Always enamoured with the cleaning guys knowledge of the fine details of so many different engines. Does he ever forget about anything he’s ever touched or seen.? I doubt it myself. Man you are a modest genius.
I feel like I should help pay for a gallon of gas since im going to be glued to this channel as you play around with old iron, mild-rpm builds, and this dyno
Ive retrofit al 901s with a your dyno kit. They product is pretty good, and the support is awesome. If all you really need is a horsepower/torque curve it can be done with a rasperry pie, influx and grafana. Its a great tool for breaking engines at varying loads and pct throttle.
I had a 1982 Malibu wagon that had a 267 V8 in it. People didn't believe me when I told them what engine it had. Most people have never heard of the 267.
Pretty cool to see you and your dad working together on projects without any issues. My father was a lot more animated when we were working together on the farm, he calmed down in his later years. I would like to see that engine installed in the D17 and what it takes to do it. I would also like to see the Dyno Buildout. I hope your family had a Merry Christmas and wish you all a Happy New Year. Thanks again for the Videos.
Congratulations guys! Setting up a proper dyno is no small thing. Another fantastic video that educates, motivates and entertains all at the same time. Thank you both for all that you put into every video!!!
Good show. Build the tractor. Build the dyno cell. Run what you have. It's plenty good enough for a small shop building mostly regular engines. You can set you own warning lights for loss of oil pressure or something. And the numbers are good enough. As long as you can print out what you get to give a customer, you're good enough 😊
You're looking for the shape of the curve. Not the numbers at the side. The tests you did told you exactly what you needed to know - where the peak torque is, and that you specced the parts correctly. Great job!
Needed this a couple years ago when breaking my my old mercruiser 470. My old man and I used our engine stand, some blocks and a ratchet strap. Wasn't sketchy at all.
I dig it!! In my high school, we had a dyno and I wanted to use it so bad!! Teacher said no😢. I'd love to see a tutorial on how to run one, all the switches and knobs!
We have a SF 902, my boss ditched the hydraulic throttle system years before I joined the company for a good old morse cable system. It's problem free, plus it gives all sorts of options to actuate other throttle bodies/etc.
Very cool!! This old 71 year old guy really enjoys watching you guys work on different projects. I hope to see the 267 mounted in the D17 soon. Thanks guys!!!
one thing you might be able to do is get some of the electronics modernized to get higher refresh rates to your output screen. the baud rate is so low you can see the redraw cursor on the terminal output. it'd be cool (to me at least) to see this dyno kept authentic but turned up to modern sampling rates
The eternal beauty of the SBC - mix and match parts for whatever your heart desires! Even a tractor plant!!! I'd love to see the D17 swap completed - the mid-60s versions had a nice hot rod grill. Then set up a match race pull with one of the flathead V8 9Ns out there at a tractor show! Not a massive weight; just a harrow or something.
Happy New Year to you guys and your family. I love watching Father and son working together. That's lost these days, also the younger generation taking the torch and continuing the legacy. Great video, guys
Awesome aspect of the world of quality rebuilding, it will certainly allow you to verify the quality and allow to break-in a motor with verified results.
I wish I were in your area. I would love to replace all the capacitors (probably needs that given its age) on that machine and reverse engineer the protocol it's using to output to the dumb terminal. It should be "easy" to make a new computer interface with all the bells and whistles.
Would be a good way to go about it. I've seen where a sweet looking, brand new DAQ systems, cards, sensors, blah blah blah was used to replace an old system (not very cool or modern looking) and only had issues after. Should have just gotten a "re-skin"
Thanks for the video on your engine run stand. Seems to run just fine except for the older technology which I don’t think is of concern to you. Will be interesting to see this motor in your D17 tractor. Excellent video. Good engine stand. Thanks for checking it out Jim and Nicholas. The retired Air Force veteran. 😊🦅👍🇺🇸
If you look at dyno Joe's channel he primarily does chainsaws and it's not about what numbers come up on the screen, but rather consistently and comparing the same builds. I've got at least 3 2bbls Rochesters if you need 1 for that engine.
The intake needs to be Dual Plane! the Flow bell Always Kills Power as Demonstrated by Engine Power... Use the Dyno as it is there are not many left like it.. Dyno cell more water formed Concrete Outside with Exhaust and fresh Air.. i have some dual plane 2 brl intakes and carbs if you want to put the 2brl carb on it for the tractor will probably work better than that for the Application, i would like to Barter.... I figured you had the Dyno when you ran the Engine on the Dyno stand the last couple of times to break in a engine..
