[@kitt7219]

Nothing beats a couple friends wrenching in a shop. TY guys and please keep the vidyas comin as long as you can. Again, TY very much enjoyed the content.

[@jennyanimal9046]

I'm glad to see young bucks like you keeping it alive. You guys rock..god bless you

[@jasontaylor9702]

Proud of you young guys. I just bought me a '63 two door hardtop! My favorite

[@johnelliott7375]

You went that far and trying to get the most good for the buck , I am shocked you didn't look in the bottom and just take the word of someone, plus as you said who knows what is in there or if it was installed correctly. Good luck with your work and I will hope you the best of luck with your new motor.

[@sgtyork9330]

I had a 64 Impala hardtop when I was 18. Had it a few years but sold it. Wish I still had it. 327 350hp and 4 speed. Originally had a 283 2 barrel.

[@philhunt3908]

One tip on the strocker engine keep a short dip stick in it when you drive and use the long just to check the oil a friend of mine found that out the hard way the long one got cought up and he lost a Piston

[@garywilson12]

glad to see you young guys having such an interest in the old cars, keep videos coming

[@harneyracing]

You guys need to pull that engine. Look close the pistons are upside down

[@timothyballinger6280]

Cool I was two for two. You guys have done everything exactly as I would have. So far I'm really impressed. On to part three. 👍

[@martydegier9279]

Dude,that things mint..&a treasure trove of parts as well.Fantastic find!

[@marktucker5837]

283 327 best chevy engine ever made they run for ever

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

I bet it will run fine! I can't wait to see it fire up! 👍

[@brandonbell8159]

Yeh with the upside pistons though 🤣🤣🤣

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

wow, looks like you dodged a bullet... You defiantly dropped that oil pan take a look in there,, that's allot mouse activity, for there not being any mess down there.

[@robertschmidt6383]

The top of the engine that's crusty sure makes me want to run it through a blast unit to clean it up.

[@thomasvorwerk9296]

My Dad purchased a 1963 Chevy Impala 2-door hardtop for me when I was in High School back in the middle 1960's I could get it up to 119 on the interstate. Wish I still had it today.

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Pull the oil pan. and clean it really good. You gotta loosen it to properly install the Timing Chain cover anyhow.

[@brandonbell8159]

And pull the engine and have the pistons put on the right way lol. There upside down

[@delhudnall9986]

love them 63s make it work and thanx

[@patmurphy5237]

I can’t wait to see if it runs. 👍

[@jennyanimal9046]

Looks super clean

[@jennyanimal9046]

You guys are making Americans proud..

[@rickallen6378]

You mean they're proud boys?

[@rickallen6378]

I would just pull off everything possible and clean it out. I never saw you turn the motor by hand on this video, guess I missed it. I see you guys are from Elk Mound. I grew up in the Spring Valley, Plum City area. Moved away in 1977. Lucky to find any descent old cars from that area with all the salt on the roads.

[@bobbysanders7725]

The only change I would make would be a three duce set up. 63 Impala is my favorite of them all and I had a 1969 Impala factory 427 automatic.

[@andymacdonald1535]

That's what's called a mouse motor converted to a rat piss motor. I'll bet it has to come out and be totally disassembled. Rat piss has probably got in the oil pump and locked it up too. Looks like they pissed down the distributor pretty regular.

[@timwhite8878]

Love these old Chevy.

[@williamsouthard5220]

Give it to me when you are done I love that car I had one but it was a 1964 Impala

[@79tazman]

That engine needs to be cleaned real good all that crap in there has gotta go If that was mine I would tear it right down send the block to hot tank it and get it cleaned before even thinking of running it

[@davidsantos8206]

Great video guys, I just wish you would have made it a little longer. And a 327 bored 60 over, should make for a really nice little screamer. Thanks for entertaining us. Looking forward to the next video

[@resurrectionauto5714]

Thanks for the support! This “build” series is shot day by day so some will be longer than others. Unfortunately today we didn’t get to work on it. Check out our other videos for more variety

[@bamadigger4342]

Gonna be clean as a whistle

[@rickbandy3862]

Drop the pan! And just clean everything good, especially after "chipping that distributor shaft out. If metal or mouse turds get sucked into the oil pump it will get to the bearings and you withh have a boat anchor of an engine.

[@jamesveltman5555]

It does. Ot matter about the motor. Rebuild it, sell it and use the proceeds for an Ls 3

[@donnahutchinson496]

Will need total teardown

[@robertsweet4112]

If anyone can make it work...its you two

[@darrellroeters4951]

Yes can fix engine easily where’s the vacuum

[@GeeenJ]

i'd take the sump off afterr the rats been in there betting its nasty with rat pee in the sump wont be good for the oil pump or bearings

[@resurrectionauto5714]

I flushed everything with a few gal of oil including running the oil pump with a drill to flush out bearings etc, was nasty the first flush

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

@@resurrectionauto5714 No way you got it clean enough. Your going to clog up the screen on the oil pump intake and starve the bearings.

