1932 Ford Flathead V8 starts for the first time!

[@mangopog9814]

Those Ardun heads makes that flathead sound and look sweet, that’s a beautiful piece of art.

[@timothysmith5769]

"I thought about it when I was laying in bed this morning and I didn't write it down." Wow, I feel your pain. I think I have said that at least two or a thousand times in my life.

[@CedTheMechanic]

I love watching experienced ole heads work you can learn so much with laughter.

[@ronalddaub7965]

The process of doing that to a flathead is amazing. It sounds good.

[@kenswitzer4133]

Ole Duntov designed some great heads. I know a guy with a 40 Ford Coupe with V8, standard trans and glass packs that sounds like a love song.

[@krisdrinkwine6045]

Sounds great boys, what a ride!

[@bossboily1276]

looks great with factory roof not chopped to sunglasses

[@johnmerritt5462]

Looks and sounds great

[@Overworkt]

This was brilliant - just like me and my best mate 😅

[@geraldswain3259]

Super quality build guys . I agree though the yellow springs draw the eye to much.

[@ronalddaub7965]

I remember seeing 1/4 speed double lobe camshafts in 50s @ 60 hot rod magazine. Including the larger cam sprocket / gear

[@clyde1928]

Looks like you may need a water pump riser, to get the fan centerd

[@steamsoldier]

Looks so cool 👍 but that Fram filter 😆 seriously though nice car!

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

Well you kids are sure havin' fun. But with the ARDUN OHV conversion, it's time to stop calling it a flathead.

[@piewagn]

Kool Beanz......haven't seen ya on the HAMB lately!

[@stevewheatley243]

That's one sweet Ford. Sounds healthy. Solid lifters?

[@79tazman]

It must of been the blinker fluid was running out of the steering column LOL!!!

[@smokeygasser4037]

Cam sounds solid 👌 also sounds like it would like a little more timing. I wouldn't get hung up on a should-be timing number the dynamics of every engine is different and people tend to get hung on static numbers

[@richm.6220]

I like the manual water temp gauges for that reason and that's all, I install older vehicles.

[@BoxcarsGarage]

Very classy build....one recommendation, drop the yellow paint on the springs. It's a bit of a distraction from your build.

[@bossboily1276]

same first time beautiful car

[@brickley2]

Did you say “cavorting in DC? If so what years would that have been?

[@locodefra]

La belleza del flathead es justamente eso,las cabezas planas,cuál es el sentido de por válvulas a la cabeza?

[@davidgrimble2531]

when you try to put the grill shell on I think you will find it won't fit unless you cut the front corners off and re weld them

[@murraykennedy3577]

You need to have the car running when you check the trans fluid level, and it sounds like it needs the rockers adjusted

[@79tazman]

Not to check if there is fluid in the trans you don't

[@gvet47]

A flathead made to look like a hemi?

[@BuzzLOLOL]

Ardun hemi OHV converted...

[@hfdzl]

Sounds pretty nice! Running the engine in a closed space is unhealthy!!

[@joez8914]

I’m so sad when I see billet tilt columns in a car like that. Oh well.

[@HeathBilbrey]

The lifters or rockers are really noisy. Maybe you have not adjusted the rockers after a heat cycle? Sounds like a diesel. Beautiful car.

[@wilheitbaum6254]

Looks as though he is not planning hood sides - coil over mounts also would be a problem for sides. But it will look great with those valve covers out on the open.

[@connorarnold9362]

What rockers? Its a flat head, the adjuster is on the lifter

[@BuzzLOLOL]

@@connorarnold9362 - It's OHV hemi now...

[@connorarnold9362]

BuzzLOLOL Ohhhhh alright my bad

[@BuzzLOLOL]

Solid lifters so will be making some noise...

[@duanewhite3184]

Why have the carburetors on there if you don't want to run it like that

[@Nobody-ld7mk]

The Picaso of Flatheads no more... @ $25,000 plus?

[@nealhead195]

I see a HUGE mistake That FRAM filter.

[@ronalddaub7965]

Somehow the oil came out of the coloum 😆

[@chuckb9867]

I think that engine would look Better in Mike's car. And m 00 n approves it

[@johnedge8410]

Grumpy old guy

[@duanewhite3184]

Please put antifreeze inside the radiator

[@jeramiebradford1]

I keep trying to get a look at that white race car. Meanwhile this guy is trying to diagnose a leaky steering column.

[@duanewhite3184]

Not a hot rod motor my ass you better put some water or antifreeze in it before you cook them main bearings out of it

[@michealcorbin6095]

Sure doesn't look like any Flathead that I've ever seen and I have seen a lot of them

[@BuzzLOLOL]

Yeah, it's now an OHV hemi...

[@mikebuckley5740]

That’s not a flathead

[@MrWeedpatch]

Seems like waste of money installing an Ardun conversion kit on top of a 1932 block with only 3 main bearings holding it together....it is a nice looking car though...

[@Rumpleskin]

Isn't that all the flattys have,3 mains?
