Abandoned 1968 Plymouth Satellite | New Engine is a Total Disaster!

[@autonomous_collective]

No tunnel for Ratty Satty. Put the 400 stroker in it. No holes in hood. Put mini tubs in it. Make it a sleeper. Send trans to Cope Racing Trans.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

We'll see!

[@josephrohn4780]

The 440 makes a much better stroker than a 400 block! I’ve recently done the 512 stroker with a 70 440 block with dual quad EFI!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Sounds like fun!

[@auteurfiddler8706]

Before they made stroker cranks for both blocks, a 440 crank in a 400 block was the popular option. Either the mains of the crank had to be cut down to fit the smaller 400 main bearing diameter or the 400 block opened up for 440 bearings. They almost always cut the crank though I personally would do the opposite. A low block is a better fit in engine bays than a raised block and for A bodies that is a big benefit.

[@chuckypaonita7974]

Great video bud, thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Happy holidays!

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

Good change on the project...good content and thanks.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching!

[@wanchaicowboy]

Thats a bummer. Put the effort into the 440. I like the look of the tunnel setup as well.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Me too!

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

Been there before myself. I think at this point, I'd do up the 400 block, since you already bought the stroker kit and now have a tunnel ram.. The best part of doing everything yourself, is that YOU pick the complete combination.. That is HUGE!!!!!! You will know exactly what is in the engine and that all the parts will work well with all the others.. Those head are desirable for those building STOCK racers as they are a smaller CC chamber, so they will make higher compression than most. So sell them off and but a set of Trick Flow 240's and you will be in the gold.... But above all, get with your engine builder on putting together a great combo.... This is most important... Happy Holidays !!!!!!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for the great advice!

[@derek4073]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Always great narration of your content.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks brother you too!

[@mana-ma-non3072]

Holy cow, one heck of a score 👏👏, congratulations!!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching!

[@JonnyMopar]

Damn. That’s a bummer.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thankfully we have some good backup options!

[@sachenstein]

Good score!, now you have the ram and tranz you want, send the 383 with the fury on to a new home. That's a win. Maybe check the diff, it may be a good one to keep.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching!

[@CovenGraphics]

Great find! i'm happy for you brother man!!! T-Bone has to be ecstatic! It will be a high light for him to be driven to school in a car with carbs sticking out of the hood!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

He sure will!

[@auteurfiddler8706]

Re: cylinder bores "We'll just pretend like we didn't see that." as Derek would say. It ran? I would have sure been tempted to use it in the Satellite as it was. And looked at it with a bore camera, not taken off the heads. I would not worry about the HP block since it is the assembly not the block that differs. And standard bore is a BLESSING. Also, the 516s are the HIGH compression heads. You can increase compression 1/2 point, they say, by putting them on in place of a 68 and newer head. They probably flow worse than 68 and newer heads. So, some good and some bad about using them. Before the advent of aftermarket bbm heads, guys would dream about getting the 67 440 HP heads, or the 67-65 516 heads and put the bigger valves used by newer heads in them. If they needed a valve job already, especially. At least you did not have the lifters on the wrong locations or a couple of small block lifters thrown in the mix. I have seem those more than once. Double pumpers look cool (of course they are mounted sideways) on a tunnel ram, but the 4160 types on there now make more sense. Well, any tunnel ram has barely the performance of a modern four barrel and intake, so they are just for looks. I have a suggestion. How about using an early 60's iron intake with two AFB type carbs. No need to cut open the hood. If you cut your spare hood, a six pac hood scoop is better looking or possibley a 67 Super Stock hood.

[@TsGoodTimesGarage]

The 400 is sounding better and better. You're already wanting to stroke it. Stock bore 400 is bigger than a 440 and you'd be putting pistons and boring it anyways so all other things equal, the 400 gives you more cubes. Not to mention, you could still use that 383 tunnel ram on it. Bada bing bada boom!

[@55gaser26]

Run easy low 12:s with a mild 30 over 440 a good convertor and some decent rear gears cheap set of drag radials even with cast iron heads if your willing to spend some time match porting and doing a good valve job with decent springs. The forged six pack replacement pistons that everyone says are to heavy are a cheap option and gets you good deck height decent quinch built more than one that’s ran 11:20 with them. Reasonable price builds.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for the advice!

[@wernerkeggenhoff2065]

Put a Source stroker kit in the 400 larger bore block. Start fresh at least then you know what you got. Did the 383 have 440 heads ? last 3 digits 906 ? Block should be zero deck with flat top piston. Try and get .40" quench So what you thinking with transmission ? Go through it as well to see what you have or just send it ? Finally got caught up on all your video, you've been busy David. Great to see "T" bone getting involved with your builds Keep the videos coming my friend

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching!

