I love Starliners you just don't hardly ever see those anymore. I have a 60 T Bird with the 352 and 63.5 Galaxie 500 with a 390 and yeah those cast iron FE intake manifolds are super heavy, helps to have an extra pair of hands. Love those old chrome Thunderbird valve covers too.
Great to see a young man who likes old American iron .Love the Starliner and Mustang content.. I have a couple of Mustangs myself and would love to have a Galaxie. Keep up the great work.
The Starliner is way cool for sure, but what's really cool is working with your Pop by your side ! Enjoy every minute n take lots of pix with him during the process. Looking forward to the next video.
These cars are really cool looking. It takes 2 men to lift an iron FE intake! LOL. I would have used an aluminum intake. Easier on your lower back. LOL! Nice work.
From the UK - love hot rods and muscle cars, plus my first car was a Beetle that i restored Cal look style (pretty rare over here in '87!) so this channel is so cool to me, love it! 👍🏻
I love watching a bunch of new and restored parts go back on a good old deserving engine, good job! Can't wait to watch the whole restoration of this cool car!
Being born in '60 and a Ford man at heart, I love the two year Starliner's. Of course a 390 or 427 would be sweet, but I understand along the lines of originality, it made it this far. Need be, I would even add on to my garage if I had it! They are large but so cool to me.
Chasing parasitic draw can be a nightmare. Easiest "fix" is a battery shut off switch if you are sure the battery tests good. If you want to chase the parasitic draw I would start at the fuse block removing each one individually and testing it with your multimeter. Or, Harbor freight sells a cool 30amp automotive fuse circuit tester that comes in handy and is far less time consuming.
I was 4yrs old when those came out of Detroit and they were around through the 60s as I was growing up , but they were fading away by the early 70s. I thought they had a cool futuristic look. And they were gone by the time I was old enough to drive....😭
That ain't no small block Chevy intake! Those edges on the left and right sides of the manifold are the top of the valve cover sealing area... and some of the pushrods run through the intake manifold, so you'll be pulling the rocker shafts and pushrods. Be sure to put the pushrods back where they came from and don't mix up top & bottom. Oh and if you've got a noisy lifter, it's a good time to fix that too... you can pluck them out with a magnet. (yes, you can put new lifters on an old cam) I have a '61 Sunliner with a 352 2bbl just like that engine.
Friend of mine in HS had the special 360HP version with the 352 cu in engine. His grandparents had given it to him new. Ford advertised it as the first car offered with more than one HP per cu in. This one was purple. The transmission was three-on-the-tree with the 9 inch rear. Over the next year he went through multiple as in eight or nine rear ends until Ford invalidated his warranty. Most of the damage occurred during drag racing up at the Rte. 30 Dragway in York, PA. I happened to know one of the Ford mechanics who worked on it. For the last one they put in such a tall gear ratio that the car did 90 mph in first gear out on the Baltimore Beltway according to the mechanic. After the warranty was pulled, the grandparents who had bought the car for him in the first place got tired of paying the repair bills and returned the car to The Ford dealership. It was last seen parked on the top deck parking lot of the dealership.
@@FourSpeedFilms Good article about these cars: www.motortrend.com/features/super-rare-superstar-1960-ford-starliner-360hp-high-performance-v-8/ Many of the Starliners were cut up after Ford dropped the roof style. To be eligible for NASCAR in those days the car needed to be a body style available in that year. After Ford abandoned the Starliner roof style, many drivers in the lower NASCAR classes cut these tops off the earlier cars and grafted them on the newer ones. This might account for the low number of authentic cars available for restoration.
Dude, I grew up around old cars, brought my first car at 15 which was a 77 holden kingswood (I’m Australian), had a couple of them no ended up selling them for more reliable transport.. I’ve never had anything normal, always had something different, but had far too many 90’s and 2000’s cars.. then found your channel about a year ago and thought fuck it, get back into the old gear.. went out and brought a Toyota corona xt130 (we have chrome bumpers over here, not the pig plastic ones you got in California), it had wicked patina, but extremely low mileage for a 40 year old car and immaculate interior.. and since then I picked up a car I spotted years ago that the old owner wouldn’t sell me at the time, it’s a 46 Morris Oxford, stretched front end with 70’s GM suspension, shortened 10 bold diff, Holden engine and trans (think chev inline 6, very similar to our Holden 6, it’s all GM after all).. she was built in the 70’s as a salt racer.. good reliable and cool daily hot rod, and not the type of car you’d think of to be turned into a hot rod which is even cooler.. absolutely nothing in it that it doesn’t need, only the things it needs to start and drive reliably… thanks dude for getting me back into driving old cars and hot rodding!
I have for sale a factory aluminum 352 H.P. four barrel intake manifold. It does not have a Ford Pt# on it but it does have the FORD Oval. Passenger side between 5 and 6 runners next to the carb flange. It did not come from the FORD foundry but, instead from an outside supplier to FORD for the H.P. 352 option package in 1960. The carb sits flat, not on a rake angle like in a Galaxie. The firing order is on the back rear left corner because of the reverse hood hinge in the earlier models like in 1959 and prior. Intake is in great shape been hanging on the garage wall for the last 30 years. If interested reach out in this reply area and we will figure out something.
Very cool! I bet it’s super light compared to the stock one. I’m not sure if we want to spend more money since we bought this one and got it dipped. Thanks for the offer though!
some 0000 steel wool will clean up those covers a bit. and maybe a four hole spacer for the carb? looking forward to seeing this cruiser get some love.
Luv all ur dads rides from way back ,an u both working on it ,but wait wheres gramps?? It a family thing,gramp's can supervise..lol.lol.next video.😎😎👍👍✌✌
Cant wait to see all the upgrades. But please please please throw out that fram oil filter. They are horribly made. If you don’t believe me look up tests comparing oil filters, they are the worst oil filters you can get