Yes. Don't even need more floor space. Just get 3-4 rad's above the tank and feed return to one, and daisy chain them. A fan for each one would be good, and no need to waste floor space.
nice dyno = I'd watch your version of engine masters any day. One suggestion, keep a log of all the runs. You'll be able to see your operator skills improve over time. It will also help with upgrade decisions. Last, you need to build a mule that fits the dyno a bit better.
Made me remember back when I was a hotrod loving teen, circa late 60's early 70's I remember whenever a Dyno was mentioned in any of my Magazines I subscribed to, they always referred to dynos as "Water Break Dynamometer" and not sure why, but I never questioned what other types of Dynos there were. Of course now I know, a Dynamometer can be a gauge that measures torque, and a water break Dyno measures Torque and calculates HP based on torque at specific RPMs.
Water brakes are best for tractors and the like, the ones where you accelerate heavy rollers and calculate the power from the resulting acceleration are better for tuning for driveability.
I've heard that the issue plaguing flat tappet stuff isn't a materials problem, but a machining issue. lots of failures related to there not being a dish on the lifters, so they don't rotate and wipe the lobe off rhe cam.
I think it may be an education issue - it was religion in my group of hot rodders, but I see people starting new flat tappet motors online and letting them idle with no discussion about break-in or the consequences of not performing it. I haven't heard of people's cams going flat when the break in was followed. Unless they use cheap parts.
Absolutely put the 267 in the D17! It was very cool to see the engine y’all had rebuilt running in the old Jeep/Willys, so I think this would be just as satisfying!😁👍🏼
Ah, the good ole days. When I went to community college in the early 80's and got my auto/diesel degree, they didn't even have anything this advanced. For diesel we had an eddy current dyno with an ancient CAT 4 cylinder on it for testing and a hydraulic dyno with a larger 6 cyl diesel on it. Those were in cells and had remote controls and analog gauges. For automotive engines, we had GoPower manual dynos that mounted on the bell housing and the control was on the unit so you were right there if something blew up. We had a small Pontiac 302 turbo engine on one. The coupling broke and shot out of the clutch fork hole on the bell housing. They had two chassis dynos>>one for heavy trucks and one for cars. None had electronics of any kind.
I trust 80's electronics more than modern...sure more bells and whistles...but they built em to last back then I am sure you can capture all the data that is spit out and put it into some sort of software that will calculate the pretty graphs and stuff for you Heck I bet an Raspberry Pi could do all that with a bit of coding...heck they may even have an open source release to upgrade that dyno you have What model dyno is that? Very awesome and it sounds like a beast...plus upgrading that 4 banger to a V8 is definitely going to give it the oomph it needs! Keep em coming!!!!
Re using oil I've reused oil that had ~ 100 miles on it after the motor pushed a head gasket to coolant. The motor never overheated or got water in the oil. While the head was off, I put in new pistons , rings, rod bearings and ground the valves. No use wasting good oil.
"In hindsight, we might... we have no idea what we're doing..." I love this channel. Happy New Years! p.s. next time, jr, just turn the engine off... don't stand there and tell dad, "Your spark plug wire is melting." LOL p.s.s. take that engine to another garden variety dyno to get a baseline comparison
@@JAMSIONLINE on the plus side, the calm in the midst of the meltdown... [not to mention the same time the uncanny ability to describe ownership of the wire!!!!] was admirable... there's always a positive takeaway somewhere. Can't wait to see that dyno all dialed in - the analog gauges are cool.
l would love to see you install this chevy small block in on of the finest farm tractors ever built the D-17 Allis chalmers please a old farmer from central North Carolina love you guys work
Tractor with 110 hp and a 15:1 torque multiplier ( estimated and depends on the type and gearing of transmission and tires). That would be a Beast in a Tractor!
The thing is perfect for exactly what you needed for. Verification and testing of agency just finished putting together before they leave the shop. Now I kind of want to go hunting and see if one of those is by me I can buy and hang on to just in case
Throw a 2 barrel on it with a belt driven governor (like off a welder/generator to keep a steady rpm in the field) and send it. An extra long runner intake manifold would probably help as well.
Great video this week! I'm also amazed you actually made a Fitech system work for more then 20 minutes 😂, put one on my 67 Monaco 383 and it never made it past a 15 minute drive
This is great fun! For the carb I guess a generic 2BBL would be plenty and readily available. As to the Dyno, heck, it is a fun toy and kinda neat to play with to see how tractor engine builds come up. Nicholas should be able to sort this out and have an interesting aspect to engine rebuilding going forward.
hey guys hope you all well and blessed from the Christmas and new Year holidays, with you guys working on both old and newer motors you need both types of engine setups so you have the right setup on testing for sure. nice old motor enjoy your work.
