Ooh a 360 in the Challenger. What you just did was DOUBLE the Challenger’s power.
Negs about ads are ignorant. Are you calling the any other forms of media sellouts for selling advertising? He should be compensated for his effort and entertainment value. If you don’t like it don’t watch.

HAVE A GOOD DAY Sir.
Ugh!!! I just wanna power wash it so bad!
I’m not a car person at all, but I do admire them as a piece of engineering. They’re such a common thing but they never get boring, everyone loves are car chase even though they’re in 90% of movies and tv shows. I’ve seen many old restoration videos of cars like this where they basically cut everything out of them and keep maybe the bottom of the chassis and replace everything else. This guy is doing everything he can to keep as much of the actual car as possible. All without glaring drum and bass music blasting throughout the video. Just the sound of a human trying to fix a piece of hardware, it’s just so satisfying to see.
Yes, so many RUclipsrs think background music enhances their videos, when the opposite is true. We've got music apps for music, just talk and do, please!
Amazing he does that
Not a car guy? Go watch kitten videos.
there is a little bit of car in your dirt
😂😂😂😂
Lol
That dirt is factory.
Burleon some tires in your mud
That's a good one 😂
Mark me down for definitely wanting to see what has the engine seized.
My money is on rings. Or rusted valve guides.
I bet it's stuck because of the way that it is.
Why not use the original motor and keep it a numbers matching resto?
@@ThePhillyfingers Economy of time and money. It would cost him time and money to tear down and free up the original 318. He has a 340 ready to go. By the looks of his channel, original is not really his thing. He is keeping the motor in case he changes his mind.
@@ThePhillyfingers Agreed. These cars are rare and way more rare with original number matching components. Easy mode with a junker swap is a shame to see when you can do it right with a rebuild. "Economically" shouldnt be factored in when taking in a project like this. Time and money should be expected to lost in great quantities on a pleasure project like this. Would like to see these revivals done with that in mind.
....but it's his car in the end. His video..our entertainment free of charge. I can appreciate that.
I absolutely love how instead of just drilling out the trunk lock, smashing the steering column, you took the time to take out the back seat, disassemble the steering column and do it right. Huge respect my man. I know it's a rare car and you have to save what you can, but I have seen so many lazy people in a hurry take the easy road and just start bashing.
Facts
It’s good to see young people like yourself working on the classics. Love the channel.
Is not a classic is a legend:)
Agreed
I'm disappointed that you're not going to go through the original engine. It's such an unusual factory optioned car. Base V8, 3 speed trans. and no power accs. Maybe you'll reconsider? Sometimes these supposedly "stuck" engines break free with the heads removed and some gentle pounding with a dead-blow and a chunk of wood. While Hot Rods are fun and unusual, a rare car is only original once. Please think it over.
Or at least keep it stored!
Yes, u the man Chuck!
it might be 'unusual optioned', but it's the least desirable options. He's already got the patina body charger, so i'd like to see him do this one back to factory-fresh.
Evil Ash I mean factory fresh would be keeping it with the weird options haha.
I would agree, unless he has no intentions of totally restoring this to showroom condition. Right now everything matches. My 2 cents worth of keep it that way. It’s not like it was a Hemi.
Can't wait to see how this build turns out!
5:11 the amount of poisonous spiders on the back of that seat man
Hey buddy be careful those are brown recluse spiders there. I Know those ones are dead but probably some live ones around too. Only thing wrong with your videos is there's not enough of them. Lol. Enjoy them very much. I'm a Ford man but also have a soft spot for old mopars too.
Brad Price
I love these too. I know they are hard work to do, but I could watch for hours. Beats the tube.
Naw, them wasn't brown recluses. Those are sac spiders, or southern house spiders. I'm from Florida, and we have them all over. Very frequently confused for the BR by folks.
Still it doesn't hurt to keep alert and use caution.
@@simeon2851 sure looks like them to me. Maybe I was wrong.
