Detroit Silver 4-53T And 3-53 Update

4-53T is ready for the dyno and the 3-53 is waiting for the head to be rebuilt.:) Happy times.:)

Everyone should keep in mind that it takes a lot of time and effort to set up a system like this. Thanks for the videos!

I'm glad to hear that the 3-53 project is happening.

Man I wish for a engine like that to power my chipper. 😊

[MrWade]

very nice, you've done a lot of work and it all coming together

Sweet video, happy to hear you are keeping the 3-53 :) if anyone can care for it its detroit garage!

[greywuuf]

Getting close! I am so ready for this.

I'm vindicated, now I know that my workshop is normal! :)
That engine really is running sweetly, isn't it. I am looking forward now, to the dyno runs.

Thanks for the fill in on the 453T. If time be with you get the 353 together and running. Looks like you have the hardware for the 353 to do that.

Do you run pump diesel or veg oil in the shop (forklift, dyno, engine stand), or is shop temp an issue? It would be interesting to see the hp difference between pump and veg…but you maybe at the point (weather) where you have to heat the veg I’d speculate.

Did you make those liner hold down clamps that you show on the 3-53 in the video? If so, how hard are they to make and how to make them?

What engine stands are you using to build your 353 and 453 Detroits?

[prevost]

Are they pretty strict on black smoke there? Not trying to jinx your engine but the video made it sound like it had a tapping sound in it. Maybe it was just the audio.

Detroit's, Bikes and Projects oh my! My garage is so clean and boring! 🤨

My jones is 3208T Cats, to provide load I employed a Turbo 400 w/13" HD torque converter/output shaft locked routed transmission oil to test stand heat exchanger to control heat, no output readings but loads the rings. Too much plumbing BS for a water brake in my shop.
