I CAN'T WIN! - NewMadd Motor Has To Come Out!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- So, I have been drive this fine 1955 Chevy Nomad for a couple weeks and it has been pretty darn good. The only real issue I have had was the clutch chattering. So the transmission needed to come out.
I decided to pull the whole motor/transmission so I can detail the engine bay and give the running gear a quick clear/paint

Dude, that engine & trans have probably been leaking for years. It would be futile to clean everything up, & paint it, only to have it leak all over everything, again. I'd definitely remove the intake manifold, v. covers, pan, dampener & timing chain cover, fuel pump, and reseal everything. I'd be sure to clean the oil pump pickup. I'd replace the water, & fuel pumps w/ top quality components. Inspect the timing chain, replace if needed.
And a set off freeze plugs ?
@@hansnordstrom2373Core plugs…
Spot on! Oh, and a torque/RV cam.
Right on Bat5917 , And a set of headers with quiet true duel exhaust with electric cutouts !!! LOL Tunnel Ram for better flow might as well help flow with better exhaust also !!! More power for pulling the Nova home from Georgia !!!
Dan, I love the dog dish hubcaps. And I love the original look, and I love the fact you wanna piss off the internet. Love your videos.
I think most of us don't care what you do. We just enjoy watching.
I'm with you brother. I've been a professional mechanic for a very long time now. Most days I would rather sit back and watch other people work. Plus, it's Dan's car and Dan's money. He can do whatever he wants. The viewers shouldn't have any say in the matter.
Exactly! This is a free show! Ignore the peanut gallery! Dan and Dani are the best.
Use the newer ramshorn manifolds (57 up).goes easy from there for duals. If trans has no mount boss should be coarse spline clutch. Early bell and 3 bolt starter uses large dia. flywheel and 11inch clutch. Was buying 5 thru 7 chevies in the mid 1960's . Muncey 4spd bolts right in. Driveshaft is right lenght.
Also that trans should have coarse output. splines imput &
Agree but a set of headers would give him a bit more power !!! And painted white would help detail it like the "models" were!!!
I agree I was also going to suggest the ram horn style manifolds if he wasn’t going to go with headers since they tend to look cooler and you can even get fancy chrome ones. With that said Dan already decided he’s putting a tunnel ram on it so if history tells us anything that means a set of fender well dumps or long tubes are probably right around the corner. 🤷♂️
@@wrongwayroger2519On a relatively stock 327 the amount of horsepower gained with a set of headers is marginal at best. Add in a nice free flowing dual exhaust and you get a nice sound. A louder exhaust makes you think it has more power. You can use the rams horn manifolds with a good set of duals and have trouble free driving for quite some time. We all know the issues that headers bring with them. To each their own.
@@justingould7348 Yup, those exhaust manifolds are just like the ones on my 265. They are super restricted. If Danny, doesn’t do headers, he can get a set of 327 high performance rams horn manifolds. If he can’t find a stock set, they are reproduced.
I have a 56 I put speedway 2 1/2 ram horns . Look stock breath much better.
I just did the same swap on my 57 136.00 at speedway free shipping
Get the over drive working. Cable to the in/out lever , toggle switch the solenoid , easy peasy. By the looks ,rear main might be leaking causing clutch chatter. and might as well do timing chain too.
You always figure it out and I just sit back and watch! Easy Peasy! 😁👍
Even if it's just for one day , please put some nice looking wheels an Take them dog dishes away..please
An under dash universal ac unit , power steering, and drive it . Just drive it.
Buy some fender covers. So when you put things on the fenders it does not scratch the paint.
At least old bath towels always some hangin around....
He does things the hardest way possible because that gets more comments.
I think that guy…what’s his name? You know, the one with the dog named Duff…he sells fender covers. Mortske fender covers on DD Speed Shop projects 👍💪😂
And tools don’t fall off.
Hey Dan, over the years and hundreds of engines I've pulled, I've found that when pulling engine and trans together, jack up the rear of the car to gain more angle to clear core support. It helps with the installation too. Keep up the good work.
I love the show but it aggravates me that you use the fenders to hold your wrenches use a fender cover but I like everything else do
I just want to know if you broke the heater core and yes danny hub caps suck lol
Put ram horn manifolds on it. They flow almost as good as headers and will match that 327 great.
Not a fan of the wheels and caps. Just my opinion.
Do a hillbilly rebuild on your motor new valve cover gaskets, oil PAN gaskets and the timing chain.
The rest is okay as long as you've got good oil pressure. That's not smoking too bad. Just make sure the leaks all stop.
Yeah, we don't need another Exxon Valdez.