Everyone these days thinks everything is a brown recluse. No they are not. 90% of hospitals, clinics, and supposed experts (pest control) cannot identify a brown recluse. Stupid news media f'n with people for years with this retarded hysteria.
www.wired.com/2013/11/poor-misunderstood-brown-recluse/
spiderbytes.org/2015/06/08/how-to-tell-if-a-spider-is-not-a-brown-recluse/
Don't worry. Be happy. But do look out if you live in the states with the known populations of recluses.
2 people from the same house were bit by brown recluse about a mile from me in Michigan. I worked with them. They we're both out of work for about a week and when they came back they both had an "IV port" in their arm because they had to go to the hospital every day for the next week or 2 and have continuing IV treatments.
Nasty little F'ers!!!
I like his approach to take it easy, part by part for restoration and explaining everything while doing so.
said it before Dylan, but....sitting here sick and home from work....wife at work and kids in school . good i love these moments " with you " you make an awesome job - love to see how you spend some time with your " old " dad ...good i miss those times myself
That 360 will shake the rust off that challenger
I think I can smell the mice crap from here good times with old cars.keep it up💪
Ha P.E.T.A will be filing a formal protest against Dylan for leaving all those rats homeless that were living under the back seat!!
@9:57 - "check out what we can do now.....nice." Its the simple things that make us the happiest.
Nice archeological expedition on this old Challenger, looking forward to dropping that 360 in it.
Received my 2nd order of shirts and stickers this week, thank you!
The way you clearly carefully prepare and pack them is appreciated. You're a good guy, Dylan. I wear these shirts everywhere I can!
Probably swapping the engine was for the best anyway. That thing was dirty inside like no other and the replacement engine sounds great.
Wear gloves bro.. Dont touch that mess with your bare hands
Some respirator or at least a cheap face mask would also be advisable... god knows what shit is lying there in the dirt invisibly...
@John Doe Which one? If you mean my profile pic, it's not, my Trabi is yellow.
Coldwarmotors has an interesting way to unstick motors in the Straight 8 challenge. Maybe you can get a hydraulic ram with a fitting that will fit the spark plug threads.
Coldwarmotors should have many more subscriber's. Especially since they have been making videos for years.
the sound of all the chunks of rust stuck inside the hood and trunk was pretty crazy,
I _hope_ that you're planning on keeping the external look of the car as close to stock as possible. I _LOVE_ classic muscle cars, I admit I prefer GM -vs- Mopar, but ANY classic muscle car is well worth restoring!
My dad was a challenger fan he owned in his youth, he passed away today and I came across your video. Thank you he would've loved this so much!
Sorry for you loss. May he Rest in Peace. Prayers for you, family and friends.
The cool thing about this video is that it's simple. A passionate guy with simple tools not an advertising channel about someone who's bragging about how good they are...
Outstanding stuff sir. My son and I watch your content and can't wait for more. Got 1969 Bee and at 67 440 Coronet. No Car like Mopar.
What an amazing find it's truly sad that cars like this that are basically abandoned by people with good intentions are simply rotting away.
Everyone now thinks that the car they've let sit in the elements for the last 30 years or more is worth a pot of gold.
318 with 340 Heads, Intake and Six Pack will make that car a beast or yes the 360 would be a good choice.
Sorry I'm one of those idiots who comments as I watch...LOL
Thanks Dylan McCool's Dad! Awesome support of your son! Thanks Dylan McCool for great videos.
BTW - I look forward to finding out what happened to the original engine.
I like how working on old cars can tell you small parts about its history, my ‘68 SIIA ex army Land Rover had “KR 87” written inside the radiator fan where it bolts back to the water pump. Back in ‘87 KR changed the water pump. This is why restoring old cars is cool!
It's shot, BUT we can fix it... BUT we aren't going too... LOL... Love the video...
Thanks for another entertaining video. It's been a very long time since I've watched one ot your shows because of recovering from a stroke. Keep up the great work young man. Itseems you've built quite a following, and sponsorship too! I'm still very much a fan of yours. All the best to you and yours.
