Hello just come across your video I have a 1978 Dodge trans van mine has a 360 engine in it does yours have a door tag to tell what the original tires are from the manufacturer I want to buy new tires for mine I know they're 65 but I need to know the original size and my sticker is missing I am subscribing to your channel have a good night😊 I have a few videos up when I was working on mine I've been driving it for a daily driver or I guess a couple years now

At least look bad

You'd have alot more luck with a couple of socket sets at least 1/4" and a 3/8" just a thought

I had the same dice knobs and 8ball shifter in my 84 delta brougham in high school. Lol

Only the tinest bit jelous maybe

New sub here

Boy that thing is rougher than a night in county. Good luck brother! I’ll be watching.

Не хилая чувак у тебя бич хата на колёсах!! В какую цену?!

Hey man, Diehard Dodge guy here. Easy reference - Small block engines - 318, 340, 360 - have the distributors on the back of the engine, whereas the big blocks - 383, 400 and 440 - have the distributor on the front pointing at an angle. Now, for the normal pickups etc 440s went away in 78, but the RVs hung onto the big blocks a lil longer, 79-80 ish. Your example is a small block, either 318 or 360. 11:46 thats just to fill the engine oil. 13:01 Welp this is why i live where the air hurts my face 7 months a year. Fuck wasps. 14:40 Motorhomes have always been cool to me. Bein able to live wherever you want? Metallica had it right before they went to shit: "Wherever I may Roam" 16:40 Bloody hell, is that the set where the filmed "The Day After"? 18:00 dodges do NOT crank fast to begin with, they sound like a turbine engine winding up. Moreover, your battery leads arent great. 19:39 Care to try pullin wrench at -40? 22:40 - that unit is electronic ignition. The brain box to it is directly behind the battery; the distributor is a mag pickup type. 24:52 AHH YEAA THATS WHAT I LIKE HEARING 27:00 fuel filter will be near the fuel pump OR along the frame. 27:27 Good Kitty 30:00 Small block fuel pumps ride on an eccentric lobe on the camshaft. BIG Block pumps have an intermediate rod that goes from the same came lobe to the fuel pump and are a real pain to keep up while stuffing a pump in. 31:27 - socket, 1"short extention, stubby 3/8" ratchet. Use them to zip the bolts out n in, use a long ratchet to do final torque. Use flex heads/flex extentions if needed. 43:30 - the rattle are the hydraulic valve lifters - she desperately needs an oil change. May want to consider diesel engine oil; i run that in my old mopars now. Stay the fuck away from fram garbage - get Wix or better. 46:30 a delight to see the old gal move! If you find the RV side isnt save-able, you might like what i did with my unit.

Whatever happened with this build?

Sick ! Heck yeah

Here around the 37:30 mark when you retired for the day, I was left wondering about your proclivity to use Cresent Wrenches. Now I did once hear the phrase "Never rub another man's rhubarb", but even so, does your heritage go back to the venerable paleolithic "Clan of the Round Nuts"? Maybe folks just call you "Nuts", as a reminder? By the way, I'm subbing in hopes you find what you were meant to restore, a short bus.🤣

This was cool

Olha a buzina! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Im here for the Rv restoration and the Cutlass Restoration would like to see you go all out on the two🔥💪👍

New Sub👍

I want to see you restore that Cutlass interior and sunroof and i love the first rims on the back with the holes we want More some engine upgrades maybe a turbo like GNX Regal Cutlass is growing in popularity again 💪🔥👍

That's probably original mileage, most motorhomes of that era didn't get a lot of miles on them. I have a 76 Dodge Tioga motorhome that only has 58,000 thousand miles on it.

best car diagnostic video ever lol

All of your Chrysler small blocks have the engine size written on the side of the block...passenger side. On Chrysler B block big blocks you can find the engine size on a flat embossment in front of the drivers side head, The RB big blocks will have an embossment in front of the intake manifold near the distributor. The fuel pumps can be removed using a short 3/8 drive extension, and a short socket using a ratchet. The easiest way to identify the 360 from the 318 if they have 2 barrel carburetors is that the 360 has the larger of the two, the 318 2 barrel looks like a 1 barrel. One thing to note about a 360 is that it is an interference engine, and like many other manufacturers they had nylon timing gears from the factory which were only good for 60,000 miles. Great video, thank you for sharing. If ever you decide to tear down a Chrysler engine, look closely at the webbing for the mains, and the size of the main bolts, they are much beefier that the other manufacturers.

she runs! Good job trouble shooting it!

