I usually really like this series, however, whenever I see them using Serpentine belts for rigging and lifting "VERY EXPENSIVE" items I have to fast forward, or stop watching... Folks, Serpentine belts "ARE NOT LIFTING DEVICES PERIOD !!! "... !! "DO NOT DO IT!" I can not believe, Hagerty, with all that new and modern shop they are in with all that nice new tools and equipment they have in there, they do not have the proper rigging equipment, i.e. lifting straps and shackles, spreading frames, lift hooks etc. etc. I know Craftsman does not supply this kind of equipment, so they might have to spend some $$$. OTC tools etc. etc. But what is all that time and effort you put into your project worth ? Keep it safe folks, PLEASE ! Brian
Dude that ole 9 lite Chevy is cool as hell for a shop truck my brother brought a 50 9 lite Chevy from one of my bosses years ago gave 500 for it and drove for a long time the paint was so faded that it look gray well he rubbed it down with some transmission fluid and it brought out the green in the paint job that is the original color a dark green !!!
I love these Restorations keeping the original engine that makes a whole lot more sense plus I love using the old truck for what it was intended for and not ruining it like most idiots do
Davin , really LOVE the fact you don't do "new" anything and not just Ford or Chevy as the net is FILLED TO THE RIM with boring LS or Coyote motors. Loved the Buick and now a big 57 Caddy ( best looking year Caddy other then 59) Next do a 65 / 66 Olds Starfire/ Jetstar I, 425 or Pontiac Bonny 421 to cover the bases ! . You & Mike Thriby are doing great work saving real automobiles .
That is a beautiful Buick. Cant wait to watch you rebuild the 365 Cadillac V8. My 62 Cadillac Fleetwood has a 390 in it. Watching these engine rebuilds helps keep me motivated to getting my 225 slant six back together which its almost there to go back in my Plymouth Duster
I took my Driver's test in my Parents' 57 Cadillac Coupe Deville on 9/20/1963, my 16th birthday, in Orlando Florida. I recognize that engine because whenever I got to use the car for a date, or run around with the guys, the first thing I'd do is go to a parking lot close by, and remove the air cleaner and put it in the trunk. That 4 barrel sounded so cool with that off.
Have never seen a straight 8 Buick restored before. With the late model undercarriage it should be fun to drive. I love how this channel can inspire car guys to rescue old relics from the crusher. Looking forward to the Caddy project.
I love that old Buick. Such class. And as much as I'd want to preserve it's history idk if i could bring myself to spend all that money in restoring to put a 170hp engine in it. Man we've come along way.
Gorgeously rebuilt engine for a very shiny Buick, nice. I love these updates, and it's nice to see the work truck in actual use. There's nothing worse than a "work truck" that never sees work. I have to admit, the way that caddy engine was strapped in made me cringe a bit even though it looked like a short trip. That thing would fly through the cab of the work truck without stopping to say hi on the way through.
That Buick engine looks fantastic. Hope to hear it run. I have my parents 58 cadillac they bought in 1960. 365 original engine. They are very smooth and quiet. Still on the road. Lifelong Southern California car, thats a plus, can drive it year round! Just found you. And subbed.
excited about the Cad...one of the all time greats and the foundation for many a hot rod. factory dual quad and tri-power manifolds are out there. I had rebuilt my '58 Cad 365 a few years ago...did not go well! so looking to see what Davin does and show what I should have done! 2 things...the oil pump provides vacuum to the wipers and i could not find a replacement with the vacuum chamber, and the heads are prone to cracking.
The lift truck part was actually pretty awesome, to think all the years of experience that he has as a skilled mechanic yet had never operated a lift truck. And here I am in my early 20s having operated lift trucks since i was 17 yet I've only been doing mechanic work for barely a year. Hopefully one day I'll catch up to you man
A Kettering engine. Cool. Hopefully as people learn the significance and history behind some of these old school engines, they won't be so quick to join the "me too" LS crowd.
I like taking them apart and seeing what's wrong with them and if they have been into before . I broke a guys heart last week he bought a Chevy 383 stroker kit from a big name performance parts company . It was a 350 with an Eagle crank stock length rods . He bought it a few years ago and said it never performed like he thought it should . Buyers beware , always have some one that knows what they are looking at when you purchase something like that .
