Six days. More than 40,000 photos. One fully rebuilt Ford Flathead V8. All boiled down to an intense 6-minute video.
If you enjoy our KZbin videos and have been wondering how you could help support their creation, consider joining the Hagerty Drivers Club, which now offers a free, 60-day trial: bit.ly/Join-HD... ---- Already a member? THANK YOU!
This engine was sourced during our Swap to Street 100-hour build of a 1946 Ford pickup at the 2015 Hershey Swap Meet. It faithfully chugged along for over 4000 miles before we decided to give it the rebuild it deserved.

Hey, all "gearheads" do that when their"babies" fires right up!!! 😎 that was the look of joy when that happens!!😎 what I thought was interesting was the fact that that engine had only 3 three main bearings in the block unlike modern engines. Nice job though!! ( IF that was my truck, I'd be painting that baby an nice color.)

The earliest Ford flathead V8s are almost 86 years old. Amazing to think. The ones usually rebuilt,kept running, and built for speed are the '49 and up flatties, built by both Ford and Mercury, but still, think about the years these motors have put on and are still loved enough to keep bringing back to life, over and over. Yes there are much more powerful motors out there, but nothing beats the cool of an old, well built flattie. Any nice '30s car that the owner went cheap and slapped a smallblock chevy into has a lot to learn. Much Love to the old Flathead...

A close family member of mine learned to machine and rebuild engines working for his father and continued the operate the family machine shop for an additional 75 years. The knowledge and skill that man has will be mostly lost when he passes. I always dreamed of working with him building engines but never made the time. He’s since retired and sold the equipment. I remember watching him “leaning” on his crank grinder to pull off that extra .0005 from a crank journal. You can’t be taught to do that. “Feeling” your equipment is almost a clairvoyant super power. He still knows all the machining dimension of nearly every engine component of nearly every engine made after the turn of the century. Just amazing! Great video!

Never Mind my first is a 1988 Chevy silver auto only 5,000$ but it is a steal it's band new inside and out I still have it but me my dad n my drag racer friends are planing to rebuild the engine I'm hoping it makes around 500 hp to 600hp, but it needs a rebuild bad oil rings are done puffing white smoke runs a little hot but man you barely tap the gas and the tires smoke for miles i love it and since its a 88 classic truck its dropped just a tad then lifted in the back a tap cause every one did that in the 80s I don't know why but I'm going to keep it that way, and since its a 88 it has had speakers behind the seats keeping that too, the steering wheel is after market but it is Crome so is my shifter and every thing where the dash is behind the steering wheel it looks better then the stock, my next car is still being build it all for my dad but I'll get it, it's a 1963 Chevy Impala maybe I'll come back and tell you a bit about it around July :D. Sorry for bad grammar too lazy to go back and read this all and fix it.

I love these time lapse engine rebuild videos. Whether it's the Ford Flathead, the Cadillac V8 or the Buick engines, I enjoy them all. Now then... I have a unique idea for an engine build... A Ford Super-duty V8! Built from 1958 thru 1981, they were available in displacements of 401, 477 and 534cid. They were only used in medium and heavy trucks. I don't believe there was ever many "performance" parts available for them. However, with modern "tricks of the trade", I think it would be interesting to see what could be done.

Pretty sure oil filters only became standard equipment in 1941! Even after that the filters worked off a bypass system where only 10% of the oil was filtered at a time. It took a full 5 minutes at highway speed for 100% of the oil to be filtered. Pretty incredible engines for sure!

As a former motor mechanic in England in the 1960s we never even saw V8 engines, let alone worked on one. The largest engine I ever came across during my apprenticeship was in our firm's ancient Packard hearse. It had a straight 8 side valve engine. In this video you do an amazing refurb job on that V8. Very interesting to watch.

My dad restored a 1951 Victoria 2 door coupe with a flathead V8. After a rebuild you could lean on the front fender while this was running and you couldn’t tell. 6volt system back then and vacuum wipers. Step on gas, no wipers. We would drive around to junk yards on Saturdays looking for a piece of trim or an emblem or whatever part we needed. No computer inventory system like today’s junk yards. Show up and walk around hoping to find a car with the part you need. I hated having to help him back then. (11-12 years old) but looking back he sure taught me a lot about cars. I’m almost 50 now and I never bring a car in for service if I think I can fix it myself.

You could go the the junkyard, buy a cheap non-functioning Chevy 350 as a core, and install a low price rebuild kit. Chevy 350 rebuild kits aren't expensive because the engines are so common. Usually a kit with .030 oversize pistons, .010 undersize rod journals, and .010 undersize main journals is suitable for most cores. You would have to have a machinist crack test the core engine, rebore the cylinders, grind the crankshaft, resurface gasket mating surfaces, and do a final spin balance of the crank, but you can do the majority of the work alone. Finally, if you don't need the Chevy 350, there is always someone who will buy your rebuild and install it in a pickup truck. Try getting a 1988-1995 350 TBI engine from a pickup truck. There are plenty of those trucks both in the junkyard and on the road. There will be someone ready to buy your rebuilt engine. Another thing you could do is learn how to port the cylinder heads while they are off the engine. You could also balance the connecting rods and pistons before installing them.

Except that the other engines you mentioned put out a LOT more horsepower than this thing. I'd say that the small block chevy is the most legendary of the three due to cost, high production, and power. Legendary for power would be the old Hemis.
