We have 1953 Cranbrook coupe, just bought another for engine and overdrive trans. Belvedere. Disassembling it. Cutting frame down to use as spare engine and transmission stand. Rebuilding engine for hot rod, well all we can do with a 218. Lol. Taking the Coupe to shows as original. Extra engine on frame stand. Have not seen that. Engine and trans on actual frame as stand. Hopefully with radiator and crankable eventually.

That one looks really good inside and out, it's registered, running and passing inspection, and it's for sale for $8k which is really not that much for a classic American car in Poland... From what I've seen there's plenty of new production parts and from reading about it on the forums it's not too difficult to make it keep up cruising on highway.

Even detergent oils of the 70s-early80s were pretty poor. Engine oils of today are pretty incredible as far as how clean they can keep tiny , high horsepower engines and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles. Nissan copied the design of that oil pump almost to a “T” in their older 4 cylinder truck engines. Most people don’t realize that the Japanese copied designs primarily from the USA but also from VW. As a Matt of fact, most of your original Toyota technicians came from VW when Yoda first started selling here in the USA. The Landcruiser’s original inline 6 was built from plans based on the Chevy inline six.

Anyway Ide watched your video, and I caught it all up to where you was ready to install the oil pan. I couldn't find that last video. Anyway. Ide like to rebuild my engine. (Factory only) Ide like to either bring it to you from here in the Mark and West Virginia area. I was hoping that maybe around $5,000 would do it. People up this way, want to use a 318, 340 etc in it etc. No... I don't want that. I realize that you may need to do certain things to it. It is what it is. You may here and there may haft to change something, that's ok if you do. Whatever needs to be done. Ide also like to go to 8 volt battery with it if I could. All I need is get it close to factory. I want to drive, not a antique tag. Don't worry, I rarely drive over 55. So yea... It does have age to it. Would you be able to get ahold of me? A either for finding the correct parts or B- would you be interested in rebuilding the engine? The car is around 14 years before my time. Lol.

with no oil filter the idea was to let the crud build up in the engine and clean it out at rebuild time. Also poor air cleaners let a lot of dirt in. today its not easy to get non detergent oil. NOTE to old car people. If you do not convert to full flow oil filter system. do not put modern oil in them or the crud will come loose and damage the engine.

Did you pull the water distribution tube before you hot tanked it? Very important to make sure it is functional for cooling of the #5 & #6 valves. All Chrysler flatheads moved to hardened valve inserts in the early 30s. Also did you mark rod and main bearing caps so your can replace them in the same location on reassembly? If it is a 230/218 the rods are offset so check the forge numbers to make sure you get the order correct.(That's why it is important to ID them before pulling them.) The con rod bolts are special size with a unique lock washer, so don't lose them. To another comment/? the bottom of the distributor shaft has a tang that fits in a slot in the top of the oil pump. The oil pump has to be carefully installed in a specific relationship with the cam so the timing is correct. Bypass oil filters were an option and have better filtering characteristics than full flow filters. The lifters are called tappets. Lot more info about these vehicles at www.p15-d24.com

This is a Canadian car so I've read that it would have a long block in it. The block is 25.5 inches long. 3 3/8" Bore X 4 1/2" Stroke. I had ordered a gasket set for this car on rock auto, what they sent me was for a 218 and or 230 set...the head gasket in this kit was 26 inches long and the valve cover gaskets are short too. Anyways can someone tell me from the numbers of the block what engine I have and where a guy can get hold of parts for it? THANKS!!!

Because the exhaust valves are in the block near the ring lands the upper cylinder lubrication of a flathead is more critical than an OHV motor, which has a head gasket that prevents the piston ring area from getting so hot. The improved motor oils definitely help the flathead. The old motor manuals recommend a periodic de-carbon process - which few motors got. Typically a well cared for Mopar flathead was good for 85,000 miles before it needed an in-chassis overhaul. I expect with the improved oils these motors can double that life. You will find that the piston lands and rings are cracked in many of these motors - and yet they still run, sort of.

The main baring bore has a factory size & it is usually called bearing housing bore. That way of checking the main bearing bore is ok but Most Chrysler manuals use recommend this method: Install a good crankshaft (reground or at some regrind size) in new bearings, lube the bearings with 30 wt oil, torque the main caps. If the crank spins freely you are good to go, if in a bind get the block align bored.

Chrysler Industrial They we’re in Cockshut combines, tanks trucks and definitely in service until 1972 because my Dad had a P&H 17 1/2 model 218 mobile crane and the power plant for the cranes superstructure was a Chrysler Industrial flat head all factory! That engine would start at-30 degrees Celsius and runs like a top and with a straight pipe at low idle you could easily have a conversation or listen to the radio. What a great piece of engineering!!🇨🇦👍😀

Hi this is off subject but I need a little info. I have a 69' 429ci and I can not find a new stock balancer, it is internally balanced. I do have an aftermarket for the 68'-73' but 4 bolts, can I just grab one off a later model 429ci with a 4 bolt crank. The last thing I need to know is do I have to go to aftermarket flywheel if the crank is internally balanced?

What's the ballpark cost to have someone completely rebuild one of these? Assuming I have no aftermarket parts like this customer.

The Slant 6 oil pump is a external pump driven off the cam also Maybe that's where they got their idea since the slant was designed back in the late 50's

I wish I had the money to send an engine to you and have a video of it being rebuilt. It's so cool to watch you work. Btw, what usually causes warpage on the block?

Cylinder blocks can warp due to heating and cooling cycles. The block will warp even faster if the car is overheated.
