Forgotten C10 Gets a NEW ENGINE

[@scottpetersen8386]

I like the little guy working with his dad,great memories made

[@mikemullay5622]

Don't spend the money on the bling until you have the engine and transmission in the truck. Save the budget for the unexpected issues that inevitably arise. When everything is installed and up and running then you can spend money on the upgrades. This engine for your needs is far superior to the LS. It's all cast iron, with 4 bolt mains, it is carbureted which means no computers or engine management systems to deal with. Keep this project simple and keep it inexpensive.

[@Averagegunenthusiast]

Good comment, I went LS swap because I blew up a 383 that was a 500hp engine. The LS swap cost me 5K not including transmission, about 1K of that was misc things like bolts and other unexpected things. It cost me as much as it would have to build another 383 and I made the 700r4 work for a while. I don't regret my swap and in my application I couldn't use any stock small block chevy parts, I needed a rotating assembly that would stand up to abuse, roller cam swap ect so the cost was a wash with the LS being a lot more driveable at that power level. With that being said anything over 300hp in these old trucks is a lot, you need better brakes, suspension and tires just to make 500hp safe in a 60s truck.

[@rickydrone9274]

Excellent reply !!!!! K.I.S.S.(keep it simple stupid) is the saying.....lol! Keep that baby retro!!! As far as I would go with that as modern is fuel injection and probably headers as you mentioned. Put all of your money into tearing that motor down and replacing all of the parts and gaskets that could fail in the future. Would be a great learning experience for you. The other thing I would do is suspension upgrades. The best of luck and you will have a great dependable truck.

[@greenshovel]

This guy knows what he's talking about! Keep that motor!!!

[@chasingthatdreamcar2505]

Your kiddos are on point. That older one will be building motors in a couple of years.

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

You might want to keep those exhaust manifolds they are very rare Rams Head exhaust manifolds they are high performance remember 4 bolt main 300 hp way more power than that truck needs.

[@shawnmcgrane991]

Love the videoes. I did this same exact swap 35 years ago to a 1966 c10. Jus clean up motor, new gaskets, double roller chain. I put in a 350hp 327 camshaft. Paint the engine up and you be good to go, AND it will still have stock look. Good luck, looking forward to the progress.

[@brucehunter8203]

Had that Engine in my 73 Camaro, which I transplanted from a 69, and nobody could beat me at all, and now, you can have fuel injection, and all the other things you are adding, you will love it, without dropping another dime into it, You Have a Treasure Engine there!!!!

Be thankful for the engine you got I mean it's a 4bolt etc.a bloody good engine and nothing wrong with the ram horns cause they work and will save you money It will push that truck along nicely for few years yet.

Hey JD. First off, 14:49 - That is the best... when Laura smiles, 100,000+ smile with her.👍😄 You two have some great chemistry. Glad you went back and got that engine and transmission. I believe that was a good deal for that setup. Chad sounds like a really knowledgeable guy and a good one to have on your side. I'm looking forward to this swap, man. Obviously, you're motivated to get it done, so I'm sure you'll be fine. Logan already has experience, so he can walk you through the process if you get into a jam.😉 Great video as always, JD. I didn't want you to wrap this one up. Y'all have a great night.✌

[@richardspringfield28]

Even though it only has 81k miles I would do a timing chain set and a oil pump since you are putting it on a stand that way better safe than sorry and go ahead and do the rear main seal and front crankshaft seal when you do the timing chain it comes in the timing cover gasket kit anyways. and I would wait till after you clean the upper side off with kerosene that way all .the sludge does not stay in the oil pan its coming off anyways to do the oil pump clean the oil pan out then. Oh yea love the mustangs but I'm also classic Chevy fan My first ride was a1966 Chevy C-10 longbed fleetside 327 auto.p/s p/drum brake,my second vehicle was my1977 Mustangll 302 auto.

glad to watch another C10 build besides mine and teach them young and that's cool you let your son help.

[@derekrogers3426]

Make sure you get truck motor mounts, and find a 700r4 transmission, nice 4 speed. Look for a genie shifter, looks like an old school stick shifter . Just push the pin out on the 3 on the tree leave the original steering column

[@jeremyschmuhl8127]

700r4 are junk been through way to many of them even with mods stock engines are 2 much for them

[@stevetaylor6141]

That truck reminds me of my 1960 chevy short box step side I have cant wait to get the 350 running I put in it

[@TrojanHorse1959]

Are you keeping it old school? If so, use a "3/4 Race cam," aluminum Torker intake, fender well headers, wide steel wheels on the back, narrow steel wheels on the front, use GM center caps on wheels, use either side pipes or 3" or 4" stacks out of the front of the bed with rain caps on them (those rain caps will play a tune with the 3/4 Race Cam in the engine), fuzzy dice hung off the rearview mirror, and more I cannot remember right now.

