DDDT is the best! Favorite channel on youtube!
I'm the bald guy in the black shirt at min 32!! It was such an honor to meet the guys! Keep up the great content!
Nice meeting you! Thanks for watching 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Man of Honor too bad it wasn't a V8 swap, hard-working men though.good, job..all, respect.
Man another great Saturday night with daily driven to close it out!!!!!!
Thanks guys for your never quit attitude. You guys are real car guys who inspire me to keep on plowing on my junk.You all could take the easy way out you don’t.
We’re glad to inspire! Keep rolling with the punches!
Great video! I hope to see more on the Falcon such as a v8 swap.
Thanks! Will do!
Love your never give up attitude 🙂
I am a paramedic in Australia and I have been to a 15 car pile up because the first car stopped on the highway for a duck and ducklings. 7 people hospitalised and 12 people injured. 😮
Keep up the good work.
Love the Falcon and am really enjoying the channel. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great car , job well done
Thanks 👍
I am drawing on memory here, but in many cases a Falcon engine with a blue valve cover was a 144. The red valve cover was usually a 170. This of course depends on which factory the car came from.
I get why you went with another six but at a latter time it would be really cool to see that with a small block of some sort. 351 Windsor if it isn't too wide but even a 260 would be cool.
I think you guys met half your subscribers in this video😂. Seriously though you guys have a unique vibe on this channel, love the content.
a 302 would be good , growing a buddy had one of these in a wagon , fun but no power and cooooold in winter real cold that 6 dont make heat
289 would be great
I'm an Aussie. I had a 1962 XL Falcon sedan with a 170 that would cruise all day on 70mph. I didn't consider a V8 swap when found out how quick it would cruise.
We just need to get up to 70 faster hahaha
Thank you for another video ❤
Thank you!
Definitely a 302 I did one, fun car
Uggghhhh we need to do it haha!
Come on people. 24,500 subs? This is stupid. These guys are a trip. They deserve better then this!!!
Hallelujah!!!!
And thanks for the birthday, wishes! Just so happens Friday was my 58th.
Fun little car!! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
well done guys!
Thanks!
Were not all bad out here in california the laws do suck though I agree 👍🏻
Beautiful state as we said, laws suck haha
Another good one!
Thanks for watching!
Budget 302 swap gasser!
302 small block swap. Give that car some power it deserves.
Or a Barra swap. Bit more work with all the electronics, diff & gearbox but well worth it.
Need longer videos..
True! Just try not to put in too many boring or repetitive parts. This one went quick for some reason
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps yes.. I know i could never let the whole world see watching me working on my cars . I’m telling you keep what ur doing make some longer videos yal will be at 200k subscribers in no time.
I noticed you've got a tail light lens missing. From me to you, who suffered a rear-end accident in a Ford Fairmont, spray the tail light bulbs red. Legal you will be.
Do a 260 👍
Old girl got you home, deserves a new life...
True!
300 inline 6 with a turbo?
Just subscribed, i live in northeast Missouri right by where Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois meet. Im up by oskaloosa and des Moines quite often.
Nice!
Would love to see it sitting low with a nasty Mustang motor in it! 5.0 5 speed!
YESSSSS
Great video. Makes those “will it start “ videos look like amateur hour.
glad brought dad miss my dad everyday that and yelling some call it motivation little inside mindset music was food was end the end find way get it done right last for years so when you are at that moment needing what it is it works skills trades
302.......yup
With the dirty fuel tank..Why didn’t you just run with (2) 5 gallon jug. ?
Fuel tanks brand new. We had 2 inline filters as well. Bug was def in the carb already.
Put a three fifty one cleveland and tub it
Parts stores up here would never let you do it in their parking lot
Up where? We'll come and try it
What better way to show what a DIY supporting buisness than let you do work in their parking lot. Its just good buisness practice in customer care on their part.
Trueee that!
It’s a V-6 man😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like why straight pipe your v6 camaro?
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I don’t know either but it’s funny when you get to see it
302
If its painted red it is quite possibly a 144.
ford is flipped over reservation decoration first on race day fix or repair daily buck over rebuild dodge have few like 351 like get me 460 got few differt once like old and new have to say each has good or bad
yes i hate tourist snow i just cant expain how dump people are in road side road or photo or playing want see how fast people can drive or how worse be are collage, goverment , even school zones entitlement unprepared late last min just road rage
i dont play break check i either pull over wait or go around or simple action reaction just not worth getting upsett just have coffee take leak get snack pack or group meantality timeing is everthing really early real late
This was just plain stupid
unoooooooo reverse card
Shocked Autozone let you throw a motor in your car in their lot.
