Guys I dug up a 401 Buick nail head motor , it was buried under ground for 25 years, a good friend told me about it when he bought his house, It looked like your motor, I have a 275 gallon home heating oil tank that I cut in half, I filled it with old oil put the motor in for a week, I boiled the motor wood fire under it, the motor freed up, I rebuilt the engine and was in my 65 skylark for years , till I sold it, back in 1992, you can do the same thing to that motor
Nice job. I always clean engine parts as much as possible before I use electrolysis to convert red iron oxide to magnetite. Scrapers, wire wheels and oven cleaner are involved. My machinist is impressed enough to mention how clean my stuff is.
The "black stuff" on the block is Magnetite. It's a form of Iron oxide. More properly, Iron (II, III) oxide. It will prevent flash rusting as it is itself a form of "rust"
@tallgarage If you were to hang the one electrode in the lifter valley it might have cleaned that area more. Current takes the shortest path so it would move from the outer parts of the block .
To agitate, use a fish tank air pump, hose and airstone. It will keep it moving. How rusted that block was, you probably need to change out the water solution. Pressure wash the block at that time before tossing it in a fresh solution.
Did something similar 20 years ago with a cast iron SBF intake manifold that one of my coworkers had pried out of the ground on an abandoned property. Results were better than this, but it was a smaller part and not as nasty. Had it in the solution over the weekend. It will flash rust real quick.
I am just saying this with out watching your video, I would leave it in there for at least a week. That motor was pulled out of a lake or it was buried under ground for 20 years

@@PCMenten we power washed it, honestly didn't help lol, but we tried
I love doing this!

Yeah that makes sense, thanks for the tip.
Ya gotta love a good Before & Before video.
nah, thats a" after" sir
Amazing it was still running.
That black coating is rust, sorta. Like gun blue, it is a type of iron oxide.
when I clean my hand files I soak them in vinegar, for a similar effect.

9:36, you have a Ford Ranger Deer Foot rim sitting back there…Kool…1984 vintage?
@@ypaulbrown I LS swapped my ranger, probably it's old rim lol

I would have used a 4k pressure washer on it after you took it out of the electrolysis bath.
Careful with fumes coming off, they're explosive
Boom
Your building looks nice and airy, but if you're in a closed space be super careful because electrolysis produces hydrogen gas which can go boom.
@@TStheDeplorable boom boom
What sort of voltage did the battery charger put out ? 12 volts + ?
@@ypaulbrown 12
Did you put baking soda in it
@@brianbloom1799 how about you watch the video

Sup with the ls 300??

Tbh,why would you bother,gotta be better flatheads available,if it’s just for content fair enough,
i think ill have it sandblasted and checked for cracks at some pint, i know one hole needed a sleeve after i got it apart.
No, probably more times than not the blocks are unusable. Its not unusual to go through several flathead blocks before finding one that can be saved.
