This is how it is in the world of mechanics. You spend all your time, effort and money on it and it go's ahead and repays you with a grenaded engine. I've been here many, many times!

Love how you removed the trunk lid to convert your car into a pickup LOL!!!
@mercSnakeСағат бұрын
This reminds me so much of myself in the 1970s. In the late 70s I drove through Windsor Ontario with a 1971 Maverick. In the trunk was a 318 Dodge V8 engine and the trunk lid was in the back seat. Every time I let the clutch out the Maverick wanted to wheelie and at stop lights people were asking me to race! Great video and great memories!

sidestepping the obvious . . . . . top notch editing skill exudes the flair for shadows conflated as color pushing context & making the drama a show stopper. well done. you tell a very, very good story my friend. i also got same challenge with my '94 F150. engine needs out & i am in a backyard on gravel, but this production offered me a good tip that so far had escaped my indulgence to solve independently. thanks for this. i wonder if any of my Saabs will offer up their resource as conveniently as the Fairlane(?) to move the motor when the next phase requires the visit to another gearhead's barn for the consummate effort into the measuring & re-building. coolness in my gratitude your way.

I’m so sorry your engine went external combustion but i do love your transplant operation. I can watch you all day doing this! BTW I read in the comments section from your prior videos that you tied the knot with Mrs. Fordman! If true I send both of you my blessings and love with well wishes. Please let us know if there eventually are going to be little Fordmans running around under your cars with you who’ll be passing you tools while joining us all watching you fix things!! Peace my younger brother!! My best!!! 🙏🏽

When I was looking for an old truck to get my dad said to get a 300 straight 6 like this, so much room in the engine bay you could work on it in the rain with the hood closed. The last one he had many years ago he was able to pull the pistons and re ring them from the bottom with out removing the head. Next time get some plasti gauge and check the bearing clearances and if necessary do a bearing roll, along with a light cylinder hone and new rings along with the other things you did. Great video as always!!!

the secret to keeping those 300s running strong is use good oil in them and change it on a regular basis and use a quality oil filter those 300s dont like the cheap stuff and dont rev them to the moon either they are torque motors..

Hoping the cork oil pan gasket seals. I’ve never had luck with cork no what installation methods I’ve used: dry, with a very thin layer of sealant, grease, Vaseline, spray-tack, torqued bolts, hand tightening, dry threads, sealed threads they always seem to leak way too soon again. They are a bit of a dark art to get right so fingers crossed!

Just think about all the vehicle that is manufactured today... Would we be able to repair it as "easily" in our homes with some tools and some knowledge like you did with this ford truck... They sure are overengineered... I am waiting for the moment when that happens like the young generation fixing up a hybrid or electric car all by themselves saying: " Y'all folks this is my tesla truck I did all the gaskets for it yesterday. Easy PEasy" 🤣 Back in the good old days they not only sold vehicles but cars that could be repaired and last decades and half a mans life if the seasonal maintenances were been taking care of..
