I love to see the originals still being shown respect
I’m afraid that in my lifetime they will go away
They are absolutely obsolete
It’s the respect that matters,they were the first
I’m talking about the builders as much as the engine
Thanks for watching and your comment, Adam.
NICE LITTLE FLAT HEAD GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE REBUILDING THEM
That's a nice sounding engine.
That gentleman is an absolute expert, I’ve had many cars over the years but one car I had back in the sixties as a young bloke here in Australia was my 53 Ford Mainline Aussie built Ute and its 239 sidewacker V8, geez I loved that car and that wonderful engine!
Thank you so much, James!
That runs nice and smooth! Actually sounded not as loud as I thought it would without exhaust.
Thanks Mark
Awesome thanks for letting me know all about what you know God bless you and your family.
Thanks same to you!!
I run flatheads in all my cars. Even pulled out a 440 to put in a flattie
😂
Nothing better than a well built merc motor! I love the sound! Thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoy it!
Smooth!!
That one sounds good.
Thank you
I've made 2 Mopar alternator brkts for the front of the intake manifold 1) for the narrow pulley & 1 ) for the wide pulley. Your comments dont allow photos
Sir, you have a new subscriber. Your engine sounds amazing. I've always wanted a flathead, and recently became the proud owner of a '50 Merc. The project stalled when the previous owner passed, so I am trying to sort out a few things. I have dual carbs, and what appears to be a linkage that operates both carbs simultaneously. Should this linkage be progressive? At low rpm would I be running rich? The plugs are burning black and sooty. The valves are oversize, and I was told it has a 3/4 cam. Thank you for your input.

I’m trying to talk my uncle out of his 51 ford with the flat 8
I understand
We're those iron heads shaved for more compression ?
Maybe a little…
I got an original 8 BA carb at a garage sale and I don’t know how much it’s worth. Decent condition and could be cleaned up real well. Any ideas?
I would check ebay to start with.
Where’s your shop located ?
We are coming to you from Phoenix Arizona.
A V8 or !
What's with the head bolts?
I’m not sure I understand the question. Exactly?
@@BarryTsGarage Expect he wanted to see Acorn Nuts on studs.
My 53 putts out when I go to put it in gear?
Not sure
I noticed only one fuel line going to one carb ??😳what's up with that ? Did I miss something 🥺
I’m not sure how many fuel lines you were looking for? It’s a simple carburetor for testing…?
@@BarryTsGaragesorry! thought I seen three single barrel carbs 😳🙋
😀
@@brucebehnke3227 Three deuce intake, no juice to the end carbs, now we know why it was lean.
