There is no such thing as junk or scrap if it has a use. To look at a hulk or sub-assembly and picture it in a new application AND ACTUALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN is the difference between a hoarder/dreamer and a owner of a unique new thing. Mostly I admire your energy and enthusiasm.
The US of A has so much more to find , great picking and always enjoyable watching and listening to you describe . All the best to you and family .. love this channel Alberta Dave
Interesting video. Never seen a video of switching an 3/4 to 1 ton old pick up truck from 2wd to 4wd with rebuilt junk driveline units and bolting on the front suspension cradle to get a cheap repower, front discs, and independent suspension and get that through state inspection station with engine numbers that don't match the body, without the state stalling out the registration. Did see a Freightliner van get a complete 1935 Diamond T front sheet metal clip and will never know how that one got registered as a complete hybrid something or other.
Hello from Minnesota! I had A lot of what you need on both the Chevy engines and the 225 but it all went to the scrapper 3 years ago when I moved. That's always the way! what one guy has another needs but the distance is too far to exchange the goods! Good luck in finding what you need.
Great job on these videos. If you don't know this by now the slant 6 you bought is a '75 or newer. It has the "peanut" head on it which came out that year and eliminated the spark plug tubes. If it's a '75 it will have a forged crank with 1.25" rod journal width. If it's a '76 or newer it will have a cast crank and the rod journals are 1" wide. The bellhousing on the engine was drilled for both the 3 speed and the 883 4 speed transmissions since they were both used behind the slant. Measure the bearing retainer bore. It looks to me that it is 5.125" which would indicate it probably had an OD 4 speed bolted to it. Ma Mopar started doing that in late '75. Your series on the '73 Dodge pickup is what got me to subscribe to your videos. I'd give my left nut for that truck. I'd give my right one for a 170 slant 6 block. If you run across one of those let me know. They are getting scarce as hen's teeth and were only produced from 1960 to 1970. The bypass hose that goes from the head to the water pump is only an inch or so long on a 170. That's quick telltale. Thanks again and have fun....
Oops ! I just listened to that remark again. You actually said "305" not "302". I should have never doubted you. But let the viewer be warned. The '442 crank you got was the only casting shared between the 305 and the 350. It was produced for a wide span of years - from '68 to '85. During the life of the 305 they used nine other castings that were lightweight versions only for the 305 (and smaller) engines. The 305 uses a smaller diameter piston (3.736 inch) which makes the piston lighter. So stating in the mid '70s a light version of the 305 crankshaft was made with smaller counterbalances. You can lighten a 350 crankshaft to balance in a 305, but it's difficult to add enough metal to a 305 crankshaft to work in a 350.
Some of the Massey Ferguson combines had the '225 engines. I think Gleaner had GM engines like the 283's or maybe the 235's. Good luck, too, finding what you need (carbs, caps, starters..........).
wow what a haul you have there Jonathan. I couldnt even get prices like that at pick in pull for a used engine. And you got three! I gotta go find some auto parts auctions out here in Reno thats some really decent stuff for cheap. Thanks for sharing
Around 18:00 you said the 302 and the 350 had the same stroke. Not true my otherwise educated friend. The 302 and the 350 share the same bore (4 inches). The 302 uses the 283 's stroke (3 inches) compared to the 350's 3.48 inch stroke. Even though the bores are the same the 302's piston are different as well. To get the piston top up to the deck Chevy used 1.8 inch compression height which if used in a 350 would put the piston crown out of the bore about a quarter inch. I love your videos. Keep them coming !