They let us in Fulton haha
Paying customers only. We install belts for you too if the engine is out of the vehicle.
I like to see whatever you guys do. I'm a disabled vet that misses doing this kind of stuff. I have little use of my hands anymore. So watching you guys each Saturday night is a gift. Serious!
We love to hear that! We like bringing joy and motivation to our crowd!
Love see falcons getting back on the road. I have a 63.5 falcon sprint with a 260 and 4sp that my grandfather bought new. It’s been restored from frame up. And I would love to see the old girl budget restored. I’ve been told that the later falcons were the predecessors to the mustang. Absolutely love what you guys do! Keep it up!
That's sweet!
I knew someone who had a '63. He was the original owner but the car was a pile of rust. I was amazed it was still on the road and it was a shame to see it in that state. Guy had been unemployed for a long long time but still had his trusty old Falcon.
Man, I really love this channel, lol. Keep it up guys.
Glad you enjoy it! We'll keep em comin!
Yes, people are getting that bad at driving. lol.
Thank you for the happy birthday! 🎉. Today's my birthday 1963. first car I remember was a 1963 red falcon a lot like the one you're working on. 😊 (Mom later traded in for a '65 Galaxy 500) I'd like to see you hot rod that straight six & . See what you can do with that little Falcon. Some Clifford Research 6=8 😊.
Whooo. Perfect timing for a vid! Thanks. Nothing like questionable decisions executed successfully for fun and profit.
You bet! Thanks for watching!
No frills budget builds just to get them old girls going with a touch of adventure is what I enjoy. Watching some guy fine tune his turbo gets real old. Keep up the good work.
True that!
Audio was ifey on this one. I like these old falcons. We use to run around in one in High School. Yeah, I'm old.
YES, I had too have my volume damn near turned up ALL THE WAY, then commercials came on & BLARED OUT OF MY SPEAKERS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOUR WIFE.
Yea, me too. My 69 was the terror of Atlanta GA, ' two wheel Bob ' they called me.😂
Gotta admit, a 302 would be smart, but what about a "big block" swap (300)? I know getting power out of them is slightly easier than getting blood from a stone, but I also know I'm a glutton for punishment, lol.
Big block swap it
Loving the content guys! camera and editing on point as well !
I got a car for yous to buy. I'm in Illinois
I'm just confused why you towed it to a parts store parking lot. Just do it in buddies back yard like everyone else unless you break down at the parts store ? Idk anyone else agree? Keep up the good work just sharing an opinion. No diss intended
Guy wasn't our buddy. He let us park it there for 3 weeks, it was time to move on. Plus if we need something, part store is feet away haha
Ls swap it 🎉
It's either an 170 or 200. It's hard to tell
More falcon only with forced induction 6
Done everyday in the big city. It’s awhile you wait thing
Scrub 9that car with comet and rub it down with fluid film I bet it comes back to life!!
True that!
@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I fell itbwpuld look amazing. I like yhe 302 idea, however everyone dies it, that little 179 seemed to rub goid I think a 4 speed swap would be sick. Maybe even a 300 straight 6 swap how neat would that be?
Awesome work. Motor swap in parking lot and driving 6 hrs home alot more than I can do.
Yeah, build it. I’m building a 61 Comet right now so this is right up my alley.
Nice!
Hey guys, I'm Brazilian following from Dublin. Are you going to completely renovate this beautiful car? I'm looking forward to seeing it fully restored.
I really want to see this car cleaned up and polished with the patina
Heckkkk yeah!
Yes v8 falcon , I’m a tri 5 guy .but I subscribed , and I’m 62 if ya need any old guy advice
Overflow bottle, 1 -2 liter bottle cap , and hose from over flow it works guys easy over flow road side repair
25:15...Look kids, Big Ben! Parliament!
🤣
I love AutoZone better than Oh oh O'Reilly .. more like Oh Oh No-- warranties!! This time! 😂 Autozone Honors my Warranties all the way back to year 2000 on my cars ive owned since then. O'REILLY IS HARD NOSED and question why i still own them. Terrible, ive spent 10s of thousands between both parts stores.
who cares about what anyone says!!! Too many whiners on here!! Keep doing what you do. Nobody’s perfect!!!
FE engine transplant plus a higher top-speed gear ratio would be pretty neat i guess.
Were these "Thunderbolt"- Merc Comets equivalents to Fairlanes or Falcons!?.
But a healthy Ford smallblock would do the job quite as well, if not better and i guess would be more economical.
Another option might be A 300 Inline 6, if it happens theres such one around by accident.
