Talkative.....

Very cool video! I wish i would have found this back when i was just starting to learn how to use the equipment. I bought the grinder & the seat machine & all the stones & dressers & misc stuff a shop had. A guy showed how to grind the valves. That part was easy. But i was on my own with the sests. I didnt have anybody that was willing to answere my questions or most didnt know themselves. But i figured it out. I had alot of questions that i just had to give my best guess of what i thought it should be like? I did ok. My first set of old 390 heads were good. I had one exhoust valve i must not have gotton it truly excentric? It always leaked abouf 50 percent from that cylinder. Never got worse. Couldnt tell running it. Thing had gobs of power. I did another set of heads & swapped them out & they were better. Still running today. Now ive dun sevral other sets of heads too. Ill say somtimes how i go at them is alil different than how you did it. If a seat is out a good bit, alot of times ill set a stone on it & ill just turn it by had with light pressure to see were the stone cleans up. Ill see alot with low spots. But ill go in & take material with my 60 & get it good & dug out all the way around. Ill kiss it with a 30 then but i dont want a deep 30 so just so it cleans it all the way around. That gives me a good visual of how the 45 looks. If the are out a bunch ill dig it out with my 60 till the 60 practicly meets the 30. Then ill go with the 45 so i can have a nice true 45 & it dont take much. Becouse the 45 is just a thin line all the way around were the 60 & 30 meet, so all u have to do is touch it to bring the width in of your 45. It leaves me with a thin 30 & a thin 45 & wide 60. Its worked well for me.

Super cool I had no idea the aluminum shroud was rare I was going to just part this engine out but I guess I’ll restore mine since it’s the aluminum one!

Just got a B&S on a lawnmower going. I put on new gasket and diaphragm but it was still running rough so I pulled the carb and tank off an engine that needs a new connecting rod. I drained the tank and cleaned the sump out and put it on the mower & it fired up.

Dont see many Clinton engines around!

Where do you find this stuff? Good video.

Nice Can't beat a truck and as long as you have a truck you'll always have friends. By the way can you help me pick up a sheet of plywood at home Depot. Miss my 62 International.

Ingenuity. I like it. Happy Motoring.

I've been wanting to build me one of these for a while now I just need to get it done I like the way you've got it built low idle low fuel consumption

Nice job.

That's thinking outside the box!! 😁👍

Dude, pls make sure that the starter gets to rest sometimes, also it sounds like u might need a new battery?

Pretty cool setup 🙂👍

Great video! Love this stuff. What car did the heads go on?

I have that same valve grinder for a wall hanger but to heavy

Bong for caffeine junkies. 😜

Man, that is quite the Weapon! :)

The extra short wheelbase will come in handy in tight places on your property. 🙂👍 That *hand crank* winch is pretty sweet!! 👀 I like it! 🔧🔩

I can smell the 2 stroke takes me back to Tip Up Town a winter event on Houghton Lake in Northern Michigan 😊

Sweet! 😁👍

Looks like you have been pretty busy on it! Should be an awesome car to drive!

When you swap that motor out for the original engine save that motor. It looks period specific. Worth saving for sure

Where did you get the front windshield

Im saving a 57 chevy 150 4 dr sedan too, very cool

That thing is cool! 🙂👍 I've never seen one in person, just pictures. Always thought they were unusual looking. 🔧🔩

When you go to pait it check out rapco paint they specialize in military paint they have all the colors and such you'll only need a quart for that and it will ship right to your house. I bought their tan paint for my m35a2c and loved the way it turned out same stuff the military uses. I've welded several air tanks never been scared of it if you can weld have at it I've built my own air tanks before 120psi isn't nothing too crazy. Especially that being just tubing that will be easy to fix up should almost weld a bung in the lowest portion to drain water out so it doesn't rust again. That tubing won't explode like a bumb if anything it will just split open and the air will rush out very likely won't even throw and shrapnel. That's a very cool piece definitely deserves a restoration! I'd love to see future progress on it

I really dig the steelies and hubcaps you're running 😁👍 I'm like you and don't really like the "cooky cutter" sbc stuff but its pretty dirt cheap. Can't beat a reasonably priced roller motor 🔧

Just like my parts 3 wheeler, it runs better than the one I ride!

I have watched this like 5 times now, you should be in the movie making business, this has the start of a horror film written all over it! :) plot: Man approaches an abandoned old car running at night on a lonely dark road, he opens the door to have a look inside, and maybe a tinker with the car. Once he sits down, the door shuts, gas pedal slams to the floor, and he is in for the ride of his life. .....Then he has to explain too the local enforcement why the car was going Mach 3 when it blew by their speed trap behind a billboard ! Sounds plausible, right :) Maybe I am getting giddy and need to go to bed LOL :) .... after the 7th time watching!

That thing could pass for Christine on a dark night out in the country! :) I like the shape of the tail lights. One thing is for sure, you won't be stranded if a zombie apocalypse happens (if you can find an abandoned full gas tanker truck to feed these fuel hungry Beasts :) Oh yeah, Wood Gas, that could work!

Where valve grinder from?

Nice cars. Ive always been a chevy guy but have always liked all types of cars. Just recently ive been looking for a 1936-54 chevy. They are super expensive here in California. I have a friend who had a 49 plymouth that he restored to the original look with wide white walls and fender skirts. He told me he wanted to be different. I really liked his car, so i started looking at mopars. I found a 1939 Dodge Luxury liner and got it for a nice price. I am now a fan of old mopars.

That is great my brother!!! I have been looking for a magneto tester or a distributer tester and you have inspired me!!! Really awesome.

The best four speed shifter ever made , yes I said four speed . You add a separate rod for reverse , with a knob on the end of it and push / pull on the knob with the main shifter in neutral .

Good job and more importantly ambitious to learn by using the skills you have. Your previous instructors are proud of you.

It looks like a pre-built Rat Rod to me! :) Ideal to go cruising the strip on Friday night!

HaHa, a 3 horse Briggs gas tank on it :) Cool truck!

Glad you got your truck running! 😁👍 A gin pole bed would really come in handy for sure! Nice work and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

Wow. I have some really tiny monel gasoline engines and they are a pain to get started/keep running. I might use this trick to make them reliable enough to put in a model boat or similar.

Tell me this, what if it backfires? I guess you just end up with a small torch rolling off the side lol very cool and simple I love it!!

Good to see you again. Happy Motoring.

Thats awesome! 😀 Engine sounds healthy 🔧🔩

Awesome lookin ride! 😁👍 Sounds good too!

👍

Man, that is some excellent thinking. What a great idea to repurpose the drill press. Great work

what was your gas mileage like? did you have to stop often for gas?

What's the difference between the 260 and 289 other then the 4.000 and 3.800 bore are parts compatible?

260hp isn't crazy for a "6 cylinder" just for the shoddy cast log intake manifold for your Ford engine. Considering people are cranking out 2,000+ horsepower out of a Toyota 2JZGTE engine. 260 is peanuts but still far better than the 120 or so horsepower the 200 made from the factory. I say we all lean on some foundry's to get the Vintage Inlines aftermarket aluminum cylinder head churned out again!

Sounds like a tank 😂😂😂😂
