Flathead V8

[@thomaskirk3548]

What a nice treat to find on a rainy day. Thanks guys!

What a stunningly beautiful restoration on your flathead V8. My dad purchased a new 1951 Ford Customline with 8BA engine that I enjoyed driving and working on during my dating years. I wonder why you're using such thick oil in your engine? I would think a 10W-30 Synthetic would work well. These engines run hot and Synthetic doesn't break down under heat. Love the way it sounds. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool video! That sound is incredible. Keep them coming

I see you are running the Stump Puller starter, first time I've seen it on a video.

Looks amazing? Dude it sounds amazing! This is what cars should sound like. This right here. I could listen to that thing tick over all day!

[@brendasnell1988]

Lots of hard work and dedication.

What’s the benefit of the wide belt pumps vs. the narrow belted ones? I ask only because I to am rebuilding an 8BA and am gathering parts from the Speedway catalog.

[@robertbakelaar3710]

that will look good in F250. Great project!

Awesome build, will this channel be showing more Flathead stuff?

[@CraftyOldGit]

Lovely! Looks wonderful and sounds just like a V8 should.

[@garykent5545]

Nothing sounds better than a flatty.

[@Dag12324]

would you consider selling it ?

[@jbakelaar]

He already sold it. I’m his son. It was a covid passion project. Now on to the next for him.

Nice motor I just don't get the idea of a 12 volt change over that part just doesn't seem right

[@ninja63639]

6v is alright for a show car or weekend cruiser. If you want to use your car on a daily or semi daily basis such as I'm doing with my '49 club coupe, 12v makes more sense as it's not as sensitive to a little cable corrosion or a loose ground that you might not catch. It also helps if you need a jump start in the event that your battery dies and your facing up hill, if you need a replacement alternator or light if you're way away from home or of you want a bluetooth device so you can listen to music.

An engine stand like this is the most distractive tool you can use to run a new engine on. It prevents the rings from seating by constant running without a load. Better to use an old tire Gramps Nice work tho!!

Your volume is to low. Old people are hard of hearing.

Im a younger guy and don’t know, but is that tall of an intake plenum normal? The runners are really long from anything I’m familiar with