Hi Dan .. those exhaust manifolds are very rare.. they came only on a ‘55 or ‘56 ..265 V-8 .. I am building an original ‘55 265 numbers matching V-8 and off the internet I had to pay 150.00 American dollars each for those exhaust manifolds .. please don’t throw them away .. I would use them ..only about 15 hp lost on original exhaust manifolds from headers .. they look great on that car they are period correct. This is just my opinion but the large Bel-Air original hubcaps would look very nice and once again period correct.. Your Nomad to me is basically an original car and that would be my theme on the outside and 60’s hot Rod in the drivetrain area .. also the Daisys would be very nice on the Nomad .. I grew up in the 60’s and we all put on Mag wheels to make a statement that this car is mean as hell .. I painted a ‘55 hardtop that color of the Nomad and it was called Regal Turquoise Metallic.. and everyone liked it because it is an original color for ‘55 ..
Where did we all come from?
Who built the pyramids?
Where does Dan find 286.75 hours in one day?
Will we ever really know?
Careful!!! when you use the "nit pick cleaning and refurbishing" phrase.
That is what I did when I bought my 69 corvette sportwagon,
Was just gonna upgrade the distributer and ignition, change out anything rubber hose wise, the car sat 20 plus years.
That was 3 years ago I started this trip, ended up pulling the heads, due to a mud dobber built a nest in number 7 cylinder, now I'm basically putting in all new gaskets in the motor, and fixing everything or upgrading everything,
I've made 4 attempts putting the driverside head on, finally kicked its butt, instead of it kicking mine, now got to do passenger side head,
Progress is slow, but gaining....
It's your car, do it your way....we'll watch anything!!
I've been saying that all along.I enjoy watching this show. It's great to see the younger generation highly interested in old classic cars.
Mite as well put a 1 piece oil pan gasket and freeze plugs while you have it out . Just saying that's me . Not my car
If you're going to put a tunnel ram on it at least put headers on it so it can breathe! Don't make it run like a rookies car that just makes vacuum cleaner sounds and fouls plugs.
Probably a 327 block with the top of the 283. Just need it going again.
If the block / heads are 60s do a 4 bolt main 400 sbc
I’d find and have an 1958 corvette small block (period correct)
Aluminum painted oil pan pro oil pump
If the engine came out of a pickup truck, the engines were blue from the factory.
Greetings Dan and Dani I like the dog dish hub caps as well but the black wheels get lost someone else suggested that if you painted them body color they would really stand out and I agree Mike
i think you previously mentioned an automatic with od and vintage air, that would be the direction I would consider. they dropped the 3-speed manual with od for a reason! The dog dishes look cool But it would also look good with rally wheels.
305" were GM blue, 307" were Chevy red/orange. 56 SBC was red, 57 265" was yellow and 283" was Chevy red/orange. I get conflicting info on the 55s , some say 265" was gray/blue and some say orange. Maybe it depended on the manufacturing plant.
chrome reverse with baby mooms. thats the look for this one.
Put new bushings on your shifter linkage?😊
I just want to know if you broke the heater core and yes danny hub caps suck lol
My 2 cents. As an original piece
Theirs a guy that hones out / ports aluminum intakes . . .
I’d machine / port the heads new bigger valves mild springs
Port the intake and exhaust, pro aluminum water pump (painted), pro harmonic balancer, aluminum pulleys painted, pro timing chain, timing chain cover aluminum painted
The tranny pro built stage 3 gears and internals
Level 2. Pro cam, a new pro 750 cfm carb painted high rise adapter(painted)
All new pro studs and all stainless bolts
Pro linkage for carb and short shift tranny adapt
My gosh, you use the word pro a lot! Did you hear that from someone or what? I spent 40 years selling preformance & stock parts plus building engines & transmissions for vehicles & I never had anyone who actually worked as a mechanic use the word pro, only the wannabes wanting to sound like they knew what they were talking about when in fact they were just showing they didn't have a clue.
Them are powerpack heads nothing special .
Another hack job!!! So many!
I love the “I know what you’re thinking but bear with me” vibe as Dan announces the engine is coming out. If you’re not swatting flies with a sledgehammer, you’re doing it wrong
Have you considered the Sanderson exhaust header manifolds for 55 Chevy?
Rattle can rebuild time 😊
My ocd wouldn't allow me to leave the hood and roof like that I would have to fix it
Did somebody challenge you to a competition of how many motor/trans you can install and remove in 2024? Or are ya looking for a personal best?❤️🇨🇦
Are you doing the "Power Tour" this year Dan ?
Dan brother you and I have similar issues mine Ford though lol rock on man much inspiration thanks
Probably wouldve taken a total of 40 seconds to just undo the clamps and remove the hoses instead of cutting them like you're pulling a motor from a junkyard. Been doing youtube for 5 years and a car this nice still treating it like a junkyard car. Crazy.
Stated that all lines were being replaced. So quicker to cut. Also said all new hose clamps would be used.
