Will our CLAPPED OUT Impala DRIVE HOME on Junkyard V8 Power??

I really thought we'd never have to see

this car again get the hell out of my

yard hey squad's rights we paid for a

bus to sleep in we get to be here ladies

and gentlemen welcome to another episode

of junkyard digs today you join myself

Dalton Angus and Angus is Impala from a

recent previous video of junkyard digs

right where we left it in Missouri and

today we're going to take the 350 in the

trunk put it under the hood and try to

make it all the way home

dalon hello how are you today d p bar

garage if you somehow didn't know I'm

well uh you know I woke up to this

yellow bus in my yard with two strange

men in it but the only part that changed

is now there's two strange men in

it you're right andus hi are you ready

for this again not especially but I

guess I have nothing else going on if

you guys don't recognize this car this

is a car that we bought in Texas for a

few hundred bucks Angus drove it all the

way from Texas with the intent to make

it home and it did not the little 3.8

inside pretty much gave up on life

halfway here but we uh forced it to not

have a choice

anymore and made it all the way to

here you know sometimes when you buy a

car and there's like a lot of fluids in

it you could tell there might be a

problem did I hear he wants to buy the

car I mean I don't I don't know I I just

think I I might have remembered

something I didn't think we'd have to

come back here I'm so

sorry how was the cool one still green I

would imagine there would be oil in it

at least well no it didn't have enough

pressure to push it into the cooling

system

true I suppose we start off with a

battery uh we laid this on the floor

until it popped last time I remember

it's seizing I think there's a twice

there's a good chance we throw this in

it spins again probably it'll either

drive into the shop right now or not

spin at all and it's done forever it's

probably cool P off in the last 3 months

all right Angus let's see if she's

stucks that works

fine oh I can hear it Knocking now it's

knocking at cranking

spe hold up I think youed up a little

gas

why I think

it's that's

genuinely I'll be fixed exactly the we

all right grab it home now all

right 250 Mi home it's knocking pretty

good neutral dropped that son of a [ __ ]

I did

oh is that wide

open come on come on

[Applause]

