You have come a long way since the dragon, and this old truck is right for you. It has the patina you like, and you can put a weathered logo on the doors for your channel to match. These are very simple wired trucks so making everything work is not too hard. I would also make sure the brake proportioning valve is not stuck while the engine is out. Might want to clean out the vent tube on the diff. so you won't lose you pinon seal. Good video!

That motors probably going to need at least one new sleeve. You'd be surprised what else can be cleaned up though. For future reference, if a motor's stuck pop the valve covers off first. If you see push rods that look like these in this engine, don't waste the PB, mystery or time. Plus, even if you do manage to get it unstuck the quickest way you'd know if a valve is stuck closed is by removing the covers so they'd have to come off eventually anyway. I personally use a bore camera to look into the spark plug holes to check cylinder wall and piston condition.

When you drained the oil pan at the beginning of this, I knew what killed the engine. They weren't keeping up with the oil changes in this motor over the years. When you dropped the pan, it was on full display. They would run the motor and simply add oil as it burned it up and rarely changed the filter. You should use an engine stand, I was nervous watching you work on that motor while it's suspended by a chain. An investment in your safety.

Hi CT, reminds me of when I was restoring mustangs with ford engines. They were easy to pull the motor and tranny together. I had a 67 coupe I was working on and the 289 was toast and most came in a box when I towed the car home from a farm pasture. I had two 70 mustangs too and one was a rust bucket and decided to scrap it but took all the good parts off to sell. The 302 was good so put it in the 289 with the right motor mounts. Bolted right up to the tranny and went to start it only to find all the wiring to the ignition was burned up. Found another one to pull out of a 68 for 15 bucks. Still didn't start till I realized i forgot to plug the neutral safety switch to the tranny. Vroom Vroom. 302 in a light car like that was so cool and sounded great with a new set of dual pipes.

I do believe that is a 352 not a 360. I am a little concern about all the times you said save this and reuse it. About the only thing I would reuse would be the block, crank, timing chain cover, and rods if they are ok after machining. New aluminum heads and intake, oil pump, cam with roller lifters, bearings, rings, timing chain set, freeze plus, water pump, balancer, alternator, power steering pump, hoses, plugs, wires, an HEI distributor, EFI throttle body, motor mounts, radiator, thermostat, and etc. Those cast iron heads would need a ton of machining, new valve train and probably harden valve seats installed and then they weight a tone, same with that 2 barrel cast iron intake.

At approximately 5:25... that was a factory ID tag for the engine. It'll have some basic stats stamped into it for the engine including the cubic inch rating, unless of course, the engine was modified after it left the factory or someone swapped out the tag to fool someone else. At approximately 17:15... automatic transmissions use a flexplate. Manual transmissions use a flywheel. What's the difference? By definition, a flywheel always possesses a friction surface for a clutch assembly. A Flexplate does not. The flexplate traditionally has no use for a friction surface. It should be noted however, on some modern designs, there is a friction surface built into a flexplate that is used for a parking brake. I don't know of any domestic built vehicle that uses this setup but I have spotted it in some foreign built vehicles over the last 20-30 years. I'll also note that at least on some of the Chevy Corvettes, GM designed some of the transmissions to incorporate a friction disc at the tailshaft end of the transmission for a parking brake as well. However, none of them should be confused with a standard use clutch system designed to shift gears. As for the teeth at the ring gear, what I saw was typical for a 50+ year old vehicle. The engagement gear at the Bendix on the starter will take some damage from smacking into the teeth at the ring gear over time and use as it's designed to... as it's supposed to be softer... but so will the ring gear even though the metal in the ring gear is supposed to be harder via heat treatment. What doesn't help is that unfortunately, engines tend to stop in the same couple of places when we shut them off at the key. The translation on that is the gears mesh in the same places on startup localizing the wear on the teeth in the same couple of places. As others have mentioned, an easy fix is possible if the actual ring gear can be removed from a flywheel or a flexplate via heat. All you need to do is carefully use a fine tip on a torch and heat the gear until it expands enough to be removed. Then you can reverse the gear or rotate it about 30-45 degrees on the original axis and reinstall it. Warning: be careful if you R & R a ring gear. DO NOT DROP THEM. If you do, it may crack or break when it hits the concrete thus rendering it unusable. My best advice is to not only mark the original location of the ring gear so you know where to reinstall it, make sure that you're fully ready to handle hot metal when you heat it up. I shouldn't need to say it but I will anyway - very thick and heavy leather gloves are your friend on a R & R. Peace & good vibes! - Max Giganteum

Think long and hard before going to a 460, unless you really need a lot of pulling power, they aren't worth it.

How did that oil look so fresh on the stick? What a surprise when you dropped the pan.