Add a couple Banks Power Data Monster gauges and you'll have all the data acquisition you can handle all fed to a micro sd card that can be exported to graphing software
That motor sounds healthy and it is going to have more than enough power for the tractor. I have confidence y'all will get the Dyno dialed in with time and experience.
so when did you get a Dyno this is awesome can't wait until you build a real room for it and Modern electronics to go with it build it to test engines up the 1500 HP what a great addition to your shop Just do it up right and cheap it out .
Hey guys, Nice to see you back! “Happy New Year “ While you were off I watched a guy from the UK work on an American La France V12 and its weird head design reminded me of your Moline engine head work! He is doing all his work in his home garage so, not up to your machinists standards but, very educational. His channel is called “ Bracket Factory “ in case you aren’t familiar with the La France engine ( I believe it’s from a fire truck? As always stay safe and healthy and Happy New Year!
As for your Dyno. You may want to look into and integrate some of the data equipment out in the performance industry….should be able to graph through software program…almost any mount of sensors can be added to the system Aim products is what is most familiar to me…Aim uses Race Studio3 software for the analytics…could blend old and new for fraction of the cost of a new one
I’m Voting JAMSI #1 2024, All round best Shop channel on the web. Unbeatable character, Wisdom accumulated found only here, wide variety of New & Old Iron, heritage engines and equipment car - tractors OIL Derics, etc. Nobody else is even comes close to doing what you guys do!
Not sure but assuming that you are using a serial terminal emulator on you MBP. You might find someone that will write a conversion for the raw data to a raspberry Pi and display it in a more graphical format on a bigger screen. since it's serial you can send it to your PC/MBP for recall or complicate the Pi more with that task as well. also could you not put a rad outside with a couple thermostatic controlled fans and keep the circulation water at or close to ambient? Love watching your stuff reminds me of all the time I spent building and racing.
Agree, take the one time hit for a good dyno from someone you trust and then test on your's until you can replicate it. Training until hitting known good will ramp up your skills, as will a 6-pack Friday's afternoon at your trusted dyno for some dyno mentoring.
It is amazing the abuse these small blocks will take and still hang in there. Before I knew better, I would take the things to 7 or 75 hundred. The bottom end was really tough for stock engine!
You have plenty of water , you just need to cool it which can be done just by letting it fall over a cooling tower that has slats in it to slow the water down allowing air to cool it. You have that pond out there where you can run a loop under the water so the pond water draws the heat off.
How reliable 80´s electronics is? I take that any time. I use a lot of measuring stuff older than that and it sometimes need new electrolytic capacitors but that´s usually it. I have a piece with caps in it next to 60ys old and still in spec. Get Yourself a chinesium transistor/parts checker and a meter that can do capacity as a starting point. Go from there. And the service manuals for this Fighting Star Galactica… Please keep the terminal or give it to like Usagi Electric- he absolute can use that. Or colab with him to get what You need, Usagi is a wiz with old (OLD!) computers. But this Galactica is cool. I think You´re waiting too long at the 2K rev before initializing the run and as the run ends pull back faster. This thing seems about feel and sound and the green numbers screen is way cooler than these graphs. Aren´t they just data points on a time scale? Can´t an oscilloscope display them? -It´s so awsome that You saved this. And the sound is great, You have to run this thru a good stereo- feel the rumble! Happy New Year!
Should the cleaning guy finish his V8 swapped Allis Chalmers D17?
Of course
Duh
Totally!!!!
You know we gotta see that, Quit teasing me. Awesome job Engine sounds great.
Sure !!!
Always enamoured with the cleaning guys knowledge of the fine details of so many different engines. Does he ever forget about anything he’s ever touched or seen.? I doubt it myself. Man you are a modest genius.
That is called WISDOM, which is gained by experience and going to the school of hard knocks!
I feel like I should help pay for a gallon of gas since im going to be glued to this channel as you play around with old iron, mild-rpm builds, and this dyno
Haha appreciate that!
Nice!! I had a 267 in a 79 El Camino. It never let me down. I always said because it didn't have enough HP to hurt itself.
To The Cleaning Guy and Nick Happy New Year 🎊

Hurray ...dyno runs are added to the builds....great content...thanks...🔧🔧👍
I am so impressed at the way Jim encourages his son. He moves forward no matter what. A man to be respected!
