Part 8: Cross Country Parking Lot Engine Swap in our 1961 Chevy Camper

If you can build it in the garage, you can rebuild it in a parking lot!

Very impressed that you didn't just give up on the adventure and have the tow truck take you home. Your son may miss a day or two of work but this type of epic trip is worth it. Some life memories being created here. Cant wait for #9.

I found these videos and proceeded to binge every single one of them in one setting. Fun to follow your trip!!

[@mycardamit]

Wow wow DAM !!!!! Been there good job guys !!! BE SAFE .

[@kennymunyon589]

Wow!! Great video series. This one was plucked from my neighborhood and I slept on it.

[@Overkill_Brad]

REALLY?! I'd love to hear about the history of this truck! ANY history of it!

[@Overkill_Brad]

Please send me an email with your contact info--I'd LOVE to find the original owners. [e-mail]

I have a 96 Chevrolet class A winnebago with coil spring Front suspension work horse chassis and I live in it full-time and travel all over with my lovely wife

[@joeculver6227]

AOC and I both hate how dependent big blocks are on oil. I mean come on, you starve them for a few short miles and boom. Such a bummer! Keep us posted!

[@ShaunMoody]

Dang, we just realized that you're not home yet! If it weren't too far away we'd meet you on I-20 on your way in and wave to you on your way back to Jefferson! We live in Cartersville. We will be looking for your next video! Good luck!

[@Overkill_Brad]

Thanks! You'll definitely be seeing it around--I don't own things I don't have fun with!

Let me get this straight, buy a old RV, expect it to drive it cross country with no prep and hope it doesn’t blow up? Lunacy…..I’ll give it a like.

[@markwintz6000]

nice hat

[@dieterlange7581]

That Honda alternator was probably tougher than the big Block swap😂😂😂😂😂. But you guys are bad ass reminds me of me and my dad used a broomstick handle for a clutch alignment tool It's all we had on the side of the road use the same all throughout bearing it screamed like a pig but we got home

[@alexshortsplus]

You make it looks easy😊

[@Overkill_Brad]

It IS easy! (provided you don't listen to everyone telling you it's not!)

[@purepontiacgarage2286]

I have it's cousin, mine is a 65, and the camper has been removed. Very low miles. It's in one of my videos.

[@danlindeke2561]

454 had "external balance" flywheel, has extra weight on edge,same as 400 small block?

[@michaelproust7891]

Good stuff.

[@tubewaldo]

Have you filmed camshaft swap from Clarksvill Ga fairgrounds? I purchased the 8274 winch from you. got it torn down soaking in solvent.

[@samwilley9653]

Good luck... Whew

[@moedog07]

When you tear it down, you'll probably find more rats nest in the pick-up tube. 😮 Or rock hard valve seal pieces lodged in the oil pump gears, stopping the pump from pumping by twisting the oil pump drive like a twizzler. (Ask me how I know about that one)

[@jimhigginbotham7974]

Why are you talking the motor out?

[@Overkill_Brad]

Because one of threads got claustrophobic and ran for daylight
