We Had Issues! Small Block Ford Engine Build 64 Galaxie Station Wagon

Well it has been a very long tome since we have done a Ford engine build on the channel. And since this 64 Galaxie County Sedan station wagon came from the factory with a 289 Windsor small block ford then what better engine to put back in it than another SBF. Unfortunately despite trying to rebuild the original engine it ended up not being salvageable and we had to switch to a 5.0 HO that I already had pulled out of the red Fairmont Futura. In this engine build we are going to upgrade the valve train with a cam, lifters, pushrods, springs, retainer, locks, and timing chain from Comp Cams. A Wieand intake manifold from a fan, Mr. Gasket finned aluminum valve covers, Scott Drake pulleys, and a Holley carburetor. I hope you like the build and stay tuned to see this thing running in the wagon in the next video!
Here is a list of all the parts used in this build.
35-421-8 Comp hydraulic roller cam
986-16 Comp double valve spring
89311-16 Comp Evolution lifters
740-16 Comp retainers available at compcams.com
2135 Comp double roller timing chain
611-16 Comp locks
503-16 Comp valve stem seals
0-4777SAE Holley double pumper carb
B-F101 Scott Drake pulley set. available at holley.com
6861G Mr.Gasket finned aluminum valve covers

Make sure that the 50oz balance flywheel and the 28oz have the same tooth count. I'm pretty sure that the Foxbody flywheel is 157 tooth. It will make a difference depending what starter the bellhousing uses. Love your videos especially the ford content.

You could try doing and at home electrolysis in a 55 gallon drum, I've seen youtube videos where people have use that method and seemed to clean the water passages real good.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thanks for the tip!

[@gregallen4272]

Just remember to do it outside because it creates hindenburg zeppelin gas or hydrogen gas it doesn't degrade the metal and works well with any metal except stainless steel it can produce a very dangerous gas with stainless steel but it should never be rusty be safe especially when young people are involved stay and a non metallic plastic barrel really is important

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

You can take that 289 and put it in a cut down plastic barrel and then fill with vinegar and let soak for 2 weeks and vinegar eat the rust out of it.... You should give it a try for a side project. It would also to be a good science experiment for the kids to see....

[@nickmcminn2137]

Ive never took off a SBF timing cover that didn't have cracks tbf. Newer 5.0 water pumps also turn opposite than the old 289 because the later model is set up for a serpentine drive belt. Don't forget the dipstick provision in the block 👍

[@jonlennon3348]

The timing cover depends on the water pump. Since it was a 64 it may have had an aluminum special pump so good luck.You may need a late model timing chain cover to make it right.

Reminds me of Building and changing over my 58 Ford Fairlane to a Police Interceptor 427 with 2 4bbl carbs when I was a Kid and changing the 3 speed to a floor shift 4 speed. It has everything and still runs good. I went in the Army at 17 and I still have it. Red and White looks new. Did the complete Route 66 about 10 years ago with it. Now an Old Man but it has a few engine Mods 20 over bore a nice cam. I have that with my full restored M151A1 1966 Ford Mutt with every option on it including the Artic Package it too looks Battle Ready with the Trailer. I love your video's.

I've cleaned up a lot of really rusty stuff with Muriatic Acid. It works very quickly. Might be a worth using that block as a test bed to see if it can clean up those crusty passages.

[@gregallen4272]

Reverse electrolysis will work better but must be done safely because it creates hindenburg zeppelin gas or hydrogen gas and can get very dangerous if done inside. There is several videos on youtube on the very simple inexpensive way to do it with washing soda available at dollar general stores in the laundry department a battery charger and old battery for balancing the system battery needs to be ok

[@Vaultovinyl]

I'd say Muriatic Acid sounds a lot simpler and cheaper than going to all that trouble. Any time I've used acid it works in mere minutes and cleans very well.

[@stomper2582]

@@gregallen4272 I don’t see how you could isolate the electrode in an engine block unless it was in a large vat with the isolated rod separated from the motor. That might work but it would require a lot of washing soda. 🤔

Glad to see your Galaxie wagon project progressing so well. As a Ford wagon guy I appreciate the old 302 V8 as all of my cars including the 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis have this engine. Since mine are not the high output version they are rated at only 150 H.P. and 270 Ft. Lbs. of torque, but still can get up and go if you stand on it. My 1991 wagon had the engine and transmission rebuilt in 2020 since the original engine build failed at 140,000.0 while I was towing my Triton Triple Quad trailer in Massachusetts. It only has 10,000.0 miles on it since the rebuild. My 1987 wagon has 246,000.0 miles on the original engine and runs like a watch. If you change your oil frequently these engines will last a long time. I am looking forward to your next video on the Galaxie wagon.