i think the slant 6 bellhousing works mainly for the overdrive transmission but also works for the standard 4 speed if memory serves me correct it will also work with the 3 speed if you run the regular 4speed the throw out bearing coller is smaller on the regualr 4 speed but i have never had a problem just uising bolts they make a spacer to make it bigger like the over drive trans most of the overdrive looked just like the 4 speed except they were aluminum.
Damn what a score you stole that stuff LOL!! That's cool that 225 looks like a newer block it looks to be one from mid 70's maybe a Super 6 with the 2bbl carb they went to a hydraulic lifters in the mid 80's instead of the solid lifters and they made the block lighter then the old block I don't know If you read the comments but I was saying you should get a Flathead for that Ford you just got done building that flathead would be awesome on that it would be cooler then a Y block in my opinion anyways what a score you stole that stuff but I guess one man''s junk is another man's gold mine and you scored well at that auction.
Hey Jonathan , so is the 216 the engine that just had 2 acorn nuts in the middle of the valve cover then if that one is a 235.... thatq 235 runs forever ! Great finds ...... If any one can find deals it looks like you can !
Jonathon, you found some real good buys at that auction, with the scrap guys buying this stuff up and most of our youth driving Honda`s and they don`t know anything about building on the cheep, so as sad as it is most of this stuff will end up going to China. I have a liking for the Chrysler 225 slant six motors, they produce good power and are almost bullet proof , I used buy the single bbl Holley carbs with the glass fuel bowl whenever I found them in good undamaged shape at the pick a part yards. Take care bud.
The Chevy engine may be a 216. If the spark plugs have 10mm threads, that would cinch it. The linkage on top of the bell housing is for a starter pedal.
I want to take a lucky guess the 350 block is early 70s truck engine it was low compression it had dish top with 4 valve reliefs probably a set of 882 heads
I know this video is old but on Chevy's to denote a high nickle block with a wired suffix all you gotta do is either look for a k under the timing cover or belhousing area and also the inside of timing area and belhousing looks like someone took a pension eraser and dabbed the casting all over
Sorry about the comments them are great from ends for rat rods gassers they are Farley hard to find wish we had stuff like that here you did not go wrong on this find a lot of money setting ther looks like scrap to a lot of people to me that stuff is gold I bet that block is fine maybe a truck motor or motor home they had a lot of 4 bolt mains what a sore the flatbhrads the front ends you have the room for it lots of projects sorry about the comments I have about ten but this made my blood pump
still checking out some of your older posts...great hit on those parts and engines, some of that stuff is getting really hard to get...the mopar 6 are becoming hard to find... shoot my self for getting rid of my 71 d100 stepside about 10 yrs ago...closest one at that time was in Neb. for 850.00 plus shipping...i know i could have swapt a 318 in...i'm a slant die hard..1st car was a 64 dart with 3 on the tree... :-) had the 170...well will keep watching
Hi Jonathan, I just took a second look at these auction finds. I don't think they ever resurfaced. Were they sold, or are they waiting for a project? Three engines. I would love to see them under the hood of a car, and what car?
all small block chevy motors have the same stroke on the crank and since that is a 4 bolt main if that is the correct crank it should be forged steel instead of cast
Good stuff! I love them auctions. Thanks Johnathon!
And those Ford Axles. You are one lucky guy