[@paulwortman483]

Any pics??? Never saw anything in the videos about what happened??? Just curious... That's what got me watching this channel...

[@ellisbartlett2942]

Always expect the unexpected buddy, but I’m sure you will get it straightened out

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Crossing my fingers!

[@michaelbrown3277]

Didnt you have a modern Hemi from a wrecked Challenger? Whatever happened to that engine?

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

It’s sitting in the Cuda.

[@jimmyterrell2467]

Sorry your plan didn’t work out. Luck of the draw, sometimes it’s a home run, sometimes it’s a kick in the gut! You got some time before you’re up against the wall. Throw a shout out there, you never know what may be lurking in the shadows. Good luck on your hunt and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching!

[@TheREALJosephTurner]

I feel your pain. When I had my Nova in the early 2000s, I drug home four engines before I found one that wasn't trashed out on the inside. Ancient wisdom says that if you put the slots on the Satty, your luck will change. 🤣

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Luck of the draw sometimes. Thankfully we have some good backup options!

[@rocksplace8460]

You might want to think about a little road trip to Summit Racing in Dallas Texas they have a scratch and dent section that you wouldn't believe Kevin from junkyard digs was just there in his last KZbin video and they had everything from high rise intakes to complete engines st or around half price and it's mostly all demo and display parts you should check out his last video of him taking his dad's Oldsmobile 442 to Texas on his way back he stops there and shows some of the prices on some of the things they have..... Just a thought. The only problem is you have to go there in person to get the discounts you can't get them online... It's The biggest scratch and dent they have it's the six of a small Auto parts store...

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

There are definitely some good scores in the scratch & dent section! I think a lot of the returns end up there too. I used to live about 20 minutes from their facility in Tallmadge, OH. Living that close can be dangerous!

[@garryhatchett775]

Dang! So sorry that didn’t work out. Was the engine in the satellite a 440? Maybe just rebuild that one?

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I like your thinking! 😎🤘

[@wendellwatson5998]

I bought 3 new roadrunner with 383, but they not much for racing. . All the 440 would blow my doors off.. They were a great cars and look great. The good old day, My first new car a red 68 RR cost 26 hundred , a 70 RR 28 hundred, and the 71 RR 29 hundred

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Nice! Sounds like fun!

[@jeffhammond8969]

Hmm, seems at this point it might be better to do something with the 440 and not be taking any more chances with other people's failures.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That's the plan!

[@HustlehousePA1978]

Hey! Hustle House here, we got a ratty Satty on our channel too!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Nice!

[@scottysgarage4393]

Just build the hell out of the 440. At least you know you have a solid starting point that will build into a killer engine.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That's the plan!

[@tokuzumi1]

Careful with that hood removal. You don't want to scratch the paint

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

No kidding!

[@Campbase1]

You got a nice tunnel ram out of it. Not a complete loss

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Very true!

[@stevencoughran6115]

That's bummer

[@wernerkeggenhoff2065]

383 is a great engine,,ran the crap put of mine for 7 years before i put Hemi in 69 Charger. Cant wait to see ratty satty

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Nice!

[@Jdwescott]

Thank God you took it apart,I would of been so excited and just put it in and would of not only ended up saying alot of choice words but throwing shit too.That tunnel ram is going to look bad ass on that car when you do get a engine figured out for it.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I agree!

[@scottkovacs7634]

Bored out and stroke it out to 426 I've seen it done on Nick's garage on a 383

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I love his channel!

[@PAPosse]

Put a 413 max wedge in it 😂, bummer, that sucks

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Haha I like your style!

[@tracycolorado]

Rebuild the 440 😊

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That's the plan!

[@michaeladamo1188]

Is that the original engine and heads for the 65 fury?

[@jmendo2546]

1965 66 67 ---516 are not low compression, they are closed chamber head which = small cc volume. The reason that not many people want them is they have small 1.60 exhaust valve's and bowl. They can be worked to be a very good head with work like Stainless valve's and alot of port work. Seeing now, that there are multitude of aluminum head's that could be bought for a big block Mopar at a few hundred dollar's more then getting the 516 head's redone performancely at a machine shop. U might be better off with aluminum head's and 40lbs off front of car and better cooling

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Good advice! Thanks!

[@GeekAndSon]

What rear end is in the fury?

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I’m not sure. I gave it back to the guys at Shade Tree. I just put a 4.10 in the Satty.

[@GeekAndSon]

@@rustbucketrestos6511 cool. I need a 8 3/4 sure grip 3:23 for Christine

[@scottkovacs7634]

You need to get back working on that cuda and charger

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

After MATS!

