Yes

Maybe that would look good in your Fiero.

I like the part where history repeats itself (again) and he had to turn the distributor 180 degrees

[@BuzzLOLOL]

I wanted to see a dyno run... drove one of these 365" engines back in the day in my Mom's '56 Caddy... wanted to see if it really had the advertised "300 HP"... it never seemed as hot as the 277 HP 371" Olds in my '57 Olds 98 Starfire...

Hi Ron. 👋🏾

I hope the video editor guy finally got his well deserved RAISE!

[@copisetic1104]

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that’s put the distributor in 180 out.

[@jeffplant3]

Me too! Always nice to get it right the second time!

[@Cupra317hp]

If you Dont have. You are Not a real car guy 😂

[@vettekid3326]

If you've ever put a distributor in 180' off you immediately recognise the sound it makes when it tries to fire.

[@Shane-Singleton]

and by the fireball that comes blasting out of the top of the carb shortly after, lol.

[@Wreckerboy]

If you’ve watched Davin build a motor or two you recognize that sound... :D

[@brandendavenport2892]

been there done that

[@smathet7766]

Or when you blow the mufflers off,like I did in trade school over 20 years ago. My instructor laughed at me. Scared the hell out of me. LOL

I know it's a mammoth undertaking this time lapse but this is exactly what I appreciate the most

[@edeckman]

Your stop-motion crew is spectacular. "Wallace & Grommet" would be proud.

[@abemarkillie1742]

Your next project should be a diesel, like an old 6.9 IDI from a Ford truck that would make my day

[@thomasfletcher4765]

Or maybe a detroit ? 😁

[@peteg8123]

Maybe one of those old Mercedes 5 cylinder turbo diesels?

[@janknudsen145]

yes it will be a 6.9 but only cause i own one that needs a rebuild

I've watched a lot of rebuild from this guy and I can honestly say that he's a badass!! Love the time-lapse videos pal

[@chefchemist7343]

A work of pure magnificence! "Roll the time lapse!"

[@dapsapsrp]

These time lapse videos never get old. The attention to detail, the stop animation and the respect for history are satisfying to watch. In my limited tinkering with engines, SBCs and Pontiacs, I never had to fuss with rocker arm shafts. What a pain.

[@robertdavidson3090]

Kudos to the whole production. Davin you are a craftsman and the result is a beautiful looking and running classic. The gold paint on the Cadillac logos on the valve cover are really the icing on the cake. Working in television and video production for 40 years I am stunned by the talent of the videographers and editors as Hagerty. The use of new equipment and tech to produce this time lapse showcases their talent and dedication. I know how much work this is and they are truly at the top of their game. Congratulations because this was really a treat to sit back, watch and marvel at the effort.

[@gglen2141]

There is just something about old Cadillac engines. They just seem to be special.

[@johnfranklin5277]

Yes, I belive that in fact my entire 58 Caddy is very special to me, my parents bought it in 1960! Still on the road. 😊

[@1958CaddyMan]

I have been driving Cadillacs since 1975. My favorite engine is the "Kettering V8" 365. I have had many. You did everything perfect. I have great respect for you man!!! I currently have a 1958 Coupe DeVille with tri-power. I love the sound and performance of that engine. When you started this series i was not sure what you were going to do. You did it all perfect! My old Cadillac mentors would enjoy this if they were still alive. Thank you so much for making this old Cadillac Craftsman happy!!

[@DZspartan6]

This series has some of the cleanest, well made videos on KZbin.

[@chemxfan]

I think Davin puts the dist. in out of time for dramatic purposes (wink, wink).

[@serpentza]

Been seriously looking forward to this one! Please do and Oldsmobile at some point! I need pointers on how to re-do my 78 Trans-Am's 403. Your 350 chevy rebuild videos were the blueprint I used when rebuilding the 350 in my 68 corvette a while back, this stuff is gold!

Been holding back on watching this video. My father passed away Jan 18th and we were in the process of rebuilding his '68 cadillac deville with the 472 in it. All thats left is putting in the re-upholstered seats. Great video, thank you guys.

[@marktroiani5401]

This has been my favorite Redline Rebuild. Thanks for making my COVID quarantine better guys.

[@hdfxrs9121]

I love the sound it makes at idle. You just know there's power lurking in there. Great job on this rebuild.

[@dfcusmc]

Had to smile when he tried to fire it up and got a carb backfire. Had a similar experience 62 years ago when a buddy and I rebuilt his '50 Merc flathead after we graduated from high school and he used a cash graduation gift to finance the rebuild. First time ever for both of us. We were working in a drive-through granary shed with a few hand tools and a chain hoist. Having no engine stand we reinstalled the rebuilt engine and the first time we cranked it got fire shooting out of the top of the carb. Took us a while to figure out that the distributor was 180 out.

[@SayedaShumonaBegum]

Wounderful sharing, Thank you so much.

[@bhumiriady]

Awesome timelapse video as always! These Cadillac V8s are quite underrated... Nice to see a video on these engines.^^

[@kyleforeman4543]

Nice too see a old Caddy rebuild,never too old too see those old one built

[@bhumiriady]

@@kyleforeman4543 I concur with you on that one. It's nice to see an old engine like that Cadillac V8 being rebuilt to factory condition.^^

[@ekscalybur]

@@bhumiriady I'm absolutely positive this one is built better than factory condition.

[@johnfranklin5277]

I have a 58 cadillac that my parents bought in 1960. Lifelong Southern California car, in great shape. It has the original 365 engine, same as this, , and runs beautifully. They are torque monsters, just whats needed to get 5000 lbs of car moving from a dead stop!

[@Derpsson]

@@johnfranklin5277 I have a 1957 and it really is a joy to drive. Silent from inside the car when just holding a cruising speed but just touching the pedal and it shows you just what it's capable off.

[@davicanarin]

the shooting and editing on these timelapse builds are insane man, so many details, you cant get it all watching just in one time, thank you hagerty for the amazing content!

[@Lantuak]

i'm not a mechanic or anything that has to do with engines, however, i just find videos like these somewhat relaxing...

[@paulwest3905]

Whew! Best one yet fellas, although the Buick is a damn close second for me. As many times as I have seen a timelapse, they still blow me away. Hope you guys got a raise this year, you deserve it!

Two things America's best... Hagerty and the v8's... Good bless America

[@lichking3711]

It's reassuring to see that even Davin sometimes gets the dizzy 180 out, makes me feel a little better about my numerous mistakes on my first rebuild. I was confused af when I had those backfires until I thought to recheck the dizzy position. Your videos are an inspiration and an example of craftsmanship

This is more than just a time lapse... There is stop motion animation in here as well. Overall, from the engine to the videography to the production, just amazing works of art to behold. Thanks to everyone involved so we may all enjoy it almost as much as you do. 👍

[@Carstuff111]

Is it weird that I find that engine to be a work of art by itself?

[@Zarkdx97]

Well he wasn't kidding when he said the video is around the corner...

[@patrickhill8748]

That was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen!!! To follow you through the build and see it come together like that is just amazing!! 180 off:) love it, been three done that:). Can’t wait for the next one!

[@Trapper50cal]

It's actually really rewarding to watch the time-lapse AFTER having watched the previous multiple episodes. It allows one to fondly remember certain moments already experienced. Good content.

OMG. This video is not about engine. It's about the high quality of filming. Amazing

[@justinfoster7291]