Oil impregnated with sludge goes to the bottom because it's heavier, fresh oil floats to the top because it's lighter. Simple. - Max Giganteum

As bad as it may look... based on what I could see in the video, in may be possible to completely disassemble, fully clean and reassemble this engine and get it running using a complete gasket set and some new parts. There would be a few minimum things that would need to happen to pull this off. First, complete disassembly without damage to any main components. Removing the pistons from the bores is usually the most problematic thing to accomplish but I've seen as bad or worse than this engine be done with success. If I had to, I'd mechanically remove as much corrosion as practical then I'd use electrolysis to remove the rest, even if I had to hot tank the block then submerge the entire thing in an electrolysis tank. Next after disassembly? You'd have to revitalize each of the parts which equates to a full cleaning. After that? Inspect each part for damage - they'll either be able to be used or they won't, based on obvious damage. Next? Mic each part for being on size and being true. Any part that is bent or warped in such a way as to be unrepairable is scrap by default. Once all that is accomplished, it's a matter of the results. If this engine was rebuilt as suspected and has limited or little to no wear, it might be a matter of hot tanking the block then simply putting it back together using most of the same parts that came out of it including the bearings. If all the main components are good, there's no reason that reassembly cannot be accomplished with a successful, running engine being the result. Machining might not be necessary at all. Yes, there are a few tasks that may need to be done such as grinding the valves and valve seats. The bores may need a super light hone to allow new rings to seat. Speaking of new rings, some parts may need to be replaced such as the piston rings, some or all of the valves and the valve springs. A new, complete gasket set is mandatory and many folks might elect to go with all new bearings even if the condition of the prior bearing set is good. Some folks may replace the oil pump even if the old unit checks out. A new timing set is mandatory as are a set of core plugs and most likely the water pump but that depends on condition - it might check out. Some of us could rebuild it though, so to me, that's a moot point. I'd get it to go either way. A new fuel pump is mandatory even if the old unit works - never trust the internal diaphragm unless it's replaced and you prove that out. What else? You'll need to go through the carb, alternator and distributor. After that? You should have an engine that can be reassembled and be made to run. I'm not including the radiator at this point but that too can be tested. Yes, there are some other parts that may be needed... parts for the distributor and carb or some soft parts like hoses and filters. Note that I wouldn't recommend just putting this engine back together with the current parts even if they all check out. I'm merely stating that such a thing might be possible. If the engine were mine, I would not only make the effort to find out the facts but I'd take the opportunity to make many modifications to gain more power and efficiency from it if it were viable. At this point, all I'm considering are the possibilities, that is all. The main thing I'm looking at is that an engine may look like a nightmare... but that doesn't mean it is. Sometimes, all you need to do is disassemble, clean and reassemble. Peace & good vibes to all! - Max Giganteum

Water pump bearings wear out. Then the water pump doesn't pump enough causing overheating. Vice Grip Garage uses Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders to loosen the engine.

Shot bearings in a water pump doesn't cause the pump to move less volume... what on earth ever gave you the idea that was true?!? Hello! A pump moves less coolant by volume because a belt is slipping, there is a lack of coolant in the system, there is a blockage somewhere in the system, the impeller is corroded away or there is an issue with the radiator. Bad bearings = leakage and/or noisy bearings. There is one other possibility though... a seized water pump. Peace & good vibes! - Max Giganteum

@@MaxGiganteum Go to a parts store and have them to pull a pump off the shelf. Grab the hub and turn it by hand. It'll turn slow. An old pump turns fast because it's slipping. Mechanics call it 'slipping'. The hub turns easy and it's not pushing water fast enough. It's like riding a bike in the easiest gear on a flat road. You pedal alot but don't go very far. Then, if you put it in 3rd gear, then you go further easier.

@@CarlWilliams-u3y You seriously need a dose of reality. The pump turns at the same speed whether it is new or has 200K miles on it given that the drive belt isn't slipping on the receptive pulley. The condition of the bearings is irrelevant. They can be optimal from new and feel snug or well worn in and freely spin with little effort. A new pump won't spin more slowly just because it's new. Given that the impeller is not damaged, the water pump will move the same volume of coolant whether the pump has zero, 50K, 100K, 500K or any other number of miles on it. The analogy of the bicycle is false. Why? You're literally changing the mechanical advantage you have by changing gears - this is impossible in a water pump! The pulley for the belt, the main shaft of the pump and the impeller are all locked together - they cannot be "adjusted" or "changed" or "switched" during normal operation except in a system that is designed for such to take place - something that is not found on a Ford built FE engine. Unless the drive belt is slipping or the shaft is seizing in the bearing (which can and will cause slippage at the drive belt) then the water pump will always spin at the same speed when new or old - that speed is the speed which it is driven based on the speed of the crankshaft. End of story! - Max Giganteum
