Abandoned for 20 Years! Will It Run New World Record? Stock Chevy Van Bottom End for a Blower Motor!
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- I picked up this van from a local scrapper this past summer. Not knowing what to do with it at that time I have since decided we should see if it will run and if it does we should try putting my 671 blower setup on top of the stock bottom end! Seems like a terrible idea right? Well, lets see if we can get it to run first! Neither the engine nor the van is for sale at this time. As always, thanks for watching!

I dunno blower on top of an old used engine? About as exciting as farting in a coffee can and saving it for later😢.
both sound pretty exciting to me!
@@MortskeRepair...I only have k cups ,I don't know how to save a little whiff for later in those
@egodeathplease , Lots more exciting than what I see on your videos, that fart in the Coffee can is definitely more exciting .
how many cans you got? GTFOOH.
😂
Mad props to these car guys. Been watching a bunch of them for years (including Mortske) so I finally worn the wife down and was allowed to get an old 59 F100 w/ a 223. Been working on it for a few weeks and my baby-soft hands are scratched up and permanently dirty, my garage is a disaster, and every piece of clothing I own smells like PB Blaster and salty tears. I'm sleeping on the couch and eating dinner with the O'Reilly's guys in town. My whole body hurts and i'm broke. I dont know how they do this for years on end. I need a vacation already and it's been like 13 days.
Congratulations and good luck!
Now you know why I NO LONGER work on cars! My car habit (100 and counting) has cost me 2 bankruptcies and one marriage!
Also, because I suck at it.
I hear ya, isn't it great !
@@JeffKopis dude at least you hit a hundred, I've stalled out in the low 80s, and between cash for clunkers and covid I can't buy a Cheap Ass Car™ to save my life
Love watching Duff doing zoomies around the property.
Back in my younger years I used to drive a GMC van that we put a bored, balanced, cammed 350 with a built turbo 400 with a 3000 stall speed converter in it. It was a great sleeper to street race and lots of fun till I lost my drivers license when I got caught racing!
Ok
Yep I have an 87’ sitting out back. She has a factory 4b 350 TBI with a slightly higher lift cam. T400, 12 bolt . It was a custom ordered for towing so it has beefed up rear sus. But she’s getting old now @ 320,000 + miles. But in her day. She would eat stock mustangs.
Thanks for sharing!
Bummer
Mortske is the official Monday Morning Blues Buster of CZcams.
Blues Clues?
I had a case of the Mondays, but then I watched Mortske!
Chin gets me with that spider every time. Well 60% of the time, it works every time. Thanks for the great content as always Mortske.
sneaky!
I literally spit out my drink when I saw Puddin’ pop out with his “fire from the hip” clip 😂 You got me there, Mortske… 👍
Your dog running back and forth cracks me up lol he's having fun
Livin the dream
That was one of the funniest test drives I've ever seen on CZcams. The billowing headliner gave the illusion of speed. Gotta love the old hoarder box on wheels!👍
you know it!
Hoarder Box on Wheels.... Love it👍😊
* Damn It Mortske You Be Careful !!! Spraying all that hot sauce vapor in a confined space around all those jenky wire connections your gonna pull a Leno and blow your friggin' face off ! 🔥🥵🔥 And you ain't got the money to have a new one installed like Jay ! Us old retired guys depend on you to supply us with our Monday afternoon entertainment ! We're on fixed incomes and your show is cost effective . 🤭👍At least you keep Duff at a safe distance.
Would put new meaning to the words " express facial" 😮😮😂😂😂😂
The 'ol Blow-By Blower Motor!
At least you won't have to worry about your ring gap on your Blower Motor.
Hopefully!
Your Mortske minute is second only to your expertise in removing van engines . Thats the first time Iv'e ever seen it done with a saws all . Good thing Duff Dog didn't go with you on the test drive , he would have run off home and left you , however things worked out and you made it back safe. What ever you put that blown motor in is sure to be a success . Till that happens I'll be here waiting with high hopes . Take care , God Bless , Keep on truckin . Stuart in Canada ..
Best way to do it! Thanks for watching Stu!