Liked, commented and subbed to help with the algorithm. Looooove that Cutlass, looking forward to more cutlass content! check out my 1986 2 door Caprice I just got, 50k original miles. Need to bring her back to life!

My grandpa bought one similar called the Dodge Trans-Van manufactured in Wellington Kansas. 440 motor with automatic tranny. We drove from Ks. up through Vancouver Canada and back through Dakotas when I was a kid.

Hola que tal,soy de argentina y quería preguntar si saben de alguna página Dodge dónde pueda buscar alguna Dodge sportman motorhome en venta desde ya muchas gracias.

I had a 36 5w coupe... wish I never got rid of it

FYI, those also sometimes have a second battery under the driver side body for all the extra things it needs to run.

I got an 86 chevy G30 Hi-cube this year. I'm slowly tuning it up and getting the engine all good then its going to be the interior. I love seeing these old square body vans getting makeovers.

I’m pretty sure your camper van came new as a dually. Look up late 70s early 80s Dodge trans van to see what they look like. I just got an 81 that I’m remodeling. For me, the size is perfect for one or two people , not too big and not too small. Good luck with yours.

without watching further,i will subscribe if the shag is pink

Shame it was parked for a bad fuel pump. 😢

Originally, all of the R VS came with a 440! Unless you wanted a V6. But the 440 was phased out on all Dodge vehicles in 1978, so if this is a 78 , you would have the low end. HP440 f looking at your hands next to the passenger side valve cover, it is too narrow to be a.440. That will be a .360. The .318's though the workhorse for dodge, wouldn't be equiped with this RV because of the weight and it has a 1 ton under carrage.

Where are you out of, i live in Washington Iowa, built lots of rat rods im friends with Cody to!

Lol that wasnt the transmission lol thats oil. Tran on inside😂

My grandfather had pretty the same van except it was white and had big burgundy stripes over the hood and down both sides all the way to the back, and in big letters said "Trans Van" (I believe in your case the wheel base wasn't changed because it was the same as my grandpa's) Trans Van must have been ordered with a little different layout but still had the huge side windows. He started taking me in the woods hunting when I was 5yrs old up until I was 9yrs old when he passed, I'm 42 now. I thank him every day for teaching me how to be a man, have respect, handle firearms, those couple years we spent together was the best memories in my entire life, I thank God every day for putting that man in my life when I needed guidance, damn sure miss the guy❤

It's a holley 2210 carburetor. You can get rebuild kits from holley.

I have a 1978 Dodge Trans-van 😂 i lived in it for 16 years. Mine is dually . The size of motor is on block. Right above the starter. Probably a 360 with a 727 transmission. I now live in a 1976 Dodge, Champion motor home. Peace and love people 🙏✌️

I'm trying to figure out what car that grill comes from.

"Look away if you like things done right!" Hahaha that's brilliant! Makes a great motto!

Cool car boring video

Finally a build video I can relate to. Who needs a car lift when there’s plywood.

my favorite car

Well ----- you are getting a good start on it ------- Rusty things don't come apart very easy at times ----- Was the fender that bad to cut up ------ maybe you are putting on new ones or Repo's ------ Wonder if Jimmy found anything interesting ------ Thank You for the video ----- Rodney

My favorite part was the double take at the LPC PD! 😂😂😂 Made me miss being home...loved the B-roll! Great episode, Levy! 👊

Loving the mix up of content. What's the scoop on that old car I see in the background of your shop in some videos?

Torque. you uploaded gorgeosu -later,

I could definitely call that a long-term home and yes that is a factory shorty but its bare Bones and has lots of potential for a build out but definitely leave with the wood interior unpainted

That oil dipstick is 1/3 as long as what's in my '92 G20 😆

I dont think someone shortened it. I had an uncle with one similar thing he bought brand new. That's why the door is on the back and not the side. Great find. 👍

Keep it

wow nice here in Canada tranny wreckers $150 set 4 tires $200 oil filters $75 carb kit $30 = $455 smile on your Face :)