I don't know what is more amazing: How much you know your way around, and have access to, such beautiful Chryslers, or the fact that you have one of the last three 1st gen Kia Sportages that still runs! LOL
I have really fond memories of my dad and I overhauling the 304 out of my 79 cj7. This reminds of that time, thank you.
We knew there was no way you were going back with a 318! Haha. Cant wait to watch this build play out Dylan. Good luck Buddy!
I have a NOS ignition cylinder plus key that should work for this car. Still in the box. I won't charge a arm and a leg for it. I just really like this car lol
If you had commented before I got one I would've taken you up on the offer! Thanks 👍🏻
@@DylanMcCoolVideo put the 360 in it and use some gloves and a dusk mask! oh yeah paint it hemi orange!
Maybe a finger and a wrist? Or a knee cap and a skin graft for that cylinder?
I was just watching this video again and thinking even though it is rusty from sitting outside for 35 years it's awesome how this thing is basically unmolested like probably 99% of these cars have been by now. PO put him some chrome splash guards on the rear, changed the oil when it needed it, and took down a fence post/mailbox with the drivers door one Saturday night prob and parked it when it was about 10 years old. Also, ignore the ones complaining about all your different projects you've got going, this thing is what's gonna get the views and subs! Keep it up
Being a Mopar guy, I subscribed when I found your videos a few mins ago.
And thanks for James 5:16!! I needed to read that today. 🙏🙏
Thanks Dylan!! - Joe V
Your editing is awesome on your way to the top on here brother
Please rebuild the engine
If the car is in such a good shape stock you should keep it like that
My Grandmother was a McCool. Lucille McCool married Earl Sarles and my Mother was their first of 8 children. That was in Mayville Michigan. We are probably related. I love old cars too and was a mechanic from 1972-1991. Now I like to work on motorcycles because all parts are smaller and I am upper 60's & not as energetic as I once was. Like watching this stuff you are doing.
If that original engine was still in that Dodge Challenger today, the original engine would’ve celebrated its 50th birthday!!!!
When you lifted the hood it sounded like an avalanche lol. Awesome vid bud keep it up
Nice car. Id keep it original numbers matching. If possible.
Man...brings back memories of me working on my 1973 Challenger. It ran but needed a bunch of TLC. I also had a 1971 Challenger that I rebuilt the motor on it. Just great cars and great memories.
Congratulations you almost have 200000 subs good for you you deserve it
209k ☺
@@estonianperson1112 211k lol
I can’t believe you found all hubcaps
Him touching the paper with all those spiders right there gave me goosebumps and almost made me throw up
I like this car, and I like your 460 block, you should consider making this car a full resto and dialing it in as it has potential.
At the start of this video, Is praying Dylan understands the phrase "original engine" especially as you have the build sheet.
A tip: Remove/loosen that alternator belt before trying to spin the motor.
Why are you removing a hood by yourself?
ASMR - put up the underhood cleaning video at real-time speed. We motor heads love that stuff.
Dr. McCool breathing new life into old Mopars!
A good video and an interesting car. Manual brake, manual steering with either a 3 speed or 4 speed, I didn't catch which it was. The rear defroster is not to uncommon as they were very popular back at that time. It was only a few years before they went to rear windshield electric wire defrosters. Sometimes with a low optioned car like this you will see a rear speaker with a fader switch on the dash. When you are missing a set of keys on old cars feel under the dash for a magnetic hide a key. I have found more than a few when keys were missing, again popular back at that time. Easy to figure out if the engine was numbers matching by the vin on the block. Same goes for the trans. The 360 is a great idea. Those are really good engines that get ignored. A lot of people want the stroked 318 or a 340. I have had a few 360's and they always impressed me. I like the car especially the purple interior. Cool stuff.
Most good locksmiths can take the trunk lock cylinder and cut a key for the vehicle. The trunk cylinder has most if all tumblers to match the vehicle
Dylan, I admire what you do with these old Mopars, but I do have a request for ya. Take one of them and do a complete restoration. I know it may take a while, but it just may be worth it.
Maybe a truck one day.
Cars sold in New York State required a rear window defogger that may explain why this low option car had it. I like the 318 with the 3 speed stick. Does it have a foot operated pump on the floor for the windshield washers?