Hey these will it run’s are turning into the will it run so I can take it for a sketchy drive afterwards videos, and you know it’s gonna be a sketchy ride when even Duff says “ No I’m good” when you ask if he wants to go for a ride. And I’m still looking at the heavily patinaed truck in the shop without the hood and thinking that thing needs a blown small block in it, it’s already got the stance
@@MortskeRepair I always used a saw at the u pick it lot. Back in the 80's when going to the yard was a real treat, they would bring the "yard car" with the torch in the back seat and just cut it out for you. They also heated the office with a wood stove powered by waste oil and had the best ashtrays of used diesel pistons. Made the ashtrays we made in school look lame 😂.
Really like your Mortske Minutes. Very informing. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
With those white steelies and caps on that van, you better watch out, Puddin might come along and leave this thing on blocks!
Or heat up the coils...
@@MortskeRepairSlammed storage shed, that's what every man needs!
MORTSKE MONDAY!
Mortske, livin' the Tan VAN LIFE!
Mortske Mayhem, Mortske Madness, Mortske Manure, the list is endless!
Gotta kick out of Dalton’s Van build that thing is mean!!!! Never stop doing Mortske’s minute love the history.
Ya, his stuff is way cooler than my garbage.
@@MortskeRepair Na your just a different kind of energy that’s all Mort. Besides I know you like to play with peoples emotions Sir. Can’t wait to see how that bone stock 350 handles that blower. Better give er da beans 🫘
@@MortskeRepair some of it but lets be fair you got some very nice stuff too his upside is he can paint and make garbage look decent and you are stuck with garbage that looks like garbage
Stick a blower on it for sure! Lots of room for activities without the seats in it. Thanks for the video, they are always the best part of a Monday morning.
Just looking at that big red headliner a blowing in the wind. All the local farm boys gotta be thinking about making a dress for their purtiest cow❤
oh dear...
I love how the radio is mounted directly above the blazing 350. Talk about hot tunes! good thing it's not a cassette player, otherwise you get a melted tape for sure.
With a blower you got to open up the ring gaps . But any blown sbc engine would be cool in any of those cars or trucks sitting in the shop.
guess we'll find out
blower + catalina= catalina brain mixer! thanks for another great monday my man.
Glad you enjoyed!
Got to keep Mr DUFF SAFE good Info that's the way I would have taken it out😊
Oh..yeah! A Mortske VAN Monday!😊
I always enjoy the Mortske Minutes. 😁👍
Good to hear!
The bottom end of that 350 sounds really good, but that BDS 6-71 on a stock bottom end reminds me of the Draguar that Dave Freiburger and Mike Finnegan built in the parking lot of Gotelli Speed Shop in California. It ended up running like crap and overheated to the point of warpage. I would definitely treat it with some aftermarket aluminum heads, a valvetrain upgrade, and a blower cam before bolting that big beautiful bastard onto it. You know more than I do about engines though. You've worked on damn near everything...😂😂😂
May as well find out! Can always upgrade it later!
@@MortskeRepair You are definitely true sir!
I've always had a soft spot for those old G-series vans.
My dad used one (cargo van) as a company vehicle when I was little and I always loved it for its simplicity and utility. I even loved the way it smelled...probably my first whiff of new car smell now that I think of it.
Thanks for sharing!
When I was about 4 or 5 my babysitter had this exact same van that we would ride around in. I remember her name was Marcella in Allentown, PA back in 1987 or 88.
She sounds like a nice lady!
@@MortskeRepair Those were the good old days!
Allen town, wow, lots of history there. I'm serious.
My man gave a little salute when you said blower on the 2 Wheel Dr. blazer. That’s my vote.
Right on!
Great video! My dad worked at willow run hydromatic that built the turbo 400.
Thanks for sharing!
2003, was Bush
39:30, Funny we could see the reflection in your glasses, of the gas tank falling off the roof.
Wish you shipped to Canada.
That van is in pretty good shape and solid too, if it was me i would put another motor in it and fix it up
She's pretty soggy actually
I have a feeling it takes just a teensie weensie bit more a week than an hour and 20 minutes to have a CZcams channel with hundreds of thousands of followers.. You have to have that je ne sais quas like Morstke does, that fait de complete.. something I surely don't have, which is PATIENCE and dedication and FANS and all that fun stuff!! Nice job though, love seeing these old engines revived! (even the smog era junk, it's still good bones under there)
edit: oh yeah that beanie is my favorite of all time.. thanks man, great choice on the hat! I love it!
Nah, it's really, really easy. And everyone on the internet is so nice!
