The process shows how Brian extracts an engine from one of his vehicles. His yard specializes in old American iron. Enjoy!

I couldn't get a close enough look to see exactly what year the engine is. It reminds me of my early days of Junk yard shopping when they couldn't wait to get rid of old Chevy stuff. Rear ends $12. 3-speeds $15. . . .

I wouldnt like to be working under that crane, it looked to be a little light duty for me. Tony 1938 1/2 ton Hope to drive it before I retire

Where is the junkyard located that this frame came from? It looks like a fantastic place to visit. dtm the toolman 60th Anniversary Meet Chairperson Dave VCCA # L 28873 VCCA #83 Tool Technical Advisor for 1914-1966

Brian's (the video at the top of the thread) is in Northern CA, between Napa and Vallejo (like Keith said). I have no idea where the yard is where the frame was lifted by the old Chevy crane truck.