[@keithproctor6380]

I just wanted to share this with you. I watched a professional restorer do this. He mixed Kerosene and motor oil together to make a solvent to loosen nuts and bolts...better than liquid wrench..works exceptionally well. For gas tank cleaning he put Citric acid in a glass, a whole granulated packet...poured it in the tank after it dissolved and then filled the tank with water and let it sit. Rinsed it out with water then poured Acetone in the tank, swished it around and the tank was beautiful, as if it was never rusted at all. Thought you might like to know how the Old timers restore without buying much.

[@garymatthys3605]

The hump in the front of the oil pan is to clear the oil pump. Make sure the damper and flywheel are the correct balance factor (50 oz) for that engine. They make both 157 and 164 tooth flywheels with 50 oz balance, so which ever you need. Your bell housing will determine which one.

[@garymatthys3605]

The 4 long bolts around the water pump inlets go into the water jacket. They should be installed with thread sealant.

I might have hooked up the water pump (with heads and intake) and used a washing machine motor to push Evaporust through that block for a few days. With the bad bore the rust probably pushed it over the edge, but I’m not convinced that the rust made it unsalvageable…

Check out using reverse electrolysis to remove rust there are several different videos on KZbin just don't do it inside it creates hindenburg zeppelin gas or hydrogen gas also works good on all rusty metal parts without degrading them and making easier to hold paint

Just have to be careful using the hammer and socket technique cuz if you don't get it on there straight you can have the retainer gouge into the side of the valve stem and wreck the valve You're really better off to use a valve spring compressor every time

[@tomhutchins1046]

You can tap the edge of the retainer to break the wedge fit but you are correct you need to use a compressor after that. You can also damage the keepers = dropped valve ouch.

I was an engineering student in 1969 thru 1973. The school was General Motorss Institute, now Kettering. It was a coop education, with alternating 6 week sessions working and at school. My work sponsor was Chevrolet Engineering Center at the GM Tech CEnter. One of the technicians there had what I hav always thought was the ultimate sleeper, a 67 Chevelle wagon with a typical grandma turquise paint job and a 327 logo on the front corner. However, this was the 327, 365 HP with a 4 speed "rock crusher" close ratio and a 4:11 posi rear end. It also had headers and exhaust cutouts. He would open these once in a while leaving the Tech Center going out onto Van Dyke in Warren. What a sweet sound, that high compression small block just screaming! He happened to be the uncle of one of my college buddies who was equally as crazy. I love sleepers, expecially wagons.

Josh. The rule of thumb on the 302HO with stock pistons, camshaft lift should not be over .500 the F303 Ford motor sport cam what is a 512 lift and even with the proper springs would cause piston to valve interference but usually not till you got them up over about 4000 RPM. .498 lift such a a F303 cam might be more desirable simply because of not having piston to valve interference.

[@3rdworldgarage450]

I would DEFINITELY run the T5! It will have a better selection of ratios plus an overdrive. The thing to remember though is that the old 3 and 4 speed manual transmissions usually had their shifters of the side while the T5 will have it right down the center of the trans. It may require some interesting engineering to get a shifter that works properly with a bench seat since I believe it will be farther rearward than the old 3 speed shifter. However, it will make the question of what starter to use easier to answer since the bellhousing and flywheel will be a matched set. Also, I believe the Ford 5.0 uses a starter that is more like a GM product with an integrated solenoid. The major issue you will run into when using the T5 is that it uses a cable style pull clutch rather than a linkage or hydraulic push clutch. The pedal requires a bellcrank shaped piece called a Quadrant that bolts to the top of the pedal at the pivot point. This will require a hole in the firewall that will need to be reinforced or else it will pull right through. Even on the 5.0 Mustangs, it was not unheard of for them to crack the firewall and pull through with a high performance clutch.

Make sure you keep those 289 rods. You can use them in a 302 to have more dwell at tdc and taller compression height. There’s some stuff you have to do to make it work, but it’s an old school trick to get a high compression engine with lots of rod ratio. T5 in that wagon would be awesome!
