he just got another

I used to street race a 1966 Fury. I found a 383 from a 1970 Charger, gave it a cam, intake, carb, headers and 391 gears and gave many cars a run for their money. Heck it was three years before I got beat and I raced 5.0 liter Mustangs, Ls Trans Ams, Camaros even some import crap like those blue Subaru things with the scoop. What a great motor!

Home depot sells a water soluable degreaser for about $5.00 for a gallon. It's the best degreaser I've used so far!

on older stuff just a high psi powerwasher will do as good a job, really...you can powerwash your entire motor right down to the original block paint due to the minimal wiring

Awesome build really like this series!

Great vid!! Cool thing about Mopars is the intake is not a water jacket. I changed the valley pan on my '69 and besides a little fire (i drove it home) things went with out a hitch Took about 20 minutes.. I love what you're doing here, man Keep up the great work!! btw,,, i actually had to take a break when you said you wanted to put the focus on the 383. My '69 was sort of a rat (hey, $750 in '77) but the closest thing i had to a 'rod after that was the '72 C-10 SB/Step side that was in the family for over 20 years. Bone stock 350 4bbl 3 speed with dual exhaust but i found the tank sticker when probing around behind the seat. Nothing like a numbers matching ride. Keep on keepin' on!!

Thumbs up on the long term engine plan.

That caked mud was common back when there were lots of dirt roads. You will never see that on new cars as there are hardly any dirt roads left anymore. Sliding around on dirt roads was fun.

Nice content!

I may be a Fomoco guy but I still love the old mopars,great job keeping old iron alive.

Great stuff ive been following these videos its amazing the 383 in it is still the original matching numbers engine for the charger.A pity the car isn't a factory 4speed option but at least its floorshift

I love your videos Dylan! And you talk all you want. Your thoughts and plans on where you want this build to go are more interesting than watching you wrenching and doing things you can see anywhere on youboob. Also a highlight for me are the Featured Viewer cars at the end. Guys (and gals) have some pretty sweet rides! It's cool you feature them.

Bravo Dylan. You did very good work. I like your work. I like your auto service. You are nice man and automechanic. You look like a automechanic who can win the confidence for auto repairing.

Thank god you have the O.G. 383 for that charger, not many (I think?) hp 383 cars where made with as many options as that car has. Great work and can’t wait to see that 383 go back in, but that 440 should be a good supplement for that time being 👍🏻. As always have a good day/night from central Massachusetts!👋🏻

That 440 is in great shape to be that old.. And you should do a 383 stroker with that number match engine, that will put out 4 to 5 hundred horse power.. That would be awesome! And i love your plan on using the 440 until you get the 383 the way you want it.. Keep up the great work and content.. Peace!!

Good plans on the engines👌🏼Good explanation and great in depth as usual

Well, now I see why you're called "McCool". 😉 You make the coolest decisions.

I hope you take care of the rust on the Charger. Especially in the areas where important suspension and steering components are.

WooooHoooo, 383 baby!!! High winder for the perfect Mopar sound when doing street burnouts. Yes!

This is only meant as constructive criticism. I would leave the original 383 intact for the future. After you change everything but the block (and crank, rods?) to hot rod it, it won't look original anyway, and you risk the chance of damaging the 'number matching' block. Plus, that 440 will always outperform the 383 in that heavy car, given the same mods. Either way, great videos. I'm lovin' this project!

The total confusion when the pressure washer ran out of gas.

Very cool project, looks like a lot of fun. These cars are so much simpler and easier to work on, they don't make vehicles with this much character anymore either.

Great video again as always like watching you work.

Your a lucky man! Love the car and great vids!

Music montage during the time laps is nice great vid

Great [progress Dylan - the finished project will be sweet!

Great plan, looking good !

Hey Dylan thought I'd give you a little tip. Anytime you have a good engine your going to store for a undetermined length of time. Pull the valve covers and back off all the rocker arms. That way your valves will close and moisture can't creep into the combustion chamber through the exhaust manifolds.

440 intake will not fit the 383, angle and width are different nor will the distributor fit shaft length is different but you probably already know that, keep up the good work I enjoy what you are doing.