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 I saw Dalton's revival on the van, I was waiting for the whole bunch of them to get crushed. Thank God they succeeded. Anyway your removal was completely drama free. I think the blown 350 should go in the 56 Bel Air, Dan would love it. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
Thanks! Will do!
I'm guessing that not every project is a money-maker, but if you're having fun and paying the bills then more power to you! Thanks also for consulting with Pudden on his Model A project. He might have been in over his head on that one.
Hell yeah my brother! Love the Mortske Minute!! good learnings!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those van seat stands are good for converting other bucket seats into a pickup truck. The astro van seat stands are the best but those would do with some modification. Tech tip of the day!
Thanks for the info!
Hell YES! Lets do this! Budget Blower Motor! 👍
Right on!
I like watching your video because you show just what can happen and only by trying different things (methods) is how you find out if they work or not! You have to try!👍👍👍! Everyone has their own opinion. I say go for it!!
Right on!
That era of vans was so good. My dad rocked those when I was a kid and they were always good to go.
REliable transportation!
that motor and blower can go into so many of your projects,can't wait to see what you do next...thanks mortske!! 🍺
You could fix up that van and sell it as a luxury undocumented migrant transporter,,,
Keep your political comments for stupid social media sites !
how much does it pay?
If you know the right coyote you can make 15gs a load.
$2,000 each illegal
😂😂😂
My uncle Ed had an '87Chevy van in the mid 90s. It was a green half ton window, very dented up and missing the rear seat. He put the stereo from my grandmother 's '87 Oldsmobile Calais after that car's engine blew up. He also gave the van front seats from a '70s Ford but couldn't recall what model. The van had the EFI 231 V6 and ( I guess) TH350. He also put load leaves above the rear spring packs.
the mid-brake-hose metal holder brackets rust around them and pinch them shut, while the hoses should be replaced, you can spread the holders open and regain brake function.
they're open sided and just crimped around the hose when new and turn into very tight pinch off clamps when rusted between the hose and bracket.
Thanks for the info!
My 83 305 had that exhaust system. Added a dr gas X pipe to it 20 years ago where the pipes meet under the driver seat. Worked extremely well, flowed well and was quiet.
You can use the exhaust manifolds, because all you have to do is put plugs in the smog holes after you put some heat on them to get them our.
That's how we use to eliminate all that BS when we de smogged anything that didn't get headers.
Those should flow better than even the rams horn manifolds did because of the larger outlets on them along with the longer tubes off the end exhaust ports without the sharp bends restrictions of regular cast iron manifolds.
Since you're going to use the big ass blower on it you need all the flow out you can possibly get in order to tune it halfass correctly.
Unless you install a huge top pulley, and choke it down to minimum capability, and I don't think that one will really go too low on CFM's anyways.
I could be wrong, but I would check with the blower shop to see just how much they are capable of moving with the smallest pulley available, but then you still have the two 650 cfm holleys sitting on top that will have to be jetted down as small as you can and them not bog down.
Unless you can make them into a two stage setup to where you only use one until WFO throttle is applied, but you'll probably kill the blower surge that's so f'in kool about blowers
Thanks for the info!
The headliner flowing in the wind is simply majestic.
Another great video Mortske, Duff, Mojo and Chin.
glad you enjoyed it!
The more you show this van, the more we realize that this is a super nice van!!!!!
A year from now, I might be in Florida, living in one. By the river, of course. The things we do for a girl...
Mortske Minutes, speed will it runs, time lapse with scootin music, and background Mojo setting the pace. Fun show today sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Mortske for the will it speed run! That's a yes to budget blower shenanigans!! After the fire at the Hydra Matic factory, GM made sure they had plenty of fire trucks at the factory, I know someone with one of them and the funny thing is that it's powered by a Chrysler industrial engine!
Thanks for sharing! That's funny!
🗿💨 be careful stepping off that bobcat, don't let that Camara make you break your neck.. strip it to the shortblock and reassemble with bb oil pump and fresh chain n such. Thanks for sharing Mortske 👍✌️ unhealthy valve system will cause backfires, backfires will cause blower damage.. 🙏🧲
I also love how you and puddin be putting the Easter eggs 🪺 in yall videos I really think that's funny asf. He be Goin in tho having me dieing . 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
If the engine doesn't work out Mr. M, you could always park the carcass somewhere out on the Prairie. Every town needs an Uncle Rico! Gosh!!!
down by the river!
