I Smashed on the 69 Chevelle SS and it Broke bad! Engine Specs (not stock) - Numbers Matching?

it was uh 3 m right um and that was the paint they got somewhere around May 0-1 so that's when it was painted you're looking at an old paint job it doesn't look bad for a 20 year old years. paint job, oh, absolutely not, I mean faded, but it was in storage, yeah, and you know, usually one that old, you see cracks and things, you know where the putty has shrunk and all that, and I haven't seen any yet , I think with those old stripes. I removed the ceramic coated paint, corrected and got rid of these horrible wheels that I loved and now.

I don't think she's going to be a hindrance? Oh yeah, yeah, and it's pretty fast for a big, heavy, old carbureted car. Pretty fast, yes, yes. The springs in your passenger seat might not be correct because they pushed me back pretty good. It's a fun car to drive even in fourth gear it just goes and goes and goes like it's a torque monster yeah it'll push you through every gear well I had a lot of fun with the cars and coffee today and uh I gotta do it. talking to this uh with this older gentleman about his military truck and unfortunately we got so involved in the conversation that I missed recording some really nice cars, I think a couple more Chevelles oh well I have them in my video so record you have the

chevelle

s that I missed, yeah okay damn I got talking and he was out there doing what he should have been doing, he was out there recording, well I was hosting what someone's out there, you know well, you have You have some cool Chevelles in there, then the red ones, yeah, all the red ones, all of them except this one.

Fortunately, I had one that was different. I have a gentleman. I know a gentleman. He has a blue 69. Yeah, and for I can't remember how high I have it, but I was really hoping he would show it today because he would have really liked this one, if you want to see the other Chevelles and some of the other cool cars. that I missed go watch Santa's workshop on youtube guys I'm going to put a link for him under the video go and subscribe he's sitting at almost 20 you're almost close I'm eight away. 19 at this moment eight literally no 800 no 88 he is eight from nineteen thousand then one thousand eight thousand eight from 20 in a year yes, not bad man, go see the subscribers of Santa's workshop, Johnny has many interesting projects and I'm going to go eat some barbecue and then I think I'll go to bed.

I just want to eat. It is Saturday. I don't know what day it will arrive, but for me it is Saturday. I just want to go eat barbecue. Lie in bed, that's it, yeah, sounds like I'm wondering how many times this car is going to burn me out on the way home, hopefully, none that blister, that sucker is getting real shiny, looks real good , yeah, and uh, and then, and then. this this one doesn't look too bad but it hurts I burned both hands really good on the manifold um both times when the transmission refused to shift it just stuck in second gear and I had to go under it with a wrench on the side of the road and let it go, maybe it won't work now, since you adjusted those rods, yeah, I adjusted them a second back, towards the first, a little good, hope that fixes it I think.

First gear is about continuing this, yeah, I have a feeling that what happened is when they put it in, they set it too far into second and with as much torque as this, they went out and frolicked around and just cut it, cut it. . teeth on the edges or whatever and now it can't, can't slide in because it just comes back out. You know, it would be interesting. I'm probably going to go home and order another transmission for this. I have some options. I'm going to go for a broad ratio. I don't want a close relationship.

I'm going to go for a broad ratio. I want to see there is a guy who builds these with overdrive. It's not a five. The speed is still four speeds, but first through third are your power gears. Fourth gear becomes like an overdrive, so you can like the power travel, well, my goodness, the torque this thing has, you can get a wide range and not worry about it, yeah. she'll go, she'll go, but I think it would be fun, once we take out the

engine

, take out the transmission and change the transmission and everything, uh, this transmission comes apart very easy, yeah, it's a very simple, very simple transmission, I think It would be fun to just take it apart and at least we can take the side case cover off and take a look, yeah, I mean, you can see the gears right there, you'll see if you have a

broke

n fork or, you know, a bent fork or something, or if the gears had their teeth cut off you should be able to see that pretty clearly too so I think it would be fun to open it up if you guys want to see that leave a comment below hit the thumbs up button and let me know and when let's take the trans out we can take the other one apart and take a look at it to see where we're wrong maybe even fix it probably not maybe omg they're easy to rebuild maybe I mean I think the rebuild kit is like 150 dollars, it's the new gears and everything, yeah, it's ridiculously low, yeah, so yeah, maybe, maybe, and then we'll have a transmission worth it. $2,500 because that's what I'm going to pay for mine, there you go, leave your comments below, subscribe to Santa's Workshop, thanks for coming out and helping us today and thanks for inviting us to your car show.

It was great having you and thanks Randy for everything you've done for me man when's the next one when's the next car the car meeting second Saturday in March May second Saturday in May I wonder If I'll still have the

chevelle

by then, it better be so. literally a month away and I'm sitting here wondering if I'll still have it by then I'm a bad man I know you are and I swear if you get rid of this one oh boy I think my audience might have a Conniption Fit if I get rid of this this one too, oh man, I'll try to keep it, but I think what a lot of people don't think about is that I spent 43 grand on this car, which is a great price, but I had to do it. pay for it, that money now is poof, it's just there and I have to put another several thousand into it, but I really believe that in three or five years you will be sitting in a car worth at least seventy to seventy-five thousand dollars, Yes Yes Yes. yeah, the restored rotisserie, I mean, it's an old restoration, but you fix this paint, he'll tell you.

Yes, yes, I have receipts for the gears too. I mean, I have receipts for everything. Yeah guys, leave those comments below.
