In today's video, I'll be pulling the engine from our 1962 GMC C1000. It's the original 305 cu/in V6 (5.0L). This thing is STOUT to say the least. It's a purpose-built truck motor, designed for low end torque, durability, dependability and low long-term maintenance costs. Throughout this video, I'll be showing you all many of the cool engineering features of this engine. It's the perfect example of the classic phrase "They don't make em like they used to!" I'm looking forward to sharing the updates as we make progress on the restoration of this truck! Thanks for watching!

It’s refreshing that you’re fixin’ to rebuild & refresh this engine instead of swapping it out for a V-8. It’s amazing how heavy-duty & durable this engine is. It was built for heavy use & made to last. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

So cool - 1972 auto repair in my HS, no one wanted this project engine - so me (the new guy) and teacher tore it down and o/h it. The inboard plugs were unique. It had a blown head gasket, but still ran on 3 cylinders. Was a beast to restab the clutch pressure plate. TY for great memories. My test drive after o/h took me 3 hours out of class that day - lol. Got an A in that class - it led me to be an electro-mech engineering designer, slide rule drafting, and then cadcam future. Thank you Vernon Theodford.

I owned a 1963 GMC CarryAll factory 4wd 305V6.4 speed trans. I agree this motor is a real stump puller torquey engine. One interesting item is that my GMC 305 V6 had factory 'plaid' valve covers. As I understand, engineers pulled engines off the line to be modified and blueprinted. The plaid valve covers were to let a future tech know this engine has been modified. You also mentioned the Stromberg WW carb. A fine heavy duty truck.

That engine looks to be build crazy strong. It looks like it shares some lineage with the Chevy 348/409. I wouldn't spend a lot of time and money on that distributor. The old breaker points really work very well if you set the gap correctly, which is very easy since the cap has the window to adjust the dwell with dwell meter.

They made these all the way up to I believe a 702 in³ displacement! They even made several variants that were known as the Toro flow yeah squirrel flow. They were actually for the time, excellent as far as fuel economy goes for for a V6 diesel engine. Some fishbowl and GMC newlook models had Toro flow engines in them, 6 and some 8 cylinder Turbo charged, they're a little hard to find At least from what I can tell.

@@isfeldt34 The military had turbocharged Toro Flows in '65 and'66 bus/ambulance combination Superior bodied buses. Somewhere along the way they removed the turbo's first and in the early 70's entered into a contract with Cummins to repower with triple nickle V8's. The motor pool I worked in had two of the converted buses in 1974. There were also marine turbocharged Toro Flows. Very rare today but I have seen them turn up on ebay after a boat repower.

Those V-6 motors were designed and built to run 500,000 miles. They made four versions of that motor with different cubic inches. Thete was the 305, 351, 402 and a 478. They also built a V-12 at 702 cid. One solid cast block, with four individual heads. None of these had huge horsepower, but i believe the torque rating was definitely underrated. I pulled a 66 Chrysler Inperial that was on its frame 200 feet at just over an idle. These trucks were beasts!!.. Not the best on gas, but will run forever.

Hey Saabkyle, I know you're a GM guy but have you heard of the Ford 300 inline 6. It's about the same size as the 305 V6 and was a purpose built truck motor as well. It was introduced in 1965 and lasted all the way until 1996. It had one of the longest production runs of any American made engine.

I'm a Ford & Mopar guy too, and you're right that the L-6 300 was incredibly durable, and surprised many people with their 'power'.....which was really torque. That same comment was made about Mopar Slant 6s in full size Plymouths & Dodges, as passengers were surprised to learn they were in a 6-cylinder car, not an 8.

Thanks for posting, this is a fascinating engine family. I think GMC introduced this V-6 family in 1959, as you said they were strictly truck engines, meaning they hit max torque at an rpm not really much higher than idle - exactly what a truck needs. I believe they were nicknamed the 'Hercules' series because of their durability. Coincidentally, Ford introduced a truck-only series of engines called the, "Super Duty" in 1958 - V-8s of 401; 477; and 534 cubic inches. I think the 534 weighed almost 1,100lbs.....they again were only for Ford trucks, up to the F-900s for tractor-trailers. Those engines had no business being in passenger cars, although at least one moron put a 534 in a 1929 'hot-rod'.

And if it goes out, you can replace the points and condenser back into it to get you running till you can replace the unit( ignitor) IF I GO BACK WITH ANOTHER BB V6 I'LL GO THE IGNITOR ROUTE ON MINE!! Also I think some transmission mounts would work for motor mounts! Mine need revulcanizing too but I think I'm going to try the tranny mount!

What a beast of a motor, they went for ALL the reliability back then. Sadly fuel economy will be bad if your motor weighs a ton and the water- and oil- pump specs rival a firetrucks pump :) This engine could be great for other applications too: tractors, boats, industrial stuff... A modern version of this would be the new Ford 7.3 gas motor or a V6- version of that.

MINE RAN SWEET FOR MANY YEARS until I made a bad mistake of flushing the engine and stopping up the oil screen due to that high volume oil pump!! SPUN NUMBER 4 ROD BEARING EXTREMELY BAD!! I'm debating on whether to try and rebuild it or find another one and use mine for spare parts!! Now I do have a set of the"MAGNUM HEADS" that came on the 351-401 I'll probably sell those. I have a friend who has a 305b outta a bigger truck it's the same as a 305c except for the intake manifold and water pump housing,, I might get it and put back in my truck? That humongous thing was a pain to get outta the truck!! I've thought about just going back with a 292 straight 6 or a small block Chevy,, but I always LOVED THAT V6!

Good job 👏. I didn't know that GMC V6 engines where that heavy that is a wow moment for that era of engines for sure. Here something you might look into find a turbo for that engine a small amount of Boost probably wouldn't hurt that engine the way it was built. Anyway even if you don't do any modes to the engine you have some real history in your hands. Ps you might want to have some harden seats put into the heads because there is no lead for the engine or see if there is a fuel Supplement for the engine and again thanks for sharing a classic with everyone Ray in Idaho

Do you have a model number on that carb? I have a original carb but can’t get anyone to rebuild it the right way.

We bought a 1972 GMC skoolie that has a v6 big block. I'm the wife and am currently doing the mechanical stuff (and learning) while hubby is at work. I feel so alone in getting this thing going good as apparently parts are hard to find. Just took carburetor (original) off to clean as it was spitting fuel from the top from debris from critters making a nest on top of carb. there is evidence of debris that has gone past the carb into the top inside engine block. I'm nervous that debris is further down into engine requiring work to clean inside the engine which is way out of my league although I have time on my hands to learn if need be. Info has been super hard to find in helping me learn about the engine so I was relieved to find this video. Any advice would be so much appreciated as I feel like I'm opening a can of worms 😂.

Could you share some of your research web sites and notes? I found one of the GMC V6 motors in an old truck and thinking of making an offer on the motor to go in one of my Willys Truck projects. The torque you mentioned is appealing and the gallons per min of coolant flow would make it a perfect match for an old willys truck
