My vote is for the six to live on. You’ve got those blokes in Canada that get old engines in much worse shape going and back to daily driver status with little more than a hammer, file, smoke wrench and a few screwdrivers and wrenches. If you start throwing modern v8 motors in this car then you wind up replacing everything that makes it go and stop. Motor, transmission, rear end, brakes, suspension, wheels and everything attached to them. You have a shop and field full of go fast cars and trucks. A slow one like this has its own charms. You guys just got back from the Hot Rod Power tour where you spent a week playing with slow 6 shooters and you all had a good time.

I understand you fully about an upgraded engine swap. That said, there is something about THIS ride that begs for every effort short of a rebuild to be made to keep the original flat six under the hood. Pulling off the head, playing valve bongos with gentle ball-peen hammer taps (pretty sure there are some stuck valves in the two bubbly cylinders!), wire-wheeling the head, making sure the lifters are functional and honing the cylinders will go a long way in letting you know if this mill will live to go down the road. If the cylinder walls are too ridge-y or pitted after you get the valves to work... time for an engine swap! Cool episode - this rig has my attention!!!

That was a great video. I’ve had many old cars just to get me to work. Most of them ready for the bone yard when I bought them. My two boys drove them when I moved up to another fine piece of iron.

I was always amazed by how many would just perk up again. Hang in there.

well thats why i put oil in the cyls of an engine thats been sitting a long time and rotate it wo the plugs in. the surface rust can wear out or brake the rings if you don't

That is as base a Plymouth as they made. And was base to begin with. It's hard to turn over like timing is off. You also filled the cylinders with oil. The plugs could be fouled. I'm commenting as I watch this.

You could place large hose on the exhaust tips and run it out the door to avoid fumes. Definitely would like to see it made good enough to cruise in.

Pull the cylinder head (minutes), oil pan and piston/rod assemblies (few hours) and dingle-ball hone, carefully wash and reassemble with new cast-iron rings and gaskets. As long as the valves are sealing, you should be good to go!!

Hey Dylan , i’ve been watching your videos for a very long time my friend , and i’ve been showing my friends what you’re doing here with these “old ladies” and it’s just fabulous to see someone so young to have such great knowledge of mechanics doing what your doing . Also your community here is absolutely great and i love the fact that you listen to your people while you work on these engines which is fantastic . Now , the reason i decided to comment is because i’d really like you to give that engine in particular a real second chance . Big fan of old V8’s here even if i’m European (Romanian,but live in the UK) . Why don’t you try to restore that engine instead of swaping it ? I know it would be much easier to find parts and stuff for the newer ones but can’t you make an exception this one time and actually strip the original apart and fix it back to brand new ? I mean when it started the first time , it just remembered me of that “Thriller” video of Michael Jackson when his car runs out of gas in the woods . I swear to God that Plymouth engine sounds absolutely fabulous when it’s on its normal idle . You get that very old kind of engine idle . Please take it in consideration if you can . Your “European” subscriber Flo .

Covid is kicking my butt. But this 40 min video of a dude starting a car is somehow making me feel better.

I see a 1972 Chevelle at the garage too. This other classic can be road restored easier. Then we can use the Chevelle for trips to find genuine Mopar parts to fix and rebuild the engine (or find a newer one for the beloved 1958 Plymouth). Use two big extractor fans to vent the blue smog from the shop. Now I know why those nice Plymouths share Christine's curse. Thanks.😮

@Trenton2005.....NO, it would not be cool to repaint it like Christine (hack move that has already been done - -BORING ! ) Time to move beyond your idiotic concept of what "cool" is. If you want to see the Christine restoration - go watch the episode of Graveyard Cars. This car will never be a Christine re-make.....the idea is just stupid. Now, go back to playing with your Hot Wheels in your Mom's basement......

With that massive shop it seems a shame some of them cars are sat out in a field. Surely there’s room to hold a few undercover :D!

Love this car!!! PLEASE make a multi-video series!! Start fixing it and drive it down the road!!! AWESOME PLYMOUTH!! MORE CHRISTINE!!!

love the video! and about the engine: you have plenty of fast,fun(and loud) v8 cars around,so if the original flathead is dead,why not put something different like a slant 6? build a car just to cruise and enjoy in long roadtrips.

Flatheads are dead easy to fix, if you cant, sell the car to someone who can.

What a beauty. Reminds me of the good old days when you bought a gallon of gas and 20 pints of oil to go to the shops .

I love those 57 and 58 Plymouths. Great design and if you can find one, as you found this one, you’re very lucky.

Engine swaps, especially swapping an inline 6 like this for a V8 are all over KZread and boring as watching paint dry. Fixing an old inline 6 like this is a LOT more interesting. And hopping up an old 6 like this one would be even better. I would watch videos fixing this engine. I seriously doubt I would waste my time on another V8 swap.

I agree.Let the old gal keep the original engine.Engine swaps are a dime a dozen.

Especially the dreaded "LS" swap... which is ultimately even worse when some dolt swaps this Chevy engine into a non-Chevy rig! Epically cringeworthy... - Max Giganteum

@@MaxGiganteum I think he was thinking of swapping in one of the many small block Mopars he has sitting around. He mentioned having over a dozen of them in a recent video asking if Kevin (JYD) wanted to swap the AMC 4.2L Inline 6 in his Concord.

I have the station wagon version of this car,, it's called a Custom Suburban. I got it running allot easier than this one,, and I am now preparing to replace the engine with a 59 413 Golden Lion 4 Barrel out of a 300 Chrysler. That feels like a day two modification that most street rodder/gearheads would have done back in the day. Either way,,, congrats on getting her going again....

You probably should put a stronger rear and a stronger trans if you put a 413 in it. You don't want to be stuck somewhere because of driveline failure, and have all the Datsuns and Toyotas laugh at you.

@@michaelbenardo5695 engine and trans are matched out of the 300, and the rear is an 8 3/4" front dump, it will be changed to a 489 carrier from the 741 that's currently in it. Either way, they will laugh because they are just that way. Doesn't affect us old guys.

Good for you buddy..... i had my doubts.....but you got her going.....

Dylan, your exhaust is stopped up!!! I had a car that did the exact same thing, so, I eventually cut the exhaust pipes off about 3 feet from the engine, hit the key, and she fired right up! BOTH pipes had beenm filled up by mice, and it didn't have enough power to clear them out!!!
