how to start a chevy 350 on the engine stand / engine for the c10

just wanted to show how i start a chevy 350 on the engine stand not saying it's the right way just showing my way. When I got to the starter wires I said, "little red starter" and meant to say "little red wire" which is actually a purple 10-gauge wire that's on the truck or car. and it's not a coil on the starter it's a solenoid that activates to turn the starter over. Not trying to give wrong information or confuse anyone.

I love this video because it is simple to understand and helps a ton for beginners who don't know the basic requirements for starting an engine on an engine stand. I just rebuilt my first 350 and am about to do this very same thing.

Hello from Romania 🇷🇴 Long story short if you can have some direct info and recomandations would be great. I have a 1993 5.7 LT1 Camaro 💪🤠 And i have another 3.8 camaro from 1997. And i whant to swap that LT1 in the 3.8 because that one has a better body and has proper papers to be driven. But i also whant to carb swap it, why ? Because of the Optispark! Its a verry simple budget build and i have some questions. What does that engine needs to run from EFI to carburator?! After some internest searching i know they have that GMP Chevrolet Perfomance intake that bolts right up on the LT1 for a carb swap. I need a carb obviously, like a 650 CFM, a hei distribuitor, wires and plugs, starter, alternator, water pump, radiator, and what or how many ground wires ? I have i think 700r transmission, it has that tv cable ans 16 bolt patern for the oil pan, at least thats what people say on the internet. I know i need a manual valve body for it to change the gears. Is the 3.8 K mbemer the same for these cars ? From 3.8 v6 to 5.7 v8 ? ( Personal i think they are ) And what can i use for gauges ? Simple stuff nothing Corvette fancy 😅. Well if you have some time to give me some advice in this build i would apreciate it ! GOD BLESS FROM ROMANIA 🇷🇴✝️🇺🇸

Great job. The engine looks and sounds great. But I don't trust that engine stand. The vibration of that engine might cause the engine-to-transmission bolts to break, or that whole assembly might tip over, and then you're REALLY going to be in a very rough spot. Be careful.

Same as James! Thanks for doing this, straight to the point. How long can you run it like that with no coolant though?

[@w8e0s6t]

Thanks bro 💯😎 and good question... glad you asked because that was one thing I forgot to mention...I wouldnt run it no longer than 3 to 5 minutes they way I have it hooked up right there...it being with out radiator or coolant...

[@stevenulbrich4969]

I just rebuilt a 4cylinder Mercruiser for an old project boat. (the engine is an 87 120 hp 2.5 liter Chevy) I tried starting it today, using your set-up. It turned right over but didn't start. That's OK because that is still a freaking awesome feeling! It just backfired through the carb. I think if I turn the distributer a nudge it might fix it. I built a 5.7 350 last year, but I didn't try to start that on a stand. I wish I did though... 3-5 minutes should be good enough to see if it leaks, but I might thy to rig up a water hose just to be safe. If you know, should I turn the distributor clockwise or counter-clockwise ? Thanks for getting back to me!

[@marcm3017]

Hey quick question. What ga wire from distributor to battery did you use?

[@w8e0s6t]

I used I think 14 or 16 gauge,it wasn't that thick and really don't think it matters but I know from a car or trucks it's at least a 10 so any where close to that you should be good ...

[@peterbarnhardt8573]

I have been looking for a video like this. Maybe you can help me! My son and I are rebuilding a 1983 GMC k1500. He had the motor machined and we rebuilt it to a 383 stroker. we have added Holley EFI complete system and Mid mount accessory drive. Is the mid mount accessory drive what you have on this engine? We are rookies and are learning as we go but we are scared to death to mess up his engine when we start it for the 1st time. We have the engineer and transmission already married up and mounted to the restored frame. No body at all so everything is accessible. What did you do regarding water pump, AC compressor and power steering pump? in regards to fluids and such. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@w8e0s6t]

Yeah no problem bro ,not sure I did it for my brother n law and it was just a after market serpentine belt system,I don't recommend what I did but I actually ran it empty but keep in mind it was just for a few min the most ..if u jst want to here it run don't run no belt to ur pulleys and you'll be fine ..jst feel the heads every min to feel when it builds heat jst don't let it get to hot and you'll be okay hope this helps ..get back with me if you have any more questions or I didnt answer your question for some reason ok, hope you and your son get that bad boy going ....😎🤟

[@w8e0s6t]

Quick question though ...is the motor already broken in or ?..if not jst rig the radiator on there for now and you can run it long so you can break in engine..if that makes any since ..😎..if transmission is connected jst unbolt convert and you'll be ok...if u leave it bolted transmission will need to have fluid and transmission lines will have to be connected.if u unbolt convert you won't have to worry about that hope this helps you and your son in getting it figured out .

