Yea, well there's a good point there, if nothing came out, it's either a massive hole somewhere, or alternatively as he says rust means it might have gotten fully filled with rust. While water is horrible, its not the worst case scenario.

Dude you are amazing! I’m 67 years old and I have been wrenching for a lot of years. Well years ago I worked at a marina and I had the reputation of being able to make a rock run but you take the cake. I’m humbled watching you bring some of these long lost engines run again. Keep on wrenching my friend.

Someone trying to start a 2024 car in 2104: “Where the hell am I going to find one of these antiquated computers?”

Love seeing this old dog. When I was a "pup" my Daddy had a 1938 Oldsmobile 4 door sedan with a 6 cylinder engine. We, my brother and I, called her "Ozzie" the Oldsmobile. Back in spring of 1950, we took a trip back to Arkansas in her. My Dad made us a "bed" in the back seat and that was our "motor home" for two weeks. Mom and Dad took turns driving and sleeping in the front seat. So I sure hope you can get her runnin'. That would be a real pleasure for me.

It amazes me that you still have the desire and put the effort into making it run even after finding the cracked ring gear. The magic you do by bringing these "old girls" to life is nothing short of a miracle.

Cool old car, the motor sounds awesome - really purrs. It’s a very unique vehicle that may well be worth reviving.

Hi from Bendigo Australia. What i like about this young fellow is that nothing seems to be a problem..hes got a can do can fix attitude.

Great effort mate, you know your stuff. That engine was very tired and a broken ring gear is very rare. You did a great job of welding that back to cast iron. The engine was running for a few seconds, so you succeeded. keep up the great interesting videos.

8 days into January and we already have a Jennings Motor Sports video! 2024 is going to be a good year! Maybe we'll get to see more of the Cuda soon! Happy New Year!

Man; you are the only KZreadr I can actually watch a video this long start to finish

Love to see you get that baby running, she deserves it after this many years you owe it to her, awesome job Happy New Year!

Truly love what you do on this channel. It is a true testament to the amazing and straight forward engineering US automakers had. Keep up the good work. My first car was a Plymouth Grand Fury which had a few teeth missing from the flywheel. Never left home without my trusty strap wrench just in case I had to help her past that bad spot.

You never cease to amaze me my friend. I admire you for the ability to get these old machine running after all these years.

One of the most authentic and best channels on youtube thank you for sharing good sir!

You have two stuck valves, one in cylinder number 5 and one in number 8 (counting from the front of the motor).

Enjoy how you talk as your working!! My son's are mechanics and iv watched them at work for years!! Am to old to get out an about, found your channel and said, "Yahoo"🎉

It looked in the footage like three of the valves were still hanging open when you put the head back on. I imagine they would’ve eventually freed back up though because they weren’t “hard stuck”. Probably right that it just had ring issues, valve sealing issues, or maybe the ignition timing was a little off. Amazing that it sputtered and ran as much as it did! Thanks for the great video.

This channel has the most consistent and straight to the point content 👍

I was just watching some of your older vids. Hoping for a new one. That was Epic! I would say a re visit is a must 😀

This is one of my favorite channels, and it's mostly because of how optimistic and positive this guy sounds... It's like no matter what, there's hope!

This is SO cool! I LOVE those Straight Eights! I have ALWAYS wanted to build a bored and stroked Straight Eight with forged internals and much higher compression, then build a multi-port fuel injection system for one and turbocharge it to see how it'd perform. Edit: Knowing my luck it'd only make like 250 HP and I'd get smoked by a Ford Focus...

Enjoyed the Video. This car is worth fixing up as Historic Vehicle. I'd let the Funeral Service Museum in Houston know you have this .They'd be thrilled that you have it .Valuable Car !

Around thirty years ago the wife and I went to a guy's house to look at his '34 Oldsmobile hearse . Unlike yours , his was sitting inside and had been drivable into the eighties . Unfortunately, back in the day funeral homes were also the local ambulance service in a lot of towns . During WW2 a small plane had gone down in a farmer's field outside of town , and the hearse was driven across the furrows from the plowing and not with the furrows . The body flexed so much , that most of the finger joints holding the structural wood pieces together in the body broke , causing all five doors to sag . The owner wouldn't allow me to open any of the doors in order to look inside . We passed on that car .

I'm definitely subscribing because for you guys to get that car out of the junkyard after 80 years it looks like that and get it running I'm impressed, seems like it'd be worth rebuilding that straight eight because it was running, and I wouldn't think they were commonly found in that condition as of being usable
