Anybody that says they wouldn't run ads or work with companies to build their brand is either a liar or a fool. Keep on keepin on Dave we'll be here for it!

Dirt head shed and VGG is all youtube will ever need . Keep em coming dave !

It's fun watching you tackle an engine even though it's not your normal content. You're doing the right thing and asking your friends.

The hardest working Man in showbiz ! I don't know how you keep all this stuff going , do all the ads you gotta do , you got bills to pay , mouths to feed and a zillion very cool projects you're keeping us all entertained with...

So glad I don't have to wait to see you, on random motor trend shows. Keep up the good work, and have fun on the trails, and roads.

On DED I was always jealous that Fred just had a Dave. Now I'm also jealous that Dave just has a Freiburger. Moral is, in any situation, just keep adding Daves till its all win. haha.

Don't apologize for making money for your family. Keep up the good work

Dont worry about working with companies Dave, you gotta pay the bills and as long as it's companies you like or believe in and products you use then your actually helping your viewers out!

I kinda like the casual promo just as part of the dialogue. Makes me more likely to look at the product. Not many guys do it as smoothly as you did. Nice work.

I can't wait for the next episode.

People nowadays don't have a clue how hard it can be .let alone how easy it is nowadays thank you for your time .

1:42 As Derek would say, it brings all the boys to the yard.

Good thing about LS, is parts are everywhere and their fairly reasonable

Love your demeanor. Very entertaining the way you work on your projects

Dave.. you're rad. Have a good Wednesday.

My kid used to go thru tons of brakleen in the cans so I bought a sprayer like that years back and have been doing the 5gal Brakleen cans every since and saved a ton of money. I took the tip apart and pulled the piece out of the inside so it would shoot a stream, much better!!

The more sponsors the better. Build your brand Dave!!

Doing nice work. It pays to have determination.

Another good one....very down to earth and like the every day guy. Keep it up.

With the reusable sprayer, if you disassemble the nozzle, and pull out the little pin inside, it will spray a jet stream instead of a mist. Much nicer for blasting grime.

Dude, I love your videos!!!! You are so relatable. I feel like I'm hanging at your shop watching you do this and your telling me how you're going to do it!!!! I wish I would have seen this video before I bought my first jeep. It was a 1998 TJ with a 4.0 with an automatic. It was lots of fun until my radiator exploded!!!! I have a lot of experience with LS motors, but not so much with Jeeps. At the time I had a 2012 Silverado with a 5.3 with 180,000 miles on it. Body was junk, but scoped the motor and saw good cross hatch on the cylinder walls. Was thinking of dropping it in the TJ just before the radiator exploded. Unfortunately I have a gravel driveway and no garage, or friends with a garage where I could work for a couple of weeks, as I work full time. So I fixed the Jeep to make it driveable and sold it. Still driving the truck. Wish I had a shop or even a garage.

We bought a parted out buggy (3.9 v8 land rover discovery)which was sitting in a paddock for 4 years no bonnet and a hole in the valley gasket . We drained the oil and filled a 20 litre bucket with what consisted of 15 litres of crystal clear water 4 litres of milk shake and 1 litre of what looked like oil 😂😂😂😂. We re built the buggy and didn't touch the motor other than 3 oil changes and new valley gasket runs like a dream and still going strong in 4wd comps 5 years later ha ha ha ha

Keep up the good work Dave

This stuff all cost money. You do you Dave. We will support you no matter what. We will all reap the benefits with content.

Badass!! Killer work Dave!

if you've done your due diligence and are happy to work with the sponser i don't see many people being too worried about it .

For cleaning greasy engines, differentials etc. grab yourself several aerosol cans of "Krud Kutter" from Home Depot. One of the best degreasers I've ever used. I've used it on everything from oil encrusted engines, rims, and even household projects. Spray it on, wait, and then use a stiff nylon brush to cut through everything. Best part is its non toxic so no nasty fumes. And no, I don't work for the company that makes it!

Dave take the tip apart on your sprayer and take that pin out that spins inside the tip. It’ll make it shoot like a standard can of brake cleaner instead of that misting.

55 gallon contractor bags work great for covering (bag will fit over the whole motor) an entire assembled motor on an engine stand to keep them from getting filled with airborn crap while you are working around them.

Keep on the grind Dave . Cheers 🇨🇦

The best modification you can do to your reusable sprayer is to drill a small, but larger hole in the spray head.

Found you on VGG...you have great content!

Great start on the engine swap.😁

I love what you're doing, and I must say you, my friend, aren't the only one that has bought multiple junk ls engines lol😅

Always enjoy your style. Keep the channel going any way you need to.