Hot rod tractors? Absolutely!
For 2000 rpm put on a 283 two bbl. Manifold and a Rochester 2 bbl. Carburator
Or an equivalent throttle body injection kit, Holley Sniper
Was going to recommend a Quadrajet but given the size and power (lack there of), a 2bbl is all it needs
if you guys start dynoing your engines you will hit that million way faster
Saw the dyno and went to subscribe and realized I'm already subscribed
Great job , would love to see the Chevy engine in the D17
The cleaning guy sure is gonna be busy. I’m always so impressed with his depth of knowledge
Commodore 64 Dyno FTW!
I'd love to see a C64 hooked up! Looks like it'd have plenty of HP to do it with the current setup.
I had a 1982 Malibu wagon that had a 267 V8 in it. People didn't believe me when I told them what engine it had. Most people have never heard of the 267.

hell yes V8 swap the Allis Chalmers V8 tractors are always fun and do a damn good job pulling a load
Much better for the gears with even power pulses, the opposite of an old Johnny Popper
When you start doing dyno’s for customers request you will gaining more subscribers which should climb very fast. I love dyno pulls period.
Love the dyno and cant wait to see it in the tractor! You guys are great, and thank you!
Very cool!! This old 71 year old guy really enjoys watching you guys work on different projects. I hope to see the 267 mounted in the D17 soon. Thanks guys!!!
Thanks for watching!!!
Very cool, making old tools work with modern electronics and seeing the amazing interchangea ability of the small block chevy
In the mid 80's in Oregon there was a guy that had a Massy Harris.. I think.. that had a 283 in it. It was AWESOME..so do it!!
Thanks for sharing 👍 and Happy New Year to you and your family 😊
one thing you might be able to do is get some of the electronics modernized to get higher refresh rates to your output screen. the baud rate is so low you can see the redraw cursor on the terminal output. it'd be cool (to me at least) to see this dyno kept authentic but turned up to modern sampling rates
Thanks!
Appreciate it!
Yay!! Cleaning Guy's Speed Shop is in the groove!! Hope y'all had a lovely Christmas and a very happy, healthy New Year!!
The eternal beauty of the SBC - mix and match parts for whatever your heart desires! Even a tractor plant!!! I'd love to see the D17 swap completed - the mid-60s versions had a nice hot rod grill. Then set up a match race pull with one of the flathead V8 9Ns out there at a tractor show! Not a massive weight; just a harrow or something.
Happy New Year to you guys and your family. I love watching Father and son working together. That's lost these days, also the younger generation taking the torch and continuing the legacy. Great video, guys
I was wanting to see you guys run some of your builds. This is awesome
Awesome aspect of the world of quality rebuilding, it will certainly allow you to verify the quality and allow to break-in a motor with verified results.
I wish I were in your area. I would love to replace all the capacitors (probably needs that given its age) on that machine and reverse engineer the protocol it's using to output to the dumb terminal. It should be "easy" to make a new computer interface with all the bells and whistles.
Would be a good way to go about it. I've seen where a sweet looking, brand new DAQ systems, cards, sensors, blah blah blah was used to replace an old system (not very cool or modern looking) and only had issues after. Should have just gotten a "re-skin"
Just loved the trick of using the prybar as a listening device
That's not a prybar, it's a long screwdriver.....which is sometimes the same thing lol
Thanks for the video on your engine run stand. Seems to run just fine except for the older technology which I don’t think is of concern to you.
Will be interesting to see this motor in your D17 tractor.
Excellent video. Good engine stand.
Thanks for checking it out Jim and Nicholas.

What you may lack in dyno you guys shure make up for in good work!👍❤️
Nice!
Dyno suggestion: plumb in a large radiator on hinges attached to the IBC frame to solve the cooling problem
Yes.
Don't even need more floor space.
Just get 3-4 rad's above the tank and feed return to one, and daisy chain them.
A fan for each one would be good, and no need to waste floor space.
I love that fallout terminal
That engine is going to do awesome in that tractor 👍👍
Awesome job guys and keep up the great work on your new project dyno machine 👍❤️🙏🏻
Old Allis Chalmers are sweet tractors
I'd put a Rochester 2GC carb on it and add a Carb Cheater from Thunderhead289 to keep the AFRs perfect.
i dig the analog gauges with the mac book emulator. That terminal reminds me of a Commodore PET.
nice dyno = I'd watch your version of engine masters any day. One suggestion, keep a log of all the runs. You'll be able to see your operator skills improve over time. It will also help with upgrade decisions. Last, you need to build a mule that fits the dyno a bit better.
