RARE ENGINE Forgotten Under A House?! - Who Would Do Something Like This?

A pile of once good parts forgotten under the front porch?
Many many years ago my old man collected a pretty hot little small block Chevy with hopes of finding a project for it. Well time went on and motor sunk deeper and deeper into the earth. At one point it was a high compression, 4 bolt main 370 horse LT1. Today, it's a bunch of possible scrap metal.
I'm looking to add a little more power to my 1955 Chevy Nomad. It currently has a fairly tame small block and I would like to go from MILD to WILD. This standard bore 4 bolt main, forged crank should be the perfect starting point!

How to get your son to clean out from underneath your deck 101: Mur: I'm pretty sure there's an Isky cam shaft and built camel hump heads under there. Dan: * Shakes head and goes treasure hunting* Mur: "pretty sure I have some Wiseco pistons in the attic too" Lol this should be a pretty fun build. Thanks for the content Dan.

He got me good....

@sparksandgritgarage555 Год назад

Hopefully no brown recluse spider bites from under the deck and crawl space but a 4 bolt stock bore block might be worth some rotting flesh lol.

@theprairietinkerer Год назад

Holy crap. So that's your Dad? He was my power mechanics teacher in high school. As I recall, he stuffed a Chevy V8 in a Volvo wagon at the time. What ever happened to that?

@patcaza6166 Год назад

that would make a great video

@theprairietinkerer Год назад

@@patcaza6166 I agree. Guessing from the plate that was in the garage it was a 1972. I also remember that it had no exhaust, open heads/manifolds. It got everyone's attention when it was brought into the shop at the end of the day.

LTl had 11:1 pistons and a solid cam. If those pistons are forged, they can be saved!

As I recall they were rated at 370HP. I had one in stock trim in a 70 Chevelle. It was definitely s ripper.

You have the best dad, a free motor under the house, now that is cool. Excellent pack rat instincts, I see where you get it. I have had motors in the house and motor cycles in the house years ago but not a motor under a house. Enjoy him while he is here, I miss my dad every day.

@nonamo9348 Год назад

Dan try soaking the pistons and rods in a plastic pail filled with cleaning vinegar and Dawn dish soap. A couple of days soaking should remove the corrosion without damaging the aluminum pistons.

@coyboybc Год назад

That’s my thoughts too

@allankwiatkowski9086 Год назад

i did that did not like how the pistons came out

@dougsmaintenanceshop5868 Год назад

Careful with vinegar. You gotta monitor the soak---I destroyed a set of heads soaking them for 3 days. They were bubbling away. I thought it was getting good and clean, lol. It was getting eaten! Now I check the vinegar bath and rinse and see how things are going. No more than 12 hours is my rule.

@tomhutchins1046 Год назад

Boil them the aluminum will expand faster then the steel pins

@stevenbelue5496 Год назад

Can't use then anyway, the block will not stay standard unless it had really low use and the cylinders are barely flash rusted. The rods look stock, which all sbc rods were forged. Even if they are the pink rods you can buy decent aftermarket 4340 rods for a few hundred bucks.

@timshamblin1223 Год назад

The 350-370hp heads are worth finding!

@ryno6101 Год назад

Lol ❤❤ I laughed so hard during this😂😂😂 At 14 years old my best friends dad had a junk yard that I bought a 283 and power glide from for my first project. At one time in my first garage I had 13 small blocks , cranks and heads , would have guys over looking for parts all the time. Also many transmissions, manual and auto and rear ends , I learned to build them all , making my own fixtures and tools along the way. My dad wouldn’t allow anything at home.

@47kb8 Год назад

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but soda blasting can get the corrosion off aluminum without putting it more. Just a thought.

👍My Dads place in PA is almost same thing. Old GOOD stuff stored everywhere. Tons of NOS everything. Mostly wrapped up in protective blankets & thick furniture moving pads. From switches, relays, engines to NOS 1955 Chevy, OLDS, Ford & NASH stuff. Along w/ the covered cars. He won’t sell a thing & I don’t blame him. He’s 82 now & time is catching up w/ him.

@HeadFlowInc Год назад

If the block and crank are good build it with aftermarket 6.00” connecting rods and forged pistons; add a spin balance. Remember when you cam the engine to actually make power at 7000 rpms it’s going to be more challenging to drive for normal street use.

@25vrd48 Год назад

I've got an old hot rod 69 Camaro engine that's got .100 dome TRW forged pistons , an Isky cam with a flat lobe and heads that dirt track guys are required to use . 4-bolt block thats .030 over . Good engine to build . Old style hot rod stuff that's worth using . Hope all of your stuff cleans up good enough to use . High winding small blocks are Killers . Great video .

@jfv65 Год назад

Little fun factoid: In the 1980's BMW sourced and used old RUSTY M10 shortblocks for building their F1 racing engines: 1.5Liter, inline4 16valve, huge turbo, 1200hp in qualifying trim. Those old rusted M10 blocks were said to have no residual stress in the castings and that's why they were supposed to be better as a basis for building a new engine. Or so the old lore goes. Moral of the story: if that block is not cracked it might still make a great engine.

@TheBBodyBuilder Год назад

Dan I applaud your love for old school tech and hot rods…but if you want more jam…6L LS, cam/springs, gap the rings and slap on a turbo…you will love it and will never look back.

@gordonstroup882 Год назад

Find yourself a large journal 66 327 engine. You know, the ones that came with flat top 10½to1 comp. Put yourself a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads on there. Port match the heads to your intake of choosing, run a 780 cfm Holley carb, get a cam with 495 lift and a 292 duration. On your headers, run a 12 to 14 inch collector extensions and a 3 inch exhaust with free flow mufflers. Oh, if you remember, get a 2 inch carb spacer. New, heavy duty valve springs, because y'all want a high reving engine, make sure to balance everything that bolts to the crankshaft, even the flywheel. If you want even higher revs, roller tip rockers-1.5 ratio AWW, SCREW IT! Get a 6.0 LS and stick a cam in it!😮😂😅

@bigdaveonbass Год назад

If that is a true LT-1 350, you need to find those heads! I had a 70 Chevelle Malibu back in 1980-81 that I dropped a legit 350/370HP Corvette motor in. Factory specifications were steel crank, 11 to 1 pistons, four bolt main, 2.02/1.60 heads with screw in studs and guide plates and the camshaft from the factory was about a .465 lift solid lifter. The motor was wore out when I got it, but it ran. I just had to keep some extra spark plugs as the number one cylinder would occasionally oil fail the plug. Good luck! If nothing else, research the casting number, and if the serial number is still stamped on the block, it might be worth something to a restoration expert.