check out thunderhead289's channel for awesome advice on these engines.
Back 1975 a buddy in high school had a 60 Starliner....thought it was ugly.....now today the one year model is cool!!!
I did the 4 barrel upgrade to my 352 in the 65 f100. Those intakes are heavy but works good. Can't wait to hear your dad's car fire up!
Cool!

As a young kid my uncle had a black starliner garage kept in perfect condition it was a beautiful car.
Cool!

That Starliner and the mid 50s era F100s are the pinnacle of Ford design in my book. Some of the best looking vehicles ever.
Starliner is extremely cool, it deserves all the upgrades to keep that awesome rod on the road.

Beautiful car young man. Good to see young men like you appreciating the old school cars.
Starliner is gorgeous
Thanks!

Thanks for watching! More coming soon
I love the Starliner man. Excited to see it running well and you guys out cruising it around.
@@FourSpeedFilms Those old cars need to be driven.

Good looking car, always liked that body style! 👍👍👍
Thanks!
The ‘starliner’ must be wild to drive it’s huge! capt kirk called the ‘enterprise’ is missing!

Greetings from Germany! I have a 1966 Mercury Monterey here with a 390 FE. Awesome engines
Yes. More starliner content!
Love the car & the original patina too. The Starliners have such beautiful lines & stance . Looking forward to the built & transformation.
Thanks!
Yeah, upgrade that FE!! Looking forward to the next installment Ben.
I love this car. Such a cool style...
Pretty unique

I agree Allan.
Great update Ben. Love the Starliner. Ron

@@FourSpeedFilms cool to see you chemically clean the intake; i'll be doing that to my iron small block intake too.
Yes bro , loved it can wait to see it on the road 🍔
If those cool new parts don’t work, let me know Ben we can LS swap that thing 😎
Luv all ur dads rides from way back ,an u both working on it ,but wait wheres gramps?? It a family thing,gramp's can supervise..lol.lol.next video.😎😎👍👍✌✌
We are going to bring him back soon haha
Ok this time Ben,,lol,,
Something I miss is the little chime when your Instagram handle shows up!
Dig the bigole driveway tiki 🗿
perfect
Thanks!
Cool! That aught to be a great looking combo. Is that a Mallory coil?
What is the song that plays at the end ?
If I had the money I’d go to the US and search for one of these old girls!
A 7.3 Godzilla engine for the Starliner?
Lowww & SLoow 🤘🏼
Do they sell aluminum intakes for the 352 Ford?
yes. but this factory one flows about as well as the edelbrock performer in the range this engine is good for.
What camera do you use?
Cool channel. New subscriber here.
Thanks for the support!
I don’t see many of those 👀
Bruh not the Fram filter lmao
@Four Speed Films \ That's Coles old ride from the 90's...¿ Can't memer...☆☆☆
get an aluminum intake manifold. saves about 60 LBS
It’s literally so heavy😂
Cant wait to see all the upgrades. But please please please throw out that fram oil filter. They are horribly made. If you don’t believe me look up tests comparing oil filters, they are the worst oil filters you can get
Will do haha
Like the 61 model better
Whats the name of the song on your ending credits?
