EXTREME Budget Build - Motor Built From Spare Parts For My 1968 Camaro

Today we get to work on the motor is our 68 camaro. A few weeks ago we placed an old long block between the rails then started working on the rust repair. A little while ago I bought a bunch of left over small block chevy parts and today it finds a home.
Carb, intake, headers, water pump, valve covers, you name it.... I got it used. Hopefully it all goes together and runs properly.

This is the reason I like this channel because anyone can throw money at a project and build a car. But it takes talent to build one out of junk. I've been doing this almost 40 years and built many cars out of rich people's throwaways. JS

[@DDSpeedShop]

I love me some left overs haha

[@eddievantailn2882]

Have you ever owned a muscle car?

[@karlstehle8750]

Junk is junk until it isn't. Junk dealer (on video or not) is a junk dealer. However a proud junk dealer is in a class all their own.

[@eddievantailn2882]

@@karlstehle8750 Please expand your comment, I'm truly interested.

[@MissionRestomod]

I almost like using something I saved and didn’t have to buy than just buying a new part. Satisfying. A whole build from those parts is next level.

Mr. Gasket overhaul kits, were sold to EVERY backyard mechanic ,in the 70s

Dani and Dan, I’m finally going to say it, everyday I start to say it and then I get wrapped up in the video and I forget. NOT TODAY, today I’m gonna say it, THANK YOU!!! I have no true way to realistically describe my feelings in the afternoon as I look forward to the DDSPEEDSHOP streaming educational program, brought to us in living color. You two are both amazing people and my pleasure to watch. I have actually stopped following a couple channels because of the lack of respect for shop safety and respect for the fact that they are supposed to be an example for people who are trying to learn. Dan, you truly are a gifted man who shows respect for the community and people who are watching. Thanks to you both! You remind me of a sleeper car, at first glance a person has no clue, then, You hear it and realize there’s a whole lot going on underneath the hair and hat. Love you both.

[@russellfuchs7903]

I love it, Dan the sleeper car. New a.k.a. 😂

[@russellfuchs7903]

Can I get a DDSS multi tool! I wanna be cool like you. Seriously though can I?

We always kept 2-3 of those Mr. Gasket rebuild kits around for both small blocks and big blocks back in the '70s!

[@hasbeengood]

Dan!! You're a force of nature.... unstopable! You get things done.

This is a nice budget build for you and a nice project for the future owner. Looking forward to seeing it run and go 🇨🇦

Dan put that big block 396 in that Z28 would make who ever buys it leg get stiff every time they get in it so true nothing like the sound and feel of a BBC

[@richardgeer1931]

Just amazed on how fast the videos come out ! And work being done Just waiting for a bunch of people to pop up in shot anytime now

[@user-eh6og9lo9t]

Alright, alright, alright !!! I used to paint them old cork gaskets with flat black paint all over so as to keep oil seepage to a minimum - it works pretty well. Same with the cork pan gaskets. And don`t overtighten the little bolts !!! Not long before she makes some HEAT !!! Rave-On Danni and Dan !!!

The no mystery Camaro, no surprises hidden by a bomb can rebuild, you can really see what you are getting into if you buy it. Here at DD Speed Shop auto sales bring your wallet and your trailer to make your hot rod dreams come true. Some vehicles may have extra surprise items tucked away in the trunk as a bonus.

I have the same set of headers. Had to install the headers first, then the steering box.

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video.

[@rayfunk5659]

I think you need to add some flexi hoses and sell that pile to Mortske just so we can watch him pick it apart and use some uncivilized language when he discovers all the silicon.

[@DDSpeedShop]

He'd learn a thing or 2 taking it apart

Hey Dan&Dannie Good of you to get the car into a "mover," I am sure the future buyer will appreciate it. Take care 😊

[@jamesf4405]

Dan, Daniel my brother... You're a good man and you're trying to do right by the next owner of this Camaro, but you're wasting your time. Send it on its way as it sits. Whoever buys it will have to redo all of this anyway. You're the greatest! Signed - Your true friend, the Cancer guy! 😊
