We Found A Old School HEMI In A Junkyard! Is It Good?

I don`t know of any young one` like your`s that will get that early in the morning, and being cold to go out side, let alone to go look at old car`s, and also work on car`s when it is cold enough too see your breath and cannot feel your fingers. your kid`s are one in a million. May God Bless you and your family

Dead Dodge Garage (Jamie) and Tom at RocketRestorations are mopar experts, Jamie is actually in possession of a few early hemis and has videos on the differences between them and where to get parts (like hotheads) along with parts. He might be interested in those standard size pistons you have aswell! Hope this helps!

[@feron450]

Sleeperdude you should contact the guys that run the JAMSI online KZbin channel to see if they could machine the engine for you. Would make for good content for them and nice collab for both of you.

[@anthonypblake]

Agreed. They do machine work on a lot of unique engines. Not to mention that it's a father/son business

[@MichaelHoffman-wb4ue]

A collab with jamsi would be perfect !!!

I was going to say the same thing. Jim's Automotive machine shop on KZbin.

[@1980bwc]

Im not the biggest fan of Mopar, but this is a beautiful car. If you ever need any parts or any info at all about this car, reach out to Jed Scott. He has a channel on here called "Scott's Speed Shop". He's a few years younger than us, only about 30, but Ive never seen anybody as knowledgeable about Mopar stuff as him. He has a 70 Charger, and his dad has a gorgeouw 68 Charger R/T that they restored a couple years back. I think it was a 383 car, but he built a 426 Hemi to put in it. Anyway, Jed has a ton of old, hard to find, rare Mopar parts. What he doesnt have, he knows somebody who will. Even if you dont need any parts, and just need information, he's like a walkin encyclopedia on Mopar. He mainly specializes in the late 60's-early 70's muscle cars, but I know he's built at least one "Red Ram" Hemi. He's a super nice young man too. Anyway, just wanted to give you a contact, if you ever need anything for this car, whether it be parts, or just info.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thanks for the info!

Hot Heads out of North Carolina is your best resource for early Hemis. They know early hemis and They are great people.

[@vearl68]

My Brother said the same thing 😁 he posted their info on Facebook.

[@kennoland5319]

also finished watching the video. Ross pistons will custom make pistons. herbert cams might make camshafts for dodges. Vintage speed parts can be sourced but can be hard to find

[@gregallen4272]

Came here to post the same thing built rhe 241 dodge red ram they are very helpful and can rebuild the rocker arms and have special custom bell housing available to manual ford or chevy Trans and water pump adapter with engine stands the 2 x 2 intake is the best the 3 x 2 is a little to much and the single 4 bl just doesn't look right on a coup 180 hp and the stock cam can be re ground to a mild performance cam . Sanders makes tube headers center dump . Not the world's fastest engine but the cool factor is off the charts.

[@davidmiller9247]

If there were more families like yours, this would be a lot better world to live in. You guys are great. I love it.

[@RoB_666_]

Depending on how far you want to go with the hemi, you could try reaching out to Comp, Isky, Howards, Crower....any of the Old Skool speed parts manufacturers from the 50's n 60's that are still around today. There's a possibility they may still have records, part no's, profiles, specs, etc in their archives relating to that engine family....it's worth a shot. 🏁

[@1978Gargamelmk2]

Definitely a Squeeze car

[@Mopar46]

That's a nice diverse collection of old vehicles. In the 60s [we're talking Christchurch, NZ] a bloke used to race a Renault Dauphine with a mid-mounted Chevy small block, and Mickey Thompson racing tyres, at our local track; It was super fast! I'm led to believe that car still exists, today.

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

What you get paid when starting out, has no relevance to the priceless knowledge and experience, you can get from a good old timer. That is priceless in my books and I've been privileged to learn from a few. For ever thankful with great respect.

You can not deny the stylish appeal of the Style Master. I could dig on that yellow 4 door coupe with the SBC too. I hope something cool ends up happening to the '55 Dodge, it's a cool and unique ride.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes!

[@rendon_racing_products]

EGGE machine and Kanter are pretty much the only two choices for early Hemi hard parts. (Make sure you’re sitting down when you see the price) Oregon camshaft and Delta cams can weld and regrind the original cam core.

[@stevevennemann]

I believe hotheads has stuff too

[@FAIRMONTsforever1978]

Hemi heads came from the ford ardun heads desinged by Arcus Duntov for ford flatheads to give them more power. They were originally used on ford trucks used in high altitudes. I read an article a long time ago that a guy who rebuilt ardun heads, said the Chrysler hemi heads were so close, he used Chrysler valves and other parts to rebuild the Ardun heads. Ardun heads were around before Chrysler hemis.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thanks

[@michaelatkins9780]

You're an idiot sir. Hall Scott had hemi heads in the late 20s, as well as overhead cams and cross flow heads. Chrysler first used hemi heads in the late 30s on aircraft and tank engine designs for the war department.

[@andrewmcewan8081]

there were quite a few hemis around before chryslers. the rolls royce merlin was a hemi, the benefits of the design were well known by manufacturers of all engines some early motorbikes used them as well

[@michaelatkins9780]

@Sleeperdude lost me sleeperdude. I can't believe you took down my honest and fair assessment of that young mans comments. I thought you were more honest. Unsubed. Pole barn here I come to buy merch.

[@NickBoyer-hz9ku]

I think some were called hemispheric heads cause the pistons went straight up known as elephant motors really cool

[@jimhickey2276]

That 56 is a special car! Royal Lancers were top of the line for Dodge and the Hemi was a big deal, most didn't have that. Its worth saving. I wouldn't part it out until you research that, they're rare. Im kinda way into old Mopars and that there is pretty dang neat and very rare.

