Old Chevy engine spits flames before removal from rusty project truck | Redline Update #24

Time to pull the Stovebolt Six engine from our 1950 Chevy 3600 pickup truck! Yes, we know we already live-streamed us trying to get it to run, but many of you may have missed that (also the audio was sorta messed up!), so prior to pulling the engine we're gonna show you one more time Davin's attempt at trying to get this old 6-cylinder to bark up. Then it's time to break out the hammer and torch, get this unique Chevrolet engine on a stand, and prepare for disassembly.

The 1949 Chevy I bought in July got the same treatment! After setting for 30 years, a quick tune-up and a little elbow grease has allowed me to put almost 1500 miles on this old truck!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Gotta love an old Stovebolt and they do ZAP! Been there and done that a number of times working on these old beasts, back in the day. Enjoying your videos and doing vicariously what I can't do in reality anymore. Thanks

I'm 73 and love the channel. Thx for the better mike. Ps why the 4 dislikes. ??... What's not to like? Your bringing it back to life from its grave.! Giving me an incentive to get my '37 D5 running this winter.

[@ruslangaleev7825]

Guys, i m from Russia. Maybe I've got some mistakes in my speech l, but I'll try to explain what I think about your video. I wish you luck boys. It's amazing to watch the restouration proses. Recently i fixed the engeen of my truck called ЗИЛ 157. I think chevy engeen is similar to it. Honestly, it was really difficult to fix it. I'll never do it again. But you made a lot of videos about different engeens. I bet it was difficult. You are really patient. I wish you luck! I'm looking forward to your next update.

[@skn9895]

Rusya Galeev Your English is very good! Is it hard to find parts for old Russian cars and trucks?

[@libertybad]

@@skn9895 original parts yes, if you mean those parts that were made in USSR, nowdays its way better to find a blue print and make it at factory or elsewhere

[@ruslangaleev7825]

[@sledman56ify]

Another way to pull the motor and transmission is to pull the top of the shift cover completely off and up & out . Plus side to these old trucks is a hand full of bolts is the front clip and cab dont take much time to pull off either .... Great video as always tho keep it up!!!

[@garyanthony8044]

Now that's a first for me. Serpentine belts as slings. Now that's using your thinker!

[@Impalaman1968]

Watching this took me back to when I resurrected my 58 Chevy Del Rey Yeoman station wagon with the 235 stovebolt six. I bet you didn't think that the 6 volt system would bite like that lol! Can't wait to see the end results of the rebuild! From the sound of it, it shouldn't take too much to get that mill back in perfect running order.

[@barryphillips7327]

Was the 235 stovebolt six a forerunner to the Chevy Blueflame six, which in the 50,s was also used in Australia,s Holden,s known as the grey engine later model engines were red tough reliable no nonsense motors.

[@Impalaman1968]

@@barryphillips7327 Yes, definitely the same engine family. I classify this generation, the next generation ( 250 c.i.d. and 292 c.i.d. truck) along with the Chrysler slant six family as some of the most durable and dependable engines ever built. Almost indestructible, run forever if you don't abuse them, and they're actually quite receptive to performance modifications. A conversion to a modern port EFI system and the addition of a single turbo turns them into a viable, but yet thrifty performance engine.

[@kimkramer5773]

Hurry up. Owned one just like it bout 30 years ago. Can't wait!

[@JRPalak]

Love to see the torch at work. I can't believe it is possible to resurrect these vehicles that have been abandoned for so long.

[@larryanderson2008]

It is always interesting to watch you young guys doing a restoration on stuff we grew up with. I noticed your machine shop bored without pistons on hand, 101 no no, should have fitted the pistons when boring, having to file end gap of rings pretty rare if bored correctly. I used to make them bring me pistons and rings before boring, of course that is going on 50 years ago now

[@bhumiriady]

This is too cool and funny for me! Nice to see the engine running. That flames from the carb though...

[@MrBadboy198x]

[@sonyhk3824]

Big thumbs-up to Devin and you guys. Cheers

[@ftbftb8802]

With 292 comments I'm sure this has been said. When starting an old motor like you did. I use a French mustard squeeze bottle. I squeeze gas directly into the horn inside the carburetor. Sometimes called vent tube. It fills the bowl up. That way you can move your hand away from it and run it for several minutes. Works on 90% of the carbs

[@CharlesSmith-dr7bt]

Oh BS... YES you DO paint that truck, full resto. Make it new again.. None of the "Patina" nonsense.

Caught my old 289 on fire pouring a little gas into the carb like you did after running out of gas (gas gauge wasn't working in the Mustang). Nice passersby helped put it out (mostly) and then the Santa Barbara fire dept rolled up to give the engine a good wash. Walked to Pep Boys and bought some new plug wires and was on my way in a short time.

Is that a 216 engine? Looks like one. Didn't have an oil pump. The main and rod bearings were lubed by dragging tabs on rod caps through the oil. Had nice little troughs in thee pan to hold the oil for the tabs. The engines were known as, "Splash and clatter".
