@@AydenLewis777 I got the Pioneer set, part number PE165. They're listed as "expansion plugs".

@@jerryterry6895 As much as would be expected with a flux core.

@@dfre6422 That it does....and that it can.

Be cooler when my brain learns how to use it, which I'm sure you understand from your plasma table experiences.

@@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726 No. We have a local salvage yard with plenty of engines at super low prices so we're gonna grab a long block. We needed heads and a crank anyway so that's going to be a perfect fix. Plus I don't want our next video to be how I screwed up again and my sleeves rattle. 😅

@@markwilhelm168 Agreed, but out of all our blocks that one was one was expendable. Plus I have 4 more bores to practice on.

No we don't. The transmission finally crapped out on it and we sent it off to it's final resting place.

@@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726 Remember when engine degreaser used to actually "degrease" things, then they took all the good stuff out of it.

@@DespiertaVe That's going to entirely depend on what you plan on using it for. Smaller "hobby" style welders are good universal units, but they can be brutal on sheet metal. The 90 we reviewed is my go to for everything exhaust pipe and up, my other unit with argon is my sheet metal unit that I do use on heavier work where I don't want all the spatter.

@@11SecSTionStockSnail 😂 Trust me, I'm not thrilled either.

Hahah

@@BigBadJones We couldn't find any 4.7's that were any good so the owner decided to buy a 318 crate motor to throw in it. Now we just have to find a computer, distributor, oil pan and silly stuff. Unfortunately we're not going to put a carburator on it, the owner is a fuel injection kinda guy.

@@allhailinternalcombustion did he go with a magnum or la?

@@BigBadJones I think it will be a magnum. I haven't talked to him, but I'm sure he's going to stick with the engine from the same year the truck was made.

@@allhailinternalcombustion yeah. It would be a magnum then. I'm converting a magnum to carb for my project.

@@BigBadJones We have an 86 W250 that someone Magnum swapped. We put an intake, HEI, and Edelbrock 600 on it. We don't drive it much, but anytime we need it we just dump a little gas down the carb and it fires right up. The 318 was one of the most reliable Chrysler engines.

Thanks for watching. I hope it goes well with your swap/upgrade. You're gonna love not spilling fuel every time you have to service floats or swap jets. What engine is in your 250?

Yeah, I've never seen too many advertisements for the show.

Everybody does things a little differently. I always mount my plate to the block, adjust it, tighten it down, then slip it into the stand.

Thanks, and thanks for watching.

Agreed. Plastic intakes, valve covers, timing covers..... it's all just silly.

Everything is so over engineered, that takes the fun out of it. We have a 91 Honda that we love, and it has room for our meat hooks. They want to make us dependent on dealerships with these modern disposable vehicles.

Yes, it probably did. Our 302 we pulled out of our 84 was just as bad, had a rod knock, but it ran.

You're right about that, especially here in PA. Carlisle shows all spring and summer, Hershey, great place to be a car person.

We'll be playing quite a few rounds of "will this bolt work there.....no....longer/shorter"?

It's gonna take some figuring out. Thanks for watching!

There were a lot of variations of transmissions going on in the 60's just in the GM family, all good designs though that could take a fair amount of abuse.

Olds did make some really nice cars back in the day. Thanks for watching.

Not too hard. I had to make a couple brackets to lift it slightly above the "backbone" of the frame.

I agree with you on that.

It was the worst I've seen. The previous owner probably spent more money on Bars Leaks than he did to fix the problem.

Yeah looks like it! I got the heads off my spare 2.8 getting it ready to go in my truck, I looked at the plugs and shit was an 1 inch thick stuck to the plugs , and far as I know the engine never had any bars leak in it, is only a 100k engine , I almost think it's some kind of electrolysis, I have heard of coolant systems holding a small charge! Crazy shit bro! Good grounds are important!

You know how most people have been for the past 20 years or more, everything is disposable, treat it like trash, then throw it away.

Yes it was, that weekend in York is full of nice cars from every decade.

Thanks. It seems good engines are getting hard to find, everything we get our hands on is fragged and needs a lot more than we originally planned.

This was in York, PA.

True, gotta be full of energy to keep up with all the doctors appointments and driving around in rush hour to make the younger people late for whatever they're going to do.

Yeah, nasty enough that it took over from the wind noise on my phone.

@@allhailinternalcombustion lol

Yeah, we had been looking for one for months, they were out there, but way too expensive.
