What a wonderful film! I used Ford E350 cargo vans for work in the early eighties and bought a 89 used one to start my own distribution business without realizing it came with a bumper to bumper warranty up to 60 K miles. It hauled extra load of magazines in San Francisco’s 46 hills and eventually the transmission broke, I took it to my neighborhood mechanic and he sent it to a transmission shop for it to be refurbished for $3 K not a small sum back then. Then he found out that it was still under warranty but it could only be honored if sent to a dealership. I was beside myself! Then I received a check for the full amount from Ford because there was an exception, if the vehicle broke down during a long weekend due to a holiday since you couldn’t get it fixed right away. I couldn’t believe my luck and Ford’s ethics. Then and there I vowed to be a Ford customer for life. Interesting enough previously I had a bad experience buying a used 79 Ford Fairmont, probably one of the worst era for Ford quality control. When my daughter was born I bought my first brand new car, a Ford Escort Station Wagon that not only was the most affordable Station Wagon at the time but it lasted 24 years (with only a new engine as a major repair). I eventually bought two brand new E350 and another used one. After 35 years in the publishing business I closed shop in 2018, and decided to drive as a Rideshare driver biding my time for retirement, so I bought a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid (the second time Ford offered me a 0% interest loan), I recently did my 100 K maintenance and it passed with flying colors regardless of all the SF hills! Henry Ford changed the world, and I’m grateful for that in the twentieth first century!

We lived in a colonial two level with a full basement, and the housing was all unique and not cookie cutter housing like you sees now a days. We were well off, had a nice education and lifestyle since Ford took great care of their employees.

This is without doubt the best automobile documentary i have seen of this era. As has been said by another commentator this vid is a national treasure. It is especially pleasing as back in the late 60s when i was 20 i managed to buy a well used Ford Pilot with the Flat Head V8 engine which was the totally coolest machine in town , especially as i lived in the small town of Crowborough, in Sussex , England. I bought it from a local businessman that sold it to me for a price i can't recall, but it was cheap. Being a mechanic i sorted it best i could but the brakes were mechanical and were nothing short of dangerous. My pals and girlfriends would all put some money together to buy petrol and we'd head off to London or to the coast so as to go bowling or dancing or whatever. It wouldn't have been the same though if it hadn't had that fabulous V8 Flathead motor. Thank to all those real and proper engineers and designers that put together something that is still recognised as great engineering even in todays world.

The engineering that went into early cars is just fascinating. Now ever bodies basically got it all figured out, OHV is compact but inefficient, DOHC is the way to go, the only really viable engine configurations for normal cars are V6, V8 and I4. Everything redlines at around the same point, everything is either old or using direct injection, even the different types of Variable Valve Timing and Lift systems are kinda all the same. Transverse FWD is the cheapest, struts are the way to go for pretty much everything thats not a truck or a sports car, its all kinda bland to be honest. The only place left where companies are doing all sorts of weird stuff is with transmissions. VW/Audi tries to use a dsg in everything, Mazda, Ford, and GM are all using a different really advanced type of torque converted automatic, Suburu, Honda, and Nissan are all experimenting with very different types of CVT. There is a big split coming soon of who sticks to NA and who surrenders to the bandwagon of using undersized turbos that fall flat on their face around 3500 rpm, but thats a choice between shit and not shit, not an interesting decision. Back then they had all sorts of crazy stuff. Multi piece blocks, sleeve valves, all sorts of crazy over and undersquare engines, eight or so different types of carburetors, all sorts of crazy suspension stuff. I was reading a book recently that had a picture of some touring car from the 20s, and it had this really weird semi independent rear suspension setup where a transverse leaf spring doubled as an antiroll bar. Even cooling systems varied in different cars.

I had a 1981 VW Scirocco. I truly loved that car. It was the best driving car I have ever owned. I am presently driving a VW Jetta Sportwagen. I like it lots. I have been driving, repairing, and modifying VW's since my family bought a Beetle in 1963. The Scirocco had an AC problem from brand new. The thing you learn about VW is you will have at least one problem from the start. You don't know what the problem will be, but there will be a problem. The Scirocco AC was controlled by a crazy system of levers and wires. Supposedly, the temperature would be controlled by this Mickey Mouse system. After 2 visits to the dealer, I decided I had enough. Went into dash and was shocked at what I saw. This Rube Godberg system would not stay in alignment. I went back to the parts counter at the VW dealer and got a lighted switch that matched the other rocker switches in the car. I bypassed the microswitch that controller the compressor clutch. So I ended up with a "desert only" AC system. Even though I usually had high humidity, I never had a problem.

He said that they would drop the oil pan and let it run for a half hour with no oil pressure. He also said it was a flathead Ford. It sounds like they don’t load the main and rod bearings very heavily judging by your experience and this.

@@Clickbaiters 99% of the engineering in this video were not invented for this car, but much before. The problems were solved over a long period of time. Engineers job is to solve technical problems mostly with known solutions as efficiently as possible. That is what makes engineering different from art; the process to design something is not chaotic but systematic, the aim is to develop efficient solution processes to common engineering problems. For example, a car can be divided into smaller sub problems; engine, gearbox, frame, body, braking system, etc. And those to even smaller problems. For each small problem, there usually is a known solution process already, like electrical spark plugs for ignition, etc. Then something new on some field may be developed, like the new type of V8 engine in this video, but even in that case, 90% of it is existing technology. Complexity is actually a very bad thing in engineering, the idea is not to make a complicate design, the idea is usually to keep it simple, because complicate design is more prone to failure, more difficult/expensive to manufacture, etc. Smart design is that design, that manages to do a complicate thing as simply as possible. But indeed even simple things can be quite difficult to get working exactly right. The devil is in the details.

Ok, the biggest problem early combustion engines face was reliable cooling. This single part is very complex in comparison to piston technology. Witch had already existed for hundreds of years.

These methods of engine production and assembly were still used in some countries as late as the mid 1960s. No wonder these engines required oil as thick as 20W-50. By the 1960s , 10W-40 was the oil of choice for most V 8s , and V6 engines , bad choice when its less than 20 degrees F outside ! This is also the time when engine oil warmers were introduced , an idea brought from Scandinavia and the far European east. Yet they lasted , why ? In those days , there was no VVT , V-Tec , Mivec and so on . Engines had many many less parts and were simple to maintain. Today , a totally different ball game. Great video by the way !!!!!!!!!