Heck yeah i want to see that go into a tractor. I want to see all the details of the bellhousing, clutch, pressure plate and motormounts.
I love these kind of videos. Sure wish I had a dyno 😊

Definitely build a dyno cell ! Great addition to the channel 👏

Tractor with 110 hp and a 15:1 torque multiplier ( estimated and depends on the type and gearing of transmission and tires). That would be a Beast in a Tractor!
Great video! Can’t wait for future tests. Happy New Year!
Ooooh heck yeah, i want to see the hot rod tractor
That was fun! Happy new year Jim, Nick and family.

I love tractor videos . I love to see the finish product.
Edelbrock Performer Dual Plane aluminum intake manifold, Holley 600 cfm square bore carb, rams horn cast iron manifolds, 2 1/4 " exhaust with single muffler for best torque.
Great job!!! You should get a copy of engine analyzer pro, you’ll be speccing cams and designing engine packages in no time!

hey guys hope you all well and blessed from the Christmas and new Year holidays, with you guys working on both old and newer motors you need both types of engine setups so you have the right setup on testing for sure. nice old motor enjoy your work.
Add a couple Banks Power Data Monster gauges and you'll have all the data acquisition you can handle all fed to a micro sd card that can be exported to graphing software
Oh, and any EFI setup with an oxygen sensor needs a bunch of collector after the sensor to prevent reversion influencing the information it sees.
It’s got ~18” after the sensor as per the instructions
That motor sounds healthy and it is going to have more than enough power for the tractor. I have confidence y'all will get the Dyno dialed in with time and experience.
so when did you get a Dyno this is awesome can't wait until you build a real room for it and Modern electronics to go with it build it to test engines up the 1500 HP what a great addition to your shop Just do it up right and cheap it out .

Not sure but assuming that you are using a serial terminal emulator on you MBP. You might find someone that will write a conversion for the raw data to a raspberry Pi and display it in a more graphical format on a bigger screen. since it's serial you can send it to your PC/MBP for recall or complicate the Pi more with that task as well. also could you not put a rad outside with a couple thermostatic controlled fans and keep the circulation water at or close to ambient? Love watching your stuff reminds me of all the time I spent building and racing.
Agree, take the one time hit for a good dyno from someone you trust and then test on your's until you can replicate it. Training until hitting known good will ramp up your skills, as will a 6-pack Friday's afternoon at your trusted dyno for some dyno mentoring.
What?! What are you going to do to that beautiful old D17?
Interesting engine project.I like odd engine combinations and to see what they do.That engine would be cool in a flat fender willys jeep.
Yes I want to see it in a tractor!!!!
Happy New Year.
You shouldn't even ask! Of course we wanna see this in a tractor! 😮
It is amazing the abuse these small blocks will take and still hang in there. Before I knew better, I would take the things to 7 or 75 hundred. The bottom end was really tough for stock engine!
A Holley 350 0r 500 2bbl is perfect for that engine.. Great content..
You have plenty of water , you just need to cool it which can be done just by letting it fall over a cooling tower that has slats in it to slow the water down allowing air to cool it. You have that pond out there where you can run a loop under the water so the pond water draws the heat off.
You might be able to export to excel and use pivot table function to get your graph. Obviously only a snap shot but might help
How reliable 80´s electronics is? I take that any time. I use a lot of measuring stuff older than that and it sometimes need new electrolytic capacitors but that´s usually it.
I have a piece with caps in it next to 60ys old and still in spec. Get Yourself a chinesium transistor/parts checker and a meter that can do capacity as a starting point. Go from there.
And the service manuals for this Fighting Star Galactica… Please keep the terminal or give it to like Usagi Electric- he absolute can use that. Or colab with him to get what You need, Usagi is a wiz with old (OLD!) computers. But this Galactica is cool. I think You´re waiting too long at the 2K rev before initializing the run and as the run ends pull back faster.
This thing seems about feel and sound and the green numbers screen is way cooler than these graphs. Aren´t they just data points on a time scale? Can´t an oscilloscope display them? -It´s so awsome that You saved this. And the sound is great, You have to run this thru a good stereo- feel the rumble! Happy New Year!
What tractor pulling class would that be if that motor was in the Allis Chalmers?
262. I had one in my Chevy Monza.
No, this started out as a 267. Look them up, 3.5" bore with a 3.48" stroke. This engine has been bored to 3.530" with a 3.75" stroke crankshaft.
@@JAMSIONLINE I was not aware of the 267, sorry about that.