Monday Morning Mortske best way to start the week
Vans are great for storing everything. Been there done that. Good motor and transmission for little dollars good deal.
Loved that roof liner flowing in the wind like something out of a horror movie. 😮
I'm feeling your pain on the half and half metric and SAE fasteners on the vehicle and I will never forget when my tool box had doubled in size to work on things in the 80's and 90's. 31:07 31:08
good times!
I remember being younger and hearing. "this car hasn't ran in 30 years". I thought that was along time. I'm in my 30s now and wow. Has time flown
No doubt! I realized I had the same issue. I put it outside for te shop space and kinda forgot them😢😂
Time flies when you're having fun!
Mortske, wanted to let you and the subscribers know to tip a cold one to Marcelo Gandini designer of the Lamborghini Miura, Countach, Diablo etc. Just heard we lost him yesterday 3/13/24. 🍻😔 That man had an eye for automotive beauty.
Thanks for sharing
Really this was too much fun, seeing you wrestling the dog house! Thank you, I thought it was just me having to do that. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼👍🏼
our pleasure!
I love the "checked for bodies" X's all over it.
I would like more video on that “61” bubble top , put the blower motor in that machine & make a gasser , that would be a cool going to town rig !
Locked up caliper makes a great line lock 😂 Bible Banger van for the win!
exactly!
Will it Run? - Speed Edition is my new favorite thing. It's fun (to watch) and chaotic. About as close to exercise as you're going to get, Mortske. 😂
Bahaha
I used those " factory headers" into 3' exhaust on my 327 solid lifter aluminum heads 750cfm holly approx 480hp they worked great and never leaked
good to know!
Great episode! I will be very curious to see how long that beast lasts with a blower on it. The idea of pitching it into an early Ford hot rod is AWESOME 👌.. Thanks for all the great tips and "useless" information!
Brilliant! Our pleasure!
46:29 first time I saw a G-van getting an engine pulled was high school auto shop, it was a raggedy '76 G20 with the 400 coming out to go in the teacher's Hugger Orange '69 C10 short wide. And yes, he had students taking air nibblers to cut the front of the van completely off. No reciprocating saws or grinders allowed. That was for second year students, us first year kids were rebuilding a nice little fleet of Quadrajets. Probably to also go in teacher's C10, if not soon, eventually.
So in the 80’s a buddy and myself took a wrecking yard TH400 long and had the clutch bands replaced with Steel racing bands. And a shift kit put in. Then we changed the output shaft from a TH350 short. Basically making a TH375. That trans went through 9 racing engines and four cars. It was in my 78’ Camaro RS custom. When I blew the engine in the middle of nowhere near the Az. Ca. Border. I had to leave the car for about 3 days before I could make arrangements to get it. It was gone !! Stolen. Never found.
thanks for sharing!
Theirs good stuff in the van man the possibility’s are endless 😂
The way the engine was popping through carb on accel,I would be looking for flat lobes or disappearing ones on cam,they were bad in those years,valve train was noisey also,good indicator.
it's an old quadrabog/dog, it's guaranteed the accelerator pump hasn't worked at all in 25+ years and poorly for 30+.
yeah, clearly I've worked on and rebuilt just a few of them(dozens upon dozens and many others, small engine to multi-carb racing cruft.). 🤣🤣
Love watching these chevys bring tears to your eyes, hell yeah put a blower on it.
Now we’re talking!!!!! I want to do this with my 87’ van just for S&G’s. Lol.
may as well!
I think you should put that blower motor in that 36 or whatever year truck that was you worked on a couple episodes ago. That would be legendary
In 1974 my dad bought a new Chevy Beauville Sportvan G20, from United Chevrolet in Worcester MA, in colonial yellow (I think thats the name) with white bodyside 2 tone, with a plaid cloth and vinyl saddle color interior, 110" wheelbase with the 2 bench seats so it was an 8 passenger. It had a 350-4bbl. He drove it about 150k miles and we took lots of family trips in it; way better than his previous 1970 Ford Ranch Wagon!. My sister and I still reminisce about that van! It had no rear heater so whoever sat in back froze! Great video and trip down memory lane.
thanks for sharing!