[@ervinthompson6598]

From the looks of the valley, you’re going to put a lot of faith in not changing the cam bearings !!

[@davidhimeback9087]

With all that rust you need to flush that oil pump is mostly junk!!

[@timothyballinger6280]

Ok so I'm paused again. I was right it looks awesome so I'm guessing the other side looks as good but wasn't the header off the other side? Anyway maybe them head are better than I thought so I would use them. Ok unpause lol

[@daveharris7734]

I've seen mice do that before way down here in south texas.

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

Surpringly clean inside there! Did y'all know that it had been built or was it a pleasant surprise for you as well?

[@resurrectionauto5714]

The guy said it was all redone but never fired. Unfortunately it sat for a while

[@djrand62]

I saw the thumbnail of those iconic body lines and had to watch. Older sister had a 63 with the 230 and a 3 on the tree. I had a 64 SS that was factory ordered with the straight six as well (grandpa was frugal and liked the trim but wanted the better mileage). So, my first car was a 6 banger that ended up with over 200,000 miles on it. You couldn't kill those straight 6's.

[@resurrectionauto5714]

Heck yeah! Love these old things. Check out our other videos of you like these kind of older rides

[@merc-ni7hy]

ugh,,you shudda pulled the motor and took the oil pan off....and hada peek inside

[@resurrectionauto5714]

I stuck my bore scope in the drain plug and took a peek, she looks alright

[@brandonbell8159]

I think it needs more than a peek in the pan🤣🤣. The pistons are upside down!! Valve reliefs always go up on pistons.

[@joehall4569]

Bet ya that orangeish 54 chevy that side is good.

[@davidhimeback9087]

Lots of W-d40. Would be best to pill the block out....

[@timothyballinger6280]

Ok I paused, so I'm thinking its going to be ok but if your taking the heads off then put something better on. That's what I would do. Cool cool car

[@brandonbell8159]

And maybe take the whole engine out and put the pistons in the right way aswell 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️😡

[@onlyjesusisoursaviorgscast2800]

It’ll run just fine after it’s cleaned up and put back together how can I reach you I’m seriously thinking about buying it

[@chriscornelius4549]

The oil pump pick up would worry me

[@garyburchett9060]

At 3:39 I'm thinking this engine is full of walnut shells; which are full of tannic acid, but for your sake I hope not. Good luck. I know this is stupid. But you did change the oil?

[@colewilson4490]

I'm rebuilding/swapping for a 63 Impala got a few questions. It's a 283

[@mowmanjones3353]

yes

[@davidhimeback9087]

Good chance it just needs to be lube up again an work it back an forth an mostly be ok.

[@joehall4569]

Bottom's gona be good, still tryin to figure out how they got in?

[@charleshawkins532]

I think you got. A bit ain't got no no

[@brandonbell8159]

Lol the pistons are upside down

[@jennyanimal9046]

There's no way that engine was in that..its to clean

[@resurrectionauto5714]

Go watch Pt1 of the videos it explains it all. It’s a new engine hasnt even been ran before but mice got into it when it had been sitting

[@laakona8381]

does the nest under the intake mean it's a "Rat Motor"?

[@kgooch69]

It'll be fine...were you able to figure out who the cam manufacturer is and what size ?

[@resurrectionauto5714]

I did not check numbers on it but looks to be a slightly larger than stock cam probably close to a rv style camshaft. But I guess we will know for sure when we get it fired up and if it’s got a little RUMP RUMP to it or not!

[@philhunt3908]

Sad that the engine was left like that it did look like it was just rebuilt

[@brandonbell8159]

Yeh by a idiot 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. The pistons are upside down!!! Valve reliefs always go up on a engine

[@Schmitty71]

What was missing that they found their way into the lifter valley?

[@resurrectionauto5714]

Turns out the intake had the provision for the old style breather/ oil fill on the front of it that didn’t have a plug in it! I missed that in the first videos but will add it to the next! Thanks for watching!

[@chriscornelius4549]

I would be putting some diesel fuel in to clean it out before I tried starting it

[@resurrectionauto5714]

Flushed it multiple times. She’s clear now😁

[@Carl09of09]

Fixable

[@markgilbertson4917]

Valve reliefs on the outside of block? Pistons in backwards? Looks strange

[@resurrectionauto5714]

Good catch! Didn’t even realize the pistons being upside down. Just as well, not too worried being a small cam and dished piston. Having checked clearance, it cleared.

[@tommyburke5049]

especially when chevy pistons have reliefs on both sides......At least stock ones do.

[@tommyburke5049]

@@resurrectionauto5714 I think they went by markings,not reliefs.