[@daegummjrc]

rebuild the 440 block and put the stroker kit in it. Machining this block probably near the same cost anyway.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That's the plan!

[@tallica8145]

Maaaaate!!! What happened to the 68 charger?

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Still got it! I'll get back on it next spring.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

I wonder if those c body front disks will fit a b body.

[@smilsmff]

can you sleeve it? If that is done it would be okay?

[@paulwortman483]

What happened to the 65 gto???

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Sold months ago.

That Fury would be nice with a new paint job etc she be a weapon 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

It could be a very cool car!

[@PeteKane1130]

If it were mine, I would tear down the original engine, run a brush hone through it, toss in new cast iron rings, bearings gaskets, etc…lap the valves and drop it back in so you can salvage some fun.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

That's the plan!

[@randyhouse219]

Dear Lord, that Chevy hood scoop gotta go!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Haha it would make a good wall hanger!

[@rangercwgbear6352]

Ohhhhh my I had this same car when I was 22 when I was in the Army no tunnel ram but had a 440 someone put in it

Man hate to say it but tunnel ram is just going to be a big waste of time. Nothing screams out of touch w the times like a tunnel ram. I don’t mean this to be negative but it’s just not going to do what you want it too. Just a bunch of disappointments. Something I learnt the hard way 20 years ago. I guess as long as it’s cool to you and the kids so be it. As a car builder , just way outdated

[@bradsrestorations1085]

I know you're not going to use the 383. As it's the original bore, someone will want it to build. You would be able to use that money for whatever you want.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I'll keep it on the shelf for now. Might come in handy for a different build down the road!

[@nathanielpotanko7880]

That motor would have ran but not any faster so would've disappointed hope you can find a machined block or choose to do it to 400 would be sweet best way to have low deck motor is stroked

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I agree!

[@wimgoesseye]

I'am sorry, but in the beginning i was starting to watch this channel to see the charger fully rebuild. But it still seems to be extended. Over and over again. I want to see the charger again

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Feel free to purchase merch & help support the channel if you’d like to see them done sooner! 😎🤙

[@daleprice8161]

I'd offer to get the car that motor came out but I live in Harrison Arkansas that a little way from ya although it would make a great project car

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

It's pretty rough around the edges. I don't think it would be worth the drive.

[@SandraOrminski]

that lookslike a bone stock 383 .270 hp 383. take your 440 apart send it out and rebuild it srp 9.5 forged pistons machine crankshaft balance. get a proper cam with that crazy torqer edelbrock intake. go through that 727 in the fury. it probably has a manual valve body thats good for your combo.back to the cylinder heads. the heads on the 440 should be #452 cylinder castings they flow pretty good stock . they run between 86 to 90 ccs. that is a bit to much as they should be milled down to aprox 80-82ccs.you can go a nother route with the aluminum heads so you dont loose compression and beleive me a 440 0.030 oversized with about 400-450 hp is plenty! you dont need a newer generation hemi. to me thats not a purist.my old 1969 dodge coronet ran 14.35 with a stock cam, 3.55s and dual 21/4" exhaust ignition curve set up the old way,electronic distributor, with 165 lbs in each cylinders. figure out that build. i would like and i"ll bet others would to see that soon to be ass kickin ratty satty screaming down the road with an insane 440 mild/wild build. go with the 440, good luck on that build!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I'd love to run 12s at MATS. We'll see! I've got a good setup coming for it that should make a HUGE difference!

[@mrpurcountry]

Do the 400 stroker

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Not a bad idea!

[@mrpurcountry]

@@rustbucketrestos6511Hi there, not sure if you had time to ever look at Just Mopar Joe he recently built a 77 400 he kept the stock stroke and use the aluminum heads and intake roller camshaft came out lighter than his 340 engine produce 525 horsepower And over 500 torque on the Dino his car turned 8 second in the 8 mile on pump ⛽.

I don’t mind the look, but the work was done pretty crudely. Not to mention I bet it weighs 150 lbs now lol

[@andynicoll8566]

Well just shows that even experienced builders can get burned in the hot rod game. I know you said it wasn't your buddies fault but he got burned too. He should be pissed also. Jack asses that do this shit give the industry a bad name. Hopefully your friend can come up with a third option.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

[@paulgilson9876]

Do the 400

Maybe in a different build. Sticking with the 440 for now!

[@robertbisson964]

Get a newer 392 with a manual trany from a junkyard like you are doing in the Cuda. Rebuilding an old engine gets out of control ($$$$) and have no garanted results. Good luck ! Best wishes to you and your family from your retired (75), french speaking, Canadian subscriber.
