1959 Plymouth Suburban Custom station wagon parked for 52 years! Mopar Flathead! Episode 2!

[@pawelwolski1316]

I would also like to take back and apologise for the "you broke the valve" comment form the first vid. No broken valve, no oil pan pull, no sludge removal, no bueno. Your dog is super cool too, if now for the I live half way around the world thing, I would be looking at buying this waggon. Looking forward to your next adventure. Thx again.

I'm so glad to see you keeping the original engine. She has too much character to rat rod her out!

[@TheFalcro1234]

I am actually glad to see you working with the original. there are so many cars with modern 6 and 8 cylinders in them these flat heads are disappearing fast and no one seems to notice. I am a huge fan of inline 6 cylinders anyway the fact that you are rustoring (Mustie1 reference) this one makes me happy.

[@saxongreen78]

That Mopar flathead was bulletproof, too...good for 500K miles in taxicabs back in the 1950s.

[@GamingBallz]

Was modern for their time

[@66skate]

Dylan McCool is the perfect example of this. He currently has a 58 Savoy that needs engine work on the 6, so he swapped an 8 into it. Seems to be a regular thing with him.

[@3rdworldgarage450]

The problem is that if you want to drive these cars on modern roads in normal urban and suburban traffic, they are borderline dangerous. The lack of power and brakes creates a huge mismatch with the capabilities of the rest of traffic. I am just happy to see them live again, even if only for a little while before we are all forced into electric commuter pods controlled by the government and multinationals.

[@TheFalcro1234]

@@3rdworldgarage450 I agree with you point. In my defense I was speaking from a space of love for this old iron and the others like it that survive out there.

My first exposure to you was the previous video when you first pulled the head and it looked like you were going to abandon the project because you broke a valve. I didn’t think much of you for seemingly giving up then. But now you have my respect, big time. Good for you for making this old flathead live! I’m subscribing.

I like the idea of fixing the original flathead 6. Not going to be the quickest off the mark, but it's still a good, solid and reliable engine. Plenty of torque. It will be a nice car for a Sunday outing.

[@motorhomeman1949]

So cool to see you give that old flathead another chance! I know they don't make the most power, but there's just something cool about them. Way too many people nowadays would take one look at that rusty old motor and think trash, and then LS swap the car or something stupid. I'm not always opposed to engine swaps but I just wish more people would wrench on the old stuff.

[@JDawghasaTruck]

Good job that! My Power Wagon has the same engine, amazing what it does dragging around all that steel! I didn’t break a valve but yea, mine were stuck too. In 1950 the cooling system was unpressurized and the rad holds about 4-5 gallons. Belt tensioner came loose on one trip, the temp gauge went up but it made it home no problem. They actually like running a bit “warm”. My first car as a kid was a 1960 Dodge Dart with the slant six, a big leap in technology! Nope, don’t want it back😉

[@paulbennell3313]

I think it was a fortunate turn of events that led to the engine being taken out. You wouldn't have got so much crud out of it otherwise. That engine sounded pretty good once it was warmed up. I do like a straight 6. I'd keep the engine. V8 swaps are ten-a-penny. Disc brakes on the front are a good idea. Myself though, I wouldn't do too much more than it takes to make it safe and reliable. It's too cool as it is. Love it!
