My two cents from thousands of miles away is that two old T-34 engines is not going to be enough to make one working engine. Three maybe four might do the trick. No matter how many it takes, I look forward to the adventure.

Ha! What Americans can do and what Englishmen & women can do, especially in sheds, are two wildly different levels of skill. Remember, ~10 years ago, one couldn't buy a US-made 'sports car' that wasn't underpinned with bloody horsecart springs. 'Agricultural', that's the word I was looking for. It describes US engineering to a TEA. With the exception of (last 5 years) Milwaukee tools and Estwing th'hammers.

Even if the cylinder is re-bored, the pitting can remain and the metal compromised. Then it's replacement liners. This is true for all engines with water damage.

Hello Mr Hewes, The engine looks to be in rough shape. If you want to get some help or see what to look out for, you can check out Master Milo who has torn down the same engine which came from a T-55 but in much dire state. He went into pretty good detail about the engine restoration and I think it would help you too. Please don’t think of this comment as if I’m belittling you, I’m just trying to help you with your journey. Hope you can bring the engine back to life and help it run well. Have a nice day 👍
@leonkrouwel1878

Yep, he (Mastermilo) was shoveling heaps of rust out of a similar engine, and Frankenstein'ed (his own words ;-) ) it to a running engine. From earlier videos of Joe and Mastermilo, I understand that they - at least - know each-others phone number ;-) and maybe some joint-venture project is cooking ;-)
I have high hopes that you could transplant the pistons and heads from #1 to the bottom end and piston rods from #2 .. which even if not ideal must be an improvement over #1 which remeber drove in despite its shagged bottom end. Ok some labour but the parts are all free at this point, seems to me worth the attempt, and in worst case you will get some great video content out if it.

After the overhaul the engine did run fine but she’s smoking like hell. What your channel is concerning I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
