As we continue the rustoration of this 1959 Chevy El Camino, we continue to find major issues. That won't stop me though. We will continue to get this old classic back on the road, in true budget fashion!

As a fellow 59 El Camino owner, I’m glad to see that I’m not the only younger guy trying to save these rigs. Mine has very minimal rust but I have to install my new wiring harness before it’s road legal again. My long term plan is to bag it, pull the 327 out and install a period correct Tri-Power 348 like it originally had. 😅 And I know it’s not much, but I know you’ll put this donation to good use for a new part on yours. Keep on keeping on bud 🤘

@CountryBoyGasGarage 20 дней назад

Hey Thanks Eric! I really appreciate that! Thank You! Love the El Caminos!

@aftershock2222 Месяц назад

Man, I was raised poor, and I really appreciate that you are a regular guy who works with what you have. Keep on keeping on.

Smaller chamber 305 heads build more compression on a 350 block.

@DannyWildmon Месяц назад

Smaller valves than a normal 350 head. That means you are getting less air and fuel mixture in the chamber= less horsepower.

@paulweigle6872 Месяц назад

305 heads have a smaller combustion chamber. That's why they were used. It helps to raise compression on the smog era engines. Old school hotrod stuff. Rams horn manifolds flow better than log style manifolds. Whoever was building that thing had knowledge, but no money.

@paulweigle6872 Месяц назад

Actually, the vale size is exactly the same as most 350 truck and passenger car engines. Only a select few received the 202 intake valve heads, such as the power pac, fuelie, or double humps.

@Awsom47Merc Месяц назад

First you should never leave an engine in that type or engine stand for long because the weight will distort the bellhousing bolt holes. You should use the type of stand that bolts to the motor mounts and sits on the floor. You may want to check those holes for bellhousing alignment so you don't built a block that is not able to be assembled to bellhousing/transmission. Yes you have a low compression 350 with 305 heads. A common thing guys did to raise compression. When you get the new oil pump get a new drive rod also. Make sure your alignment pins are aligned by test fitting then tighten bolt to 65 ft lbs. Install pickup and leave sticking up a bit. Then put oil pan gaskets in place and gently press oil pan down to set angle of pickup. Remove pan and push pickup down a little more (1/4" is good). Then cover assembly with aluminum foil along with pump and put a tack weld at junction of pickup & pump to keep it in place. Do not fill new pump with grease. It will prime itself. Hope this helps. Your doing it man ! Later 👊😎👍

@headersandstrings6737 Месяц назад

I agree with the others. New oil pump and send it! It’s not a race engine, even though the 305 heads will raise compression. It should be a solid engine for the elco.

@gregsabo6371 Месяц назад

That would run again with minimal work. Not as bad as I expected at all!

@mavision6525 Месяц назад

I was raised on a farm and all I remember was getting work done with what you had. Your channel shows other folks how it can be done. I also like this channel because you start a project and get it done. So much better than other channels that go from one project to another and not finish anything.

@robertburns3014 Месяц назад

I'm betting on you, Jason! I believe you'll get the 305/350 to run again.

@prestonpatton2846 Месяц назад

Those old engines are real durable, it is completely useable. including the oil pump, just take it off and clean it really good and reassemble it with assemble lube in it (i use lubriplate 105). Clean out the oil passage. If the engine hasn't turned over they should be ok. Just clean and inspect until all doubt is eliminated. Also put a catch bolt in that engine stand hole to prevent accidental roll over.

@Rambone169 Месяц назад

Don’t worry just clean it up through and spin it over a few times times and replace the oil pump

@stormchaser300 Месяц назад

THE ENGINE YOU HAVE IS The original Chevy 350 from 1967. The L48 is the original 350 cu in (5.7 L) engine. It was introduced for 1967 in the Super Sport (SS) version of the Camaro (which used it until 1969) and for 1968 in the Chevy II/Nova (which used it until 1979). In 1969, it was used in almost all car lines-Camaros, Caprices, Impalas, El Caminos, Chevelles, and Novas.

@CountryBoyGasGarage Месяц назад

Oh Heck Yeah! Hey Thanks!

@OlysGarage Месяц назад

I'd throw an oil pump at it and run it. Somebody knew a few things about mixing and matching. Those 305 heads raised the compression. I think it will be just fine with a new pump in there.

@dnmtorp Месяц назад

I think I would check the bearings while you have the pan off. This way you can know what you are working with and how long you can go without rebuilding it.

@vayabroder729 Месяц назад

It will need a good cleanup but overall doesn’t look bad. Your plan might pan out. Make sure that oil pump is cleaned out great. It will work. Also I suggest you check the block freeze plugs now that you have easy access.