come what was

that was it a rock I don't know it shook

the

car yeah yeah the

push it's doing it I think he's still

wide open I believe he

is you can do

it oh

no

um well we can power wash it now I'm

having flashbacks

here's the plan that right there is a

small block Chevy that came with the

carve got a set of headers for probably

a truck I don't know valve covers tire

iron and an old distributor without the

top half of it we're going to take that

and put it on the other end of the car

and drive this the rest of the way home

and complete that Adventure from Texas

just do the little swaero should be a

lot better now instead of 65 horsepower

you might have 82 exactly it's rebuilt

it's got the blue stuff on it

did they say it was a 350 or a 305 I

don't remember I'm going to bet that oh

it says 5.0 I'm going to go with a it's

a 305 oh where do we start pressure wash

it and then cry or do we cry first and

then pressure wash I think the crying

was finished in the last episode oh it

wasn't I'm going to continue crying let

me just go ahead and spot one of my

sponsors on your channel here oh yeah

they don't they don't send us anything

oh

it's best to dual wield you see oh you

just let her in yeah and it burns real

bad but just keep going you can get over

the burning F to the F it's good stuff

man I would only suggest dual wielding

if you have a sponsored element that is

giving you clean supplies I pay for mine

I like to go one jug at a time itless

supply of super clean yes I will use it

as down wind I'm sorry I'm just spraying

this in your eyes

did you get some down in the in the carb

I think there's some oil in there I want

to get rid of oh yeah sure you get it

good let your carb run us over fresh

carb rebild after letting the Degreaser

sit for a while we busted out the

pressure washer and battled our way

through the intensely thick Texas gree

once that was done we winched it inside

Dalton shop took the hood off and got

ready to rip the motor out as is

tradition we've started by draining the

coolant which as is tradition we forgot

to do outside and and as is tradition

being a southern car if you'll notice

the heater core is not hooked up the

drain plug is completely out the

radiator is still half full and there is

fluid merely trickling out the bottom so

I'm going to go on a limb and say the

radiator is probably completely plugged

how close is the nearest Summit Racing

well you don't need Summit Racing you

have Dalton's backyard he's probably got

three radiators for this how close is

the nearest Dalton's backyard from

here there's a bunch of grass in this

radiator so this is a small block Chevy

with the two middle cylinders cut out

right y I wonder if the engine location

is the same which would explain the

really long shroud right yeah add two

cylinders maybe they just every engine's

located in the same spot hopefully that

small block just sits in shaft works

that's what I would design if I was a

Chevy engineer back in the day had to do

it on paper in 1984 yeah so you're doing

a lot of

coke no that

intake that engine's really speaking its

feelings right now it looks like

most of the time we were

driving all right everything up here is

done Angus is down there taking our

mounts and stuff off for the trans we're

going to pull the whole thing as one

Kebab just throw those in the old

bolster I am very excited to see you

have those as well oh bolsters are great

these are fantastic check them out

bolster decom they're silicone mat that

is chemical resistant warranteed and

heat resistant you can tell I used the

hell out of that oh yeah what goddamn

size is this

I was about to say hey Angus how are

things pretty good dude I love this car

you want me to get your bear blanket for

you

yes

yay oh you know what I forgot I bet the

trans is dumping everywhere I can hear

yes it is ah let's get the pan panic

panic yep there it is sorry D I'm

not with that taking care of we worked

on ripping the drive line all the way

out of the car I think we just learned

something these two spark PL wires were

completely chewed

through these two cylinders were never

firing there's just like 3 Ines of it

that's gone Angus there we have it we

did it the V6 is out of the car now we

will take this back outside pressure

wash the engine bay again pull the 305

out of the trunk and prep it to go into

the car with that transmission after

another hour with the pressure washer

and the Degreaser we a clean engine bay

and a mostly clean transmission hey

question what the hell is that we

thought it would be a 200 R4 this is a

turbo

350c it's a lock up yeah so it has a

modulator valve which is the giveaway

for a turbo 350 correct cuz it uses

engine vacuum to determine the line

pressure instead of a TV cable uh but it

has a lockup converter so it uses like a

little speed sensor I think right and

that that goes off the rooster comb so

it'll lock up and drive so you kind of

have an overdrive but it's a it's just a

mhm like 80 81 think first year for that

they didn't run them very long before we

hauled the V6 off to scrap we wanted to

pop the heads off and see what was going

on inside this engine and what was

causing all the

blowby I got hit over

here now that's more what I was

anticipating that probably used to be

what the inside the valve cover looked

like but then it all blow out hey

there's a rock in

there give me the head give it

got

it oh that oh no we figured it out we of

the world's greatest detectives look at

that piston where's the rest of the

Piston the whole corner of the Piston is

gone no that's all right oh yeah super

pitted she's seen some action it

exploded it's got a hell of a ring Ridge

for some reason just right there yeah

you can see where the ring Ridge is a

different shape right there this guy

sold is a bad motor I can't believe it

you believe that I mean she got the

popup pistons in her uh 3/4 Cam and uh

3/4 of a cam 3/4 of a cam pop cup cam

insane I can't believe that still ran

that's where all the compression was

coming from that's that's literally why

all the blowby yeah [ __ ] yep yeah so my

brother had a 40 Jeep in high school and

it had a hole in a piston just like that

and it would just blow I mean it's crazy

Blow by he also had an oil can rigged up

on to catch same exact scenario pretty

much just an inline version I've never

I'd never run into that before yeah with

that much blowby so now I guess we know

that's broken piston territory

yeah oh these ones look great yeah this

thing just had a dead hole that looks

better than I would have ever guessed oh

my God okay I'm thinking that's mostly

carbon but there's the biggest ring

Ridge I've ever felt in my life feel

this it's like get the measure out oh

jeez that's that's that's like seven or

eight thou on each side so that's 14

thou oversized holy [ __ ] if you don't

know what that means that's this a 4 L

crazy crazy head gaskets were actually

just fine oh by the way if you ever have

a motor that you do everything you can

and it still runs hot these right here

can rush through like that one and they

get really big like that big what these

are supposed to do is force the coolant

all the way to the back of the block

where it then can come through and flow

back to the front if these rust through

up here the coolant can return just

right here and the back of the block

does not get enough flow and the motor

is going to run warm let's get that

other motor in here and get her cleaned

up ready to go in tomorrow morning oh

yeah I forgot that's why we were doing

this after some wellth thought out

shuffling we were able to get the engine

out of the back of the car and into

swanie the occasional farm truck big

block Chevy which by the way if you

never noticed on Dalton's channel is an

acronym we then snuck the truck in front

of the car and unloaded the engine where

we could install it the next morning

[Music]

