What do you think about the chrome powder. I am thinking about doing the intake and valve cover on my mercedes om603 motor but I haven't heard much feedback on it.

Good breakdown. I've done the front on my 65 a dozen times, this was a good refresher before I rebuild the rear.

Pro tip: Remove the front lower plate (four a-corn nuts). You now do not have to struggle to remove the old battery and install the new battery.

Watched another video 20 minutes ago on the same subject, 5 minutes in and Old timer has already gave me more knowledge than I could’ve dreamed of

Just serviced my EU about a month ago. Battery died about 15 years ago. My gen is in an aluminum enclosure on my car hauler race trailer. used the pull start as I was too lazy to pull the case apart. After sitting all winter it would not start. It took me 2 hours to take the compartment apart since the torks screws stripped. My buddy serviced it, runs great now. At the time I did not know the battery was so accessible.

Did you say use premium gas? Does that make a difference?

Who is going to install the new rear gears for you?

Why did you weld the nuts on rather then just tighten them up????

Close your eyes and it's Kevin Costner

maybe do a push pull with the fans? front one and back one could be offset to get more flow through the fins?

What shop built your radiator for you? Like the use of WD-40 to help slide the hose ends on! What are you using for gas? Sunoco 93?

Maybe the added weight of the new radiator will help keep the front wheels on the pavement! Probably not. Love all the videos.

Very COoL (see what I did there). This video is definetely a "Gas" and as my son tells me, also "Rad". Go figure. Kids today Love the shop - pls adopt me! Appreciated the tip laden video. Thank you. Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House On the Left

So SAD! Manufacturing in this country is collapsing \, more and more do i see defected garbage being sold. The idea of doing the best Job you can do and taking pride in your work has greatly declined. Come on America get your SHIT together man- step up!

My question sir is do all the Blocks have to 2 tapped holes to mount it to the Block??? I got one for my Boat but at the moment engine still in boat so I dont know if my block has the 2 tapped holes for the insert Thanks.

WHAT???? YOU MISSED THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP???? CHECK THE PISTON BORE FOR PITS OR NEW SEALS WONT SEAL!!!!!!

thank you so much for this video it helped me out a ton! guess ill get up right now and go put my shifter on

How important is it to set the shift cable length with it in neutral? I bought an unfinished project off a guy. 2004 Sierra with th400 swap. Originally I couldn’t get it to engagePark. I set the cable length by using park on both the trans and shifter, but now, I don’t seem to have a neutral position on the shifter that give me neutral on the trans. Could setting my cable ship in park be the issue? (Just happened earlier today, so I haven’t tried resetting the cable length yet). Thanks to anyone that can provide any info on that. Great vid too!

Olds was the first to put rear sway bars on and it was a 65 442.

this man right here is genuinely an amazing human, I watch him every time a video releases and I particularly love watching him build and modify his engines.

Thank you! Can you add an Amazon store link in the description with all the items you ordered? Thank you again!

Happy Fathers day

Do not want anything hindering the Go Pedal! Well done

Thanks for the information. It wasn't the solution for mine, but it helped troubleshoot it. My unit would light but would then shut off after a bit of time. Indicating a thermocouple. Checked voltage when unit was lit, only got .009 to ,011 volts (or 9 millivolts) from the thermocouple. Just for giggles I also let a long Bic lighter under the thermocouple, the voltage went to 25mv. Checked thermocouple mounting, it was loose, apparently allowed the Thermocouple to slide away from the flame. Adjusted and locked down. All is fine. btw my unit is a Dometic RM2807 in a 1995 Southwind.

Sir: Just a word to the wise: I don't see a flex plate scatter shield bolted to the engine/transmission. NHRA rules for a Stock Modified class. I do understand that you are in the Gasser Class. See ya!

Marine - not really a surprise 🫡

I love this old couple, reminds me of my Mom and Dad 😢

Lokar makes nice products, never been disappointed with their stuff.

Sounds good buddy, you're leaving me behind but always keeping me motivated, Aloha

Great job- sounds amazing!!! Gotta post a video when you get the car on the street!!

If he only knew the Torino's GT fastback tailgate and quarter end caps would fit that car

Nice set up. Should make it easy to keep the battery fully charged! I had the red Optima in my 55 and the yellow one in my Anglia now. Both worked great.

well...if he wasn't deaf before, he sure is now :)

Nice job 👍

Thank you!

Nice presentation with experienced common sense details

You are the wiring Master in my book!

Well done - adjust the shift point up to 5800 rpms and you are ready for Anne to hit the go pedal. Check it off the To Do List!

Sounds good. I have to splice some power wire in my car. You gave me a good ideal how I’m going to do it watching your video. Thank you

And weight

What type oil u put in

Like putting a gold anchor in a old boat 350 plus days a year?!!

Building a 49 gasser fleetline myself great work love the build

My wife does not understand why us guys do this..simple ..its who we are.

How come you don't have headers?

Sounds awesome.

What fun !!! I've been putting radiator petcocks in those lower block coolant holes for decades with no problems. A bonus is when draining, you can stick a length of hose on to direct the stream into your catch bucket and not get coolant armpits.

You make it look easy, buddy! cool to see this project moving along!

Wire it up, add some fuel and fire it up. Sounds AWESOME!!

Sounds good and is coming together quick.
