I played with a small harbor freightplate compactor I for free on the side of the road. The engine had a rusted cylinder and was locked up. I messed with it for some time and got it freed up. The recoil was busted so I used a drill to start and it and ran fine! I was astounded. I would have kept running that engine if the block wasn’t cracked. It was just to test that the vibrator function worked on the plate compactor and would justify buying a new engine for it. Learning on something that you have nothing to loss on like free shit on the side of the road is a great way to build confidence.

@@MikeBrown-ii3pt this year I got a toro recycler mower, Honda tiller, Honda mower, and the plate compactor. with small repairs for the Honda tiller, and mower there working. The toro just needed a blast of brake cleaner into one of the carb tubes and runs fine. the packer needed an engine. All in all theres like $400-500 easy in profit from stuff I found around just my block alone. I gave the toro to my sister since it ran better then her current mower. I guess I just live in the perfect neighborhood where theirs enough money for people to toss stuff that's not working right and buy a new one but not to much money that they would just hire out the work. I think covid also helped as people have nothing else to do so they did some summer cleaning and tossed everything from their garages.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

@@FishFind3000 Yep, plenty of money to be made if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. I don't know what size engine the compactor has but Harbor Freight sells them all day every day. Their Predator engines are Honda "clones". I don't do it full time but I picked up a 2 stage snow blower for free last spring. The guy said it wouldn't start after setting in his garage for several years. 1/2 gallon of fresh gas and a few shots of carb cleaner last week before the storm and it fired right up. My $2 investment turned into a $198 CASH profit when I sold it for $200 on Monday.

You to can build an engine.

Assemble in the kitchen: my dad did that with me (1967 Camaro/ 327/Powerglide) handing him tools when I was 8, lapped valves where he used to park his Honda 305. Later on he pulled the engine from 1 of mom's sisters' '67 Chevelle in the carport, where it landed on 1 of his brothers' toe. After they got back from the ER he had me dump the oil pan and there was a LIFTER sloshing around in there (he always ended up cleaning up other mechanics' messes - something in common after all!).

A buddy of mine in high school built the 318 in his bedroom over the winter for his duster. That was in around 1977 or 78. I still cant believe is mother let him do it. My brother rebuilt the carb for his 289 on the coffee table while mom was out shopping and when she came home, I learned that she could swear to put a sailor to shame.

I has billing engine on my kitchen table And in the washroom floor in the early 1980’s. Then I when to work there I could work on my own cars after work. Yes I’m one of the 75%. That didn’t have the money to buy hot rod parts. I’m a Retired auto repair technician. I can buy them now. The information that you have been presenting it’s quite informative.

My mother wasn't happy about me building a warmed over VW engine in my bedroom back when I was around 19...... A hemi build would have been the end of me..... LOL

Really like this idea and look forward to seeing it come to fruition.

I love it, I just got my first garage, and an 87 ram, only half the truck fits inside at a time, I tarp off around the truck as I live in Canada. I will be following along for sure!

Tony dont give em the time of day you are a good dude and a great part of the community!

[@portalbucket5365]

Long story short, my grandpa and his brother were rebuilding an engine and it was snowing so they went inside and put the engine on the kitchen counter. Safe to say my grandma wasnt very happy when she got home.

This is awesome! I just picked up a 383 in the same condition and am trying to build it on as much of a budget as I can.

Hell yeah Uncle T! Just in time! I need to start working on the 360 in my 78 Cherokee Chief and could use some pointers and guidance as I’m 28 and somewhat of a rookie when it comes to this stuff. Can’t wait for the next vid! Looking forward to learning from you!