Love seeing you get outside your normal wheel house. I feel like you probably should’ve removed the heads while cleaning. But if Freiburger said you’re good…you’re good.

That engine definitely looks behind the front axle I think that officially means this is now a mid engined race truck

Hey Dave great seeing you in with Derek doing the suspension upgrade on the old ute truck solid work there buddy 👍👍

Hardbody lookin all good 👌

No need to apologize for adds and working with companies. This is a business we get it and we love the content keep it up!

That's a big power jump to an LS. I likey!

SITS IN THERE NICE!

Dave...I like how you explain things...and your calm exuberance is infectious haha... You've probably already seen the build...but Paul @ FabRats stuffed a 6.0 in his FJ rockcrawler, and had similar issues with his exhaust on the RH bank...he ended up routing it in FRONT of the oil pan and merged it with the LH side...I couldn't tell from the camera work if the Butter Jeep affords you the room...but it's a suggestion... *side note: the better 3/4's was looking over my shoulder and asked what you were doing, I said he's showing me how to put an LS into my 03' Tundra babe...she says an and I quote..." what's wrong with your truck now, didn't you just fix it? " ...babe...I'm ALWAYS "fixing it 😜 *

I think it's awesome that you can just call Freiburger on the phone for advice and at the same time are rocking a low budget DIY build that most any of us could do. Keep up the good work and don't sweat the channel sponsors, you deserve the backing and as long as it doesn't taint the info you put out then it's all good.

Super duper welds. Nice

Go in front of the oil pan on the passenger side for the exhaust, then merge into driver side. Works awesome and protected :)

Those spray cans have a button in the nozzle that makes is spray like a mist. Take the nozzle cap off and take the button out and it'll spray much better with a lot more pressure. I would at least pull the heads and get a look at the tops of the pistons and valves.You're right there and it almost disassembled anyways. Plus there's a plug under the rear cover that should be replaced along with the rear seal. That plug blocks off some of the hole that's drilled for oil flow. The original plug is plastic and can break. If it breaks you can loose oil pressure. I half assed a lot of stuff in my younger days but realized as I got older that doing things the right way...usually keeps you from having to pull a dead engine...just saying.

I understand why you would think the oil filter sucked in. In actuality the oil pressure collapsed it. Water mixed with oil doesnt push through the filter very good along with the water soaking in to the pleated paper making it weak

>I've got a new false sense of security. And there's the voice of experience, folks!

I live in Sweden and i got a insurance that pays for up to 3 speeding tickets a year. So that's awesome!

Dude I’ve been on vacation in Slovenia, forgot to get my dose of DIRTHEAD! Nice work Dave!

I think the solution is you gotta get Derek out there to help you since you helped him he knows how to swap engines

Looking good 👍👍

I wish wish wish I had an O'Reilly's and an Ace next door to each other! That would save me so much time!

Hey Dave if you take the nozzle off the reasonable brake clean can, there is a little brass jet that slows the flow and makes that mist come out. Take the brass jet and toss it then put it back together. Now it’s going spray with a solid stream and actually work.

nice work Dave !

Hey Dave! Your misfortune is great content! For real, Dirthead Shed videos are one of the highlights of my week! And don’t feel bad about taking care of yourself and your family by making $$$. Thanks for being awesome!

Dave you are real. Pretty work.

RE: the oil treatment trailer dude reference cracked me up. You are magnitudes above that! Thanks Dave! (From another Dave)

Love watching you do fab work there, brother. I feel like I have learned so much watching you. I also love the fact your crossover with VGG is bringing new people to your channel. Looking forward for Dirthead Shed merch....right?..Lol....take care!

Love the Butter jeep. Keep on trucking .....

Saw a guy take LS heads and put them on a Ford 300. Seeing as Louis V, moms spaghetti, and the mustang are all Ford powered it’d be a cool idea

Nice work Dave. You didn't sweat it. You adapted and overcame.

Those refillable non aerosol sprayers have a piece in the nozzle that you can remove to get more of a jet type spray

cat litter engine is going to be fine. Actually participated in a midnight race track endeavor. That was much like that one. Race engine expired, right after qualifying on the pole for mid Ohio. A guy said he had an engine he would give us. But it was buried in a chicken coop for years. We literally dumped a case of brake clean through it. And the crankshaft began to turn, lol. And in the morning, won the race! I didn’t believe we had a freak of a chance the night before

Dave I appreciate the knowledge you give for free and brother your uplift is stupendous. I'm a fan for life and I chill with your vibe everyday. I'm gonna buy mech and promote your channel everyday. I love how nothing gets you down and when things get tough you just get tougher. Your awesome bro.