@mj_slender6717 Doesn't matter. It's a bad habit people watching this may pick up. First time pulling a motor in your life I get it. But regardless if they are being replaced it's laziness and poor work ethic.
What are the hubcaps from? My inquiring mind needs to know. I LOVE them!!
Dude!!! I can't watch anymore!!! You cleaning making things shiny!!! And fender covers ( T-shirt)!!! And Mortske using new head gaskets!!! You all are getting soft in your RUclips money!!! What next!!? behind the scenes mechanics!!! Lol!!! Great video!!!✌️
PUT A DAMN HOOD BAR ON IT!
I like the "dog-dish" hub caps. They have sooooo much more class than let's say, big rims/low profile tires that are seen on a lot of goofy looking cars.
LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY GOODNESS....HE FINALLY REALIZED WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING.....
COMING FROM YOU THATS EARTH SHAKING!!!!
Sweet patina sauce on everything
Paint rails, new bushings pro modern springs (right stance, right body roll,)
Paint like old colors super pro shocks
"What am I caught on now? My life!" Classic line. Hilarious.
I loved that too. The other great sequence was, Dan: What do I need? Dani: A new hobby. hahahaha I love these two, they're the modern-day Honeymooners.
Doug here........DD Speed Shop fan.........Dan, since you pull approximately 10-20 engines per week, do you ever use a load leveler with the ole cherry picker? I've never noticed you using one.
Add power steering and AC
ok.. so at which point, exactly, did this strictly become a 'while i'm there' job?? with how much you are paying on this... it would be just crazy to NOT go thru everything... you set it up how YOU like.. screw US.. we don't have to drive this!! take the greasy dirt of and paint... leave the 'patina'
DON’T TOUCH THOSE HUBCAPS! lol. Car looks perfect as-is. Including the aged enamel paint.
I'm a diehard steelie-n-dog dish guy. But these black wheels and mid-60s dishes just ain't the right vibe for this gorgeous girl. They have a muscle car/bad boy look. Great for your other Nomadd, but not this one. Painting them body color would be a nice upgrade. Maybe even throw some trim rings on them.
Its out, its right there, New gaskets on all the tins, remove and block the tube on the back of the intake( unless you replacing the intake without a open crank ventilator, I am thinking the motor at one point may have been painted to kind of match the body, then someone else painted the orange from the top as a 327 would not have been GM corporate Blue. I am right certain a 283 powerpack heads( double hump) on a 327 make that a 327/300 HP, 375 heads would have been 327/375 horse heads.Double hump with a triangle in the middle. I think that is actually an mechanics motor, best heads on a good motor.
painful to watch!
You should put a 4 speed and floor shifter in. It would be so much ore enjoyable to drive that way.
If you run a tunnel ram run headers so she can breathe and a five speed future dan will love it
Great video!! With as much as you use your engine hoist I'm surprised you haven't changed the ram to an air over hydraulic ram. They're only around 120.00 US at Harbor Freight. Everyone I know that have done there's absolutely love them & wish they had done it sooner. Thanks for the awesome content!!
Yes that's the power pack marking should be a 194-150 valve
The dual point heads were 327 Power Pack heads w 194 intake/160 exhaust valves
Those un synroed 3 on the trees are trash
Good Idea Dan !!! It`s like preventive maintenance and nobody likes a chattering clutch !!! Maybe you could find a real nice, cherry hood for the `Ol Girl, just to top it all off, LOL.Very nice Nomad !!! Yep, those are power-pack heads; great for a 283. Rave-On Danni and Dan !!!
Im totally onboard with the "clean up and paint like we're 16"... Its kinda what I do, even though 16 may have been 30ish years ago. Some ram horns would be a solid choice to simplify the exhaust and go duals, without getting crazy... BTW, I like the wheel and hubcap choice. The people bitching about them are the same group of clowns that think you should have kept the Camaro!!
Are you guys hitting the Power tour in Bowling Green Kentucky?
I'm glad you are cleaning that engine Danny!!! And redoing the clutch and pressure plate brother! Smart thinking!!!
The thing I like about your videos and Prince videos is that you keep me interested in your projects and I don't get bored. I think that of all the builders I watch You and Brent😅 are the best
Dan, Brent, Penny's, Fitzee, Frank's garage, Karl all good Canadian channels
Just use Wingnuts on everything, you can change motors with NO tools...