Cant wait. I personally am rebuilding a 31 Nash 890 straight eight. Waiting on the machine shop. Having to make parts. None available after market. Looking forward to the caddie build Keith S (More heart / less mind)
That Chevy pickup reminds me of the first vehicle I ever drove. My Grandpa had one and what did I do with a perfect example(no accidents or dents or anything)...backed up and broke the right rear taillight out LOL. Grandpa just said don't worry about it and I got it going forward correctly. He took over and got us back home after that and never mentioned what happened to my Mother. I miss my Grandpa! Now you got the 365 out you can put a 472 in its place heheheh
I'm so excited for more Redline Rebuilds. I'm sad to see the Buick Straight 8 go. It was such a neat engine. Moreover I think of the unique aspect of that Engine and what you did to create such a beautiful piece of engine artwork. I love this so much. I do have a question that is lingering though. What is the total value of the Buick engine alone? I can only imagine there to be so many of them out there. I have an amount I think it's worth but I am not an expert, I only suggest the value is quiet expensive since you documented the whole process.
I’m digging that Nausau 67 Impala blue 😃. My 66 SS 396 was that color too. ( probably turn out to be a modern Dodge color). Oh well, it’s still nicely done ❤️
When you work on older Buicks you can understand how the US steel became so strong back in the 1900's through to 70's. The amount of steel in just that engine is amazing!.
Yeah, teardowns are the best. Any surprises there are just another challenge in the future. Assembly surprises (like when you've ordered wrong size headbolts) I found to be a bit disheartening.
my dad was a massive Buick fan back in the 50's and 60's he owned to my knowledge a 58,59,and 60 Buick Special and raced all of them . I was 10 at the time he had the 60 Buick Special so I don't know what he had before the 58 more then likely knowing him it was a 57 he seemed to upgrade every year . he would hot rod the car and race it for a year then put it in a field with the other's he owned. the last time I went to the field he had about 10 cars out there that was in 1971 the year before we moved back to Florida . the field is owned by our family so there probably still out there.
Man that 51 Buick is slick! I've never been a big fan of frenched in antennae but that was VERY popular back in the day. Wonder if you guys would be able to answer what is hopefully a relatively easy pair of engine paint tech questions. I have a 57 Chevy two-ten sedan with a 235 straight 6. It runs really well, no blow by, smoke, etc but is looking its age so I was going to perform an "aerosol overhaul" just to make it look as good as the rest of the car. My questions are. 1. What would be best resource for me to purchase the proper blue (what paint code, part #, etc.) in rattle can form. 2. Would "Blue Flame 140" on the valve cover have been painted on, a solid one piece decal, or individual letters and numbers cut out separately? I'd prefer to paint on the wording but wanted to find out how it was done from the factory. Thanks team!
Yeah those things are strong af! The poly or aramid yarn in that makes it so tensile - You get a tensile strength of up to 700 N/mm² - Thats nearly double than the classic structural steel! (S235). A 6PKXXXX or XXXXK6 poly belt has a cross section of around 30 mm² - So if you only take a moderate value of 300 N/mm² for a poly belt, you should get a tensile force up to 9 kN! Consider loop forces, as well as divisions, friction and so on... that belt can handle a lot of weight :)
Am I the only one wondering? 3:25 Period hotrod touch: Chromed sidepipes! 3:48 Yes, the exhaust is going to come right out of the rear bumper! How many exhaust pipes does the Buick need?
When are you going to do a Q&A and take on a new job for all of your viewers and friend's. I know I would get a kick out of it we put so much trust in you !!!!.
I finally got an answer to my qestion. Wich was " Small Buick or large engine" The vehicle they are putting the engine is a Buick Super model so it has the small engine. Special and Super had the small engine. Century and Roadmaster had the large engine. More cubic inches.
I never realized that Serpentine belts were that strong
Oh yea, I’ve also used seat belts as well
@@russelltoddinc seat belt is strong! Confirm!