Curtis Fleabag The early Barracudas had a floor pump for the windshield wipers. It’s OEM, Mark Worman had one on Graveyard Cars.
Curtis Fleabag. I’ve seen this one from a restoration of a 1971 Barracuda. share.icloud.com/photos/0LkSFQBPwVc_3IGESqFL4C-1w
Good price for the 360. I just bought a complete Pontiac 400 4 barrel engine for the same price. Maybe I should film while I'm digging into it.
Plz do sir 🙏🙏
@@bradleyjohnson2273 Oh, thank you. I didn't know there would be much interest.
You are doing a great job ! Your parents have done a wonderful job raising you! One thing I don't understand why you are not retrieving the build sheet? You have it out in the elements in the back truck exposed and you are going to let it sit and rot and crumble and it then it will no longer be any good. Please carefully get that build sheet out and put it in a plastic protector they are very cheap.
6:17 "Spooky" 🤣 , i saw many years ago some animated show where the spider with big eye's did exactly the same face while peeking behind house radiator
I'm laughing so hard from that clip I actually thought he was driving😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe you ought to make that 318 into a 390 stroker!
I have a 1951 Jeep Willys wagon my uncle left it to me when he passed away 15 years ago and I have not been able to fix it due to financial problems and disability issues as well. I would love to get it up and running someday and take a picture to my uncle's grave to let him know we did it. But as time passed by my dreams keep fading away. Keep up the good work and God bless your Channel.
First Sponsor ad I ever encountered that I enjoyed😂...I fell for the shifting😅😅🥲
I have been waiting for this video!!! I can't wait to see the progress!!
Kerosene in the cylinders will break loose an engine
You can also use compressed air on your compression gauge extension to force the oil kero,atf,mmo etc mix into the cracks and crevices to help break things loose.
Diesel fuel will do the same
@@denmann364 Well diesel and kerosene are essentially the same
To be honest if I were to rebuild that 318 I'd turn it into a 330 stroker
Den Mann Yes sir. Diesel and transmission fluid mix will do wonders.
I'm so glad you decided to go with the 360. Nothing against the 318, I had one in my truck, but it's always more fun when you drop in a bigger engine :)
Putting the bolts back in their holes is a good tip. I do that with screws when I work on guitars. At least one of them always gets lost, never to be found again.
I absolutely love the options on this car, gotta admit I'm pretty envious too. Been trying to get my hands on a rough old Challenger for a while. Sorry I haven't been commenting much lately, been a terrible combination of very busy and in bad health. Had to go to the hospital the other day because I was so weak and sick I could barely move. Turns out I have a really bad bleeding ulcer. I lost so much blood I almost needed a transfusion.
Get well soon buddy
I hope you're feeling better now!
@@DylanMcCoolVideo Thanks man, I'm doing much better now but still recovering. Gotta go back to have a camera stuffed down my neck soon.
@@samarthbhargava7945 Thank you very much!
My gosh I’m this channel makes me so happy!
Yes the rings being welded to the cylinder walls is a common problem. I have had it happen to 3 engines , 2 440's and a 318 .
Hi Dylan I'm mark from the UK England I like your RUclips video on the dodge challenger but are you going to do a full rebuild on the dodge challenger and get it back to factory spec when it was new. Apart from the engine swap as the dodge challenger looks a very rare car now as it will be worth some money. Anyway Dylan hope to hear from you very soon and keep up the good work on the dodge challenger and also keep in the RUclips videos coming on the dodge challenger love to see her finished and re-painted and working. thank you from mark from the UK England
A built 360 short block $500. WoW !! SCORE!!
I'm excited for you should be super McCool
426 stroker kit for the 360 would be the ultimate. Maybe a little pricey. I didn't know they existed until I seen it on Nicks garage channel. Ultimate chrysler small block
@@nbowling10trio Nick's garage is great channel could offer up some good info
Hey man love that you're getting into that Challenger. I'd want to see the 360. But that's me. My wife's 71 Challenger is probably going to get a 318 until I make the 360 into a 408.