Hello there cowboy here again as for this car if it ain't broke don't fix it the one thing I would consider is painting the booster and master components flat black the shiny chromish just don't look right.just saying I know in the end you're gonna do whatever you do but you asked anyway remember always be safe healthy and happy God Bless 🤠
My fault. I knew what I was in for when I saw the title ‘too much free time on my hands, too much money to burn - the make work project.’ These are starting to become VERY canadian…
You might check closely for numbers in the stamp pad on the front. I found that Pontiac put Chevy engines in the Canada cars that were painted blue. Maybe who ever built the car painted the engine to match the car color. There are casting numbers on the block and heads that tell the month day and year for the block/heads. Don't remember for sure but with that vent tube on the back of the block it must be before "66. Keep up the good work. BTW, put a new bushing in the crank while you have the trans out
Shorty headers are cheap and not loud. Great way to begin a modern exhaust. An RV cam for a bit more torque. Engine orange, polish valve covers 👍
Should go block hugger headers, give you some performance a plenty of room, I would swap the three speed overdrive for a 700 R4 since it is a cruiser.
A 4 inch riser on the manifold and a 600 cfm Holley, looks and works great, headers and glass packs will sound solid. Can the place that you got the camaro exhaust from help out?
the 327 actually did come blue in the late 1970's
that kind of makes sense if the car was redone in the early 80's the motor was probably swapped in then
if you put 265 and 283 and 327 parts together the right way. it can change the stroke and make them breath better in and out. most used the ram horns if they could afford them. a lot of 63 can=mper specials came with 327s. and they got put in cars like yours fast. low gear rear end 3 speed. over drive was fast. and the shift rods got bent.. and it would oval the bushing.and ware out the shift rod tips. from jamming them. and do what it did to you.
I don't think the people hate the idea of poverty caps... I think they just hate "those" caps that are on it. They look like they belong on a 80s/90s Taxi cab Caprice or something of that era. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not.
A single tunnel ram? Your Going to cut the hood up to show one carb? How about a 471 supercharger instead?………..
Dan i think if your not putting headers on this 327 use the ram horn manifolds like i used on my 65 Impala . They breath better and increase power and then put your duel exhaust on the Ole Girl you will be much happier !
Those are the worst manifolds they ever used. You can buy a set of repro rams horn manifolds from speedway or a junkyard. The power pack heads dont flow well with the little valves in them ,a set of 194 fuely heads would be better and a torque cam would wake it up.
You say that you guys read all or most of your comments , I grew up driving a 3 speed column shift and I see that you like most kids your age have absolutely no patience and watching you drive the 55 slamming and banging the steering column won’t get you anywhere, column shift work really well but not for speed shifting at least not with putting some work into the shifting mechanism or do away with the column shift and put in a 5 or 6 speed.
I typically like the poverty caps but they make this car look I don't know ..,plain . Maybe it needs white walls or aluminum slots or the daisy, torque thrust
Dan would you please WD-40 that Jack. It has been making that noise forever!
If you're going to run manifolds see if you can find a set of "factory headers" off a Chevy van like early '70' s up to like mid '90' s they're not all exactly the but are similar, they work well for dual exhaust
In a couple years there was some 327 chevys that had 375 hp from the factory. sure wanted one of the 66 novas with that motor.
Single tunnel ram and enough carb spacers to stick out the hood!...Oh,Yeah! 😎
As someone else commented, I do like chromed reverse wheels with baby moons for a classic look 245/70 15's 🇨🇦
I think the dog dishes would be ok if you added beauty rings. The Nomad is a top of the line car, and the hub caps you’re using just makes it look ‘meh’.
Do you have any Ram's horn exhaust manifolds you can put on it in place of the highly restrictive and pain in the butt '55 manifolds?
4 bolts to set transmission on floor. Sometimes you drive me crazy with your methods. Plus the mess, no trash cans or bench.
All in the quest for comments to feed the algorithm
Your separating the trans anyway! Just do that first. Your so painfull to watch pull engines.
@@shadetreemotorsportsmy neck hurts from moving it back and forth saying, no, no, no, no.
Didn't 327s have a thick harmonic balancer on the front of the crank and behind the drive pully?
I’ll only answer because you said. “ what do you want?” So all is well but that 3 on the tree….if mine it would change to 4 speed or even 5 speed
The pad stamping on the deck in front of the passenger cylinder head will tell you exactly what it came out of..unless the block has been decked.
Hooker makes 2-1\2" ram horn manifolds. Those might be worth looking into.
That rad support comes out in minutes. I really don't understand why you always fight for room.
Check the flange on the crankshaft where the flywheel bolts on 283 and 327 flanges are different.
❤❤ I love your videos, awesome content
Damn Plumber's F everything up other then that hehe what the hell good job Guy's lQQl
Pick a car that fits you. That car seems not to fit your personality. The black one is more you. Just my opinion. Just saying !!
55 chevy's had some of the best looking dog dish caps, maybe thats why the guys dont like those caps. ???
Well shit, now that it's out, you may as well rebuild it...
All that grease is the only thing keeping all the oil from leaking out.
I see now why the core support in my ‘55 is bent AND shows the old welds where someone cut out the top bar (AFTER they bent it).
its a 250 hp 327 and they are known as power pack heads you should find double humper heads it is a good base motor