I'm not a Ford person but I love the old flat heads engines.
You think just like me!!

Always interesting to see your auction finds!

The US of A has so much more to find , great picking and always enjoyable watching and listening to you describe .

Damn, I would love to find a trailer like that. I could use the bed on my Ol'Beater 54 Chevy
Truly enjoy your videos I think we about the same age I love seeing the old car parts keep up the good work
I had a slant 6 in my old Ply Valant lol. I also have that old vice someday I want to move it but heavy lol
I like that old flat head Ford v8 its cool.
Hello from Minnesota! I had A lot of what you need on both the Chevy engines and the 225 but it all went to the scrapper 3 years ago when I moved.
That's always the way! what one guy has another needs but the distance is too far to exchange the goods!

A good wife will let you have toys to play with.
Least she knows your out in the yard working & not at the bar trying to score.
Really a great haul at the auction. Picked up a lot of nice projects.
Some real treasures. The old chevy is interesting.
The chev. 6 cyl is a 235. The ealier 216 eng. has the valve cover screws in the top.

Sheesh, that's not junk. It's rusty gold.
Agree!!!

our old Masses had Chrysler 6cyl flatheads. the last combine I ran before leaving the farm in 67, A Massy 510 and it had a 327Chev, (optional diesel)
Cool idea

Great find
good haul Bro! wish we could have gone with ya!
The old bed is an 1952/53 International harvester truck I have one with an 8 foot bed 3/4 tune was my gaind dad's old farm truck . :)

There are still a few good ole boys around. Referring to the youth.
Nice haul. A lot you can use for "tradin' stock"............
Nice haul!
Looks like some nice finds. And some very cheap prices
The only bad part is even cheap prices add up. The junk man got about 50 or more engines, wish I could have saved more.
Nice videos,thanks!!
Nice! I bought a '74 Dodge Dart with a 225 SS. I want to rebuild it. I'm going to try to get as much out of it as I can. Hopefully.
Get ahold of Uncle Tony he has UTG on RUclips
Hobby Shop Toys! I like that forge, never seen one.
Most were round. It is small so probably a old horseshoe forge for a farrier.
Good thought. I've been wanting to build a small one, maybe brake drum style, just to play with but I've got lots of dead vegetation in the summer.
that small block chev is a target master. only 4 bolt main small blocks maid were 350 400 302 .327 & 305 were never built as 4 bolt main
Good stuff. TFS
I live north of Toronto in they call it cottage country so we get a fair bit of snow and lots of salt cool old Horns
man you got some steals there. a 235 in a rat rod would be cool
The Chevy engine may be a 216. If the spark plugs have 10mm threads, that would cinch it. The linkage on top of the bell housing is for a starter pedal.
I want to take a lucky guess the 350 block is early 70s truck engine it was low compression it had dish top with 4 valve reliefs probably a set of 882 heads
You can’t beat them and they are hard to kill good old 225
I think the flat head Ford engine is a 48'. 49' engine had a top distributer and water outlets in head were in the front top of the head.
I know this video is old but on Chevy's to denote a high nickle block with a wired suffix all you gotta do is either look for a k under the timing cover or belhousing area and also the inside of timing area and belhousing looks like someone took a pension eraser and dabbed the casting all over
Chevy engine is from after 1954-valve cover with for screws at the base instead of two boltson the top .Greetings from France.
My mistake ,I mean since 1954 !
well look like nice stuff you can use i for the next rat rod build .
You find lot of good stuff are is all rotted out from our winters
hi very well dun .
Sorry about the comments them are great from ends for rat rods gassers they are Farley hard to find wish we had stuff like that here you did not go wrong on this find a lot of money setting ther looks like scrap to a lot of people to me that stuff is gold I bet that block is fine maybe a truck motor or motor home they had a lot of 4 bolt mains what a sore the flatbhrads the front ends you have the room for it lots of projects sorry about the comments I have about ten but this made my blood pump
still checking out some of your older posts...great hit on those parts and engines, some of that stuff is getting really hard to get...the mopar 6 are becoming hard to find... shoot my self for getting rid of my 71 d100 stepside about 10 yrs ago...closest one at that time was in Neb. for 850.00 plus shipping...i know i could have swapt a 318 in...i'm a slant die hard..1st car was a 64 dart with 3 on the tree... :-) had the 170...well will keep watching
Hi Jonathan, I just took a second look at these auction finds. I don't think they ever resurfaced. Were they sold, or are they waiting for a project? Three engines. I would love to see them under the hood of a car, and what car?
Those ford front ends are death traps.
Glad that 235 isn't the integral head style.
216 got a '39 in my 52 businessmans coupe
hit up youtuber elderly iron, he 'll probably have some parts that you might need..
Jonathon, did you know that the Ford flat head block were such good castings almost too hrd to machine?
Be nice if you had an unlimited budget to save them old parts and put a bunch of cool cars on the road.
And a big building to store it all!!!
Need a good battery Tech already trained ready to go AAA
Great stuff. How is the 51 Stude doing?
Did you ever find your old boxes that you think someone stole for scrap
Tell me that's pretty close to Heaven that ain't junk and I won't ask my wife what she thinks will leave her out of it
That was a marine engine what is the bore size? Watch the cam they were reverse rotation
What was the blue one a 225 slant 6 if it was them suckers will run forever
TAKE THE V8 FLATHEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you sound kinda like bob ross.
What state you in?
all small block chevy motors have the same stroke on the crank and since that is a 4 bolt main if that is the correct crank it should be forged steel instead of cast
Engir they are not all the same
Hoarder!!