okay there we go the

motor all right there we go the motor is

inside let's get her painted up and

ready to go in tomorrow

morning morning is it I didn't say good

I just said morning oh thank God we have

our own house here yeah sure is nice

well good floor Great Floor we started

our morning off with a bit of cleaning

and painting to get things going as is

Tradition at the pole barn full

restoration it's not it worth doing if

you're not overdoing it right so full

restoration that's right I don't half

ass anything once we got the motor

cleaned up we took advantage of Dalton's

indentured servant or I mean his son

either way we gave JD a can of paint and

turned him loose towards the engine D I

got to say you boys is pretty good at

rebuilding Motors yeah what's he got

about 10 minutes in that one yeah new

valves Rings Pistons all of it board 30

over fastest this side of the

Mississippi right there hottest 305 you

ever seen my uncle Daddy had one and

Nova pop Coke can double hump double

hump heads flat top P popups 850 double

pumers 3/4 R can with the rattle can

rebuild done we cleaned up all the

threads and decided to do an oil change

before sticking everything back together

there was an audible thud

P this motor's going to be great oh boy

you pick them oh well no it's going now

it's oh my God it keeps giving birth the

trunk 305 is just it completes the story

you know we carried it all the way up

here we got to use it had to use it to

make some beer cans with the oil change

done we mated the engine to the

transmission and winched the car back

inside go ahead and pick that up throw

it on in there boys all right you

grabbed the back end so in the uh mid

80s that was this car Jim had a bunch of

engine options as you can see there's a

ton of holes you could get the 231 V6

Buick the 229 V6 Chevy which is what

this had a 305 a 350 a 57 diesel

probably a 307 olds in the oldmobile

version of this car a ton of different

engines that all had different mounting

options so say the least looks like

someone went at this with a drill bit

and a whole bunch of enthusiasm with

that being said we have our old mounts

off and as you can see they sat way back

there and our new mounts which we just

went down to O'Reilly and got a set of

305 engine mounts for the an 84 Impala

this car they should go on those forward

holes right there because the engine

needs to move forward about 5 in yeah

right there so there's your about 5 in

so yeah two bolts on top one one down

there where the hole lines up in the

corner and this will be converted ready

to accept a 350 as far as we know or a

305 without hopefully changing anything

else in the whole car it took a little

bit due to the weird geometry but we

were able to get the bolts in the engine

mounds and we're ready to drop the motor

in Bring It On

in we're want to go

down one go one go go one go

yeah we got to pull the tail shaft thing

out but like there it is I don't even

have to edit around that that's awesome

F oh my God uh he needs a pan notice

here's the extra full pan from the

government I'm here to help no that's

terrifying no down one go one go no no

no no no

no stop okay we're on the motor I'm in

danger

[Applause]

