body has an LS
Maybe one of your next cars could be a tri five Pontiac? Pontiac power? You always use pieces of the Pontiacs to make the Chevy's anyway, plus the tri five Pontiacs are cheaper lol. I'll find you one rust free in Arizona cheap, you can come vacation in the sunshine😂 while you fix it up and drive it home .
I look at your double doors facing each other from one garage to the other. You could pull the doors off put them in the basement and build a "shed" or passthrough between the two. You could get real fancy and make the enclosure to retain the doors and just pin them open.
Dan, what you need is a dolly I have moved engines and transmissions easy, pezy. In tight spots, just get a heavy-duty duty one. Leverage versus muscles.
Ahh thought, go ahead and install that L/S in the 57... However you have a brilliant idea of tearing down the 283 and making that happy... On a side note, leave Morski and Puddin alone stop carrying there water.... Your the true Rock Star ..... :)
Love the builds and love the VGG hat you have been repping as of late. This 57 is😢what a lot of us would have done back it the day. Thanks for taking me back to early times in my life
The 57 street gasser deserves a big block and blower Hookers & Blow Love all the hard work & struggle My 2 cents Racing alternator, racing battery under seat , racing electric water pump, trick flow heads, geared timing no chain, electric rack (no hydraulic system) All motor look
I agree with @kevinshowers, that’s the way Mortske is. He means you no harm Dan. He talks that way to everyone. Two different guys you and him. Just like Puddin. Puddin is way out in left field. You are more serious about what you do. And I believe you do it well. I’m an old hotrodder from the 60 thru 82 when I concentrated on music and my family. Just do what you do Dan, it’s very good entertainment and it’s tri 5’s
I found my first 57 Chevy Bel Air two door hardtop behind a barn in the 1970s. It was worse than the hardtop being worked on here. The car was stored on my family farm. I went out to junkyards gathering up parts to fix it up. One day I went up to the farm to work on the 57 and found it shot up by 12 gauge shotguns. End of project.
Would imagine you would get a lot of thumbs up if you explain how to connect the MSD ignition controller to the car's wire harness. Know I would! But of course I always do anyway. Just saying lots of people wonder how simple that process is.
Dan.....all the builds are looking great....yep just get these rides back on the road and enjoy them....oh here in Michigan we just got our 1st snow fall..did you do this ? ..haha..DD Speed Shop is great and entertaining as well as educational..take care / T😊
No damm hood scoop please love the way you are doing the 57chevy❤red winstead from the dirty south Salito Mississippi keep up the good work Dan the man ❤hey dannie❤the kool girl on the planet working with dan❤
Chaps ???? Didn't see that coming .. Dump run ... 🤔Your not one of those that come back with more than you brought ? Great video with all the grunting ...
Dan if it was me. I would have double doors on both garages and poor some cement. So the picker can work smarter. But remember not every thing free is not worth saving up for.
