1952 Ford F1 Truck 239 Flathead V8 8RT Engine Stock Rebuild Running Start Up

[@rustyrobinson8027]

IT WAS READY TO GO it's like the engine started the Starter that flathead sounds AWESOME 👍

[@senorkaboom]

Now, THAT sounds like a well tuned and timed V-8. Smooth as glass idle and no noise. Good job!!

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

There is some noise, but very smooth running.

Bringing back memories of my 38 Ford pickup I had in high school in the early 70s. To this day the best vehicle I have owned, never mind the over heating. Always amazed at how slow it would idle.

[@Seazer009]

Nice work, I love the old flat heads. Only thing wrong with that engine is that it isn't mine..

[@marksawyer2394]

As the owner of this rebuilt engine ( which is now operating fine in the truck) I would advise of the the competency and overall quality of workmanship of work performed. mark s.

A real beauty,hope it's still running strong!

[@johngrepo9976]

Good job

I found a 1952 Ford F6 COE in a field in West Texas. I located the owner, asked about buying it, and did. I bought it and I'm going back to pick it up in 2 days. It is all original - including a totally unmolested 239 flathead V8. All of the glass is intact / not broken and not cloudy. All of the chrome is there and the body is straight as can be. West Texas did its magic to the paint and the patina is killer. Can't wait to see if I can get it running. The previous owner said he parked it in the field and left it there for the past 11 years.

Oh man, what a beautiful sound!!

I have "flathead envy" every time I listen to one of your videos😎!

[@barryismygod]

Could have put edelbrock alloy heads and painted them the stock color plus a set of headers and a three carb setup and it would have been an old school hot rod motor but I like the fact you rebuilt it stock with a little bump in performance! Flatty's forever!

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Sounds good

[@dirtdigger2110]

Keep em stock!! So perferct 👌🏻👌🏻

[@rexjolles]

They're even better souped up, but stock is nice as well

[@captlarry-3525]

[@briansargeant1949]

Gorgeous motor

[@boneal4942]

Love it!

[@RalphSampson...]

I hardly call it "completely stock". You've done a lot of work to it. Great sounding engine! It does look stock, except for the alternator. I'm trying to determine if I should "build" mine. It, too, is an 8RT (bone stock) in a '53 F-100. Mine runs smoothly but, I would like to give it some muscle.....and sound.

[@FrisellFan01]

Wow beautiful.......

[@alejandrolong5609]

Que lindos recuerdos de mis V8 que tuve un auto Ford 1937,y un coe 1948👏👏👏👏

[@errolbeverleyyoung5542]

my brother Fred Young just bought one of these trucks

[@waynemetevia7983]

A long time ago i had a chance to buy a 1952 Ford F1. The body was beyond help but the engine was complete. Can't remember if it was in running condition. Almost bought it for the engine to install in a '51 F1 i bought minus the drive train. Instead i installed a small block Chevy for the extra horsepower. It worked out great but now i wished I'd rebuilt that flathead.

[@fh8pu]

Thankyou for the video. I'd like to see the oil flow path including through the pan bulkhead fitting please. I bought a '47 59a .060 over in a basket. Some info on oil pump and full flow filter plumbing would be helpful. I have. some diagrams on drilling the block, I would like to see the procedure you used. Bruce

Sweet!

Hola ermoso vídeo gresi viendo ese motor v8 en un Ford del 50 de mi padre soy de Cuba saludo desde Tenerife.

[@flyingfinn7786]

I like the engine stand setup. Anyone know if those are available to purchase or know of plans to build one ? Thanks.

[@michaelmchugh2923]

What color green did you use here? It looks awesome! Stock flathead green is alot darker.

[@rustycaveman]

I would like to know where I can get the original green tint. I discovered mine is green under the dirt and oil.

[@michaelmchugh2923]

@@rustycaveman I have an old can here, it says 1927- 1948 ford engine green enamel. At the top is says a part number. Its , RSP6P . You could probably get it through bob drake's catalog or website.

[@rustycaveman]

@@michaelmchugh2923 thank you for the hint. searching forums that lead me to the source "Roy Nacewicz" which is now called thirdgenauto.com has the paint. Bob Drake is just a reseller and currently out of stock. I deeply appreciate the details.

[@mitchellrathbun6915]

Looks like it’d be stupid easy to work on. 🤔

[@dehoedisc7247]

Beautiful restoration of a near-stock 239 flathead. The installation of a 12 volt GM alternator and coil (and starter?) is absolutely unnecessary, since the original equipment would run just fine. Some quizzical notion of people these days to be Unable to leave classics as stock, and settle for near-stock is just unfortunate. Pure stock would have been a tribute to the original Ford design. This modified unit was so unnecessary.

[@markk3652]

The 12 volt conversion on a flathead gives one the ability to equip the car with modern day electronics/radio. Sure, the six volt system worked, but its more of a pain to try to incorporate voltage boosters for modern radios, or cell phone chargers. The coil is absolutely no different looking than a 6v unit, the alternator is just a modern upgrade for better usability. The starter looks stock also, the 6v starter can handle 12v no problem as long as you don't crank them for a stupid long time.

[@dondesnoo1771]

had 47woodie in58 the distributor down front run through water no run. generators always a problem too hot up here.
