Inside a 1969 Super Bee 383 Engine Rebuild | Test Stand Run! | Noel Automotive

Join Mopar Keith at Noel Automotive for a deep dive into one of the most iconic engines in Chrysler’s history—the 383 Big Block! Whether you're a Mopar purist or an engine-building enthusiast, this 30-minute episode delivers the full rebuild process of a 1969 Super Bee's original 383—from a bare block to a live-fire test stand run. 🔧 What to Expect in This Episode: In this detailed video, Keith walks through every step of the rebuild process on a Chrysler 383 engine—a true workhorse of the muscle car era. Often referred to as the "little brother" to the legendary 440, the 383 is a low-deck big block with an iconic history of powering everything from family wagons to tire-shredding Road Runners and Super Bees. 📽️ Full Rebuild Coverage Includes: Cleaning and inspecting the bare block Installing frost plugs and cam bearings Aligning and installing the crankshaft with assembly lube Installing rear main seals, including tips on upgraded seal options Test-fitting and gapping piston rings for all eight cylinders Full piston installation process with correct chamfer alignment Timing chain setup with a degree wheel for camshaft accuracy Oil system prep: slingers, pickups, and windage trays Pre-oiling the engine to check for proper flow through cam and rocker shafts Detailed explanations of Chrysler’s oil galley system and camshaft feed Head installation, bolt prep, and torquing Final assembly checks and prepping for a test stand run 💡 Why This Matters: This isn't just a "how-to." It's a "why-it-matters." Keith walks through his philosophy on double-checking ring gaps, verifying timing with a degree wheel, and ensuring oiling systems are fully functional before firing up a newly rebuilt motor. There’s even a mini masterclass on pre-oiling techniques and how the camshaft’s oiling holes work in real-time. 🧪 The Test Stand Run: Watch as Keith and Jerome bring this freshly rebuilt 383 to life. After priming the oil system, checking for spark, and dialing in the timing and carb adjustments, the engine roars to life on the stand. This is the break-in phase, where lifters, cam lobes, and the full valve train go through several heat cycles and burn through a few gallons of fuel to ensure everything is operating perfectly. 💥 Common Pitfalls Highlighted: Keith doesn’t shy away from showing the real-world bumps in the road, like dealing with vacuum leaks and misfit gaskets. These moments become quick teaching points for those working on their own builds or just wanting to better understand what goes into a Mopar restoration. 🎨 What’s Next: This is only Part 1! In the next episode, you'll see the engine come off the stand, get fully cleaned, painted, and prepped for installation into its home: a 1969 Dodge Super Bee. Don’t miss the visual transformation from raw metal to show-stopping muscle. 📢 Call to Action: Love Mopar content? Into old-school American muscle? Want real shop talk without the fluff?