[@kerryhickman2235]

Backwards mullet!😂 Josh, you might try to get in touch with Nolan at Isky cams & tell him what you're building & what you plan on doing with the car. I know he does some custom build & grind cams for unusual engine combos. He may also know where to get pistons & I'm sure he knows of some good machine shops to work with. Many of the channels I watch use Isky cams exclusively for their projects & absolutely love all of his performance parts. Hope this helps & y'all are able to work together on this project. Thanks for the amazing content!!

[@Rollormotor]

Great to see you diving into the oldstyle Hemi, Hopefully you can find a network of old guy parts for them. hopefully your subscribers can help you with new old stock. A modern transmission should be able to adapt. Love to see this project evolve. Oh yes Squeeze says backwards mullet lol

I agree! This car is too complete to not think about restoring her. Now you would have to love it, 'cause it would take a lot of money and work, but for the right person, this would be a project for a lifetime, especially at a starting price of $1,500.

Just for the memory banks, the standard crank bolt on Chrysler engines was 1- 1/4 inches on up into the early seventies. The crankcase vent was referred to as a "Road Draft Tube" . It pulled vapors out as fresh air entered the Oil fill "Breather Cap". Okay, just for Squeesy, "backwards mullet". As always, guys, Great video!

In the UK, the Renault Dauphine jingle on TV was "penny farthing a mile and you travel in style, the Renault Dauphine." A friend of mine was crossing Fenwick Moor in Scotland in his Dauphine when a wheel fell off and stranded him. They sold over a million in Europe.

Early 1960s radio jingle went something like, "Renault, Renault Dauphine, with the city horn (sound) and the country horn(different sound)," ending with, "All those Frenchmen can't be wrong!" A friend had one in high school (1969). Seemed to run OK.

[@GaryCrawford-v9s]

Greetings from Florida, big fan and truly love what y'all are doing. Love that it's a true family affair. Reminds me of when I was young working on stuff with my dad. I wanted to also say I've had great luck using ATF usually used. I pour it right down the carburetor until it won't take any more and an orange cheap funnel will thread into the spark plug holes and fill up all the cylinders close the hood and give her a few days to sink into the rings and pouring it down the carburetor helps to lube stuck valves and every thing including the spark plugs come out way easier.Think about the inside of an auto transmission? Super clean, your pistons are built out of about the same aluminum. that the tranny' fluid keeps so clean .plus ATF is thinner than oil so it gets past the rings and into all the little places . If it doesn't move in the first week or so give it another couple days if possible.. I won't say I've been able to get every one broke loose but I'd say 90 percent of the time it will work. Also use the flywheel and a tire tool/big screw driver. You have Way more leverage from the flywheel. Another thing is from my experience a good engine will freeze up way quicker than a wore out engine. Rings are tighter and such you know what I'm trying to say. Another good one is diesel fuel and ATF cheaper than filling it with transmission fluid. I've even used snow bowl toilet cleaner in extreme situations but be careful with that if you trying to run without rebuilding it. Congrats on your hemi great addition to the collection.

@ I did a mention from my old channel with the only picture I still have, taken in 2016

[@lloydkennedy897]

I hope you find all the parts you need. Can’t wait to see that in the ford. Love your videos. Can’t wait till next week. Have a great week 😊

Another excellent video cheers from the UK 🇬🇧

Thanks 👍

Being British myself i had to laugh why Josh pronounced 'ren-ault' (it's ren-oh) phonetically I'm guessing there arnt many European cars over in Tennessee

[@wolfgangricky]

Tennessee mini bike should be orange ? Nice choice for the T. Those old Hemi's are Cool with a capitol C. Knowing you bought it for the engine, collabing with someone like JAMS would make sense. They have parts for it & would probably be cool with trading content & keeping the body for another project. May even trade you a running one to keep numbers matching for the vehicle. Ty for taking us along

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thanks!

[@DwaineJr.-tq3se]

You had me At HEMI

[@Sleeperdude]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@itsmephil2255]

Nothin says Murica like a hemi

[@scottmiller3576]

I used to work for a machinist who made mastodon performance heads for early hemis he might still have a set laying around. That is definitely a cool motor to save but that car would be awesome to save too! Mullet!

[@robertbourinski8286]

Japanese car manufacturers actually rebadged American cars as a Japanese car too. For instance a Toyota Cavalier, a Chevy Cavalier with right hand drive.

[@Sleeperdude]

Very cool

[@andrewmcewan8081]

cavaliers were european, designed by either opel or vauxhall

[@SlyGuy2000]

tellum! wow, a lot of work needed in that hemi! gonna need a bridgeport soon! no faster machine shop, than your own!

[@marctorigiani4558]

Man that thing was so brittle it might have blown up bad if you started it it's a blessing you took it apart I think

[@Sleeperdude]

Yeah maybe so

[@bigjarn]

We used to trickout the dual point unitd with rewire internals and toggle swithes. We'd set the dwell at two different angles one for a hole shot the other for best top end.

[@Carcrafter7165]

On the mini bike if the engine is a Tecumseh you’re better off with a Briggs and Stratton of that era to build.

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thanks

[@andrewmcewan8081]

if you end up needing another engine try one from a daimler sp250 its a similar vintage not quite as old, with more power and less weight and comes with a manual gearbox. it's still a hemi as well ,you also get them in the daimler badged version of either the mk 1 or mk2 jag.
