[@thommytheboy8420]

Easiest way for a rough guess capacity in a ford, pull a spark plug and use a piece of wire down the hole to measure the stroke, 2.870= 221/260/289 (unless it has a 5 bolt bellhousing you can guarantee its a 289, only 65 and earlier ran the 5 bolt bellhousing and no 221/260's had the 6 bolt bellhousing) 3.00= 302, 3.5=351

[@briannelson8373]

You can also quickly tell the difference between a 289/302 and a 351W by measuring the width of the intake. The 8.2" deck 289/302 is about 8" wide, while the taller 9.5" deck 351W will have a roughly 11" wide intake manifold. Also, on a 289/302, the pad for the distributor is almost level with the China rail, while it's about an inch down on a 351 because of the taller deck. Both have the thermostat housing in the intake manifold, which is an easy way to tell the difference between a Windsor and a 335-series Cleveland, which has it in the block.

Hey Derek, the actual term is "Pin the ears down". Ever drive a Model T with the original drive train. The 'ears' were the throttle (right side lever) and the spark advance (left side levet).

That was sweet cant wait to see a feller get er going in the ditches

[@joshua_J]

I'm so damn excited to see this drive!!!! On the third episode I say we just go on ahead and throw a supercharger on it simply for more smiles

[@robertgarbe6348]

Pull it off the corvette, a guy thinks it will fit fine.

[@denisdeeney7094]

I like your way of thinking

[@gregw2388]

Honestly, one of my favorite new (to me) channels on YT. Derek's delivery and content is so engaging. Keep 'em comin'!

[@markjamison4256]

He has a tv show to on the motor trend ch called roadworthy rescue

"lower than Chris Gaines album sales" = wins the internets

[@waynechristlieb669]

Not a lot of fellers know of Chris Gaines..... awesome one liner.

[@claytonkoop7980]

People who love Garth Brooks usually never heard of Chris Gains, my opinion both are equally terrible

[@mrcraigpetty]

Hehehe that was my favourite line too!

[@curly01969]

was she winterized?- "I'll take no for $700 Alex" :) love it!!

[@commonsense1193]

That’s correct Travis

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

So cool! My favourite part is your respect for the mans hard work!

[@russellnotestine6436]

You're gonna have to change the tracks to some kind of 'high speed' deal. At about 90-110 mph the attached metal bars are gonna get thrown off the track when it turns the corners at the pulleys

[@dilligafdude9434]

That 289 sounds so nice once she smoothed herself out.

Me with any other creator: *skips over sponsorship Me with Derek: *watches the whole sponsorship because he somehow makes it enjoyable to watch*

SCHOOLKID: "Dad, there's no school today because of snow!" DAD (Firing up this V8 assault snowmobile): "Wanna bet?"

[@danesen]

When Derek talks about his sponsor I listen. I might even think about gettin me a subscription too, just because. I already got more sprayway bottles than I know what to do with. Why not grab a monthly box full of random guy stuff?

[@gilnorton1]

The stuff you drag to the shop always amazes me. You have some of the best content and are always amusing and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Peace

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thank you Dave

[@agentorange2554]

So I'm just starting to watch this video, and I'm asking myself, what can possibly go wrong?

[@leebreshears357]

Thank you for not swearing in your episodes. I love that I can feel confident sharing your channel with young people, I really enjoy your projects and have learned many things from you.

[@phantomwalker8251]

hell man,,how do you expect young people to grow up if they dont swear. ??..damn it..

[@c.j.1089]

I just want to also thank him for this. I worked in a shop for years, and I've never seen a mechanic that can do his job without gratuitous swearing. I am not one of them.

[@chloesamclutch]

I was waiting for you to drive it 600 miles home!😆

"Just got done putting the negative cable on, why are you always so sad". That was classic 😂

I know, the inflection he put on *negative* was so frickin hilarious hahahaha

I didn't get the joke the first time I watched. But after watching again today I had quite a long laugh.

Derek: Negative cable, are you sad? Negative Cable: I'm positive.

Not only Derick has yokes, the funniest fans also. We all should meet up on his next event for a couple of cold snacks

[@tstryker03]

I feel like I'm watching an episode of Modern Marvels on the History Channel. This guy was quite the engineer, i don't think the Space Shuttle has this many moving parts.

[@dacarvoid45]

It definitely has way more. Because it still had mechanical switches. Also it had hydraulics,for actuating the in atmosphere flight controls, and landing gear. There are also parts, that actuate the throttle for the rockets. Also probably some other stuff that i don't know about.

[@dacarvoid45]

Also i know your joking. I was just Providing info, for those who didn't know.

Radiator placement gives me flashbacks from that dude hurt at cleetus and cars from his rad exploding on his back.

As a Journeyman Motorcycle Mechanic since 1986 and a Ford guy, I cannot wait for your next post. Your description on how the electrical and mechanical systems work is great. Have a fantastic day from Alberta

You hit the nail on the head by covering reading plugs and points! I'm going on 40 and that's how I was raised!

[@mikewingler3042]

Well, if the intake is original to the block, it is can only be a 260 or 289. 302, while in the same engine family, was introduced in '68 model cars. :) Love the channel, Derek. One of my new favorites!