Neat car nonetheless
Yes drop a 351 modified maybe
It’s getting the 5.0 out of the gt350 we revived
Love you guys. In my opinion
Others would give up and y’all push through. Love following y’all along.
You guys inspire me to just drive it!
Love that! Glad to inspire!
If you want to do it cheap and easy, just 302 swap it. They had the 260 v8 in them from factory and it's about the only v8 engine that'll fit with headers being smaller than the 351, ls, or sbc
Haha My brother had a Falcon like that with the 170. I remember one day when it was -21 degrees and his car was the only one on the block that would start! (He had an aftermarket electric heating element in one of the heater hoses with it's own little circulating pump. You could actually see a bit of steam in you opened the radiator cap! 😂😂❤❤
Ford sold these here in Australia. No v8 . The first ones were criticised for bad ball joints. Rough roads in Australia back then. They put fairlane ball joints in to solve the problem. They restyled them 3 times independent from the usa cars. The final version was the xp falcon that came in two and four door versions and a 200 six was offered.
I love watching your road-trips will it run I believe they add suspense
Glad you like em!
You were at autozone why didn’t ya just buy a 100.00 carb
You guys could really use a couple awnings for over your work Arias. It's been a must in the work truck for me for the past few years and I tend to enjoy working on Riggs a bit more than without the shade. Just a little protection can keep a guy working longer if he's not sweating as much as he would be in the sun getting heat exhaustion. By the way this is been a interesting video so far and it's not half way through it yet I just wanted to comment while it was fresh in my mind.
It’s in need of a sassy small block
For sure!
I love those first gen Falcons! First car I ever worked on was my Grandfather's 60 Falcon wagon. I was probably 12 or so, and replaced the starter for him...an all day job for a 12 year old, LOL!
Haha good memories!
The 170 six is a weak sister, and the crappy air-cooled 2spd. automatic makes the little Falcon a real slug. Fuel economy on that set,-up will astonish you.
Man this is what wrenching is all about. I've done this with my dad several times back in the day. Love the content guys keep it coming
Right on!
put a v8 in it. Great video , first time watching you guys. Thanks
I had several of them little ford 6s. The ones I had, the 144 and 200 was blue and the 170 was orange. All were good dependal engines.
Just found you fellars channel and subbed! Cool stuff boys, I can dig it! Brings back a lot of memories, no doubt! Did a lot, and I mean a lot of grease monkeying, outside, in a lot of different places, hell that’s about all I ever drove was old clunkers, had to work on them, quite a bit, fixing something another! I’m an old man now, not able to do all that, it’s a “B” getting old! Anyways, y’all keep on keeping on and I’ll be watching, 👍👍🤙🏻🤙🏻✌🏻, oh yeah and I’m in Kwacky ( Ky), Central Ky to be exact!
Glad you found us and like the content! We'll keep em comin! Thanks!
Man i miss my 69 Falcon, if i knew then what i do now i would have tried to save it.😢
do you know why see themos full coffee i do half gallons cars are freedom its meal ticket it like patch on leather vest i always like challenge i did that for three days stright other week but got it done that and three prebaked pizzas used to do it with bread and pb and j cans beans cans meat how bad do you want be prepared it always something full throttle is rpms its rush of oppertionity thats what makes people truck car autos it in your blood big boy toys country tool box arron tippin fact life ya harleys always old bikes just got want it
"They started putting it in without me" almost made me spit out my drink!!
🤣🤣🤣
ever talk to other channels like vise grip or junky yard digs hamlton farm turning rust zip tyes and bias plias even
used car sales men diesel brothers simple is it gets make honest effort just takes time rick or dave even tony on motor trends
best currency is baked goods and pack somkes and beer now had you had few shirts hats with you or even bumper sticker
Another great video guys! Love watching your stuff! Just a side note here; I've been a mechanic for over 35 years now, and I can honestly say that you guys have way more patience than I do...I haven't seen anything that I'd call a tantrum lol! Now if I was on camera, I'm sure I'd get slammed with comments about language, attitude, and an occasional flying wrench 🤣🤣🤣 so hats off to you guys, keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching, people who don't do what we do have no idea how frustrating it can be haha. Off camera theres a lot of language, depression and things thrown hahahaah
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I hear you brother! Keep up the great work, I love it! 👍
Dude buy some heavy duty tarps to lay under the cars before you start will make your clean up so easy.
I think this needs to be a gasser. With a 302, straight axle, and a 4 speed!
Ty guys, u let us know anyone of us can go have some automotive adventures of our own. Keep it up 😊
Pull thermostat housing , silicone it
I say do a 2 stroke Detriot Diesel 453T swap.
