"Machine shop purgatory" I like that phrase, I have a set of Cleveland heads in that same state. Full service machine shops are few and far between these days, those that have survived are booked up. Cool to see the insides of an old flattie again, it was the first engine I ever tore apart. Nothing wrong with the backyard rebuild, I think that's how Henry intended them to be done.

That really takes me back scraping sludge, grime, and gaskets. You're right, the oil was pretty crude back then. I remember buying Empire State 30w oil in a 2 gallon jug for 2 bucks, Their claim, it was refined from the finest refined oils. Good to hear the truck made it back to the family.

1st of all your voice is great for videos. 2nd, see is perfect for what she is and perfect for how she is. I enjoy A's that are perfect and all shined up,however, cars like yours definitely tell a story. I look at our 28Tudor and think ,I'm going to make a certain thing look new ,or change a bunch of things,that's not for me. We've driven our 28 8000 miles in a bit over 2 years. She's perdy just the way she is. I love your car as she sits. Best wishes from N.H.

Interesting to hear all of the history. I am picking up a 64 2-door today.

Killer !!

Hey thanks for the video I was looking at the high compression head from Snyder and I was wondering if the 551 head is that with standard pistons if so how would I find out the compression would be with bigger pistons thanks I hope this question make sense

Nice car, I believe the all metal sediment bowl was early 28/29 and the glass bowl was later on 30/31. Complete car to start with

1962 or 1963 Ford Fairlane?

P r o m o s m 💕

One of our original brochures too

Tasca Ford owner, Bob Tasca Sr, built the first Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt in 1963.

my first car to drive legally was 53 merc coupe that had been shaved red and white with naugahyde upolstry 2 carbs just ford 94s and jc whitney duel exhaust quite a ride for a 16 year old, lucky me .

It's absolutely insane how these things can run pretty well with only one head installed

I've seen everything now 😮

I enjoyed that.

I've pulled the heads off a few of them engines but, only seen a couple that clean and that was over 40 years ago. Amazing to find one like that today. You had to be grinning ear to ear after prying that head off.

I like it I'll be looking for the next video keep up the good work 👍

Sounds like Ruthie is getting a little muscle.

I think the two 94's are the way to go, along with the sides off the hood. Does it have the EAB heads? I remember my dad using those to bump the compression on the older engines.

Firing an old flathead up on the garage floor really hit home for me, dad was always dragging them home. Excellent choice for Ruthie, 👍

Beautiful 71 looking forward to more videos and updates

You keep saying " no big deal " rear mains are a dig deal " ain't much you can do taking the oil pan off. Don't worry about it all of them leak 60 weight Wolf head oil an your good to go pull the ears back an let her roll😅

That ain't nothing , its a A modle. Don' t fool with it Just drive it like you stole it !!!😊

Shoot on over to the fordbarn on the computer and in the swapmeet, under parts wanted, ask about rebabbitted, or nos con rods for the A. Probably grab one- plus an oil pump- for around $40-$60. The struggle is ongoing with a Model A. Engines are easy to find - good ones,well,not so much.

My thought, put back together and drive it. While you decide what to do..

Good video what is your goal with the car? Is it going to be a little cruiser around town? Is cost a consideration? I think I would rebuild the 4 banger but then a flathead V8 would be cool

She looks a little tired. Personally I like the flathead V8 idea but, the 2.3 would probably be the cheapest and most reliable option.

It's a labor of love ❤

Always like the updates 👍

Thanks for the update, shout out to Synder's for standing behind their parts, that's rare these days. That Eastwood rust encapsulator really does work, I put that on my brothers floorboards over 20 years ago and the rust hasn't progressed to this day. Yeah, I'll walk past a blinged out ride every time to look at one still in original condition.

NOOOO

If she has the fuel valve opened.

I enjoyed watching the video of the Brumfield cylinder head installation. Larry Brumfield was my brother-in-law. He passed January of last year. He was passionate about the cylinder heads he created, and it was great to see one being put on the road.

Oh man that carb cable, oh btw I run duel 390s on my 351w, but run them not backwards.

Sounds like you got her dialed in.

your lucky the head came off easy, the head on my Model A took me 3 weeks to take off, the studs where rusted to the head

Love the look of old cars, you may shine up the paint a bit, fix the top, but you can drive these cars anywhere & not worry about getting them "dirty"!

Thank you for a very interesting video

That engine sounds much better than it looks. The Tudor is a good choice for a first Model A. All-steel lightweight body, simple upholstery, very roomy and comfortable.

I think it's a great move to go from the Top Loader to the Jerico! I myself prefer a stick over an automatic and if you want an automatic then that's what your tow vehicle is for.

Awwww 😢

Love it I have a 4 door springtime yellow 1967 fairlane 500

Dam , I had one of these .

You still have the memory.

Thanks for the info.

I had 63 Fairlane in 1974, 302 C4 trans. Now i have 69 Mach 1 351w 4spd changed to 5 spd. Owened for 32yrs. The 63 burned to the ground, but i really liked the 63. I still thank about the 63 Fairlane.

Great video, thanks.

390's forever, great sound.

Is this an ongoing restoration, or a "rat project"? Great car with lots of potential!

I'd leave the body, and all, the way it is but the chassis all needs to be saved. "Rust never sleeps"