[@joeolimpio156]

Congrats brother!!!! 359 4 bolt main cant go wrong with that . You will be fine hooking that up

[@MclovingTurtlebeaches]

Polish and ported heads , a cam some long tube headers but shorty work to a little maintace and paint the block 🤗

[@chrismooney5737]

Definitely made the right decision can’t wait till we all see it in that truck and I would keep it in there

[@mattsez2879]

HEI Dist is a 1 wire install so good choice. You can also get a 1 wire alt off a late 80's GM car or truck. Im worried 300 hp ( new ) will snap that trans and / or rear end on the first drive. On the bright side, that clutch will slip A LOT so that will help? You were worried about using the auto trans because youll have to change everything, however, the trans will not sit in the same place with a small block, so your going to have to re do everything anyways, including the trans cross member and trans mount and drive shaft

[@emilytate8831]

You have given me so much inspiration ❤️ I drive a v6 mustang 04 but you make me wanna build it and block out what people say about it being a 6

Don't forget that's a leaded gas engine most likely you're going to have to change the valve seats and you're also going to have to run a high zinc oil in it! You're also going to have to run unleaded additive in the gasoline if you don't rebuild the heads!

I say put a different cam in and different intake and yes headers and just to play it safe change the rear seal it might not be leaking now but it's easier to change it now then later

[@BigSalP]

Did you ever get the casting number off the side of the block for me? It's the numbers with the large letter GM right underneath them. Please let me know what they are so I can verify the block. If it's what I'm looking for I'd like to get the complete engine from you.

I would just clean the outside and get it in the truck running and driving first then put the upgrade valve covers and headers save the budget on for the necessities until you know it’s good engine for the trucks and your driving style

[@leonardwalters154]

Lol so wifey thinks we're going to have some comical entertainment with this motor swap, I agree with the one fella , because with leaving the 3 spd in your gonna need flywheel bell housing and a good clutch, along with 350 frame mounts, just to start

[@terryharrison8384]

For the time being you might want to keep the old stock ram horn manifolds they flow almost as good as short headers and seal a whole lot better

[@Reroy55]

Do a compression test on that 350. Those exhaust manifolds are just as good as headers.

[@bryantripp3129]

Old school mechanic I like it

[@jtepps5289]

If you dont wanna change the steering colum out to put that automatic in american shifter makes an automatic transmission floor shifter so you dont have to mess with the colum at all

Wow man 350 4 bolt main 300 hp wow that is nice. This truck is going to burn rubber for a city block.

That’s a sweet bench he has I have a ton of plates might have to do it

[@chuckhaynes6458]

I believe the correct color for a '63 V8 truck engine was gray. The first time you put your foot in it the 3 speed will become small pieces. It was designed for a 185 hp. 283 max. If you really want to break things and stay on the cheap get an L-79 cam, intake manifold and a 2818 Holly. You'll need to do a bit of homework about these 350hp. 327 mini monsters.

[@driveventures7445]

For pretty much the same cost of the shorty headers,I'd use the long tube,and 3" exhaust. That seems to be the best flow combination for the 350's to breath right* If it happens to be a lower compression setup,then 2.5" would be fine

Personally I would get a fuel injection kit, they make multi-port systems and carburetor replacement throttle body systems, it would be a good idea to run new fuel lines regardless of what you choose but with an efi system you get old school looks and modern reliability and the good ones are self learning/self tuning as well.

You’ll be tearin. A party he Collum in not time to replace bushings . Just put a floors shifter for 3 spd manual . ( ya gotta cut a hole in the floor ) then you be golden . It’ll rip at lower speeds . But HWY shell whined out and to the floor70 mph as she’s low geared . Trans and rear end . But lay rubber for ever . Or put The Auto trans in rite off , should be a turbo 350 . Get the rite yoke (trans end ) find a drive line take to shop with total over all length and universal joints to match rear end . But a 3 spd floor shifter on the floor they dress out pretty nice . ) then think on rear end gear 456 always worked for me gives great low end and top out 140 mph. You won t go that fast but you love it . If ya stop there the cash won’t be bad ! But if ya do all yer bushings and shocks and front end rebuild . You be in it another 2,500 but still don’t know what you paid for that old Beauty. But 600 for the motor 500.00 to clean and dress and mount . ( that big Holley mite need a better fuel pump get a electric with pressure gauge) and 2,500 for headers driveline , rear end gears and bushing , shocks . 3-3,500 , plus the cost of the truck she will be an amazing truck and yer doin the bed nice . While yer under clean and paint everything gloss black keep rust down and she’ll look good . Good luck wish I was a younger man I’d find one and do the same !