Nice! I'm liking what you're doing with this! It's gonna be great!

Oh man gotta love that original color engine bay!

Good plan on the 383.

Smart move to stay with the original motor! Over the years too many people tossed aside numbers matching motors to run a 440. It will be worth more if you ever decide to sell it.

Hey bro, you should send that 440 my way for the dart when you put the 383 back in 😉

That will be one healthy power plant for the charger for sure!!!

charger looking good man

I want drag in a old charger and go to work. Keep those videos coming. We need a up date on the dart.

Matching vin after all. That changes everything!!!! Nice!

Nice to get it all de-gunked and have the fresh start !

Love this series!

Looking good!

Aye glad you did the monte!

Glad you're going to put the original 383 back in. I'm in the process of ordering parts for my 66 charger 383 car so I'm looking forward to see what you do with your charger. I'm starting with the motor and suspension as well. I just ordered a pair of mopar performance original heavy duty leaf springs, shackles and torsion bars from summit. Next will be bilstein shocks and the front end suspension rebuild kit, fun stuff!!

A friend of mine has a 1966 Charger with a 426 HEMI, 4 Sp, a rare H code car, there was only like 250 built.. And i never really got into that year until i was around his a while, and then i wanted it, lol.. But his is all original, and in very good condition, and he will most likely be buried in that car.. lol..

Cleveland Maker I think the first gen charger is slowly gaining the popularity and recognition it deserves. It's going to take a while but i will post update vids.

You could put purple power degreaser in a spray bottle and let it soak for a minute, it will work great

Since it is a numbers matching car and motor I would put the 440 in it with all the toy's and I would tag and bag the 383 that way if the car is sold I can give the new owner the car and engine to match.Guy's that restore cars like to buy the complete package and do the motors themselves.That 440 would be perfect for a stroker kit that block is in very good shape no need to machine it.

On step closer to driving it!

Man if it was me I'd just do a Steve Dulcich Crop Duster tune on that 440 and while it's in your Charger build the 383 like the one in your Pops Barracuda cause that is one nasty sounding "B" motor. Keep on keeping on my friend.

Awesome ride bro. Subscribed

I like what I hear and see, subscribed.

That 440 engine should take you only a couple of hours to get ready to bolt back in. You mentioned that the crosshatching is intact: Is there a pronounced ridge? Are there any visible scuff marks? Did the engine have a knock when it was layed up? If not, clean and lube the cylinders, wash the underside of it and button it back up. If there are no scuff marks and no ridge with original crosshatching still visible and no knocking that engine is still within specification. There is a ton of information on how to rebuild a 383 cui. Mopar. The racers that ran these lumps tended to use stock over the counter parts which were at least as good or better than the race pieces of the day. If it were mine to do, my fingers would be itching to tear into it until completion. I probably wouldn't be able to sleep right until it was done. Thank you for the great content. P.S. It seems that you're a farm boy: Don't you have a full slicker? In any case, you're not made of sugar and won't melt. LOL!

I'm new to watching your stuff, just came across your vlogs maybe a month ago or so, this is the first time ive seen you do some serious mechanical work, didnt realize how much you know. Mucho respect! The charger is gonna be awesome obviously -edit: That sweet old beast is in good hands with you, agree the 383 is best as it matches the car...but...that fresh 440....so tempting....lol

rebuild the 383 and save her to keep as a match to the car, use the 440 as a ratbeater, that makes eminent sense

Cool it has flat tops in it

Just in case you don't know, the intake for a 440 will NOT fit a 383. The 440 block is taller, which makes the intake pretty much 1 inch wider than a 383. Distributor isn't the same either, for the same reason.

+Dylan McCool don't forget too save all the little brackets cause when you get to putting it back together you won't go mad and want to scour the galaxy looking for a special bracket!

That heavy duty works wonders

Great video,s

hope you already know that a cast crank 440 balances different than a 383 . using the cc 440 youll need either a counterweighted torque converter or an aftermarket flex plate with the weights . otherwise itll vibrate like crazy

goood man you have had me stikking here for 2 hours now !! i just loooove your videos . and you are living my dream in these videos - a place to do stuff like this...enjoy it !

