Like id rather have a little more drag and not have to use a 2 foot long extension on a ratchet to get to the starter thats 4 unches below the hood and have to go in from the bottom! There is a reason all the old timers say they don't make thing as good as/like they used to. Its because its true!!! Plus everything is plastic now and shatters into confetti when u get in a fender bender going 4mph lol. Its kinda sad. That's why I prefer built or rebuilt older vehicles vs most moder stuff.

A tip: Use a deep walled socket and keep constant hand pressure on it and hit to top of the socket with a hammer to dislodge the valve keepers. Keeping hand tension on the socket it just to keep the keepers from flying all over. They make a tool similar to a socket with magnets already in it for this purpose, but a socket has always worked fine for me. A LOT quicker way to disassemble a cylinder head. Thanks for the video on this older classic. Good luck with it!

In 1963 midyear was Ford's introduction of the famed 427cid in 4bbl form at 410bhp and in 2x4bbl configuration at 425bhp with solid lifters. The midyear introduction of these power plants did coincided with NASCAR time requirements to allow Ford to use these raw racing power plants on the NASCAR circuit the following year if put into production in the prior year.

332s were only installed in ‘58 & ‘59 Fords. Both 332 and 352 were introduced in 1958, but the 332 was dropped for 1960. What he has under that hood is a very rare version of the 352. Solid lifters. 360 hp. And this souped up version was only available in 1960. And I’ve never heard of a four speed on the column. Unless you consider a three speed on the column with overdrive.

I think it might be a 390 cubic inch engine, the early 390s all were made from a 352 Block. The early 390 engines were all stamped 352 on the block.. That was a good combo with the 3-speed, if it had overdrive option. That Starliner is rare, I doubt that car is worth making roadworthy, but there are many parts salvageable from it, I noticed the grill and side trim looked ok. The spotlight/rear view mirror combo looked nice. I like your videos, the head set camera is ok. May require more editing because of movement to find tools and other stuff, it does get jerky at times. Keep up the Good Work, wish I was younger and could do what you’re doing.

I think you way overstated the HP of that motor. I believe the single 4V was around 300 HP. There was a super rare 6 pack version that was around 350-360hp. I used to run a lot of FE's when I was younger & you needed something really special to get close to 400 HP. To get 400 HP stock you had to wait a few more years to get a tri powered 390 & there weren't a whole lot of them. The FE motors were really heavy & it took a lot of money to get them to make decent HP. Still, a 390 4V - 4 speed Mustang was about the craziest thing a high schooler could drive back around 1980. Ahhhhhh..... memories. Have fun. Enjoy.

@@DanKirchner5150 I think the y block came several different ways. 352, 360, 390, 406, 427 and 428. I had a 1970 F250 Camper Special which had the 360 engine. I remember one very cold night I worked 3rd shift and when i pulled out of the parking lot around 7:00 am to head home, the engine started ticking. It was windy and way below zero that night. I pulled into the drug store right next door to where I worked, opened the hood and saw oil everywhere. The filter case had split at the seam and was gone. That is where the oil went. Luckily, the store had a small area where they kept some auto parts and oil. They had a PH 8 filter and oil. It was what got me home that cold night. At one of our local auto parts stores, I was talking to the guy at the counter about the filter coming apart at the seam. He had a Fram book and in their tests, it takes 250 lbs to deform the end of the case and 300 lbs to break the seam. I ended up putting a new oil pump in because the pump has the relief valve built in the pump. The valve must have stuck on that cold night. I still have my 1968 Ford Torino. It has the 390 4 speed which was rated 335 HP. I have rebuilt the engine 3 times. The last time I had the machine shop get me a Bullitt Cam with the 427 grind and solid lifters. Had to get adjustable rockers and valve springs to go with the cam. The difference in performance is mid range, 2000 to 5500 RPM. I am very lucky to have kept the car. I almost never talk to anyone at car shows that can say their car is a one owner. I can!

The virtues of the FE, were mainly about torque, because if the meaty crank.They are quirky but neat engines.

Restore it, bud. It's just a hood, some glass and a LOT of tricky body work, lol. I like the head cam best, btw. I have faith cars in this bad of shape could look like new again, i've seen it.

The 1960 is the rarest of all Galaxies, but that one may be too far gone. You may search worldwide and not find the rear glass. I've been looking for a 60 or 61 in decent condition and there aren't any in any condition.

@@REMBRANTTUBE More expensive than the finished car is worth, so it would have to be a labor of love, not profit. You could put almost unlimited money into a 68 Charger, 69 Camaro, or fastback Mustang, and get it back at auction (maybe), but a 60 Starliner? Only if George Poteet didn't already have one.

1960 Fords were a much nicer design than the 1959, and the Sunliner was especially nice with its clean roof design. This one looks too far gone unless you are a real pro with a big checkbook, but it still has a lot of rare and useful trim parts.

and if a standard 352 4bbl motor they were 300 horse and loved to overheat that is why the surge tank is there..
@sergeantmasson36693 жыл бұрын
@@rorymunroe3771 That's not the reason for the surge tank. The radiator was lower than the top of the engine, thus tank was there as an expansion tank. Such tanks began in '58 when the FE engines were first installed.