Dylan excellent progress on the Challenger! To bad it sat out for so long! A lot of rust repair in front of you but I am sure you will make it look good again. Looking forward to the next video!
Seeing 14 extensions always makes me smile.
Nice engine, it's almost a crying shame to bolt it to a 3 speed! ;)
"I even have a 360 I may con--" Yes.
Feel your pain. Picked up a 413 RB with an NP-540, and the Cylinder walls are rusted. Also the NP-540 was done after sitting for years full of water.
Wow! I really like watching your builds. I have a 1963 Lincoln Continental in the USA. I am out of the country right now. I was traveling the world. Covid 19 hit and I am in Thailand. No worries I love it here and it is super safe. Man I wish you would help me with my car. If I were there I would definitely send in my project.
Nice challenger man, cant wait to get my 70 going.
You deserve more subs
When he mentioned that he had a 360 I hoped he would use it. I'm really glad he did. I had a Dodge Ram Charger with the 360.
00:15 lol his face
when you're halfway down the track and your oil pressure is about half of what it used to be :P
Glad you're saving this car. I'm wondering if the cylinders on the 318 are rusted or grooved.
U cant trust someone who is advertising technology and still has an iPhone 5
My 75 monarch had both build sheets under the rear seat, with the signatures of the boys who built it. Cool stuff to find for sure
Awesome job Dylan. Meticulous approach wins the race. Great vision. I’m seeing this video for the first time, all of them so I won’t skip forward. Thanks for the stoke! Budlight
Hey this Chris ive been watching your videos for awhile and I was curious if your willing to sell the dodge after you repair it
That little ceramic rectangle with 2 wires attached to it on the firewall is a ballast resister. Blow that and you are f*cked. When I drove 70's chrysler products I kept 2 or 3 of those in the glove compartment along with a screwdriver.
Never had a ton of issues out of ballasts. That being said, this car won't have one with an upgraded ignition.
@@DylanMcCoolVideo I had a '78 winnebago class c with a dodge 1 ton chassis. LA block 360 and an automatic. Only replaced 2 resistors when I owned it but I remember my dad's trans-van with the same chassis. That thing ate resistors like a kid ate potato chips.
You can buy resistance wire now that drops a volt per inch of wire-3 inches of wire = 9 volts etc. Doesn't shake to bits like a ballast resistor.
My 74 Coronet - it would have been the identical engine almost. Internally and externally balanced, looking forward to learning about that. The 360 sure looks like a terrific rebuild.
Man this was the best ad read I’ve seen in a long time 😂😂
You can replace virtually any body panel and suspension and drive train part on these E bodies.
"tiny radiator... but it did the job"
Every Chrysler product i've owned from the 70s had overheating issues with a stock motor and needed an upgraded radiator.
Most of chevys problems now 😂
I love that the 5.9 L 360 magnum engine was used for this build.
Pressure wash in back yard ?
NOPE... Guess where krap goes ?
Local car wash !!!
Remember that one drop of oil can contaminate 10k gallons of water.
Im interested in what caused that engine to basically become unusable.
Abandonment or season, who knows
You just put Super Soul out of a job with that speaker. 🔊.😬
That original color on the inside of the trunk is awesome! If you ever take this project far enough to get a repaint, I hope you repaint it in the original color -- that'd be really pretty!!
Guarantee you that the engine is locked up because one of the intake valves was open while it was sitting -- moisture worked its way through the carb and intake and rusted that ring to the cylinder wall, just like you said. Damn shame. Looked like a great engine otherwise.
This is almost like ASMR or therapy, this series, this is really cool
Good ol' mopar
Удачи тебе друг, смотрю твой канал, ты молодец
360's are and can be real muscle engines. I have a stroked out 360 to 410 cu in and it was Mopar Performance's forst run of the 4 inch crank, back 20 yesrs ago, and i suspect it makes over 450 hp and probably over 450 ft lb torque.
Ported heads, intake, Holley 4150 HP and torque monster Comp Cam, 4" inch crank, good pistons. Never put it on the dyno yet
