  • The engine block cracked in the barn find 1967 Chevy C10 stepside! It happened while I was out of town. Let's get the truck in the garage, pull the straight six engine out & look at the crack. We also need to decide what new engine we're going to install in the truck. Should we get another straight six or a v8 engine?
    See the new engine go in the truck!

    Hey Freeman, I bought a 283 with a similar crack in the block and my dad and I welded the crack . It was only in the water jacket. It seeps a little but its not bad. That was in my 56 chevy and that was in 1978 when I rebuilt the motor in auto shop class in high school in north Texas. Like the vidio. John

    A 350 is always cheaper to build than anything else out there. I was able to pick up a LT1 with all accessories for 300 bucks. Yes I was lucky. BTW my dad bought a brand new 67 3/4 ton and I love what you are doing.

      350 might be what we do here. You're right they are cheaper to build. That's really neat your dad bought one new & a 3/4 ton. Did he buy the truck for a specific purpose or did he just want to drive a pickup truck?

    Um..... I would say the block split because a guy only put water in the cooling system and it froze. I have fixed a cracked block like that before. Well not fixed it but stopped it leaking using a product called Iron Tight.

    I’ve had that happen before. Pulling the dipstick and oh boy….I’ll tell you, That’s the milkshake that doesn’t bring the boys to the yard. Find a cheap 350 from all those people dropping LS motors into everything. Shame the freeze plugs didn’t pop out like they’re supposed to.

    • @freemansgarage
      @freemansgarage  Před rokem +2

      That's funny. A 350 would make this a completely different truck. I've got a couple good 350s 1500 miles away back home in ND. Can't get those out until the snow is gone. The Texas engine hunt begins.

    • @ryancoble4935
      @ryancoble4935 Před 9 měsíci

      Freeze plugs are not freeze plugs. It’s a common misconception and a myth. It is true they can blow out. But it will not save the block during a freeze. The plug holes are casting holes during the manufacturing process.

    I would just slap in another 250 and call it a day -- Mostly because you already have most everything you're going to need. Particularly if you're on a budget. But also because you'll find that anything more powerful is going to overpower that light duty 'Peanut' three speed transmission you have in there.
    Call me old fashioned, but I'm all about keeping the worms in the can and leaving it unopened.

    • @freemansgarage
      @freemansgarage  Před rokem

      You're right. We probably will break that transmission if we get a little too rowdy.