[@peterbarnhardt8573]

@@w8e0s6t it is basically a brand new guts in the old block. New everything. pistons, rings, cam shaft, roller rockers, billet valve covers, hedman hedders, etc. we got the new radiator coming tomorrow so we can connect the it all up including the transmission lines. We also rebuilt the whole TH400 transmission ourselves. So the plan is to add fluids and to make sure we don't have any leaks. My main concern is the power steering pump and the AC compressor. It worries me running those without have the systems installed, but I don't have any idea how I would bypass them. I saw where you were building this engine to put into a C10. How did it go?

[@augustusappling139]

awesome. thanks man. do you have to run a ground from the pump and tie it in anywhere

[@w8e0s6t]

Anywhere on the block ,cylinder head or pump will work just fine .how I got my battery mounted in the back of my truck I ground motor to frame and the back goes grounded from battery to frame ..if. That helps any.😎🤟

[@w8e0s6t]

But yes ground cable goes mounted to engine any where on them 3 places

[@briannielsen7176]

I have a sbc and am confused where the ground is on the starter. I have the main power two smaller bolts across from each other another smaller bolt below that and one long bolt that attaches from the silinoid to the starter.There isn't another big bolt like you have for the ground.

[@w8e0s6t]

When u ground the motor the starter is automatically grounded so u don't have to connect no ground to the starter jst the motor

[@briannielsen7176]

I tried starting the engine and it won't do anything. I have the power wire going to the big bolt on the solenoid and I tried hooking the slinoid wire to either of the small bolts. I'm using one of those race car push button panels. It lights up and I'm able to turn the fan on. I hooked the ground cables to the frame and the batterie ground.

[@adamshrier1165]

Brian you have to ground the motor to the battery itself, and make sure you have a hot wire running to the distributor.

[@jasons3721]

Whats the part number and type of fuel pump is that? Is that the fp that is going in the truck or just 1 you got to run on the stand? I just got a donor truck that has a bbc in it I'm planning on putting in my 66' C20 and want to run it on a stand like this before I stab it in my 66'. Thanks for the video.

[@w8e0s6t]

No problem bro thanks for commenting ..it's actually one that O'Reillys sale on the shelf it's on Edelbrock electric fuel pump 4 to 7 psi runs about 60 bucks and I did actually use it on the truck remember they always work better when pushing and not pulling meaning u want it as close to fuel tank as possible..😎👍💯

[@user-kq6rv6bx7y]

I'm to scared too run one on a regular stand. I'm going to build one from a rusty truck frame.

[@briannielsen7176]

On the starter panel the wire comes in at the toggle switch it moves to number 3 on the starte button a it goes out from number 4 to the solenoid. Then I have a power wire going directly to the big starter bolt. It should start and im confused why it doesn't. Not unless on of the wires on the start button isn't attached good enough.

[@w8e0s6t]

Not sure ,make sure the button has fire to transfer to the the solenoid,then make sure the solenoid is transferring power the the starter which is the little terminal that has the letter "s" on the starter .a light tester would help.u might have it on the wrong terminal on starter or it's jst not throwing fire to it .

[@w8e0s6t]

Srry miss understood....so solenoid meaning the one on the starter?like I said make sure it's plugged into the terminal on the solenoid that has letter "s" on the starter .let me no ok.run it direct and see what it does .

[@dippa1965]

Most definitely

[@nigelnkunzi6414]

What about those engines which uses ecu or computer box to control injectors n spark how do u connect them

[@w8e0s6t]

You can still start those on the engine stand jst have to use fuel pump that's recommended for your fuel injection system computer gana have a fire and ground wire to control the computer to send fire to it cool packs ..if that makes any since ...if u run carburetor on a ls engine the msd box gana have fire and ground to to control the box and send juice to coil packs jst bout the same thing as fuel injection

[@jaytrutrucker]

Does the purple 10 gauge wire go to the starter solenoid (S) terminal?

[@w8e0s6t]

Yeah Wich will be the little terminal on starter I think it has an s on it for start...if it gots oil build up on it probably won't see the s but yeah the smaller threaded terminal it for the purple 10 gauge ignition wire

[@w8e0s6t]

You can get a light tester to make sure that wire is doing what it's supposed to .Incase it don't want to start before taking the starter off if it's not engaging..lmk if this helps..