I

back I

have I have perished well ladies and

gentlemen I'm sorry but that is the end

of Dalton Summit if you would like to

replace him on the Channel shoot us an

email at I am betterand Dalton Summit

junkyard

ds.com all right we're in the trans

let's drop her onto the motor mount so

font I'm getting out of here drop

it did that do it hey hey there it is oh

jeez landed right in the spot almost

like you tried it 17 times first try

first try super size extra priz all

right anyway there we go she's in now

all we have to do is hook up everything

else oh that's

all good morning sir yes it is it is

morning today is hopefully the final day

of working on the apolla down here in

Missouri and then we can hit the road

and head north this afternoon and then

we'll work on it there

yeah where do you want to start well I

think the most important thing is that

we have each

other great thanks I was going to say

exhaust oh we don't have V8 manifolds

right d doesn't have any either these

came with the car when we bought it

right yeah he put the engine in the

trunk and I said hey do you have any

accessories for this just in case we

have to swap this and he was like oh

yeah I got some accessories and he gave

us some boxes like he wouldn't have to

have any manifolds or headers with w you

and he was like and he walked behind a

barn and in a pile of scrap he pulled

out a set of headers that look roughly

the same level of garbage so there's no

way in hell these fit no no way these

are probably for a

truck oh my God is that it that lines up

perfectly up here how are you I got tons

of clearance oh that's incredible these

fit perfect are you

kidding what nice something I just

noticed thank God this header was

completely full

of mud dber nests and they were totally

packed in there to the point where this

would have never been able to breathe

they're still in there I can't get the

other one

out I'm trying to get the one I could

see to come out and like three more fell

out look at that just slam packed solid

so yeah I guess if you buy a used

headers double check that I've never

seen that before that is crazy all these

big chunks are coming out of this I

thought I had these all clear all four

of them were slammed

clogged damn there's another one look at

that just huge chunks of mud this thing

would have never started we would have

been so confused and never figured it

out more what the hell with the exhaust

figured out we started working on things

such as wiring accessories and getting a

starter underneath the car all right

there we go new starters in place had to

get a new one because this engine uses

the large flex plate the uh 305 that

would have came in this car and the V6

uses a smaller one so the starter set

for their inbound so we had to get like

a truck starter of the era and she went

right on put our inspection cover on our

other header in place and we're good to

go under here all righty we've got the

headers on Angus is still fighting

getting that side tightened up it's a

fun time it's so much fun this is our

well our modified bracket from what used

to hold the AC and the power steering

now I've got it cut down so it fits just

the power steering because it used to go

to both sides of that header on the

manifold now we have tubes so we're

having to modify some stuff to make that

happen we need a spacer right there and

I think Dalton has a particular socket

he's decided he doesn't need anym we're

going to cut it down and try to make

that work hey remember 3 weeks ago when

I said something about don't lose your

AC brackets or modify them because you

might need it again unless it's one of

these cars then you can get rid of it

doesn't matter then if you're not

intending to drive the [ __ ] out of this

in the summer and if if you don't intend

to keep the car doesn't matter do you

not intend to keep the car oh I intend

to keep it right up until I run it into

a lake there's a lake right there I

didn't say I was going to keep it for

long I didn't know we were in a full-on

machine shop well I'm kind of a

fabricator that's it's got a slide

uphill grade good we can use that to

straighten the brother bracket out

really hot [ __ ] God I was wondering how

you were doing that well that's the

[ __ ] I've done in quite some time

that's worked that well we have half of

a socket a random spacer a nut a bolt a

carriage bolt a lock washer see that's

that's that that extra step and then of

course a nut some washers and [ __ ] back

here and in the end all that matters is

those line up really well and this can

be adjusted somewhat a little a little

either way while I was doing that dton

set us up with a heater core hose there

to Loop that all together thank you sir

oh that looks excellent I see the three

Kinks have turned into one while it was

sitting I massaged it a little oh good

good getting close to wrapping things up

what do you think Angus

about here yeah it looks about

right

perfect uh

I like pin Wheels the fumes a little

strong in there

buddy Isn't it nice it's something oh

thanks my favorites it's pretty good Yep

looks good send

it should self Tapper in that and that

is how you adapt the V6 shroud to hold a

random radiator from the

shed there's very little that you cannot

do with a saw all and a handful self

tappers this came off of uh something oh

it'll run great on here ouch put that

850 right on that 305 done na it all

right turn the key see what it does okay

who's got bets how long is it going to

last end of the driveway all the way

home throw a rod on start up I think

it'll get inconveniently far into town

yeah yes one where we can't push it like

a four-way stop like an on ramp middle

of the fourway stop man we really

achieved kind of an uncanny valley with

this engine bay like everything's shiny

and painted but it's just still ugly as

hell it's pretty standard I mean it

really doesn't stand out I can help that

oh wow that needs some color that's some

color there you go thanks I'm a big fan

it matches your flag as it turns out

this wasn't the end of Dalton's jokes in

fact earlier he had raided the

O'Reilly's clearance section for the

cringiest stickers he could

find oh

yeah yeah

go I think this is using the bathroom

yeah skull

gross oh they feel gross I spent $50 on

skulls to put on his car that's terrible

that's

commitment the cringe Pala the cringe

Pala I never knew Angus was into

Harley's

I don't think he did either until now

well until a little bit from now if the

Springs are squeaking don't come peeking

that that's a nice addition since last

time oh yes

yes oh oh [ __ ] just let it let it cure

yeah let her let her really sit

brother brother brother hey how's your

poopy skull Yeah by right

anyway I got to get a Harley I am now

into skulls and somebody my 10 mm

running away oh and I've got squeaky

Springs too

rude oh good there's more on the

side well it's it's not making the car

look worse I'll be really honest how

does it hit the fan shroud now but it

didn't before it's a different motor

it's further forward so it's higher

uphill isn't it y h well just start it

it'll start it certainly will well just

start it well it's not going to I mean

it's not going to catch on the fan

clutch that's for sure so I mean

the take the sauce see and then you just

Notch that around that way you don't

have any of this anymore so that sticker

needs to go away it well I mean you

don't want anything enveloping your fan

cuz it might interfere with the air yeah

you want that air to go you don't want

to shrouded I guess I should say no

that' be terrible all right goodbye nice

things that we have

hop in there and hit the key let's see

what happens absolutely so you want to

lay bets now I mean what do you got on

flat cam rod knock missing piston

probably another broken piston it would

just be poetic really just blow

by I bet we put it in

backwards it was a rear mount engine

before watches its reverse rotation it's

a boat

motor all right hit

it oh well dead battery was not on my

list but should have been yeah okay get

the battery charger as is tradition let

me tell you son oh my God I got a

battery yeah we have to do a little

maintenance to it but uh not only is it

broken it doesn't work look look I've

had this for a long time

it still

works ready

[Music]

yep nothing nothing nothing all right

let's get that fixed here have this one

out of this chinesium distributor I

found what an upgrade I'm so excited

it's made by mobile

Tron apparently I've missed some stuff

in the recent uh installments of

Transformers

well you I haven't heard of the mobile

Dron yet it's offbrand it's the ones we

could afford when we were kids BR all

good well it would be if I had put the

rotor in it oh [ __ ] dang it not again I

looked at it the whole time I was

putting the cap like there something

wrong here you can't find good health

these days no can't new hii module and a

rotor yeah sparked hey she even fired

starter shims are real happy I guess two

wasn't the

answer

more see nothing squirting but this car

was just sitting in my you know could

very well be that it's junk or uh the

accelerator pump doesn't work yeah maybe