Great video thank you..

Nice work, always giving good tips.

I've attempted solo car work and filming and editing its so, so hard. You have to interrupt your normal garage workflow to eff around with cameras and mics and whatever. Your solo videos are awesome; keep it up!

Casually calling both Frieburger and Josh Mazerol for motor advice is an amazing cheat code bahahaha

Diesel makes a good cleaner to clean an engine out. Good job keep up the good work 👍

Butter keep is great, also really love mom’s spaghetti!!, would love to fabricate with you and learn a few things one day, I need to look for my own butter keep version, great show thanks Dave

Great stuff Dave! Gettin’ it done 👌

I have a yellow jeep too. It seems like every project on it goes sideways for me. I wonder if yellow Jeeps are cursed to ride the struggle bus. On another note, I just watched you on Road Worthy Rescues. I really like the collaborations you have done with Derek Bieri.

When you said: "Were is my 10 mill, its gotta be floating around here somewere" i can def relate. They are never around, no matter how many i have.

Im in the process of doing the same build but in a 2001 cherokee, great content keep up the good work

If you want a little more oomph out of the reusable sprayer, there is a restrictor you can remove under the nozzle that will give it more of a stream than a mist.

It’s a gamble anytime you buy an engine that you don’t witness running. At least the junkyard engine is good to go.

Love it. Thanks for the videos!

Dave Take it all apart clean it up replace the bearing ,rings and gaskets put it back together and run it Orbetter yet drag Dereck into your shop and have him build you a motor 😂

Speedo on the Super Duty is off because the speedo gear is on the ring gear on Ferds. Gearing won't change anything since it's turning at axle speed, not driveshaft speed. 😁 Sponsors: get paid, just don't be slimy about it. You know who looks slimy. Engine: mine looked like shit. In the end, they're small block chevys. Not super complicated. Rip the heads off of both, use the bottom end that looks the cleanest, and send the heads off for machining. One thing to avoid are any 706 heads made by Castech (casting mark looks like a battery between the 2 rocker bolt holes on the end that says "706"): these tend to crack when re-torquing after use.

Dave, brother, you deserve and if anything have EARNED sponsorship. You wouldn't lose the ones who've been here since DED. You're one of the realist automotive tubers out there. Keep being yourself and grab every fn sponsor you can. If we don't want to watch the read we can ff 🤷‍♂️

Fun to watch yeah figure out the $150 LS. What a score! Love that u are working with companies that are part of the off-road community!.😊

You caused me to buy a Premiere Power welder. You're a good influence.... :D

Started watching you and Ian Johnson when mini-truckin was cool, Xtreme 4X4 was on the TV and Petersons 4wd magazine was the rage.. Love it when you colab with other youtubers and the whole ultimate adventure.. I will continue to follow you and the gang no matter what! Rock on and you do you!!

Just saw the Sent & Bent Podcast, keep doing what your doing! Its important to be yourself rather than what others think you should be, you'll be happier and the subscribers will be happier.

You should run those swampers on the jeep

I told you that if you made it , I'd watch!!! I don't even ride mountain bikes but I might try lol

the trick to buying used LS engines is to get one out of a crash/rollover vehicle. I learned the hard way too, bought a cheap one off some guys garage floor it was trashed with worn pushrods at very least. SO next time i got one from part tiume mechanic /part time farmer. He swore engine i got was from a rollover suburban, even had video of it running in wrecked truck. looked the same so i thought it was worth 400usd TLDR it worked great.

Very cool stuff Dave!

In case you never tried mineral spirits, it works way better than brake cleaner. It’s far cheaper and you can put it in your sweet new sprayer.

T-shirt time -- "You know you're working, when you have kitty litter and mouse turds"! =]

I can already see the boys coming to the yard 😂

That engine probably has Castec 706 heads on it. They crack around the cylinder head bolt bosses and leak internally. Just replaced the heads on mine with 862s. Ran engine flush in it like specified, drained oil, replaced filter. Runs good.

NICE!

Better not let Finnegan get near this. He will have you running 1,000HP before you know what happened lol

Nice job on the engine swap. Dont be afraid to get inside an engine, there is nothing special in there and a TON of information and support out there

Ford uses a sensor on the ring gear, so gear ratio doesn't effect it, but tire size does. Should be able to get it calibrated to get at least closer.

Like this project. I think this will be a fun rig once its done. Hope the exhaust won't cause any headaches.

Glad to see Butter-Jeep gettin love. One of my favorites, up there with Moms Spaghetti and Louis..