Did you ever check with Ryan at Iowa classic cars Ryan you come to La Crosse a lot of them old cars like that in different salvage yards maybe you can help you out and morski repai more ski repair had a 59 Chevy I can't remember what was in it if you're still looking for a part

@tectalabyss Месяц назад

Hello Jason. I believe the engine will be fine. May be a good ideal to remove the oil pump and give it a good clean try and put assembly lube any good brand add oil and run the oil pump before you spin it over.I know what being poor is. I grew up that way here in the Mountains of Upper east Tennessee. If this awful economy ever gets better I will be happy to help. I liked and shared. All my very best.

@marctorigiani4558 Месяц назад

So the 397 0010 block is a high nickel alloy content main webs it's a good strong block whether it's two bolt main or 4 bolt main it's a good engine to build for sure

@davidturk6170 Месяц назад

8:37 - some previous owner probably took parts off the original engine (e.g., breather tube, valve covers) and put it on the newer engine.

@MyAnnex Месяц назад

small block Chevy's are probably the easiest engines to get running, a good cleaning and there will be no issues getting it to run.

@Awsom47Merc Месяц назад

You may want to check that the bellhousing bolt holes aren't stretched out of position from hanging off that engine stand for so long. You never leave an engine on those stands very long or that can happen. Your doing it man ! Peace Buddy 👊😎👍

@CountryBoyGasGarage Месяц назад

@@Awsom47Merc oh dang! Thanks for the tip! Peace Brother! ✌🏻

@jamesmcdonald5868 Месяц назад

The way an engine stand is truly supposed to work is that the rack mount is supposed to come off the base of the engine. Stand that way. You don't have so much awkward moving around. Since you already slid your spinner bar out of it, you can take that mount and slide it out of the stand bolt it to the rear of your engine block and then what you do is maneuver your engine. Stand back onto the mount and then lower it down.

@CountryBoyGasGarage Месяц назад

Oh Hey Thanks! I appreciate the help man!

@stormchaser300 Месяц назад

Looking at all that water you may have a cracked head or a blown head gasket. Or the head wasn't planed down evenly when they redone it and didn't torque it down correctly.

@davidkoslek9372 Месяц назад

It was not un common to put 305 HO heads on a 350. Smaller combustion chamber. With the smaller valve size it creates a unique intake velocity. Not ideal for high RPM but fun efficient street engine's

@CountryBoyGasGarage Месяц назад

Nice! Hey Thanks!

@marctorigiani4558 Месяц назад

Somebody's building a hot rod engine those heads have 58cc combustion Chambers if you put them on a 350 with flat top pistons you get a solid 10 1/2 to 1 compression. Somebody did that intentionally to raise the compression because the intake ports on the valve size are the same as a 350 305 head has a small combustion chamber which raises the compression considerably

Oh Heck Yeah! Hey Thanks!

@supernovaVII Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing another interesting episode! That intake along with the valve covers are designed to be on a block that has a road draft pipe on the back of the block that the 350 block does not have because they use a PCV system. The road draft pipe along with the vented oil filler cap is how the crank case was ventilated. The best solution might be to remove the oil filer/breather pipe from the intake and block the hole off. Then gat a PCV valve and setup a PVC system. You would need to get some new valve covers to do the PCV system.

Your efforts remind me of that JFK speech, we choose to go to the moon.

Keep doing what you do! Love it!!

@stormchaser300 Месяц назад

JASON MOST COMMON CAUSE FOR WATER IN THE OIL PAN IS: All the water that was put into the radiator went right into the oil pan. That is more than a leak. A leak would be if the radiator drain valve was loose. It has to be something eternal in the motor. The water is where it is not supposed to be how did it get there. Intake manifold gasket? I just changed mine on my 4.3 but it was not that bad but was starting to leak into the oil pan because when I changed my oil I noticed coolant in the oil. Just a guess on your problem but it something I would look at.

@tectalabyss Месяц назад

If it had been a bad gasket in the engine, the water would have been green. I have seen engines do this where the air is humid with temperature changes like here in the mountains where I live. I am not trying to be a know it all. Just experience over the years. All my best.

@LeonardMagnusson Месяц назад

almost sounds like some one was getting ready to put that motor in a boat. hoping it turns out to be 4bolt.

@CountryBoyGasGarage Месяц назад

It's a 4 bolt!

@LeonardMagnusson Месяц назад

why would some one put 305 heads on a 350 4 bolt main. just me now. i would give it a wah. you did that i would run some tranny fluid mixed in the oil and let clean softly. and just free wheel. if you could do it with out starting it would be best. hopefully what ever ridge you got is small. little comet down the throat will clean valves. but your already a part .have fun cleaning.

305/350 small blocks are compatible with each other you can bolt parts from a 305 on a 350 block and parts from a 350 on a 305 there essentially the same engine even today's modern LS style engines the 4.8/5.3 are the same even up to the 6.0 the only difference is the heads , intake and cam profile. But basic small block chevy best design GM ever built and stuck with for years.