I ordered a new '68 Charger back then. How long ago was that? Got some background over the years doing cars. I realize you are pretty well underway on this, but here are some thoughts. My basic direction process is this....do a project from the ground up when it's obvious. Tires, brakes suspension, etc, etc. I think you get the picture. Also, big emphisis on SAFETY. Have two (2) fire extinguishers, keep flambles out of the garage. Use goggles, good gloves. Bag and tag everthing that comes apart. Looking at the manifolds makes me think the original engine was 383/4bbl. I also saw the vacuum diphram for the cruise control. That car was loaded. Take pics, not just video. Keep up the good work.

Thats impressive that it even ran before you cleaned it lol, one little sensor in my volkswagen goes out and my car just about explodes

Just me but I'd get a gasket kit and a set of steel shim head gaskets (the 440 will have extra cooling "steam holes" so make sure the gasket matches) and put the 440 back in as it is. Save up for a 383 stroker kit and aluminum heads for the original motor.

Ay ay ay beauteful big up to France

If you can still see the cross hatch and it looks evenly worn down the cylinders, and it hasn't been bored yet, I'd say it's good enough to hone and re use. Save ya anywhere from 500 to a grand in parts and machine work.

I had a 1977 Cordoba but the 400 lean burn great car

New subscriber!! Great vids

Cool stuff! I hope I can make my channel as cool as yours!

How hard would it be to spray some degreaser onto the engine and giving it a powerwash or steam clean before working on it?

Cool Dylan

a set of heads , cam, headers, intake and manifold should give that motor easy 100hp

You got another subscriber 😊 Love what you‘re doing. Great work, greetings from Germany 👍

I really like that you are rebuilding the 383. The 440 after you are done with it could go in the Police car. 318's from what I have heard are not a great engine, a Police car is meant to get up and go.

from the video , I could not tell. plus I thought I heard you say it had a 318 maybe my hearing is going.

Did you fellers ever get a steam cleaner? It'd help with the engine bay stuff. Also.. does Rustoleum come in Green? Can't wait for the next Challenger video. Love all this. Great stuff Mr. McCool.

I caught your older video. Now this. Subbed l looking forward to your next video.

oven cleaner a buck a can at the dollar gen and works better than that crap ! try it next time keep up the good work !!!

Do you watch Junkerup videos? The guy is very talented and wayyyyy into Chargers. Like you, he has very interesting videos.

Do you plan to fully restore the charger to stock? If not, then why save the 383? If this will be a custom job, the 440 with some good performance parts will be the better motor?

Idk what your plans are cause I haven’t been keeping up but I’d say keep all original full on restoration

I would build the 440 into the engine you want with the good parts etc... it will be a much more powerful and fun engine than the 383 would. There's no replacement for cubic inch displacement. Just preserve the 383 and rebuild it bone stock if you want to put back original. I say it's too risky to beat on the original numbers matching engine where is with the 440 it doesn't matter.

Really wish your videos were longer

Looking FWD to the suspension vid. Am not familiar with MOPAR suspension.

I have heard that oven cleaner works great for engine bays and wheel wells pre pressure wash...future episode, Gunk vs Heavy duty Gunk vs oven cleaner (Roadkill plus one).

My Duster is the same way.

What did you do with the Cordova

If you ever think of getting a company you should name it Classic Customs

If it were me I would've limited my work on the 440 to a clean-up and re-gasket.

Great stuff you're doing but where do you get the money to do this ??

How come I never see anyone use the coolant drain plugs on the side of the block?

@TheCanadianBubba

6 жыл бұрын

The coolant draining from the rad usually runs nice in one spot, the block drains can drool here or there as the pressure from draining changes, being more messy. They are tougher to get to with the engine installed, things like the exhaust, the starter, the crossmember etc. are in the way. And lastly if you are not pulling the engine and something goes wrong there, you might have to pull the engine to fix it, have seen steel plugs pull threads when they have not had a sealer used and are rusted in after 40 or 50 years.

This is a engine take down job for hagerty