@@GUSMIX22 It will be fine and don't run with scissors.
Right?
Rebuilt a 70's 472 Cadillac motor in high school, it was a BEAST!
Man-o-man, that Buick is some kind of beautiful! Do we get to see what it took to get it to set on a Caprice frame?
A saw-zaw and a lot of cussin’

I love that you’re actually hauling these engines using the Chevy 3100, as a true working shop truck.
Hagerty would love to see more on the learning center and the projects there. Especially the body and paint work going on there.
Same here. I would like to see some of the body work that gets done. The French antennas are a cool touch.
I'm thinking that you guy's have some combination to haul a old greasy motor nope same as me an old tire nicely done on the Buick

I guess using serpentine belts to hoist an engine works until it doesn't.
Normal 6PK belts break at about 1000kg...

Ooooooooooh that paint job is absolutely GORGEOUS on the Buick convertible! A worthy candidate for the Redline Rebuild!
Don't forget to do that "Before" Dyno test to see what you started with :-)

Man that Buicks slick, your motor will compliment it well, looking forward to the caddy rebuild, I love your skills and knowledge. 🤗🇳🇿
Buick is beautiful. On a side note who else checked their phone when they heard the text notification in the video. 😂
I did too :)

It's cool to see the old Chevy still working hard like it used to!
More of Davin (10 minutes is not enough) and videos from the Learning Garage would be so welcomed.
That Buick is gorgeous! I cannot wait to see it all put together!
The 1936 Buick overhead valve roadmaster century super engine 330 in.³ the only car that could out run that car was a Duesenberg Jerry Mcdonogh
that car is insane! perfect engine for that build. well done.
Maybe a Lincoln motor next aye? Whatever it is I’ll keep glued. You guys do an absolute outstanding job all the way around.
That Buick is beautiful. What a absolute pleasure that will be to drive.
Wow that Buick is a beauty... can't wait to see the interior in it.
This engine looks he is in good shape. Hope so. Greetings from Poland.
Omg that sky blue Buick!! Cool can't wait for another teardown of the new engine

It was very enjoyable to see that Buick straight 8 being freighted by that beautiful old Chevy.
Great channel. I love watching your videos. Thank you.
That Buick is a Dreamboat, those side pipes are sweet!
That truck is looking awesome!
I’m digging that Nausau 67 Impala blue 😃. My 66 SS 396 was that color too. ( probably turn out to be a modern Dodge color). Oh well, it’s still nicely done ❤️

It's great done guys n looking forward to see the 365 CADDY. Cheers guys 👍
When you work on older Buicks you can understand how the US steel became so strong back in the 1900's through to 70's. The amount of steel in just that engine is amazing!.
These are cast Iron blocks.
What great looking Buick!😎👍
That Buick is Gorgeous! It would fit perfectly in my garage! 😆
Get your work done. Keep saying that it inspires me
That Buick looks amazing!
I was hoping to see some HP and Torque curves. Any chance of that?
Good god that is a rolling piece of art!
Amazing 😍 new engine new happy time for me watching davin play with that bad boy ❤
You have a lot more confidence in those serpentine belts. I am learning... Wow.
Yeah, teardowns are the best. Any surprises there are just another challenge in the future. Assembly surprises (like when you've ordered wrong size headbolts) I found to be a bit disheartening.
That is a fine looking Buick, I would look good driving down by the beach in that ride.

Show us that 61/62 International Travelall !
My eye went straight to it, too! We had a 1969 Travelall. (Wish we still did.)
Looking forward to seeing this Cad mill get the full rebuild! Do it once, and do it right, as Gene Berg taught us!! 😎👍
That x frame reminds me of the beetle frames. Although they are more of an “I” shape than an “X”. Is there an advantage to that style?
Hey, the 365 has one of the same external canister filters the straight 8 has... so there's another opportunity to oil your pants.
So many cool projects in there!!
Wow that buick is gorgeous 😍
That '51 is beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous!
fine running motors, those Cadillacs! too bad manifolds tend to crack sometimes, and are expensive as hell
Love those Caddy valve covers. I honestly didn't know you could pick an engine up with fan belts.
Yeah those things are strong af!
The poly or aramid yarn in that makes it so tensile - You get a tensile strength of up to 700 N/mm² - Thats nearly double than the classic structural steel! (S235).
A 6PKXXXX or XXXXK6 poly belt has a cross section of around 30 mm² - So if you only take a moderate value of 300 N/mm² for a poly belt, you should get a tensile force up to 9 kN! Consider loop forces, as well as divisions, friction and so on... that belt can handle a lot of weight :)
@@ferdi93ferdi ...which makes sense for the duty cycle of the part and the elements it is exposed to.
wow that body looks crazy good looking..
You are cool guy doing great job! awesome car's!
GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, NOW LET'S GO TO WORK...
Thanks again for a great video
Love the show. Loved the series but I gotta say something. Green engine into a blue car?
So beautiful! Gorgeous :)
One cool ride
Am I the only one wondering?
3:25 Period hotrod touch: Chromed sidepipes!
3:48 Yes, the exhaust is going to come right out of the rear bumper!
How many exhaust pipes does the Buick need?
Is the white Buick on the lift in the other shop a Wildcat or an Electra? And was that what the 401 Nailhead was for?
That caddy engine looked kinda fresh on the outside :)
Looks are deceiving.
When are you going to do a Q&A and take on a new job for all of your viewers and friend's. I know I would get a kick out of it we put so much trust in you !!!!.
I see that truck parked on the street, I'm painting those wheels black!
Ditto
Looks like a air cooled power glide? Are you going to use a gear vendors overdrive? On the Buick?
Man I like those lakes pipes on the Buick.
Got a '58 Caddy 60 Special with factory 3-2 bbls.
Very good
There is nothing like a crown for picking it up and putting it down
I would love to do this in my spare time or as a second job
Yes, I love a good motor rebuild.
another coo projecct! yesssssssssss
Always wished I could afford to plant a Buick or Pontiac straight 8 in a 48-53 Chevy or GMC 1 ton. Or 3/4 ton at least
Really tasty Buick! Done with high end quality. Is that light blue a 74 beetle?
Wow that is sweet!
Plans for the Travelall on the lift rack?
Great Channel
What's up with the convertible? Is the engine installed? Is it ready for a parade?

I have a question. I see that you use serpentine belts for lifting. What is their tensile strength?
500 pounds for sure.