“No walk around”. Proceeds to do a full walk around. lol. Love the channel! Look forward to Mondays.
habits die hard
As someone who drives a 90’ BEAUVILLE
I was entertained by this episode.
Those rear doors are worth a pretty penny by the way, if there isn’t a bunch of non visible rust.
look for the sheetmetal strap that holds the brake hose. they rust jack and squeeze the hose. a simple screw driver twist can open the strap up and bobs your uncle brakes unstuck.
45:33 PBG shoutout 1000% approved, Dalton has vans that Boot (4x4), Scoot (454), and Boogie (bom chicka wah waaaoooh), also a never ending stream of Pontiacs that each one is worse than the last, but he still gets 'em up and going.
I personally like the longer videos; they are always the best time of the week.
Good to know!
Certain Van doors are worth some serious coin and good luck finding them too! Man that truck in the background looks so Cool!!!
good to know! Sell you a set!
@@MortskeRepair lol! My buddy just scraped a van for a set! Camper van!
Just gonna tell you them sh!t diggers on the back are TBC Corp made by Cooper. I got 28 years at the Texarkana Arkansas Plant. That's pretty neat!!!
The first Car I can remember my Dad having was a 41 Oldsmobile 98 with a 'Straight 8 and a Hydromatic. . We took it on a trip from Washington State to Minnesota in the early 50s.
Thanks for sharing!
I like to see how fast you can change the transmission probably about 2 hrs must be the easiest transmission to change
Sounds like the exhaust is clogged
You may want to google "the grenade" turbocharged 350 build if you've got some reading time. Fella took a bone stock 350 and chucked some turbos on it and made it run pretty hard. Never killed it either. Making a boosted motor live is primarily keeping the air/fuel ratio and ignition timing safe.
Hell yeah! Blower that motor and let her rip! 😂
The hippies in the 60's & 70's loved the V.W. bus ...
But soon the song "My Chevy Van" song was popular as was the Chevy Van craze..
My brother loved em .
I went hunting with a buddy on his grandpa's farm & behind the barn under a lean to was a 79 Chevy van , short wheel base with a blown engine . (305)
I asked the old man about it & he said , the motor is busted ..
Then he said , "Chevy didnt put a dip stick on these vans for some reason "
"Thats why the engines went bad. You could'nt chk the oil"
I didnt argue & bought it for $800..
It had less than 50k miles on it but whats more , it still had the original tires..
It was red in & out .
It had power windows, cruise , tilt , a.c. , 4 captains chairs & a couch ..
We dragged it home , swapped the motor & set in making it my brothers conch cruiser .
Cragers , headers , side pipes & shackles to lift the rear a few inches...
I still like the old vans ...
Thanks for sharing
😂😂Chris Farley, what legend
absolute legund!
As always a pleasure! Good job guys and always learn from your content!!
Glad to hear it!
10:14 Daaaaaang...heard them shots all the way from Pott County 😂
The world is introduced to the Mortske blown Small block. Old used engine. Exhaust manifolds n top that puppy with 4 Rochester 2 barrel carbs. 😂
Really ready for the hopping up the great van. Cracking it out of the vehicle and and no converters someone else took care of the clogged ones. LOL 😆🤣
most of vans from that era, had 4 bolt main bearings. my first choice when building a motor for my other projects
Don't forget to use the 👍 Because with out clinking on that and alot of views Mortske & Duff will have to live by the river in a van 😂
ya!
That seemed to be the slickest v8 removal from a van. Looks like spring is coming!
Amen --I know how you feel! That is why I retired! Keep them coming and I'll watch them!
That knocking was one of them Nuns - she was thumbing for a lift and you bounced over her looking at the engine!
Those Beauville nameplates would be cool to put on my old Silveraydoh.
Be the only one!
@@MortskeRepair Exactly. It would be a head scratcher.
Fire 🔥 at least, time for a Mortske Repair shop fuel system with a new fresh Quadrajet and she is a runner!
The Hydromatic originally came out in Olds in 1936 FYI. You need to take that 350 with the Blower and the turbo 400 and build a Rat Rod . With all good parts you have it could a wild one but I'm sure you don't like them😅
Hey Mortske 👋, great video today. You can never have enough storage. Thanks for sharing, and have a great week ahead 👍
Same to you!
The roof liner blowing in the breeze that’s great😅
